GENERAL GRANTS explanation OF the
Mexican reciprocity treaty is clear and sat
isfactory. After setting forth the great ad-
vantages to be gained by sucL treaty, he
answers the only objections thus far made
to it by explaining that Cuban sugar can
only be shipped to Mexico and reshipped to
this country as Mexican products by the
parties engaging in such traffic taking the
risks Of any other smugglers, and intmates
that this is matter to be dealt with by the
Treasury Department and not by the
treaty making powers
Another objection is that Mexico does not
bind herself not to extend similar privil-
cges to other countries. General Grant
points out the very self-evideut fact that
Mexico would hardly consent to so bind
itself unless the United States had done
the same thing. The General very prop
erly thinks that this country would not
consent to hamper itself by such stipula-
tions
There is no question of the benefits this
country will derive from the treaty, and it
should be speedily ratified by the Senate.

CHARGES which, if made by person
of reputable character, would be seriou;
and damaging, were preferred against Cap
tain Vernon and Lieutenant Arnold, of the
Metropolitan Police, by one John L
Smith. These officers at once demanded ,
prompt and rigid investigation into the
charges made against them, at the hands o
the District Commissioners. In answer t
this demand, the Commissioners replied a
follows
Whenever charges are made against any OF
fcer Of the police by such responsible person.
as wosId make It incumbent upon tn,
Commissioners TO investigate the same, the!
VIII bo prompt In doing 50. But in the pres
ent instance, to which your communication
refer, the Commissioners hnd no occasion 10
such proceedings, the charges not being pre-
sented in shape worthy OF their notice.
This was proper answer
We believe, however, in the homely pro
verb that what is sauce for the goose /!
sance for the gander.
1t would have been an outrage to try
Vernon and Arnold on the statements ol
this man Smith.
Why is Smith any worse than O'Leary
and Murphy, who are convicted thieves
and swindlers? And why should their
word be taken against the late detectives Of

AT LAST man comes forward who has q
good word to say for the telegraph wires
around the Newhall house. He is w. B.
Busenbark, travelling passenger agent of
the Michigan Central. He was in a room
on the fourth floor of the hotel when the
fire broke out, distance of about seventy
feet from the ground. In jumping, which
was his sole chance of escape, he so gauged
his leap as to strike the mass of telegraph
wires, half way to the ground, alighting on
his breast and stomach. He clutched the
wire with his hands and hung long enough
to bring his body to full stop, and, then
relaxing every muscle, fell to the ground
without sustaining fatal injuries. Still we
favor putting telegraph and telephone wires
under ground.

HIRING DIAMONDS.
How Costly Jewels Are Obtained FOX
WeddinKs and Receptions.

From the Boston Globe.
''That was an expensive set of jewelry," re-
marked reporter to the proprietor Of large
Washington street store, abiding to q set OF
diamonds young lady had just taken away
| with her.
at is the most expensive set we have in the
| store" was the reply, 'but she has only hired
them"
''Is that a common thing in Boston?' asked
the newspaper man.
''Most certainly. Many Of our best customers
hire set of jewelry for an evening, and for q
comparatively small price excite the envy and
jealousy Of their friends. I wonder you have
meyer heard of it before. We take our costliest
gems and reset them to please our customers and
then rent them. OF people whom we know we
never require any security, but stranger
would, Of course. have to deposit the full value
OF the gems. There are two of our finest sets

Only Eighteen Hours.
From the Pittsburg Despatch.


Late last night as one of the Pittsburg and
Birmingham Passenger Railway company's cars
was coming over the bridge the conductor was
observed trying to make bed out of the DASH
board with the brake handle as q pillow. No
tlcing that his conduct created amusement for
the passengers, he glanced up and said:
