WE DEPRECATE DISCUSSION.

Much as we have heard within
the last few years, about the extrava-
gance of the general government, and
much as we were startled at the passage,
by the last Congress, of the back pay
steal, we have never had occasion to
contemplate such scene as took place
in the British House of Commons on
Tuesday night. When the money of the
people is to be used by the public func-
tionaries in this country, it is expected
that the representatives of the people, as
well as the people themselves, will not
only discuss, but will criticize every act.
1t is the peculiar province of the Yankee
nation tosfind fault with the acts of pub
lie servants, and their prerogative to in
sist upon economy inpublic expenditure,
and to us it looks strange to hear man,
when moving large expenditure of the
public money, deprecate discussion as
appearing ungracious, to the party who
is to have the benefit of the appropri-
alton.
The occasion of this debate in the
Commons was on a motion of Mr.. Glad
stone to increase the allowance of the
Duke of Edinburgh, upon the occasion
of his marriage to the Princess Alexan-
drovna, of Russia, to twenty-five thou
sand pounds per annum, and that in case
the Princess should survive her husband,
to make her allowance six thousand
pounds per annum.
1t is fact well known to all people
that royalty is expensive, and that only
wealthy and powerful nations can af-
ford good article of it. The Duke of
Edinburgh, is a member Of a numerous
royal family, but not having been favor
ed by being born before his brother, the
Prince of Wales, he is in The situation
of the boy whose father was a deacon,
but didn't do much at it. Asa prince, he
would be bothered to answer ARENAS
Wards question, of chow he liked it as
far as he had got But he is a very es-
Unable young gentleman. He is son
of Queen Victoria, has been raised and
educated at the public expense, and is
about to marry the daughter of the big
Car of all the Russias, and it is upon
this momentous occasion that the Queen
sends message to the Commons, and
the Premier moves to make the annual
donation to His Highness and his pretty
little wife the trifle of some one hun
dred and twenty-five thousand dollars
year.
In making his motion Mr.. Gladstone
got eloquent, and paid glowing tribute
to the Emperor Alexander, the father of
the girl, for emancipating his serfs, and
then set forth the suspicious character
of the approaching alliance. He said
that royal marriages rarely had political
or diplomatic significance in these days,
but this union, while it was one of mu-

tual affection, would be new tie be-
tween England and country that had
been regarded as hostile. and after
spreading himself to his hearts content,
and having made his motion, he depre-
Gated discussion as being of a charac-
ter likely to destroy the gracefulness of
the act. How would a young couple of
American sovereigns feel when about to
elope to Hampton or some other good
place to be married, to know that some
high old Blu ks in velvet and fustian
were about to vote to them large for
tune of other peoples money. And how
much would they care, if they only got
the money, how much it was discussed.
But we suppose we ought to look at
this question in the light which royalty
throws around it. Our simple Repub-
lican tastes, having been educated to
supporting paupers on poor farm or
through the Intervention of an overseer,
do not appreciate these wards of ma
ton whom kingly usages require to be
supported as noblemen, in luxury and
extravaganza. We feel deeply that
members of Congress ought not to raise
their own pay to 81 500, yet across the
water a learned statesman deprecates
any discussion over the appropriation of
money enough to pay nearly seventeen
of our modern Congressman, to the sup
port of drone and his prospective fam
lily, who does no valuable public service,
and we are afraid if we had been in the
Commons with our simple Republican
ideas, we should have laughed at the
naughty minister when he repealed as
odious and insulting the question put by
the pious member from Lancashire, of
whether the bride would be baptised
when she came to live on English soil.
And we wish to now suggest to those
papers who are bound to have a Dictator
for this country, that in their system of
C@sarism, they make provision that the
younger children of the king, who are
too indolent to work, should be sup
ported at the common poor farm, and
if they feel that there must be distinc-
ton between them and others at that
asylum, we entreat that it be confined to
giving them double rations. 1t is all we
can afford.

