WE have repeatedly declared our
sympathy with the demand for the
removal from the pension-rolls of
every name which has been placed
there fraudulently. We believe that
an honest and faithful scrutiny OF
the lists will result in the discovery
Of serious abuses, and a very consid-
cradle saving to the treasury. But
this scrutiny should be conducted
impartially and openly, and every
pensiorer, whether honest or iiaudu-
lent, should be given an opportunity
to be heard. The government has
no right to assume in the absence OF
such an investigation, that any man
who as once complied with th.
! forms Of law. has been guilty Of per-
Jury and is abusing its bounty. Yet
this is precisely the course which
the Pension Bureau is pursuing in
it's attempts at reform. In Philadel-
phia some six hundred pensioners
have been dropped from the rolls
without any assigned reason; "and
the work." we are told, "has only
lust begun" The first intimation
that their names had been dropped
was given when the pensioners called
for their quarterly payments. When
they prot, sted they were curtly in
formed that unless they produced
testimony within sixty days to re
establish their claims, and submitted
to another medical examination they
would receive no farther considera
tion as pensioners. Further inves
tigation has developed the fact thaf
corps of special employees Of the
Bureau have been sent out to scou
the country as spies and detectives
and that upon their reports, made il
secret and necessarily eG-parte
names are arbitrarily stricken from
the lists.
Nothing could be more unjust o.
more offensive to the spirit of fai
play than this guerilla-like proce
dure. 1t is official busnwhacking o
the very meanest and most contempt
lible sort. And it is all the more in
defensible because it is not necessary
? in order to effect a reform of exist
ing abuses. If a pensiOner has gof
his name upon the rolls by lraudu
lent process, or is obtaining money
to which he is not lawfully entitled

- government work at the
aouth Of tie Mispillion river into
p5sitical channels-in other words
only Democrats are to have the con-
tracts and supervision Of building
the line of 10000 piling If this
goes through, the charge that the
work will be done only with a view
Of spending the money, and not for
the purpose ofimproying navigation
ofthe Mispillion-will certainly have
some foundation. Street rumors
claim that the Pennsylvania Railroad
through its friend, Hon. John W.

rivers mouth shall be improved; but
we can't believe this. Mr.. Causey
would not stoop so low-even if his
political compatriot, John P. DOna-

a bad character No favoriteo or fav-
oritism should creep into this i'm

TuE first serious delay Of peach
t,ai,, occurred yesterday, when the
New York trains reached their des-
tination at ten o'clock. This caused
very serious loss to the growers
here and the railroad company
should be held responsible for the
loss. Tie New York train leaves
Milford at 1915 p. m. and there is not
anv valid reason why it should not
reach New York before midnight
the same day. Ifthis thing is gcing
70 occnr now what will be the incon'
veniences we are to be subject to
when fully twenty times as many
trains will be required to haul away
the Delaware peaches of the present
season? It is burning shame that
such carelessness, for it cannot be
termed ANYTHING less, shall be permit
ted to go unpunished. All The fruit
that came to Milford Wednesday
(three carloads) was bought at big
prices BY local spectators. Had the
tlaip reached Jersey City on sched
ule time the fine fruit "Wednesday
shipped would have brought big
prices and netted the spectators
small profit. As it turned out every
one of them lost money and all be-

VARIED AND BEAUTIFUL,

At Washburn's Famous StOre-A
Display That Charms All Christi
mas Buyers.
What beautiful array of choice yet not
at all costly articles for Christmas gifts is
that at Washburn's famous store on Church
street. Here holiday shoppers revel among
charming goods on all sides. The store in
all its departments Is an honor to New Hs
ven enterprise, and just now the Christmas
displays come specially to the front with
the public and throngs are visiting the
store. Here are une1celled, in fact, I'M
approached, lines in optical goods, fine
leather goods and toilet suadries, with
their suggestiveness to the Christmas
buyer. No cheap trash is offered, yet the
prices are within everybody's reach and
lovely articles from 81 to s. abound on
every hand. An enumeration is hardly
necessary, as the windows themselves
artistic in their displays, speak to all pass
ers by as beautiful index of what may be
bought within-fine leather, cut glass
and Ivory goods and toilet articles
of every description. Our shopper,
will do we'll to include a visit to the Wash
burn store, for here the Christmas gift
problem can surely be solved most salts
factorily. Among the articles are: Optics
goods, fine leather and toilet sundries
opera and field glasses, fancy thermome
tiers, bsrometers, gold spectacles ant
eye glasses, pearl handle readers, pock

What the Tests show.

The conclusive fencing tests made by
DR.. e. W. Scripture in connection with the
Yale Gymnasium association exhibition on
Friday night to ascertain the relative
swiftness of action of swordsmen in re-
Spouse to given signals are summed up as
follows:
First-The possibility of analy zing fenc-
ing movements into their mental and bod
lily elements, and of measuring these ele-
ments has been provided.
Second-The average fsncer is not quick
or In simple reaction where few mental
elements are involved than trained scien-
tist, and neither class shows an excessive
rapidity.
Third-Whsn once the mind is made up
to execute q movement, fencers are far
quicker in the actual execution. In rough
figures it takes them only half as long as
the average individual.
Fourth.-As the mental process becomes
more complicated the time required by the
average feneer is greater than that required
by trained scientist. The shortest time
of all, however, it that of DR.. Hammond,
whose mental euickness has probably been
developed in some other way.
Fifth.-The general conclusion seems to
be chat fencing does not develop mental
quickness more than scientific pursuits,
but it does develop to a high degree the
rapidity of executing movements. 1t would
be very important and interesting to de-
termine If this holds good of the other
sorts and exercises or If some of them are
especially adapted to training mental quick
ness, mind rather than muscle.
