Discrimination Against Veterans.

icgardtotho complaint that veterans were
si roost Invariably certified to Inferior posl
tlocf. Commissioner Kdgcrton said; "This
is a very foolish complaint. Tho 1751th
section of the llcvlsed btatutcs savs that
jcrsots honorably discharged shall have
tho preference, and sectlou 7 of the Ch II
fccrvlce Act specially reserves this right to
those to whom it belongs. Now, If a sol
dier passes only tbo limited examination. we
can only certify him to tho highest position
tow bleu that examination woutd entitle
lilm, viz., 'jUOO; but If he passes a general
examination, we invarlablv certify biin for

1 he Ilmmons trial, that came In with
such a rush for seals, Is drawing to a
close with scarcely a lnlMUlel court
room at to day's sesslou. This In all
probability Is largely owing to the con
tradictory announcements male by the

yesterday was that no ladies would be
admitted whatever, but ihU morning a
number called, hut a chosen few only
were admitted. This discrimination
with empty teats awaiting Ihem has
