PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is utilizing the
last days of his administration in vetoing
jobs and private pension bills which par
take of the nature of jobs" remarks the st.
Louis Post-Dispdtch. 1t isof course highly
commendable for the President to veto
small jobs; but it would have saved a good
deal of legislative time if there had been
reason to hope that the President would veto
what the esteemed Post-Dispdtch itself has
characterized as the big Pacific Railway
Jobs.

could set 10000 men there. Russia. it is esti-

in the first three days.carry 10000 troops into
Russia. Germany's preparations for war with
Austria or Russia are much less perfect than
her preparations for war with France. Never
theless, in three days she could put 40 600 men
into Russia or 100000 into Austria. France is
about to strengthen her railway system on her
eastern borders. Already she could, it is COM

days, and 900 in a week; and upon the COM

''obey" left out of the marriage service. He

since the fact of obedience is no longer con-

fuss about little word of four syllables
in the contract.
