THE Republican Central Committee of
the District of Columbia will meet to-
night for reorganization. 1t rests with the
delegates to vindicate the good name aud
fair fame of the Republicans of the Dis
trict, and to give the lie to the assertion of
certain afternoon paper that the Republi-
can party of this District is disorganlzed
mob. In its blind and unreasoning opposi-
tion to the Republicans of this District,
and in its zeal to pander to tae aristocratic
and silk-stocking element as against the
masses who really want the right of self
government here, the Star has been for
weeks engaged in the, to it, agreeable
task Of throwing mud and heaping ridicule
upon all the Republican clubs. In order to
accomplish its purpose it has not hesitatcd
to resort to the most outrageous misrepre-
sentation. Now comes the opportunity to
show that the Republicans of the District
are worthy of all respect and confidence.

THE probable cost of pensioning the sur

THE probable cost of pensioning the sur
vivors of the Mexican war was stated in
THE CRITIC yesterday. 1t is mere
bagatelle. But the question of cost
has nothing to do with it, These
brave men should be pensioned. 1t is a
matter of justice and right, and that being
so, dollars and cents are not to be consid-
cred. A portion oftho surplus revenue can
not be better applied, and 1t is disgrace to
this Government that these brave men have
had to beg SO long for what they are justly
entitled to.
