The Democratic papers as a class
back up everything the administration
does, especially as to removals from Of
flee. The latest case of thick and thin
partisanship is their approval of Presi
dent Cleveland's refusal to furnish to the
Senate the documents connected with the
removal Of Republican offieeholders. It
is claimed that the President has a right
to remove any one he chooses, for any
reason he may think justi6able, and that
he is not under any obligation to furnish
any papers on file in the departments in
reference thereto. This may, possibly,
be the law, but it is not reasonable
policy. The President, aoith the adUiee
and consent Of the Senate, is to appoint
certain public officers. These officers can.

the case now stands, good man who has
been put in Office by the consent of the
Senate may be removed by the President

vent him from putting bad man in his

The State Senate has passed the bill
amending the general railroad law. This
bill, when approved by the Assembly,
blocks the scheme of developing Staten
Island at the sacrifice of the material in
terests of New Jersey, and is just mea-
sure. Staten Island belongs to New Jer-
sey of right. Its location is such that it
naturally falls within its domain, and
only far-fetched legal decisions made it
otherwise. But since New York gobbled
it up, it cannot expect that New Jersey
win aid in its development. New jerseys
duty is to look after its own interests SO
far as they do not materially interfere
with the rights Of Others, and no one will
pretend that commercial intercourse be.

a refusal to sanction the Baltimore and

THE CAUSE OF CRIME.-We do not
wonder that Mr.. Winfield, speaking in
his official capacity as Prosecutor of the
Pleas, said that three. fourths of all the
criminal business in the courts of Hudson
county is the f.uit Of rum selling and
rum drinking. He is continually con-
fronted with the proof of his statement.
The case of Flood, for the alleged murder
of Sexton, is rum product. A man, who
has been at drunken picnic, who is him
self "fghtiDg drunk" is done to death
by the deadly knife, and another man is
put in jeopardy of the haugman's rope as
the sequence Of the bloody tragedy. If
there had been 10 rum there would have
been no murder and no possibility of a
hanging. Yet all the places at which the
parties who got drunk at the picnic, the
place or places where Sexton got the IL
quor which made him fighting drunk, and
led him to violent and bloody death,
were authorized to supply the maddening
and poisonous drinks by our Aldermen on
the solemn asseveration that 1t was neces-
sary 'for the public good" to grant the
authorization. What CHASTITY and
grotesque buresque on the truth is such

The announcement last week that the
Supreme Court had decided Gov. Abbett's
pet railroad taxation law demonstrations
al, was not unexpected to those who had
thoughtfully considered the question, but
it was surprise to the mass of the peo-
pie This decision deprives the state Of
about seven hundred thousand dollars in
taxes, and will necessitate state tax to
raise the amount. The Legislature has
already taken action on the question, and
has ordered the case carried to the Court
of Errors at special session, and it is be-
lieved that its decision will be reached
in six weeks time. 1t is not probable
that It will fail to confirm the decision
of the Supreme Court.

1t don't seem to require much exer-
ton for some legislators to make asses
of themselves, and the man who intro
duced the project to publish the laws OF
the State in pamphlet form instead of in
the newspapers put on his ears without at
all feeling tired. The laws published in
the newspapers reach large majority OF
the people in the State who are intelli-
gent enough to understand the laws after
they are read A half million copies in
pamphlet form could not be made to reach
the same number or class of people, for it
would be impossible to distribute them.

in the course of his harangue in favor of
the Baltimore and Ohio R. R., in the State
Senate last week. TIE Senator is irrita-

recognize the great man of the Senate.

Local prejudice and official laundering
seem to have combined to create one Of
the most serious causes of complaint
which the Chinese authorities has yet had
the opportunity to bring against the
United States government. A member
of wealthy importing firm of San Fran
cisco, Chinaman who was returning to
that city after q four years absence, dur
ing which time he had been raised to the
rank Of mandarin, was refused permission
to land, had no opportunity to apply to
the courts aud was shipped back to China
without being allowed to leave the vessel
on which he bad voyaged The offer of
the Chinese Consul General to give heavy
bonds pending an investigation was re-
fused, and as a matter of course this will
be made test case by the Chinese gov
eminent. 1t is high time that this mat
ter should be taken in hand, either by the
President or by Congress.

