One Of Mr.. LeLacheur's charges on Satur-
day night was that the Board of Aldermen
improperly reinstated Officer Stevens. Mr..
Stevens was the officer suspended by the
Mayor for not arresting a rumseler when re-
quested to do SO by Messrs. Bayley and Lee
Lacheur. Under the rules Of the police de-
partment the case Of a suspended officer
must be presented to the first regular meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen after the sus-
pension. Mr.. Steyens's case was brought
before the Board in accordance with the
rule. Some thirty days had elapsed since
the suspension, and neither Nr Bayley nor
Mr. LeLacheur had filed any charges, or ex-
pressed desire to pursue the matter further.
The officer had been punished by the loss of
nearly months pay and rs NOBODY APP
peared to object and the Marshal and his
deputies testified that he had buine a good
reputation and been regarded as very eff
cient officer the Board decided, with
out a dissenting vote, to reiastate him.
The next day, Mr.. LeLacheur appeared at
the Mayors Office and excitedly said to the
Mayor, NOW l am going for you. When
asked his reasons, he replied, Because the

Mayor stated the facts of the reinstatement,
and also told him that Officer Stevens had
said that Mr.. LeLacheur had told him that
he had no objection to his reinstatement.
Mr.. LIE LQcheur replied that he had discov-
cred that Mr.. Stevens had been suspended
some eight or ten years ago. The Mayor
then told him that he should have been on
hand to present any facts he might
have had to the Aldermen, that he had had

anybody in this case, it apparently belongs

Woman Suffrage In Massachusetts.


The woman suffrage question was debated
at considerable length in the Massachusetts
Senate last week. The measure under dis
cussion was much narrower than the propo-
sitioD so recently before the Maine Legisla-
ture, and so the discussion was not on the
question whether it would be right and best
for woman to vote, but whether she should
vote in the annual elections in which Mas
whether liquor saloons shall be licensed or
not. Senator Rowland Of Bristol, who was
the first champion of this plan of limited
woman suffrage contended that, as the laws
OF Massachusetts, already concede to women
the right to vote for school committees. they
should also he allowed to vote on the license
question, which is Of even more interest to
them. From the example of Kansas Mr.,
Rowland endeavored to prove that the wo-
men wanted the opportunity to vote. He
also prophesied that were the opportunity
given to them. the sale of liquor would re-
ceiye great check Senator Gleason of
Plymouth, was Of the same opinion regard
ing the sale Of liquor, even going so far as to
declare his belief that practical prohibition
would result in Massachusetts. Here Sena-
tor KimballEpointed out that there was prac-
teal prohibition in two hundred and ninety
towns already, and asked if they intended to
pass this measure merely to obtain it in the
the lother thirty-six. He preferred a

One of Mr.. LeLacheur's statements at the
City Hall Saturday night is thus referred to
by the Sunday times:

Mr.. LeLacheur stated last night at City Hal.
that certain officer was seen by him and another
clergyman to 90 into rum shop aud stay there
half an hour, that he made complaint at the sta
ton and nothing came of it, Mr.. LeLacheur stated
when he made his complaint at the station it was
twenty minutes past ten when the officer pulled
the box at the Grand Trunk, and half an hour
previous 10 bis pulling the box he had been In a
rum shoe. Mr. Lel.acheur heard the officer give
his name NJ The box Now, simple Justice c0mpels
us to say that according the official record at
tie station the officer who pulled this box at twen-
~ minutes past en- left the station at five minutes
past ten. AT fourteen minutes past ten he stood
rlS. This left him six minutes to get to the Grand
Trunk box As he passed the place designated by
MIR. LeLacheur people were coming out and Mr..
LeLacheur evidently mstook his inan, for there
was no other officer at the place at the time.

The Halifax Herald declares that an Illus
traton Of the progress of Canada is found in
the fact that the Grand Trunk Railway was
1902 miles in length in 1862, while it now
covers 2,9lS miles, employs 1900 hands, and
since 1880 it has added no less than 100 loco
motives to its rolling stock. To an outside
observer this would appear rather as an H.
lustration of the progress of the Grand
Trauk Railway. We should suggest that a
truer Illustration OF Canadian progress
would be It's big end fonrlshing debt.

apparent, although carefully yelled, in the

Of the reasons set forth to the Democracy for
supporting their old antagonist. The Dem
scratic party has a good memory. 1t does
not forget that the last administration OF Mr..
Dow as Mayor gave the State to the DEM
ocracy and swept the liquor law from the

In his eloquent Grafton on the political
Mission of America" pronounced before the
Union League Club of Chicago on Washing
tln's birthday, the Hon. Chauncey NJ De.
pew took the ground that with the growth of
the Republic change should be made in
the office of President MI. Depew thinks
that, as Congresses made up from larger and
more populous districts become more vague
ard distant from the people, the latter will
need and demand an executive to whom APP
peal can be Immediate and whose respon ST.
biiity shall be direct. Such a president,
however, should be prevented by constitu-
tional prohibition from accepting a second
term; but, as ''the peculiarities of his posi-
ton on retirement from office prevent his
participations in the ordinary business ayo-
cations Of the CITIZEN" the ex-President
should, in Mr.. Depew's opinion, receive an
adequate pension for life. But this pension
should be somewhat conditional. On leav-
ing his Office the President could not return
wholly to private life, but go on to retired
list, whence he should be subject to call for
any public duty where his experience, char
acter and ability would be of value. In just
what way the Presidents authority should
be enlarged, whether his executive functions
should be less trammeled by the confirming
power of the Senate, or whether TO him
should be given certain powers that are now
considered as more properly pertaining to
the Legislature and judicial departments of
the government, Mr.. Depew does not say.
He does imply however, that the contem-
plated increase of the Chief Magistrates
power would be such that it would not be de-
sirable for one man TO hold the Office for
more than one term. Already, in Mr.. De-
pew's opinion, the desire for reelection may
exercise over the Presidents policy an evil
influence as is conspicuously illustra ted by
President Cleveland's remuneration of the
policy of civil service reform which he
marked out at the beginning of his admins
tration. But if it is undesirable that bad
magistrate should be limited to four years
Of service, is it not equally desirable that
good magistrate should be enabled to serve
his country through two terms? The spec
tacle OF Cleveland winning second term
through the portioning out Of spoils to
hungry party may be Offset by the spectacle
of Lincoln accepting again the burden for
which no strength but his was equal. The
best way to improve the Presidents office is
to put better man into it.

of prayer and its effects on the material
