GREAT FALLS, Feb. W.--The sswer scan-
dal is still the talk OF the town. The city
council held special meeting this after
noon to hear the report of the committee
appointed to investigate the places where
work is alleged to have been poorly done.
The council room was packed to su1oca-
tion; and the mayor had to call the crowd
to order on several occasions when it be-
came too demonstrative. The committee
found that the work was not as bad cs re-
ported, but admitted that many cases Of
gross negligence had been Uncovered One
piece of pipe, when uncovered, was found
to be- disjointed, rendering the lateral ut
terly worthless. In others the pipe was put
together without cement. Some of the
manholes had no pleaster on the outside.

Speeches were made by several aldermen

The mayor appointed committee of three

from the trades and labor council and from
the board of trade to investigate further

Mrs. Pusflman's Trial.
Special to The Independent.
BUTTE. Feb. 24.--The murder trial of
Mary Pushman to-dny excited the usual
interest. The defense produced some of its
evidence. The stepsistsr. Mrs. Greiger,
testified to peculiarites and eccentricities
on the part of her sister, among which was
roneness to converse with men at the
side door of an adjacent saloon; further,
that accused, when but two years old, fell
head foremost into four foot we'll, whers
she remained for forty-five minutes, till Il
laborer. returning from work, discovered
her. On one occasion, shortly after she
arrived in Butte, Mis-. Greiger was sick,
and told defendant to go after a Doctor
Mrs. Pushman went out of her house In her
bare feet. and witness did not know what
became of her. She afterwards found her
in an Clubhouse. She acted strangely, and
gave no reason for not going after the
doctor.
Another incident relative to her peouli-
arities was relative to ar occasion when
she saw spooks. Mrs. Grsiger is a widow,
her husband being dead. On one OCCASION
Mrs. Pushman told the widow her dece ased
husband was sitting in tho room. She was
positive of this and her eyes glared wildly
Ms she looked at the corpse of MIR. Greiger.
The witness said she could not see any
thing. Then again she was restless in her
sleep, and saw shadows and dead bodies in
her sleep. She would get up nt times and
dodge shadows. This was while they re-
sided on Wooolman street. These occur
rences did not happen nightly. however.
After residing on Woolman street the pris-
oner resided in Walkerville with an aunt.
for whom she worked. Letter she lived
again with her sister. who kept lodging
house on Park street.
Some OF her alleged peculiarities at this
place we,e cited. such az going TO sleep In
some room with all of her clothes on, o.
requesting somebody to stand in the door
and keep her company.
Several other witnesses also testified to
gome of Mrs. Pushman's alleged peculi-
arities, all going to show she was most
crazy on the subisot of ghosts.

The chirrup OF the robbtn and the whistle OF

In the days gone by, when my naked feet were

By the honeysuckles tangles, where the water

Where the placid-eyed and lazy-footed cattle

And the fitting snipe stood fearless OF the tru-

Cleveland Goes Fishing.

President Cleveland snubbed every
surviving veteran when he snubbed a
committee of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, who called at the White
House to invite him to attend the
services of Decoration Day at Arling-
ton by rudely sending message to
them that he was too busy to 60. &"
President Cleveland insults the loyal
sentiment of the country when he
announces, as he did through his
private secretary, that he is ito busy"
to be present at the decoration Of the
graves of the Nations dead, but that
instead he is going fishing in the
State at whose capital the bones Of
the chieftain of the Confederacy were
on the day following to receive osten-
tatious honor.
President Cleveland has gone fish
ing on Decoration Day before. This
is only one OF the offensive methods
by which the man who sent.a substi-
tute to the war and who was an OBJ
scure Buffalo politician while General
Harrison was leading the charge at
Resica displays his contempt for the
memory Of the heroes who died that
the Union might live. In his long
series of messages vetoing pension
bills Mr.. Cleveland exhibited lack
of sympathy for the manned and suf-
fering survivors Of the civil war
which might justly be called brutal.
With coarse and malignant "humor"
he jibed at the frequency of ailments
and diseases resulting from service
from which he purchased snug and
safe immunity. In pleading that he
had mo time" to cross the Potomac
to Arlington on the morning Of May
80, and in the same breath announc-
ing that he would 90 fishing in the
afternoon, Mr.. Cleveland outraged
both the memory Of the dead and the
sentiment of the living.
It is impossible to disguise, even if
any effort were made to do so, the
intent which lies behind this deliber-
ate insult to loyalty. The American
people are essentially practical. In
subduing a continent within CEN
tury they have developed more vigor
than sentiment. But the memories
of the mighty throes through which
the republic passed in preserving It's
life have a hold upon the heart as
well as place in the history OF the
nation. The display Of Indifference
by the Chief Magistrate himself to
the one day set apart to the memory
of those who fell in that struggle is a
spectacle as humiliating as it is
offensive. It is, however, in har-
mony with the hauling down Of the
stars and stripes at Honolulu and
with the purpose Of the Democratic
party to degrade and pauperfze the
veterans Of the war for the Union

Bump on a Log.

Louisville, KY, Courier-Journal (Dem.)
A man as incapable of receiving impres.
sions as of returning warmth, and sensi-
BILE of criticism only to the point of re-
senting it, the president sits in the
white house Like wooden image made
to be worshipped, not to be loved. To
the weaker members of his cabinet he
has impaired his dull sef-sufficiency and
cold stolidity.
The most servile as well as the SINGER
est form of fattery is imitation, and the
beggars on horseback whom Mr.. Cleve-
land, seeking new political planet and
to people it with creatures of his own,
brought into being and mounted, have
caught the trick of their chief, and are
equally industrious and successful in
neglecting great for little things, and
in seeing nothing clearly, except the
regulations of the civil service. They,
too, take more JOY in one republican who
has repented and turned mugwump than
in ninety and nine democrats who have
never gone astray. A near and old friend
of his said to me not long ago: ''Of all
the arid natures ever encountered he
is the most arid. He sympathizes with
nobody, makes common cause with no
body, and IN the most serious affairs
trusts wholly to fortune or caprice"

Lies About the Associated
Press.

Attention is called to an almost uni
versal reiteration by the allipop press of
lies about the associate press; most OF
the writer's believing it true when they
say that the associate press is controlled
by the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany; and when they charge the associ-
ate press with coloring or suppressing
news, and with manufacturing unreli-
able news matter. Yet, even those edit
ors and writer's who know the truth pre-
fer to print the lies.
Men who know anything at all about
the associated press and the work il
does, know that the Western Union, nor
any other telegraph company, has any
thing to do with its control; they know
that no telegraph company, its officers,
agents or employees have anything to dc
with gathering, preparing or disseminat-
ing news, except as common carriers
that the telegraph company carries on
it's wires What the press association gives
it to carry for established rates OF car
rying. The telegraph companies have
no other connection with the associated
press than has the draymsn with the
merchant whose goods he handles.
And any man who knows the truth
knows that every officer. agent, reporter
or other employe of the associated press
is under strict instructions to confne his
news gathering and sending work te
bare facts without coloring; the penalty
