To The Editor Of The Erenia0 Critic:
"Quid," who gave expression to his feelings
of Indignation against Comptroller Lawrcncc's
decision In THE CRITIC of last evening" does
not represent the sentiment and feelings OF the
employees of the Government Printing.Onice In
his uncalled.for criticism upon that official,
neither do they wish 1t understood that they
were 80 povcrty-stricken as not 10 be able to
devote one day without pay, I'm common with
their fellow citizens, I'm paying respect
to the memory OF the deceased President, James
A. Garfield. While 1t Is true the office was
not closed by common consent, there would
have been no objections on tho part OF the ON
ploycs to respond to the proposition had It
tablished principle which recognizes the fact
that they are entitled TO certain rights and
lmmunities under the law, which, In the past,
have been ignored by those In authority.

The FIipper Cnsc.

dispatch from San Antonio, Texas, OF Dec.
ID says "Tho arguments I'm the Flippor case
were delivered to-day and the court then ron.
dered Its verdict, but what It is will not be
known until passed upon by the reviewing au.
thoritlcs. The question OF embezzlement was
dwclt upon at length by both sides. The de.
Tense claimed that Fllpper could not be
convicted legally under the charge, and that
aside from that he was entirely innocent OF
any guilty intention or conduct tending to es.
taDiish cmbezzlemcnt; that he had been care
less In his manner of selling commlssarles
toenlistcd men, and to laundries on time, and In
not collecting money, but not dishonest; that
when he discovered his shortage ho was afraid
TO speak OF IL because OF his peculiar position
In the army, and he was thus led into making
q false statement, hoping to be able to raise
FUNDS before required TO turn over. He made
several attempts to raise the moNey, each OF
which failed, and having become embarrassed,
ne attempted TO work out the problem alone.
He Kept his funds I'm trunk from extra pro-
caution, and some one knowing 1t had grad.
uaily distracted money without his knowledge.
He showed from the testimony that Mr.. Flipper
always sustained n good character for In
tegrity, honesty ana good habits. The Judge.
advocate replied, stating that Lieut.. Flipper
was the legal custodian Of Government funds,
and II kept In another place than that pre-
scribed he was answerablc. He cited many
authorities to sustain his claim that II tho
funds were not presented when called for he
was guilty OF cmbezzlemcnt. As n matter of law
IL was not necessary TO prove the actual crime.
He also severely criticised his conduct I'm max.
Ing the false statement and In rciterating II
did not Justify another. At the conclusion OF
this cnse the 1udgc-advocate announced that
he mad no further business to present, and the
court adjourned sine die.

The Observance of sunday.

Our fathers revered the Sabbath. They con.
sidorcd II one OF the strongest bulwarks for
the peace, happiness and stability OF the
States. They threw around It the protection
Of the law. They based II upon the Divine
command, and their wisdom has been vindi.
catcd In the experience OF enlightened and
prosperous people.
And 1t Is TO be hoped that since we have en-.
ioyed the fruits OF tho virtue and piety OF our
ancestors, respect for them and gratitude TO
God shall ever prompt us TO keep the law In
its full force and integrity.
The ago In which we live, while It has been
marked by so much tending to advance the
welfare OF the people, yet It would, at times,
seem almost ready to lay Its axe OF aggression
ut the roots Of this fair tree, which has az.
forded shelter and peace, through generations,
To the toiling, weary children OF men.
"Where there is no Christian Sabbath there
IL no Christian morality, and without this free
institutions cannot be long sustained"
ice Mclean, United States Supreme Court.
"The religious character OF an institution so
ancient so sacred, 80 lawful and 50 necessary
TO the peace, tho comfort and tho respectable
lily OF society, ought alone to be sufficient for
Its protection; but that failing, surely the laws
OF the land made for Its account ought to be as
strictly enforced as the laws for the protection
OF person and property. If the Sunday laws
be neglected or dospised the laws OF person
and property will soon share their fate and be
equally disregardcd."-Un ited states attorney
general Bates

