Let Instice he none.

Mr.. Henry Raft, who has long been as
sistant inspector of licenses, is, we under
stand, candidate for inspector.
If the Commissioners will consult the
wishes of the merchants and taxpayers of
the District of Columbia they will not hesi-
tate to give the position to Mr.. Raft.
That he deserves the promotion there
can be no question. That he has done more
for the interests Of the city and its people
than any officer before him is beyond a
doubt.
The position Of inspector has been held
by manwho has never done anything ex-
cept to draw his pay, aud whose name is
probably not known by dozen people in
this city, and why Mr.. Raft was not pro-
moted long ago is one of tho mysteries of
the day
We trust the new Commissioners will see
the injustice done Mr.. r., and at once give
him the position his merits demand.

The navy.yard workmen feel kindly to-
ward Civil Engineer Menocal for his actien
several days ago in connection with the en-
forcement of the Eight-Hour law. 1t is
stated on good authority that when the
order making the schedule eight instead of
ten hours was received at the navy-yard,
Menocal frisked about and wanted to know
whether that did not mean pro rata de-
crease in the pay of the hardworking me-
chanics. In fact, he was indefatigable in
his zeal, being probably influenced
by hatred of the laboring men,
and consulted number of officers on
the subject of forming delegation to wait
upon Secretary Chandler for the purpose Of
Suggesting" that the pay be cut down.
He failed in securing delegation for the
mean purpose indicated, and undertook the
task by himself, with results which were
not at all pleasant to his cramped con-
science, as it is reported that the Secretary
set down upon him like load Of bricks,
and severely rebuked him for his freshness.
The boys have got it in for Menocal now,
and whenever he appears on the street they
sing out in loud tones: "There goes old

THE CRITIC ABROAD,

1t has been said that the desk used by
Daniel Webster when he was Senator was
unknown to any ono save Captain Bassett,
who was brought by Webster to Washing
ton and appointed q page in the Senate fifty
years ago. This is mistake, however.
There is another man who knows the desk,
and knows where it sat during the last
session Of Congress. 1t was on the Demo-
cratic side of the Senate Chamber, and was
occupied by one Of the South Carolina
Senators. Whether it was Senator Hamp-
ton or Senator Butler the Critic saith not,
A Democratic statesman all the way from
Missouri was cornered to-day at one of
the downtown hotels by the Critic, when
the subject of the organization of the next
House of Representatives was broached, the
conversation turning more particularly on
the Speakership. In answer to the query
as TO who in his opinion would be the lucky
man the Missouri statesman said:
"The country is to be congratulated on
the abundant supply of talent it has avail
able for that high office, and the Demo-
cratic party can proudly claim that if it
had six Speakerships to fill it could fill
them all. Unfortunately, however, there
is but one Speakership, and in the race in
which many contend one only can gain q
prize. While the friends of each candidate
are prepared to show that he is to
be the fortunate winner the total of tho
estimate proves that the friends of all but
one are mistaken. There are Springer aud
Morrison, of Illinois, and Cox, of New York.
Springer is confident while Morrison says
nothing. Cox is tired of being looked on
as the funny man of the House. Joe Black
burn, of Kentucky, practices with the gavel
before the mirror in his old Kentucky y
home. Carlisle, also of Kentucky, is con-
ceded to be an able parliamentarian and a
brilliant presiding officer; but all Of these
are more or less emphatic ree-traders, and
while they are pulling against each other,
Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, has the un-
divided strength of those Democrats who
are unwilling to make rash experiments
with the tariff"
"Who, in your opinion, will your delega-
tion vote for in caucus? ?'
"In my opinion it will be solid for Car
lisle."
"Do you think Carlisle will be the lucky
man?'
Guessing at the next Speaker is safe
and easy amusement, as o great many cir.
cumstances may arise before the meeting oil
Congress TO upset all the calculations upor
which the shrewdest guess is based but a:
the question now stands, Mr.. Randall
looms up as the strongest candidate

BLAoKMAILERs are one of the annoy
ances of the rich and the famous. The
latest attempt at this kind of thievery
was practiced on Mary Anderson by DR..
G. II. Marshall, of Pittsburgh. He wrote
two letters to Miss Anderson's stepfather,
Dr. Griffin, in which he stated that he had
letters of Miss Anderson's written to GER
tain persons, which If published would
create sensation, and Offering to sell them
for $4,000. The postal authorities are now
working up the case.
Blsckmailers are the meanest of all
thieves. Subscription thieves, like those

COLONEL TON. MURPHY, of New York,
left last night f5f Long Branch, where he
will pass the summer. Last winter a sem
sational story was circulated to tho effect
that he took two ladies to the White House
and asked President Arthur's permission to
introduce them to Mrs. McElroy, his
sister, and that the President inquired
who they were, and then declined to
give his consent.
The present appears to us an opportune
time to state that this slanderOus story is
as false as tits malicious, aud is unjust alike
to President Arthur himself, for no one
would fetch ladies to the White House to
be introduced to the Presidents sister with
out the Presidents consent had been pre-
viously obtained, and to Colonel Murphy.
1t is perhaps unnecessary to add that moth
ing happened last winter, or at any other
time, to give the faintest color of truth to
this story.

