His Present Opinion.

Hon. Goldsmith w. Hewitt of Alabama, who
introduced into the present Congress bill to
repeal the Arrears of Pension law, in an inter
view with correspondent of the New York
Herald recently, said
"Arrearages of pensions are a mere gratuity,
and the law granting them can be at any time
altered or repealed altogether"
In the 45th Congress, I'd session, the same hon
orable gentleman made report NO 64) from the
Committee on Invalid Pensions, in which he
used the following language: The pensions of
soldiers disabled in the line of duty are in no
sense grdtuity, but are supported by contract
made by the Government with them at the date
of their enlistment, that if disabled they should
have pension"
Now, in our opinion, arrearages are simply a
part of the original pension due the soldier under
contract, and wrongfully withheld by the Gov
eminent. No other reasonable view of the mat
ter can be taken and sustained. Mr.. Hewitt's
desire to distinguish himself has evidently led
him astray.
We trust he will find himself in time to save
his reputation as lawyer and just-minded man.
which now depends upon his present construction
of Report No. Ga referred to above which is pub
lished in full in another column.

week. All the members of the commission were
present including w. w. Corcoran, Supervising
Architect Hill, Architect Clark, of the Capitol
extension, and General Wright, Chiefof Engineers,
United States Army. Mr.. Corcoran occupied the
chair. The annual report of Colonel T. l.. Casey,
United States Army, engineer in charge of the
work on the monument, showed that the monu-
had now reached the height of $50 feet above its
base; that during the year "A feet were added,
and involved the cutting and setting of 1,1o4
blocks of marble, containing 1924 cubic feet OF
material, and 134s1 blocks of granite, containing
44,349 cubic feet. The total height added tothe
structure since the 7th of August, 1880, when the
work of building commenced, is 100 feet
Since the completion of the foundation, on the
29th of May, 1880, the total weight added to the
load then upon it has been % 1858 tons. The COM
mission approve and recommend the estimate of
100000 for continuing the work on the mOnu-
ment for the year ending June 80, 1888 The at
tention of Congress is specially invited to the
necessity of granting this appropriation early in
the session, in order that the work may not suf-
fer delay covering three-quarters of the coming
season. That the monument may be finished as
soon as practicable there should be no Interrupt
tion in the progress of the construction.

A GREAT BELL,

great bell for st. Paul's Cathedral, in Lon
don, was recently cast in Leicestershire. 1t will
take it's place as one of the heaviest bells in Eu-
rope, being about III tons in weight. This mass
of metal, consisting of pure tin and copper, was
about 81 hours in course of melting and it was
four minutes in running into the mould. To
guard against accidents the cast-ron case for the
latter was made strong enough to bear pressure
of 200 tons. There was great anxiety when the
case was being taken to pieces, the clay mould
broken up, and the mighty bell bit by bit ex-
posed to view. The casting, however, appeared
to be smooth and delicate in surface and outline.
Its skin" as the outward covering is technically
called, showed no flaw of any kind whatever.
The bell is feet 10 inches high and feet g.
inches in diameter, while the thickness of the
middle of the SOUND bow is 81 inches. The cost,
when rugged in the tower, will bes, about e3,OOO
1t will be used for the first time next Easter
Sunday

AMERICAN MERCHANT VESSELS.

A casual glance at the shipping lists in the
New York papers shows the great preponderance
of foreign over American vessels; it is proved
indeed by statistics that only 19 per cent of the
foreign trade of the United States is carried in
American bottoms. Public writer's in this country
have such belief in the utter righteousness of
free trade that they attribute the startling de-
cline in the mercantile marine of our cousins to
their protectionist heresies We doubt this The
most f1ourishng part of the American merchant
navy is that which is engaged in the coasting
trade, and which is vigorously protected; and
this trade is of no small importance, seeing that
the trip around the Horn from the Atlantic to
the California ports is officially regarded as
"coasting" We rather incline to the belief that
the falling off in American vessels was greatly
due to the depredations of the confederate priva-
teers. Numbers of ships were then transferred
to foreign flags, and the trade has since followed
these flags. But there are deeper causes than
this. The Americans have gradually shifted
westward. They have become more inland
people The New Englanders, once among the
hardest and most skillful sailors in the world,
have either gone west or have taken to running
mills and factories, and the substitution of iron
for wood in shipbuilding has given "the pull"
to Old England, who used to import her wood,
but grows her own iron, and grows it better and
cheaper than any other country. The thorough
rehabilitation of the war navy, which President
Arthur recommends will be rendered a more
difficult task from the want of commercial
navy whence supply of bold and experienced
seamen can be drawn.-London Graphic.
