scheme to take money gu,

Another scheme to take money out
of the public treasury has been put
in motion, this time by the introduce
ton in the Senate of a bill providing
for the retirement of any person who
has been employed fifty years and
upwards in the service of either
House of Congress on t~hree-fourths
of his salary. This is n way of re-
lieving the treasury of the large sur
plus now on hand, and such lccf
games will be in order during tle
present session of Congress. One
would think from this proposition
that men willing 10 be employed in
the service of either House of Con.
gress wer exceedingly scarce, and
that a premium in addition to the
regular salary had to be offered in
order to induce them to accept such
service. The amount paid for pen
siors by the government is already
too large, and with a civil pension
list the sum paid out annually in thi'
way would in a few years Ge doubled
1t would be more in keeping with tn
general desire of the people if Con
would adopt measures looking to
reduction instead of an increase o
the annual expenses of the govern
ment.

The removal of Garfield, as Gui-
teau puts it, has resulted in an un-
expected benefit to the country, if
not the Stalwart machine, in remit
ting Blaine to private life and restor-
ing the State Department to cooler
heads. From present developments,
Blaine would have certainly involved
the Garfield administration in such
complications that wars would have
been inevitable or if prevented only
by cringing and humiliating apollo
gies. Thus the lottery of assassina-
ton has furnished prizes all around,
but especially to the Grant dynasty,
which was placed exactly on top by
the death of Garfield. ''.'

II is now almost two wears since

1t is o almost two years since
the attention of the country was
drawn to the case of Cadet Whitta-
ker. Proceedings in regard to it have
advanced to a point at which the
Judge-Advocate General has decided
that the court-martial which tried
Whitaker was illegally constituted.
The record was some time ago trans
mitted to the Secretary of War, and
the latest report is that he has not
yet found time to lay it before the
President. At this rate of progress,
is there not danger that before the
lease is finally determined it may be
still further complicated by a claim
from Whitaker that he is arrived a
