Kev. John R. Paxton was pastor of the leading Presbyterian church in Washington, but now he knows not where he belongs. He accepted a call to one of the New York churches, but afterward retracted his acceptance. His old congregation increased his salary to $6,500, allows him four month vacation and $1,000 for expenses, bat still he is not happy.

FOB ALASKA.
The sub-committee on electioBB have reported to the full committee cm elections in favor of admitting to a eeat M. D. Ball, who claim* to be a delegate to congrtsd from the territory of Alaska. The report is lengthy and elaborate. The committee in tabgtance find that when the United Stales purchased Alaska in 1867, it by treaty in plain terms gave all the inhabitants a right to continue their allegiance to EaE&ia for three years and at tbe end cf that time fo leave the country, or if they chose to remain, giving them ail the rights, immunities nod privileges, social and political, of citizens of the United States. As this was an absolute and unconditional pledge, congress has no right to refuse a seat to a delegate eent by the people of that country. The report reviews the extent and richness oi the so-called territory, and dwells upon the magnitude of the interests for which the people demand protection. As a precedent for their actioa the committee quote the case of James White, who, in the third congress, in 1794, prseented his credentials as the delegate from all the territory west of the Ohio river, and ws« subsequently admitted.
Whether Mr. Ball will pull through the full committee remains to be eeen, but even should his caee be reported favorably to the house it is very doubtful that he will there be able to secure favorable action. As yet
Alaska
in without a
territorial form of government. Its name does not appear in the list of territories. Ia 1880 its census showed the following population: White, 392 Creoles (issue of intermarriages between the whites and natives), 1,683 Aleut*, 1,060 Iouuits, 17,488 Indians, 8,G55 total, 30,178. When the United S ates took possession of it the white population was said to be 8,000. The estimate was either much too high or the population has decreased very rapidly in the last fifteen years. A white population of 392 to an area of 500,000 square miler, is net very large. If Mr. Ball has no olfactions he might furnish some information as to the manner of his election, the number cf
votiDg
precincts in
tbe territoiy, the number of votes cast
for
him, who gave him his certificate of ejection, aad other minor details. If the interests of Alaska are demanding protection they can ba guarded better by an increase of population than by a membor of Congress. When it was purchased by this country there was loud talk concerning its natural resources. The ecientific explorers eent out reported 7,800 miles of sea coast thickly studded with pine forests whose timber was batter for any purpose than any which could be found anywhere. Its mean temperature is warmer than the central portion cf Norway, and its average rainfall is six inches less than Astoria at the mouth of Columbia river. The explorers reported that the great value of the territory consists in the immenss banks of coal, the woods, the furs, and the deposits of coal which were found close to navigable waters^ and which by analysis proved superior to any bituminous on tne Pacific. It seems then that Alaska i3 only lacking in population to make it a great countiy. It is more necessary at the present time that it should have representatives within its boundaries than in the halls of congress. If Mr. Ball succeeds in his aspirations ha would represent a vast territory without population. Perhaps he could du Alaska more good in tbe United StateB as an emigration agent than a member of congress. If he has the interest of his very few constituents at heart he should gite this matter his serious consideration.
In the eyes of the average democratic politician, the only time to cut down the salaries of officeholders is when the republicans are in power, That being tho case at present Congressman Warner, of Tennessee, has mounted the economy hobby and struck for a general demolition of salaries. He has introduced a bill which reduces the president's salary from £50,000 to §30,000 per annum each cabinet officer is reduced from $8,000 to to $7,000 the assistant pecrctariea of state, the interior and treasury departmsnts are each reduccd $500 per annum, the speaker cf the hcufe from $8,000 to §7,000. In the general sweep he includes senators and representative?, whose salary he thinks should be $4,000 instead of $5,000. The associate justices of the supreme court are each reduced to S9,000 per annum, and the chief justice from $10,500 to $9,500. The bill does not, however, affect the mileage of senators and representatives, nor the $125 for stationery, Bor yet tbe f. anking privilege as now fixed by law. Of course Mr. Warner b:is tot the remoteet idea that his bill will pass. If he had it would never have been introduced. He merely wants to make to bis constituents a show of economy which can be used to his advantage in future political campaigns.
It has taken them a long time to do it, but tho farmers of southern Minnesota have at last discovered that the monotou* riD'.l iucefs-ent production cf wheat frr yejr to year frcm the same ground will r.ot work, even upon tha extraordinary soil with which nature has favored them. The wheat producing capacity has bteu very materially impaired, and by force of neccpsitv the wheat growers have been obliged to seed down their lands in gras3 and go to etock raising. Our Indiana farmers should take advant&ge of the txperience of their Minnesota brethren and pay some attention to the rotation of crops ss a means of keeping up the producing qualities of the soil.
Fred. Faust, a young man who was stricken with the smallpox, in Terre Haute, recently, died at the pest house in that city, last Saturday morning.

