THE whisky men are here, or at least
those to whom the care of Mr.. Willis bill
has been intrusted. There are thousands
of poor people in this District who are on
the verge of starvation. They are without
food or raiment. The District is under the
control Of Congress. Unlike other cities
the authorities of Washington have no
power to expend any considerable amount
of money for charitable purposes. The Off
cials of this District are limited in all they
do to the strict letter of the law of Con-
gress 1t would seem, therefore, that Con-
gress, while considering the Strengthened
condition Of the suffering whisky men,
might we'll remember the poor in tho Capt.
tai Of the Nation and help those who can
not help themselves. The whisky men are
not poor, nor are they suffering except
from having on hand larger supply than
they can dispose of to as great advantage as
they would like. They need no help. The
poor of the city do.

A Handsome Pnrlor GAR.

Perhaps the finest Pullman BUFFET parlor
car ever manufactured by the Pullmans ts the
"Rosetta" on which the Glover Club, of Phila-
delphla, were entertained on Its trial trips
from the Quaker City to Washington. There
have been cars built like IL, but none equaling
II in the splendor OF its finish, equipments and
perfection OF comforts. This car is to con-
stitute ono OF the number like II TO be placed
on the limited rapid transit line between here
and New York. The Queen Anne style OF
interior construction and decoration dis-
tlpguishes this buffet parlor car from any OF
noted company. The wheels are made
OF paper, and are unaffected by
the changes Of atmospheric temperature
and Will never crack or break. Moreover,
they are noieeless while In motion and gIvo
the car an easy, swinging motion, without
]arring or shaking, thus securing movement
In comfort to the passenger similar TO that of
dows are large and OF the finest French plate
glass. The chairs are OF the best cherry wood,
highly polished and upholstered with the
costltest morocco leather. The smoking room
is decked with gorgeous trimmings and sup
piled with luxurious lounges and divans.
The exterior is painted brown, with gold and
red trimmings. The method OF ventilation is
perfect and novel. Dust is entirely excluded,
and the apertures may be adjusted with
reference TO the volume OF heat diffused from
steam-pipes passing through tho length OF tho
car. The temperature is regulated with per-
feet accuracy by q thermometer. For this great
public comfort In railway travel the tourist
Barker, the efficient superintendent OF the
Pullman Car Service OF this division.
"Thus the Pullmans strive to please
BY honest labor's faithful toll.
Their fame has spread beyond the seas
And gained fresh laurels on other soil"

SAFE STEAM BOILER.
A Revelation in the Method Of MAX
ing Hfenml.


IL is trite saying that "lhis Is the age OF
steam" Still, while It is truo Of the steam
engine, 80 many, 80 various, and so valuable
have been the improvements upon II, that there
seems hardly anything left TO be desired,
yet tho stoam boiler has not shared In tho gem
eral advance, the locomotive or tubular type
being In almost universal uso over the whole
civilized world, substantially as It was be.
queathed TO us by Watt Stephenson century
since. Limited In pressure, costly, heavy and
unwieldly, and always dangerous, oven In
the most careful hands, what myriads OF poo
pie It has sent suddenly Into eternity, TO ssy
nothing OF the millions OF property IL has do
stroyed or caused to be destroyed.
1t seems to have been reserved for q practl-
cal printer, curiously enough, TO solve the
problem OF how TO construct steam.boiler
that should remedy, as II seems to us, all the
defects OF the primo factor OF our civilization
tho steem-boiler. The inventor 10 Captain A,
ID. Brock, OF the Government Printing once,
and ono OF his boilers is now being run by THE
CRITIC In driving Its presses, and we cordially
Invite any of our renders who are Interested
In the subject OF steam and Its uses to call and
Inspect what we do not hesitate to term one OF
the most radical Inventions Of this radical age,
and yet, as a naval engineer has we'll said, "a
marvel OF simplicity"
The inventor claims for this boiler--and his
claims are attested by the operation OF some
forty OF them--from to 100 horsepower for
periods ranging from six months to three
years as Its principal advantages.
/. Complete exemption (humanly speakingl
unskilled hands. THE CRITIC boiler was tested
at 500 pounds per square inch Hydraulic
preesure) before leaving the Boston factory,
and no explosion can take place should tho
water got low and cold water bo Injected Into
the overheated plpos.
Q. Its weight is one.halt that OF the tubular
boiler, and the space IL occupies Is about In
proportion.
3. 1t is sectional boiler, made wholly OF
wrought iron pipes tcoils), and constructed by
ingenious machinery and methods designed
by the Inventor, and can, therefore, be manu-.
factured for hdlfGi cost OF the ordinary boiler.
4. All its joints are outside OF the casing or
brick.work, and any one OF Its sections can be
readily removed or replaced 10 case or accl-
dent or injury.
5. 1t saves from % to 35 per cent. OF fuel as
compared with the ordinary boiler.
q. II opensa new feld by Its ability 10 safely
carry very high pressureS TO the compound on
gine, which Is rapidly supplanting all other
types for marine purposes, and for the high
speed engines, which are now beginning to
make great inroads upon the cumbrous en-
glnes, of which the Centennial engine was and
is still Qn tho city OF Pullman) a conspicuous
example.
We shall have more to say about the merits
OF this boiler after we have become more
familiar with its principles and operation.
We especially invite engineers TO inspect It.

