MINOR NOTES.
1t is authOritatively asserted that no bill for q
free bridge across the Potomac which does not
place the bridge on the Aqueduct piers will receive
the approval OF the House District committee.
Capt James B. EadS, accompanied by number
OF people from Texas, was before the Senate COM
mittee ON commerce this morning, and made an
argument In support OF Senator Maxey's bill 70
provide for the Improvement OF the channel be
tween Galveston harbOr and the Gulf OF Mexico
Mr.. Randall, In answer TO an inquiry, to-day, said
that he thought Congress would be ready to ad-
Journ by the 18th proXlmO.
The House committee on pensions to-day agreed
to favorably report bill providing for the payment
OF pension OF $50 per month TO Mrs. belong,
widow Of Capt. DeLong
At q meeting OF the House committee on agricul-
ture, to-day, 1t was decided TO report adversely
resolution approprlating SIS 600 for the purchase
seeds for distribution among the sufferers by the
overflow OF the Mississippi and its tributaries.
The House committee on commerce will take ul
the butter and cheese bill at their meeting to
morrow. They have found q great quantity OF
bogus butter and cheese through their investiga
tons, and It is expected that the bill, which pro
hbitS these articles will probably receive the ap
prevail OF the committee

Portugal In Africa.

Tho announcement that SERPA PINTO. tho
African traveller is about to explore the
country between Mozambique and Luke Ny
ASA makes IL probable that Portugal has
decided to take stops to carry out its scheme
for tho extension Of its possessions on the
east coast.
Portuguese statesmen and geographers
have for some timc been discussing tho
project OF bringing the country between Mo-
zambiQue and Lake Nyassa under Its con
troll. The English missionaries In that re.
gion hnve been somewhat alarmed. believing
that any extension Of the Portuguese power
would be unfortunate for tho country and
would interfere with their labors.
Portugal has until recently been content
with Its possession OF over 1000 miles of the
eastcoast, and has not attempted to penetrate
moro than twenty to fifty miles inland. except
along the Zambesi and to the gold fields
south Of that river. 1t Is not at all certain
that England will consent to an extension OF
tho Portuguese claims In east Africa. es-
pecially as the British Government has kept
Capt. FooT in the Nyassa region for nearly
two years, empowering him. as Consul-Gen-
eral to promote friendly and commercial
relations between Great Britain and the
chiefs OF that region.
The Congo question is only one Of several
African problems that are coming into prom.
inence in the politics of Europe.

Good Municipal Government Wanted.

The people demand honest and capable
municipal officers. Their duties must be dis
charged In the interests Of the people. and
without regard to political bias. Nothing
should prevent the faithful performance OF
such duties. Tammany has taken stop In
the right direction. It's city and county can

bio Of Office, and have shown that they are

his subordinatcs ran the Office Tho result
was shown In tho Investigations Of the
ROOSEVELT committee. Sheriff. Register.
County Clerk--all confessed that they knew
nothing OF their departments. and that every
thing was left to their subordinatcs.
Tammany has recognized tho demand for
change Tho "good fellows" have been
sent TO tho rear. and men OF absolute charac-
tor have taken their place on the ticket.
There Is no reason why citizens should not
support such ticket Independently of party.
It's election would reduce municipal OK
penses and tighten taxes.

With what feelings can those distinguished
veterans of the Democracy, who have long
fought Its battles and worn its honors, re-
gard their extraordinary candidate OF the
present canvass Although ostonsibly tho
leader to whom all subordinate chiefs must
look for guidance. who should inspire their
efforts and reap for them all the fruits Of VIC
tory, In GROVER CLEVELAND they can see
nothing but the merest f9urehead.
He is confessedly incapable of leadership.
His mind does not grasp that part Of the
responsibilities OF his position. His idea
is that the President should do as he
may be told to do, and not attempt to per-
form those functions prescribed by the Con-
stitution through which, II he would be faith
full to the principles he Is supposed to repre-
sent, he must necessarily be tho leader OF
his party.
In fact, In this canvass tho Democratic can
didate is not presented as skilful politician
or wise statesman. His champions would
have him considered as a man of extraor-
binary moral purity, OF transcendent eleva-
ton Of character, but not OF uncommon in
tellect. He stands as the representative and
embodiment OF that personal morality and
purity which tho unhappy Republican bolt
ers besought the Democrats to cherish be-
fore all principles OF politics aud oil dictates
Of common sense.
It Is not pretended that Mr.. CLEvEL MD
possesses the faculty or tho training that
are necessary to political chief He can
neither direct his party in its present con-
test nor inspire its policy for the future. Ho
has been set up as sort OF political sign
post. He may point out the way to those
who are advancing, but 30 soon as the de-
sired road Is gained, they will turn IL ,lr
backs on him and he will cease to be Of
further consequence.
The only question which Mr.. CIEvELAND's
candidacy has yet excited Is in which dircc-
ton does the sign post point Is 1t toward
FREQ trade or protection Is it toward the
side OF WILLIAM II, MORRISON and FRANK
HURD or In the direction OF SAMUEL j. RAN