snondino week last year. There has
been a good demand for butter and all
desirable lots are pretty well cleared
ont. Prices have advanced fully lc. per
In choice New York diaries selling at
2S0eSIc.. and Vermont at 29c. per 10.
The proportion of tubs affected by the
hot weather has increased, but we hear
of nothing except Western selling under
zoe. per h. The best grades of Western
were taken at 25@26c. per h., and
medium moved a little more freely at
20@23c., as to quality. Common west
ern finds ready sale at 16@18c. per 10.
The market closes with very firm tone.
At Utica there has been an advance
of about five cents on fancy and two
cents on fine State, but no upward move
ment on the lower grades. Buyers
have to pay from twenty-eight to thirty
cents for the best, but most of the but
ter in the Utica market goes at lower
figures. Fancy dairy and creamery are
worth thirty-two to thirty-five cents in
New York, and fine State, thirty to thir-
ty-two. Welsh tubs are quoted at TWEEN
ty-eight to thirty cents. The Producers
Price Current says:
The feature Of the butter market of
the week is a general advance IN the
better grades. An advance of five cents
on the best pals was charged on Thurs
day, by nearly all the receivers, and to-
day the Improvement was fully estab-
lished, as consequence of this, all 9TH
er STYLES have advanced about two cents,
when of good quality. The very low
grades have not, so far, improved. The
demand was very good early in the week
for the better grades of State, but slnca
the advance there has been less activity
to-day the market is dull. The quiet
ude is probably temporary, and owing
to the fact that dealers saw the advance
coming and took in little stock before
hand. The opinion is expressed that
there is a good deal of butter back which
was only waiting for the present i'm
provement and which will low be for
warded Immediately, and may be in suf-
ficient quantities to canse a reaction.
There is no material accumulation Of
State stock here, and if the butter ar
rives good enough to hold, we think our
receivers will not submit to reaction
unless the arrivals become very heavy
or the demand lessons greatly. The
higher figures for State butter has caused
a free movement in the better grades of
Western and an advance of about two
cents. The low qualities of Western are
about the same as heretofore, with fair
inquiry There has been a moderate in
quiry for yellow lots, not of first quail
ity, for export.

success of this enterprise has already
attracted the attention of other cities.
Even New York, with its failing ''Cro-
ton Fountain" is seriously considering
the question of drawing their own sup
ply from this city by adding more steam
power to that now in operation, and lay
ing the seventy-five miles of pipe neces-
sary. Parties from New York We're
here a few days since with view to
test the feasibility of this place. 1t is
believed that it will be done.
Surveyors are now at work to deter
mine the locality of a mammoth bridge
across the Hudson at this point. Said
bridge will be some half a mile in length
and some hundred and sixty feet above
the water in hight.
This is a famous seat of learning.
Eastman's Commercial College which
has sent out more students than any
similar institution in this country is here.
Mr.. Eastman is now mayor of the city.
There are also three ladies' seminaries
and two, at least, private schools for
boys and young men within the limits
of this city Here also is located ''N as
sar College" the only college proper for
arOnaen in the world. This college has
an admirable outfit, but it is question
able whether young ladies receive here
a more thorough education than in our
best ladies seminaries. And yet one
third, or one-quarter of the necessary
expenses at Vassar will pay all bills at
the seminary giving the young lady all
the advantages of the school. 1t will
not enable parents frequently to pro-
cure $500 dresses for their daughters
which fashion and folly may compel
them to do at Vassar Here is the dan
ger that the aristocratic and wealthy
alone will be able to enjoy the advan-
tages of this famous college. But no
less will be sustained if our ladies' SEM
inaries Gas they do offer facilities for
the highest culture and attainments.
They do not need the foolish notions
and false views of life which such ex-
travagance is likely to impart.

The Geneva Award.

