THE ADMINISTRATION.
Its Pelicy Affecting the Price of Real Estate

Special 20 the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, August pit is absurd to write
that the distinctive policy of the present admins
tration is likely to affect the price of real estate.
This, however, is true. The strained and un-
natural conditions of the departments influence
the sales. Republican clerks and the heads OF di-
Visions feeling insecure in their positions, are
not buying. and the Democrats not buying
for the reason that there are not enough of them
here. As soon as il becomes definitely known
that the Republicans will not have to go, that the
system of continuing and promoting them is not
a catch, the sale Of Washington real estate for
small homes win proceed.
@aS
For the city, the melancholy days have come;
the saddest OF the year. At no other season is
Washington so lonesome. The knowledge that
the Government is i'm the woods and at its usual
haunts, as the French say, not visible, keeps the
Office seekers away. The absence OF the President
is perhaps the largest cause OF the vast unbroken
dullness, OF which the local papers and the cor
respondents are complaining. But since spring
quickened the gardens and the parks into full
bloom, the best assorted sto of delightful
weather is now prevailing. Moistened with a sob
bing rain at least twice week 50 generous yet so
delicate that no weather prophet can complain,
there i an exquisite touch of Indian summer in
the climate. The fellows who struggled through
and between the departments during the months
of July and August will remember those streets,
now cool and comfortable, with feeling OF
agony
Now that Bayless W. Hanna is far out on the
glad waters OF the bright blue sea, viii tell what
/ have lately learned. In no other Minister vet
appointed has the administration much conf
dence. IN the manner that he has managed his
own case ii is detected that senator Voorhees, was
correct when he assured the appointing power
that there was no better Ministerial talent in the
country. ''As long as he was the attorney of the
Nandalia Railroad he never had any cases TO

THE CHICAGO sTRrKERs.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 6.--Two hum
bred strikers, several Of Pinkerton's
detectives and few deputy sheriffs,
arrived at the Western avenue car
barn at 5 O'Clock this morning and
half an hour later five hundred police
men were on the ground. They were
detailed from five precincts and were
commanded by Capt. Bonfeld. Cars
will be run out on Van Buren,, Mad
ison, Randolph and Lake streets. All
Of the streets named will be patrolled
by the police, and every effort will be
made to keep the car track free OF OBJ
struction. The fire department has
been instructed to be in readiness in
case of any disturbance when a liber-
al supply of water will be showered
upon any parties manifesting dispo-
sition to break the peace, stacks of
arme with bayonets have been con-
veyed from the police stations to the
barns and the police armed with these
weapons will charge on any persons
who attempt to obstruct the passage
of the cars. Each car will be in the
charge Of two or three police, their
object being to allow as many officers
as possible an opportunity to patrol
the streets along the railroad tracks.
1t is feared in some quarters that seri-
GUS trouble may ensue during the
next hour. AT this time,7 80 a. M,
the strikers who are gathered in the
vicinity of the barns, assert that if the
police carry out their present inten-
ton of patrolling the routes of travel
and leaving the cars in charge of two
or three of their men, a vigorous at
tack will be made, and the strikers
will endeayor by every possible means
in theirpower to prevent the cars from
running.
At s :45 a. M, great crowds were
about the barns of the car company
on Western avenue all morning, but a
large force of police was sufficient to
suppress any signs of incipent disor-
der Under the protection of officers
five cars were placed upon the Ran
dolph street line, and made the jour
ney down town without encountering
any serious opposition. They have
now started on their return trip carry
ing however, only policemen.
There was partial resumption Of
street car travel to-day, under the
protection of the police. The strikers
are comparatively quiet, but further
trouble is feared when the police is
withdrawn.

Who would have imagined ten years
ago that in the summer of 1885 the
Republican party would be so short of
great men that it would be unani-
mously and fervidly chanting praises
to John A. Logan? Yet that is what it
is doing. The whole party press is
expressing its delightIwith the speeches
at the recent Boston banquet and is
holding up Logan's views of the prin-
cipal of the party as the true and only
ones. In fact, there is genuine
Logan boom abroad in the party, and
he himself has probably little doubt
that it will give him the Republican
nomination for the Presidency in 1885,
And why shouldn't he have it? If the
sort of principles which he proclaims
are just the sort which the Repub-
Iican party likes--if they are, as an
admirng Blaine editor in Boston calls
them, "true Republican ozone"-then
he is the man to lead the party when"

Cheap Postage.

