NEW FTRE-ALARM TELEGRAPH

General Chapman introduced in the
House of Representatives, on January 26, a
bill which was referred to the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds, making
an appropriation of $4,000 to aid in the
construction ola new fire-slarm telegraph
for the District of Columbia. This is q
just and equitable measure, and should
promptly pass. At the recent meeting of
the Legislative Assembly the sum of &45, 900
was appropriated for the purpose of con-
structing the new line in the most approved
manner, with one hundred automatic non
interfering boxes. When the proposals for
bids were opened the Mcssrs. Gamewell, of
New York. the owners Of all the best
patents, were the only bidders, and their
price was S'5, 0O0-a sum which they aver
is far cheaper than any line of similar size
which has been built by them in the
United States.
Tie bill of General Chapman provides
that there shall be twenty additional boxes
placed on the Government buildings, and
only so much of the appropriation used as
will pay the difference between the District
Appropriation and The sum charged. As Q
matter Of selfintcrest the Government owes
it to itself to make this small appropriation
for the better protection of its vast property
in the District which has heretofore been
taken care of by the local fire department
without any cost or assistance whatever.
1t is needless to mention that the present
fire-alarm telegraph is old and dilapidated,
and does not in any particular meet the
requirements Of the new Washington

ADEN0CRA TIC ORGAN ON'7s.

: The New York World yesterday con-
tanned very amusing article upon the sub
feet of the Changers, the next Presidency,
and the Democratic party. Sur contemporary
disposed of the whole question in less than
. column, elected the next House OF Rep
Eesentatives, Overthrow the present Repub-
iican majority, and settled the next Presi-
dental contest with an ease and an agility
that cannot but command the highest ad-
niration. Granting the Worlds premises,
the humiliation Of the Republican party
and the restoration of the purified Democ-
racy 10 power would not be very difficult
undertaking; but the trouble is that the
positions of our contemporary are very far
from being correct. Its assumption, in the
first place, that the Changers and the Demo
Gratis respect each other motives and aims,
and as such are willing to unite in the great
duty of the hour-to weaken and disorgan-
ize the Republican party-is an assumption
which has no foundation in fact, so far from
the actual truth as to be ridiculous.
There is nothing about the present Demo
cratic party as party which the Changers
as party, or body, ever did or ever will
respect, unless they lose their senses. They
have not a single idea in common. The
Changers seek honest administration of the
Government. Wherever the Democracy
has been in control of late years it has been
anything but honest. The Changers want
cheap transportation: internal improve
ments by the General Government. The
Democratic party in every State convention
which has been held since the Changers
come into existence has opposed and de-
nounccd the proposition. 1t SCOTS at rail
road control by the Federal authorities; il
laughs at the suggestion that the United
States should build. or aid in building,
either railroad or canal. All shat it offers
as the remedy for their grievances and dis
tress is the nostrum of free trade, the SOW
crcign cure which the Democratic
party is always ready to stick upon
every sore on the body polite. That the
farmers can be fooled by such chaff is
absurd. The game of the World is told by
ITSELF ''On the other hand, the Democratic
organization has its own separate work,
which it can perform with more efficiency
by keeping clear of alliances, which would
}ewer its tone and abateits ZEAL Lower
its tone" is decidedly refreshing. at can
hold all its own Members majority of
the white citizens of the country-in COM
pact, irrevocable phalanx; and, as the in
evitable dissolution Of the Republican
party goes on, the moral weight of the
Democracy will steadily increase by
growing public sense that il is the strongest
Of the three existing political organiza
hons" If events would order themselves
at the bidding of the World, there would
he no trouble whatever about it; but the
difficulty is they will not. The Repu6li-
can party is not fastening to inevitable de-
Struction in the immediate future, and the
wonderful arithmetic man of our cotempo-
rary must figure out Democratic victory
IN some other way.

THE DISTRICT INVESTIGATION:

THE DIS1RICI In J ES1IGAIION.
The petitioners who have been clamoring
for the last two weeks for an investigation
into the affairs of the District, who have
been instigating charges of bribery, fraud
and corruption against the local authorities,
will soon have an opportunity to make
good their assertions and to prove the truth
of their allegations. In the House yester-
day, as will be seen by reference to our
news columns, a committee was appointed
TO act with similar committee to be ap-
pointed by the Senate. so that the memo
rialists have obtained all for which they
asked. We have opposed the investigation,
although we foresaw from the beginning
that il was inevitable. We opposed it upon
the ground that it would bring more of in
jury than OF benefit TO the District We
had not then and have not now the most
remote idea that the charges that have
been made can be sustained; that the pure
minded patriots who are leading in it can
produce any evidence to show that the ad
min.,tration of the city has been of the
character ascribed TO il by set of pestifer-
Gss papers, printed by angry and disap-
pointed editors, in other places. The whole
affair seemed to us reckless waste of time,
land we are confident that such will be the
verdict Of Congress and Of the country in
two or three months, when it is all over.
sMssevhiIe We asall have very great dis
s1ss and su15ering amoag the poorer Glasses
0zfls our Distinguished na..ionaires are
a1unsing themselves at the expense q, the
pabiic. There can be NO doubt that II the
mSicontents who have been opposing the
new government since it went into opera
lion had had the manliness and the patriot
ssm to sink FOR once their petty spite and
malice, and unite with those who are en-
aeavoring to advance the interests Of the
city, that We should have been treated fairly
and literally by the General Government.
The contractors who have been unable to
obtain full compensation for the work which
hey performed months and months ago
would all be paid, and the suffering laborers,
instead of running around the town with
'torders" upon this and that trader, would
have some little money, SO that they would
make their purchases where they pleased.
But all this has been defeated now, and the
working classes will have to wait still
longer for the relief which they have been
10 anxiously expecting. And all because

make money out Of the transaction. The

The elections now taking place in Great
Britain and Ireland will continue for two weeks
yet, and will comprise G5S members of the
House of Commons, divided as follows 396
borough members, 256 county representatives
and 6 from the universities. The few scatter
ing elections of last year were unfavorable to
Gladstone, and the present contest is the most
animated and closely contested that has taken
place for . long time. Gladstone's position
upon the disestablishment Of the Irish Church
has made him enemies among the Protestant
clergy, while it has failed to secure any SUD-
port from the Home Rulers. His Irish univer-
sity bill, upon which his Ministry was defeated,
is also still unpopular, and although
he is able to promise . reduction of
taxation, and shows q healthy condition
of the finances, the indications are very strong
that he will not be sustained by the people.
The Conservatives are exceedingly confident
and plucky and do not hesitate to claim an
easy victory in advance. But it appears quite
doubtful if either party will he able to carry
the country by decisive majority. The mid
die and working classes who advocate home
rule for ireland hold obstinately aloof from
both Gladstone and Disraeli, and claim that
they will be able to show q strength of their
own equal to seventy five or eighty members
Should their expectations be realized and their
successes be equally drawn from both old par
ties we may have the unusual and novel spec
tacle oil the real consistent friends of ireland,

house of Parliament with ability to dictate the
