DOES NOT FEAR IMPEACHMENT.
Gov. Toole Regards All Talk OF the
Matter az Ridiculous.

HELENA, MONT, Nov 3o.-Gov. Toole's
attention was this afternoon called to the
plan of the republicans to impeach him for
designating the hall in which the legislature
should assemble. and placing the Eeys
to il in the hands of democratic police. The
governor said he should not feel in danger
even if the legislature were Overwhelmingly
republican, but as matters stand talk OF
impeachment was ridiculous A trial for
impeachment must come before the Senate,
and tgo-thirds Of the members must vote
for impeachment to convict. The Senate
stands eight republicans and eight demo-
Gratis. and it is certain the latter will not
vote for impeachment.

NUMBER OF PENSIONS.
The report of the coulanissionsr for the
last fiscal year shows that there were on
the rolls on juno 80, 1889, 4S9,725 pension
ers, classified as follows: 351, ,4S4 army
invalids; 81, 500 army widows, minor chill
dren, and dependent relatives; 4,547 navy
invalids; ,266 navy widows, minor children
and dependent relatives; 603 survivors Of
the war of 1879; 1894 widows OF
those who served in that war;
and 6,206 willows of those who served in
that war. The names Of 81, ,921 pensioners
were added to the roll, and the names of
1,754 pensioners dropped from the roll were
restored, making an aggregate of 53,675
pensioners added to the roll during the
year. The names of 16, ,507 pensioners were
dropped for various causes, leaving the net
increase for the year 81, 1853.
PENSION ESTIMATES.
The estimates for pensions made for the
fiscal year beginning July l, 1889, were in
adequate. The estimate for the previous
year was SS0,000,000. But before this esd-
mate for the present year was completed,
it was apparent that deficiency would be
incurred to the amount Of at least IS, ,000,-
600, and that this, added to the original
SO, 1000, 600, would not be enough to meet
the obligations accruing before the end Of
even that fiscal year.
1t was known also that the pension list
was increasing, and if the payments of
1S86-S9 could not be met with $50, ,000, 900,
but deficiency bill had to be passed for
$S, 900, 900 more, it must have been antici-
pated that the former commissioners sue
cessor would be run into deficiency. Yet
the estimate for pensions was confined to
$50, 900, 900 for 1889-'90 | do not hesitate
to assume the responsibility Of recommend
ing an increase in the appropriation for
pensions, so that liberal and legal payment
may be made to all the deserving pensioners
of the republic. This sum will reach S97,-
210,252.

Supreme Court JudReship.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA number of
Ohio lawyers have been In Washington dur
ing the last week urging President Harrison
to appoint Gen. I. W. Sondelson of Youngs-
town to the United States supreme bench
as the successor of Stanley Matthews.
The President argued that Ohio had been
given more than her share, as In twenty
five years she had furnished Chief Justices
Chase and Waite, and Justices Swayne and
Matthews, while che late Judge Woods,
although appointed from Mississippi, was
practically an Ohio man, as he left the state
after the war and always considered Ohio
his home. From what Senator Sherman
told of the interview, it is possible that
Alfred Russel of Detroit will be appointed.

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
Annual Report OF Secretary Noble
Covering Many Matters.

O0NSAA&& 4*~~~@@- ~4NhO46s
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The report Of the
Secretary of the Intsrier is a very lengthy
one, covering many topics, all of which
appear to be dealt with in a very intelli-
gent and interesting manner. The follow
ing are few of the points touched upon:
THE CENSUS.
The latest appliances for the rapid tabula-
tion and presentation Of the results of the
census have been adopted, and no effort
will be spared to present, at as early date
as possible, the entire results OF another dec
ade Of toe nations progress.
As an illustration of the magnitude of
this undertaking, it is only necessary to
mention the fact that 1t is estimated that
there will be employed in taking the eleventh
census AZ, 900 enumerators. 1000 clerks, from
800 to 900 special agents, 175 supervisors,
and rs experts. The number Of published
volumes will probably exceed those of the
tenth census The calculation has been
made that if the inquiry in regard to
veterans should yield 100000 names. it
will take eight quarto volumes of 1000
pages each to contain them.
Every effort will be made to secure an
early publication of results. To that end
the interior department has leased build
ings capable Of providing for 1000 clerks,
and the superintendent, by the aid of spe-
cialists, has mapped out in advance the
scope of every special agent
MINES AND MINING.
One of the most valuable branches of the
work of the bureau to a large and growing
portion of our population is that relating to
the statistics of mines and mining; and a
volume giving these and other information
relating to such subjects is issued annually.
The value of these natural resources of the
country, which IL is the special province of
the bureau to ascertain and publish to the
world, is indicated by the accompanying
table showing the metallic products Of the
United States in 1888:

referred TO cOnmlbtee OF tne Wnole 1or SUD-
sequent distribution among the appropriate
has been customary for each newly
organized House of Representatives to
adopt the rules Of the preceding
house. but In some instances this adop-
ton has been for a limited period only.
In view OF the proposed notifications of
the rules 1t is probable that tho old rul es
will this time be accepted only for week
or ten days, thus giving the committee on
rules an opportunity to formulate new
code.
NO RADICAL CHANGE PROBABLE.
It is not likely, however, that the new
code will be very radically different from
the old code so far as the resisting power of
the minority is concerned, for any attempt
to materially interfere with what the
minority, through long usage, has come to
look upon as its rights, would be
stubbornly resisted by the democrats,
and there are few republicans
who are equally tenacious of their immuni-
ties under present practices. But some
modification will undoubtedly be attempted
in order to prevent small minority (for
instance, one fifth of the members present,
who NAV now compel the roll to be called
ud libitum upon filibustering motions)
from controlling very large majority.
APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES.
The committees on rules, mileage, enrolled
bills and accounts will necessarily be ap-
pointed this week, but Of late years the
practice has been to defer the appointment
of the remaining committees until after
the holiday recess, so that no legislative
business is likely to be transacted before the
new year. Meanwhile, following numerous
precedents, the House viii probably permit
the inrroduction of bills for printing and
reference to the appropriate committees
when appointed, and of these bills and reso-
lutions. new and old. there are vast numbers
now ready for introduction.

immigration is already having its effect

there are mumblings in favor of the

CHILD LAROR AND COMPULSORY
EDUCATION.

After much agitation two years ago
the labor sgitstors induced the Legis
lature of Pennsylvania to pass law
forbidding the employment of children
under twelve years of age in mills,
mines or factories. 1t was undoubt-
eddy good law. and might with profit
to society be copied in all the States. A
boy or girl under twelve years. who is
compelled to labor all day long and day
after day in a mine or mill is not apt
to grow up to be worthy ard valuable
man or woman. Such person
will naturally be ignorant and
stupid as to everything save the trade
or toll in which it is engaged. He will
also suffer physically, aud in most cases
morally.
But in connection with the Pennsyl-
vania enactment, there arises another
and very important question. 1t is OF
a difficult matter to enforce the law
Heavy penalties for its violation are
provided, and employers are not willin.,
to run the risk of evere fires for the
sake of the small profits derived from
child labor. It is said the act has been
faithfully obeyed, and those who are
responsible for the law may con-
gratulate themselves on having achieved
their object. No children are working
in the manufactures, mines Or mills.
But what has become of the children
who were once employed in these
places? The complaint is that they
are running the streets in idleness,
some of them hoodIums, most of them
mischievous and MOI few thieves and
p;ckpo ket : As the matter stands it
is eminently worse for the little ones
