THERE are very many National officials
with pretentious titles and functions who
are not clothed with hundredth part of the
responsibility and power that Past Com
mander-in- Chief Louis Wagner exercises in
his position as Director of the Public Works
at Philadelphia. He has complete control
of the water and gas works, which are owned
by the city; the grading, paving, repair
ing and cleaning of the streets, alleys
and highways; the construction, manage
ment and repair of all public buildings,
bridges and structures of every kind the
surveying, public engineering, sewerage and
drainage; the dredging and maintenance of
the harbor, and the control of the wharves
and docks of the city; and under him is an
army of men and officials, who expend, in
all, between $6,00O,00O and 100000 a
year. The Generals annual report to his
official superior, the Mayor of the city, this
year is larger document than any of the
reports of the members of the Cabinet to
the President and Congress. The position
is very trying one, for the occupant is open
to the criticism of every man who is dissat-
isfied with the quality of the gas furnished,
the amount of water allowed, the way the
streets are cleaned, or anything of that kind.
Yet Gen. Wagner has given unusual salts
faction in his place, and there is general
public desire that he be retained in it. He
is big, strong man, with big, strong in
tellect, as all know who have met him in

A Shaksperean reader sends The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE this clever compilation,
to be the soliloquy of the Union
veteran departing for the polls on election
day, with Cleveland and Matson in his
mind:
I. A man I am crossed by adversely.
3 An old man, broken with the storms Of state,
g. The battles sieges, fortunes that have passed.
f. For in my youth never did apply
Hot and rebellious liquors to my blood.
s. have done the State some service, and know
it.
g. But, alas, to make me
a fixed figure, for the time of scorn,
To point his slow, unmoving finger at!
z. Had but served my God with half the zeal
served my King, he would not in mine age
Have left me naked to mine enemies.
s. Good name. in man or woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of the soul.
0. Who steals my purse steals trashi tbs some
thing, nothing.
But he who flches from me my good name,
Robs me of that which not euriches him
And makes me poor indeed!
TO. Has this fellow no feeling Of his business?
IL. A man of unbouuded stomach,
-. He jests at scars, that never felt a wound
Ii. That never set a squadron in the field
Nor the division of battle knew.
II. The little dogs, Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart.
They bark at me.
10. The oppressor's wrong, the proud mans con-
tumey,
The pangs of despised love, the laws delays.
The insolence of Office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy take
When he might his quietus make
With bare bodkin.
16 Call you that backing of your friends? a
plague upon such backing.
H. No! it's SANDER.
Whose edge is sharper than the sword; whose
tongue
outvenoms all the worms of Nile.
IS. Nay, and thourt mouth,
I'll rant as well as thou.
10. For though I'm not splenetic and rash,
Yet have In me something dangerous.
20. will feed fat the ancient grudge

locusts, shall be to him shortly as bitter as

WHERE THE FAULT LAY.

Comrades in Indiana who failed to receive
their NATIONAL TRIBUNEs at the proper
time will be interested in the following item
in the Los Angeles (Cal) Tribune of Sunday,
Nov. d:
There reached the city within the past 90 hours
seven large sacks termed by the postoice autborf-
ties paper sacks" filed with copies of THR Ma
TIoHAL TRIBUNE, of the issue of Oct Is, and each
sack has attached to it one of the wooden tags
used on such paper sacks to designate the State
where the Enclosed papers are to go, the ones in
this case bearing the name of California" When
this article was written, at least they each bore
that tag. The authorities may this morning have
thought 1t best to change the tag, for each and
every paper in those sacks is directed to Indiana
and was so directed at the publishing Office of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE in Washington, and was so
directed when they were deposited in the post
office in that city
Why did they all come to California? Seven sacks
full OF literature intended to reach Indiana
a few days before the election plainly directed to
Indiana. and on the 4th of November they are re-
posing in Los Angeles postofice, too many miles
away from their intended destination to reach it I'M
til after the ballots they intended to influence
are cast. To any one familiar with the methods of
mail forwarding it apparent that these sacks must
have been maliciously misdrected in the Washing
ton postoffice.
This is only one of the many instances
brought to our notice of tampering with our
paper, in order to keep it away from its
readers.
We believe in Civil Service Reform, and
the first step in such reform by the incoming
Administration should be a rigid investiga-
ton of the "perniciously active" officials who
forget that they are theservants of the people,
and attempt to assume the role of masters.
Think of the incredible impudence of post
office official in debating what newspapers
the people he is hired to serve shall receive,
and what shall be kept away from them!

MORE than the GoyernOrship of Indiana
was lost to c. C. Matson by the election.
Had he won the race he could have looked
confidently forward to a SenatOrship and
place on the Democratic National ticket in

veterans feel.

A GOOD Thanksgiving offering to poor

WM. R. MORRISON is making vigorous
effort to resurrect himself by great crow
over how his man-Wm. S. Forman de
feated John Baker, who defeated Morrison
two years ago. Inasmuch as the District is
naturally Democratic by majority of 1890,
and as Forman only received II more than
Baker, it is hard to see where Morrison's fine
work came in. Furthermore, Mr.. Morrison
owes his defeat two years ago to the Demo-
cratic veterans of his District, who punished
his disloyalty to them, just as the veterans
of Indiana punished Matson's treachery.

MUGWUMP-IN-C CHIEF GEORGE WILLIAM
CURTIS has given his opinion as to the
causes of CIeveland's defeat. He says it was
because he yielded too much to the evil
pressure of his party for patronage" and he
did not adhere with sufficient "rigidity to
his own convictions in regard to reform
in the Civil Service" Mr. Curtis also thinks
Mr.. Cleveland should have deferred the
sudden projection of the tariff as the sole
issue" and waited until he was reelected,
and then pushed tariff reform with all the
vigor that he possessed.

THERE is one place which the light of

their spokesman. The more subscribers it

HIGH license is certainly promoting the
cause of temperance in the District of Co
lumbia. Last year the number of saloon
licenes issued was 1900; this year only
1887. Sunday closing is rigidly enforced,
the sale of liquors by groceries, etc, has
been stopt, all saloons are compelled to close
at midnight, and from being one of the most
drunken and disorderly places in the coun-
try Washington has become one of the most
orderly and temperate. Every one who has
known the city for any length of time
notices this and comments upon it.

something that the veterans vetoed.

KANSAS, the State that "Campaign-of-
intellect Brice was confident would indorse
Cleveland's pension vetoes, gave a majority
of $4,000 against him. Kansas, it Will be
remembered, is the State that sent sub
stantially every able-bodied man in her
boundaries into the army. She sent a
larger proportion of her population to the
front than any other State and has to-day
more soldier-citizens than any other State.
