Mr.. LEEDS "Fence POST policy in
railroad management having been
laughed out of countenance, the small
railroad companies are now puncturing
his nonsense about fuel for locomotives
being as economical in California as in
the East. The representative of the San
Francisco and North Pacific Railroad
presented to the Senate committee the
other evening some facts that completely
disprove the Leeds position. The San
Francisco and North Pacific Railroad was
compared with Southern railroads be-
cause the physical conditions in the
South more nearly resemble those in Cal
ifornia. From this comparison the truth
is evident-to-wit, that everything Mr..
Leeds has charged about cheapness oi
fuel in locomotive use in California is
false.

Miss FRANCES NJ. ABBOTT, in speaking
in the February number of the Forum of
the remarkable social changes in our
American life, says: 81 remember hear
ing Judge of the Supreme Court say
that in his youth he frequently awoke on
winters morning and found the bed
covered with snow that had sifted
through; and yet in his age the excellent
man found house with twenty-five
rooms heated with steam throughout
none too great for his comfort" Which
suggests that the present generation, even
among those not considered especially
well-to-do, have not a full realizing sense
of the wonderful advances made in the
matter of contribution TO human COM
fort that have distinguished their days
from those of their grandparents. In
deed, we have been frequently amused
at the great difficulty elder people have
in this day of impressing youth with a
correct idea of life without such things as

on the alert to prevent Frauds keeping the
pension roll abnormally small, with nearly
as many applicants for pension still waiting
at the bureau of pensions to have their
claims settled as there are pensioners on
the roll.
The pensioners, aged and respected citi-
zens at home, who should enjoy their pen
sion in peace, are bounded and shadowed by
Cleveland's special examiners ana special
detectives of the pension office, located ana
travelling in all parts OF the country, some
of whom alternate their headquarters be-
tween the tailor shop and the drug store,
and are better judges of good clothes and
perfumery than of legal evidence.
About ten years ago the entire list OF pen
siOners was published and distributed
broadcast to expose alleged Frauds but no
frauds were discovered, and the false cry of
the adversary was in measure silenced.
Since that time all pensions granted, day by
day, at the pension office have been tele-
graphed for publication in the newspapers,
40 IL fraud succeeded in wriggling through
the devices of the bureau of pensions, his
neighbors have had ample opportunity to
expose him before the first payment of the
pension was made. Why are not the names
of the alleged frauds purged from the pen
sion roll, published? The pensioners III
Vermont who have felt Cleveland's guillO-
tine, so far as l know, have been men with
out property or Influence and the least sus-
pected of fraud by their neighbors.
The democratic soldiers in this vicinity
would like to know why General John G..
Black, a democratic representative from
Illinois, receiving more soldiers votes III
his election than any other member of con-
gress, with a good war record and four
years of experience as commissioner OF pen
sions, was not made chairman of the house
committee of pensions, or given place on
that committee? Was it because he exc
cuted the pension laws so faithfully and
would not be dictated to by the president
when in Office?
The unprecedented policy now inaugur-
ated at Washington, OF reducing the pay
ments of pensions 81 100000 month, in a
winter of Distress by suspending and cut
ting off pensions on the assumption of fraud,
making pensioners again applicants to wait
the months and years the pension Office re-
quires in settling claims, taking away the
| good names of the soldiers, stamping them
| as frauds and swindlers of the nation they
helped to save, is too unjust and un.
American to receive the approval of good
| people. T. j. DEAvITT.

Mr.. Cleveland and the Pensioners.

Editor Of Waterman; Every presidents
annual message to congress since the war
Of the great rebellion, excepting Cleveland's
last one and his tariff one in 1887, has con-
tanned some apprecative mention of the
soldiers who fought for the Union, gener-
ally advocating liberal pensions and the
use of honest balances, not apothecaries
weight, in adjusting their claims against
the government; but President Cleveland's
message to the congress now in session
omits any mention of the veterans service,
and displays that animosity toward pen
sions that characterized his vetOes of pri-
vate pension bills during his first term in
Office. In his zeal, with one swoop of the
executive pen, he strikes both the pensioner
and the citizen who opposes the anti pen
sion policy of his administration. 81 am
unable" he says, "to understand why
frauds in the pension rolls should not be
exposed and corrected with thoroughness
and vigor." He thus assumes, first, that
the pension rolls are fraudulent, and, sec.
ond, that the people approve the frauds,
either Of which assumptions is as unjust and
as fallacious as the other. That old cry OF
fraudulent PENSIONS whether in the South
that bears its share of the expenses without
reaping largely of its benefits, or in the
North, serves to keep the pension officials

The Waterman for 1894.

