Naturally, the majority of those now employed in the great building favor any- thing that looks like an extension of the term through which they may continue to place their autographs on Uncle Samuel's pay rolle. Quite as many are there on the outside who want to Fptarm to the places which they occupied prior to tween | the two classes there can be no harmony, no one- | ness of sentiment.

Among thero philanthropists there now seems to be a satisfying impression that the President will shortly accede to their Wishes, although up to the present time the | chief executive has made them no promise. COMMISSIONER LYMAN'S VIEWS. | “Two obstacles stand between the extension of the civil service rules to the government | printing office and our desire,” said President Lyman of the civil service commission to.a | Stan reporter. “One is the jealousy which would naturally be felt by the typographical union, the other is the difficulty we might ex- | perience in providing for practical examina- | tion of those who would present themselves |as applicants for positions. It has been inti- mated to me by persons *ho ought to be con- | veraant with typographical matters that the | first difficulty is not a serious one; that it | conld be removed quite easily, and that it bly would be done by the union itself if the | the incoming of this administration. would report on the #kill or | | otherwise of the person examined, and on | their report would his appointment depend. | The second difficulty—lack of facilities for ex- | amination—may be overcome by the printing office itself. Even at the busiest season of the year there could probably be spared for the use of the examiners small curner of the great | building und when there is a recesa of Congress | there would doubtless be ample room for our purposes. [t must be plain, however, that in no | other ¢ id wo possibly hold euch an ex- ru tie would be necessary. There is but government prin 2 and it 1s lo- soit must be evident that all ex- nations would have to be conducted in this We could not reasonably request the use private printing offices in vurions parta of the unless we were possessed of the tinan- rewithal to remunerate the proprietors. The possession of that is quite improbable.” THE SKILLED AXD THE UNSRILLED.

Mr. Palmer, according to ‘Washington,’ bas much to answer for, and the people of the country have just afforded some Of his victims an opportunity to secure justice in the near future. It will take something more than an iron-bound and copper-riveted law to hold in place some of thowe partisans who so gleefally applauded those decapitations of democrate and the consequent misery.” WOULD BE BENEFITED BY A CHANGE. “Civil Service” wants to know why it is “that the government printing office and that alone of all the different branches of the public ser- vice ix left outside of the pale of civil service protection. Is there any just reason,” he asks, ‘why its thousands of employes should not be protected against the epoile 9) ae well af those of the other departmente? There can be no doubt but that the public service would be greatly benefited by such a change. Under the ‘fufluence’ system ability cuts little or no figure in appointments, and at the beginning of every new administration the government is u loser, both financially and_in the quality of work turned ont, becaise of the hundreds of new and in many cases incompetent workmen who are engaged for political reasons.” THE OX THAT IS GORED, “Anti-civil Service” gloats most ghoulishly over the probabilities that may follow Mr. Cleveland's inauguration. Says “It makes: considerable difference whose ox is gored. Some of the government printing office people see that now.

District Attorney Cole and his assistant, Mr. Clagett, appear for the government and Mesers. A. A. Lipscomb and Joseph Shillington for the prisoner, who had on his left Deputy Springman and on his right his fem- ily. The work of selecting a jury was pro- ceeded with and of the fifty talesmen drawn Were disqualified by sickness, non-residence or opinion and there were a number of challenges. The ‘eat binge completed by the acceptance of Mr. H. Bremmerman, and was as fol- Jows: Emanuel Murray, Ed. J. Hannan, Win. T. Bright, Harry H. Guttenson. Rudolph H. E. Duebring, Jefferson Eud, E. Hopkins, James T. Brashiers, Lemuel F. Lusby. Joseph A. Oliver, Andrew J. Lukei and Thomas H. Brem- The ea ea @ case was opened on behalf of the govern- ment by Mr. Clagett, assistant to the district attorney. He briefly stated that on the 26th of November last Officer Slack was cut to death by the prisoner, and it remained for the jury to A whether the cutting was justifiable. He that on that evening Slack returned to his home adjoining that of Meyers; that hie attention was attracted to the de- fendant by the disorder which he was creating; that he attempted to put him under arrest; that there wasa scuffle between the men; that the wife of the dead man came out of her home = in time to see the defendant plunge a ge knife into her husband; that Slack far- ther pursued the defendant, falling through lose the ‘tico of Meyers’ house drij with ion — Mrs. Mary E. Slack, the wife of the dead officer, was the first witness called. She said her husband was cut the night preceding last Thanksgiving dav and died the following night between 1 and 2 am. Her husband was & mounted pollceman, and they lived on Benning road, just opposite Graceland come- tery. Meyers lived next door, there being no intervening house. Mrs. Sinck then explained the relative position of the two houses on a plat exhibited by the government. Mr. Lipscomb objected to the witness ex- plaining the diagram until it had been shown to be correct, and Mr. Henry W. Brewer, a civil engineer, took the stand, identified the drawing as one which he had made, and stated that it was correctly drawn.

