OUR DISTRICT COMMTS-
SIONERS.

For the past few weeks our contemporary
the National Republican, has endeavored to
convince the people of this country that Dis
,rict Commissioner Edmonds Is one of
Squier's partners, and make him responsible
to the creditors. The Republican is very anx-
ious for Judge Edmonds to resign. There Es
no doubt but.that the Republican has been
disappointed in some: scheme, and to get re-
venge, it seeks to vilify a set of men. Judge
Edmonds has made good Commissioner, he
has endeavored to satisfy the people, and i'm
prove our city. The Republican should re-
member its articles when Judge EdmOnds
was appointed by President Arthur, and see
ifthere is not a little inconsistency. The Re-
publicans of this city and especially the CEN
trail Republican committee got on the outs
with Genl. West. because that gentleman did
not carry ont some of their vindictive meas
ures- Men who have heretofore supported
General West deserted him, and declared that
he was no better than Judge Edmonds. So
far as the District of Columbia is concerned,
the District Commissioners have done all in
their power to improve the city, and satisfy
the people. If the Republican will only turn
its attention to other matters we can assure
our contemporary that 1t will be benefited
Some of our friends are satisfied with our pres
ent form of government. If our District gov
ernment is to be changed. 1t is hoped that suf-
frage will be restricted. Under the old form
of ofgovexnment, the people were taxed outrage

HIGH GARNTV AT.

We were informed last week
that trustee Brooks and superin-
tendent Cook held, after the meet.
ing of the school board, high
carnival of congratulations and
reioicingS over the displacement
of Miss Patterson. We are not
surprised at Mr.. Brooks for he is ca
pable OF anything low and mean;
but of Mr.. Cook, our feelings is one
of sorrow and regret, and we can
onl V account for the fall from the
high pedestal which we have always
placed him asa chlvalric gentleman
who would scorn to be a party to a
contemplate thing, tohis association
with Mr.. Brooks, whose vicious in
fuence has not only permeated
the school system, but the hereto

Capt. Gray, from all reports,
had been on the outlook for Capt.
Kelley ever since the publication
of the article. Wednesday morn
ing Capt. Gray was standing on the
corner of 18th and Q street,

that Capt. Kelley was on his way
! to the office. Capt. Gray immedi-
ately made for him; when he got
to him he pulled out of his pocket
copy Of the BEE and asked Capt.
Kelley if he was the author of the
article. Kelley denied it, and at
the moment he denied 1t, Capt.
Gray drew from under his coat d
cowhide and struck Kelley several
blows across the face. Kel-
ley nude for pile of bricks, but
was overtaken by Gray and knock
ed down and struck in the back
of the neck and head. 1t is report
ed that Gray then started to run,
but was followed by a little girl,

a policeman that Gray had beat
her uncle. Gray was asked by the
officer if such was true. lie said
yes. He informed the officer not to
put his hands on him as he would
walk to the statlon-house with him.
Capt. Kelley states that Gray walk
ed..up behind and struck him un-
aware. Capt. Gray bitterly de-
nies the statement. Capt. Kelley
was seriously injured. He was
picked up in an iusensibIe condi-
tlOn and carried to Lewis drug
store, corner 18th and 2 streets.
Capt. Gray called at the office
of the BEE Thursday morning and
stated that he never walked up
behind Kelley unaware, but
tronted him and asked whether he
was the author of the article that
in the BEE, which Kel-
ley denied. Gray called him a liar