The award of the great State arbitra-
tration at Geneva, which directed the
payment by the British Government of
the sum of fifteen million five hundred
thousand dollars, to the United States, as
an indemnity fund, for the direct losses
occasioned this government and her citi-
zens, during the great rebellion, on ac-
count of the negligence of Her Majesty's
ministry, has given rise to a mislmder-
standing between our Treasury Depart
ment and the financial agents of the gov
eminent, to place the new five per cent.
funded loan. The controversy arises
upon the construction of the act of Con-
gress, in reference to the disposition of
this indemnity fund, which provides,
THAT Immediately upon the payment
of the sum of money, awarded to the
United States by the Tribunal of Arbi-
tration at Geneva, to be paid by the gov
eminent of Great Britain, the same shall
be paid into the Treasury and used to
redeem, as far as it may, the public debt
of the United States, and an amount
equal to the debt so redeemed shall be
invested in the five per cent. registered
bonds Of the United States, to be held
subject to the future disposition of Con-
gress."
1t would appear that by this law, as
well as by the terms of the award, that
this sum of fifteen million five hundred
thousand dollars, is to be paid into the
treasury, and that until its actual RECEIPT
at the Treasury department, this govern
ment has no control over it, but upon
such payment the law is imperative that
it must be at once invested as directed
in the act above quoted. Now the syn
dictate have contract by which, as they
claim, they have the sole control of the
bonds in which this money is to be in
vested, and that by virtue of that con-
tract they are entitled to one half of one
per cent. upon the amount of the bonds
so purchased with the proceeds of this
award, as commissions. With gold at its
present premium this commission
amouts to a little less than ninety thou
sand dollars, which is an item worth
saving by both the government and the
syndicate, and both parties are investi-
eating the law of the case In earnest.
The treasury officials claim that no COM
missions will be due on this investment
for the reason that it is not a sale of
bonds but simply holding of them by
the government, as an evidence of the
amount of the public debt retired by the
proceeds of the award, until Congress shall
gnally dispose of the funds and the
bonds. The correspondence is getting
lively and the parties on each side are
making their best efforts to place this
little item of nearly one hundred thou
sand dollars, where it will do the most
good to the interests they severally rep
resent.

Editor Rutland Herald The passing
stranger finds much to interest him in
this enterprising city, which nestles upon
the eastern bank of the Hudson River,
seYenty-1ve miles from New York city,
am amused by the public spirit here
manifested. The city was tolerably
well supplied with water for domestic
purposes, from its own wells and springs,
but four years ago, the project of sup
plying the people with an unfailing
abundance of this precious fluid, was
settled upon, and the work has been ac-
complished. At the top of "College
Hill, which is $50 feet above high
water mark at the river, a reservoir has
been constructed which holds IL, 900, 900
gallons AT the river, one mile distant,
two steam engines of great power, are
stationed, which force the water through
large pipes, first into a receiver from
which it is filtered of its impurities, and
then to the reseyoirupon the hill. From
thence it comes to the city in great
abundance, and with a force sufficient
to throw a stream from any hydrant
$50 feet. Hence it win be seen that the
people are supplied with fresh water,
not only for ordinary purposes, but are
able, without fire engines, to operate
upon local fires at any time. They have
only TO iix hose to any hydrant, and
the water passes into the air and comes
down in deluging torrents upon the de-
vouring flames. Up to the present time
the city has spent upon this work s437,-
600. They are also spending large sums
for the drainage of the city, all tending
to promote health and prosperity. The

Late Markets.
CHEESE.

