Miss Sweet.
Communicated.


The Journal this morning attacks General
Black for asking for the resignation Of Miss
Sweet, the feminine sgent at Chicago. Now,
hope the General will insist that his de.
man for her resignation shall be complied
with, and If she doesn't resign, remove her
at once. l don't blame Miss sweet for want
ing to hold on to as fat an Office as the Pen
zion Agency. But her wishes in the matter
sre not TO be considered for one moment.
Miss Sweet has held that Office for eleven
years, and IL is a low estimate that she has
received in that tine, in salary and fees,
100000, and in ali conscience th Government
should say to her: "You have had sweet
thing long enough. You can live well the
balance OF your days. Step down and out
and give some needy veteran a SHOW" Bat
the Journal says there are 10 charges against
Miss Sweet. Certainly not, and am klad OF
1t; but l am one of those who
DO not believe in any person in
this country holding Office during life
or good behavior We don't want q set
CT Cffice-holders who ieel that they eau hold
ttice In this country sgsiust the people SIM
ply because they behave themselves. hope
The Journal may not be grstified IN having
charges preferred against Miss Sweet, but
that she may be removed upon principle,
and that the President will sUstsin General

this point arose and. recalling the Premier's
statement fret made that the Government
believed that after defeating the Afghans in
Penjdeh, the Russians had retired, asked sar
csstlcally IL IL was not more reasonable TO
believe that after diving the Afghans out OF
Penjdeh the Russians stayed aud occapied
the place.
To this Mr.. Gladstone said that, Of course,
the natural inference would be that the Rus
slams now occupy Penjdeh.
Concerning this statement however" the
Premier added, some confusion exists bs-
cause the statement that the Russians occn.
py Penjdeh emanates from British officer
who bad left the spot at ths time of the
6ght whilst Sir Edward Thornton reports
subsequently that NJ. Ds Giers had stated
that the Russians, after attacking the At
ghans, did not occupy PeDjdeh."
Many questions were asked Mr.. Gladstone
about the ambiguity OF the expression used
by NJ De Giers, and whether the Rnssisns
might not have occupied PeDjdeh without
having occupied it Immediately after the
battle? Hr. Gladstone evaded THESE que5-
ons ss ide end to othersssaid the Govern
msnt had no rt asoD TO believe that any az
gressiye acts had been done by the AfghaDs
to provoke the attack on Pepjdeh. This
declaration caused a sensation and for a mo-

until needed, and was the first new officer
to require It..
"That reminds me )" said veteran police

were two crossways and two length
ways, making the form Of cross This

Then she closed her eyes and, holding the
weapon in her hands firmly, rocked to and