tiiis Tear I8S1 a Very Disastrous Tear for tile Tire Insurance Companies. Special Lifpatch to Cincinnati Cazette.
NEW YORK, January 29.—The Herald says The year 1881 was a particularly disastrous one for the business of the fire insurance underwriters. There were 350 fires in this country during the first eleven months of the year, at which the average loss was $145,000, and at not one of these fires
WHS
the lose lens than $50,000. In
December the aggregate losses by fire were estimated by insurance men at no less than $10,000,000. Taking into consideration the fires at which losses were less than $50,000. it was tEiimated that not less than $100,000,000 worth of property was destrovtd in the United States during the year 1S81.
Such being the case, it was expected that, considering the extremely low rntes current, many email companies of this State would withdraw from business, and this has been the
caea
to a large extent.
Over a dozen American companies have retired. The State has at present 132 fire insurance companies as against 176 in 1874, and the prediction by a veteran underwriter is that unless some change takes place in the system of undercutting one another, 1882 will be a still more disastrous year. This time, however, the gentleman in question believes that the 1-irge companies will be the ones to suffer, the fight affecting them more than the smaller companies, whose business is of a conservative character, many of thtm having refused to write policies upon the terms accepted by large companies, which, with heavy expense, must have the business and run the risk or "go to the wall."
The low rates are not to be attributed altogether to the cnarp competition of the foreign companies. The larger American companies, it is said, urge a tort of war of extermination against their smaller rivals, and it is the smaller ones that have thus far been the sufferers.
The latest company to go under io the Commercial Mutual Marine and Fire, of this city. It has ju?t retired from business alter reinsuring its risks in the Royal Fire Insurance Company cf Liverpool, one of the foreign companies who bid higher than any other, the risks of the retiring company being considered the most desirable class, principally upon dwellings in this city aud Brooklyn.
An officer of the Commercial Mutual said that it would continue the marine business, snd at the office of the Royal it was elated the business reinsured averaged about $35,000 annual premiums, and when inquiry was made as to whether the discount given was 35 per eent., as currently reported, the reply was that it was much lsss than that figure.
A leading underwriter said that the State Superintendent's annual report would not show the condition of American companies without a knowledge of the methods of insurance bookkeeping. The uninitiated might think that a company was losing heavily, when a3 a matter of fact it was making money. He did not believe that tha English companies are doing any belter than the American, and he could explain their persistency in seeking business here at very low rates on the theory that the insurance business is more demoralized on the other side of the Atlantic than hero.
American AgricuISural Association. NEW YORK, February 1.—The first annual convention of the American Agricultural Association convened o-day with about seventy delegates present from different sections of the United States. President Sprague delivered the annual address, aad spoke at length on agricultural topics, comparing this country with other countries, and showed that the United Stairs led in point of production.

Tbe men were conveyed to the Charity Hoapital, where Hast's mangled limb was amputated a little above the wound. Zoesky's left leg will be amputated to-morrow.

