Following the usual routine of work
this morning it it stated that intimate

Mrs. Thaw visited her husband in the
cell today. The streets were deserted
and she created no particular interest
The announcement that the July Grand
Jury wiil try the Thaw case it responsible
for the rumor that the prosecution hat
unearthed evidence that will likely lead
to the Indictment of at least one other
person as accessory. This makes it like
ly that the charge of -murder will be
brought against stronger minds than

ORATOR OF THE DAY !
Councilman E. W. Bartlett wilt deliver
the oration on the Fourth of July. - Mr.
Bartlett is a pleasing speaker. '' '
Rev J. D. Gillian went to Haines this
morning and will remain over Sunday. '
; the veto Discussion ;
It it a fundamental principle of govern
ment that a public office it a public trust
and the incumbent it accountable to hit
constituency for hit official acts and poli
cies. Proper criticism ' of public policy
and the execution of the la we is to be ex
ercised at all times and It a public right.
My review oif the Mayor't veto of an im
portant ordinance demanded by public
sentiment and welfare , in a well "meant
and sensible petition of citizens and tax
payers was" not intended, nor It it, per
sonal or abusive, but a fair expose of a
public official and hit peurile and sense
less apology for such veto. ' ;
If the galled Jade winces it it because
the exceptions to such veto went i well
taken and their truth and argument etruck
through the hide. The "reply"; upon
personal grounds does not meet the ques
tion, it intended to detract publio atten
tion from ths issus and discussion, of a
publio measure, hence I shall not be
drawn to a level with that official ex-
am not, but he is, on trial) that the. pub
lic interests, good government and better
morals art at stake, hence the readers
of this paper will not care for personal
grievances or personal differences In this
discussion.. , While it it true that I am ' the '
oldest ex-mayor of , this . municipality
and held the office longer than any of my
successors, but not too brig to prevent h y
official reputation or career from compar
ing favorably with that of any of my suc
cessor in offlce-especially with thai of
th latest ft it also true 1 never wag. at
war with public demands or ' guilty of
betrayal of public interests. It it true
that several of my messages to the then
existing council went into the waste
basket instead of the reoords during ' th
last month of my third term, but I . was
not responsible for th Inexplicable -conduct
and unusual preoedure of such, an
august body, and possibly if th present
chief magistrate keep up hi gait, more
of hi wonderful document will find the
earn or worse recepticle before he : has
reached half of his first term certain it is
of geseral opinion that his veto should not
hav been confided to to 'useful a lodg
ment a an official wast basket
I eongratulate-myself that as mayor I
navertquarreled with or dictated to - the
council in existsnce and I never issued
such a insignificant manifesto or insult
to ordinary intelligence as th document'
a a private citizen, I have) attacked. I
know farther that th vetoes I hadf- to
reach, the "waste basket" were legal
expositions of, and official objection to
grafts,and baneful measure by which
th City suffered by th .thousand, that
time ha shown that I was in th right,
and instead of abusing the agitator 1
gladly invite investigation and full criti
cism of very such act and measure of
