IT begins to look as if the New
York Senatorship would eventually
be knocked down to the highest
bidder. That's getting to be too
common method of making United
States Senators.-N. Y Paper.
So New York Senators actually
buy their seats. From the many
items we have seen in New York
and Eastern papers, we were of the
opinion that Nevada was the only
State in the Union that allowed
Senators to purchase their seats in
the u. s. Senate.

If it is in order we should like
to ask question, which we trust
some Democratic editor may feel
disposed to answer without accus-
ing us of waving the bloody shirt. !"
If the Republican Postmaster at
Carrollton, Mississippi, had shot
down in cold blood and killed a
Democrat Of that town, instead of
being thus treated by Democrat,
would he have been acquitted on
the ground of "self Defense" by
the coroners jury, as was the DEM
Ocrat?

Sec. WINDOW died very suddenly
at banquet in New York City on
the 29th inst. He was Secretary of
the Treasury under President Gar
field, but retired on the accession
of Pres. Arthur. When Harrison
was elected he was again appointed
Secretary of the Treasury, and held
!; that position up to the time Of his
death. He was a lawyer by pro-
.fsssion, and in his death the goldites
of the East lose a firm friend, while
silver men are disposed of bitter
enemy. Window was an able man,
and his influence over President
Harrison was considerable. There
is much speculation as to who will
succeed him.

WHEN the Elections Bill was
side-tracked in the Senate to make
way for the Finance Bill the dis
patches from Washington gave the
bulk of the credit to Senator Jones.
Now that the Elections Bill has
been thoroughly cremated and the
Republican Senators who helped to
bury it are being threatened with
all kinds of things because they
voted with the Democrats and as
sisted free coinage measure to
pass the Senate, Stewart seems to
be getting the bulk of the blame.
Would not this naturally lead one
to think that the dispatches in the
first instance were slightly errone-
GUS, to say the least? It may be
that the friends of the Force Bill
will make it uncomfortable for
Stewart, but his constituents will
admire his independence which re-
suited in the Senate free coinage
measure. They may make Stewart
sweat a little, but while they are
doing it their own clothes will be
dripping with perspiration.

urday as those of Alexander Gibson, who worked
for him four months ago In his blacksmith shop

that such is the case. the features,

a good workman, but went on sprees when he
got money. He is supposed to have been work.

place.
No evidence has been obtained to confirm the
theory OF murder, put forward in the verdict of
the coroners jury, which rests solely on the
opinion of DIR. z. L Smith that the mans throat
had been cut before the train struck him.

This list is being supplemented daily by pur-
chases from local book stores. There are $50
periodicals besides the shelf list. that are on file
in the reading rooms.
Librarian smoke says that there Is not now a
proper proportion OF books in the dinerert
classes. The list. he says, Is short in science
and religion, but fuil in fiction, history, biog-
raphy and travel It is short in sociology, but
has superabundance OF magazines, and in the
fine art department is well represented The
reason that the library is not evenly balanced
now is that the original institution was not to
open until the whole 5000 volumes were on the
shelves. and until the remaining 1000 volumes
are received some classes of books will be better
represented than others. Mr.. Lockwood in

Alaska.

The report OF the governor OF Alaska presents
some interesting facts anu recommendations
about that vast and as yet UNEMPLOYED territory
With an area OF $4,000 square miles, nearly one
sixth OF the whole territory OF the United
states, IL embraces numerous lofty mountain
chains and valleys, extensive plains and dense
forests. The forests abound in timber of which
the value is yet unknown. Besides the main
land there are ll0o islands, varying in siza from
few acres 10 hundreds of square miles in area
Among these islands, and extending far into
the mainland, are numerous deep-sea channels
and immense rivers, which serve as the high
ways OF travel anu commerce. aud without

territory would De almost impossible.

1t 10 shown by the report OF the commissioner
OF pensions that, while the benefits of the PEN
larger class, the average of first payments to
each pensioner has also decreased. There were
222,521 first payments of every description made
274.sl, being s69,592 less than was required for
the 13o,5l4 first payments made during the pre-
vious year. The average value OF first payments
age value of first payments on claims allowed
under the act of June q, $780, was $71.2S. The
average value OF first payments for the preced-
dnction ten in the average first payment f for the
year 1891, as compared with 1890, of $246. 80.
The reason OF this will appear upon q mo-
ments reflection: Under the old law
years, while the proofs were being per-
fected or they were being reached In due order,
SHOULD have ppS az psn.on from n. dats
OF fltng the claim or, of discharge, as the facts
warranted, this sum was necessarily large. But
the claims under the new law have been dis
posed of rapidly by the additional force recently
allowed by congress, and as the pension COM
mences from the date of filing the claim subse-
quent to passage OF the act of June "a, $780, the
first payment on each has been small. This is
connected also with the fact that many thou
sands of claimants, despairing of proving disa.
bility incurred in line of duty, and only thus
pensionable under the old law, elected to re-
ceive the benefits OF the new general disability
act and to take the lesser sums accruing from
the date of the last fling OF the claim.
Another result now perceptible, growing out
of these conditions, is that all the pension
claims filed, or that can be, on which first pay
ments can accrue, will have then been passed
upon and disposed OF within the next three
years, and thereupon there will disappear from
the estimates the item OF first payments, now
amounting to about s30,000,000 a year. care
full estimate puts the period when first pay
ments will cease, because of the allowance of all
original claims, at about thirty months from the
present time, and IL 10 deemed within bounds
to say that at no intermediate point will the
payment D.0U
and that at the period named, or even before, it
will drop to $50, 900 900, with . rapid and con-
tinuous decline thereafter.
The present issue of certificates 10 about 80 900
per month, and the commissioner expresses the
belief that the bureau will be able TO carefully
adjudicate and allow $50 900 claims for pensions
during the present fiscal year, and that the
present appropriation OF sl33,473,0S5 will be
sufficient to pay them.
