Gen. William w. Averill, the well known
cavalry officer during the rebellion, is now
assistant inspector of national military
homes since the act of Congress giving aid
to state Soldiers Homes. He has been de
tailed also to inspect the state homes, and
he makes the following report, in substance.
Of the Soldiers Home in Vermont at Ben
nington
There has been a steady Improvement
with marked results in this home since my
last inspection, but the great and urgent
need, hospital, has not been supplied. It's
construction was to he considered at the
next meeting of the board of trustees. A
one story pavilion of 20 beds and service
room would be sufficient. No legislature
has met since last inspection, and therefore
there has been no change in appropriations.
The economy is very rigid There is ap
parently no waste whatever. The clothing
of the members is mended by using up old
clothing each man has two suits The
dormitories are rooms holding generally
two members, and are comfortably and
even elegantly furnished The large and
well managed farm adds to the comforts
of this home, not the least Of which is an
opportunity for the members to work

Whether it (Mr Lodges bill for the ap
pointment of fourth-class postmasters) will
meet a better reception than Grout's bill to
make the postmaster elective by the pa
irons of the office, remains to be seen. The
fact that such bills are presented is good
evidence that there is a popular call for
them, When the popular call wakes louder
than partisan greed such bills will become
laws. 1t is in the hands of the Republican
party TO take this long step in reform, and
If they are true to their declarations they
will take it, We have been wont TO look
at this party as the source from which
purified political life was 10 come. During
this administration is most opportune
time for it to appear. The fate of
these bills will test the calibre of congress
men if they do no more, and the results of
the test will qualify the people to discharge
their suffrage duties intelligently the next
time they have a chance.

ALASKA'S VERMONT GOVERNOR.
Hi- Coed Example and Influence
AmonR the NnIiNen.

Dr. Sheldon jackson, United States geu.
eral agent Of education in Alaska, adds his
testimony to that Of many others in regard
10 the good record which Hon Lyman f..
Knapp Of Middlebury is making as governor
Of Alaska For the first time, " he says,
81 have "a good report TO make as to the
attitude Of government officials in Alaska
President Arthur sent there a set Of drunk
ards aud gamblers President Cleveland
removed those officials because they we're
hostile to the missionaries, and then ap.
pointed another set just like them"
OF the present governor Of Alaska, Ly.
man +. Knapp, DR.. jackson says THE
present governor, appointed by President
Harrison, is an old fashioned New England
COngregationalist from Vermont He goes
to church every Sunday, and people are
still talking about the fact that he teaches
a Bible class. His example has revolution
lied public sentiment, and il is now popu-
lar for white men in Alaska to go to church
at least once on Sunday, and the govern
ment officials usually 90, no matter how
much they may swear about the mission
aries during the week The natives are
docile and tractable, and follow naturally
the examples of white superiors
Nevertheless the condition Of the natives
is still deplorable The native house has
one room where the entire family sleep on
the floor, cook around hole in the floor,
aud eat from an iron dish standing on the
floor, into which each one reaches his wood
en- spoon. To open the minds Of these peo.
pie and teach them to desert their filth,
without at the same time, training them to
some means Of earning money to support a
ceanlier style of living, would only increase
their wretchedness
Stories of the treatment of women and
girls by the native Alaskans, are revolving
in the extreme, and too iniquitous TO print
Scores Of people, says DR.. Jackson are
murdered as witches under Alaskan super
sttion, and hundreds and thousands of won
en- are ruined, becoming drunken and
wretched squaws.
A more uninvitng field could hardly be
found, but Gov. Knapp seems to find ample
opportunity for usefulness, to be accom-.
plishing great deal Of good, and to find a
sufficient number of civilized people to make
life in that far away country not only en-
durable, but quite pleasant
