The Mayors Veto.

1t is not only the right, but the duty as
well, of the mayor, when any legislation 10
enacted by the city council that he believes
is not for the interest of the city to veto 1t.
His veto of the salary bill, If 1t was founded
on such consideration, was a perfectly
proper act. The mayors reasons are two;
first that the salaries ought to be considered
separately. We have already expressed the
opinion that that is the correct view. His
second is that the financial condition of the
city and the condition of business generally
are such as to render an increase In salaries
at this time injudicious. This view is we'll
founded. 1t is doubtless true that the city
is not in condition to permit it to be gen.
erous. Still it can afford to be just, and if
in the examination of the salary list the
compensation of any officer is found to be
inadequate to the amount of labor he per-
forms it ought to be increased.
The mayor of course could not complete
his message without gratifying his pro-
pensity for punching somebody. The board
is reminded in a sentence, the style Of
which is suspiciously different from any
The Portland daily press., 1885-05-05

thing else that the message contains,
that the city will have to pay for
the ''luxury of two marshals," and the
legislature is pitched into for what the
mayor considers outrageous legislation in
behalf of the Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company.
This allusion to the Union Mutual is a
condensation of screed which the mayor
has for the last two months been reading to
everybody that he could pen up and compel
to listen.
After the veto message was read the Coun-
Gil revised the bill and made a number of
changes, all in the direction of a reduction
In the increases of the bill in its original
form. In its present shape it is less eb-
jectionabe in many particulars than before,
but there is room for improvement in some
OF Its features even now. AS, however, the
bill passed by two-thirds vote of both
branches, it is not likely to encounter an
other veto,

1t is good think to be the cook Of great
man. Herr Eye, Prince Bismarcks head
cook, has been favored with gold medal as

the Chancellor's stomach,
The trout is better protected than any fish
in American waters. 1t is the pet of the
legislature. The new law recently signed
by the governor of New York makes it ille-
gal to use net in trout waters. Any one
can burn net found upon the shores of a
trout stream. The close season is extended
from September to Nay, instead of April.
and anyone having trout less than six inches
long in his possession can be fined. This is
the strictest fish law ever enacted in New
York.
Mr.. Vilas's Office in the post Office depart
ment building is the least attractive, it is
said, Of the rooms occupied by cabinet Off
cials. 1t is small, and has NO ornaments of
any kind. One or two chromos, sent out
by steamship companies, hang on the wall
beside steel engravings of ex-postmaster
generals. The carpet is red, and worn.
Some allowance must be made for this, as it
is the description of disappointed Office
seeker.

notice among the events of the week the
derisive attack on physicians, because In a
celebrated case the patient seems better, not
withstanding the medical prophecy of early
decease. AS far as know them, physicians
profess neither to be omnipotent nor all-wlse.
Like those of us in other professions and oc-
equations, suppose they sometimes make
mistakes, but the time we spend In sarcastic
filings at their Caristlike and magnificent
calling we might better spend in thanksgiv-

A Portland correspondent, evidently a
Democrat, writes to the Boston Post that that
journals intimation that Judge Cleaves 10 in
Washington seeking the Portland collec-
torship ''can hardly be true" The cores
pondent further says:
Mr.. Cleaves has been warm supporter of Mr..
Bradbury for the collectorshp from the State, and
fact, who was interested to know, that under no
circumstances would he antagonize Mr.. Bradbury,
whom he knew to be the choice of the people.
Whenever he thinks it necessary Mr.. Cleaves viii
place on file strong letter, recommending Mr..
Bradbury for the position of collector and stating
what he knows to be the sentiment of his congress
sional district. Mr.. Cleaves will be the Democratic
candidate for Congress from the firsts district In
1886, and he will be elected. But his friends are
unwise to impnte to him an intention to supplant
Bion Bradbury in the place for which he is the al
most unanimous choice.
1t is rather unfortunate, as the correspond
ent suggests, that any misunderstanding ex-
lists In regard to Judge Cleaves's attitude in
this matter. A card from the Judge, how
ever, saying that he would not accept the
collectorship under any circumstances-not
even for the sake of harmony-would set all
doubts in the matter at rest. It was in this
way, we believe, that the Judge settled the
doubts which existed in the public mind in
regard to his attitude in the count-out. A
card at the nick of time now may do him as
much good as it did then.

The veracity of Sir Peter Lumsden, the
British commissioner in Afghanistan, is
beginning to be doubted by the London
newspapers. 1t is admitted by several of
them that he was mistaken in his charge
that Russia had violated good faith by occu-
plying Pul-i-Khisti, and also in his subse-
quent report that the Cars troops had oc-
cupied Meruchak. Some of the friends of
the ministry accuse him of downright false
hood. 1t seems Sir Peter sympathizes
heartily with the war party of India, and
suspicion is aroused that he has been as
anxious to force fight as the Russian Gen.
eral Komoroff. 1t is not improbable, how
ever, that this concerted effort to discredit
Sir Peter Lumsden is simply for the purpose
of preparing the public mind for some unpal-
atable concessions to Russia.

