Meeting of the State Board OF Pensions.

Meeting of the State Board OF Pensions.
The State board of pension examiners, Drs.
Hand Murphy and G. E. Smith, met ye sterday
to examine and pass upon applicants for Unit
ed States pensions. These meetings are held
monthly, and have passed by for years as a
matter of course until lately. Yesterday and
the preceding meeting attracted attention from
the numerous applicants. The board examin-
ed thirty yesterday, three-fourths of which num-
Der were adjudged entitled to pension from
wounds received or disease contracted during
service in the late war OF the number, thirty,
applying, nearly all, one or two exceptions
only, were original or first applications. The
late act of Congress giving back pay to such as
may be entitled to pension, has doubtless made
many live over old battles to find wounds in
their country's service. The board was en-
gagged all day in examining the applicants, and
will continue their labors to-day.
During March twenty applied, and for year
previous to that seven per month was about the
average.
The cases up for examination before the
board are such as are ordered before it by the
United States commissioner of pensions. In
nearly every town of importance there is q To-
cal medical examiner of applicants for pen
sions. Whenever some doubt arises as to the
eligibility of the candidate for veteran honors
his case is referred to the State board.

The home rulers in Ireland have made
important gains in the parliamentary cleo
tions just held. They have such repre-
sentation as will command respect, and
though they aresnot majority they will IN
doubtedly hold the balance of power in the
commons. If they but unite as to policy
they can no Doubt secure important reforms
in the laws affecting Ireland, especially as
Gladstone, who will probably be called to the
head of the new government, is favorable tc
their claims.

But when the public is deprived of the ad-

APRoPos of the scheme to establish ter
ritorial government in Alaska it has been
developed that the revenue derived from
that country during last year amounted to
the magnificent sum of So, 5S6. The cost
of collecting this sum amounted to $1O,912,
a balance of over eight thousand dollars.
If territorial government is established
there, the people of the rest of the coun-
try will have to be taxed to the extent of
about twenty thousand dollars year. 1t
looks, to man up tree, as if the govern.
ment could make money by trading Alaska

The minority of the House committee on
agriculture have presented their report in
Congress on the proposition to make the de-
partment of agriculture an executive depart

submitted by the committee is the decIara-
ton that the elevation of the bureau into a

hereafter, perhaps, of professional politicians
rather than to the interests of practical farm
ers. 1t is claimed, further, that there is no
warrant in the constitution for the proposed
legislation; that the government is not and
was not intended by its founders to be pa-
ternal government, and is not class govern
ment, and therefore no legislation should be
favored that has for its object the extension
of direct aid to one branch of industry where

IT is probable that the proposed treaty
with the Ute Indians will be ratified by the
Senate. And why should it not be? By its
terms the government becomes possessed OF
over two million acres of valuable agricul-
turaI and mineral lands, and gives in ex-
change therefor simply homestead for each
head of family. The arrangement is a
very profitable one for the government, but
not very beneficial for the Indians.
