THE TEXTBOOK CONTRACT.

In our legislative reports yesterday
the GLOBE was led into the error of
stating that d. D. MERRILL's contract
for publishing textbooks had expired
last year, when, in fact, Mr.. MERRILL's
contract with the state was entered into
on the 14th day of March. 1877, and was
to continue for fifteen years. Thus it
will be seen that Mr.. MERRILL's con-
tract will not expire until March, 1882.
1t is not necessary in this connection to
repeat our views, so often expressed, rel
alive to this textbook contract. We
recognize the fact that the state has en-
tered into solemn compact with Mr..
MERRILL. and must live up to it, with
our regard to whether the state is a suf-
ferer or a beneficiary; and consequently
the legislature has no power to move in
the matter until the existing contract
has expired.

There have been several things since

hiDiting combinations to raise the price

THE PROTECTION CRAZE,

Where or when is this protection
business to end? At first it commenced
with the federal government under the
plea OF extending protection to strug
Cling industries, in creating monopolies
and terminating trusts through the
agency of an excessively high tariff.
Now it has extended to the states, and
every conceivable industry, no matter
how unimportant, is besieging the state
legislatures for laws shutting out all
competition. The bill introduced by
Representative VOLLMER the other day
in the Minnesota legislature, prohibit
ing the importation of brewed and malt
liquors into the state, is an Illustration
i'll point. By shutting out the Milwau-
kee and st. Louis beers. our local
brewers expect to have monopoly
of the beer market. just so with the
beef inspection bill, which gives our
local cattle dealers control of the beef
market. The farmers will possibly be
asking for a law to exclude the import
alton of cereals: the boot and shoe
manufacturers will want to shut out all
EaStern-made footwear; the tailors
may want to stop the ready-made cloth
ing business; and so on ad infinitum,
until every local industry will seek
protection by excluding outside COM
petition. This would be all right enough,
provided we never wanted to ship any
thing ourselves. But if one state begins
to hedge itself in with Chinese wall,
the others will adopt a retaliatory
policy and do the same thing. Thus, if
the present craze for protecting local
industries continues, interstate COM
merce will be eXtinguished. and each
states production will be limited by its
own capacity for consumption.

THERE may be philosophy that is
worth intoxicating in the theory that the
breakdown Of MARY ANDERSON in the
intensity of the professional strain is
aggravated, if not chiefly attributable,
to ceiibacy, and the repulsion of all
other rivalry to her affections. The
fact that theatrical lights have almost
invariably married may have more be-
hind it than the indictments common to
the sexes. The domestic relaxation
may be needful as foil to the profess
sional strain. There is no question IN
this case that celibacy is adhered to in
the face of many importunate protests.

Stamboul lately refused $4,000 for him.

These prices indicate the vitality and
scope of the interests that center upon

speed is being lowered and the posi-
bilities in horse muscle cannot be fore
seen. The rapid increase of men of
large means will foster the breeding of
animals for speed.

Questions Answered.

N. p. n, EAST MoNTPELIER.-You
will not be required to make any
further application to secure arrears of
pension, if the arrears bill is passed, on
the disability that you have applied for
since 1880.
w. S., NoRTHFIELD.-The increase
pensions granted last week were mostly
for claimants examined February ID
last. If you were not examined until
March it will be two or three weeks yet
before you will get decision.
T. E., WEST RANDoLPH.-The board
of surgeons is required to rate the pen
sion of applicants examined by them,
and to rate each disability separately.
So if only a part of the disabilities
claimed are established by the evidence
the commissioner of pensions can rate
the part established. The report of the
surgeons generally, but not always, con-
trolls the rating of the pension.
H. G., BURLINGToN.-An applica-
ton for an increase of pension may be
executed before justice of the peace
or notary public. If, however, it con-
tains disability not before alleged in
any application then it must be exc
cuted before an officer of a court of
record-like judge of probate or
county clerk-having seal, which must
be affixed to the officers certificate.

The Earth's Duration.

The present age of the earth has
been placed by Sir William Thomson at
100,000,000 years, while the specula-
tions of others have given much larger
figures. NJ. Adolphe d'Assier, who
believes such estimates to be greatly
exaggerated, considers the life of the
earth in three periods, which he terms
the igneous or nebulo-stellar stadium,
the stadium of solar illumination or of
organic life, and the stadium of dark
ness, cold and death. The first-which
began with the detachment of the ter
restrial nebula from the solar, and
ended in the formation of the crystal
line crust of the globe-he calculates
from physical laws to have been 500,-
900 years in duration. The second

VermOnt's Pension Business.

