Hon. HouiS E. McComac has recniv-
ed a note from Frederick J. Nelson.
his Democratic opponent for Con.
gress in this 1.-THE SIXTH district, in
wiling him TO a joint discussion IN
the several counties thereof. Mr.
McComas in reply says that nOtwith-
standing he has already made his
arrangements for meetings in all the
counties except his own Washing
tom, he will accede to the request of
Mr.. Nelson, and meet him IN joint
discussion in Montgomery, Freder-
lex, Allegany and Garrett counties
at such times and places as mutual
friends may agree upon. In his reply
Mr.. McCOmas says that in two pre-.
vious campaigns he has not deemed
it necessary to hold series of meet
Jugs in his own county, nor is it his
purpose to do so in this campaign.
His immediate constituency know
him personally and politically, know
his antecedents and his official record
as their representative, and he will
not therefore direct his efforts in
their midst. but transfer them to
quarters where he is not so well
known. In other words he is nOw'
as in the past, willing to trust him
self and his cause in the hands of
those who know him best without an
appeal to them through speeches and
meetings.

AS just now an English lord has set

the most terrible discoveries have been
i made Of suffering, disease and neglect.
The movement has spread from London
to Paris and other large centers Of popu-
Iation; and has appeared in due time on
this side Of the water. The American
Explorations have proved that the adj

man have not been over estimated.
There is much poverty of an extreme
character nnearthed. but nothing. that
compares with that found in the lowest
levels of society in other lands. And our
very poor as rule, are foreigners, who

Secretary Chandler made requisition
upon the civil service commission tor nom
inatlon for vacancy in the clerical force
of the department; in response the com mis-
sio certified to him the names Of four per-
sons from which to make selection. This
afternoon Chandler returned to the COM
mission the nominations sent him. accom-.
panied by note, in which he. stated that
having carefully inspected the examination
pspers OF the four parsons whose names
were certified he reached the conclu-
sion that none of the candidates had, upon
examination. showed sufficient intelligence
to give promise of filing the vacancy in his
department acceptably. This action Of the
secretary raises an interesting question. Il

sioners. Commissioner Thomau said that
the persons whose names were certified to
the secretary passed fair examination be-
fore the commission, and in certifying them
all the provisions of the law and civil ser.
vice rules were fully compiled With. In
his Judgment no other certificates Of names

! "A steamer is to be built at Buffalo
during the coming spring and summer,
which, it is, expected, will do much
toward restoring passenger travel on
the great lakes to the proud position il
held before the day of railroads. The
new vessel is to be about three hundred
feet in length, built OF steel, and
designed to attain a speed of eighteen
miles an hour, making it possible to
cover the distance between Buffalo and
Duluth in about three days. AS the
route between these two cities is al
short by water as by land, such q vesse.
will have little to fear from railroad
competition during fine weather, and
win no doubt do much to give the lakes
the popularity among tourists which such
magnificent bodies of water deserve.