DETECTIVE BLOCK must not be laughed
at. Not he. You may laugh as much as
you please at any other mans frantic ef-
forts to save himselfas he slides down upon
the ice. But you mustn't laugh at Block
We take great interest in Block. We
should be very sorry, indeed, to have the
police authorities lose him. But there is
danger Of it. This plant, we fear, is too
sensitive to be put out in the cold and icy
winds Can't the police department find a
place for it where it can warm its little
hands and toes and where it can be safe
from slippery pavements? Something must
be done. This sensitive plant is entirely
too sensitive, and it would be pity to
lose it.

THE proposition of Mr.. Anderson, of Kan.

saS-t0 amend the rules so as
TO require ex.members OF Congress, before be.
ing entitled TO the privileges OF the floor, To
obtain an order from the Speaker, which or.
der shall only be Issued upon the ex.member
declaring upon his honor that he is not inter-
ested, directly or indirectly, In any corpora
tlon or person having pecuniary interest In
the defeat or passage OF q measure before Con-
gress or the committees, and pledg1ng that
while the House Is In session he will not com.
municate with any member respecting any
claim which may affect the welfare OF any
company, corporation, or person having an
interest In legislation. In case OF the violation
OF this pledge the Committee on Rules shall
declare the ex.member forever deprived OF
the privileges OF the floor
is very good as far as it goes, and in the
event nothing better can be secured, should
be adopted. But it would seem that per.
son who would subscribe to the oath re.
quired, and then deliberately violate it
ought to be punished as other perjurers
that is indicted, tried, convicted and SEN
to prison.

TRoHIDITIoN, it seems, does not pro-
hiblt in Ireland any more than it does in
this country. The prohibition there is,
however, of different sort. It isa prohi-
bition of free speech, and an effort to sup
press the meetings of the Nationalists. In
spite of tho prohibition, or proclamation,
as IL is called in ireland, and the presence
of two hundred police the Nationalists held
their meeting at Loughrea, County Gal
way, on Sunday. Three priests made
speeches and denounced the action of the
government

WHETHER General Keifer's charge that
certain newspaper correspondents at the
last session Of the Forty Congress
did try to lobby certain measures through
Congress is true or not The CRITIC is not
prepared to say. But it is prepared to say
that rumors were rife in days gone by
that newspaper men had taken advantage
of their positions as such to secure the clerk
ships Of committees, and while clerks of said
committees and newspaper correspondents
did enter into the business of lobbying for

IL was Downright Robbery.

A few days ago the Democrat published a
list OF fees received by the counsel in the Star
Route cases, Since then II transplres that the
full amount OF payments made TO them was
not reported at flrst, and that the payments
enormous sum OF $150,OO0. IL this Is not
downright robbery OF tho people, We can't call
any name for II.

For some time back certain circles have
been aeitatsd over the relative speed of two
well known young men. and as each one was
confident of his superiority q match was ar
ranged to definitely settle the question. 1t
was settled that the race should take place
Yesterday afternoon over a course of three
hundred yards for purse of $50. When the
time arrived for the race there were at least
four hundred spectators in attendance who
backed their partisanship freely Nth the
filthy lucre. The contestants were Mr.. Viii
liam Donnelly, of Bowman's photograph
gallery, and Mr.. George Mitchell, the tonso-
rial artist. They agreed upon Richard Ma
GEL q noted sporting man of New York, Tor
referee, and Mr.. M. Walker for time keeper:
When the word was given both men started
ind kept well together until within few
yards of the finish, when Mitchell spHEted
and crossed the limo the winner in $50 Sec~
onds. 1t Is said another match will be ar
ranged, as the loser takes comfort In the be-
