Generals Beauregar,i and Early.

A card signed by the above is going the
rounds of the press. Ono statement in it
strikes the reader as very peculiar, namely :
that in managing single number drawing,
if the Commissioners of such lottery allows
the ticket-holder the privilege of calling out
the number on his ticket and have the tag or
ballot with u corresponding number on it
shown him in the presence of the audience
and thon placed in tho wheel, such lottery
company resOrting to such practice proves
itself to be fraud" This statement is un-
true and unworthy of such gentlemen. Will
these Generals please say how single number
lottery companies swindle; is it not by sim
ply having all tags or ballots with numbers
on them corresponding to the numbers of the
tickets they have sold, not placed in the
wheel Mt all, thus if a man buys ticket with
number So on it, the tag or ballot with SO on
ii is kept out of the wheel, so, of course, the
ticket holder is bound to draw n blank, be-
cause his number is not represented in the
wheel at all, but suppose the holder of the
ticket asks to sec the tag with So on it placed
in the wheel aad he sees it done, he knows
then his ticket HAS a chance to draw n prize.
This certainly is the only fair test of an hon
est drawing. Should the ticket holder not be
there in person, he could write to some one,
asking them to call out his number and see it
| 60 in the wheel. These Generals were brave
soldiers, and no doubt are honest in THEIR
| lottery work. but they certainly are not
| posted as what constitutes an honest lottery
drawing and their statement shows their ig-
norance.-Adut.

THE GARBAGE CONTRACT.

Judge Lawrence Directs That No More
Payments be Made TO the Old Con-
tractor.
Judge Lawrence, first comptroller Of the
Treasury department, yesterday afternoon di-
rected the clerk in charge Of disbursements
for the District of Columbia, not to make any
more payments to the old garbage contractor.
Referring to the matter last night, he said /:
My action in the case was due to the fact
that no contract for the present year
has been filed in my otice, as the
law requires. The fact that another
party has offered to furnish better service at
$4,000 per annum less than is now paid does
not come within the province of my office,
and, of course, if the commissioners file any
contract for the garbage service with me the
full amount will be paid as it comes due, un-
less the contractor violates any of its specif-
cations, in which event deductions will be
made. The contract with the present con-
tractors was made unlawfully for five years.
1t should only have been made for one year.
This decided some time ago. and it is posi-
BILE that my decision and the mandamus now
pending against the commissioners are the
cause of the present embarrassment"

A few months ago August Giesecke, n saloon
keeper, removed his business from the corner
OF Seventh and o streets northwest to No.
1909 street northwest, where ho also took
mp his abode with his wifo, who is about to be
confined, and two children. Last Sunday he
persuaded his wifo to pay visit to her
brother, Mr.. Henry Seebode q well known
business man on Seventh street, and while
she was gone he filled two trunks with all
the household goods he could lay his
hands on and decamped for parts unknown.
When Mrs. Giosecko returned, at about
eight o'clock in tho evening sho was
mystifed by finding the house closed up and
the key in the possession of n noighbor, to
whom it had been turned over by the faithless
husband. On entering she found the follow
ing notice written upon tho kneading board:
Lima; | leave you $50. l can live with you
no longer My heart is torn" In another
place the parting words were written; Fare
well, all of you"
Among the articles carried off were a small
keg of whisky. several bottles of wine, lot
of cheese, sausages, ham, and all other eata-
bles that would stand transportation; also
bedclothes, towels, tablecloths, and other
household goods. Hc also had $500 in his

THE MEDICAL WAR.

There was very large minority vote
cast at the meeting of the New York
Academy of Medicine last week on the
adoption of the rule forbidding regu-
lar TO give advice where non-regular
is the attending physician. This minority
embraced some of the most eminent medi-
cal scholars of the Union. They hold
and unquestionahly they are right-that il
is no recognition of another school Of med
icine for regular to give advice to the
patient of physician of the other school.
On the contrary it is duty to do so. As
the New York Post we'll says: "Physi-
clans, as well as all other scientifcmen in our
time, must come to regard themselves not
as bands of tradesmen, interested in keep
ing up the prices of their goods and dis
couraging competition. but as reservoirs Of
the best knowledge of the day, from which
everybody is at liberty to draw" Suppose
it be admitted that all schools but the reg
ulsr are impositions, outright humbugs,
why should that fact prevent a regular
from advising patient as TO the true ma
ture of his disease because ne has in en-
ployment one Of the ostracized school
There is no other profession in which the
rule prevails that the New York society
sets up. The State Medical Society OF
New York permits linked consultations, +"
the New York Academy prohibits them,
and thus in the Empire State doctors dis
agree. As surely as the world moves the
State Society's code will triumph, for it is
in the line of advance and federation, and
the spirit Of the age.

TIE coMM1ssloN.

The first step of the Civil Service Com
mission was to adopt the rules to govern
applications and examinations. These have
been submitted to the President. It is
objected that they are too technical, too
severe in some respects, and merely book
ism in others. So far as can be learned
now there is no sufficient reason for these
objections. The severity of the code Of
rules is probably more fancied than real.
They would naturally appear severe and
technical to the American politician and
office-seeker who has not yet taken the
initiatory degree in civil service reform.
We are grati6ed to know that they are
severe, and trust they call for reasonably
full knowledge of the duties sought to be
discharged, and for evidence of applicants
having at least good practical education.
The second step taken by the Commission
is the appointment of Mr.. Keim as Chief
Examiner. It would have been better had
3 man less prominent in the political world
been chosen. Keim is political zsalot of
the Cameron echool, and has been asso-
ciated with bossism too intimately. But
It is possible that the Commissioners need
just such bold and cool man to deal with
the men who are seeking to negative their
work. The very qualities that made him
a good political manager may be the very
best for an Examiner, now that be
is enlisted On the side Of civil
service reform. Besides this ths
