The pastor of st. Chrysostoms
Church, Philadelphia, lately parted
with a silver dollar that had served as
detective of imposture. During that
time he offered the coin to lis starving
men. who had tried in vain to obtain
work, according to their own stories,
if they would remove heap Of gravel
from his back yard. One and all de-
clined the job, though it would not
have taken more than an hour. The
ll4th beggar accepted the offer and the
dollar.

The firemen at fire in Philadelphia
came across kegs in a closet which had
nearly been reached by the flames.
They were supposed to be empty, but
one man took the precaution to examine
them and found them full Of powder.
The men ran out, but they bravely
carried the explosive along.

J0the EditoT Of The E0ehia0 critic:
VIII you please let me have space in your
truly spicy paper 10 follow up what san old
resident" said In the article sJustice Should
be Done Property Holders" printed In your
yesterdays paper. The question appears 10
be, have property owners In Washington any
rights which Congress is bound TO respect
Hundreds OF poor people have had their
houses ruined by radical changes In grade OF
streets. Their claims are on file In the Com
missioner's office. The District Committees
In Congress can get, or should have, a full list
OF them. Annually In their report 10 the
president the Commissioners have referred 10
this largo class Of merltous outstanding
claims awaiting legislation.
fet congress passed bill In 1879, entitled
Dill 10 provide for the adjustment and pay
ment OF all outstanding claims against the
District, and enumerating only certain con
tractors claims. There Is bill now pending
defining tho meaning ana intent Of said bill
Why not amend II SO as 70 include provision
for the settlement OF all outstanding claims
in fact? WIN not those Senators whose special
tax bills were receipted In fun In consldera-
tion OF special damages to their property In
stead Of" special benefits y, now kindly say a
word for their neighbors, who have been
forced 10 pay for Especial benefits, while
their claims for special damages lay IN The
mnsiy nles on Four-and-a-half street.

COWDoN AND THE COMMISSION.
wouldn't Serve on the Commission
"A False Report Explodcd-Why
Certain Members Oppose His Plan.
The Memphis Araldnche says

The Memphis Ardidnche says:
"Now that John Law Eads has lost his grip
and resigned his place on the River Commits
sion, why not put Captain John Cowdon at the
head OF 1t 2 His practical knowledge and good
judgment In that capacity would be Of Infinite
service 10 the country"
THE CRITIC, meeting the genial Captain,
asked him what he thought Of the above sug-
gestion.
81 would hate to be caught In company with
the members of that commission, after the
thorough exposition / have made Of their
ignorance of rivers in general, and the Missis-
sippi in particular. No; the best thing the
Government can do is TO abolish the commits
sion, with Its pretentlous ignorance and
scientific folly, and adopt the only common
sense and practicable plan, that OF the Lake
Borgne outlet; or, rather, fiood-mouth plan"
"Look here, Captain" said THE CRITIC, 81
heard Southern member say that you and
Leathers had lot Of land on the Mississippi
you wanted drained. How is that ?"
"Thats ridiculous falsehood," replied the
Captain. " l don't own foot of land on the
Mississippi or anywhere else. Captain Leathers
owns no land outside OF the city of New Or
leans. This false report may have arisen from
the fact that Captain Leathers made a condl-
tional purchase. for S35,000, of tho Irving
place OF 5000 acres as part of the right OF
way in case we were authorized to construct
the Lake Borgne outlet or flood mouth II 1t
did not arise from q misunderstanding of this
precautionary and conditioned purchase, 1t is
lie out OF the whole CLOTH"
"Why is It, Captain, that the members from
the lower Mississippi are opposed to your
plan?" asked the curious CRITIC.
"For the simple reason that levees are tho
stock In trade of these gentlemen. They have
made them their political capital on which
they have come to Congress. They must get
money for them or their political life Is ended,
and worse with some OF them who mako their
very bread and butter out Of politics. These
gentlemen know that II my plan is glven a
fair trial that 1t will do ali that l claim for
It, That 1t Will do away with the
necessity for levees reclaim the country
and make the navigation OF the river what 1t
ought TO be. When these things are accom-
plished these gentlemen Will be relegated to
private life, as false prophets, and they don't
want to retire Just yet. That's all there is IN
their opposition"
And the Captain looked blandly at THE
CRITIC for moment and then started for an
F'street car, bound to the Capitol.

residence in the District of Columbia
is either an oiense to be punished by

it is unfair to tax their whisky while the

NEXT TO the inspiration of Guiteau, the
innocence of the whisky men is the most

The House Committee on Ways and
Means has given birth to another bill af-
fecting the tariff. 1t is known as the Mar
tin bill, and proposes, by the roundabout
method of drawback" to place ship
building materials on the free list, provided
they are to be used in building ships for
foreign account. The effect of this bill
would be simply to prohibit any American
ship-builder, who manufactures his own
material, from building ships for foreign
account, What was the Hon. Pigiron do
ing while this particular bill for the relief
of the pauper labor of Europe was being
sneaked through his committee.