About two weeks ago the Hon. Lionel
visited by Zell Hoover, well-known char
acter in the police circles of this city, and
informed that his residence here was about
to be blown to atoms.

"Why," said Hoover, "there are in this
city quite large and respectable number

ut will cost money to do it," said
Hoover
How much?"
Five hundred dollars. / will have to
employ some help"
This seemed to satisfy Mr.. West, and he
paid the money then and there. Hoover
to assist him in finding the dy-
namiters, who were preparing to
blow the representative of Great Britain
out Of existence. The employment of the
ex-detectives, of course, was mere blind
upon the part of Hoover, who had put the
game up simply to rob Mr.. West. The two
ex-detectives, armed with letter from
Major Morgan, called on Mr.. West and
learned that he had paid to Hoover quite a
sum of money for his services in prevent
ing his residence and his family from being
blown to kingdom come by the dynaniters
The ex-detectives told Mr.. West that in
their opinion, he had been gulled
that there was no truth in the
Story at all, and that Hoover had been
playing similar swindling tricks on people
in this city for years. The Minister in.
quired what he could do with Hoover, and
found that he could probably have him ar
rested and taken before Judge Smell, but il
would be very hard to convict him of any
offense, whereupon the Hon. Lione
Sackville West concluded to let the matter
drop and his money CO. Perhaps this new
experience in the devious ways of thu
blarsted American crook may repay him

A sir foot m,n In crowd that averages
6re feet seven inches can't help being 4 w.
Tie distinguished, even though his face
Clothes and. bearing are all commonplace.
Nevertheless, William n. Vanderbilt was
not lntrlnsoally worth looking AT the mul.
tilude that gathered TO see the troiting race
between Jay.Eye.sce aud 81, Julien. Not
dollar Of his many millions was vlslbe'
nor was there any evidence In sight that
his money had bought for him any remark
able qualities OF mind, AS he made his
way down the club house steps, which were
wide and long enough to hold thousand
men, he was not required to do much el.
bowling for space. There was quick with.
drawal from him as he descended, and the
first i'm preston get from the stir was that
somebody was carrying paint bucket,
from the smearng of which the throDg was
saving its clothes. Nor was the expression
on the faces generally Incompatible with
that idea, though the movement was caused
by desire to stare at the man OF riches,
ID may have been all fancy, but IL seemed
to me that the sentiment which his pres
ence aroused was a reversal OF that which |
he is believed to hold toward the public !
Vanderbilt be ID" was what l read
though, perhaps, mistakenly, In most of
the cCuntenances around him. There can
be no doubt, at all events, that he interprets
in that way the staring which is bestowed |
on him wherever he goes. His demeanor
Is the defiant front which he presents 70
envy and mild luminosity which million
aire inevitably excites. 1t is unlucky that
Vanderbilt will ever do much in the way of
philanthropy to counterfeit this tendency.
Nobody would be encouraged to ask IL of
him, unless he softens the hardness of the
face and manner with which he received at
tention on this occasion. He has many
acquaintances, but few speaking ones, tor
he has hablt, whether through intent or
Observation-Disclosures l am unable to tell, OF
failing to return bows Of recognition. Cool
ly repellent was certainly what he seemed
to be toward the man who, on seeing him
go down the steps, ran after ap9 ..poke to
him. The relation of master and dog was
about what his treatment of the accoster in
dictated; and yet this person C )mes as near
as anybody to be hail fellow with him.
Foster Dewey used to be Bill Tweed's pri-
vate secretary. After the downfall of the
ring he speculated in Wall street and drove
fast trotters on the road. In the latter &C.
cupation he at length fell in with Wander
bit, and in the former he fell out. The
millionaire, in making turn in railroad
stocks, left Dewey on the wrong side of the
calculation, and the sufferer Quarreled
boldly and publicly about the unfriendly
oversight. The injury was subsequently
made good, it is said, and the two men row
ride together and take companionable
