Last spring Miss Daisy Hodkiuson, of this
city, applied to Mr.. Daniel Frohman, of the
Madison Square theator, New York, for place
in his company Mr. Frohman made no en-.
gagcmont with her at that time, owing to the
latcness of the season, but on Thursday last
tclcgraphed her to come to New York She
went and Mr.. Frohman, afler witnessing an
exhibition of her ability, engaged her for tho
season. She will mako her debut as second
leading lady in the new play, "The Private
Secretary" which WILDE put ton at the Madison
Square theatcr oct. 1.
Miss Hodkinson is beautiful and attractive
young lady, well known in this city in conncc-
tion with amateur thcatricals as a member of
the Lawrence Barrett Dramatic club. She Is
but II years of age, but seems more mature.
She is perfectly enamored with her chosen
profession, aud brings to 1t natural talents
which ought to give her n leading place. The
natives Of Washington who have won fame on
the stage are not few, and Washington people
will be glad to see Miss lTodkinson win success
equal to that of the best of them.

was not the purpose of congress to need
lcssly restrict their freedom in another.
Tho broad rights Of citizens, the rights
Of property, of speech, of action, and of
association, belong alike TO government
clerks aud all citizens. Tho members of
congress- IN thor determination to stop
oppression took good caro- not to estab-
lish tyranny. Congress went to tho
utmost limit of its power in order to pro-
tect these people, but stopped strictly short
at that limit in order to leave constitu-
tional liberty intact. @ Tho clerk,
outside of his clerkship, is still citizen,
Us n citizen has tho common interest Of all
good citizens in the progress and welfare
Of his country, the common right to vote
and express his opinions, to form as5ocia-
tions with those Of like opinions, and to
use his money, in all lawful ways, to pro
pagate his opinions. As an officer or
employo Of tho government, he Is strictly
under tho authority of congress in all his
official work and relation, and must not
violate any one Of the four prohibitions Of
the civil service act. But away outside
Of his official lifo aud rotations, beyond
tho realm Of his duties to the government,
and beyond his connections with govern
mental people aud places, he becomes tho
simple citizen, and has all tho duties,
interests, and rights Of his fellow-c -citizons
not in public employ"
The people owe to Commissioner Greg.
Dry a vote of thanks for giving public ut.
torance to this plain, common.senso in.
depreciation of law that has given
gang of solf.righteous champions of the
doctrine of the morality Of indeconcy an
excuse for attempting to intimidato gov.
ornmcnt officials, and at tho same time ad-
ycrtiso their own superior purity. A gov
ornment appointment is neither cmascu-
lation nor disfranchisement.

Fix Up tho Streets.

Sometime since, when the people who
own property on G and Sixth streets
called on tho commissioners and asked
that those thoroughfares be made passa-
bio by decent pavements, the eminent
gontlemen who control our destinies were
obliged to reply, rather enthusiastically,
that they would "See about it," or words
to that effect. If they will tako sufIi-
ciently broad and sensible view of tho
situation they may "See about it, TO
some purpose. They are doubtless now
engaged in making up their estimates for
next years appropriation. They will not
get as much as the city needs if they do
not ask for it. If they will ask for
what is needed, and show some sssur-
anco that the amount asked for will be
properly and economically expended
they will bo apt to get it, if not from
this congress from some other in the near
future. The people Of tho whole country
feel a pride in the national capital, aud
when thoy come hore do not caro- to find
it looking shabby. They will not be-
grudge us all that is needed. In fact ii
is more than probable they will be glad to

DEAR Sin: The transfer agent of your com.
pany at Ninth and + streets, Mr.. SOnncrman

the passengers of two cars to inconvenience by
prematurcly starting them, totally without oC.
casion. When quietly demonstrated with for
the palpable Inconvenience to which he sub
lected several of your passengers, he became
insOlCnt and impeTtincnt in his language, and
refused to give his name, thereby admitting
his culpablc disregard of the rights of passen-
gers whose fares upon your road were already
in the hands of your agents. Believing that
you would desire to insure proper regard for
the comfort and convenience Of the patrons of
the road, and that you would at lCust exact
courteous manners and language on the part
ofyour agents, the occasion is respectfully
brought to your notice. Yours, %c.,, ,,,

I THE arc no areas of corn to-day that
the frost would iDjure. This rather sud
den change in the outlook for corn was
brought about by intense heat in the
early portion of September, when tho
crops made daily and rapid strides toward
maturity. 1t is a singular fact, but never
theless true, that corn matured this sea-
son in Minnesota and Wisconsin before it
did in Illinois. The corn bins during the
last month have been swept cleaner than
usual, old corn being in great demand and
now corn not marketable, The uow crop
comes into the market with more than
the usual large consumption, and there is
nothing in the situation to indicate that
there will be any glut Of this cereal for
somo months at least, In fact, it is only
fair TO assume, with the depleted stocks
of old corn, that another crop must be
given before corn will be drug.
