ENjoININe A CHURCH.

4 most interesting trial has Just come
to an end in Dallas. Texas. and the
termination should be accepted as a
warning to religious people ever where.
There is a colored church society in
Dallas, the members of which are very
enthusiastic and demonstrative in The
performance Of their religious exercises.
They groan and shout and exh0rt with
vehemence, and make so much noise
generally that the people residing in the
vicinity of the church are sorely dis
turbed. Some time ago the citizens
went into court with prayer for relief,
alleging that they were kept awake
night after night by the worshipers,
and asking that an injunction be
granted rest aiming the colored brethren
from disturbing the peace. The case was
ably defended, the lawyers for the
negroes contending that as the
shouting and groaning and yelling were
all in line Of religious worship. they
could not be suppressed or interfered
with any more than any other religious
rite or observance could be enjoined.
However, the judge took q different
view of the matter and ordered the in
junction to issue. In his opinion,
which is long and elaborate. His Honor
declared it was law that "a man has a
right to shout as long and as loudly as
he pleases, provided he does it where
he will not disturb others. Sleep is
and to rob man OF sleep is
as much an infringement of his rights
as. II he were robbed of his chattels."
Whether or not this is law i. is good
common sense, and is clearly justice,
though we observe that the matter is
arousing some discussion among
church people, the majority opinion
seeming to be that the judge erred in
not denying the injunction, and in re-
fusing to permit the wershipers to
worship in their own wild and noisy
waV.

THE PENSION vKroEs.

Some of the super loyal editors are
savagely berating the President because
he vetoes so many pension bills. These
editors care nothing for the facts in the
matter; it is immaterial 10 them
whether or not there is merit in the
claim of the applicant for a pension;
what is wanted Is an opportunity to
make point against the adminisira-
ton, and it is a great point" to show
that the government is in the hands of
men who are opposed 10 regarding the
bro and loyal soldiers who saveI the
Union from dissolution. 1t has been
shown by careful investigation to be a
fact that Mr.. Cleveland has vetoed no
meritOrious pension bill; ne has been
careful 10 enquire into every case, and
when he has found that the
petitioner was entitled to a pension the
bill has been approved. This pension
business has been literally running mad
1t has been popular to grant pensions.
or rather it has been decidedly anpop-
ular 10 refuse to grant them. Very few
Congressman have had the courage to
oppose a pension bill, for such opposi-
ton would be at once used against them
and their party at the pods. The con-
sequence is that bills are introduced
and rushed through without anybody
suggesting an investigation. It is al
legged that one Senator keeps a couple

THE ADJOURNMENT.

1t seems hardly possible that Con-
gress will be able to adjourn at the time
set for separation by the csucus-name-
ly, the 18th instant; that would leave
them only nine working days, while the
labor which must be performed will
require fully fifteen days. A Washing
ton dispatch on Sunday, detailing the
status of legislation, gives the position
Of the six regular appropriation bills
which still await the action of Congress.
as follows: Legislative bill-passed both
houses, and is now with the conference
committee; River and Harbor bill

A PALPABLE HIT.

GENERAL Chalmers, OF Mississippi,
again announces himself as candidate
for Congress on a platform in which he
declares that he believes in honest
elections" Your politicians idea OF
what constitutes honest elections
ware according to circumstances. A
few years ago this same Chalmers was
sent to Congress by what was alleged
and believed 10 be a thoroughly dis
honest election. Afterwards he
claimed the seat, but the election was so
outrageoPsly crooked on his part that
the Democratic House would not rstify
his claim, but gave the seat to the Re
publican negro Lynch; whereupon
Chalmers left the Democratic party and
has since been posing as Republican.
In his mind all elections are honest
which count MIN and his friends in. and
all are dishonest which count the votes
as they are cast.

