COMMISSIONER TITcoMB's REMARKS.
!. w. Titcomb, state fish and game
commissioner and secretary OF the
League, responded Tor the com
mission. He began with few lelici-
tous remarks, stating, among other
things, that he had just moved from
The youngest city in the state to one
OF her suburbs-that is, it would be
one of the suburbs if they could get
another bend in the railroad. But
to talk seriously;
Permit me to say that | believe the
future prosperity of Vermont will b,
largely enhanced by, il it does not depend
entirely upon, two essentials-namely, 6
careful attention to our roads and the
protection of our forests, streams ane
ponds. The former essential, an
pleased to remark, is i'll good hands,

latter is the subject which claims our at

forests and streams in its liberal sens,
may be interpreted as the protection o
the forests with proper care for thei
wild inhabitants, and the improvement
Of our waters by stocking them ant

j. STERLING MORTON of Nebraska
Cleveland's choice for Secretary of Agri-
culture, is not discovery. He has been
prominent In politics for ten years and
should be known as the founder of Arbor
Day. He is a thoroughly Western man
and understands the needs and the senti-
ments of the West. Referring TO his
appointment as Secretary Of Agriculture
he says: II regard the department as
one Of the utmost Importance to the
farming class, and It will be my purpose
to make it an aid and not detriment to
them. don't believe in the protective
tariff as practiced nowadays, but l do
believe the farmer needs protection from
certain would.be friends-those who
assure him that he knows more about
running railroads, commerce and finance
than about raising crops. He ought to
be delivered from some great economic
fallacies."
"Do you regard the Anti-option bill as
one 2"
II do. Were there no exchanges big
millers could fix their own prices on farm
produce and the farmer would be com
PEELED to accept them.
That statement is recommended to
those who are seeking to protect the
farmer from the Board Of Trade specula.
tors by means of the deceitful and mop
erative Anti.option bill. OF what advan-
tage would it be to the farmer to go from
a general exchange, where there are men
on both sides Of the market, bulls" and
bears, rs they are called-one party
struggling TO decrease the other TO in
crease prices-to an exchange of millers
who are always bears2 That one question
shows the fallacy of the Anti-option bill
and the strength and courage of j. Ster
ling Morton. Though aWestern man, and
chosen to the Agricultural Department
to take care Of the farmers interests h,
puts this great fad into contempt al
| once.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Ideal Railway Management.

Pr, sident Ashley in The Railway Age.
The 6rst step in this ideal railway
management is TO proclaim a policy Of
promotion from the ranks of the en-
ployes Of the company according TO abil-
ity and meritorious service. IL should
be understood thst in all cases when
vacancies occur in positions, such as the
heads of departments Of their assist
ants, men in the employ of the comprny
will always have the preference In new
appointments. Generally Il will be
found that men well qualified to fill any
OF the higher grades Of service have
been gradually acquiring the requisite
knowledge for more important and more
responsible duties, and as II is in prac
tice and experience in an operating de-
partment with which they are
familiar that this knowledge has
been gained, IL is all the
more Trustworthy Occasionally il
may happen that positions calling for
unusual capacity and skill cannot be
filed satisfactorily FROM existing ma
terials in the operating department, AID
In such cases an outside selection must
be made; but a very large portion Of the
Offices can be filled from those in charge
OF the road unless the operating force
has bsen badly selseted In tbs first place.

ENGLAND SHOULD DO RIGHT.

Home Rule bill, Mr.. Chamberlain says

The result of such policy wherever It
has been tried is gratifying enough TO
Justify the confidence of railway man
ayers In its beneficial influence. 1t
awakens ambition in the men, inspires
them with hope and stimulates them to
an honorable competition. Men who feel
that good work is appreciated and that
they have fair chance of rising in their
occupations TO higher grades in the SER
vice and to larger compensation will
work with much greater zeal, energy and
heart. The next step in the administra-
tion Of our ideal railway is to establish
a well Reconstructed system of life insur-
ance and pensions. To carry this into effect
requires the accumulation of sufficient
capital at the start TO become at least
partly operative, but II Is an all impor
tant policy in the scheme Of improve
ment. Life insurance is now in force on
the lines Of the Pennsylvania company.
and perhaps TO a limited extent ION other
lines; but to answer the purpose of the
scheme outlined in this paper 1t should
be conducted upon entirely different
principles from those which govern ordi-
nary life insurance and should embrace
accidents and pensions within its provis-
ions. The fund itself should be entirely
provided by yearly contributions from
the'earnings ofthe railway, because tn G
company should regulate the distribu
tion in such way as to offer strong in
ducements to employees to secure benefits
of the fund by long and faithful service
and to make them feel that their true
interests will be served by adherinl

SOME remarkable charges were made
In the House in regard to persons to
whom pensions have been issued, one
charge being that made by Mr.. Tarsney,
Of Missouri, to the effect that pensions
have been issued on account OF loss Of
hair and badness. This seems like the
height Of absurdlty, and yet the replies
Of pension examiners are not satisfac
tory denials. They are not denials at
all Secretary Noble requested the
medical examiners TO answer categori
cally whether they had allowed pen
sion claim on account of loss of hair or
badness. Fifty-two Of the medical ex.
aminers and reviewers replied that they
had never passed any such case; one re
piled, Il don't know" and twelve re
piled that they "did not remember.
Mr.. Tarsney reiterates that such claimi
have been allowed and that the exami
ners and reviewers who do not remembel
were afraid TO tell the truth for fear o
dismissal They ought to be dismissed
anyhow, because their answers indicate
that they do not know what they
might have recommended the ISSUE
Of pensions for; and, that they
might have recommended pensions foi
