MONUMENT TO GOV. cHITTEN-
DEN,

In response to the invitation of Repre-
sentative II. S. johnson of Willis
ton the Secretary of State, the three Sen
ators-elect and nine of the Representa-
tives-elect of Chittenden county dined
with Mr.. Johnson Friday. Gov.-elect
Woodbury., who is much interested in
the matter, had just returned from Bos-
ton suffering from neuralgia ard did not
feel able to be present. The dinner fin
ished, this honorable body repaired to
the old cemetery in Williston, where lie
the remains of Vermont's first and hon
ored governor, Thomas Chittenden.
Here they met a goodly number of the
intelligent citizens of Williston, who
with them, looked over the grounds and
talked over the subject of some monu'
ment that shall properly commemorate
the civic, judicial and statesmanlike
virtues of their first governor and
show the respect that is cherished for
him by the State and all her citizens.
1t is to be hoped that this public gath
ering is the inaguration of movement
that will grow, be organized in the next
Legislature and eliminate in memorial
of marble or granite that shall be as solid
and enduring as the virtues of the man
and statesman to whom it shall be built
and the citizens that build it.-Free

A FEW MEXICAN PENSIONERS,

A recent search in the lists of pension
ers OF the Mexican war has brought to
light some names not remotely associated
with American history. For instance,
there is Senator George of Mississippi,
who, though Colonel in the Confeder-
ate army, draws pension from CRATE
full and forgiving country for his military
achievements in the Mexican war. Sim
ilarly, there is ex-senator Maxey of Tex
as, who served the Confederacy as Major
General, butts not disqualified on that
account from drawing pension for SER
vices in the war with Mexico. Also,
there is Major General Maury, who COM
manded the Confederate forces at the
battle of Chickasaw bayou; and Briga-
dier Chalmers, who was chief lieutenant
of the notorious Forrest.
Moreover, there are widows, not few
whose names recall incidents in the late
unpleaslntness. For example, the wild
ow of Sidney Smith Lee, who left our
navy to become Commodore in the Con-
federate naval service; the widow of
Lieut.. Gen. A. 2. Hill, who led one of
Lees Army Corps; the widow of Moi
Gen. Gideon j. Pillow, who commanded
Confederate division; the widow of
Samuel Cooper, Adiutant General of our
army at the beginning of the war, who,
though Northern man by birth, did all
that he could officially to add to the re-
sources of the Confederacy, and was re-
warded for his treachery by being given
a corresponding position in the Confed-
crate army; the widow of Maj. Gen.
Pickett, who commanded a division of
the Confederate army, and the widow of
the gallant Gen. Thomas j. Jackson,
better known as "Stonewall Jackson"
These all with others whose names
less well known, but whose careers were
similar, are borne upon the pension rolls
OF the United States. The public has
condoned the acts of treason and rebel
lion of which these men were guilty.
All of them it welcomed back on the
same footing as other citizens who never
breathed disloyal breath. Some of
them it has honored with high civil of
flee. Their names, if they are living or
if they are dead, the names of their wild
ows are carried on the pension rolls.
We do not know that any one would
have them stricken off. But the fact that
they are there should, we think, some.
what moderate the zeal with which
Southern men in Congress- attack the
pension policy of the Government as ex-
emplified toward the veterans who
fought in the armies of the Union. BY
way of contrast with these fortunate
widows of ex-Confederates, it is inter-
esting to observe that the claims of 145,
600 widows of Union. veterans are still
pending.-BoStOn Journal,

There is an immense amount of hedg-
ing just now because of Prof. Wilson's
speeches in England. The hobnobbing
of the American leader in tariff-smasb-
ing with the British beneficiaries of the
new schedules comes at an inconvenient
season for the Democrats, and advertises
rather too conspiculously to the world
the character of the confederacy. of
which Wilson and his coadjutors are the
'strong-s American allies" and the
British manufacturers the interested
partners. Managers of the Democratic
Congressional campaign are particularly
nervous over these demonstrations and
would give good deal if they could
have been deferred until after the cleo
ton. But it seems to the Boston Jour
nal that they take altogether too narrow
a view of the matter. Gratitude is one
OF the most beautiful and spontaneous
OF human virtues. Would il not have
been singularly churlish if the textile
manufacturers of Bradford, the cutlery
makers OF Shetfield, the tin plate men of
Cardlh and the other representatives of
Rritish industries for whose benefit the
Democratic party has been legislating
where to let slip this opportunity to paw
tribute to their chief benefactOr? And
is Chairman Wilson to be blamed be-
cause he finds it agreeable to stretch his
legs under British mahogany, and listen
to the pleasant things which are said
about his throwing down the barriers tn
the extension of British tradeP His
hosts do not understand that their eff.
fusiveness can react disagreeably upon
the political chances of the Democratic
party; and If Mr.. Wilson for the mo.
ment is obliVious to the fact, his forget
tulness does credit to his warm heart.

