TIE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS ASKED 10 PAY rHR
ExPESsEs INCURRED N IT'S INVESTIGATION.
A subcommittee OF the citizens committee
consisting OF Il A. Willard. B. a. Warner and n.
D. Cooke. called on the District Commissioners
to-day for the purpose OF bringing to their con-
sderaton the question Of paying from the District
funds the expenses incurred by the committee
in the Investigation OF what Is known as the "de-
tective scandal" The committee briefly stated
that this work had been undertaken by few citi-
zens for the benefit Of the entire community, ana
that to large extent it could not have been done
by the District government The expense In
CURED was comparatively small, especially
In view or the magnitude OF the undertaking and
me, she reSults obtained 1t was further ntimated
law TO pay this money out OF the fund for the sup
preston OF crime. This request drew out indi-
v1dual expressions OF opinion from the members
OF the board. as follows:
vIEws OF COMMISSIONER EpMoNpa
commissioner Edmonds said that he was not
positive whether the Commissioners had the power
70 grant this request, or whether bill for such
expenses would be audited by the First Controller
OF the Treasury. He would look into this matter
ana ascertain whether it was possible under the
law for them to pay such bills before making
positive answer. He added that he Appreciated
the work OF the committee and wished personally
10 De considered member OF the committee, and
desired to pay his share OF the expenses II they
were assessed upon the members
COMMISSIONER WEST FAvoRs PAYMENT.
commissioner west said that he heartily en-
dorsed the work Of the committee, and thought
that the commissioners should aid them as much
as 1t was in their power. He was in favor OF pay
ing theSe expenses out OF the fund appropriated
for the suppression OF crime. In his opinion there
was no question OF the justice OF such a course.
COMMISSIONER LYDECKER OPPOSED TO PAYMENT.
Commissioner Lydecker said that he was op-
posed on principle to the payment of these ex-
penses, and thought that it would be establishing
dangerous precedent II he believed that the
committee had the power and the money, he would
be opposed to paying these bills, for the reason
that they were bills for services after they had
been performed, without authority Of the District
Commissioners
THE COMMITTEE
replied that they did not expect the Commission.
ers to do anything but what they had the power
to do. They, however, expected their earnest and
hearty cooperation In this work OF exposing Of
nclal rottenness: and in deciding about paying a
portion or the expenses incurred by the commit
zee. they expected them to place the most liberal
construction on their power In the premises
The committee then withdrew. Ali three of the
commissioners said that they would favor a bin
asking Congress to make an appropriation to meet
the expenses OF the committed.

homicide which at irregular interval
sweep over the country. They are ~
inevitable as the cyclone and as per

In fact, for tine last few weeks murder
in all its shocking depravities has been
the principal ingredient of journalistic
literature. OF course there is q reason
for this terrible state of affairs. There
Is always cause for every effect. But
what the cause or reason is, is not of
such easy discovery. Perhaps the
moon or the stars or some other solar
influence impels it. The evil passions
of men, which are not always kept in
check, may account for il. But wheth-
er the impeling agency Is natural or SUI
pernstursl, the fact remains; We hsye
murder on every side of Us. Brutality,
lust Or lsziness. revenge, passions that
are naturally destructive aud evil, and
the frenzy produced by intemperanee
are each and all of them sufficient TO
account for the homicide ma
mia; and perhaps they are all
more or less responsible for
the fatai harvest. Still the social
conditions which tolerate these cpl
denies of murder ought to be improved.
The leaven of unrighteOusness should
be leavened by law. The fault is in the
courts and the juries which aequit the
criminals and turn loose men whose
hands are red with blood, to prey upon
society. 1t is the favorite solution Of
the mystery of murder in Yankee Land
to lay il to the vagabonds who tramp
through the country. Idleness is the
prolific germ of all that is vile aud re-
voting. But chsraeterless sdventur-

cratic Legion Of California has eN-
pressed itself with much fOrmality
in favor Of the nomination Of eX-Sena-
tor ALLEN e. THURMAN, Of Ohio, for

Boss A,Alu>on Not u Candidate.


