The Exquisite Pleasure Afforded by
Family Re-uniOnS,

In this broad land teeming with a
wealth of natural resources and advan-
tageS, there is a lamentable tendency
for families to become widely separated
as its members arrive at maturity. 1t
frequently occurs that mother must
travel thousand miles or more in Or
der to visit her several children and
their families The exquisite pleasure
afforded by family reunion is, alas!
too seldom enjoyed. Not always is it
convenient for sons and daughters to
leave their homes and little ones to
gather around the old hearthstone.
Would that the custom could more fire.

Notes and Comments.

SENATOR HAwLEY's resolution in
reference to the controversy between
General Sherman and Jefferson Davis
passed the Senate with only ten dis
senting votes, and these were all dem
ocratic. The senate regained its COM
posture, and the matter was discussed
with moderation aud decorum.
SECRETARY MCCULLocH now re-
commends that the bonded period for
distilled spirits be indefinitely extended,
so that no tax need be paid till the
liquor is withdrawn for sale or export.
The secretary's mischievous assistance
to the distillers and whiskey owners
may enable them to evade the tax in
definitely or until relieved permanently
by act of congress.
Boston HERALD: "The bill ought
to pass both houses without word of
objection. Gen. Grants services to the
Union were simply inestimable. He
left life position at the head of the
army to accept the presidency against
his inclinations. Private individuals
have, since that time, given him tokens
of their gratitude and admiration, but
the nation has done nothing. The least
it can now do, in honor, is to place him
upon the retired list of the army that he
led to victory upon so many and such
important occasions"
Boston ADVERTISER: "When the
victories of the greatest of American
soldiers are recounted by the historian,
he will mention as the most brilliant
and exemplary of them all, not the
capitulation of Fort Donelson, or the
capture of Vicksburg, or the bloody pro-
gress to Richmond, or the magnanimity
of Appomattox, but the triumph by
which, in the days of sickness and hui
initiation, he puts away the temptation
of proffered charity and determines to
to be as poor as in the days before his
glory, rather than be under obligation
to friends for the means of living in
luxury"

General Grant.

1t has been generally understood that
the president would veto Senator Ed
munds' bill to appoint General Grant to
the retired list for the reasons given in
the case of Fitz John Porter. Mr.. Ed
munds' bill passed the senate at the
last session and now awaits the action
of the house. To meet the objections
of the president the senator has intro
duced another bill authorizing him to
designate one person among those who
had been generals commanding the
armies of the United States, or gener-
als-in-chief of the army, and appoint
him to the retired list. The object of
the bill is to enable the president, who
ardently sympathizes with its purpose,
to select General Grant for this honor.
The bill was promptly passed by the
senate. Nine senators only voted in

A HEARING was recently had at AL
bany before the New York railway COM
mission on the complaint of merchants
of New York city that freight was di-
verified from selected routes, causing
greatloss by reason of delays. Chauncey
M. Depew, in presenting the case for
the railways, in the course of his re-
marks, testified to the efficiency of a
commission as compared with rigid en-
actments for the regulation of railway
traffic. Of the question under consid-
Grafton he said: "This is an Interstate
question, and any action of the COM
mission can only affect the New York
Central. What is needed is the APP
pointment of a national commission
having powers similar to those of the
New York and Massachusetts boards.
If the idiots at Washington would es-
tablish such a board much could be
done to rectify whatever grievances ex-
list and which are conceded. AS to the
point that the commission would have
no power, that is absurd. The will of
the people would be voiced by this COM
mission, and against this no one of, nor
all, the railroads, could prevail" "The
Reagan BILL" he declared, "did not
come within four hundred thousand
miles of the present case" Mr.. Depew
is the attorney of the New York Cen
trail railway. That corporation does
not seem to have the opinion of the
New York and Massachusetts commits
sions, and of commissions in general,
that the Vermont railway attorneys and
managers-inside or outside the men,
bership of the legislature-expressed at
the late session. Subserviency and ca
pacity for trimming, supported by weak
logic and wretched sophistries, distin-
guished some senators in their consid-
Grafton of the Holton bill. This sub
ject of the regulation of railway traffic
will be an issue in the next state can
vass, and we shall not be surprised
to find the railways changing their atti-
tude and working for the passage of
Just and reasonable commission bill.
If, however, they stand in 1886 where
they stood in 1884 with reference to
this measure, unless they shall have
packed the senate, we shall expect to
see their objections, so far as they are
unreasonable, disregarded and their
opposition overborne.

ing years. Mortuary honor and graft
tude are a dismal recompense for these.
Let General Grant spend the remainder
of his days in the warm after-glow of a
nations love. Let this congress speed
lily make it sure that he shall enjoy
again before he dies at least his old
rank and its privileges. 1t is the slight
est expression that body can make of
the gratitude of the republic for the i'm
measurable services of the great COM
mander of its armies.

Two great failures have occurred
during the past week-a banking house
and an iron firm. Thursday afternoon
John j. Cisco & Son of New York,
bankers, suspended, having S3,500,000
liabilities, of which S2,000,000 are due
depositors. The value of the assets is
unknown. The immediate cause of
the failure is said to have been the
peremptory demand of Mrs. E. II.
Green, who was a depositor to the ex-
tent of 81 100000, that large sum
should be transferred to a bank which
she named. On the same afternoon,
the iron firm of Oliver Brothers e
Phillips, Pittsburgh, suspended pay
ment. Their liabilities are reported
at about $5,OO0,O00. One of the con-
tributory causes of the suspension was
the heavy loss suffered by the firm in a
contract for pipe which was made with
a mining company in California. The
pipe was made and shipped to Califor-
mia, where it was all condemned. Dull
times, an immense payroll and other
necessary expenses have also had their
influence. Some other firms, in which
members of the suspended company are
principals, have also suspended. Mr..
Oliver was member of the tariff COM
mission, and is noted in the iron trade
for his energy and ability. He says
the firm has ample assets to pay every
dollar it owes. 1t is the general i'm
preston that an extension will be asked
for and granted, and the firm will re-
sumo business.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 81, 1885.
THE dodge the democrats will under

THE dodge the democrats will under
take with reference to the retirement
of General Grant, it is now reported,
will be to pass the first Edmunds bill
which specially names General Grant
as the beneficiary of the appointment.
The president vetoed the Fitz John
Porter bill because, he maintained, the
creation of an office to be filed by ex-
ecutive appointment and designating
the person whom the president should
appoint, was an encroachment upon
the rights of the executive. For SINH
lar reasons, it is believed, he would be
compelled to veto the first Edmunds
bill, or recede from the position he
took with reference to Fitz John Por-
ter. In view, particularly, of General
Grants manly and generous efforts in
behalf of Porter, such course would
be the very refinement of meanness.
