According to Mr. Bently, the predecessor of the preseut commissioner of ponsions, “not less than ten per cent. of the pensions appropriations are paid out upon fraudulent and illegal claims,” 80 that if the hundred million dollars now demanded are voted one-tenth of that sum will be stolen, Who are these fraudulent pensioners? Ts there no way to detect theso bogus claim- ants who have been fastened on the treasury by the pension ring? The plan we ll)g“tlnh}ll some time ago of prm!mg and posting the names of all pensioners in each pension district would, we believe, help to unearth these frauds, Tho ten millions that it is estimated will be lost the next fiscal year would go far toward restor- ingour wretched navy. —N.

Thero scoms to be 1o prospect for the repeal of the arrears of pensions steal which has been taken advantage of by pension sharks and bogus sol- diers to rob this government of over ten millions of dollars a year. Still a thorough local supervision of the pen sion lists would result in the saving of | many millions of dollars to the national treasury if preceded by a law requiring the taking of testimony on the spot where the petitioner for pen- sions resides. The ex parte tbstimony feature of the pension business has been the most fruitful elements of fraud and ought at once to be abol- ished.

The conviction of the assassin Gui- teau will send a feeling of relief throughout the country Tt strong commentary on the distrust of is a | justice by jury that there should ever have been any doubt of the result of the trial of the cowardly murdered of Prosident Garfield. The well-known saying of a distinguished pleader that not even the foreknowledge of the Creator's could reach the action of a petit jury, very well expresses that To this was added a trial | unusually lengthy and tedious, bur. testimony disgraced by the most shameful and technical and grotesque interruptions on the part of the prisoner and his counsel. The en tire country has every reason to con- gratulate itself that justice did no miscarry and that through the ver- dict of guilty the murderer of the late President Garfield will meet with the just rotribution of an appalling erime. The great will long remain one of the “‘distinguished ocases” of American criminal annals. Tt will be particularly important from the line trial of defense adopted by the counsel for the prisoner, the great amount of expert imony upon mental disease and the decisions of the judge aa to what constitutes moral ireespon- wibility. From out of the conflicting positions of the counsel, the contradic- tory opinions of the experts and the general testimony comes clearly the definition of murderous insanity as given by the court, viz. “‘Such disturbance of the mental pow- mass of ers as rendered the posscssor incapa- blo of distinguishing between right and wrong when committing his of- fonse.” This definition is not all new in the logal reports. But it affirma- tion in the Guiteau case will do much to render it more operative in subse- quent trials when the well worn plea of emotional insanity is urged as an excuse for cold blooded murder. Another important office has been served by the trial just brought to a The interminable duplication of oxvert testimony, and the endless ropetitions of the same subjoct matter by witnesses s likely to call attention to the necessity of a reform in the mothod of securing and, cloac, introducing inour courts the testimony of ex perts. In France the court appoints a commission for the purpose of test g the mental responsibility of the accused, and they alone testify as to the of their becoming a serious question result inquiry. It is whether the ends of justice would not be bet- ter subserved by some such method in our own courts, and whether the wul- tiplication of expert testimony, whose only object seoms to be to confuse the minds of judge and jury, growing evil in our legalsystem which is not a calls for some immediate remedy. But with all the failings of the trial of Guiteau, with its horrible comedy of a prisoner daily abusing the court and blackguarding the opposing coun- sel and playing the blasphemous har- loquin over the fresh made grave of his victim, the American people have cause for congratulation that even with such strong inducements for going beyonds the bounds of law the law has yet been permitted to take its That such has been the caso at once relieves our country of the which would certainly have rested upon it had the attempts to wsful.

The heaviest decline in our national exports for the past year was in the line of breadstufls, According to the recently published report of the bu reau of statistics the valuation of ex- ports amounted to §224,118,660, while in 1880 they ran up to §2756,056,859, a ,818,200 against 1880, The tables show a falling off in overy difforence of article oxcept 404,381 and corn meal, of which barrels were exported in 1881 6,240 in 1880 The oxport of barley in 1881 wus 223,004 bushols against 1,247 609 in 1880 Indian corn foll oft from 113 65! ) bushels m 1880 to 72,474,401 bushels last year; ryo fell from 2 208 to 985, 007 bushels.

Here every- body seems to be busy, so we join in the regular rush and call on a few old subscribers of I'me Ber. They all want it continued and say they can’t do without it, and they back their ideas with their pocketbooks when their subscriptions are due. This town, though small, is one of the most energetic towns I have seen. Everybody is busy- no one has time to waste talking unless the conversa- tion means somethin Another feature here is the com- paratively large number of pretty |, youvg ladics. The writer 18 very wuch addicted to noticing young ladies, but one would lave to be blind to fail to appreciate the claims of DeWitt in this direc- tion. The amount of money received at this station for freight received and shipped during 1881 was $41,948 34. We think this as good a showing as any town of its size in the state. DeWitt’s prospects are really very fine. Surrounded by as good a region of country as lays *‘out of doors,” and that country being naturally tributary toit, and being settled by o very pros- perous and encreetic set of people, the town is bound 1o grow.