RECOKSTRT'CTION .OF TKE NAVY. WASHINGTON, February i.—The subcommittee of the House Committee on Naval Affairs is devoting daily sessions to the consideration of the various questions presented in the report of the Advisory Board on the construction of thirty-seven vessels of war. The weight of opinion thus far is decidedly in favor of the construction of steel ships, and steel gens of six inch csiibre. Mr. Parke, xf Pittsburg, says the facilities of the steel works of this country for supplying Rteel plates for ships is a daily supply of 100 tons. Naval officers favor the construction of small light war vessels rather than unwieldy armored vessels, and six and eight inch guns, rathsr than guns of large caliber.
THE COST OF PENSIONS.
The Commissioner cf Pensions, in reply to the House rasolutiou calling for information as to what amount of appropriation would be required annually to pay pensions during the next twenty-five years, based on the following condition?: if all claims for pensions arising from the war of the rebellion shall be adjudicated within a seven years period, terminating on June 30th, 1888, and if -at the end of that period the survivors of the war with Mexico and their widows shall thfn ba pensioned st per month. The Commissioner estimates the smoiint required for the twen-ty-five years ending with 1906 at $1,347,651,593, of which $1,264,229,977 are rebellion claims, filed prior to June 30, 1880 $31,500,000 rebellion claims, filed after June 30, 1880, and $51,921,616 Mexican war claims. The amounts grow gradually less annually, from $62,000,000 to £23,000,000.

SOME TREASURY MATTERS. It is a singular fact that in the column of the debt in which interest haa ceased may be foucd bondR that ceased bearing interest as far back as 1864. There are, however, but $20,000 outstanding of this class of bonds, and it is probable that the greater portion of
thi3
amount
has
been lost
or destroy d. Of the 6 per cent, bonds known as usols of 1867, the interest cn which ceiled April 1st, 1879, there is outstanding, including interest, about $1,200,000, and of the 5 per cent, funded loan, interest on vhich ceased last May, there is outstanding nearly S3,000,000. Why the holders of these bonds do not present them for payment is a mystery that cannot be c-xpiained.
There is a remarkable increase in the number of silver dollars on hand, compared with January 1st. There is now in the Treasury nearly $72,500,000 of these silver pieces, against $68,000,000 on January 1st, an increase of $4,400,000. Silver certificates now outstanding amount to$61,357,640, an increase for the month of $1,800,000. Fractional silver coins on hand tshow an increaee of nearly $1,000,000. In gold coin and gold bullion the decrease for the month ia $13,000,000, while the increase in United States and National Bank notes is $5,000,000.
Keceipti for January, compared with the same month last year, are shown by the following Customs—18S1, $14,575,280- 1881, $18,082,774. Internal revenu'e—1882, $10,247,343 1882, $10,935,388. Miscellaneous—1881, $4,649,84 1882, $4,425,475. Total—1881, $29,473,-070-1882, $33,444,137. Ordinary expenditures last month, $12,800,000, against $13,500,000 for January last year.

AN VNPAVOKV IDEA.
WASHINGTON, Ftbrurry 1.— vSooville, ftferring to the revival of the ftory lhat be had'eousented to the exhibition of Guiteau's body lor the purposes of speculation, says It is for Guireau's brother and sister to determine what shall be done with the body. If they should consent to the proposition, it would be upv:n condition that a post mortem examination of the brain first b« made, to determined beyond a doubt the disputed question whether or nut he has any diseased brain. The proceeds of ?uch exhibition would be used by ths family in ppyins Guiteau's debts, and the remainder, if any, be devoted to the amelioration of the condition of the insane cr tbe advancement of the anticapital punishment theory. It would be next to impossible to protect the remains from tha body-snatchers they would have far more incentive to steal his remains than those of A. T. Stewart, and il the remains can bs made to subserve some worthy philanthrophy it seems to me far better to dirpose of them in this way." Scoville says he has received a few small contributions in answor to his appeal. It i3 the general opinion that Scoville will abandon the case if his motion is denied by Judge Cox on Friday.

The Sun's light is for mankind and womankind of every sort: but its genial warmth Is for the good, while it pours hot discomfort on the blistering backs 01 ihe persistently wicked.
The Sun of 1S68 wes a newspaper of anew kind. It discarded many of tliu lorms, and a multitude of the supeiflnui v.'ords and phrases of ancient journalism. It undertook to report In a fresh, succinct, unconventional way all the news of the world, omiltinz t.o event of human Interest, and commenting MIMI clui'RK with the fearlessness of absolute Independence. The success of this experiment w.is the succors of It effected a permanent cliaiige in the style of American newspapers.

In politics we have decided opinion? and ere accustomed to express them in language that can be understood, we say what wo think abou men and eventa. That habit the only crets the Sun's political eoi THO