IT HAS struck terror into the hearts
of many Senators and Representatives
to learn that President Cleveland will
not approve a bill that he does not
carefully read. It has been the prac-
tice of certain thrifty, industrious Con-
gressmen TO get bills OF questionable
character through during the confusion
of the closing business OF the session,
and then rely upon the President to
sign the measures, trusting to his fgal-
" to party to sanction anything the
party has done. The notification which
Cleveland has given-he is said to have
informed the leading men IN each house
of his determination in the premises
is likely to reduce the number of jobs
that were contemplated.

70 the wedding Tour OF a Young
Couple.

NEW York, June i5.-on June 10th q
Young couple engaged room No. 25 on
the second floor of the Sturtevsnt House
and were registered as Winfield Lee
Thompson and wife, Of Kansas City,
Mo. He was "a years old and she about
three years his Junior. This afternoon
the hotel Office bell was rung from No
rs. which the young couple had closely
retained since their arrival, but when
the bell boy responded and raped at
the door there was no response. After
repeated rappings, with no sound from
within, carpenter was summoned and
forced open the door. Thompson and his
wife lay side by side on the floor. Mrs.
Thompson had been shot in the back Of
the head, and was dying when the at.
tendants entered. Thompson was con.
scious for a moment, and asked that a
doctor be sent for. In Thompson's
hand was q revolver. There were bull.
ist wounds in his head and breast, but
not necessarily fatal. An ambulance
was sent for, but before it arrived the
womau was dead. There are indica-
tions that the pair were on their we'd
ding tour, and an inscription inside her
ring indicated that they had been mar.
red on June the 2nd. The bell-knob
in the room was bloody, indicating that
the shooting was done before the bell
was rune. The tragedy remains a

EDITOR HERALD:--On the 9th day oil
January, 1885. the city granted fran
chise to the l.. A. & 5. G. V. r. r. Co.
for the construction of its road from the
northern line of the city over and along
certain route to First street. The
greater portion of the right of way so
granted extends along and fol-
lows the course of the west
bank of the Los Angeles river, and
the chief consideration for the grant of
this franchise was the construction by
the company of its road-bed along this
particular route and in certain manner,
so that it would serve as a '1evee" and
be protection to property liable to
overflow and destruction by the river.
With this idea in view, and with this
understanding, the franchise was granted
upon conditions, and among others the
following: The road-bed was to be con-
structed Of material taken from the bed
of the river and be completed from the
point where it crosses the north
ern line of the city to Mission
street within eight months from the
grant of the franchise, and to First
street within one year therefrom. The
ordinance provides that in the event Of
a non compliance with these conditions,
the franchise shall be void. and that por-
ton over which the road is not so con-
structed, be forfeited. On October Sd,
1885. owing to unexpected difficulties
that the Company had met with, the
Council gave it an extension of time and
allowed six months additional for the
construction to Mission street, and four
months additional for completion to
First street. Upon these conditions the
Company were obliged to construct
their road bed to Mission street by
March 9th. 1886, and to First street by
May 9th, 1886, or they would render
their franchise liable to forfeiture. They
have done neither, and it would seem
that the proper thing to be done now is
for the property owners interested in
this matter together with oil citizens
who believe in enforcing contracts maze
with the city even if one part is a rail
road company, to ask the City Counc
to direct an action to be commence
against said company to forfeit their
franchise. 1t is about time the city
ceased allowing itself to be hambugged
by railroad companies or any one else.
There is no reasonable excuse why the
company should not have complied with
the terms of the contract on its part,
but as they have not seen ut so to do
they should be obliged to suffer the con.
Sc quence, the same as aprivate individual
would have to do in dealing with jan
other. 1t would seem that such large
amount of property us is situated in the
river district ought not to suffer total
destruction through the negligence of
the city authorities, but If il is, the least
the city can do is to deal promptly
with those who contribute towards it,
whether directly or indirectly, and no
more investments should be made there
to perhaps suffer the same fate as is
being done through the Inducements of
real estate spectators until people can
have some assurance of reasonable pro-
lection. l.. Nj. ).
