Another Veto.

The veto of the order appropriatlng $500
for the preservation of the city's shade trees
was not the only one in which the Mayor
INDUCED himself at the last meeting of the
City Council. Mr.. Burleigh introduced an
order appropriating $25 from the contingent
fund for the purchase of a clock for the
common council room. The order was
passed in the lower board unanimously
went to the upper board and was there passed
unanimously, when it was laid before the
Mayor The Mayors endorsement on this
order is so perfect an example of his misun-
Outstanding of his official duties that we COM
mend it to the attention of intelligent citi-
zens.
Disapproved, as the committee has voted to COM
nit the repairs to the Mayor whose control the
building and furniture is within therefore return
this order disapproyed.
j. w. DEERNG, Mayor.
So it seems that because the committee on
public buildings have made the Mayor sub
committee on the City Hall, the city council
which created the committee have no
right to authorize the purchase of a clock
needed in the room of the common council.
The order was not vetoed because the pur-
chase of clock for the common council
room was unnecessary, nor because the cost
was not to be charged to the proper appro-
priation, but because the Mayor fancied it
was an interference by the city council with
his high prerogative. He will have the city
council to know that he controls the City
Hall, and they have nothing to say about it.
When he wants the common council to have
clock he will make the appropriation and
get them clock.
He is the wise father who knows what is
good for his children better than they know
themselves. Let them have confidence in his
love and care and not be impertinently clam
orous. They can find out the time of day,
or OF night, as the case may be, by sending
messenger to him with polite request. Be-
sides, they have not been obedient boys
and do not deserve timepiece of their own.
Have they not opposed his will in some mat
tiers important to the carrying out of his
personal wishes, setting up their judgment
to thwart his purposes and to cause disap-
PoAAtmSub " lriouuS 10 WlOm ne was under
obligations? They must be good before
they expect favors.
It is true that the city ordinances regard
ing public buildings say that the committee
on public buildings shall have the care and
custody of all buildings belonging to the city
and of the erection, alteration and repair
thereof, "suIect to such rules, ORDERS and
regulations as the City Council may from
time to time adopt" But what of that?
The committee may be subject to the orders
of the City Council, but having made the
Mayor sub committee on the City Hall, he
is released-this is his logic-from any such
subsection and will do what he pleases
in the premises. This is entirely consistent
with his action in the school house job when,
in disregard of the specific and explicit pro-
hibition of the city ordinances the commit
tee began job, the estimates for which ex-
ceeded the appropriation, before reporting
this fact to the City Council.

The Temperance Work in England.

A recent letter from London represents
that the temperance cause is making unex-
ampled progress in England. The first total
formed in 1882 by seven men in the town of
Preston. Since then the cause has advanced
and spread over the land; but the growth of
the sentiment, or principle, has been most
rapid since the ''blue ribbon movement was
introduced from our Western States in 1878.
Nightly temperance meetings were begun in
Hoxton Hall, London, in that year, and
have been continued there without interrur-
ton ever since. This is the centre from
which Christian missionaries of temperance
have gone forth to all parts of the land, and
it is believed that more persons have signed
the pledge since this movement began than
during the fifty years preceding.
The work is not confined to the poor, but
members of the aristocracy, like the Arch
bishop of Canterbury and the Duchess of
Sutherland, are participating in it. Mer-
chants and manufacturers employing large
numbers of people, hold temperance meet
ings in their great warehouses and them
selves set the example of signing the pledge.
Thirty of the present Mayors of cities are
earnest advocates of total abstinence and Of
fer no intoxieants to their guests at Official
festivals. Last April motion for the adop-
ton of local option in the granting of Ii
censes was carried in Parliament by a major
ity so decisive that Mr.. Gladstone promised
that bill embodying the principle should
be brought before Parliament as soon as
practicable.
One sign of the spread of temperance prin-
eiples is the prosperity of public coffee
houses where no liquor is to be had. 1t is
said that in Liverpool alone there are sixty
OF these public houses in fourishing con-
dition. The religious bodies of all denomna-
tons are giving active encouragement to the
cause, the established church being espec-
tally jealous. Perhaps there is no surer in
dication of the real effectiveness of this re-
form than the fact that the statistics of ex-
penditure on drink show decrease of more
than one hundred million dollars between
1876 and 1882. The reduction in duties
paid on spirits was last year twenty million
dollars. II is not strange that the workers
in the cause feel greatly encouraged by these
evidences of success in their warfare with
the most destructive vice of our age.

Occasionally a despatch comes from Vic
toria, British Columbia, giving vague de-
tails of quarrel in progress in that region
the storm center of which appears to be
Rat Portage. The parties to the quarrel are
the provinces of Ontario and Manitoba and
the subject of the dispute is a large tract of
land whose centre of population is Rat Por-
tage. The war is waged principally in the
newspapers and danger Of blood spilling is
not imminent. Indeed the people of the
disputed territory enjoy the fight as it is in,
strumental in furnishing them with plenty of
whiskey of which they are said to be Aery
fond.

A Case Of Mistaken Identity.

Probably the most surprised man in
the city vestef dav wa S&N1r. Joseph Will
len, of No. 120 North Pine street, who.
through mistaken identity. pronounced
his wife. Mrs. Wilhclmina Willen. dead
Mrs. Willen had intended to go to Bay
Ridge on Monday, but after leaving
home met some friends who persuaded
her to accompany them to TivOli. Her
husband learned of this, and was wait
ing at the Light Street wharf for the last
boat in order to meet her. She. howev-
err. came up on an earlier trip. and get
ting off at Henderson wharf proceeded
to her home. Mr.. Willen waited all
night at Light street for the COckadc
CITY, which came no further than Hen
derson's wharf, and upon learning of
the accident hastily drove to Hender-
sons wharf. He inquired for his wife.
but no one knew her. though he was
told that there was a dead body in the
baggage-room which answered the de-
scription he gave. He viewed the body.
In every way it resembled Mrs. Willen.
and with fearful eyes he pronounced it
to be that of his wife. He ordered an
undertaken to remove, the body. and
went heme completely broken down.
Upon entering the house he told his sis
ter that his wife. was dead, and seemed
very much affected s.Your wife isn't
dead" said the lady; ..she is in her
ROOM, Mr.. Willen refused TO believe
his wife living until she was called down
stairs. and his feelings can better be
imagined than described.
The news that Mrs. Willen had been
drowned had spread far and wide. her
name having been printed among the
list of persons lost, and all during the
afternoon many friends called to offer
their sympathy only to be assured that
she lived. So numerous did these visit
ors become that the lady finally took q
seat at the front window. and spoke to
them as they came up to the door TO
condole with what they thought the be-
reaved family.-Bdltinsere Day.