The New Yorker of so, who can now
send letter weighing as much as an
ounce to San Francisco for two cents,
in his youth would have had to pay so
cents to send the same package no far
ther than Pittsburg. Up to 1916 the
charges remained as high for single
sheet letter as six cents for distance
ofless than 80 miles 10 cents between
so and so miles; 121S cents between
so and $50 miles; 49, cents between
$50 and 400; and % cents over 400
miles, with double rates in each case
if two sheets of paper were used. The
act of 1915 reduced and simplihed
rates greatly, the half-ounce. limit
being then introduced, and the only
distinction as to distance being that
OF 200 miles, below which the rate was
five cents, and beyond it ten. In 1S48
the rate was reduced from five cents
to three, and the distance limit extend
ed to three thousand miles, while in
1868 the question Of distance within
the limits of the United States was
ABSOLUTELY waived, The next step for
ward was taken in 1888, when the
letter ratewas reduced from three cents
to two, and the present extension Of
the weight limit is only the logical
completion Of this reform.-New York

Blaine and William Walter

1t is a source OF wonder that Blaine
still retains his friendship for William
Walter Phelps, who is responsible for
two OF the serious plumbers of the cam
paign-frst in his making Edmunds
an irreconcilable enemy, and, second,
in his working up Blaine to bring the
Indianapolis libel suit. Phelps made
trip to Bar Harbor for the sole pur-
pose of bringing about this suit. He
danced like a dancing dervish when
he had accomplished chat wonderful
bit OF strategy. 1t was the influence
of such men as Phelps with Blaine
that has done more to discourage his
old followers than his defeat last year.

Reducing the Human Nose.

An English physician claims to have
discovered method of reducing the
human nose. The process, which he
calls multiple punctiform scarifice,"
consists in rapidly prickling the nose
with anumber Of minute double-edged
steel blades fixed in handle From
500 to 1900 punctures are made at a
sitting, and the operation is performed
every week or two for some months !;
meanwhile the organ is kept well
anointed. At first sight the operation
does not seem attractive, but the
doctor says it is not painful"

Water Spout.

SAN ANTONIO, July 6.-Yesterday
morning, near WolGen, $50 miles west
of here, an east bound freight train
was struck by water spout. The
engineer saw the spout approaching,
bounding along like a rubber ball,
tearing up the earth and uprooting
allin the way. He reversed the engine
to avoid it. Just as the water spout
reached the line of road it changed its
course, and bounding along parallel
to the track with frightful velocity.
When opposite the train the water
spout burst, divulging the engineer,
fireman and brakeman, who aban-
doned the train and climbed some
trees to avoid the wave. The water
was fully eight feet high, and about
one hundred feet wide. The locomo-
tive and fourteen cars were raised bod
lily and carried nearly 200 feet from
the track, while the road bed was com.
pletely obliterated No one was hurt
and the extent of the damage is moi
yet ascertained. Through trains west
OF here on the Sunset road have been
abandoned. The road beds and q
number of bridges have been washed
away by the recent heavy rains.

The FIO,.rvilIe Crime.

The FIOurVtlIe Crime.
Last Saturday night a daring at
tempt was made to rob the store OF
Galloway & Co. at Flourville. A lit
tie after midnight Mr.. Geo. D. Gallo
way, who sleeps in the store, heard
some parties trying to get in at the
front door. Thinking it might be
some OF the young men in the neigh
borhood trying to scare him, he got
up and went out at the rear door and
around to the front OF the building
and asked who was there and what
they were doing. One OF the parties
told him, with an oath, to get away
from there, and before he had time to
move a pistol shot was fired Mr..
Galloway found he was shot, the ball
first passing through the heshy part of
the left arm and striking just below
the left nipple ranged downward.
The wound is q very dangerous one,
but it is thought Mr.. Galloway will
recover. AS yet the ball has not been
found by the physicians. Mr.. Gallo
way recognized the man who did the
shooting as John Butler, who lives
near Johnson City. Butler was in the
store the day before the shooting and
bought small piece OF tobacco. 1t is
thought he did this to find out where
the money was kept. Two or three
other parties were seen in the neigh.
borhood with Butler the same day.
The next day Johnson City's excellent
policeman, Oliver Burleson, heard of
the affair and procured a warrant for
the arrest OF Jno. Butler, Mart Mathes
and Geo. Bailey, and in company with
Ed Hale, JEFF SCOTT and Robt. Kilgore
started for the house OF Mathes about
one and half miles northwest of
Johnson City, They found Butler
and Mathes both there eating their
dinner, and arrested tn EN-.
Butler at first refused to take his
hand out Of his pocket or allow him.
self to be searched, but Burleson had
the drop on him and made him stand
still while JEFF Scott took cooked
pistol from his pocket The pistol
had all but one chamber loaded with
80 long cartridges, and that one was
loaded with a so short and showed APP
pearances of having recently been
fired. Butler and Mathes were taken
before ESQ. Pickens, Sunday alter
noon, and after hearing we're COM
mitted to Jail at Jonesboro. Butler
wrs taken in the room before young
Galloway, who fully identified him.
Butler denied to the officers who ar
rested him that he was at Galloway's
store the day before the shooting,
but this was disproved by half doz-
ell credible witnesses. Geo. Bailey is
wanted but is still at large. After the
shot was fred the thieves all ran
away leaving an inch auger which
they had used TO bore through the
front door. 1t is thought this anger
was stolen from some mechanic, and
II anybody has missed one he is re-
quested to communicate the fact to
Mr. Galloway, as this may be an i'm
portant link in the chain OF evidence.
The last news news we have from Mr..
Galloway is that he is doing well.
We hope he will soon recover, and
that the rascals who attempted first to
rob and then to kill him, will meet
with swift and sure punishment.
