There seems to be an at- mosphere of fear of the rich and a de- gree of persecution against the poor in that department. In this connection I cite the case of Fenton A.

W. Carvin CHase. From The Evening News. An open letter to district Commis. sioner Ross has been writtea by Mr. W- Calvin Chase, whose resiznation as Dis- trict food inspector was recently de- manded by the Commissioners. It is as follows: “Sir: In compliance with your com- munication dated October 10, 1893, re- questing my resignation and the verbal reasons given by Col. Myron M. Parker, the Republican Commissioner haying in charge the Health Department of the District government,in which I was em- ployed, I am constrained to make an ex planation in my own behalf before I tender to you my resignation as food in- spector for the Pistrict of Columbia. “Believe me when I say that I am not actuated by any feeling of regret nor do I charge you with having been unfair to me. Your record as a democrat has long since demonstrated the fact that the negro has never suffered nor has he been unfairly treated by you. ‘The impediment to the race’s advance- ment in an official capacity in the Dis- trict of Columbia has come from certain white Republicans, who have feasted at the tables of colored Republicans and have been elevated and put in power by the sufirages of the negro in the District The act of opitulation in this age, so far as the neg ois concerned, will be found I beheve in the appointment ot men to office whorecognize merit and not because they may be “starving to death” or because they have collected money to corrupt vorers. “Very soon after the inaugu:ation of Mr. Cleveland I called to see you and said: ‘I know a great pre-sure will be brought on you for my place, and when- ever you want it don’t take snap judg- ment, but let me know.’ You said: “Mr. Chase, if the pressure is so strong that I cannot retain you, I shall send for youand let you do the thing hand somely.’ I also informed the’ Republi- can Commi-sioner, who had charge of the Health Department, that I was ready to go whenever my place was wanted, and he informed me that the Democrats were drawing $36,000 more per year than Republicans, snd that he propo-ed to hold as many Republican- as he could. Ihave no doubt he ment white Repub- licans. He also informed several of my friends and persons who called for my place that had an excellent record and no change would be made. “I have made no effort to be retoined nor have I applied toany Democrat. to use his influence to have me retained. I stand alone on my record, The Repub- lican Commissi-ner asked me how long had I been in office. I informed him. He wanted to know did I not think [had been in long enongh and didn’t I think that some white Republican ought to have my place; that he had a white Re- publican on the person of Gen. E. W. Whitaker, who was st rving to death and who had collected $1,900 for the Re publican campaign committee last year and turned it over; that he (Whitaker) had spent all his money in the intere-t ofthe Republic n party. “The Republican Commiss‘oner also said that Simon Wolf had made charges to the effect that he had contributed money for campaign expenses that had not been paid; that Perry Co son and all of his following were opposed to me; that I never centributed money to Re- publican campaigns, but us-d other people’s money, and, last of all’ I did not cover my di t food inspector.

The splendid monument erected by the State of New York in honor of those of its sons who were slain in the battle of Get ys uUe was fomerie Saturday. In the morning a was tendered on Culp’s Hill by his brigade to Major-Gen. George Ss. Greene, of New York, who is in his i ur, and the oldest sur- so battle of Gettysburg. _very presided. On the platform y re Governor Flower, of New York, and staff; Gen. Daniel EB. Sickles, Gen. Henry W. Slocum, Col. Lewis R. Stegman, who was wounded not fifty yards from where he sat, and others. After prayer by Rev. O. W. n, of the One Hundred and the yeterans, of whom there were more than a thousand standing about, sang “America.” Then Gen. Avery in- troduced Gen. Slocum, who made a lengthy speech, in which he gave an account of the battle. Gen. Slocum paid particular attention to the promi- nent and honorable part taken by the soldiers of the Empire State. in this connection he said: “New York’s part on the field of Gettysburg is known to all. Of the Union army on this field about 30 per cent were New York men; of the killed and wounded more than 30 per cent were New Yorkers. When Gen. Slocum finished the veter- ans gave him three cheers. Then Gen. Greene arose to reply. Many of the veterans had not seen him since the close of the war, and the hero of Culp’s Hill was cheered again and again. After Gen. Greene had finished speaking Governor Flower was intro- duced by Gen. Sickles, who said: “There has been a discussion for a long time as to what should be the national flower. We have settled that in New York State. Our Flower is a daisy and here he is.” Governor Flow- er was greeted with laughter and cheers. He spoke at considerable i length, and, in part, said: “This im- pressive scene is the homage which a Q great State renders to its martyr sons. } i i { large} | i | | earrying destruction eople has sent us here to dedicate their token of love to the memory of their soldier dead.

New Orleans, July 3.—Almost with- out warning the relentless waters, pouring through the Rescue crevasse, now 800 feet wide, swept down the New River basin last Tuesday night, in their path. People were imprisoned in their houses and cabins and driven into. garrets and to roofs of buildings. ‘There many of them are yet huddled, enduring the pangs of hunger, for they have no means of cooking food. So far as re- ported ten lives have been lost, and ' there is no telling how many more may perish unless succor comes soon. An idea of the extent and depth of the flood may be formed from the fact that there is from five to seven feet of water at Dutchtown. Capt. Henry Doyal’s house is the only one along the entire extent of New River settlement, a distance of some twenty-five miles, with its floor still above the surface of the flood. It is hoped the steady de- cline of the river will affect the back water, at least sufficiently to prevent any further rise. Two fleets of skiffs have been sent to the rescue. Guards for Gov. Tillman, The operation of the new liquor law in South Carolina, which makes the § e the dispenser of drinking fluids, was begun in the midst of some trepi- dation on the part of the Governor, his feeling in this respect being due to certain threats which came to him | relative to his own safety. these circumstances Governor Tillman had the Executive Mansion guarded Friday night by a number of guards from the penitentiary. There were no developments and the rumors could not be traced to any authentic source. As a result of the law there has been a sudden movement in the jug busi- ness, these articles being seen at many railroad stations bearing all sorts of labels from cologne to vinegar and cholera mixture.
