A REAL ENGLISH DUDE
who Makes tho American Dude
Green with Envy.

Washington has real English dude. He is
not q shallow imitation, but the genuine ar
tlcle, and has created n furore wherever he
has gone. Yesterday saw him sailing down
Pennsylvania avenue, arrayed in loud
checkered, tight.ntting coat, black trousers
and n hat with brlm wide enough for
Quaker. The most remarkable part Of his
costume was his shirt collar. 1t was black,
and Mt It's base nestled tiny white cravat.
AS might bo imagined, tho appearance OF this
being created q thrill Of amazement ana the
minor cheap imitation dudes OF American
birth were green with envy. The subject OF
my sketch Interested mo somewhat, so
i maao II my business to make
somo inquiries, and have since ascer-
tained that he Is tho person who advertlses In
the local papers here, "Euglish taught as
spoken in London" A few silly boys and as
many silly girls are doing their best to acquire
the Cockney accent. Foreign gentlemen seem
to be the rage In Washington. Only short
time since the daughter OF ono OF the most dis
tinguiehed Democratic Senators said TO
friend OF mine: "Mr. Blank. do 30 admire
much nicer than those OF this-country, their
manners are so fascinating" My friend
gravely responded TO this bit OF insufferablo
Inelpidity, ~ beg pardon TO differ with you,
but In my judgment gentleman is always a
gentleman; his birthplace Is q matter OF no
consequence" This girl and her mother have
done more to drive the Senator Into private
life than any hundred OF his enemies, for
cold and heartless Legislature has elected
another to take his place at the expiration of
his term. -"TOlOie' In Boston Traveller.

DOUBTLESS the robuke administered to
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, in the House
yesterday by Mr.. Money, Of Mississippi,
and Mr.. Aiken, of South Carolina, will
serve as lesson to somo of the able mon of
the country who peisistently ride hobbies.
Mr.. Holman Is one of the best-equipped
statesmen at the Capitol. He knows every
detail of legislation, and what is needed in
the different branches of the Government.
II is seldom that two men of his ability
live in one age. Yet, with all this knowl-
edge Of public affairs, he is one of tho least
efficient men in the House inolIl-
cient by the idea that his mission is solely
that of an objector.
On the theory that it is better that
ninety mine guilty men escape than that
one innocent one should be punished Mr..
Holman does more harm in one week than
he does good in five years. If he saves at
the spigot he wastes at the bung. His ideas
Of economy only servo to cripple public in
stitutiOns.

p. II. WOODWARD, an alleged Postoflice
Inspector, in written statement made
yesterday before the Springer Committee
under the sanctity of an oath, among other
things said
Mr.. Cook insisted that immunity should be
granted stephen W. Dorsey on account OF his
great services to- the Republican party. In
answer modestly suggested that penal laws
and penitentiaries were not devised for the
exclusive benefit OF Democrats.
1t is perfectly safe to predict that there
is not a word of truth in the two state
ments. That is to say, Mr.. Cook made no
such suggestion to President Garfield, nor
did Woodward make the suggestion he says
he did. The idea was an afterthought
based upon the belief that possibly such
statement made. to the committee might
catch the ear of the Democratic members of
the committee. In this he mistook the
personnel of the committee. There may be
one Democratic member of the committee
who is fool enough to believe part of his
story. The chairman may have little
faith in what P. II. W. says, but he is the
only Democratic member who has.

pIars Replies 10 the Protective


pIars Replies 10 the Protective
League.
The Star Of Hope Lodge, Good Templars,
has adopted the following resolutions tn re-
ply to those OF tho National Protective League:
Resoired, That whllo we, rs good Templars,
have long realized the fact that, together with
kindred organizations and tho church, our
labor for the promotion OF temperance, moral
ity md religion have met with abundant sue.
ccsRea, we have not fully appreciated our
power and tho good already accomplished un-
IN we now ind that the distillers, brewers,
and ealoon.keepers, with their various organi.
cations, acknowledge their inability to stay
the onward march OF the virtues, surrounded
by which tho nefarlous trafllc and the perni.
ciouB customs OF those II fosters must die.
Res0lred, That we recognize the Protective
League Just organized in our city as n confos-
eion on the part OF our opponents OF their grow
Ing weakness, and Its declaration to protect
the community against temperance, morality
and religion as challenging the great mass OF
our people who derive no pecuniary benefit
from the trafIlc in intoxicating liquors, or who
do not deem II proper to sacrifice principle,
either for gain or for the perpetuatlon OF In
ported customs
ReSOiyed, That this lodge accepts this chal-
lenge; pledges iteelf anew TO tho work OF OK
tending temperance, morality and rellgloni
and that In this self-lmposed work for God and
humanity we invite the cooperation OF every
lady and gentleman in this District.

WHATEVER may be urged against the
District Commissioners and the police force
as to their shortcomings, there has been
nothing said in the local press but in praise
of our efficient and well-disciplined Fire
Department. And if anything were needed
to add to such testimony as to the efficiency
Of the Department, it would be given in
the enthusiastic encomiums of the direct
ors of the Columbia Fire Insurance Com
pany at test alarm fow nights since in
their presence. Capital is always suspicious
and inclined to depreciation of the services
Of its agents. 1t is as close and selfish as
the'grave. Then, the enthusiastic outbursts
Of approval at the rapid movements of the
department at the alarm aforesaid must be
taken as sincere, for on the efficiency of
the Fire Department depends in great
measure the stability and dividends of the
fire insurance companies. A wretched and
inefficient fire department would soon
cause their destruction, root and branch.
Yet for all this, and in spite of the fact
that millions in Government buildings are
protected by this department, the House
Committee has refused to recommend bill
pensioning firemen, disabled in the line of
duty. Let us suppose half dozen hremen
had been crippled at the great Patent Office
fire-would the legislative solons have
considered them worthy of pension? If
not, why not?
We would like To know just whose fault
ii was that the above bill was reported on
adversely.

The Republican Platform.

The platform adopted by the Re-
publican Convention at Chicago yes.
terday is we'll considered, Compre.
hensive statement Of the position of
the Republican party on the live issues
now before the country. Of the past
it has little to say. The record is
made and the people can judge it for
themselves. What policy the party
will pursue in the future and what its
endorsement by the people would
mean are practical living issues, and
to these the Convention very wisely
addressed and confined itself.
First and foremost is the great rul'
ing question or which, before all 9th.
ers, issue will be joined between the
parties, and for decision of which
they put themselves upon the country.
On the ground that the largest diver
sity Of industry is most productive of
general prosperity aud of the comfort
and independence Of the people, the
Republicans demand that "the impo.
sition of duties on foreign imports
shall be made, not for revenue only
but that, in raising the requisite reve-
nuea for the Government, such duties
shall be so levied as to afford security
to our diversified industries and pro.
lection to the rights and wages of the
laborer." No incidental Protection
or other uncertain sound about this,
but Protection pure and simple TO the
end that "active and intelligent labor,
as we'll as capital, may have its just
reward, and the laboring man his foil
share in the national prosperity"
The process Of horizontal reduction
is condemned as vicious and indiscrim.

pledged to correct the inequalities Of
the tariff and reduce the surplus by
"such methods as will relieve the tax
payers without injury to the great
productive interests of the country

platform on the whole is strong anC
