. CONSIDERABLE complaint is being made
by citizens at the insolent manner and
petty annoyance to which they are sub
jected by persons employed by the authori-
ties as water inspectors. 1t is said that
they force themselves into houses and If
they find the water running in the water
closets or any place about the house they
subject the occupant to fine without refer
ence to extenuating circumstances. Water
should not be wasted, but the fact that 1t is
left running at times is of itself no evidence
of waste. But under the practice of these
officers it is enough to put the citizen to an
noyance and expense.
The citizen has some rights oven to
water. The detective system at present
employed is vicious in the extreme. 1t
gives power that is certain to be abused.
No citizen should have spies put over
him unless he is accused of violation Of
law, and even then it is q doubtful expe-
dent.
The police system of this city at present
n OF in good repute and the sooner it is
changed the better it will be for the repu-
tation of the persons in authority.
There is too much surveillance of limo.
cent parties by ignorant and insolent de-
tectives, so.called, and too little attention
| paid to criminals.

THE raid of Block, the detective, and his

THE House did right yesterday in voting
down the proposition authorizing the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Interior De-
partment to go out on iunketing expedi-
tion to the Hot Springs. The idea was
born in bad spirit. Besides, if any mem
ber of the committee is troubled with tho

AFTER four weeks balloting Colonel Joe
Blackburn has been nominated by the DEM
ocratic members Of the kentucky Legisla-
ture in caucus to succeed General Williams
the Senate Of the United States. 1t may
be said, and said truthfully, that there is
scarcely man in Washington who will not
rejoice at this result; not that they like
General Williams less, but Joe Blackburn
more. Joe Blackburn, since he has been in
Congress, has been the friend of every en-
ploye of either branch of Congress, always
favoring those things that were beneficial
to them, and opposing those matters which,
in his and their opinions, were prejudicial
to them. He will, if he lives, take his seat
on the 4th Of March, 1885.

More Information for MIR. Springer.

More information Tor MIR. Springer.
A little more information for Mr.. Springer
and his committee may not be out Of place.
We suggest to Mr.. Springer that if there
have been any Irregularities in the offices
of any of the United States marshals, the
Department of Justice knows of 1t now,
and knew of it from the start. Therefore,
it needs no investigation by Congress, but
the parties ought to be brought before
the grand jury at the instance and upon
information furnished by the Department
Of Justice. Consequently, Mr.. Springer
and his committee ought not to suffer them
selves to be led off on a side issue to save
any one of the special attorneys in the late
star-Route trials, or TO enable man, robber-
like, to say TO contractors Stand and de-
liver, or | will see to it that you are in
dicted and whether you are convicted or
not, will mako 1t cost you more money to
defend yourself than ask Of you"
Again The CRITIC says to Mr.. Springer,
that the object of A. NJ. Gibson and the
Department of Justice is to get the com
mittee off on side issuse so as to prevent
an investigation into their dark and crooked
ways in the prosecution of the late Star
Route cases. The people Of this country
have long since taken 1t for granted that
in a large number of the offices Of the
United States Marshals all was not right
but it is the place of the Department t.
bring the law-breakers to justice 1t need
no investigation by Congress. But whor
the Department Itself squanders the
money ofthe people for no other purpose
apparently than to enable a lot of black
mailers, detectives and lawyers to pocke
hundreds Of thousands of dollars, it ther
becomes the duty of Congress, which hold
] the purse strings of the Government, to in

SENATOR FRYE, in o letter TO tho Maine
Temperance Alliance, written few days
ago says;
In this matter OF temperance tho washing
ton Of to-day hardly resembles thnt OF twenty
ycnrs ago. Then on Now Years day tho open
house without the hospltalitles Of the side
board was almost unknown. Now it5 tempt
ing display OF the wine that mooks is almost
forgotten. Then the Government official who
was not lavish In his offer OF liquor TO every
caller was looked upon as a fanatic unworthy
Of hie high position. Now nothing would be
more discreditablc. Then the public man who
refused was regarded as eccentrlc--impolltaly
odd Now the majority decline. In this re-
form Maine took the lead.
Exactly SO. But it was not prohibition
that brought about this very pleasant
change. 1t was tho reflective common
sense of tho people themselves. No snmp
tuary law ever could have accomplished IT.

LEWIS DANA, long and Familiarity known here
az "Uncle Dana" died at the residence OF
his daughter In Orange, last Sunday-having
had shock Of paralysis some time ago, from
which he did not recover. Uncle Dana must
have been some ninety-two years old or over,
he not being able to tell his age when asked.
He remembered going, as soldier, to the bat
tie of Plattsburgh, In the war of 1912, at which
time he must have been between sixteen and
eighteen years of age.

bluebells and full chorus Of merry children.
The opera is gotten up entirely by local talent

patronized. Do not fail to see it.

| An investigation showed that some five mer
had been imbibng tangle-foot and having q

| the party, and, after getting out of DOORS some
trouble came up, and from words proceeded
blows. Finally four pitched on to one Dickey

| was left on the field Of battle, apparently dead
| Other parties arriving, those that could do 81
beat retreat. The insensible man was carried
| to his boardng-place and is still unable to ge
out. Blood and clothing were strewed arount
| where the fracas occurred and attracted gooC
| deal OF attention the next day. We do no
| learn that anything has been done in regard t
this matter except, 1t Is said, the man that wa,
pounded 80 he could not get away was pu
under arrest the next day-the others beinl
allowed to go where they pleased. A few

| quench the ardor Of many Of the men engaged
in recent rows, and perhaps Barre will sometime
