MATTERS AND THINGS,

1t appears that the actual amount paid for
pensions on account of the late war to March
/, 1882, is $500, 7s1 $50. 1t is estimated
that there are wv on the pension roll the
names OF $50, 900 pensioners of the late war
This does not include 80, 900 (estimated) SER
vice pensions on account OF the war of 1872
Estimating the disbursements for May and
June, the total paid for pensions during the
current fiscal year will not vary much from
S65, 900, 600. On April /, 1882, there were on
file 2l7, l62 pending claims, which, if allowed.
would be entitled TO arrears estimated at
S2l4, 900, 800. There are SO, ITO pending
claims which were filed subsequent to the
Limitation imposed by the Arrears act. If
the two classes just referred to should be at
once added to the roll, ii would increase the
annual value of pensions S24, 500, 900, which,
added to the present annual value, would
make S54 100000
Some interesting statements about the
profit or, rather, absence Of profit, in the in
surancc business have been published. 1t up
pears that in the experience of the twenty
two largest foreign companies which do bus
mess in the United States, covering an ag-
gregate period of 1877 years, for every 800
received in premium SOL has been paid In
losses, and $50 for expenses, leaving the
average profit only 9per cent 1t has been
found moreover, that underwriting in twep-
ty-two States. through periods equal to 226
years, excluding the Chicago and Boston
fires, has returned only lSs per cent profit on
premiums amounting to S64l 900, 900. This
being the record of strong companies it is not
remarkable that defunct insurance compan-
les are us plenty as dead leaves in autumn,
or that concerns more or less crooked abound
where they arc not vigorously crushed out.
The close competition in the business is indi-
Gated by tine high ratio Of expenses.

MEASURES.

An honest man is the nobest work of God
and an honest measure is the noblest work OF
man. The productions of human genius are
the fruit of mental excellence but the stan
dards of practical measurement prepared and
regulated by man are the product of moral
as well as intellectual excellence. A poem
or statue is Il rare and a fine thing, doubt
less, but grocer's strawberry basket that
holds quart IS q rarer and a finer thing. 1t
involves a moral qualification which the
poem or the statue does not, and by just so
much As a mans conscience is nobler than his
science, his mere knowing, so much nobler
and more commendable is u quart of straw
berries for quart than twelve lines of poetry
for quatrain. Where the excess lies, to be
sure, the need does not often abound; but
for that very reason it is more signally ex-
cellent thing to be honest in much than dis
honest in little.
Of all kinds aud degrees of measures, the
most practical and the easiest to regulate and
adhere to, are the most abused. 1t would
seem that if any man in the world ought TO
know the length and the depth, the breadth
and the height, of quart or peck measure,
that man is the affable grocer. And indeed

muster rolls of the army aud they will re
bukc, ns they did in the State convention,
anything that looks like want of appreciation
of the services OF any man who was both a
good citizen and gallant soldier. If ex-
soldiers come to the front in civil life, it is
because they possess the qualities which
sent them to the front in the crisis of the
country's life. As the Rutland HeroM aptly
says:
No "soldier ring" is needed to explain the
natural processes of social and political life
There is no new thing taking place men
have grown old that were active civic leaders
twenty years ago, and the generation of 1861
that went to war; is natural heir to the polit-
cal and social activities of their time. The
men most active and adventurous in the war
days are naturally, if fairly intelligent, leaders
in practical affairs today; the fact carries
with 1t its own explanation toany man who can
think, without ascribing it to the skilful man
ipulation OF the sentimentalism of the time.
This is absurd the war is too far gone for
that. The soldiers when disbandcd
sank into the ranks of peace as silently as
Spring snowflakes sink in smiling lakes"
and they assume to-day no public RESPONSE
bilities to which they are not fairly entitled
by their rank as citizens without reference at
all to their fame as soldiers. We can not
argue that soldiership twenty years old is of
itself qualification for the most responsible
duties OF peace, but we certainly can not
plead that it is an absolute disability for pub.
lie office, since that construction hardly
places patriotism at premium.

A recent publication of the Internal Revc-
nue. Department gives some interesting sta
tstics In regard TO liquor saloons, based upon
government licenses issued. 1t appears that
in proportion to population, the territories of
Arizona and Montana have the largest num-
Der of retail Saloons each having one for
every 81 inhabitants. Nevada comes next
with one for every G5 inhabitants and Color
ado and Idaho follow, with one for every 70.
Wyoming territory has one for every 80 New
Mexico has one for every %, and California
one for every 90. New York, New Jersey and
Oregon have each one saloon to few less
than 200 inhabitants. The least number of
saloons are found in South Carolina where
there is one to every 0lO inhabitants Kan
sas, with one to S97 West Virginia, with
one to S11; Vermont, with one to Sl2
Maine with one to 701; North Carolina,
with one to 10S; Virginia, with one to 1913

