The Bartholdi Liberty.

1t is gratifying to learn that one at least
of the many public enterprises founded upon
private subscription, of which the last few
years have been 80 prolific, is assured against
failure 1t is all the more gratifying because
this particular enterprise is one involving
more or less Of national pride and interna-
tional courtesy. The Bartholdi statue of
Liberty Enlightening tho World" will be
put in place on Bedloe's island some time
during the summer months, sufficient money
having been subscribed to pay for the work,
or very nearly pay for it, What little is lack
ing can be obtained without very much
trouble. The proposition to place this gigan-
tic figure at the entrance of New York
harbor may not be free from objec-
ton, but tho idea has at least
sentimental merit, and tho gift of tho
statue, coming as it did from tho French
people, and not from government nor from
any particular class, has an inestimabe and
flattering value as an evidence of good will
on the part of people kindred with us in a
lovo ofliberty, and bound to usby many ties
of old association.

Frechman's Hospital Dlsbursemsnts.


A table showing the disbursements for the
Froedman's hospital from July 1, 1881, to
juno 30, 1882, has been prepared in the Office
Of the first comptroller of the treasury. The
total appropriation was S44, 500, of this
amount $500 was for salaries and compen-
sation, $1,000 for fuel and lights, and 81, 500
for medicines and medical supplies. These
specific appropriations were all exceeded.
The excess on account Of salaries and com
pensation was $3,096; on account of fuel and
lights, 1901, and on account of medicine and
medical supplies 1864 making total excess
OF $3,661. There remains, however, an un-
expended surplus of the same amount, made
mp as follows: $780, on account Of the APP
preparation for clothing, &c $549, on account
of subsistence, and S252 on account of repairs
and furniture. The first comptroller rules
that the disburing officer is bound to observe
tho specific appropriation, and has accord
ingly disallowed the excess of 1861, on the
ground that it was illegally disbursed. The

Police CaIisthenics.

For submitting to impositions that would
cause riots in other communities the Wash
ington people long ago became famous, They
have quietly existed under the burdens of
grasping gas company, and pursued the even
tenor of their midnight way down unlighted
streets and inviting but precipitous area ways,
with the most patient forbearance. Once in
a while, perhaps, the widows and ophans Of
some dislocated deceased would lift their
voices in plaintive indignation, but these
spasms neither increased. the size of the
street lamp burners nor the quality of ths
gas Neither did they regulate the move
ments of the clouds on moon nights, and
consequently nocturnal pedestrians calmly
and with great regularity continued to take
headers into cellars and sewers. Yet the gas
company was mere nothing to another ter
rible wrong which the Washington public
has suffered for many years. Thepolicemen
knew nothing at all about calisthenics!
The members of the force could uphold
lamp posts all day and occupy cozy vestibules
all night as successfully as any other police
on the face of the earth. Their snores
were musical and voluminous enough to sat
isfy the critical demands of even Morpheus
himself, and in holding sly flirtations with
kitchen maids and cooks they deserved to be
cassed as the most successful of uninformed
dudes. But all their accomplishments went
for naught in the public eye when it was re.

Whisky for Bermutla,

Judge French, assistant secretary of the
treasury, who has been spending a few days
in Virginia, returned to Washington yoster-
day He says that he visited Newport News
while away and learned that vessel was
about to sail for Bermuda with cargo Of
5000 barrels of whisky, and it is expected
that many thousand barrels more will be
shipped during the season for that place, 1t
is stated that the shippers will re-import the
spirits at Newport News and ask the govern
ment to put it in warehouse for three years,
Judge French says that this question will be
considered and decided by the department

gretfully remembered that not wearer of
baton and buttons know single thing about
calisthenics. The citizens asked each other
time and again how it was possible for
policeman with no calisthonic training to
arrest thief or law breaker Of any sort
Local philosophers spent weary hours and
burned barrels of midnight oil in praise
worthy endeavor to ferret out tho cause for
this anomalous power, but their efforts were
rewarded by nothing The fact remained,
however, that the policemen did make ar
rests, and Mai. Dye thought the matter over.
He logically reasoned that If policeman
without calisthenic training could arrest
so many thieves in certain time, ho would
be able to make many more arrests when
he became familiar with the sticks and dumb
bells. Ho accordingly Issued an order that
the members Of the force should be given
calisthenic lessons so many times month.
The people of Washington will receive this
new reform with open arms and regard Maj.
Dye oven more warmly than they do. Tho
major intends improving the force still more.
After awhile the m embers Of the force will
be given chewing gum and skipping rope ex-
orcises, and after these accomplishments are
fully mastered their batons will be replaced
by rubber rattlcs, and the city will become
so warm an abiding place for law breakers
that they will seek other fields and pastures
new. Maj. Dyes new departure is also o
system, and will bo doubtless highly appre-
ciatad
