THERE is bill now pending in Congress
which provides for pensioning members of
the Metropolitan Police Force and tho Fire
Department who may become disabled in
the line Of duty. And 1t is a necessary and
just bill and ought TO bo passed aen. con-
and no taxpayer or householder would OBJ
ject to it.
But the bill is defective in one respect
and needs an amendment When the po-
lico force was organized fund was pro-
vided for, which should consist Of money
received from rewards, ffes for neglect of
duty and from the sale of unclaimed or aban-
doned property in charge of the Police De-
partment. This fund was evidently in
tended to be used for the relief of disabled
policemen who might be discharged on that
account, but the sact is that it never has
been so applied. According to tho last re-
port of the Chief of Police this fund has ac-
cumulated to the sum of $4,000. Had it
not been mismanagcd and misused in days
gone by it would have been 700 at least
Now, in 1870, eleven policemen were dis
charged on surgeons certificate that they
were unfit either from disease or injuries
incurred in tho lioe Of duty for further
service. These men were turned Off with
shattered constitutions without o dollar
paid them from the fund Which was in
tended to benefit them. Since that time
perhaps twenty more have been discharged
under the same circumstances.
1t is but matter of ordinary justice,
then, that the pension bill now pending, as
above stated, should include an amendment
that the fund referred to above should be
distributed among the men hitherto dis
charged for disability; Or on the other
hand, the fund should be covered into the
United States Treasury and the pension be
made retroactive as far as this class of men
| is concerned. For, il disabled policemen
are hereafter to be provided for by pension,
where is the need of the fund and Is it not
equitable that men who, in the past, have
been disabled in the service of protecting
the property of the Government and of tho
| people of the District, should share in the
benefits which Congress tardily bestows
upon their successors, who will not be one
| jot OF little more deserving?

A Correction.

10 The Editor Of The Erening Critic:
In your report OF the temperance meeting at
Georgetown on Friday evening, you represent
port OF the inspectors OF jails and prisons OF
Maine paragraph to the effect that there were
I,037 arrests for drunkenness In that state
asst year." The paragraph as read spoke of
commiitale, not arrests. Mr.. Dingley stated
that the number OF arrests for drunkenness IN
Maine were last year about one 10 every 225
OF the population, which would make the
whole number a little under 5000, instead OF
1855, as recently published paragraph
charged. Mr.. ID. further said that nearly all
the arrests for drunkenness In Maine were In
the cities, where the secret traflic had been
driven. only about 800 arrests for drunken.
ness were mado outside OF the cities, that por-
lion OF Maine having over 100000 population.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES.
FORT STREET CHURciT.

The services at Fort Street Church
were Of an exceedingly interesting
nature, conducted upon we'll
arranged programme, as follows:
First there was an organ voluntary
rendered with skill and taste by Mrs.
A. +. Judd. This was followed by
the DoXology, sang by the choir and
congregation. Pastor Cruzan then
uttered a solemn invocation of
Divine favor, which was followed by
an appropriate response from the
choir. President Arthur's pro-
clamation'of Thanksgiving Day was
read by the Rev. DR.. Damon, and
hymn sung with much power by the
large congregation led by the choir
came between this reading and that
of portion of Scripture by the Rev.
A. o. Forbes. An anthem, 80
Lord, how manifold are thy works" +"
was sung by the choir, and the Rev.
DIR. Hyde offered up prayer, in
which the great blessings and privi-
leges vouchsafed to the American
nation iu the past were acknow-
lodged, and the guiding hand of
Providence in the recent political
contest recognized, with the express
sion of n belief that all would be for
the best in the end, however much
some of the people might in their
haste regard the issue as only dis
astrous. A response by the choil
was then succeeded by hymn sung
by the choir and congregation, after
which an able Thanksgiving sermon
was preached by the Rev. f. c.
Oggel. The national hymn, My
Country, It's of thee" was sung
with thrilling effect by choir an(
congregation, and the Rev. Mr.

D0lNCS,
HlNnLuLu'S HEALTH.

