tract tor building the road. The average
cost of building railroads in this country la
about $54, 900 per mile. The Central Pa
ci1c company paid the Contract and FL

The Central Pacific is to day pleading pow
crty as an excuse for not paying the mon
ey it owes the government. As the con-
tract and finance swindle is only
one of the many ways In which the
railroad kings of the Pacific coast have
stolen money wherewith to build their
costly mansions and buy their luxuries

many state legislators), and as this stealing
has not stopped and probably will not as
long as there is anything to steal, probably,
although frcights will remain at the present
extortionatc figures the company will re-
main too poor to pay its debts. One Of
the maneuvers which show the greatness of
soul of the managers occurred thusly Last
winter trade dollars were deprecated until
they passed for ninety cents. The Central
Pacific railroad refused to take them for
more than ninety cents, but paid all its en-
ployees in trade dollars at par. Ono man
who was working for the company had
some freight come from the east. When
pay day came he drew his pay aud went TO
pay his freight bill, when he found he had
to pay II per cent. premium on the bill, in

haps he didn't give vent to any profanity.

REDUCE THE EXPENSES.

Diminishing for the uonce the exact figures:

penses of the state, we made ''damninq

binary expenses of the state, both the gross
expenses as well as the net expenses, have
lir1ely lcre lsad, are increasing year by
year, and tia: they have more than doubled
silce 1861. In looking for this increase
we find that while the salaries Of the COVER.
nor, Judges of probate and states ATTORNEYS
remain substan tally the same as they did
til cen years ago, although their duties
have Increased to 4 greater or less extent.
we are now paying the secretary of state
nearly ten times as much as we did Ia
1910, an about five times as much ns we
did in 1861 AMI the state treasurer and
auditor OF accounts five times as much as
they were paid il 1861. We mention these
three officers, not because their salaries and
pay alone should be REDUCED, but because
the inlqlity OF the increase is more appar-
ent in their CASES than in tholc of MANY
other olliGer4.
The case of the state tire asurer furnishes
ua further Illustration Of the wholesale
manner in which our state expenses have
been increased. At the session of the gen
eEal assembly, ia 1872, an act was passed
the first section Of which was as folloWs .
" Inc treasurer OF this state is hereby di.
" rected to prepare, in tubular form, a
" statement showing the amount due from
" this state 10 soldiers Ia the late war for
" the suppression of the rebellion, which
" statement shall give the name OF the
"so'der, hi' company and regiment, with
" the amount due him, designating whether
" it is for extra pay, or for interest on al
" 10 t ID p'y."
We have beea thus particular IN quoting
the language of tie act, that our readers
may seq exlc,ly what the state treasurer
was required to do II will be seen that
every fact cOnainel in the statement he
was req Tired II make was contained on the

he was directed to prepare was simply a

THE RUTLAND JUSTICES.

At the last annual election in Ruillnd
there were fifteen justices of the peace to
be chosen, and there were three tickets in
the field. Ga each of these tickets were
the names of J0bB L. Leonard and William
L. Gilmore, so that on the canvass OF the
votes, it appeared that each OF these per
sons was almost un lnimously elected II
is asserted, hoVevo and is undoubtedly
true, that there are no such persons as
Join Z. Leonard or Wlllisn L. Gilmore in
Rutland, aud SO when the joint assembly
met for the purpose of hearing the re port
Of tho cauvassiog committee and complot-
Ing the election Of county officers, the cases
of the Rutland jus.ices Of the pace were
deferred, or referred back to the commit
tee for further action.
l. is now reported, and apparently on
trustworthy authority, that in the matter
OF the votes for Join L Leonard, it has
been found that there is actually no such
person in Rutland, and that tbs votes wor
intended for Joseph Il. Leonard, and so
they have been counted for J. E. Leonard,
and Joseph f. Leonard declared elected by
the votes cast for John Il. Leonard. In
this has boon followed the precedent in the
case OF the election Of high bailiif in
Washington county, in 1872, where the
votes were gwen to James NJ. Fisher but
counted for JOHN hi. Fisher, he being the
person nominated and for whom the vote!
were intended. 81 following this precc

RRLIGIoUs ENTHUSIASM.

