THE President yesterday vetoed q
bill that had passed both houses OF
Congress, by which pension would
have been given to a professional pho
tographer, not an enlisted soldier, who
was slightly hurt while taking pictures
where no battle was in progress. The
President does not object to the pen
sioning of soldiers disabled while dis
charging their duty, but, like every other
reasonable man, he protests against Civ
ing pensions to beats, bummers, de-
serters and others who have no claim
whatever upon the government; and
that Congress should pass such bills as
the one referred to, only shows that its
members either have no conception OF
their duty, or else regard the proper
discharge thereof as matter of no con.

INA recent letter to an English So
ciety, President Cleveland wrote as
follows:
"There is much said and written In
these days concerning the relations
that should exist, bound close by the
strongest ties, between the English
speaking peoples, and concerning the
high destiny that awaits them in con-
certed effort. 1 hope We shall never
know the time when these ennobling
sentiments will be less often expressed
or in the least lose their potency and
influence"
But it was only four months previous
to the writing of this letter, that the
President, for some as yet unknown
reason, sent special message to Con-
gress that, had Russia, Germany, or
France, instead of Great Britain, been
the subject of it, would, in all proba-
bility, have involved this country in a
costly and injurious foreign war, and
which even yet may have that effect.
Why Mr.. Cleveland wrote that letter
is one of the most curious puzzles ofthe

EX-SENATOR EDMUNDs, of Vermont,
has been chosen permanent chairman
of the general convention now in ses-
sion at Washington to devise plan
whereby all troubles between different
nations may be settled by the peaceful
process of arbitration, instead by the
natural means of blood and iron, OF
which the ex-senator now processes
profound adherence. But in all the
North, long after MIR. Edmunds had
reached mature years, there was not a
man less disposed toward arbitration as
a means of settling differences with the
people of the southern half of his own
country than he, and only few years
ago he was so enamored of the part
taken by the North during the war be-
tween the States, that he argued against
the repeal of the statute prohibiting ex-
Copfederates from holding commissions
in the army and navy of the United
States, and advocated IFS permanence,

the bank and rolled down, throwing the
passengers about and bringing up most
abruptly at the bottom.
As soon as possible those who were able

PUBLIC SCHOOL TUITION.
Councilman Grinnell Wants the Matter
Investigated.

Mr.. Grinnell Of the Fifth Ward wants
to know how many pupils there are liv-
ing out of town who attend the city
schools without paying tuition and last
night he introduced a resolution In the
Common Council instructing the com nit
tee on education to find out. One com-
ment on this resolution was that 1t was
absurd because Mr.. Gripneli might have
gone TO the school department and found
out that the city receives tuition from
nonresident pupils as follows: I'm prim-
cry and grammar schools, S32 a year; in
the High School, 500 a year, and I'm the
Manual Training high school 800 a year.
In the school year of 1894 the tuition
amounted to S2245, while last year the
aggregate was increased TO S337S, because
of the larger attendance at the Manual
Training school.
1t wasn't necessary for a committee to
be specially instructed in order to ascer-
tain these facts, but on the other
band it is claimed that they
do not go far enough and
a case which came before the committee
on claims is cited as an illustration. A
man petitfoned for an abatement of per-
sonai property tax and stated to the COM
initiee on claims that he was a non-resi-
dent ana shouldn't be taxed in Provi-
dence for personal property. The petit
tiohor Was asheu IL ne hhu any cniiureH
in the city schools and admitted that he
had, that two OF them, after a dozen
years of attendance had graduated from
the High School and that a third was still
a pupil. he wac also asked If he had ever
paid any tuition and said no.
The COMMITTEES suggested that a man
cannot enjoy the privileges of a resident
and avoid his share OF paying for them
by claiming 30 be O nonresident. The
petitioner was asked which he preierred
10 do-pay his back bills to the city for
his children's tuition or pay the tax. He
Withdrew his petition and settled the as
sessment on his perponal rrcperty.
