The Evening critic., 1884-12-11

IN EXACT proportion as Mr.. Blaine, the
unsuccessful candidate, is rcceding from the
gaze Of politicians, Mr.. Blaine, the brilliant
historian, is engaging tho attention Of the
literary world. Tho man who wrote dash :
ing editorials thirty years ago is now recog-
nized as n peerless chronicler Of tho po-
litical allwarfare ofthe last two decades. 1t is o
strange fact that at one and the same time
Grant should be attracting notice as q
writer Of military "reminiscences, and Blaine
40 narrator Of the force intellectual COM
bats waged on the floor OF the House OF
Representatives. Grant, when treating OF
batteries and bombardments; Blaine, when
treating Of debates and parliamentary strug.
giles, speak by tho card.
In America IL is exceptionable to find In
one person the man of letters and tho man
Of affairs, while in England tho two are
often combined. Beaconsfeld's novels arc
highly esteemed Macaulay's official duties
did not prevent him from winning q FORE
most place in tho ranks of English authors,
and Gladstone, to say nothing Of his con-
tributions to the reviews, has found time
to edit classics, and to encounter Cardinal
Newman in theological controversy. Ben
ton and Blaine stand as exceptions among
thelegislators of this country, whilo in Eng
land the author and the statesman appear
to have strong affinity. 1t Is TO bs hoped
that in this respect we will follow our
British friends. History becomes tonfold
moro interesting when written by men
thoroughly conversant with the spirit and
letter Of the subject they havo in hand. II
he who rules DER froemcn should himself
be free, it is desirable that he who writes Of
politics should himself be politician.

the question Of steam railroad routes will
bo discussed. The residents of Northeast
Washington are determined in their oppo-
sition to tho tracks Of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad cutting up that portion Of
the city as they do. They arc ready and
anxious to cooperate with the residents of
South Washington, who suffer from the
proximity of the Baltimore s. Potomac
Railroad tracks.
Tho residents of tho Northeast section as
well as those Of tho Southern section have
approved Of tho Morrill, bill. With the
slight alterations recently mado in that
bill, IL is about as perfect solution Of the
problem as can be suggested. Let there be
no division Of opinion. Let all unite on
the Morrill, bill. Congress will never give
relief until the people are united in their
demands.

10 he Editor OF TIE Erening Critic.
would like 10 ask II there are not some
other things beside "the necessary precautions
TO prevent the Introduction, &C., OF contagious
diseases" which should be brought TO the at
tention OF the Board OF Health OF this city.
For instance, about two months ago sewer
was put in on II street northeast, between
sidewalk, with 1--WE or six perforated covers 10
as many manholes, and the stencil that arises
from them is not only calculated to spread any
contagious disease, after Its Introduction, but
also 10 breed disease. BY calling the attention
OF the Board OF Health TO this nuisance you
viii confer favor on the residents OF East
Washington. EAST ENDER.

The Commissioners justify their position
in regard to the employment of prisoners
on the streets. The convicts will not bc set
to work in localities where crowds gather
and there are many passers.by. They will
not bo exhibited to the public in their
striped suits.
The work that they will do will bo in un.
frequented spots In unbuilt-up sections OF
the city, on ungraded streets, and on weed
covered marshes. Tho exposure will not be
so great or so humiiating as in the great
convict workshops of the penitentiaries.
The orlsof tho chain-gang has been in
compliance with the recognized principle
that tho prisoners were not to be subjected
to hurtful publicity, aud in cases whero OK.
posure to tho public gaze was necessary
hardened and well-known offenders are
selected.
The Commissioners claim that the bill
has many good features aud promises good
results, and very satisfactorily answer the
objections which have been made.

THE method adopted for disproving Gen
eral sherman's charge that JEFF. Davis pro-.
posed his own appointment as dictator is
rather ludicrous to casual observer.
General Sherman says he intercepted q
letter from JEFF. Davis to O Confederate
General, now in the Senate, making the
proposition, and that he forwarded the
letter to Washington, and it was never
delivered to the person to whom it was ad-
dressed
Now enterprising Journalists como for
ward and interview all the ex. Confederate
Generals in the Senate, and present their
denials of ever having received such let
ter as proof positive that the statement is
untrue.
The fact that Senator never ro-
ceived certain letter is not the strongest
evidence that such o letter addressed to
him was never intercepted. General Sher-
mans own statement is that the letter was
never delivered.
The Evening critic., 1884-12-11

AMONG the truths that intelligent bust.
ness men hold to be self evident, is the fol-
lowing; Great exhibitions pay, if not imme.
diately, at some later period. The leading
cities of the Old World are convinced of
this. Even under the pressure of hard
times, the Centennial Exposition secured
many handsome orders for its exhibitors.
A prominent firm represented at the Chi
cago Railway Exposition sold sixty thou
sand dollars worth of machinery before the
doors were finally closed. Cincinnati,
Louisville and Atlanta could tell similar
stories. The recent Electrical Exhibition
in Philadelphia cleared handsome balance,
after all expenses had been paid. Allowing
that what Is true Of the past and present Is
equally true Of the future, one cannot
easily resist the conclusion that the New
Orleans Exposition will materially benefit
the merchants aud manufacturers whose
goods are displayed therein. Northern as
well as Southern business men arc inter
ested in making this Exposition success
in every respect.

1T Is NOT foolish waste of time for the
Senate to insist upon passing the bill ad-
mitting Dakota as State. When Terri
tory acquires sufficient population it is her
right to bc admitted to full fellowship in
the Union of States, and it is unjust aud
unfair to turn deaf car to her claims.
If her admission is to be prevented on
partisan grounds, as is very evident, the
blame should bo definitely located.
If the Senate can pass tho bill, and be.
lieves it should be passed, then it is clearly
tho duty Of that body to do so, without
reference to tho willingness or unwilling
ness of tho House to act with equal justice
and propIiety.

OUR Legislators can find much food for

the Member Of Congress who exhibits
patriotism and craftsmanship sufficiently
broad to place on tho statute books legisla-
tion that will rehabilitate our Navy and
enableour merchant marine to re-establish
itself on an even footing with other first