The reasons for the changes made in The
WATCHMAN January l. 1898, have been
fully justified by results. The enlargement
Of the paper has given space for an extern
sion of the state and local news service and for
the adoption of other improvements which
had long been desired. With the begin
ming of the fufllment of the plans of the
publishers those who have read the WATCH
MAN during the past year are familiar.
The improvements made are an earnest of
those that will be undertaken. The fact
that the new WATCHMAN has received the
popular endorsement is attested by the adj
dition of a thousand new names to its sub
scription list, by the extension of its circu-
lation into new fields, and the unqualified
expressions of satisfaction that have come
voluntarily from its old friends and support
ers in all parts of the state, and particularly
from Washington county and throughout
the region of central Vermont.
A feature of the paper which has given
great satisfaction to the general reader, as
well as to the people of the communities
more Immediately interested, is the special
write-ups of the thriving localities within
the radius of the WATCHMAN's circulation.
These have disclosed the details of the life
and business of thrifty communities some
what removed from the lines Of railways
and public observation, but which are the
seats of a quiet but busy life and the real
sources of the states material prosperity and
her moral greatness. This scheme of discov-
ering Vermont to Vermonters will be con-
tinued and extended; the state and local
news service will be increasingly developed
and perfected, and the papers devotion to
Vermont and Vermont interests and institu-
tons exemplifed in every way that enter
prise can suggest.
THE WATERWAYS various departments,
Agricultural, Household, and others, will
be maintained with such improvements as
experience shall suggest.
The coming year is the year of the state
election and the meeting of the legislature,
and will be, therefore, one of unusual interest
to the citizens of the state. The WATCH
MAN, published at the state capital, has
opportunities for publishing political news
and particularly news connected with the
session of the legislature, not possessed by
journals less favorably situated. You oou

Insanity was the defense, and, by an agree

submitted no evidence, and the case went
to the jury without argument. Judge Ross
virtually charged the jury to return such a
verdict as they did. Mcdowell will be
committed to the state asylum at Water

In another column 7. J. Deavitt,
Esq, makes a severe but an entirely
just arraignment of President Cleve-
lands anti-pension policy. We COM
mend Mr.. Deavitt's communication to
the careful reading of all, particularly
the veterans. -
THE sons of American missionaries,
who give tone and character to the
revolution in Hawaii, are worthy sons
of noble sires. They propose to fight
the United States, even, if the policy of
restoration is undertaken. They are
arming, drilling and fortifYing for their
defense since news of Cleveland's in
lentions has been received, and they
propose to lay their case before the
congress of the United States. Their
cause is as just as that of the American
colonists in the last century, In Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Gresham,
the Hawaiians have their King George
the Third and their Lord North.

IF an American minister has I'M
warrantably interfered in the affairs of
foreign people, who should be pun
ished, the offending minister or the
people? Dictator Cleveland says the
people, and the general verdict is that
the president of the United States has
mighty queer idea of justice. Could
any punishment be more revolving than
that which President Cleveland pro-
posed for the intelligent, enlightened,
liberty-loving people of Hawaii, and all
because, as the president alleges, an
American minister helped to relieve
them of such an incubus as a half
barbaric, dissolute queen and her cor
rupt associates? Minister Stevens is
all right. The president is all wrong
and, worse yet, he is pigheadedly bru'
tai in sticking to wrong course.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-12-20

THE president scores eX-Minister
Stevens for meddling with the internal
affairs of Hawaii, but he himself as
sumes, in respect of that country, the
triple role Of invader, dictator and pro-
tector. He sends out minister backed
by strong naval force to restore the
deposed queen; he dictates the terms
upon which restoration shall be under
taken and accepted, and insists upon
the right to protect her rebellious sub
jects against the vengeful hand of
offended royalty. The ex-minister's
offense-conceding that he has offended
is venial, com pared with the usurpa-
tions of the president.