Capt. Belknap Of the navy has made an
official report concerning the progress made
on the Panama Canal that is not encouraging.
He has traverscd the whole length of the
canal, and finds that while those best in
formed profess faith in the ultimate success
Of the canal, they have but little faith that
it will ever be finished by the French CON-
pany at present working. 1t seems that
good deal of money has thus far been fool
ishly spent, and that great waste is at present
going on Capt. Belknap says, for example,
that $500, 900 had been paid for the Grand
Hotel at Panama, and that $4,000 more
had been expended in fitting ii up for offices /;
that 200 officials, draughtsmen, clerks and
the like were employed in the building and
still more room was wanted that $500, 900
had been expended on the hospital grounds
and buildings at Ancoss HILL and that it
would require 100000 more to complete
them that a similar extravagant expendi-
ture had been made on the other side, and
yet at no point on the lsthmus had the COM
pany cot or bed OF its own in which to put
a single sick man. The estimates of Nj.
de Lesseps are regarded as far below the ac-
tual cost, as it is now thought that not less
than $500, 5000 will be required for the
completion of the work. Capt Beknap is
of the opinion that the results will hardly
come up to the expectations of confldng
European stockholders, who have been led to
see the work completed inside of ten years.

l.IIITEAIl.

The curtain has fallen ON the last net uf
the tragedy. Guitcau has passed 20 another
world where he can do less harm and will
perhaps experience greater charity. 1t is a
great relief to the world that the assassin no
longer culnbers it. His spiritual adviser pro-
tested, the other day, against the boodthirs-
ty, indicative, hendish spirit that seems to
have taken possession of so large portion of
the people Of the county" This view Of the
matter seems to us to cmbody grave mis-
understanding of the public sentiment. Tie
feeling of the public was not bloodthirsty nor
ish. The people were simply filed with hor
ror at the assassins crimc with loathing
and contempt for his depraved character /;
with an intense desire that a just punishment
offence against the laws of God and man. 1t
is not bloodthirstiness which demands the
punishment Of an assassin ii is not vindic-
tivcness which "shuts the gates of mercy"
to coldblooded murder. And to attribute
anything "fendish' to the people as a whole
is simply absurd. But in the feeling which
did animate the public we see nothing to
condemn.
AS TO the assassn's mental condition, there
can be no doubt as to his sanity. That
point was thoroughly canvassed and defn-
itely established at his trial-a trial which
ranks among the longest and most thorough
on record. The question of sanity was the
only question presented to the court and jury
| by the counsel for Guiteau, and this question
was fully presented to the court and ela3o-
rately discussed before the jury, the utmost
latitude having been allowed the prisoner and
his counsel. And after careful examination
| the murderer was pronounced legally iespon-
| siblc for his acts by many of the most dis
tinguished men in the medical profession
the vast preponderance of professional op:n.
| ion, indeed, being on that side. As to the
verdict Of the public, the Boston Tracelle,
well says: That the assassin OF President
Garfield has any claim to be spared because
of his being mad, not above one man in O
million believes. Guiteau is Il viction of his
enormous sclf-conceit, which led him to the
calm conclusion that he should do his duty
were he to Stay the President of the United
States for the reason that he (Guiteau) could
not persuade the President to do certain
thugs that he thought should be DONE
Never did criminal swing from the gul
lows with juster cause, and seldom with les
ser provocation for his crime. He went to
| his doom amid the execrations of the whole
| Nation, so wanton was his crime, so despica-
bic was his chararter. The world breathes
freer without HIM. To lesser criminals the
world gives the boon of forgctfulncss, and in
her kindly bosom Mother Earth screens both
murdered and murderer and both pass for
ever from memory But for Guiteau there
is an Immortality OF contempt, of loathing,
of eXecration and to this we of the present
generation, TO whose ears the very name Of
Guiteau has become odious may safely leave
him.

The credit Of the Government must be re-
markably good when it can float its bonds at
two per cent per annum-a rate of interest
unprecedentedly low. And yet that is an ex-
pertinent which may be tried very soon. The
Committee on Ways and Means have instruct
ed their chairman, Judge Kelley, to prepare
for consideration of the committee joint re-
solution to provide for the issue of two hun
dred million dollars in bonds, bearing inter-
est at the rate named, such bonds to be ex-
changed for like amount of extended five
per cent bonds. This action was taken in
consequence of representations made to the
committee, to the effect that bankers and
other responsible parties are prepared to take
two per cent bonds running for period of
one year. and redeemable at the option OF
the Government at the expiration of that
period, provided the lower rate bonds shall
not be called for until the extended SIX and
five per cent bonds are called for redemp-
ton. The Secretary Of the Treasury is
understood to approve the proposition.
Judge Kelley thinks from the assur-
ance Of bankers that the whole sum would
be taken in thirty days after the passage Of
the bill.

SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS.

Mr.. Hoskisson of Mount Holly, the gen.
tleman who appeared on the platform Of the
State Convention with such small credit to
himself and such considerable damage to his
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, has made
in the Rutland Herald n statement in at
tempted justification of his position lie
says that "the State Convention was made
up and controlled by u society of soldiers"
who would consider the qualifications of no
man, however eminent, that was not SOL
der that "the citizens of the State of Yer
mont will not submit to military dictation in
time of peace that military dictation
ha. 'created military despoiism, created
class privileges, that would create anarchy
and end in despotism and destruction of our
United Republic and that he did not be-
little the services Of our soldiers but only
claimed that many men who stad at home
contributed largely to the success of our ar
mics in ending the rebellion.
This last point is well enough taken. The
others only show that Mr.. Hoskisson is us
ready to make fool of himself in print as
he was in speech. To say that the State
Convention was controlled by any organiza-
ton of soldiers, is ridiculously false. To as
scrt that there is any approach to military
dictaton in our State politics is to maintain
simple absurdity. The soldiers In the
Convention were divided between the two
candidates. General Hooker the late State
commander of the Grand Army of the Re-
pnblic, was the manager of the canvass for
Mr.. Fuller and one of his stoutest supporters
on the floor of the convention. Col. Has
kins, who so handsomely presented Mr.. Full
ler's name, is an ex-soldier and member of
the Grand Army. A number of leading vet
Grams among the delegates were on the same
side. Col. Pingree's trends went into the
convention without organization and with
the slightest possible previous consultation.
Some of them had heard and seen some things
Ia the prolonged canvass for Mr.. Fuller, which
they did not like, and they went into the
convention simply proposing to see if its chief
hoDors could not be distributed to men who
were not only fit for them but had not sought
them. Their candidates. Gen. Barstow and
Col Ping are men who were never heard
to mention their military service in any
connection with any thought of re-
ward in the way of public office, oil
in any way save consciousness o
duty done. Their military service wa!
not the ground on which they were present
ed in the convention. They were presented
as good citizens, and as having proved it, n.
Mr.. Bigelow well said, when patriotic sol
diership was part of good citizenship
No man claimed all the patriotism for tn
ex-solders, or thought Of denying that there
were men who rendered great and good ser
vice to the National cause without taking VI
arms and facing violent death in Its behalf
There were many such throughout the COM
munity; and as rule they are men in who's
hands the reputation and interests
of the veterans of the war, are Away
safe. We have heard many of then
say that they would give anything if thei
children could point TO their names In tn

The House has passed the Kelley bill, to
reduce internal revenue taxes. by vote of
1877 TO SO-eleven Republicans voting against
it, and about twenty Democrats in its favor
The BILL as passed, provides for an aggre-
gate reduction of about S27, 100000. BY the
first section, the stamp tax on bank checks
drafts, orders and vouchers, the tax on the
capital and deposits of banks and bankers
under section 3iOS of the Revised Statutes Of
the United States, the tax on the capital and
deposits OF National banks, under section
52l4 Of the Revised Statutes, not including
the tax for the six months ending June 80.
the tax on matches, perfumery, medicinal
preparations, etc, are repealed. The second
and third sections provide for reduction on
tobacco and cigar taxes and on the tax on
dealers in these articles On cigars of all de-
scriptions the tax is reduced to "a per thou
sand on cigarettes not weighing more Than
three pounds per thousand, "a. This reduc-
tion does not take place till Muy /, 1888.

flying to learn that the Grocers' Protective

recently prepared petition urging general

many quarts of berries or so many eggs to
SO many quarts of milk, done away, and

tablished, Then, too, when we go to buy

our eggs by number. our sugar by weight
our molasses by the quart or gallon, and our
preserves by the can 1t is only needless
complication and confusion of affairs. Buy
them all by the same standard, of weight
and this pcrplexed question of measures will
find satisfactory solution. 1t is to be hoped

fences which we enjoy will be added new

The Mormons appear to be constantly
growing in numbers and power, despite the
progress Of the railroads, the encroachments
of Gentle immigration, the condemnation
of the public sentiment of the country and
the other influences which we have been told
would lead TO their extinction. The great
bulk..of their recruits come, as is well known,
from abroad and are largely made up of
the most degraded classes of the Old World.
On Saturday nine hundred and twenty
seven Mormon immigrants landed at New
fork-620 Swedes and Norwcgians, and 101
from Great Britain and it is announced
that ship load has come every month this
year, and will SO arrive during the rest

came thrtyfour missionaries who have
been working abroad for two wears and
whose place will now be taken by others.
