Zone cadet, who spent the last two
months Of his cadet life in light prison..
was found ut graduation to have more
than ono hundreds dement's for the
preceding six months. He passed his
examination in studies, but his def
ciencies in discipline caused his dis
charge. Had it not been for them he
would have stood second in a class of
sixty. He managed to get an appoints

now u lieutenant Of infantry.
''The opportunities for being re-

The letter of the Cape Porpoise skipper,
published in another column, gives new
instance of the petty annoyances to which
our fishermen are subjected by Canadian Of
ficials. He went into Port La Tour, N. s.,
to spend Sunday, but was ordered to sea at
once. The excuse Of course is that he did
not come for the wood, water or shelter al
lowed by the treaty of 1918; but when the
people of one community refuse to the sea-
men of another the privilege of lying in port
over Sunday, it is a case, not of insistence
on valuable rights, but of bulldozing by us
ing certain technical rights. There is way

Before the scandal of the bribed aldermen
is over, New York city is again disturbed by
disclosures of crookedness on the part of
the Commissioner of Public Works, Rollin
M. Squire Mayor Grace had hardly appoint
ed Squire before the latter began to use the
patronage of the office in such way as to dis
please his benefactor greatly. So a preteXt
was eagerly sought for the removal of the
obnoxious Squire. Mayor Grace has now
found that pretext in letter which Squire
wrote before he was confirmed by the board
of aldermen. In this letter, which is an eX-
traordinary document, Squire pomises in
black and white, that if certain Maurice
b. Flynn, a well-known potentate of New
York politics, will secure his (Squire's) con-
firmation as Commissioner of Public Works,
the Office shall be run in allrespects as Flynn
shall dictate Squire agrees to make only
such appointments as Flynn may direct; and
finally resign any time that Flynn may wish
him to. How Mayor Grace obtained posses
sion of the letter is a matter of speculation !;
it is certain that he has it, and fac-simile
copies have been printed in the New York
papers. 1t is one of the most remarkable
documents ever exhumed, even from the
rubbish of municipal intrigue in New York.

THE oLEoMARGARINE BILL,
N " Tinanc

The President has received the oleomar-
garine bill back from the Attorney General,
with an opinion that is, if reports are cor
rect, likely to be about as useful in helping
Mr.. Cleveland to a conclusion as a fifth
wheel would be to a coach, He tells the
President that he may not veto the bill ON
the ground of unconstitutionality, because
the taxing power proposed to be exercised
under it is plainly conferred upon Congress
by the Constitution, but he may veto it on
the ground of inexpediency, holding that
there is no need for further revenue and
sound regard for responsibility to the people
would seem to justify the rejection of a need
less addition to taxes.

HOW TO START GARLAND.
N. Y. Tribune.

1t was Senator Harris, if we remember
Alright who once made very caustic remark
about the extreme deliberation of the Ar
kansas statesman's movements. IF you
want to make that old turtle go, said he to
have to put red hot coal on his back" Ey-
identity this was correct estimate of Mr..
Garland's total lack of sensibility. Only a
live coal applied firmly with stout pair of
tongs can force this lazy and torpid turtle to
move on. The President can get rid of his
Cabinet associate if he wishes, but only by
expediting the statesman's departure by
Senator Harris's approved method. A red
hot coal will make the turtle move.

A large quantity of silver trade dollars has
ker for 75.4 cents apiece, which is about their
bullion value. The daddy dollar, how
ever, has seven and half grains less of sill
yer than those coins, but its value is held up
to 100 cents by the presence of gold in the
Treasury. When the gold is withdrawn,
which viii be soon if Mr.. Morrison and Mr..
Bland are permitted to work their own sweet
will with the surplus" these coins will at
once drop to their bullion value Of seventy
four cents. The 'daddies," being legal ten
der, and practically redeemable in gold, will
still buy 100 cents worth of flour, meat, cloth
or any other commodity. The moment that
the gold reserve is gone, or the government
suspends gold payments, the flour, meat and
cloth dealers will raise the price of these ar
ticles, and the daddy then will purchase
just about three-fourths as much as it will
purchase now, and not cents worth more.
