As usual, there is vast deal of ru-
NOR and report and recommendation
and suggestion about Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet, and this industrious canvas
Of names extends to local appointments
in West Virginia and other States. 1t
is interesting, and it does no special
harm, but, after all, it may amount TO
nothing. The truth Of it is that Mr..
Cleveland, in the mater of appoint
ments, occupies a higher place Of per
sonal security than any president who
has gone into the Office since jackson.
This is due to two facts; his second
term, with no possibility of reelection
and no necessity Of playing for it; and
the extension Of the civil service rules.
He IS politician, but it is impossible
to say how he will act. He may use
opportunity in the higher sense, or he
may do as he did eight years ago, and
ally himself to a certain extent with
the controlling powers in each State.
Ineither case he is going to make many
enemiesin his own party. But that is
always the effect Of patronage.

Those who are brought into constant
daily contact with criminals do not, as
a rule, entertain the prevailing notions
as TO the indictments or inducements
which led on to crime, nor do they be-
lieve in popular means Of prevention.
When Warden Lowering, ofthe Massa-
ehusetts State Prison, was examined
last week by committee Of the State
Legislature and was asked If keeping
paupers and trainps out of the State
would have any appreciable effect in
reducing the number Of criminals, he
answered in the negative. He was
probably right; but he was excused
from further examination. The COM
mitteemen were looking for facts to
fortify their own preconceptions.

As first step toward Pension Re
form amendments will be offered to the
pension appropriation bill transferring
the pension Office from the Interior to
the War department, and providing for
the publication of the lists in all the
pension districts. The friends of Pen
sion Reform are not the enemies Of the
soldier. They propose to get nearer
to the soldier, and farther away from
the claim agent and from improper
political influences, by the transfer Of
the pension management to the war
Office. The publication of the lists
would serve at once to inform the pub
mind and to stimulate public action in
helping to expurge from the rolls all
undeseryers. 1t would be impossible
10 deny the money asked for by the
pension Office in advance Of investiga-
ton but the preliminary steps toward
revision should be instantly taken.
There can be no complaint of haste or
injustice, save on the part of those who
do openly uphold the frauds which

HOW 10 determine Distance AZ 8ons
The rules for determining the distance
Of objects seen at sea are very simple and
should BE- known by all. Suppose that
the eye of the observer Is iS feet
above the level Of the ocean. In that
case we double 10, which gives rs 80,
the square root of which Is 0. Therefore,
the horizon lies at distance of 8 miles
when the observer sees II from an eleya-
ton Of IS feet. From 4 height Of 80 feet
(which is about that Of the eye
Of an observer on vessel the size of the
City Of Romeo we double the distance Of
the eye above sea level, which give MS 90,
the square root Of which Is ~. Hence
an object may be seen at a distance Of
II miles from steamer Of

tanned in the same way. Then, suppose
the depth Of the part concealed to be 12
feet, then we take the square root Of

the ships distance beyond the horizon is
10 miles Hence II ship Is seen with
IL feet Of the hull down that Is with 10
feet Of the hull invisible). the observa-
lions being taken from the deck Of 4
steamer of the size OF tine City Of Rome,
we may correctly infer that its distance
is 40 miles beyond the distance Of the
horizon (which. by the figures alone, is
proved to be at distance Of TT miles,
We add the two sets of figures together

General Francis A. Walker suggests
that every immigrant be required to
deposit 500 with the Government on
landing, to be returned to him after
two years if he should not in the mean
time become public charge. Stats
ties OF immigration to the port Of New
iork show that the average amount of
money in possession Of Scandinavian
immigrants does not exceed $50 each.
Most Of immigrants are are prouided,
however, with tickets taking them to
Their destination in the far West, where
thelr friends are ready to receive them
and give them employment. But Gen
eral Walkers tax of 800 would oper-
ate as a prohibitionupon the
industrious and well-disposed
class of immigrants. It would take
the money from them, too, at time
when above all Others they would have
most need of it for'their immediate
wants. Existing laws, if vigorously
enforced, woull provide amply for the
exclusion Of paupers but it appears
that the main object Of the proposed
legislation is to exclude immigrants
who are most capable Of work.
