LoNpos, Jan. ia dispatch from
Capctown says that the editor of an Eng
lish newspaper, published at Johannes
berg, in the Transvaal, has been mobbed
for attacking the character of the late
Duke of Clarence and Ayondalc. The
editor referred to, it appears, after max
ing some uncomp!imentary illusions in
the columns of his paper to the late Duke,
made his appearance at the Johannesburg
Thcater. When the audience caught sight
of him there was Il rush made in his d.
rection, evidently with the intention of
doing him serious bodily harm The edi-
tor, however, succeeded in escaping
through side door. The audience then
Developed into mass meeting, ut which
il resolution was passed to the effect that
if the obnoxious editor was not removed
he would be driven from the country By

CIeyeIand,s Pension vetoes.

In his message returnii 6 without ap-
proval pension bill for the benefit of
John Reed. ST.. President Cleveland
said:
The records show that the beneficiary
named in this bill filed an application for
a pension in 1877. alleging that he was
the father of John Reed who died in the
service and that his wife, the mother of
the deceased soldier. died May 10, 1872,
and that he, the father, was mainly de-
pendent upon his son for support. He
filed evidence of the mothers death and
one witness alleged that he was present
at her death and attended her funeral.
In 1864. Martha Reed. the mother of
the soldier. filed her application for PEN
sion, in which she az first claimed to be
the widow of John Reed. She af erward
however, alleged that her husband John
Reee, abandoned her family in 1859 and
had not, therefore. contributed to the
support, and that the soldier was her
main support after such abandonment.
She was allowed q pension as dependent
mother, which commenced in 1869, the
date of her cons death, and seems to
have terminated July %, 1884 when
she died.
The claim of the father was jscted in
1883, for the reason that the mother who
had prior right was still living. and
when his claim was again presented in
1886 be was informed that his abandon
ment OF his family in 1859 Drecluded the
idea that he was entitled to a pension as
being dependent upon the soldier for sup
port.
