had him arrested IN Carson last week
on "a charge Of insanity. His exam.
ination took place bcfoTcJudgc Mack
last Saturday and several witnesses
testified to the queer actions Of LANCE
win since the lIcncy trial. Langcyin
told the Court OF the prosecutions he
he'd suffered at tho hands Of tho
Water Co. and hoOdlums OF Carson.
Ex-Governor Adams, Judge lIawlcy
and others testified To Langevim's
sanity, and Drs. lIcrrick and Fox
sworc that they had not sufficient owl.
dcncc to warrant LaDgcviD being
held. At the conclusion Of the cyi.
dcncc, Judge Mack promptly dis
charged Langcvin and took occasion
to Say that he considered il Il disgrace
to those who had annoyed Langcvin.
Tho evidence, as published in the
Appeal, reveals II statc Of affairs that
should bring tho blush OF shame to
every honorable man and woman in
Carson. The decent citizens Of tho
Capital city owo il not only To their
~ good name, but to the people OF
tho whole State, to put II stop to these
d"isgraccful proceedings ut once. IL
tho proper authorities will not do it,

Tho arrest of Langcyin on the
charge OF insanity had u deep laid
scheme behind il. IL Judge Muck
had committed Langcvim to the nay
lum, his testimony would have been
stricken out OF the Mint caso and been
OF no use in the contempt eases, says
the Appeal.
Baked in this desperate move,
what will tho Mint gang do next?
Tho Government should SEQ to it that

Congressional

WASHINGTON, January IA bill
granting a pension OF SO monthly to
the widow of the late Brigadier Cen
eral Coggswell, n Representative in
Congress from Massachusetts, at the
time Of his death, caused n long de-
bate in the Senate to. day. Hill and
Mills wanted information us to the
system pursued in granting these
special pensions. Allen opposed dis.
I ordinations.
He said: al want to go on record
as opposed to any distinction be-
tween the widows of private soldiers
and those of br;sadier generals,
major generals or any otile s.gcnerals.
1T was the plain private soldier"
he added, @who met Tie bsnnt Of war.
To hear Senators talk, It would be
thought that the brigad.er generals
won the war. 1t was Il species OF
OF namby pambyism and funkeyism
this un-American discrimination
Hawley suggested that the world
recognized questions Of rank even il
the Nebraska Senator did not, and
while e~ulogizing the plain soldier, he
pointed out that mortality among
officers was greater than that among
the men i'll the ranks.
Hoar asked il Aliens logic would
lead him to approve the placing OF
the salary Of General Miles, Com
mander OF the Army at s13 per
month. 1T would doubtless measure
the value Of his service i'll many cas-
es,' answered Allen.
The Coggswell Pension bill passed
without an amendment, the motion OF
Allen to reduce the pension to $50
a month being supported by most OF
the Democrats.
HoUSE.
The House took up the Pension APP.
preparation bill immediately on con
vening. Northway replied to the
criticism offered by Bartlett yester.
day. 1t mattered not to him whether
the pensions were legal gratuities or
constituted vested rights. Morally,
they were higher than vested rights
could be. Pensions should be given
in a broad Catholic. humane spirit.
The spirit in which the pension laws
were being administered was mani
testify %unfriendly to the soldiers. In
proof OF this he cited the case of a sol.
dier who lost M arm and one leg,
who was deprived of his pension IN
der Total Disability Act of 1890 be-
cause he was able 10 earn SD a month

HOW's THIS. Barnard?

The Boston Globes St. Adams
correspondent comments as follows
on the county commissioners report
showing the value of liquor sold by
the town agents for the quarter end
ing Dec. 1:
The population of Windsor coun-
ty II 3I,7oo, but it will be observed
that the towns of Andover, Balti-
more, Norwich, Plymouth, Sharon,
Stockbrldge, Weathersfield and West
Windsor are not included in the re-
port, which would reduce the popu-
lation sold to bv the town agents to
s5,79o.
On this basis all the town agents
averaged to sell during the three
months - cents worth of liquor to
each of 1890 inhabitants. The
agent at Ludlow sold Al cents
worth, the agent at Weston sold AZ
cents worth and the agent at Bar
nard sold on an average g cents
worth of liquor to every man,
woman and child in the place for
three months, or an average of S.. IL
worth for the year.
The question naturally suggests
itself whether in a town with oIS
inhabitants an average of $2.I2
worth of liquor per capita would be
used for mechanical and medicinal
purposes during the year.