Trefer to our system, or I should say want of system, of collecting ashes, In our alleys one will find barrels and boxes of ashes. Without giving this matter the proper investi- h heap may secm harmless, but beneath the ashes in many cases are rubbish and filth that poison the atmosphere.

Mason, chairman of the commit- | tee on education, rendered a report. It con- tained the information that the churches re- | ported to the committee through their pastors following students “Yor the Bap- tist ministry: Grace Church, 1: Mary- land Avenue Church, 0: Second Church, 1; Calvary, 3; Calvary "lady teachers, 1; First Church, 2; Metropolitan, 4; Anacostia, 0; E | Btreet, 1; Fifth, 1." In adaition to this number pastors reported members of their churchos and congregations studying in Columbian Col- lege and other Baptist institutions. The Catho- lies, Methodists, Episcopalians and Lmtherans, the report said, all see the wonderful advan- tages of our capital as the center of national | education. Asa practical way to enlist the co-operation of the churches the committee recommended that Baptists send their «ons to their own col- lege. ‘The report cqntains favorable mention of Wayland Seminary. The educational com- mittee consisted of O. T. Mason, A. M. Clapp, | ©. B. Smith, J. R. Bradley, J. C. Welling and W. 8. 0.

There was nothing, he said, that so strongly appealed | to the Baptirts’ hearts as the idea of educating | poor young men to go forth and preach the joapel. Rev. Dr. Palmer of Philadelphia also | spoke for the home college. i He believed in ministerial education, but he | also believed in education along all lines. He | hoped that the Baptist heart would be made to | turn toward Columbian University. } Dr. J. C, Welling. president of the university, | also spoke in its interest. Their plant and | roperty, he said, represented a value of $1'000,000 and they hada working endowment of $250,000, Mr. J. L. M. Carry, ex-minister to Spain and agent of the Peabody and Slater educational fund, the next speaker, indorsed thesentiments of Prof. Mason and Dr. Welling. Tt was, he asserted, a painful fact that the Baptists had not given greater attention to higher education. He said this in connection with the statement attributed to Dr. Harper that competent professors could not be found to fili the chairs of the Chicago University. Rev. Dr, Ellis made a powerful plea for Columbian University. He believed in its futare. It was only a question of time when its claims would be recognized by Baptists throughout the land. The same amount of money put into the Chicago University would, if put into a similar institution in Washington, produce double the result. The report of the committee on education | was adopted. j MISSION Work. Tbe committeo on missions, consisting of D. C. Grayson, Glenn T. Jones and W. F. Carter, presented its report.

Division Chief Sutherland of the census for alleged conapiracy to prevent democrats from voting, has made this confession to the pohic home is in St. Lottis, Mo. twenty-seven years old. About a month ago I was employed at New York by Dave Martin of Philadelphia. He was et that time at republi- can national headquarters. Acting under in- structions from Martin I came to this city No- vember 4 and occupied a room at the Troy Honse. While in Troy Imet several prominent republicans. On my last visit here I remained two days; was in room 6 at the Troy House with Congressman Quackenbush. Zeph F. Magill, chairman of the republican county committee: Archie Aston and. other republicans when I was arrested. At that time I had about $2,000 with me. This moncy was given to me by Martin before I left New York. We all met in | the Troy House by agreement. When the police entered the room I threw the money on the bed CONFESSION. ckage of money was taken in charge by Zeph Fo tagal, A man who gave bisname as Denni- son also accompanied me to this city from New York. He was to steer Bob Magee, who had charge of the excursion steamer Belle Horton. Provision had been made to furnish the boa? with 800 loaves of bread, a dozen hams, some cheese and cight keps of larger, in addition to whisky. The plan was to take 350 democrats down the river below Albany and keep them there until the close of the polls. Dennison and Magee were to assume active charge of this | business, and while Magee obtained the men | Dennison would see that they were paid €5 or #10 each. I wasto handle the money.” Sutherland we examined on Monday next. Heis c with conspiracy against | the elective franchise under section 41 of the penal code. This section makes ita crime to offer inducements to any voter to remain away from the polls, The punishment may be not | more than one year in the penitentiary or not | more than @500 fine, or both euch fine and im- ent. Archie Aston is an employe in, the custom house at New York and a resident of Troy. He has been arrested and indicted for an as- sault on Police Superintendent Willard and Capt. Dempsey at the Troy House when Suth- erland was arrested. He was taken to Troy last night. Other arrests may follow. The Bob Magee who was to have charge of the boat is ex-convict. He had recently broken jail at Hudson. The excursion to the democrats was broken up by Chairman Murphy of the democratic committee and the chief of police, who had learned of the plot, and subsequently raided the conspirators. It will be remembered that ome days ago a dispatch from Troy intimated that Mr. Platt was connected with the affair, but he indig- nantly denied all knowledge of it. ee Real Estate Mattera. A. O.