Rev. Kerr &. Anderson, of the Hanover
street Congregational church, delivered a
sermon yesterday morning which should
have been heard by every Christian in the
city of Milwaukee, 70 full was it of the
moral strength which charges ore with new
life TO buffet with the every day world.
"Relgious enthusiasm" was taken as the
subject, the text being, "Alive TO God,
through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
There has been no period in the worlds
history, said the speaker in substance,
when the significance of these words is 50
full of vital meaning as the present. Men
and women are now alive to all
the various suiferings of humanity.
A city cannot burn up, Massa-

The Vergennes Outrage.


There IS additional excitement at YER
gennes because it has been made known
that besides the robbery at Mrs. Warmers,
adaughter of the lady had been brutally
ravished. The fact had been kept con
cealed as long as possible but has at last
leaked out But before the people gener-
ally knew anything about the matter, the
perpetrator of the deed had been captured
and strongly secured. 1t seems that n
young man named Jane Palmer had con-
fessed since the Warner robbery, and since
the public suspicion has been 80 generally
directed towards johnson, that Johnson
himself told Palmer that he robbed the
franklin house till, aud wanted Palmer to
go into other similar operations with him.
AS soon as Palmer told this story, the oili-
GERS of the law had sufficient grounds for
arresting Johnson, and 80 got upon his
track.
THE METHOD OF DETECTION.
The method of dxing the burglary is re-
ported to have been as follows Some five
weeks ago the Franklin house in Vergennes
was entered ieloniously at night and about
S2j was stolen from the till in the bar.
Among the money missing was a very Pc
culiarly marked penny, which had been an
object of much curiosity and remark It
has been stamped in some way or other
with the figure of a woman, and has been
kept as pocket piece by the barkecper at
the hotel above mentioned. 1t happened
to be left in the till on that particular night
however, and was hence stolen with the
rest of the money. About week after
the penny was passed off in q grocery store
in Vergennes, and the proprietor having
heard it spoken about recognized it. The
mulatto johnson was the man who passed
off the penny, and it was believed that he
was the burglar, yet there was no other
evidence against him, and so the authori-
ties let the matter rest. Meanwhile, seve-
raj moro robberies had been committed in
the city, the last one being that at the resi-
denoe ofAlrs. Warner, on Wednesday night
The matter was now becoming serious, and
suspicion was strongly directed towards
jackson, who was known TO have left
town.
JouNsoNs EXAMINATION.
Johnson's examination began before JUS
tice Green on Friday evening. The pris-
oner, on being searched, was found to
have some of the money that had been
stolen from Mrs. Warmers, and other
things, by which it will be established that
he is the one who committed the deed at
Mrs. Warmers. He was bound oyer till
the next term of the county court in $4,000
on three charges Of burglary, to one of
which he pleaded guilty. His examination
in the rape case then began, and mahy
witnesses were called to the stand, the tes-
timony elected all going to show that
Johnson is undoubtedly the guilty party
But before his examination on this charge
was completed the court adjourned till
Monday morning.

UNION REVIvAL'MEETINGs

The immense crowd that attended the mass
meeting at the K-street market on Wednesday
evening, and the great number that thronged the

cent labOrs of Messrs. Hammond and Bentley
amongst Us, has not yet died out. The increased

G. A. R.-Decoration DaY,

A subscription paper is being carried through
the Departments by Comrade Horace II. Brewer,
for the patriotic purpose of raising funds to be
used in the purchase of flowers for the decoration
OF the graves Of the heroes who gave themselves
up as willing martyrs in the cause Of freedom
and equal rights, and to perpetuate for all time
the integrity of this great Union of American
States as now defined in the organic law of the
land, by signing, sealing and delivering the same
in their lifes blood. The memory of the tens of
thousands of Union braves who thus fell shall
ever be held as most sacred by all the freedom
loving Of the whole world, and when the glorious
events Of ages yet to come shall have been added
tothe history Of our wOrld-absorbing nation Dec
oratiOn Day. will continue to be devoutly OBJ
served by millions of loyal and grateful hearts.
whose earnest prayers will ascend to heaven in
thankfulness and praise for the inestimable boon
which we now in this our first Centennial are ex-
ulting and joining hands with "all creation" in
the celebration thereof.
The list, we notice, is headed by liberal dona-
tiOn each from MIR. Bentley, Commissioner of
Pensions; Col. ]. W. BabsOn, Deputy Commits

received by the thousands who will be present on
this most melancholy, yet glorious, occasion.
