The Pension List.

Commissioner Dudley's annual report has
he makes of the growth of the pension
rolls is not entirely comforting to those who
desire an honest and fair administration of
government in all its departments, the en-
actment of laws which are wise and just as
well as the administration of the government
under those laws. The abuses which all
good citizens deplore in pension matters,
and which are made more and more appar-
emit by each successive report of the pen
sions commissioner, lie at the door of con-
gress, and moreover democratic congress.
Republicans, it is not claimed, were entirely
guiltless in fastening this burden upon the
country. 1t will be quite as sslutary for
true reform if men will lay aside partisan
ship in considering this as well as some
other measures which ale not fragrant with
entire self-abnegation on the part of men of
either political party The pension bill or
the river and harbor bill could never have
become laws but for the joint participation
of men of both parties. One demoralizing
feature Of our politics is the effort which
partisans make through the press and on
the stump to shoulder off upon the enemy
sole responsibility for ill-advised or cor
rupt measures in the enactment of which
men of both parties jointly participated, and
in the benefits of which, such as they are,
they jointly share. We believe this is Pc
culiarly the habit of democrats, and that,
while many republicans are not sinless in
this respect, it cannot be said TO be the char
acteristic of the republican press or of the
party in or out OF congress. The democracy,
for instance, hold the party in power solely
responsible for the arrears of pension act and
for the river and harbor bill passed last sum
mer. Nothing could be more untrue, and
candid democrats, as individuals, will not
maintain falsehood which finds its way
through all the party platforms, the press
and the speeches of their orators. Repub-
licans have generally dealt summarily with
the men Of their party who have been un.
faithful to their pledges and to the prinoi-
pies of the party. If there was less parti-

A Costly system.

Under this title the Windsor journal re-
views the non-representative character of
the lower house of the legislature, and COM
pares its numerous and unwieldly member
ship with the smaller house of representa-.
tives of New York, which with its five
million population has a house of only one
hundred twenty-eight members, with Ohios
three millions and house of one hundred
five, and other representative states with
large populations having house of repre-
sentatives from one-half to one-third the
size of the Vermont house. The Journal
arg ues against the town system of represen-
tation, Directing to it on the score of its rad
cal inequality and injustice, its expensive
ness and the inefiicienoy of a body 80 large
and carelessly chosen. The Journals posi-
ton is entirely correct, but it is two years
too 4" late for the fair" and rather early for
the next. All the arguments it has cited
in favor of district representation were gone
over with two years ago when the Henry
constitutional amendment 10 make the mem
bership of the house one hundred fifty was
before the legislature. The WATcHMAN
& JOURNAL favored a reduction of the house
to one hundred members, and showed
how with that number more equal repre-
sentation according to population could be
obtained by combining towns in the forma.
tion of districts than with the number pro
posed by Mr.. Henry. The fate of the pro-
posed amendment is prophetic of the recep-
ton any similar proposition is likely to meet
at the hands of the representatives of the
small towns who hold the power and have
no idea Of surrendering the inalienable

The Issue In Indiana.

In view of the fact that at the state and
national elections in 1880, Indiana, for the
first time in many ears, elected the repub-
publican ticket, and n view of the recent
result of the Ohio election, the liquor ques-
ton being uppermost in Indiana also, the
approaching election in the Hoosier state
will be regarded with extraordinary interest.
The republican plurality two years ago on
total vote of little over 100000 was a trile
less than 1000, and the total vote at each
election, state and national, varied by less
than 1000 votes. At that time the repub-
licans were not only well united, but were
holding their forces well in hand. con.
stitutional amendment prohibiting the sale
of liquor is pending. On the submission OF
the question of the adoption of this
amendment to vote of the people, repub-
legislature is republican. 1t has passed, on
the petition of large number of citizens, a
bill submitting the question of prohibition
to vote of the people at a special election
Ill lpOO' hC uCHuOSldto arc ldDOlluB W Sc
cure the legislature, rescind this vote and
thus throw the vote on the prohibitory
amendment over to 1884, when the liquor
question would necessarily be mixed up
with presidential politics. There are no in
ternal feuds in the republican ranks, such
as made havoc in Ohio. The contest is
squarely between republicans favoring the
submission of the amendment on the one
hand, and democrats opposing it, Oh the
other. An exchange thus describes the
manner of holding meetings during this pc
culiar campaign; "The republicans are
making an odd canvass by the expedient OF
large tents, in which the meetings are held,
and which are carried from place to place
All classes, men and women, take part. The
opponents of prohibition have chance to
address the tent audiences. 1t is free par
Lament, and queer medley of temperance
and anti-temperance talk is heard. But the
crowds hear much sensible argument, and
the amendment project is helped. At the
close of each meeting collection is asked,
and in this primitive fashion the expenses
of the canvass are paid in part. The tents
are described as large enough for a high
class circus, and the throngs are as great as
though truly moral show were on exhibit
ton. The unconstraint of this method
might not please eastern people, but it does
the work in Indiana"

The New York CamnaIgn.