CHEESE.
At Utica, on Monday, the market was
quite brisk, with an advance of about 1c
in prices. The offerings were fully 1000
! boxes, and the sales reached, as near as
we could ascertain, 5000. There was a
wide range of prices-12@14c., though
only few inferior lots sold as low as
the first figure. Some early sales were
made at 125@123c., but later in the day
13@14c. were paid for fine, the bulk go
ing at 13t@134c., with several lots at
lac. Quite a number of factories had
received offers OF 1880. when we left,
and were trying to get the figure raised.
The advance in prices is understood to
be because of favorable advices from
Europe. Cheese is quoted by cable on
Monday evening at &c
The receipts in Boston. for the past
week, have been 1884 boxes and %
tons. A decided improvement has taken
place in cheese, caused principally by
the active export demand in New York
Prices are fully &c. higher than last
week, and the tendency is still upward.
New York and Vermont factory is now
quoted at 12k@13c, but very small pro-
portion of what comes here is fine
enough to command the outside price
Ohio factory, in which large business
has been done, sells at 113@123c. per
h., the best lots readily bringing the
highest figure at the close. The ship
ments of cheese from New York, since
the first of January, are largely ahead
of last year, being 42,747, 225 lbs,
against 25,897, AT lbs. in 1872. Last
week the exports amounted to 1898, 1876
lbs
The receipts in New York for the
week ending Saturday last were 1888
boxes, and the exports were 81 ,437 box
es. The cable was 61s. Gold closed at
1867, and the highest quotation for
cheese was 1870: For the corresponding
week last year the receipts were 101,-
$50 boxes, and the exports were 79, 200
boxes. The cable was 56s. Gold closed
at 1143c., and the highest quotation for
cheese was 123. The Producers Price
Current says
The demand has been very active for
export under advices of active markets
in England, and we can safely note an
advance of &c. on State factory. The
feeling of sellers is strengthened by the
fact that nearly all the cheese arriving
are quite green, showing that there eau
be little or no accumulation of stock on
the shelves of the factories. 1t is thought
that the make up to the 1st of July must
be closely cleaned up. The western
factory arriving, especially the Cheddar
shapes, have been in excellent demand
for export, and show about as much inn
provement as State. The home demand
has been rather light.

was active, and prices little better than

OF the seven entries there were six to
start, but objections being raised in three
cases. it being asserted that they were
over age, and two of these objections
being sustained, but four started in the
race-Y oung Whalebone and Annie be-
ing barred out, Rob the Ranter hav-
ing previously been drawn. The follow
ing are the names of the horses in the
order in which they drew positions:
Clark Huntley's 9. G. Zero.
A. II. Danforth's br. G. Canton Boy.
William Dawley's blk. IN. Gunpow-
der.
L. Dawley's S. G. Golddust.
Objection was also raised against Zero,
but the judges decided to allow him to
trot.
FIRST HEAT.
After a few balks at the stand, a good
start was made. Zero took the lead on
the first turn, CantonBoy close behind
him. Gunpowder was third, but break
ing badly, Golddust went by her, and
in these positions they passed the quar-
ter and half mile poles. On the third
quarter the two leaders gradually drew
away, and Gunpowder striking faster
pace, passed Golddust, but soon breaking
the latter again took third position. On
the last quarter, the leaders, maintaining
their former positions, Gunpowder made
a dash. and for few seconds pushed all
hard, threatening to come up second, but
breaking again, Golddust got ahead, and
the horses came in in the following or
der: list, Zero; I'd, Canton Boy; 3D.,
Golddust; 4th, Gunpowder. Time -
3:O2.
The protest against Zero being re-
newed, and neither his owner or driver
being willing to make the necessary
affidavits, the horse was ruled out OF the
race, it being charged that he was trOt-
inc under an assumed name, having for
merly been known as Clifford Boy. The
heat was then given to Canton Boy,
without record of time.
SECOND HEAT.
Canton Boy took the lead on the first
turn. At the first quarter Golddust was
lapping Canton Boys wheel, with Gun
powder clear in the rear, and they trot-
ted in these positions through the next
two quarters. Canton Boy having drawn
away from Golddust some, and Gun
powder being so far behind as to be in
danger of being distanced. On the last
pace. and came down the bOmestretch
finely, saving her distance. Canton Boy
was first, Golddust, second and Gun
powder, third. Time-3:00.
THIRD HEAT.
just after being sent off, GuDpowder
broke and fell behind, and Canton Boy
took the lead. closely tracked through
the first quarter by Golddust. On the
second quarter Gunpowder made mag
nificent squirt, and the three trotted by
the haif-mile post neck and wheel. The
third quarter Gunpowder passed Gold
dust. and took the second place, but
soon breaking, lost it. ON the last quar-
ter Canton Boy stepped out and took a
good lead, and held it through the heat,
Golddust second and Gunpowder third.

ton Boy, second money TO Golddust, and
third to Gunpowder.
