The opposition to Mr.. Black burns effort
yesterday to get an hour of Saturday for the
disposition of the District government BILL in
dicates that some of the members are not sat
isfed with the amendments made by the Dis
trict committee to the bill. From an en-
Quiry made it would seem that one of
the points of objection is the ten-year
qualification for District Commissioners,
which would serve to throw out the
present Commissioners. 1t is earnestly to be
desired that the DIRECTORS to the bill and the
District committee should come to some un-
Outstanding, so that it may have show for
consideration this session. As stated by Mr..
Blackburn, the time is getting very short in
which it can be considered. as unless it is re-
ported prior to the third Monday in May it
must die in committee. Mr.. Cox, of Ohio
seems TO be the most persistent director to
the bill as it stands. We have no doubt
he is entirely conscientious in his objections,
for he is man of large views and not ham,
pered in his actions by considerations of bun
kum," but We trust he will take into consid-
craft the unhappy condition of the people
OF this District and the imperative need that
some action should be taken this session in
their behalf if their property is not to be
wholly cOmfiscated, as twOffths of it has been
already.

The school appropriation, or ''lOan.'' has
passed Congress- and the schools can there
fore be continued through the year. OF course
1t could not have passed without the kind V
disposition of the entire Congress, but the
credit for getting it through SO promptly and
seasOnably is due largely to the personal efforts
of Representative Blackburn and Senator
Window, and the aid OF Speaker Randall
The bill as passed simply authorizes the Com
mi>SiOnerS of the District of Columbia to re-
tain the sum of $4,000 from a fund of si0D,OO)
which the District of Columbia owes to the
general government, and it provides that the
sum shall be deducted from the prOpOrtiOnate
share of the expenses of the government of
the District which the government of the
United States may assume. Though the sum
appropriated is therefore only in the nature of
a loan, vet the naming of the quarter from
which il is TO be repaid appears to be an ac
knOwledged assumption by Congress of "a
prOpOrtionate share of the expenses of the
government of the District

The idea of recOnstituting the territorial ar
rangementS in Europe seems to be spreading
Russia is decidedly in favor of reconstituting,
Greece has no objection to TheSsaly and Epi-
rus, Austria is strongly tempted by Bosnia,
Italy thinks of making descent on the AL
bantam coast if Austria gets any of the spoils,
Germany cOunsels Encouragement, though
Bismarck says that he doesn't want Holland
as her colonies will go to somebody else. Eng
limos policy is opposed to the plan, but in a
general rush for plumber all of her tender con-
sideratiOn for France would hardly prevent
her from Selling Egypt. 1t is more than likely,
however, that before the Encouragement sug-
gested is realized, the parties concerned will
quarrel and come to blows, and no one can
predict how the spOils will be divided when the
Scrimmage shall have ended.

UnWarrant ted Charges.

A writer in the Edgefeld I0uor-
tiser, whose zeal outreuches his
knowledge, recently severely criti-
ciscd the official course of Supcrin-
tendcnt Thompson and Secretary
Sims, than whom no moro capable
Or jealous officers can be found in
tho state. Fault was found with
the former because tho school
money belonging to Edgcfold had
not been apportionod out among tho
townships according to the views IF
the correspondent. Had he OK
amined the law lie would have seen
that tho State Superintendent
merely apportionod the money
among tue counties, the rc-uppor-
tionmcnt among the townships in
oacl county being exclusively the
province Of the school commissioner
whose duties i'll the promises are
clearly defined. The State Super-
intendent has no moro to do with
that matter than with the length Of
the Legislative sessions or the cleo
ton Of Judges
The complaint urged against
Secretary Sims is that besides re-
cciving salary he pockets three
dollars and ahalf for every commis~
sion issued, .bcsiles fees for other
duties. A reference to the law
plainly shows that all fees collected
by The secretary of Stato arc to
be turned into the treasury. This
provisio u has been strictly obcycd
by the secretary. The salary, which
he fully ealns, is all the money he
receives. Thus the accusations
against both gentlemen fall to the
ground.

TIE TEL EPHONE.

