THE Boss TWEED OF this city shows his
appreciation of workingmen by the way he
fixes the pay of men in the employ of the
city Mr.. Bergman, the street commits.
sioner. is a competent mechanic, and has I'M
der his control gang of prisoners who work
on the streets. This is a responsible position,
requiring a man of GOODNESS and Judgment,
and yet Mr.. Bergman is allowed salary of
only $50 a month. Again, the safety Of
property and almost the lives Of citizens de
pend upon having competent man for en-
gincer Of the fire department. Here again
the Boss shows his appreciation of mechaui
cal skill AMI ability. c. F. Kraft, chief en-
gincer, has held the position for years has
discharged his duties with rare fidelity, and
is known to be entirely competent, yet his
salary is cut down to $50 a month. Now
we come to the idlers, whose chief duty is to
exhibit themselves on the sidewalks and at
tract the attention of school girls by the cx-
hiiit:on of glittcring ''stars." Here the
heart of oar Boss Tweed expands, and he
liberally allows his ''pets to draw pay at
the rate of So month from the city treas
ury. The case then stands TINS Engineers
and competent mechanics, under our model
city government, are required to work for
the lowest possible pay, whilst idlers and
droncs upon society are literally rewarded
Tor doing nothing This liberallty has been
already explained. These oilers can afford
TO divide their pay with the Boss, while such
men as EcrryInan aud Kraft, knowing their
own ability, refuse to divide" This is The
condition Of atIairs. as managed by Boss
/ Tweed, and this is what the city attorney,
himself an old veteran, terms wise aud
iulcions nse cf public money.

A HAPPY UNIoN-The marriage of Lieut.
J. w. Duncan, Twenty-frst infantry, and
Miss Catherine A. Keefer paymaster U. S.
army, was one of the most pleasant events
of the season. Lieut.. Duncan is son OF
General Thomas Duncan, U. S. A., and a
grandson of the late Hon. Joseph ]. Wilson,
formercommissionerof the generallan Office
The bride is near relative of the Cameron
family OF Pennsylvania. The ceremonies were
conducted in a quiet manner, only the rela-
tives and garrison friends being present
The happy pair were attended by Miss
Edith, sister of the bride, ard Lieut. Edward
Farrow, Twenty-first infantry. The brides
maid and Lieut. Farrow first entered the
room, which was beautifully decorated with
flags and flowers, followed by the bride and
her father, the bridegroom and the brides
mother, and the other members of the fam
lily. In the happy moments that followed,
the Rev. J. D. McConkey, Of the Episcopal
church, performed the marriage ceremony
and pronounced the two man and wife.
Congratulations were rendered, followed by
music by the post band Then social chat,
and the friends withdrew to their homes.
The bride wore white swiss andsatin trimmed
with orange blossoms, and looked one of the
lovcliest of Ewes daughters. The officers
appeared in full dress. For young officer,
Lieut. Duncan has seen much active service
His services rendered in the Nez Perce and
in the recent Indian war are duly appreci-
ated, and now he meets his reward. "None
but the brave deserve the fair " is truth in
this case fully sustained. All left the house
in happiness, some reviving their happy days.
others wondering when they might so and
do likewise. That perfect Joy and happi-
ness may ever attend them is the heartfelt
wish of their many sincere friends.
The post band serenaded the happy pair
with the following exquisite pieces, under
the superintendent of the band master, Mr.
Louis Bracht: "Soldier of Fortune >.
National Potpourri :" g. Waltz" Blue
Danube 4. Song Nancy Lee" >. Galop.

PRFJUpICIYG \ CasE.-We have no sympa-
thy whatever with Mercer, the man who shot
and killed Mcdonald, the business manager of
the Portland telegram. As We have read the
account of the affair, it looks like cold
blooded murder, but the offender is now in the
hands of the Law, and it seems TO us that the
newspapers might very properly leave him there
without prejudicins his case. Confined IN
prison, helpless and almost friendless, with the
stern rigors of the law staring him in the face,
his situation is bad enough without his being
daily told through the public press that he is a
"re,i-handed murderer, sure to be hung. y
condition 50 helpless is well calculated TO excite
sympathy. and hence it is we have been shocked
to see these frequent uncharitable reference to
the man snd his surroundings. Let the Oregon
authorities safely hold theirprisoner, and when
the time comes place him on trial, and II found
guilty carry out the extreme penalty OF the
law. but for goodness sake refrain from taunt
ing and reviling man who is bound hand
and foot. This lack of charity would be dis
creditahle in Il savage, but when it comes to
civilized man it is absolutely degrading. VIII

glorious future Besides his arduous duties
the past summer in the field, he made his
mark last year in the campaign against the
Nez Perces. The Clearwater fight was the
first time he was under fire, yet with true
Anglo Saxon pluck he headed his company,
and after charging the enemy, held his
grouni under the hottest fire OF that des-
perate fight. We return thanks to the mill

THEDIFFERENCE-Thea affairs Of w ALA Wa'la
county have almost uniformly been under demo
cratic rule, and having been wisely and eco
nomicaIly managed, the county is out Of debt,
and her scrip is worth its face, Boss Tweed in
the management OF city affairs has always made
it a point to form combination between re-
nlhiicans and democrats, and through the aid
of this /" ring he has been able to steal right
hand and Ift This was the way the New
York Boss managed to steal millions. and 1T is
in the same way that our Boss Tweed has stole
his thousands. 'The city affairs are wisely
and economically managed So says the old

An EXPLANATION Some one has described
a lawyer as one WHO speaks with a forked
tongue, trained to make the worse appear the
better side" This accounts for the promptness
exhibited by the city attorney in coming TO the
aid of Boss Tweed, and vouching for the ''strict
economy that characterized his management
of the city finances" When the great Boss
Tweed ruled New York, kind attorneys We're
always readyto plead eloquently in his vindica
ton, and 50 it appears that our Boss Tweed
finds an advocate in the city attorney.