Yesterday, Mt IL M, Col. Herman Otto Hert.
Zog, one OF the most prominent and popular
business men Of this city, passed from life
into death after Il prolonged illness. The de-
ceased was native Of Breslun, Prussia, and
was born In 1880. He came to this country In
1865, and entered into business In Newark,
y. j. At the outbreak OF the war he had
ama's Il considerable fortune, and leaving
his business entered the Union army as q cap.
rtain In the famous Lincoln Cavalry, and
served with bravery and distinction. He was
captured by tho Confederates at Winchester,
and remained n prisoner during the latter por-
ton OF tho war. After the surrender he re.
turned North, but decided TO settle In Washing
ton, and has remained hero since Ho and
MAJ or Shoemaker opened n sample, wine and
liquor house, next to the National Theatre;
their business grew 10 large that they decided
TO devote themselves more specially to tho
wholesale trade, and about eleven years ago
removed to their large establishment a few
doors west There they enjoyed the widest
business I'm this section.
Col. Hertzog was oneiof the bcst.known and
popular gentlemen In this city. His immense
size and genial disposition We're equally
matched. He was the soul OF good humor and
thoroughly amiable and generous In dispose.
ton. The deceased leaves wife and one
child-a daughter. His funeral VIII take

uence, street, near Second.

The Ohio Caucus.

Alto o'clock last night gossipper took u
CRITIC man aside Mt the Ebbitt and whispered
In his ears
1.-THE Ohloans Will caucus tonight"
"where9" asked THE CRITIC, almost below
his breath.
"Can't get onto that part Of the scheme" re.
piled the caucus.polnter.
"What do you know about II anyway" In.
qulred the news reipcr.
"That Ben Buttcrworth said Tie Ohlouns
would idvc injecting tonight"
"MhGt forP"
"Iio didn't say. nut another Man told nie
they intended TO fix up the committee sldtej
though"
And out into the "cold, cold world" THE
CRITIC man went with n rush.
He met another newspaper man down on
pennsylvania avenue. After he had passed his
miserable fcilow-man, he was hailed with:
"CRIrlCl Sec herci Arc you onto the Ohio
racket"
Eyes" ran the conversation.
$50 am /. I've called almost all around nj
the rooms of the Ohio members but they are
all out They are liking up slate somewhere.
Lots hunt em up"
After nm hours leg.wOrk the brace ambled up
to the rooms of the Hon. Ben Butterworth, i
street northwest. When tile door swung open
the caucus was In full view. The turnout was
large. The reporters were informed that II
was "only n social gathering" and that moth.
thing had been said OF the commtteeships 40
far, etc, etc, but the gathering was very
suspicious one to n man manufacturing COM
nlittee slates. What the gathering resulted In
THE CRITIC has been unable to hang onto.

sarah Bcrnhardt BurIesoued.

Tho Vienna people are enjoying parody
called "sarah ut Berndardt," In which the
famous French woman Is burcsqucd to per-
lection. Gallmeyer, who is as stout as Sarah Is
thin, initiates all her faults and affectations,
and excites the most uproarious laughter.
Sarah's little trick of exposing hor pretty
slipper and still prettier silk stocking, In the
moment OF her greatesta agony In "Camille," Is
copied by Gallmeyer, who shows her plump
foot at the proper moment. Even the ovations
which Gallmeyer receives are parodios OF
those made In honor of Sarah. on the last
evening the Frenchwoman had received Tyre
made OF tiowers--which, like Sappho, she held
IN her hands. Yesterday n similar Tyre, but
two yards high, was presented to Fraulein
her hands, affected the same pose that Sarah
had taken with her littielyre.

The store of Mrs. Schaumberg was the scene
OF disturbance the other day In which there
were several participants. A colored man
named VIM. Price offered to sell pair OF boots
In the store, but Mrs. schaumbcrg declining to

the son OF the proprietress, came to the rescue
and fired Price out, but being himself dragged
to the sidewalk, was beaten numerically by
the darby, who proceeded TO wipe up the side
walk with him, when Mrs. Schaumberg camo
to the front with n clothes-prop, with which she
commenced to chastise her sons assailant.
Lieut.. Arnold arrived upon the scene mt this
time and referred tho trio to Judge Smell, who
sentenced the darby to thirty days and dis
