home of Mr.. and Mrs. 5. f. Emerson,
on the Madison road, Saturday evening,
the contracting parties being Ralph w.
Emerson, the oldest son, and Miss Lucy

Great results in electric loeomotion
are predicted, and George Westinghouse
of the Westingh house company is of the
opinion that the reign of the steam
locomotive will not continue much
longer. He believes that under patents
controlled by his company the electric
current can be conveyed to the motor
without the use of the trolley wire or
conduit and slot, and thus it can be
made practicable to operate long lines
with electricity. According to figures
he has just given the directors of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, to show that
electricity as a motive power is not so
expensive as steam, they are throwing
away 4,0000 600 tons of coal every year
10y using steam locomotives.

An official statistician has recently
prepared a report which shows that the
wages of men servants in England, in
GLIDING, buffers, Wallets, coachmen, foot
men, grooms and the like, run from $50
to 500 year, the average being about
$lQj: and women servants receive from
$40 TO $50 a year the average being
$12j. The rates of pay for similar serv-
ice are considerably higher in the United
States ranging from 500 to 500 for
men and from 500 to $500 for women.
The American servants have lighter
duties and enjoy more liberty than those
of England, and it may truthfully be
added are much harder to find.

MAY WATT ANOTHER YEAR. (

4 I. Y
AS the census work draws to a
close Il peculiar provision OF the
new law is discovered which may
necessitate continuance fora year
and half longer of the secrecy
which has thus far shrouded census
matters. The law provides that
the first intimation the public shall
receive must come from the report
of the secretary of state which will
be made to the Legislature in 1897.
This will be a long wait and one
to which the people are not liable
to patiently submit. Mile Laos
county, for example, feels conf
dent that it's population has doub-
led in the last five years, and the
increase in the oldest settled por-
ton, namely Princeton village, of
approximately 50 per cent seems
to give good grounds for this be-
lief when the unsettled condition
of the lake country in 1890 is con
sidered. This growth will proba-
bly, call for a division into a greater
number of precincts than before
and matters of representation will
also be based on this. Besides
this, it would be gratifying to
know exactly what our increase is.
+ Secretary Berg is studying the
law carefully now and hopes to be
able to enlighten the people or
this question by issuing bulletins
as the work of completing The
totals progresses and still comply
with the law. It is to be hoped
that such a way may be discovered
and thus do away with this tedious
and uncalled for delay.

Il NEW PENSION POLICY.

The dissatisfaction of the old
soldiers is increasing instead of de-
creasing and the boys speak IN no
uncertain terms of the regard in
which they hold the officials of the
present administration who are
making a ''record" in pension mat
ters. They are beginning to be-
leve that the administration is try
ing to deceive them and the gen
eral public by creating an impress
sion that larger number of pen
sions are being allowed than is
really the case. The daily reports
from the pension bureau give lists
of names to whom pensions have
been allowed but no mention is
made Of those pension claims which
are subsequently disallowed by the
commission. This gives grounds
for the suspicion that the present
officials are hoodwinking the G..
A. R. element and the general
public.
Several such cases have attracted
attention in the adjutant generals
office and a query as to why the
government should allow a man a
pension one day and take it from
him the next day brought reply
that the rejection was the work of
the board of review. If the. gov
eminent isn't trying to deceive
people as to it's pension policy
why should the pension be pub
lished as allowed before the claim
has passed the investigating board?
Col. Bevans, assistant adjutant
general, in an interview with a
Minneapolis Journal reporter who
was investigating the matter, said:
The most deplorable feature in the
whole business is the false hope with
which it fills the breasts of these old
men. Word comes from Washington
that their claims have been allowed.
They see it first in the newspapers, and
next the official notification arrives.
On the strength Of the governments
promise, in many instances, debts are
contracted and various obligations in
Cured which cannot be met, and the
old soldier is worse off than if he had
not made application. I, believe that
if it is ever the intention of the govern.
ment to reject a. claim, the fact should
be made known promptly. When the
announcement comes that claim has
been allowed, that announcement ought
to settle the matter for all time. L
, the board of review, or any Other
board, is to sit in judgment upon thu
work of the pension department., i
/ should be before a claim has been al
, lowed, or at least before notice of tn,
5 allowance has come to the public or tn,

Reckless Generosity.

The practice Of Legislative
bodies making appropriations to
newspaper reporters and public
employees who are paid regular
wages was carried to extremes by
the Legislature Of Connecticut,
which adjourned recently, says the
Baltimore Sun. Besides gratui-
ties Of over So, 900 to the reporters,
the members voted money to
messengers, doorkeepers, cloak
room attendants and employees IN
general. Not only this, but they
made an appropriation Of $50 to
each of two bootblacks who have a
stand in the capitol at Hartford,
and $25 to each of the three news
boys who sell newspapers there.
This reckless generosity on the
part of the Connecticut Legislature
cost the State 100000 in the ag.
gregate. Can anyone tell what
similar appropriations last winter
cost the State of Minnesota?-Dat
