processes to believe that the "Comstock

literature, should be repealed because it is
not the intention of the constitution to pro-
vide for the enforcement of morality by the

merely subterfuge. Congressman Cum

Tho failure of tine weather bureau at
week which caused 50 many fearful disasters
on the coast has called forth severe criticism.
Many people apparently will be sat
isiied with nothing loss than a com
plete wpiug out of the whole system
But granting that the predictions of the
bureau are not as reliable as they used to be
and might be it does not follow it would be
wise to abolish the signal bureau There is
such thing as the science of nctcorologv,
imperfccty developnl though it he, as the
previous work of the signal office has de
monstratcd What seems to he needed is a
thorough reorganization At present the
absurd requirement that observers shall
first enlist in the army as common soldiers
keeps out of the service the scientific men
who might make it u success. The
removal of this bar might tend to bring
about another desirable change, viz.
an increase in the number of observing
stations How would it work if the weather
bureau were transferred from the war de
partment, where it has no proper place. to
the agricultural department, the most ex-
pert meteoroogists obtaiuable placed at its
head, and the subordinate positions filled
with mon who know as much about weather
as the average New England farmer
The result would probably be a much more
efficient service. Such change certainly
could not make it any less reliable than it is
at present.

one or two Vermont papers say that the
Legislature appropriated 500, 900 for the
erection of a new insane asylum to be 10
Gated at Rutland. There is no foundation
for the latter assertion. The Legislature
appointed board of special commissioners,
and placed the sum named at their disposal
for the care of the pauper and criminal in
sane Of our State, with authority to estab-
lsh new State asylum, if in
their discretion they deem it to be
wise, but no location for such an asylum
was fixed in the bill nor indicated in the
discussion The bill, in fact, aroused little
discussion and was finally passed in the
House without opposition, though with less
than a score of votes in its favor.
That something must be soon done for in
creased accommodation for the insane pau
pers was plain. The asylum at Brattleboro
which it is to be remembered is a private
institution, not under the control of the
State, has of late been overcrowded. 1t
has been enlarged from time to time till it
has capacity To properly accommodate 400
patients. For the past two years, the aver
age number of its patients has been 46l. Its
officers do not think it wise to further en-
large its buildings. In former years they
have opposed the creation of a separate State
asylum. Now they favor the establishments of
suchan asylum. They say in their last report
AT the rate of increase [of the number of
insane pauperS and criminalsl which has
been going ON, before the expiration of an
other biennial period some process of cxcu-
sion may be forced upon us. We urge upon
the Legislature the consideration of this
question
Some legislation like that enacted was
thus n necessity. Under the bill the COVER
nor and commissioners have large discretion
AIRY powers. Among these will be the locat
ing of the new asylum and various places.
Burlington among the number, will no doubt
be duly considered by them before coming to
IA final decision.

There is at least one branch OF the govern
mcnt service which is of necessity kept aloOf
from politics. 1t is the lfe-saving service
The report Of the general superintendent Of
the service has just been issued, There were
222 stations in commission at the close of
The last fiscal year, and the figures furnished
from these stations are interesting. There
were jll disasters reported the value of
the property involved being 50, 1j3, 220. OF
th, amount Si,96G $50 was saved OF
$3.50 persons involved in the wrecks only I I
were lost The expense of maintaining the
servic, during the year was S92S, 213 U3.
The good work of the service did not end
with help in time of disaster, but in many
instances vessels running into dangerous sit
uations were warned off by the signals of
the patrols, and saved from partial or total
loss.
Since the introduction of the present sys-
tom in 1871 to the close of the present fiscal
year property to the amount of 500 291, co.
out of so, BOZ. 800 involved has been saved,
and only 16l lives lost out of 80 ipersons
involved The storm on the coast last
Sunday and Monday afforded further OPP
portunity for heroic work on the part of the
service and the telegraph has already told
lNw nobly the summons was answered.

The Annual Report Of the Interior
Department.

Three subjects treated by Mr. Villas
in his annual report as secretary of the in
terror, are of general interest In the public
land Office an extraordinary amount of bust
ness was transacted. Besides the public
land patented for mining and railroad pur-
poses. etc, patents were issued during the
year for an agricultural area estimated to eX-
coed I. 900, 600 acres-an increase of 3, 600
coo acres over the year preceding. During
the last eight years l42, 115, PAS acres have
been sold. This is a territory as large as
Germany or France. twice as large as Great
Britain and Ireland, and equal in extent to
the New England and middle States.
In respect to Indian affairs Mr.. Villas
says that although progress i,
not rapid, still the transformation OF
the Indian character and habits is steadily
progressing. He makes plea for a more
comprehensive system Of Indian schools, and
expresses the conviction that ''the capacity
of the Indian for civilized education is little,
if any, behind that of many people whom
our institutions do not reject and perhap,
in advance of some of them and the
promise for the production OF useful and
trusty manhood as the fruit of such educa-
ton is correspondingly satisfactorily He
thinks that the government should provide
instruction for all Indians of tcachable age,
and estimates their number at 10000 At
present there are 600 Indian pupils III
schools provided for or aided by the govern
ment, and the average cost per pupil i,
SOP, which would make the annual cost
of instructng all the Indians about
-, 600, 900 per year More than half of all
these pupils, however, are in boarding
schools, where they have to he maintained
as well as taught The average cost per
pupil in the day schools is a little over S2C
per annum. The Indians have the advan-
tage of industrial training, for which five
government schools are maintained, with an
average attendance Of 1888 pupils, and in
addition, AS pupils are sent to the Normal
training school, at Hampton, and the Lin
coin institute. The disbursements of the
pension bureau were larger than ever the
amount paid ont during the year amounting
to SIS, 10, S6l .92, which, when added To the
cost of conducting the business Of the pen
sion bureau, makes IA total of $50 OBS, $50 &c
or about one third of the total expenditure,
of the government. Our nation is certainly
not an mgrateful one.

Mr.. Cleveland swan-song will bc read
with especial anxiety. The president, as
well as the people generally, is down on the
trusts but these will be less dangerous
when the republican party, with its rccog-
nizcd opposition to trusts and monopolies
regains control and takes them in hand
He is still alarmed about the sur
plus. He has not altered his views upon
that protection benefits only the few, while
it lays unnecessary burdens on the "toiling
masses. > The experience of the past year
has evidently given Mr.. Cleveland no new
light ON this subject. To many of his pro
positions with reference to these economic
subjects no exception can be taken. Some
of them are self-evident plattudcs; others
show the obstinate unwllingness of Mr..
Cleveland to modify views which he has
once expressed. His opinions, however, are
now Of less consequence than they would be
if he We're to remain many months longer at
Washington. If his friends will Join the re-
publicans in the House in passing the Senate
tariff bill which will soon be sent to
them, the surplus will soon cease to
trouble anybody; the revenue will he re
duced and the tariff will be revised in the
interests of industry and of the toiling
masses
Mr.. Cleveland has nothing new to offer
in regard to the fisheries dispute. His
allusion to the Sackville-West episode shows
indications of the irritation which the
British minister's disclosure of his opinion
that the presidents retaliation message wa,s
simply campaign document not unnatur-
ally aroused. The other passages of the
message contain little of especial interest,
and our dispatches indicate that it created
no especial sensation in Washington.