There is no account extant of
how the telephone acts when under
fire. The destruction Of tho Tree
Press buildings gave tho little in.
strlmcnt n fiery ordeal to pass
through. The telephone in the
editorial rooms communicates with
the residence of the mana aging
editor, Wm. Il. Qninby, No. TT,
Jefferson avenue, a mile and half
from the newspaper Office. When
tho fire struck tho editorial rooms,
the bell at Mr.. Qninby's residence
began to ring violently. As the
fire increased in intensity the ring
ing Of the bell became more impe-
tuous, pealing in gusts as the fire
seemed to surge around the COM
panion bell in the burning building.
1t was an embodiment of Poo's
lines Oh "The Bells" where the
rising and tho quelling of the fire
could be calculated by tho rising
and tho falling Of the anger of the
bells. At last the clamc" of the
telephone bell became unbearable
to those in the room and the bell
was muffled with cotton which part
~ stopped the alarm. But here the
strangest part Of tho telephones
action comes in. From the speak.
ing tube, came the roar of the fire,
and it would seem that tho swish of
the water from the engine, and the
pouring Of the foods from the roof
could be plainly heard. The crack
ling of tho burning timbers and at
last the crash of floors and falling
partitions came and every sound of
the conflagration in all it's infections
were faithfully reproduced, and the
sudden stoppage Of all sound
showed that communication was
broken and the voice Of tho won
derful instrument stilled by the
scorching fames.-Det,oit Tree
Press.

The Solid South,

Alluding to the report that the
Northern Radicals intend sending
some of their best orators down
South during the coming campaign,
especially in those districts where
they believe there should be Re
publican majorities, the Augusta
Chronicle and Constitutionalist
manifests much JOY of spirit, and
calls for Boss Sheppard and Bah
cock and Belknap and Blaine and
Credit Mobilier Colfax and De Galyer
Garfield, and the accomplices Of the
Florida and Louisiana Returning
Boards and all the Christian States
mon who lead the Republican party
and ftly illustrate its principles.
Our contemporary continues: "They
may travel from Richmond to
Galveston and make bloody-shirt
speeches Mt every station with no
one to molest or mako them afraid.
They may canvass all the districts
In which they believe there should
be Republican majorities,' They
may organize their party, distribute
documents and levy tribute on the
post-office and custom house em-
ployes. They may stay until they
are tired of bucking at the Solid
South, and when they get through
tho people will elect Dom mocratic
congressman in every Southern
district but two"

WHEN THE confessions of NIcI,in
and Dennis, in reference to the
frauds in Florida, wore first made
known, they were treated very
lightly in high circles, and tho New
York Herald especially pooh-poohed
them contemptrously Us too late.
But the moro the matter is stirred
the bigger it gets. It will not
down at any ones bidding. Indi-
cations are that Congress will be
compelled to take cognizanco of it,
and appoint committee of investi-
cation. Sill richer development is
from Louisiana are promised. The
cloud is not larger than a mans
hand now, but wLither it will
spread, mono can foretell.
SECRETARY KEY is also happy as
a clam ut high tide wafer over tho
recent Florida developments. He
knew all along that Tildon had
carried Florida and said so. But
Hayes put him in his cabinet, and he
proposes to stick there. Ho cannot
believe that Ex-Governor Moves
aided and abettod McLin in lis
frauds. Furthermore McLin and
Dennis are such grand rascals ho
does not believe n word they say.
And yet Mr.. Key, Democrat as he
is, forgets that tho words of McLin
and Dennis wero good enough to
believe when they said, year ago,
that Florida had gono tor Hayes.
We're they more trustworthy when
lying than they are now that they
toll the truth? Besides who in the
world is better evidence TINT
McLin stole tho State than NIcI.in
himself7 Mr.. Key is entirely too
happy. We fear it is his salary,
not his president that he intends
to stick TO.

VOTE FOB HODGES.

The defeat of Mr.. Hodg in the Fourth
ward would be State calamity. He stands
in the front rank as the opponent of the
rings which are plundering the farmers, and
his defeat would be an advertisement to the
whole State that St. Pau. Joined in with the
thieves. His prominent position in this
great fight, will give him more friends in the
House among the country members than any
other man we could send from this city.
He ought to be elected as representa-
tive of the State as we'll as the city. The
Washburn ring have contributed to his de-
feat. The Washburn Millers' Association
would rather give ten thousand dollars than
have him elected, because they know he is
honest and cannot be bought to betray the
people.
His opponent, the hypocritical Sunday
school teacher, who goes among the saloons
begging for votes, is the representative of the
Minneapolis ring. They are supplying
him with money to buy votes, not
beca1se they care for him but because thew
fer Hodges. Mead proved himself first
Glass ass in the Legislature last winter.
Starting in to be leader, he disguised every
one, and his presence i'll the Legislature was
positive damage to the city. He is entitled
to no credit nhatever for the bridge bill. as
it was merely bill authorizing the issue of
bonds that the Legislature passed. As it was
submitted to the people it provoked no OPP
position, of course, and would have gone
through if st. Paul had not had represent
alive in either Hnnsa
