Two Government Services.

Two Government Services.
Editor The Washington Herald:
AS a constant reader OF The Washing
ton Herald. I nave frequently observed
your editorial comment on the retirement
Of the government clerk In this cOnnec-
ton you sometimes compare the occupa-
ton, pay, &c, of these men with the OFF,
GERS and enlisted men Of the army. I am
an enlisted man and am not in a position
10 argue the point as TO officers in this
connection.
The initial pay OF an enlisted man Is
SIS per month, subsistence, clothing, and
medical attendance. After thirty years
Of service we are retired on three-fourths
OF the maximum pay. which is. for the
great majority of us. s24 per month. max
Ing our retired pay SIS per month, What
say your clerks to retirement on SIS per?
But the most important point about the
retirement business is, how many retire?
IN my nearly twenty years service now
recall fifteen of my comrades who sue
ceeded in completing the required thirty
years.
After twenty years service we are
giVen the privilege OF the soldiers
Home: also. under certain conditions. a
Lsion quite adequate TO supply the sim
pie needs of a soldier, that would probably
be sufficient to supply your clerks with
theater tickets I do not mean 10 depre-
cate Uncle's Sans liberal pension policy
l simply wish 10 show that all Of the
privileges would be scoffed at by our
81 900 and S1.5O0 clerks.
So much for comparison of pay and al
lOWances Now as 20 comparison OF the
two occupations for duty. Pen pictures Of
chasing the Indian on the Western
plains, remembering the Maine" at Sam
tiago, scaling the walls at Pekln, China,
or making the Samaritan good at Samar
F. l., all make delightful reading. but to
compare the duty OF the poor devil in the
ranks. who went through these cam
paigns, with those of the clerk who files
returns or keeps a card index up TO date
in well ventilated office, must result, II
is believed. IN the minds Of all fair-mind-
ed men, in acknowledging that the soldier
is little more entitled 10 retirement, &c.
than the clerk.
II is sincerely hoped that something
may be done TO relieve the old govern
ment clerks who are now being sepa-
rated from the service. To accomplish
this some man OF influence should tell
these gentlemen that at least a part OF
their troubles Is due 10 their own i'm
prudence and induce them 10 submit 10 a
contributory plan. His brother soldier,
for a great many years, contributed 10
the support OF the Soldiers Home.

Lattice screens for Inns.
From Cycling.

From CYCLING
Many quaint old inns are to be seen in
Kings Lynn and the sign of the Lattice
Inn Is one of the oldest in existence. In
the olden times the windows OF inns were
kept open. and in order to hide the reveI-
ersI within q lattice screen, painted red,
was placed in the window.
There IS an old saying: "As we'll known
by my wit as an alehouse by red lat
tiee" The lattices continued up to the
beginning OF the eighteenth century and
when they disappeared from the windows
they were adopted as signs. The latter
are getting very scarce and ii is ques-
tionable whether half dozen could be
found In this country.

PRACTICE IN CRIMINAL CASES.
Where Prisoners Counsel Could Not
Address Jury.

From the London Chronicle
It seems hardly ereditable that less than
century ago counsel were not allowed
to address a jury in defense Of a pris-
oner. Sydney Smith first preached against
this cruel law.
He pointed out that while in any court
where property was concerned counsel
was heard on both sides, in court where
human life was trembling in the balance
only the prosecuting counsel was heard.
and 1t was unfair 10 match a prisoner,
unaccustomed 10 marshal facts and una
bic TO speak, against skilled counsel,
whose sole purpose for its own Teputa-
ton was to win a case. Sydney Smiths
eloquent words led 10 the passing OF the
prisoners defense act, 1870, which altered
the practice.
Another unjust practice. which was Pc
culiar TO the Old Bailey was that wnen
an accused person was acquitted he was
obliged TO pay the fees of NewgAte or go
back for want OF money. SO many unfor-
tunate prisoners died in Newgate through
this that 4liuerman Brown, lord mayor
in 1893. caused an order Of the court to be
made that when any accused persons
We're acquitted by their country they
should instantly be discharged In court

order which has been strictly adhered TO

oner was hard to satisfy and juryman

box. However. all things come to an end.
even In ireland, and at last the swearing
Of the jury was completed. And then the
prisoner leaned over the dock and sought
the ear OF his solicitor. THE jury's all

ye must challenge the judge. I've been

Much personal Liberty"
Editor The Washington Herald;
Since We have seen many cases OF IN
fantile paralysis. caused by tobacco
smokers putting poisonous nicotine into
the faces. nostrils. and lungs Of small
children. and knowing. as we do, that
tobacco smoke sometimes paralyzes
grown people, then it is plain that the
strong arm Of the law should do some
thing to diminish the impudence and in
jury Of smokers IN public places.
Surely personal liberty does not mean
such freedom OF action as carries to
others harm. and at the same time the
smoker is hurting himself. Smoking
hurts the eyeslght and hearing. It pol
sons the blood, brain, and body. It brings
disease TO the heart lungs. liver. and
kidneys. Smoking is the companion of
the idler loafer. gambler, drunkard, and
criminal Il is always the habit of the
Iicentious. immoral and grating fellow.
II brings on poverty. strikes, and riots.
Let us hope in future IL may not be
such nuisance in parks and public
buildings. JAMES G. KENT.

Neither can it be truly said that the
money situation in the country warrants
the assertion Of those who maintain that
conditions are ripe for steadily rising
prices Of securities. While money is
cheap in Wall street and in pretty nearly
all financial markets for day-to-day loans
secured by collateral that can be easily
turned into cash, IL is not cheap TO any
other borrowers. A species OF money
stringency really exists everywhere. and
there is disagreeable talk of an issue OF
emergency circulation" by the banks in
Chicago.
During the summer money was kept
easy by the subsistence OF speculative
enterprise in al directions. and directly
so far as this center was concerned, by
the transfers OF money mere from West
ern centers, owing TO the strong efforts
taken by the local banks to re-enfoTce
their reserves against the usual autumnai
financial demands. If these precautions
had not been taken a grave state OF af-
fairs would undoubtedly have resulted at
the present time AS Il IS somewhat
easier, money is looked for by the bank
ers after about the 18th or 10Th OF Janu-
airy, but with bank loans standing so
heavily in excess of deposits as they do,
and with the Western farmers engaged in
another EFFORT 10 hold their crops for
higher prices, thus locking up money that
would ordinarily be placed az the dis
posaI of the financial markets. IL still
remains a matter for careful investiga-
ton as to how great a reduction IN time
money rates as differentiated from call
rates can be looked for.

New Process Of Staining Glass.

The glass first receives It's design In

fired in a heat so intense that the col

feature Of this method is that the sur
