LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE LABOR MARKET.
~. -. I,,fffn-


Permit rue brief answer to the recent
report of Marketmsster Buell. against my
proposition to the commissioners in favor dt
o labor market, published in The REPUBLT.
CAN. My proposition was simply that the
commissioners should designate n stand near
the Centre market, with sign Labor Market,
where men desiring labor in tho city or
country could assemble, and where they
could be seen and hired, the same as Is now
done with baggage wagon and hack stands,
whore persona wanting their service can go
and hire them. And notwithstanding this
plan is adopted in many other cities with
success, yet Mr.. Buell. found numerous
reasons why IL would prove very pernicious.
However, without his approval the plan Is
already adopted through the action of the
laborcfs themselves. For several weeks many
laborers have assembled every morning in
front Of Lincoln hall, where they are seen
and hired, and Messrs. A.. s. Pratt 4 Son,
insurance agents, who have charge of thia
building are to be commended for permitting
the laborers to assemble there. But the place
Ia unsuitable, and the commissioners ought
to assign a stand, say at the baggage wagon
stand on B street, across from the Centre
market, and doubtless such place would be
assigned TO the men IL they would ask IT,
The season is right when large numbers OF
laborors are wanted in the country especially
and the commissioners ought to aid in every
possible manner 70 procure employment fol
the great surplus cQlored labor in the city
and thus prevent suffering and crime among
this poor and unfortunate class.

Annther Life anYed.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, says:
Early last winter my daughter was at.
tackled with severe cold which settled on
her lungs. We tried several medicines, mono
of which seemed TO do her any good, but she
continued to get worse, and finally raised
large amounts Of blood from her lungs. We
called in a family physician, but he failed to
do her any good. We then called. in physi-
clan most skillfil professor in one Of our
colleges-he said that she could not get we'll.
At this time friend who had been cured by
DIR. WM. HALL's BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS,
advised me to give it trial. We then got a
bottle, and before she had used IL all up she
began TO improve, and by tho use Of three
bottles was entirely cured.

temperance people as was found In the rooms

perance union Of the Washington barracks.
Long before the opening hour set down on the

THE SPRING MEETING.
Fixing OF the National Handicap Weights
How the Favorites are GauRed.


How the Favorites are Gauged.
The weights for the national handicap race
have been allotted by the Handicapped of the
Jockey club, and are given below. Joe MUIR
ray and Duke Of Montalban have been COM
plimented with the top weight, with Fair
Count and Crickmore neRt in merit The lat
ter was expected to perform wonders in the
early part of the past season, but he went all
to pieces during the frft Saratoga meeting,
and Gov Bowie, his popular owner, deemed
1t wise to turn him out" for n rest. He may
or may not be able to train on this season, but
it is to be hoped that he will come through
the trying ordeal of the grand preparation"
and be as fit as of yore. There are many old
faVorites among the thirty-six entered in this
race, conspicuous among them being Colonel
Sprague,who upset the talent In the mile-and-
a-quarter race on the second day last spring,
when he defeated Glenmore and Compensa-
tion in one of the best contested races eyer
seen anywhere, the last named pair running
a dead heat for second place. French pool
tickets on Sprague paid $3.50 each. Ella War
field, which won the Congress stakes at'the
fall meeting, beating Checkmate at the
post, is also in. So are Brunswick, La Gloria,
Laura Glass, Topsy, Farewell, Free Gold,
Blenheim, frankie B, Ballast, and many
others. The horses nominated are pretty
close together on public running, and the
race for the National should be productive of
an exciting contest. Declarations are due

THE PoLIcFMAN's FUND AND OFFICER
THOMPSON.
tn me Ed1or


WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 1.-THE recent
action of the commissioners concurring in the
report just submitted to them by the chief of
police, Maj. Dye, in which he recommends
among others the removal from the force OF
Philip Thompson, warrants me i'll making
this comment. Section 49, article 27, of the
act of Aug y, 1861, of laws governing the
metropolitan police Of the District of Column
bia, reads as follows:
All rewards, foes, proceeds OF gifts, aud emolu-
ments that may be allowed by the board OF police
10 be paid aud given for extraordinary services of
any member OF the police force, and MONEYS aris-
ing from the sale ofunelalned goods shall consi:
tute the "policeman's fund" Of which the board
OF police shall be trustee, and may invest as they
police force, In the actual discharge OF his duty
shall become bodily disabled his necessary OK
penses, on the certificate Of competent surgeon
stating the manner, cause, and condition OF IN
Jury, and approval by the board OF police, daring
The time that his disabling as aforesaid eon!ipqes
may become charge upon the said fund. But
auce for any satisfactory reason.
By n subsequent act of congress the board
of police was abolished, and all duties devolv-
ing upon the old board were transferred TO
the district commissioners The law creating
and disbursing the "policeman's fund" re-
mains in force; and l am informed this fund
aggregates something over, 81, ,000 II this
be true, / cannot see the propriety in dis
charging those policemen who have become
disabled while in the line Of duty so
long as there exists a fund created
for their especial maintenance. Ncr
oln there be produced "any satisfactory
reason" why Philip Thompson should be re-
moved This officer was disabled for life
while in the act of making an arrest by a
desperate rutiian IN the fifth precinct Oct %,
1880. He is now totally blind. and unless
the commissioners can be prevailed upon to
execute the law as laid down in the forego-
ing section, Thompson will become a charge
upon the county. According to the law his
name Is entitled to place upon the pay rolls,
and justice demands that it be placed there.

Texas Journalistic Amenities.

The amenities OF journalism are suggested
ty the following paragraph from recent is
sue of the Mesquite Mesquiter:
The squirrel headed, lantern-lawed, gander-
eyed, lop-eared upstart W no edits the kauf-
man Sun with pair of sheep shears and a
paste pot took another voyage around the
circle on his ear last week, all because the
Mesquiter compimented him for being the
most expert journalistic pirate that ever
stirred a second grade article of -four and hot
water together with a paddle. But lunatics
need not be expected to tell the difference be-
tween compliment and criticism. Now,
buy you fine comb, and use 1t, pull down