In a letter read at republican mass meet
ing in Albany, Secretary Folger says of
Mr.. Cleveland, the democratic candidate for
governor As man in his private capac-
ity, he is as good as am; as apublic officer
he has acted conscientiously but he is a
democrat, am republican. He is guided
by the traditions of the democratic party
as they have been handed down from the
year 1860. lie is bound to follow the prac-
tice of that party, to seek its aims, as they
have been sought and followed for the last
twenty years. 1t is coming to be fashion
to say that the issues of the past have been
determined, and that there is now no differ
ence between the republican and democratic
parties. 1t may be conceded that some
great issues have been settled never to be
raised again. Others, however, are lively
and have yet to be contested to a solution.
The state of the great markets of the
country shows the sentiment of the business
of the country as to political events. Take
an instance The Ohio election resulted in
a gain to the democratic party of several
and it is estimated from we'll
founded data that on the day following
there was a shrinkage of values of the great
properties of the country of over forty mil
lions of dollars. That shrinkage has been
going on since. Do the business interests
of the country look with dread to the re-
turn of the democratic party to control
of federal legislation Is it a well-founded
dread viii the election of the democratic
ticket in the state of New York increase
it and give it greater reason for existence
These are questions for hesitating republi-
cans to ponder Whatever causes, real or
fancied, there may be for fraternal animos.
ity and pickering, or for lukewarmness or
disgust, yet these are questions for repub-
licans to ponder, and to decide whether they
can in duty to their country so act as to
bring the political party of their attach
ment to defeat. Yours in the faith.

right Of coming to the capital biennially
for few weeks sojourn at the states ex-
pense. The Journal may at that time have
raised its voice in favor Of the principle Of
the Henry amendment, but we do not re-
member to have seen anything in that
paper favoring or advocating at that time
measure which, two years after the decen-
nial suing time has passed and the court is
dissolved, it calls up for re-argument.
We believed at the time and have not
changed our mind since, that the legislature
Of 1880 should have passed the Henry or a
similar amendment, as well as some others,
in order that they might come prominently
before the people for discussion. Their
way into the constitution is 80 strongly
barricaded that passing them through the
outer portal could be fraught with no
serious hazard Of a raid upon the main
citadel. Discussion before the people would
not harm worthy proposal of amendment,
while it would inevitably prove fatal to an
unwise proposal, and, perhaps, definitely
settle its fate. That provision of the const-
tuition which restricts the proposal of amend
ments to periods of ten years is both absurd
and an imputation upon the intelligence and
good sense of the state. If the people could
be entrusted with the framing and adopting
of constitution, they should, at any bien-
NAL term, have the privilege of proposing an
amendment thereto. To put the instrument
behind a chronometer lock, set for a ten
years run, is an implication that the people
are too tickle or Enthusiastically to be allowed
more frequent access TO it, and so, to
guard it from meddlesome hands, or TO pro-
tect it from burglary it is securely locked
up, away from friend or foe. The final
adoption of constitutional amendments is
not too closely hedged about, but the oppor-
tunity of proposal should come at more fire.
quent intervals than once in ten years. The
year 1894 will now be the earliest date at
which any amendment not proposed by the
last legislature can become a part of the
constitution. If the people cannot be en-.
trusted WIN Tree access 10 tne instrument,
they can hardly be claimed to be fit for a
republican form of government. 1t is not
probable that more amendments would be
proposed if the opportunity of proposal
came biennially, rather than decennially
Two years ago, the first recurrence of the
ten year period, twenty-one proposals Of
amendment were made by the senate to the
house, Of which six were adopted in concur
renee. So many proposals could not be,
and were not, considered, amid the pressure
of other legislative business, on their merits
Had these been proposed at biennial inter
walls from 1870 to 1880 the chance for dis
cussion would have been more favorable
and the decision more satisfactory. Neither
the United States, nor the states in the
Union distinguished for good government,
find it necessary to shut up their consttu
tions for long periods from meddling hands.
A revision of the Vermont constitution, in
this respect, it is believed can be safely and
profitably made.

The Cart Before the Horse.

The Caledonian thinks if applicants for
teachers positions understand that knowl-
edge of the effect Of alcohol on the brain and
human tissues is essential to obtain schools,
they will not be slow in the acquisition of
such knowledge. 1t is generally understood,
or should be, considering the length of time
the requirement has been on the statute
books, that a knowledge of the three RS y,
as the rudiments of an English education
are whimsically phrased, sis essential to OBJ
tain Schools" but the Caledonian admits, in
an article in favor of the town system, that
incompetent committeeman frequently
hire equally incompetent teachers" thus
multiplying the letter and the spirit Of the
law, which demands in teachers qualifica-
tions for instruction and capacity for the
government of schools. What ground is
there to believe that "teachers " whose
mental culture is SO deficient that they
themselves should be in a good district
school as pupils will be any more swift to
fit themselves for scientific temperance in
struction The effect of alcohol on the
brain and human tissues is a subject of

ted know anything, except in general way
and which fewer still are competent to teach

long way beyond elementary studies.
Furthermore $l.50 a week and aboard

agement that will induce the Investment of

acquisition of such knowledge" as will en-
able one to understand and be able TO ex.
plain scientifically to the young idea the eff.
fects of alcohol on the human system, or
that will secure the services of teacher so
qualified. Scientific temperance may be
taught in the high schools, academies and
colleges, but the little learning" which
the average district school marin or master
could distil on the subject might be as dan.
gerous as those "shallow draughts that
"intoxioate the brain" In this as in other
departments of knowledge, the teacher
should "drink deep or touch not the Pierian
spring" As the district schools of the state
are now conducted, the legislature might as
well enact that Sanskrit shall be taught
there. Scientific temperance instruction
would be as futile under all the circum.
stances as to place young man or woman,
ignorant of the first principles of mechan-
les, over lot of apprentices in watch.
making.
We are in favor of all the light that can
be diffused on the subject, the vital impor-
lance of which we do not underrate and
which we would by no means lightly treat,
but only when men gather grapes of thorns or
figs of thistles shall we look for any good 10
the temperance cause from the enactment of a
law requiring scientific temperance educa-
ton in the district schools as now managed
and as the laws against rum-seling are now
enforced. Bring the enforcement of the
school and the liquor laws up to the strict
letter aud spirit of their provisions, and
there may be sense and reason in this de
mand for scientific temperance education
