WE mention as N matter Of rare news
that government clerk has just re-

If President Cleveland was as effec-
tive in turning the Republicans out as
he is at vetoing bad pension bills we
would think still more highly Of him.

The New York Sun one day last week
published nearly two pages Of matter
concerning the recent telephone inquiry.
At forty cents line-the rate paid by
the Bell Company-this amounted to
quite nice little sum.
THE river and harbOr bill 10 steadily
increasing, and by the time it reaches
+ the President it will amount to near
$40, 900, 900. By the time 1t leaves the
President we dom t think it will amount
to quite so much. The bill is full of
unworthy jobs.
AFTER many years Of weary discus
sion Congress has at last passed and the
President signed the bill restoring Gen.
eral Fitz-John Porter TO his rank in the
army and placing him on the retired
llst. We are truly glad that the matter
10 finally settled.
CONGRESS will probably adjourn the
latter part Of this month, as 1t is nearly
through with al necessary legislation.
Ii 1t shall conclude to discuss Mr.. Ram
dall's tariff bill-which is not worth
discussion-the session will be strung
out couple of weeks longer.
The Senate Committee on Pensions is
quite indignant at the President for pre-
suming to veto pension bills that the
committee has passed. But the Presi-
dent does not seem to be scared at all
by this fact, and the same day the com.
mittee's criticisms were published he
sent twenty more vetOes in. Go it, Gro
YER.
SOME one has suggested that 1t would
be a generous thing for the Republican
party to give the next Presidential NOM
ination to John Sherman. Why John
Sherman should be the beneficiary Of
generous set we do not know, for he
certainly has never been guilty Of doing
anything generous himself-at least he
has never been caught at 1t.

SOME of the Republican papers are
finding fault with the President for
paying attention to the little things
like unworthy pension bills and need.
less expenditures of money of various
kinds. That's just what Democratic
President was elected for-to stop all
the leaks, both great and small. And
we are proud to say that Mr.. Cleve-

The two sluggers, Sullivan and
Mitchell, are just pining for chance to
punch one another's heads, but the
police authorities OF New York won't
allow it. It'sa pity to deprive these
two beauties Of innocent amusement.
Let them fight. In fact, we should like
70 hear of them being locked up until
both were slugged into that country
where sluggers slug no more.
