THE IRON GUN JOB.

When the Senate comes to act upon the
Fortifcations Appropriation Bill it is to be
hoped careful attention and full discussion
will be given to the appropriation for heavy
guns to be manufactured by the South Bos-
ton Iron Works. Senators should consider,
firstly, whether it is not wasteful to pay for
iron cannon as much as steel guns of the
same calibre would cost if procured from
Herr Krupp, of Essen, and, secondly, whether
it is sound policy to begin system of hav-
ing our heavy ordnance manufactured by
single private firm, necessarily monopoly,
as was openly confessed in the House when
this bill was passed 1t should also be re-
membered that none of the four guns con-
tracted for from this company last year have
yet been delivered and tested, and the peril
nent question asked, whether it would not
be the commonest prudence to see how the
first installment turn out before ordering a
fresh lot. 1t is safe to say that the Ordnance
Department of no European army would
have these iron guns at any price, and it
does not need an expert in modern gunnery
to tell Senators that iron has already been
superseded by steel not only for ordnance,
but for ships, armor, railways, and every
other use where strength and durability is
desired. The only safe and proper thing for
the Senate to do is to strike out the appro-
priation for these guns, for it is job of the
worst kind, because it is the entering wedge
for long series of jobs, and because the
money spent on iron ordnance will be sim,
ply thrown away.

George Eliot.

The following brief obituary notice of
George Eliot appears In the Pail Nal Gazetts Of De-
cember 23 and Is probably from the pen Of Its editor,
Mr.. John Morley; IAN announcement In our news
columns this afternoon will MI the public with grief
and concern. The great writer whom the world has
admired and Ievered as George Eliot Is no more.
Those who had the privilege Of her friendship Will
feel that not only great writer lost to the world
but lofty, a magnanmons, and an Inspiring charac-
ter. The critics had many things to say of George
Eots art, though criticism ever found In It either
words thoughts that We're trivial or ignoble. In
TRUTH artist though she was, those who knew her
were well aware how the best qualities OF her work
spraDg from the reality and depth OF her Interest In
human life. 1t this noble concern In the strangely
woven destinies OF men and women In the irony Of
character, In the traglcomedy OF circumstance, which
gave TO her conversation nobility and impressveness
which will remain among the cherished memories Of
all who enjoyed It. The glow OF the eye, the inelodl
earnestness Of the voice, the sympathy Of accost,
added charm Of their own. The bonehcenee Of her
spirit was unattalned by any element Of tile senti
mental. From that she was preserved both by Wig
Orous and alert Of hunOT and, still more, BY
reasoned knowledge Of the chain Of inexorabe forces
which make human beings and human life what they
are 1t has often been said that her books deeply
nged with melancholy and 1t Is true that they are
one Of her most constant thoughts turned ON the
waste of force In the world. The same thought is
surely uppermOst In our minds to-day, as we learn
that so commanding Intellect 30 noble spirit, has
passed away from among us. ~

LEE IN WA.SHINGTON.

If there is any perilous glamour lingering
about life in Washington " for the unini-
tiated and unwary, the publicity of the
Christiancy case, where Senator beats his
wife and she knowingly compromises herself
with foreign thing on two legs which prints
her letters out Of revenge, may serve one
useful purpose in the world. There did seem
danger at one time that the vast flood of
romance rushing out from this city in the
way of sensational letters and kilograms,
swelled by occasional flash novels in book
form and the adroit burlesques published in
the Capital under the pretense of being
pictures OF actual society, would infect
Young America with notion of gilded vice.

temptations existing in republican metro

ACAUTION IN CHARITY.

II is reported that a number of colored
women came in from Ivy City for relief" in
Washington last week. This incident ought
to remind every one of the old-time danger
from spasmodic and eruptive generosity such
as We have witnessed in this city during the
recent Arctic weather. Working without
settled system, that is to say, as far as one
year to another is concerned, this lavish but
indiscriminate giving of money can have
but one effect, in the long run-to bring in
from the surrounding country the always
waiting horde of paupers and petty criminals
Washington is still struggling and laboring
to be delivered from ever since the war. At
the mere rumor of open soup-houses, clothing,
and other aims, they come down like crows
on corn-fsld. The only way to induce
them to move on again is through the ex-
pensive machinery Of courts and workhouse,
or by a second process of starving and
freezing, which is equally trying to them and
the feelings of their neighbors. Washington
is a city too limited in means to afford sup
port to professional pauper class, even
were it morally right to undertake such a
task. 1t is not too much to say that one
half those receiving the dole in this city year
after year are able.bodied men and women
who should be out in the country earning
during the summer what would keep them
comfortable and independent during the
winter. AS long as there's chance of their
being fed and clothed here, their natural i'm
providence will lead them to depend impli-
city on that. We mention these facts not
in any spirit of unkindness, but because they
are of common notoriety, and the public need
only have them recalled to mind occa-
sionally. 1t is of course palpable truth
that the objects Of charity must De kept
alive until any process for their amelioration
can reach them, but the better work Of
making them self-sustaining should begin at
once. 1t is SO done, We understand, in
Boston, in parts of Philadelphia, and other
places where the new method " of charities
has been introduced. Charity, in fact, is
not duty which man can commute by
giving money, no matter to what amount.

depreciation OF sturdy vagrants and those
who find themselves unable TO hire labor

An anecdote of the last festivities at Sand

The Capital accuses us OF giving the De-
partment officials taify." Now that is only
because THE SUNDAY HERALD and the Capital
have widely different points of view. Our
neighbor would rather say something to
make the subject of its remarks feel un-
pleasant than to make him feel comfortable.
We, on the other hand, always prefer to say
pleasant things of people when we can. We
should not feel proud of having written the
article on Senator Conkling in last Sunday s
Capital, for example. And as to our alleged
"tafy" to civil servants, we believe it will
seem to be no more than just praise to any
editor as well informed as we are about the
Government bureaus and their officers. We
know that the public service is full of men,
from the humble messenger up to the chiei
clerks and heads of bureaus, who are capa
BILE, honest, and industrious. The only
wonder is that the Government is so well
served in spite of our most vicious spoils
system. We do not envy the Capital tn,
spirit which delights in finding evil insteat
of good in mankind. No, not "tafy,'
neighbor, but wholesome and honest praise
