Now NIMAlr.

From the publishers, Arthur Schmidt &
Co., of Boston, through Ellis & Co., of this
city, have been received two songs-oue en-
titled Sunbeam" for soprano, and the other
THE Moorish Love Song" for barytone---
both by Steven IL. Jccko, of this city, who is
well known rs the organist of tho church OF
the Tabernacle Both songs, though differ
ing widely in style and treatment, are pleas
ing melodies, and will, no doubt, become
extremely popular Mr. Jecko has other songs
in press which will shortly be published, and
it is satisfactory to note that the number OF
WashngtOns composers is increasing, and
also that the character of the compositions
which they give to the public shows a high
order of musical culture.

ST. MARY,s INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL,
A Short Sketch OF worthy and De-
aerYInE Charity.

serving Charity.
st. Mary's Industrial school stands on plot
of land between II and streets northwest,
on Twonty-third street. which was given to
st. Johns parish by the late Carlisle Patter-
son, superintendent of tho coast survey and
Mrs. Patterson for the purpose Of maintain
ing n church there for the African race. About
the close of the war Mr.. Stanton gave one of
the hospital wooden buildings to the charity.
It was moved on the lot, fitted up as a church,
and the Rev. DR.. Crummel, a graduate of
Oxford, England, took charge of the church.
After DIR. Crummel moved his congregation to
the new structure on Fifteenth street
northwest, st. Johns vestry took charge of
the chapel, and since have maintained SER
vices there. About three years ago, the ladies
of the parish established this industrial
school, and about two years since the parish,
by the help Of individual gifts, erected in
the rear of the chapel substantial brick
school house for its accommodations. 1t 10
designed exclusively for coored girls, but no
distinction is made on account OF faith. 1t is
open to ali from all parts of Washington whilo
there are vacancies.
About 15O girls are taught sewing and em-
broidory. The ladies of the parish are the
teachers in sewing, but in teaching embroid-
cry they have had tho benefit Of the
knowledge and experience Of Mrs. Braselman
of i street, and to teach dressmaking, they
have employed capable young instructress.
The children have then not only sewing and
embroidery, but many other things that
must be useful to them in life and among the
many charities in Washington this humble
one is not the least useful
Tho fair tonight at Willard hall is to get
for this charity the needed funds, for it is
entirely dependent upon contributions for
its support.

Reports received by tho naval hydro
graphic office indicate that tho ice is coming
down from the arctic regions much easier
this season than usual. This state of affairs
is regarded as favorable for the Greedy relief
expedition, as there will be more open water
in the polar region than is usual ut this

qucntly, be less danger from ice pack.

We have failed to notice any of the |
promised breaking away from republi-
canism which was to follow the nomina-
tion of Blaine and Logan. On the con.
trary, the party seems to have become
more solidly republican since the con.
vention than before it. A few weeks ago
there were Blaine men and Arthur men
and Sherman men and Logan men and
several other kinds of men within the
republican party. but when the gavel
fell on the final adjournment of the Chi
cago convention, the elements of antag.
onism within the party had disappeared
and all men were Blaine and Logan men,
arrayed under one standard and devoted
t0 one cause.-the election of the choice
the convention. The exceptions to
this statement are hardly worth the time
and space for mention. They are not
republicans. They are chronic soreheads.
No party has any use for the George
William Curtis class of politicians, ex-
cept that the opposite party may use
their not unfrequent apostasy as illustra.
tions of the allegation that republican,
ism is going to smash. They are like
the meteoric fragments which science
asserts are thrown off from the planets
to wander aimlessly through space until
they intrude upon somebody's atmos-
phere, when there is blaze and q flash
and the light goes out. Within the brief
interval OF time since the republican
nominating convention closed, party
sentiment has solidifed in behalf of the
nominees and their election is now so
nearly assured, that the democratic par
ty is striving only to secure brace of
standard bearers who will make q re-
spectacle showing of opposition-a
showing sufficient to enable them to keep
up party organization. In this condition
of affairs is demonstrated the wisdom of
putting forward leading statesmen-men
of acknowledged ability and worldwide
renown for the highest positions in the
gift of the people. This is no time for
weak candidates of the dark horse, CON-
promise species. With such material
the republican party would have gone
down to defeat in November, but the
republican party possesses the rare fac.
ulty of doing the sensible thing at the
right time. Blaine is better candidate
now than he would have been four year.

It is said that one of the charges made
by Slick Aleck, the alleged attorney
general, against General Campbell is
that once upon time Campbell threw
a broken chair out of the court house
Windows This is very serious offense
and calls for the condignest punishment
an insulted republic can bestow. Think
of it! A decrepit chair, with weak and
wobbling legs, refuses to bear up under
the official avoirdupois, and the official
avoirdupois, thereupon, vexed. perhaps,
because Of repeated accidents occasioned
by the presence of the ipanimate four
legged invalid, pitches it through an
open window, contrary to the statutes in
such cases made and provided and
against the peace and dignity of the
United States of America. 1t is worse
than the sin of receiving testimony
against Ordway, because the chair could
not defend itself, but must lie on the
bosom of mother earth mangled, inerl
mass, whereas Ordway can rustic around
and find law that permits governors tc
plunder the people with impunity. Thai
chair was one of Slick Alexis brightest
thoughts.

A striking feature of the campaign in
behalf of Blaine is the strong probability
that he will carry large proportion Of
the democratic Irish vote. This Is i'm.
portant when applied to the doubtful
and important state OF New York, where
the result is controlled by the voting
disposition of the city of New York,
where the Irishman is master of the
situation on election occasions. Above
his party fealty and above his religion
the Irishman loves his liberty and those
who defend his love for liberty. No man
in this nation has been so prominent as
Blaine in defence of the rights of this
class of people. A prominent illustra-
tion of his successful work in this
direction occurred while he was the
leader in congress>in 1867 50. 1t was in
the case of Augustus Costello, General
Dennis, F. Burke and q dozen others.
The correspondence the London Stand
ard, in commenting upon Blaine's nom-
ination, gives this concise history of the
case. He says: "Costello was arrested
in Ireland in 1867, and placed on trial
for speech made in New York, while
an American citizen, in 1865, which was
construed as reasonable. Under the
act of ls4S. which especially declared
England'a right to punish upon British
soil British born subjects for treasonable
utterances or performances made upon
foreign territory, Costello was sentenced
to sixteen years penal servitude. Hi
claims of American citizenship were
ignored upon the ground that there
was nothing in any treaty existing

refused to carry out their personal and
sectional plans and as they have
no use for man who declines to yield to
their edlcts, their present proposition is
to supplant him and secure member Of
their own combination in his place. In
the north this movement has assumed
such prominence that the opponents Of
the Bismarck ring are earnestly at work
to defeat it and maiority of the resi-
dents of that section are determined to
stand by Raymond. They make this
the issue because it is their belief that
Dakota's present delegate is safe man
in the place, a tireless worker and sue
cessful representative. They will ask
the cooperation of the south to aid them
in breaking down the designs of the cor

accord. Mr.. Raymond has been faithful

though he has incurred the enmity ol

not count to his disfavor.
