questsd the payment OF that smount yes

that the cost had moi been entered in ire

ceed to Lawyer Sinnstts Office, where he
had business. A few minutes later the
witress, sccompspi d by the defendant,
entered Mr.. Sinners Office, and not seeing
Mont, informed the attorney they wished
to see Mont Csrnes. At this Mont stepped
up and asked:
"What are the charges, Mr.. -?

out of his own pocket, he was going to do
il. This Infatuated the constable, who
called the man q scOundrel with several
sdjectives pr-fxei, and told him what he
thought of him.
They separated, but the more Mont
thought of ii the more enraged he became,
and at last swore he would lick the gentle
man on sight. Mont says he has heard OF
traiu, stage and bank robberies, but this is
the worst case of ROBBERY be has ever seen

SATURDAY., AUG. IS, 1885.

TIE Denver NewS makes the follow
ing inquiry: "Why would 1t not be a
good idea to erect grand national H.
brary building in Washington, and
make it the memorial Of the old com
mander? Such structure Is really
necessary, and it would be far more ap-
propriate as memento Of man who
was essentially utiliaian in his life
than mere funeral pile of metal or
marble" 1t is good idea, but the
better ono rs already suggested by The
CRITIC and destined, as we confidently
believe, to effect permanent lodgment
in the favor of Congress and the people,
is the erection OF memorial arched
bridge across the Potomac. We have
stated heretofore some OF the reasons
for thus commemorative the IN, mory
of the great soldier, to whose heroism
and courage the Union owes so much
for its unbrOken maintenance. The ap-
propriateness Of such structure can.
not for Il moment be questioned. In
an architectural point of view it could
be made of surprising beauty and
grandeur. II would lc capable
OF artistic adornment to degree
impossible in monumental shaft
or even IN any group OF
sta.uary that might be devised. To this
conclusion The CRITIC feels quite sure
the public judgment will sooner or later
come, however wary it may be at
first, Of a proposition that we admit to
be somewhat startling in its originality
and uniqueness. But we are glad to
see that our esteemed contemporary of
the Rocky Mountains has cut loose
from the tame and stlted ideas that so
generally obtain concerning memorials
of the illustrious dead The country Is
sick and tired OF colossal marbles and
naked obelisks and broken collmns aud
Outlandish bronzes. 1t would honor
such man rs Grant with monument
eloquent with suggestion; of u glorious
future as well as rich with instructive
lessons from the past.

The scandal which the safe men are
stirring up in the Treasury is well
worthy Of official attention. They start
out with the theory that safe burglary
is one OF the most progressive Of mod
ern arts, and that Treasury vaults and
safes Of to day should be as much su.
perior to those Of forty years ago as the
cracksman's tools Of the present time
are to those OF the last generation Of
burglars. The manufacturers claim
that the burglar-proof and fire-proof
vaults for which the specifications call
would be neither iire-proof nor burglar
proof. The safe makers raise another
question rejecting on the business
methods of the Treasury. They say
that it is pretty well known at what
places safes and vaults will have to
be built and of what sizes, yet no in
timation of these facts is givel to hid
ders. They are called upon to agree
to construct vault for SO much per
foot, ignorant Of whether their work is
to be performed in New York or in
Alaska. The casual observer would iu-
fer that there is room for admiuistra
tive reform If any of these complaints
are well founded.

THE SYSTEM Of quick delivery of let.
ters which will soon be put Into opera
ton will doubtless prove very popular
and useful. and out of 1t is bound to
grow another improvement in our ex-
cellent postal service. That improve
ment will be quick collection. No par
tcular fault can be found with the
present system, and it apparently salts
6es everybody, but In these go ahead
days we want all Of the improvements
that we can have. Rapid delivery Is
one and rapid collection will go hand
in-hand with 1t.

The spread of the cholera in Euro
pean countries, melancholy aud dis
tressing as it is, especially 10 Spain, has
not yet assumed proportions which the
sanitary authorities OF the United States
regard as Immediately alarming. There
is no reason, they say, for considering
the danger this year any greater than
that OF year ago, nor why the precau-
tions then taken for our protection
should not be eilectual now. In the
opinion OF Surgeon General Hamilton
Americas danger must proceed from
an outbreak Of the epidemic in Cuba or
England, and in either event every pos.
sible energy would be directed TO eff.
cient quarantining against it.

country has supreme contempt for

marking further that as long as the

called. This is n sensible aud dgniIied
way of treating the question. Austria

prove it as an evidence Of sound states.