Vermont has six thousand pension
ers on its pension rolls" says the
Mortified NeDS, " and now the matter
of having its pension business done
within its own borders is being agitated.
1t is hardly the proper thing to be COM
PEELED to go to Concord, N. H., to at
tend to these matters" The complaint
to which the Ne,oS refers is hollow
hearted. 1t originates with the poll
ticians and not with the pensioners. A
large part of the payments, if the vouch-
ers are promptly executed when the
pension is due on the 4th of the
month, are made by the 7th of the
same month. But suppose there was
a weeks delay at each time of payment,
there would then be only three months
between payments. The politicians
were happy when Vermont had two
pension agencies, located within forty
miles of each other, and both in the
central part of the state. Each agent
received salary of "a 900 and fee of
twenty-five cents for each voucher
paid, and there are four vouchers a
year for each pensioner. Our pension
ers residing outside the towns where
the offices were located were paid no
more promptly then than they are now
paid from Concord. Senator Dawes
in 1877 made a fight for all pensions to
be paid from the city of Washington,
and compromise, resulting in the con-
solidation of agencies, had to be made
to prevent the success of his scheme.
The limited consolidation then made
saved the government 1885,, 900 year
in expenses. Why not accept Senator
Dawes plan and pay all pensions from
Washington? We should adopt the
more sensible way of employing no
more servants than are needed, and
paying them no more wages than their
services are worth. Every friend of

A French Artists Opinion.

Benjamin Constant, the eminent
French artist, who has spent few
months in America, writes to the Bos-
ton Transcript his opinion of the coun-
try. This is what he says of ladies and
of the houses; " 1t is hardly necessary,
l think, for me to say how greatly
was impressed with the ladies of Amer
lea, not only with their personal
charms-for of those had heard much
before leaving Europe and had also
seen something amongst my American
female pupils and the visitors to my
studio-but with their mental qualities
and accomplishments. With them
culture is, in many instances, carried
to the highest point. The husband
may be, and usually is, absorbed in his
business or his profession, but his wife,
in the midst of her household cares and
her social occupations, finds time for
collecting and approaching all that is
beautiful and noteworthy in art. The
American woman is, in many respects,
first cousin to the Parisienne. She has
the same power of quick assimilation of
new ideas and also the same taste in
dress. One point in American female
beauty that greatly struck me was the
fine mould and proportion of the ladies'
arms. Superb in form and faultless in
coloring, they are worthy of immortal
ization in the marble that they SO much
resemble. Another detail that greatly
pleased me was the elegance and ar
tistic style of furnishing to be found,
not only in the mansions of the Amer
lean millionaires, but in the homes of
persons of comparatively limited means.
Taste and refinement rule supreme in
the choice and in the arrangement of
the furniture and the decorations. But
in proportion as the American interiors
are charming the eXteriors of the
houses are dreadful. 1t would be a
blessing to New York if some incendi-
airy should set to work and utterly de-
stroy the whole of Fifth Avenuel
Those long rows of houses, all in the
same gloomy hue of dusky brown, al
ways gave me fit of depression when
ever looked at them. An American,
no matter how colossal his wealth, does
not seem to care about the outside of
his splendid home. The result is that
those brown stone fronts look like
gigantic cakes of chocolate. But within
the delighted visitor finds all the treas
ures of an art museum, including rarities
that might be coveted for national gal
leries like that of the Louvre"

comprising the present epoch, and to
close with extinction of the sun, en-
bracing the entire cycle of geological for
mations-is found by geological and
physical evidence as likely to have a
total length of 100000 years, of
which more than half has passed. The
third stadium-starting from the end of
solar illumination, and closing in the
terrible and inevitable catastrophe of
the fall of the earth to the sun, and
momentarily frightened by the incan-
descence of the earth as the moon
crashes into twill have length that
can not be calculated until the precise
rate of acceleration of the motion of
the earth around the center of attrac-
ton is known, but will probably be, at
the lowest estimate, 100,000,000 years
or more. Upon the whole, the present
age of the earth appears to be about
100000 years. This is but small
part of its existence, and everything
leads to the belief that its total evolu-
ton through the immensely of space
will exceed million centuries.
