Questions Answered.

G.. w. X, Waterbury pensions
have been granted and paid under the pres
ent democratic administration than under
any prior administration in the same length
of time.
I. s. W., st. Johnsbury.-If in your APP
plication for an increase the examining sur
geons recommended you for a higher rate of
pension and the commissioner of pensions
rejected your claim, you ought to appeal to
the secretary of the interior.
j. L. H., Wardsboro.-A step-mother of q
soldier is not entitled to pension under the
general law. But if you became the step
mother of the soldier when he was an infant
and cared for him like mother, and after
ward became dependent, in whole or in
part upon him, congress would give you a
pension by special act.
w. c., Barre.--Hon. Hugh Henry of Chess
ter would make an excellent president of
the trustees of the Soldiers Home. The
success of the enterprise will depend greatly
upon the selection of the president of the
board of trustees. The other party named
for that Office is a man of ability, is friendly
to the soldiers, and was an officer in the
army, but his time is too much occupied with
other matters for him to be likely to give his
attention to the work required to make the
Soldiers Home in Vermont a success. You
might name many more of the trustees who
would make good presidents of that board.

Defense of the Dominion Government in
the Riel Case.
MONTREAL, December 2d-The defense
of the Dominion Government on the exc
cution OF Riel is published. The docu-
ment, which covers FIVE columns, is in the
shape of report to the Privy Council by
the Minister of Justice, Sir Alexander
Campbell, and reviews the whole subject in
an exhaustive manner, declaring that, ac-
cording TO the authorities of the Roman
Catholic Church in the Northwest Riel was
not entitled to any mercy, his motives
being purely mercenary, he being willing
at any time to sell out the Metis for few
thousand dollars. The document says the
question as to his sanity is satisfactorily
settled. The report denounces Riel for
having raised the Indian tribes of the
Northwest, and for having been the direct
cause of the frightful massacre of large
