The Montana Supreme Court says there
was bribery In the election of William A.
Clark to the Senate. This is indirectly
victory for Marcus DAILY in his never ceas-
ing fight upon Clark, but it is not a decis-
i've victory. 1t remains to be seen what
the Senate Is going to do about it. Mean
time, it looks as if the Montana Supreme
Court had rolled big stumbling block in
the way of Clark's political progress.

Gen. Sir Redvers Butler is a rich man
and a gourmet-indeed. some say a gour-
mand. Before leaving England, it is said,
his chef planned for him different din
ner daily for three months, the menus COM
prising the rarest and costliest delicacies
the French and English markets could pro
vide. Each dinner was packed in a sep
arate case the covers bearing the dates
on which they were to be eaten. And the
chef has been instructed to keep on pro-
viding the general with a daily feast as
long as he remains in South Africa. Since
Butler works hard and is unquestionably
an able man, he probably has right to
feast at each dinner time II he cares TO.

One of the most disreputable stories that
ever came out of Madrid was that in the
dispatches of a few days ago to the effect
that the Filipino junta" in that city had
information that Gen. Lawton was not
shot by FYlipinos, but by his own troops.
II is risking nothing TO say that the story
is a faIsehood made out of the whole
cloth and that the originators of it were
instigated by malice when they gave it
currency.

THE MORNING NEWS TUESDAY, DECEMBER %. 1885,

Newspaper readers viii remember that
some months ago. man of the name of
Jacobs was arrested at Lancaster, Pa.
for using counterfeit internal revenue
stamps on cigars. He operated a large
cigar factory. When he was arrested and
put into jail his works were closed down
and his workmen thrown out of employ
ment. A unique claim has grown out of
the circumstance. The factory hands de-
mand that the government shall not only
pay them the wages that were due them
by Jacobs at the time of the seizure OF
his factory, but shall indemnify them for
being thrown out OF employment. A bill
for their relief is to be introduced into
Congress, alleging that they were innocent
parties and should not be permitted 20
suffer for another's rascalty. This, it is
said, is the first time that the government
has ever been asked 10 pay the liabilities
Of a man arrested for crime.

The Chicago Times-Herald ought never
again print word in criticism of those
who, according TO its way of thinking,
insist that 80 cents worth of silver makes
a dollar. The Times Herald continues to
declare that ninety-niue years make
century. There is room for argument on
the silver question, but none on the ques-
ton of whether the completion of eighteen
hundred and ninety-nine years or of nine
teen hundred years ends the century.

PENsIONs FOR EMPLoYEs.

Beginning the first day of January next
the Pennsylvania Railroad will put into
operation system of pensioning its en-
ployes, retiring them upon basis of age
and length of service. The new departure
will be watched with interest throughout
the railroad world and with especial in
terest in this Fart of the country, since it
was the Pennsylvania Railroad which orig
mated the relief and hospital service
scheme which has been adopted by the
Plant System. Should the pension pan be
found to work to the satisfaction of COR.
poration and employees, it is possible that
il also would be adopted by other railroad
systems The pension plan as contemplated
by the Pennsylvania differs from the re-
lief and hospital plan in that the fund for
the lat er is made up by the employees
while the money for the former is a gra-
tuity from the company. The Pennsyl-
vania corporation proposes that lis total
of pension payments snail be not more
than 100000 a year. and when the pay
ments under the plan adopted aggregate
more than that sum, there must be read
justment of benefits upon such basis as
will bring the total of payments within
the sum specified.
The retirement age is fixed at 20 years
the officer or empFoye to be retired and
pensioped on the first day of the month
following the attainment Of that age, and
the minimum pension-for-sarvic limit is
thirty years. The rate of pens on is fixed
thus: For each year of service per cent.
of the average regular monthly pay for
the ten years proceeding Retirement BY
way of Illustration if an employe has been
i'm the employ of the company for forty
years and has received on an average SD
per month in regular wages, his pension
would he 10 per cent of $40, or SIG per
month. Persons so pensicned may continue
TO receive benefits from the relief and hos
pital service, in the class TO which they
subscribed. An age ,imit for taking new
employees into the service is fixed, that
limit being thirty-five years. The receipt
of pensions will not disbar ex-employes
from engaging in other business but they
may not again enter The railroads ser
vice. 1t is believed that the number of
employees who will so on the retired LIST
during the first wear of the operation of
the scheme will be not less than $50
though the maximum of payments contem-
plated viii not be reached for some time

West river attracted the attention of Mr..
Eaton while they were driving to the
Balestier farm. Mr. Eaton, with his keen
insight, realized that it could be made an
ideal summer home. He bought it that
fall, remodeled the house, built a new
barn and improved the grounds. He
moved to the place the next summer, 1878,
with Chas. Eaton, his cousin, to superin-
tend his farm. Mr.. Mixer, the present
farmer, began work as farm hand the
spring of 1879 and at Chas. Eaton's death
in 1888, Mr. Eaton carried out his civil
service principles by promoting Mr.. Mixer
to the position of superintendent of the
farm, in which position he has remained
every since.
Mr. Eaton's wishes were carried cut In
his funeral and burial services. The fune-
raj at his New York home Sunday evening
was beautiful service. Many noted peo-