Boss Atkinson has been interviewed by
the editor of the Wheeling Evening jour
nal, and declares that he is not candidate
for the office Of Governor or any other
office. The Boss seems to prefer the profits
and emolumeats OF the office of Marshal of
the District to the prospect of certain de-
feat in race for GubsrnatorIal honors.
We don't blame him. lie says that the
boss" cry is disgustingly thin, and seems
to think that the Republican party needs
them to assist in its organization. Oh, yes,
Republican bosses are sll right, but when
il comes to Democratic or Bourbon bosses
then it is a horrible idea; but then it
makes all the difference in the world as to
whose bull is gored.

Mr. ARTaUR,s NOMINATION.

Mr.. ARTHUR will be his own success
sor in the Presidential chair, unless the
Democrats elect their candidate. This
much Is pretty clear to a careful obserV-
er of the drift of sentiment in the Re-
publican party. No man who has oc-
cupied the Chief Executive office in late
years has grown so rapidly in the es-
teem of his party friends. When Mr..
ARTHUR came to the White House and
assumed the duties of the station, he
was positively disliked by = large Sec
ton of his party, and was scantiiy liked
by the remaining members. But oy
his polite course he has changed all
this. There have been no pyrotechuics
in his official career. He has enuneia-
ted no startling propositions OF govern
mental policy. He has not sought 70
dszzle by q daring or brilliant course.
He has not, like Mr.. BLAINE, hopped
UP on the top rail of the fence and, Hap
ping his wings, erowed out a shriil
ccek.a-doodle to attract the attention OF
the crowd. He has allowed his
party and its local leaders TO
feel that he is but an
humble and obedient soldier in the
ranks: that he is but the servant and
not the master. But he is the master
in spite of this modest seeming. With
a master hand he has turned enmity
into friendship; has moulded his party
until to-day it is plastic to ms will. He
has retired to the shades his most Off
eious friends and placed a restraining
hand upon those who would sound his
praise. He has automatically seemed
to be negation in his party's counsels
that the storm bred by GUTTEAU's bull
let might spend its fury. In no State
in the Union was Mr.. Arthur more
unpopular in 1881 than among the Re-
publicans in West Virginia; in 1855
Mr.. ARTHUR holds the Republican par
ty of West Virginia in the hollow OF
his hand. Its delegation to the Chicago
Convention on the Sd of next June is
already assured to him. 1t will be so
unanimously and without a struggle OF
opposition. The same is true of most
of the Eastern and Southern States;
and many Of the States of the West
will wheel into line. The question for
the Democrats to consider is, With
whom can we beat President ARTHUR?

ONE of the largest sheep ranches in
America is on Santa Rosa Island, Cali
iornia. On this island Of 1900 acre-
fully 5000 sheep are kept. Last June
the WOO! clip from these sheep was

a pound, bringing the owner - -

Even this was Il low yield. -Four men
keep the ranch in order during the
year, but in shearing time an additional
force is of course necessary. \ shearer
is paid five cents clip, and $50 day
is frequently made 10y a good hand.

ing, but two hundred trained goats run
with them. answering all the purposes

MATRIMONIAL CRANKS.

The St Louis "crank" who sent his
card TO General SHERMAN, recently,
and proposed to marry one of his daugh-
tiers, is still at large. According to
dispatch from Cleveland, he is at pres
ent in that city, insisting upon uniting
his fortunes with those OF Miss MOLLIE
GARFIELD. We shall probably hear of
him in New York next, knocking at
the doors of the Fifth avenue mansions
ana making son.in-isw overtures to
some of the milliouaires. GUITEAU, it
will be remembered, had some halluci-
nation of this kind. He entreated Mr..
BLAINE to give him the Austrian mis-
sion, assuring him that there was a
wealthy lady in New York who would
Immediately marry him and spend
large fortune in dazzling the court of
FRANCIS JOSEPH. This, after all, is
common form of insanity. There are
thousands and thousands of men, young
and old, who are roaming up and down
the country seeking rich or distinguished
wives-generally rich. Some of them
come from Europe, with titles to their
names.
