What the Drugglsts Say.


The arrest of several druggists yesterday
is only what was promised by the Registered
Drug Clerks association, which is similar to
a trade union, and while boncfting its mem
bors also brings greater security to the public
in insuring the employment by druggists of
none but efficient assistants.
Some Of those who were arrested were in
terviewed last night, and while there was q
disposition to fight The matter on the ground
that they had right to employ whom they
pleased, they themselves to be tho Judge of
their competency, it is not thought that
there will be much opposition save by one or
two.
Several druggists who have not been dis
turbed, nor will they be, rs they employ only
registered drug clerks, were also seen who
commended the arrests, and believed that
all offenders against the law should be
promptly proceeded against.
why" said one, 81 know man who
runs threo or four drug stores in various
parts of the district, and who is abundantly
able to employ flrst-class assistants, and yet
he will take young and inexperienced men
because he can get them for from $25 to $50
a month; whereas he would have to pay a
regular pharmacist $50, $50 or $780,"

The kindergarten question is being widely
agitatcd in Washington, and seems to be
widely gaining ground. 1t is interesting to
trace this movement. So late as 1877, Mrs.
Louise Pollock, of the Washington Kinder
garten union, began the work of interesting
the different pastors of the city in the work
of opening their lecture or Sunday school
rooms for the poor children in their neighbor-
hoods. Then there We're no kindergartens OF
this class Now st. Johns parish has one for
colored children the Lincoln mission, corner
Eleventh and Il streets, has another, sup
ported by the Miner school fund, and third
at the colored orphan asylum. The Bethany
free kindergarten, corner Ohio avenue and
Thirteenth street, is now united with the
Garfield kindergarten ON street, between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets. The
trustees of tho Foster home will soon intro
duce the kindergarten there. Mrs. LouisC
p ollocll has petitioned the school board to re-
serve one room in each of the proposed new
school houses for kindergarten. Mrs. Pollock
and the Washington kindergarten union vii
earnestly cooperate in any movement to es
tablish free kindergartens.

Taxing Ministers.
New York Tribunal

A Brooklyn clergyman Of nearly forty
years experience, remarked privately the
other day upon what he called an imposition
upon the time and patience of ministers
practiced by persons who belong to no
church. This is in the unreasonable demands
upon their time for funera, services. Per-
sons who have never connected themselves
with any church, and also it is more than
likely, have made it a practice to sneer at
churches and clergynen alike, still feel the
need of clerical services when death makes
its way into the family circle. They seek out
clergyman to whom they are not known at
all perhaps through an introduction from a
friend, and make a heavy draft upon his
time. He must not only conduct the main
portion Of the service, but he must go to the
grave. There, after having expended half a
day, he is dismissed with, possibly, "thank
you" and those to whom he has devoted his
time probably return to their old course Of
Indifference, if not Of actual opposition, to
all religious effort.
Service at funerals stands on such differ
ent basis from that at marriages that clergy
men are expected to be always at command,
and they perform this exacting labor with
great unselfshneSs, and for its own sake, as
1t is entirely without reward. Yet there has
50 often seemed to be an element of social
imposition in the demands made upon them
that some clergymen have considered the ad-
visibility of causing it to be understood that
In cases not arising III their own cmgrega-
tions, or where there was no natural claim

could afford it to compensate them for their

The Charlotte IN. c. Journal-Observer
prints the following card from the widow of
Gen. ''Stonewalr" jackson:
To the Editor of The Journal Observer:
Upon my return from my recent visit to
the north find some comments which are
not entirely just from the southern press
and in justice to myself and my daughter I
must correct some statements which have
been made. After joining Gov. and Mrs
Jarvis, who were going to take the same
trip we were land where could we find a
more pleasant and suitable party to travel
with than the governor of my native state
and his excellent wifeD an invitation was
extended to us to become the guests of the
state of Massachusetts, l was advised by
southern friends to accept it, and it was
urged that we would not be the guests of
Gov Butler, but Of the state, which rep
resented many good and noble people.
While n Boston we were enter
tanned at a hotel, and did not cross the
threshold of Gen. Butler. Justice, however,
compels me to say that ne was wanting in
no courtesy to the guests Of his state The
people of Boston, and at every point we Wis
tied in the north, certainly gave evidence
that my husbands name was held in such
honor and reverence that my heart could not
but be touched with tender and grateful
emotion. was told they admired him for
''his moral grandeur" ''his exalted piety;"
that he was the ''bravest man the war pro-
duced on either side," that they were proud
of him as an American citizen" etc Surely
there must be enough of chivalry and right
on the part of all true southerners to cast no
blame upon me for having been the means of
evoking such sentiments as these, and while
every instinct Of my nature is loyalty and
devotion to the south, 1 can testify that there
are many excellent Christians at the north
who are anxious to blot out all the sectional
differences and extend to Us the love and
kindness which makes nation chat happy
people whose God is the Lordn