Gen Middleton doesn't seem to be making
very rapid progress in putting down the
Rel rebellion. Apparently be is having a
pretty hard time to get supplies sufficient to
keep his troops from starving. Gen. Mid

that when his troops hove in sight the rebels
would dissolve into thin air and disappear.
The contingency that they might fight

The appeal of the Mormons to the Presl-
dent is abject enough. There is no trace in
it of the buster that used to come from that
source. The Edmunds law has hurt them
and they are begging for mercy. But mercy
and justice should go hand in hand. While
the Mormons continue to violate the laws
of the land they should be pursued in the
courts, and the plea that their transgres-
sion of the civil law is for conscience's sake
ought not to be allowed to extenuate the
offence in the slightest degree. Men who vio-
late law for conscience's sake ought to be
ready to suffer martyrdom.

The code of rules adopted by the police
commission and approved by the alder
men at their meeting last night is published
elsewhere. The commission concluded to
divide the successful candidates into two
grades, and not attempt to rank them indi-
vidually. It has been generally supposed,
we think, that the law contemplated rank
ing them individually. The examination
by the commission, if rule fifteen is strictly
observed, will take a very wide range, and
the candidate who passes it successfully
ought certainly to be well qualified to per-
form the duties of policeman. The success
of the law will depsnd very much on
the spirit in which it is administered.
The law can undoubtedly to great extent
be nullifed if the commission, the mayor OF
the aldermen are SO disposed. The people,
however, are in favor of giving the law a fair
trial and nobody is likely to risk their dis
pleasure by an attempt at notification.

The governments fiscal year ends June
80, and on that day-the Washington cores
pondent of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal telegraphs-"th accounts of thou
sands Of worthless employees will be bal
anced and they will be made to walk

sweep" longed for by the hungry and thirs-
ty'' is to begin on that day. "The Presi-
dent" says the correspondent, "has paid
off the Mugwumps by the appointment of
Pearson, and he will pay off the Democracy
of the country by filling the other Offices in
decency and order with competent and de-
serving Democrats" The correspondents
despatch was sent under the eye of Col. Hen
~ Watterson, who is high up in the councils
of the Democracy. The wish may be father
to the thought, but the Presidents recent
appointments have certainly indicated that
he was fast drifting away from the civil SER
vice reform principle into the clutches of the
spoilsmen. Once fully in their tolls he can
not hope to escare.

Dore and About.

A Paris lctter-writer says: My Srst
meeting with the late M. About was in
a wavside inn near St. Nicolas. Va
raugcyille. 1t was in the hop season,
and the hop-pickerS had crowded into
the general room when their day 'swork
was over They were generally Vosgcs
mountainccrs who had descended to the
valleys of Lorraine rs Londoners 60 to
the rural parts OF Kent in September.
But there the resemblance ended, as the
manners of the former were rustic, the
bloom of health was in their checks, the
women and girls were neatly dressed in
provincial costumes, had not blcar eyes,
did not smell of gin, and the younger
ones were bright with animal spirits. /
was with q few tourists from Paris.
4 couple of other travellers descended
from farmers wagon which had given
them lift along the road. They ask
ed for dinner and sleeping accoinmo'
dation. One was boyish-looking adult
with long hair and "billycock'' hat, the
worse for the wear. He carried on his
back a sachel and painters box, and
held yiolin-case under his arm. The
second tourist had in one hand a little
portmantcau and in the other folding
easel. He was dressed in blue linen
overall suit, was neat about the shoes
and collar, and wore brown straw
hat. The landlady having more lodg-
ers than she could well attend to, was
inclined to turn them away. But they
said they would not only pay her, but if
she cleared space in a barn would
provide music gratis, and if there were
pretty girls in the house do their like
nesscs for whatever they might choose
to offer. In moment the hop-pickcrs
clamored for hospitality to be shown to
the newcomers, and a youth proposed
to 90 round the village to inquire if
there were any beds in a private house
which could be obtained for them for
the night. Gustave Dorc was the bear
er of the violin, and Edmond About
carried the folding easel.
After dinner Gustave Dore took his
fiddle out of the case and went to a
barn. All the guests followed and vii
lage folks came in to join them. Old
and young danced. About was still a
bachelor. Although he had neglected
at school the cult of Terpsichore, he
was interchangeable in kicking up his heels
and whisking round the country girls.
The improvised ball ended with a sup
per, which had for its principal dish
soupe aur chour. The cabbage was
well garnished with smoked sausages.
About was an active trenchman. He
laughed and talked while he ate, crack
ed jokes with the other guests who were
invited to share the meal, and enjoyed
the rough LONELINESS of the hestelry and
it's inmates. He then had thick head
of light brown hair, and brownish
beard which in certain lights was fair.
The complexion was pasty: All the
| gold that should have been in the hair
had, one might have supposed, descend
ed to his face, and in falling got dull.
But the irrepressible animal spirits, the
square, massive head, the broad Shout
dcrs, deep chest. and general lines of
the frame corrected the impression of
unhealthiness which was given by the
pastiness of the face.