The statements we have recently
made concerning the death rate in
Honolulu and the statistics by which
those statements were fortified
appear to have caused considerable
annoyance to the powers that he.
This is quite natural, and it is equal
ly natural that the journal support
ing the Government should try to
break the force of our remarks. The
manner of doing so, however, is
thoroughly silly, unless indeed we
suppose as the Adceriser people
seem to do, that their readers never
look into any other paper and are
prepared TO accept with unquestion-
ing faith, any fiction, however wild,
which that journal may see fit TO
print. On no other supposition can
we explain the barefaced attempt to
account for the discrepancy between
the figures of the Boards Of Educa-
tion and Health, by asserting that
the former included the deaths in
the small pox hospital and the latter
did not. This statement is absolutely
and unqualilicdly false. The returns
of the Board of Health did include
all the deaths from small poX which
occurred in this district, so far as
the same were known to the agent Of
the Board. They were 270 in num-
Der. OF these, POI died in the
hospital, according to the records Of
that institution, and the remainder
died outside. Furthermore, the
year 1881 was not (outsidc Of small
pox) an exceptionally unhealthy
year in any way. The idea that it
was so. rests solely upon the unsup-
ported assertion of the AdvertiScr.
There is not 4 particle of proof that
such was the case and none can be
produced. These statements of that
paper either display the grosscst
ignorance of the matter under dis
cussion, or else they arc wilful
fabrications. The Health editor is
at liberty to sit upon either horn
of the dilemma he may prefer.

There is strong impression in
Washington, even among leading
Democrats, that Mr.. Cleveland will
make but few changes in the public
offices. lie is regarded as an earnest
civil service rcformer. and it is be-
lievcd that within a year Democrats
who are after the spoils will be at
variance with him, but that he will
be sustained by n majority of the
party. lie has placed himself in n
position that will enable him TO carry
out firm policy in any matter upon
which his views are especially pro-
nounced. as in his letter of accept
ancc he said that he was in favor of
limiting the Presidential term to four
years and implied that he was not n
candidate for n second term. The
real estate agents Of Washington
are manifesting no anxiety as to
fluctuations of the market in conse-
quencc of changes in the civil SER
vice. a large proportion of the
clerks have been spending all they
made, and of the higher officials
who own real estate it is anticipated
that those who feel apprehensiye of
dismissal will quietly dispose Of their
property before the fourth of March.
Some of the agents are among those
who believe that Cleveland will re-
tain the services of good men
wherever he finds them.

close Win prayer or thanksgiving
and the benediction.
Mr.. Oggel took for his text the
18th and 10th verses Of the 18th
chapter Of Hebrews; by him
therefore let lis offer the sacrifice Of
praise to God continually, that is,
with the fruit of our lips giving
thanks to his name. And to do good
and to communicate forget not, for
with such sacrifice God is well
pleased" He opened by quoting a
tribute of Addison to the virtue of
gratitude, and said thankfulness was
not u talent, but disposition to be
wisely and carefully cultivated.
While it was right and duty for
individuals and families to daily
manifest their thankfulness to the
Giver of all Good for all his bene-
fits, yet it was exceedingly appro-
pirate that there should be such
day as this one set apart to make
national acknowledgment of Divine
favor to the nation. They could re-
joice that their nation was Chris
tian one. A large proportion of its
public servants we're men guided by
religion and morality. AS to the
occasion of national thanksgiving,
he said it would hardly he possible
to take an inventory of all their
blessings. He would, however, clas-
sify them generally under three divi-
sions. The first was, Life and its
attendant blessings" and in enlarg-
ing upon this the preacher referred
to the immunity of the American
nation during the year from pestil-
ence, war and earthquake, all of
which had visited certain other parts
of the world. The second division
was, "Our educational agencies, "
treating Which he spoke of the great
facilities the American youth had for
acquiring a thorough education, so
that there was nothing in that res
pect to bar the way of any boy to
the highest seat of government. He
also referred TO the excellent Chris
tian schools of Honolulu, and paid q
high tribute to their late royal patron,
Mrs. Bishop. As one of the most
powerful cducative influences of the
age was the press, which was one OF
our greatest blessings to the extent
that it was devoted to justice, righte-
BUSINESS and truth. The final divi-
sion was, Religion and its bless
ings,' in regard to which he urged
that for all their religious privileges
they should prove their gratitude
by making their aim, "Hawaii fol
Christ" Under the second portion
of the text-"and to do good and tc
communicate forget not''-thc
preacher spoke briefly upon true
Christian benevolence, at this sea-
son and at all times, being one OF
the most noble evidences of graft
tude. He closed by warm tribute
to the two ladies who had just come
here upon labors of love to the com.
munity.
The audience almost filed tho
church, and comprised many of the
most prominent citizens of American
nationality and origin.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The rumor that Confederate flag
was hoisted on the Capitol mt At
lanta, Georgia, upon the receipt of
news of the Democratic triumph, has
been denounced as "a base and
malicious falsehood," in a despatch
of Nov. 10th, from a member of the
Democratic national committee at
Augusta, who adds :---'' On the con-
trary there were over 5000 United
States Federal flags sold in Atlanta
on the day of election. Every house
has Federal flag flying. Not a
Confederate flag has been seen in
Atlanta during or since the cam
paign." "