The Boston Herald is one of the most
subservient of the cuckoo organs, but it
draws the line at the change by this ad-
ministration, of Appomattox to Surren-
der. Here is what it says: 1.-THE
strangest thing about the change of an
historical postoffice designation in Vlr-
ginia is in the substitution which is part
of the proceeding. 1t is bad enough to
lose the name of Appomattox, with
which there is really mighty associa-
tion. No one who had other than the
most prosaically possible sense of prac-
ticality would think of doing it, but to
change it to Surrender is something
near idiotic. No one but an ass would
have thought of such proceeding.
Surrender means nothing but abstract
ignominy, if it is entitled to any signifi-
cation in such connection. 1t is a
term that no community, except COM
munity of blockheads, would adopt for
itself, and is one that none but an out
side blockhead would undertake to fix
upon an unoffending locality. We
heartily join in the protest which this
most obtuse enterprise is arousing in
many quarters" 1t is case of anything
to remove landmarks of Union victories,
with the Bourbon Democracy.

There is just now revival of the
movement to secure postal rates OF one
cent per ounce for letters. The West is
the place from whence the idea is now
propogated. The Hartford Courant is
of the opinion that the success of this
movement would be National misfor-
tune. This is strong term to apply to
it, but it is certain that it would result
in large annual deficit in the Postoffice
Department, which would have to be
made good from the general funds. As
it is, the Postoffice Department is run at
loss, and if the revenue from letter
postage were cut in two, the cost of car
rying the letters, so far as it was not met
by the sale of stamps, would be burden
upon the people. When the Govern
ment does its mail business for less than
cost, the people must foot the bills. 1t
has not been the policy of the Government
to make the postal business a source of
revenue, but to conduct it in such a way
that when the deficit was reduced to a
moderate sum, new facilities might be
afforded to the people. Accordingly we
have had reduced rates, faster mail trains.
more frequent collections and other i'm
provements as rapidly as conditions per-
mitted. The letter rate is now as low as
in other countries, and if distances are
taken into the consideration, much
lower.

WILL BE BEATEN WORSE THAN
MAYNARD,

The nomination of David B. Hill for
Governor of New York has cleared the
atmosphere amazingly and made straight
the paths of all sorts and conditions of
men. Nobody need be in any doubt as
to the call of duty in the coming cam
paign. 1t is well known that Maynard
was tool in the hands of Hill; that
Hill devised the job of stealing the State
Senate by criminal suppression of the
returns of the election in Dutchess
county, and that after the CRIME had
been committed and the proceeds pock-
eted he caused poor Mr.. Flower to ap-
point Maynard judge of the Court of APP
peals and afterward caused the poor
Democratic party to nominate him for
that office and get itself "snowed
under" by the votes of an indignant peo-
pie. Now the impudence and faulty of
the Democratic party in nominating this
man for Governor of the State surpass
belief. Such an act can only be ex-
planned on the hypothesis that the party
organization is thoroughly depraved and
corrupt; that it is a menace to society,
and that no truce or peace with it or its
leaders is possible.
We consider Mr. Hill the most danger
Gus man in American public life. He is
"dare devil' and delights to be consid-
cred as such. He is attractive to Tam
many Hall and all the bosses and bad
elements of society because he represents
what they all aim at and strive for. The
people of New York owe themselves the
duty of putting an end to his unprinci-
pied career and bad example. That they
will do SO in the coming election we
have not the least doubt The majority
against him ought to be larger than that
against Maynard, because he was the
principal where Maynard was only the
puppet and tool.-Evening Post (Cleve-
land Dem.)

Those who hope the Republicans will
control the House of Representatives in
the 54th Congress, and they are many,
can see just what has got to be accom-
plished by the following figures. There
will be 356 members in the next House,
making 179 necessary to control OF
these the Republicans are reasonably as
sured of 12S. In order to obtain control,
then, it will be necessary for them to Sc
cure 81 seats now filled by Democrats.
Although there is some hope of obtaining
few members from the South, notably
in Louisiana, West Virginia, and posi-
bly, in Virginia, yet this is by no means
surety. Apart from these, there are
somewhere about sixty Democrats in the
present congress who were elected by
pluralities of $500 or less, and it is from
these districts the Republicans must Sc
cure the requisite number. Added to
these, there are six districts now repre-
sented by Populist members in which
the Republicans have fighting chance.
1t will be seen, therefore, the Republ-
cans must secure nearly fve-sixths of all
the doubtful seats in order to transfer
the speakers gavel from the hands of
Mr.. Crisp to those of Ex-Speaker Reed,
so that if we win it will need a land
slide or avalanche to enable us to so.

The Democrats of the Rensselaer, Con-

gressional District have renominated
Representative Haines. "And who is
Haines?" says the Telegram. "He is
the statesman who declared that he
would vote for any kind of tariff bill so
long as it accorded protection to collars
and cuffs. He cared nothing for the
rights of the thousands of ironworkers in
the district, he had no sympathies for
the toiling operatives in the knitting
mills, he cared nothing for any of the
other industries injuriously affected by
the Wilson bill. And he voted for protec-
tion for collars and cuffs, not because he
cared picayune for the very many peo-
pie engaged in that branch Of trade, but
because Senator Murphy ordered him so
to do"
