Th desDatches from Washington announce, with meagre lineage, that th United States Senate passed the pension appropriation bill, just as it came from committee, in the full sum of $163,000,000, in FOUR MINUTES , TIME, including the $25,000,000 ad vance on last year's allotment in this Without disparaging for an instant t,nnr,rah!e claim of every veteran in the land, and of every veteran's wid ow and children, we are compelled to note the marvelous celerity witn which this enormous sum of the peoples money; is voted from the treasury, in contradistinction to the toiling, moiling, laggard and conten tious time devoted to other great and instant demands of administra tion. We cannot dispense with this tremendous item with any such brevity as .that wherewith it is her . aided to the country; we know the "pension" claims and bills ar-all a matter of strict and regular proce dure, that ihey are calculated, for- mutated ana presemcu wu vv. and (perhaps) faultless accuracy and p(irrt- nut IK niyyam, "J i' sonal .immaterial fashion of hurling this vast amount of government mmipv abroad', smacks of something far worse than mere routine intimacy fcnnorable claim of every veteran in with the function, and reflects serious- iv imon the doctrine of careful super 3Tid miblic care for the common weal imposed upon the Congress of the land.

Former Chief of Police on Trial for Conspiracy to Defraud City. CHICAGO, 'April 29. In the crim inal court, before Judge Chetlnin to day," will begin legal battle which promises to be one of the most re markable in the history of Chicago. Several hundred witnessei will be called on to testify, and all the old animosity of a bitter political cam paign will be reopened. The case is that Of the people of the State of Illinois acainst John M. Collins, for mer chief of "police and Frank D. Lomcrtoru, lormcr ponce attorney, i who are charged with conspiracy to uciraud tne city ot imcago oi uic services of its policemen. The prosecution will be conducted 6y States Attorney Healy and his as sistant Jas. D. Barbour. Attorneys Nathaniel C Sears and James Hamil ton Lewis will represent Former Chief Collins. Attorney Comerford will plead his own case. The prosecution expects to show that 300 or more policemen by the direct orders of Chief Collins and of Police Attorney Comerford, were taken from their regular duties short ly before the election of Mayor Busse and set to work campaigning for the re-election of Former Mayor Dunne. Some were at this work, it is alleged for as long as two weeks. The indictment Is under the old conspiracy law, under which many convictions for the misuse of public funds have been obtained, but the de fendants denie that such an offense as the. misuse of labor is within the contemplation of the statute. FOR IH W M Nin davs ago the local option agitation oened up in this city; al most day and night the people m interest, for, and against, have been striving to meet on a common ground of expediency and ward off Via rlimaic of oooular expression on the issue at the June polls. All efforts have failed and the matter goes up to the people of' precincts Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. So far as .we have been able to analyze the situation, the beginning of the whole thing rests with the man or men who set on foot the petition to open up No. 7; superinduced by the flagrant and determined refusal of a majority of the saloonmen to observe the Sunday closing law, and the laches of the officers of the law in failing to bring them to time. The whole thing is unfortunate, in opportune and needless, at this time. Unfortunate, because it injects in to a pending campaign elements that invariably tend to embitter ana in volve the electorate and widen the field of acrid and vain discussion; in nnnortune. because it hampers and narrows the efforts that should be given largely and generously to the iisheies interests of Astoria, the chief, the most valuable,; element of public concern in' this city, valley and btate and rankine with the local option issue in importance, and in some ways ' exceedine it; needless, because th chance was placed fairly and square ly in the hands of people in place i .-.(-' - otimiii'il il and did not. i ' " " At all events, it is now where ther will be no discounting results what ever they may be: The people them selves are going to settle it ; after thir own resistless fashion. And by wav of forecast, we venture the state " r.ient that No. 7 will remain Mry"; Nos. 2 and 5 will go "dry", and Nos. - 3 and 4 will remain 'Vet."1 The whole things is thoroughly understood in the city; there are no ambiguities sur- rouiiding it; the merits are known A EDITORIAL' SALAD Following the Denver Convention Judge Parker will again seek the se clusion of Esopus.
