The Presidents last veto of pension bill
was that of Duncan Forbes, of Illinois, who
served three years and was twice. wounded,
though he pluckily remained with his regi-
ment each time, and served the full term of
his enlistment. The Presidents objection to
increasing Mr. Duucan's pension is that there
is no official mention of his first wound, though
the evidence is beyond dispute, as he still car
ries large scar on his breast, and suffers from
it. The veteran is now in the enjoyment of a

Mr.. CLEVELAND would have promoted
Patent Commissioner Montgomery to the
Solicitor-generalship instead of giving the
place to Mr.. jerks, If he had not objected to
removing man from place which he filed
satisfactorily. In short, Mr.. Cleveland OBJ
jects to promotions, and thereby shows that
he does not appreciate the first principles of
the ciyil-service reform that he processes to
uphold. One of the theories on which this
reform is based is that the employee of the
government will prove more efficient when his
attention to duty is likely to be rewarded by
promotion to higher grade of service. If
this principle holds good as to minor officials
there is no reason why it should not have
equal weight among those of higher rank.

THE Rev. William j. Sherman, Catholic
priest of South Brooklyn, SO far forgot his
vows to the church as to get married to a
pretty and estimable young lady, one who
had for years been his sweetheart before he
took orders. This so incensed the members
of his church, and the Catholics in general,
that he was well nigh mobbed, the people
crowding threateningly around the house
where he was concealed and crying out
sIynch the turncoat~ Kill them both and
the people who are protecting themw '.Burn
down the house." etc. All this because of de-
votion to religion is enough to cause the won
der what kind of religion it is that breeds
such narrow sentiments. The founder Of the
Christian religion never cried for the blood of
another, and did not possess any of the in
stincts of murderer or bully.

Washington Special.
A few days ago there appeared in the Wash
ington correspondence of the Detroit Tribune
paragraph stating that Senator Mitchell, of Ore
gon, had become enamored of Mrs. Nellie Nc
Cartee, an opera singer, was attending her per-
formances every night, and sending her ten
dollar bouquet every day. The story concluded
with the remark that Mrs. Mitchell was in
Europe, and Mrs. MeCartee's husband was suing
for a divorce.
AS Senator Mitchell has not attended the
opera since Mrs. NIcCartee has been perform
Ing here, and never saw the lady in his life.
he was naturally indignant. and meeting the
correspondent who wrote that paragraph to-day,
took him by the throat, and inquired the why's
and wherefores of the publication. The latter
gasped and grew black in the face. Mitchell re.
leased his grip and the correspondent made an
AFFECT apology Mitchell replied that he did not
want any apology; that a manswho would send
such a SANDER over the country, affecting the
honor Of a lady who he had learned was of high
character and unquestoned reputation, ought to
be debarred from the profession of journalism,
and he wished it was in his power to disable him
so that he could not repeat the offense The
correspondent explained that he had been In
formed that the story was true, and printed it
without any malicious design, and was willing
TO make amends. Mitchell then gave him
twenty four hours time to write an apology and
retraction to Mrs. McCartee, and to secure its
publication in every newspaper that had printed
the paragraph. If he did not do 30 within the
time, Mitchell promised him another choking

SENATOR HoAR, in a recent speech, dis
played such absolute ignorance Of specula-

The flash of the pistol was witnessed by several

the assassination was the prosecution of the sa-

THE WATER CONTRACT.

The Water works Company is asking of the
newal, for five years, of its existing contract
with the city, but with exceptions and re-
strictions as to the laying of mains, which re-
strictions inure solely to the benefit of the
company, and without any corresponding
benefit to the city or to private consumers
The Journal does not believe that the interests
of the city, or a proper regard for the rights OF
the citizens will admit Of such renewal under
existing circumstances, and for several reasons:
In the first place, the water company asks to
be relieved from the laying Of water
mains beyond limited extent, fixed by the
company for FIVE years. yet the company makes
no concession to the city in any way to COM
pensate for this relief. The present contract
expires the first day of next month, but there
is provision that until new contract shall
be made the present contract will continue
in force. The water company, like the
street railway company is always wanting
something from the city, but is unwilling to
let go of anything that is for its benefit. The
city is in no condition, financially, to make
contracts involving any great expenditure of
money. The cost of the fire protection to the
city, which includes the pay of the fire de-
partment and the water company, is, in round
figures, $4,000, or more than one-fourth of
the gross revenues of the city.
Another and very important matter to the
citizens, of whose rights the city authorities
are or should be the protectors, is the out
rageous manner in which the Water-works
Company deal with private consumers. The
Journal is informed, upon what it regards as
thoroughly reliable authority, that there is no
rule or scale of charges to private consumers
save the will Of the secretary OF the water com
pany. For the same service he will charge
one an exorbitant rate, and his neigh
Dor living along side of him rate
very much less. The water COM
pany prescribes the kind Of fixtures
that shall be put into private houses and COM
pels the employment Of plumbers who will
cater to the wishes of the company, and in
many other ways imposes upon the people
Before any new contract is made the alder
men and Council should thoroughly examine
into these and other abuses, and put into the
new contract such clauses and prescribe such
penalties upon the company as will protect
the rights of the people. In no event should
any contract now be made for longer period
than six months, thus giving the city time to
go to the Legislature for such relief as may
be needed to properly carry on the city gov
eminent in an economical manner.
