FINED FOR DRIVING IN THE CAPITOL GROUNDS
A young man named Geo. White was put on trial
in the Police Court this afternoon on the charge OF
driving wagon loaded with merchandise over the
carriage ways in the Capitol grounds By an act
or Congress, July ], 1882, this is made an offence
(when not going TO or from the Capitol buildIng)
punishable by a fine OF not more than 500. Capi.
tol Policeman Alfred Noyes stated thai he caught
the defendant driving milk wagon through the
grounds this morning. The court imposed fine
OF 81, in default OF which the young man was COM
mitted. This law seems to be very Inconsistent,
for heavy hacks and Herdic coaches are allowed to
drive over the concrete walks In this park, but il
light business wagon that will not weigh one
fourth as much ventures through the driver is ar
rested and fined.

THE civil service reformers and the
Republican Congressional Committee
are having a sharp debate on the ques-
tion of political assessments, viz:
levying a tax of about , per cent on
each man who holds an Office under the
government, for electioneering purpo-
ses. 1t has finally got into Congress
and Mr.. PendletOn or Monday de-
nOunced the circular in severe terms,
declaring that it would be better for
the cOuAtry if the republican party
would thrust its hand into the treasury,
boldly abstract the public money and
charged it up to "soap." Messrs.
Allison, Hale and Conger defended the
circular, claiming that only voluntary
contributions were asked. Dir. Van
Wyck, republican, also denounced the
circular. He argued that it virtually
made a demand upon poor Officeholders
and that the representation of "Volnn-
tary action - on their part was a sham
1t is an Onerous tax on the mem hold
ing office, but it has been a custom fol
a long time. 1t does not matter which
party is in power, it raises campaign
money in this way. In Delaware
Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York il
is done as Systematically as in the
Federal offices but how to break it III
is a grave question to puzzle wisC
heads.

The WAR CLOUD IN THE EAST -
The Baltimore Sun speaking of affairs in
Egypt, says: 1t is an open secret that
England is at length aroused to the
necessity of taking decided action in
Egypt. The force at present under
the command of Vice-Admiral SIR
Frederick Seymour in Egyptian waters
consists of numerous formidable iron
eiads and gunboats, carrying 9,575 men
and 233 guns. OF these some 1900
belong to the royal marine artillery and
light infantry, and naval brigade of
from four to five thousand men can be
quickly landed in case of need. In
addition to the foregoing must be reck-
Oned the new vessels and troopships
which according to the latest dis
patches. are being hurried to the scene
of action. The London Times says edi-
tOrially that 4 it may be taken for
granted that there is something more
than empty sound behind the prepara-
tioRs Of the dock-yards,' and in its
eslHinn of naval and military intelli-
genee states that bodies of expedition
airy troops are being gotten ready at
Gibraltar and Malta, their commanders
and staffs nominated, and every prepa-
ration made for active operations some-
where. The tone of the English press
indicates that in case the conference at
C0nstantiAOple evolves no useful re-
sult-and it promises but poorly

THE committee of Congress charged
with preparing bill in regard to the
prevention of the spread Of contagious
diseases brought together some interest
ing facts in their report. They showed
that the yellow fever has invaded the
country sixty-fve times within this
century. The great epidemic of 1878
caused, in round numbers, 100000
cases, 10000 deaths, and loss Of ma
terial wealth estimated at perhaps
$1OO,OOO,O0O, though this last reckoning,
of course, depends largely on the sup
posed results of stopping business. 1t
showed, in any case, how terrible such
a scourage can be, even with all modern
appliances to check and circumscribe it.

THE readers of the daily press have
been having detached scraps Of EBgi-
neer MeIvilIe's search for the lost crew
of the Jeanette. There is nothing in
history more full of teaFfHI and tragic
interest than the story Of the last thirty
days struggle for life of Lieutenant
Do Long and his boats crew, which is
told in the brief notes entered by his
own hand in his diary for last October.
After one hundred and ten days travel
frosa the wrecked Jeaspette the party
was reduced TO condition where ener-
geEic effort could not have been expect
ed even in the face of death, but yet
f0r another month they struggled on
toward the possible settlements, which
they never found, and kept soul ana
body together by the most careful hus-
banding of the remnants of their stores

siderable capacity for humorous COM
position. Miss Laura Bell read beau
tiful little essay entitled Gates to
Open," from which we extract the
following: Through the dreary wood
land, over the rugged mountains, and
on through the sunny paths of life, we
are constantly in view of gates which
we must open, if we wish to enjoy the
goodly heritage beyond, or to arrange
it for the enjoyment of others. Some
of the gates are high and massive ones
which require great strength to force
open. Others are little wickets easily
turned upon their golden hinges. The
gates of pleasure studded with pearls
and standing slightly ajar ever meet
the eyes of the young, who, Judging by
outward appearances, rush in only to
find useless, weed-grOwn lot. The
path of duty and its portal are less at
tractive and seem locked and barred
so as to prevent an entrance; but
once apply the key of determination
and open flies the gate. Then before
the eye are spread enjoyable scenes"
We also take the following from the
essay of Cove Taylor: {" How like our
efforts to climb the mountains of learn
ing was Hannibal's journey across the
Alps! At first the way is easy and
| there is no hard climbing to do but, as
you advance farther, dangerous rocks
are encountered and the feet, if not
guarded, may slip. But remember
that Over the Alps lies Italy
Although the mountains are steep and
dangerous, and the toll required to
surmount them long-continued and
severe, yet the reward will abundantly
repay every effort. Italy is a gOodly
country. Its cOrnields toss their heads
beneath clOudless sky. Its vineyards
hanging thick with rich and luscious
grapes, swarm on the hillsides. And
similar will be the country which we
shall inhabit after we cross the AL ps Ot

What makes it all the more heartrend-
ing, says the N. Y Tribune, is the be-
lief that once or twice these men had
come near being saved. If the boat
had only landed on the west side of the
mouth of the Lena, they would un-
tlOubtedly have found Upper Bulun.
If they had followed along in the foot
steps of Noras and Ninderman as best
they were able some of them probably
might have had as good fortune as the
two who were sent ahead. The records
determine finally that under the cir
cumstances nothing that Melville or
anyone else could do would have help
ed them. The last man must have
died within a few hours after the last
entry was made in De Longs diary
October 3Oth. This was about three
weeks after Noras and Ninderman
were sent forward for help. If the
Engineer had gone ON to Bulun with
the Russian exiles, he would have
been there on October 2Sth-twO days
before the last note was written by the
diving Lieutenant Commander. NOre
lief party which he could have organ
lied with all possible haste could have
found the men alive. Again, therefore
it can be affirmed that the intrepid
Melville did all that he could to save
his companions. His conduct was
above criticism.

THE strikes of the various trade
unions which have extended to the COM
binations of laboring men, notably the
railroad freight handlers, is threatning
serious consequences. The depots are
crowded with freight because there are
not laborers to load it ON the cars, and
perishable freight is refused. The
strikers want an advance of three cents
per hour and already the losses incurr-
ed by the railroad companies through
the destruction of freight aggregates
more than the three cents advance for
a year. If this war between capital
and labor continues there is possibility
of serious riots like those Of several
years ago, when the soldiery had to be
called on to protect the cities.
