WTDNFspAY EVENING. JUNE 7.lsea
More Good W Ork.

Governor Pattison has vetoed the bills
relating to the government OF fitts-
hnroh : which were passed to provide
not for Pittsburgh by name, but fer
cities of the second class, of which class
pittsburgh is the only one. The COVER
nor finds Objectionable things in the
provisions of the bills, but sees in the at
tempt to evade the constitutional prohi-
bition of special legislation, evidenced
in making class" out Of a single
city, sufficient reason to disapprove the
bills. He is undoubtedly right. The
Legislature had no right to legislate
specially for Pittsburgh. The con-
stitation declares that legislation
shall De general. What is good
for Pittsburgh ought to be good
for any other city. The Legislature has
undertaken to say that city as large as
Philadelphia needs special legislation
which city of Pittsburgh's size does
not; and SO puts it in class by itself.
It has declared again that Pittsburgh
has need for legislation which neither
the larger city, Philadelphia, nor smaller
cities such as Lancaster and Harrisburg
and Reading have. All this may be !;
but if so, the constitution has
forbidden such special needs to
be needed. 1t does not make legis-
lation less special to provide for
Pittsburgh as the only city in class,
than to provide for it by name as it is
not denied that the constitution forbids
Pittsburgh to be specially legislated for,
it follows that the prohibition cannot be
overcome by calling it a city of the
second class, when it is the only one in
the class. The supreme court may de-
eide this to be constitutional, but 1t is 4
question which every intelligent mind is
as well qualified to determine as are the
minds of the supreme court judges. If
the Legislature can make class " of
Pittsburgh, it can make one of every
town in the state, for no two have the
same population.
1t is very good that the governor is
giving free vein to his common sense in
cutting down weedy legislation. The
blighting effect of All intelligent exami
nation 10y single mind of the legisla
tive measures, suggests the idea that
there is too great abundance of minds
engaged in Legislative work and that if
we had fewer legislators we would need
fewer vetoes.

| The guards arc still watching tho tomb

in front of the vault, with tired and
weary look on his face. BY tho way he

placed there by Modjeska, the actress,
| when il Cleveland some months ago.
Near the wreath lies a shcaf Of wheat, laid
there by Garfield's fatller-in law. At tho
base of the casket lies the large palm that
was placed on the casket at ElberOn on
that warm morning in August when servi-
ces were held in tho Franklyn cottage by
the seashore.
Fronting tho tomb is a wire fence, on
the gate of which hangs small box,
| which is used rs receptacle for small
contributions by visitors to tho Garfield
monument fund. Tho average receipts
are about So, 80 per day. At this rate it
would not take many years to secure 4

For this reason we were compelled to
place q wire fence around tho vault. In
my opinion there was really no necessity
for the placing of 4 guard around this

Tho night after Garfield's body was placed
here in this vault the cemetery omploye
who stood in the shrubbery near by
guarding the vault was startled by four
men who drove up and began rattling at
the vault door. Ono Of the men claimed
to be a United States officer, and wanted
to know why no guard was stationed at
the grave. The sexton threatened to pound
him with \ club if he didn't leave tho
grounds, and the party retreated in good
order. When they returned to tho city
they started the report that an attempt
had been made to rob Garfield's grave,
and the government troops were hurried
here from Fort Wayne and placed on
guard"

Attorney General Brewster has written
to Sheriff Bowe warden of the Ludlow
street Jail at New York, calling attention
to the complaints Of discharged United
States prisoners of the filthy condition Of
the Jail. The attorney general says "As
this department pays you literally for
keeping United States prisoners, do not
want to believe that you are cOgnizant of
the fact that your subordinates arc in.
tiicting upon them the outrages reported,
in placing them in such quarters and
giving them such food that life is made o
terror, for the purpose obviously of fore
ing them to take the board and pay you
SIS per week therefor, or subject them
selves to horrors which no penal institu-
tion is permitted to inflict upon prisoners
of the United States lawfully convicted of
crime, while all persons in your custody
not yet having been tried are presumable
innocent of any offence"

Miss Mary Bceson Receives $e,OOO-.Th,
Rest of the Estate for His Mother.
At Union, the will of N. L. Dukes wa
prObated Tuesday. 1t is brief and with
out formality as follows
Last Will-My debts and funeral OK
penses being paid. give to Mary s. Bee
son, daughter of Jesse Beeson, the sum o.
$4,000. The remainder of my estate
bequeath to my executor in trust to nav
the interest and proceeds thereof annually
to my mother during her natural life, and
at her death, the same shall be distributed
under the intestate laws of Pennsylvania
Before my mother shall become beneficial
under this instrument she shall sign to my
brother Lewis release of her dover upon
the land that was awarded to me in par
tition in proceedings in Hancock county,
Ohio. l appoint Asbury Struble. executor
of this, my last will. Witness INV hand
and seal, December 90, 1882.
N. L. DUKES.
Witness-Charles d. Conner, James H
Hoover.
Miss Lizzie Mutt, on hearing that tho
will of Dukes had at last been found. and
that Dukes had bequeathed 81, 900 to Miss
Beeson, said with great tenderness
"That is right, q very just act on his
part, for she clung to him, it seems, to the
last, with either a boundless blind love
which could not sac his infamy or a hope
full pity which made her believe that the
wretch might some time become penitont.
l am told that she is poor, so the money
will do her much good. l hear, too. that
she is quite i'll and worn. But why did he
not leave her all his property? With it all
her support would have been more as-
sured."
Conversation on this topic continuing
Miss Mutt said she had been made aware
that great censure had been visited bv
the public upon Miss ,Beeson and much
gossip INDUCED in on account of her rela
tions to Dukes, but she thought it very
cruel and wrong. Miss Nuts course in
her own terrible trials is wonderful. Thew
who are with her the most concur in de-
clariug that she bears up under her and
her family's great trouble with a brave
and gentle spirit, which commands the.
utmost admiration.

THE restoration of tho old Tell chapel in
Switzerland tends to reawaken the ques-

that surround bright figures of the past,
and the story Of tho life Of the noble
Switzer has more than once been attacked

bier. But with all its Efforts iconoclasm
has not weakened popular faith in the ex-
istcncs of Troy and the Homeric tales of
the nation, nor compelled us to doubt how
Cesar fell, nor assert that other beautiful
and heroic deeds of men and women of
the dim ages of the past are but the my
thical creations of fanciful minds, and over
among tho rich storied hills of Switzer-
land, where the little church has been re-
stored, those who enter it will find the as.
