..Editor.
An Additional Merit.
The New York Evening Post
thinks that even if Cannon, of
Utah, is not allowed to remain in
Congress, he will be much better
fitted to retire from private life
than a man with only one wife.
He has so much consolation to fall
back upon, so many partners in his
grief. He can find plenty of sym
pathy under newspaper attacks.
The encouragement of . three or
four wives enables a public man
not only to bear up against it, but
to treat it with indifference.
Moreover, when a polygamist is
sent back to private life, he does
not suffer from want of legislative
practice. "He finds in his own
household, full demand for nearly
all those moral and intellectual
qualities which go to make the
successful legislator or judge the
tact, the self-control, the knowl
edge of. human nature, the percep
tion of remoter consequences, the
skill in weighing evidence, in rec
onciling conflicting interests, and
in unraveling the meshes of long
and complicated reports and nara
tives, which are called for in the
leadership of the House or the
management of a great department
of state. In fact, the polygamist's
domestic life can hardly be called
private life. It has so many of
the incidents and most of the re
sponsibilities of public life." Tiius
the Post proves also that polyga
mists will make the best legisla
tors and statesmen. Tiiey would
come to Congress already equipped
with legislative experience. In
stead of wasting two or three
terms in learning the business of
legislating and governing, they
would be prepared for their duties.
Instead, therefore, of expelling
polygamists, Congress .ought, in
the Post's theory, to make polyg
amy one of the qualifications for
office-holding and election.
The inquiry of the Senate re
lative to the general nature of the
frauds practiced upon the Pension
Bureau is answered by a report of
Commissioner Dudley, which
shows that since July 1, 1S7G,
there have been investigated 9608
cases, out of which the names of
2,188 pensioners were dropped
from the rolls and 1,975 pending
claims were rejected. There grew
out of those investigations 581
criminal prosecutions, which re
sulted in 20G indictments and 169
convictions. In this period 295
attorneys were suspended from'
practice before the department, G4
debarred, 113 disbarred and 169
dropped. Taking up 500 cases
in which tho evidence of fraud
seemed strongest, 232 being cases
of invalids and 2G8 of widows or
dependent relatives, it is shown
that in these cases 2,538 false affi
davits were made by civilians, 252
by comrades and 380 by officers.
In these cases there were 113
forgeries.
TnE State of Pennsylvania
claims from the Standard Oil
Company no less than 3,145,000
for taxes. The Company's coun
sel admits that its dividends for
seven years were over 20,000,000,
and that its assets aggregate
30,000,000. The question is
whether the State has power to
tax the entire capital stock of an
inter-State corporation.
The oldest bank in the United
States is the Bank of North Amer
ica in Philadelphia which began
operations on January 7, 17S2.
Among the oldest banks- is the
Massachusetts National Bank 'in
Boston which was incorporated in
1784, and is -therefore only two
years younger than the Bank of
North America.

Passed tho House.
The Chinese- bill passed the'
House of Representatives last!
mi i i - .- i
i. uursaay oy a vote ot 107 yeas
to G5 nays, and for twenty years
none but certain privileged classes
of Mongolians can emigrate to the
United States. It was a necessary
measure and.it is a matter of con
gratulation to every one who be
lieves in the perpetuity of Ameri
can institutions, that the bill did
pass. Of tbe 107 that voted for
its passage 9S were Democrats
nnd GO Republicans. Of the G7
that voted against it 5 were Demo
crats and G2 were Republicans.
The Senate Committee on Com
merce determined, without a dis
senting voice, to report favorably
to the Senate the bill for a ship rail
way across the Isthmus of Tchuau
tepec, commonly called the Eads
bill. This committee was com
posed of nine members, fiv(lo-i
publicans and four Democrats, all J
of whom, except oife, were present
and agreed to the" report. This
action of so important a commit
tee will draw the attention of the
country to the merits of the meas
ure. In the face of it, the usual
slurs upon Captain Eads and the
enterprises which he has hereto
fore successfully conducted will
be voted out of order. The re
port puts the enemies of the pro-
ject upon the defensive and de
volves upon them tho duty of
showing that the ship railway is
either impracticable or that there
is some constitutional reason whv
its building should not be aided
bv Congress.
Two clergymen of Fauqier, Va.,
went into court with their depu
ties as to the ownership of a three
dollar calf. Each owned a cow
which, he claimed was the mother
of the calf. The Justice went with
the jury and litigants to a pasture,
where the cows were let loose for
the youngster to choose between;
and the question was so quickly
and unmistakably settled by the
brutes that the jury gave a verdict
without further hesitation.
Since January 1, 1881, there
have arrived m San Francisco
23,401 Chinese, while only 8,000
have returned to China, This
shows a net increase of nearly
16,000. They are coming as fast
as possible in anticipation of the
restriction which but awaits the
President's signature to be the
law.