The Meeting at West POint-Statisties
Of she ChuIches-Now Pastors. &c.
The one-hundred- and-third annual
meeting Of the Dover Baptist Associa-
tion closed last night at West Point.
This body embraces all the white Bap-
tist churches in Richmond, Henrico,
Hanover, King William, New Kent,
Charles City, James City, Warwick,
York, Williamsburg, and Hampton.
Theintroductory sermon was preached
by Rev. George Cooper, and was well
received. His text was John xiii, ],
and his theme was 1.-The Love of the
Departing Christ"
The following officers were unanl-
mously elected Moderator, William
Fllyson Clerk, Edward b. Pollard
Treasurer, j. +. Cottrell.
OF the fifty-fye churches Of the AS
socia,ion ffty-,hree sent letters, which
Mr.. William s. Pitcher read to the
body. From these letters we get the
following statistics Additions to the
churches during the year, 926-making
the present membership 9,299 of these
1852 are males and 5,767 are females !;
scholars and teachers in the Sunday
school, 6,9S7; eleven churches have
secured new pastors during the year,
and the outlook of the Bsptists in this
their metropolitan District Association
is decidedly bright.
While the report on the state Of the
churches was under discussion the
moderator called Professor Ed. Har-
rison to the chair, and gave TO the AS
sociation an account of his stewardship
as " lay bishop" Of the Association
that's what the preachers call him-and
closed by thanking the churches for the
kind reception given him in his
visits"
DIR. Dickinson followed, saying, "For
Brother Ellyson to thank you for re-
ceiving him kindly is as if you should
put bread into the mouth of q starving
man and then thank him for eating it.
Without foe or reward our lay bishop
has done an amount Of work Of the
magnitude of which you know but little.
lie is all the while securing laborers for
destitute fields. When you are asleep
be is studying how to help you. In
stead Of his thanking the churches let
the latter thank him. Let US have a
thanksgiving-dsy, and all day long
Thank the Lord for William EllysOn.
Let his name be printed in bright let
ters on flags which shall be flung out
from our windows, and let us on that
day hold him up TO our children as one
every way worthy of their admiration
and imitation"
The report on education, read by
Rev. William J. Shipman, called to
their feet Professors II. II. Harris, Ed.
Harrison, and John Pollard. The last
mentioned referred very delicately to
the fact that he gives up larger salary
iu accepting college professorship.
Rev. j. NJ. Pitcher made fine exhibit
for bis Sunday School and Bible Board.

Rev. J. W. Wildman. and others spoke

The elevator at the Capitol is in good

The two new rooms which are being
constructed on the third and fourth
floors of the Capitol where the southern
stairway used TO be are nearly com.

be occupied as an office by Attorney
General Ayers and the lower one as a
legislative committee-room.
The passage-way and staircase lead
ing from the fourth floor will sooE be
greatly improved. Bslustrades will be
put up, the passages better lighted, and
the woodwo ork repainted.
BY order Of the Governor new
sight-seers' platform, twice as large as
the old one, has been built on the roof
Of the Capitol.
The sentence Of Joseph Harmon,
who was convicted at the July term Of
the Scott County Court and sentenced
to twelve months Imprisonment in
Jail, has been commuted to six months

THE HONE BOYS WIS AGAIN.
The DanviiIes Lose Another Game
WIN the RsehmOnds.

The game Of ball at Richmond Park
yesterday afternoon between the Rich
mond and Danville Clubs WAS one Of
the finest exhibitions Of ball-playing
given here this season, and resulted in
another hotly contested and well-earned
victory for the homo boys. In the
second and third innings our boys bat
ted Houseman freely, and with the as
sistance Of . few loose plays on the
part Of their opponents, made three
runs. After this he braced up, and
while several more hits were made of
him, they were so scattering as not to
yield any runs. Knox, the Rich
monds' new pitcher, has good speed,
but is a little wild. He will, no
doubt, do better with little more
practice. The Danvilles were unable
to catch on to him except for six scat
terirg hits. which, together with the
home teams errors, only yielded two
runs. The visitors had the last chance
at the bat, and indications at one time
were that they would either tie the game
or win it, but Crostic came to the res
cue, made nice capture off ball batted
by Strouthers, thus putting the third
man out and giving the home boys the
victory. The contest was well played
by all hands on both sides. The bat
ting Of Crostic, Strstton, and Fignor,
and the double and triple plays re.
corded in the score. were the most bril-
liant plays of the evening.
The attendance upon all the games here
this season has been small, and unless
there is an improvement in it Mr.. Bo-
schen will be forced to draw out Of the
League, as he has had to take money out
of his own pocket to defray the expenses
of tho Club. Lovers Of the national
game should render all the assistance
they can by way Of liberal attendance,
and thus encourage Mr.. Boschen, who
is not only the father of baseball in
Richmond, but who has done more for
the success of the game than almost any
other man in the South. He has fine
material in his present Club, and, with
the financial support which he justly
deserves, he will soon have team which
will be fully able to cope with any with
which they may meet.
Appended is the score Of yesterdays
game.

by Hon. V. Walden.
Rev. J. r. Moifett delivered an Illus.

which produced profound impression.
Professor II. II. Harris spoke sensibly
on this great theme.
Sermons were preached by Rev. Drs.
T. s. Dunaway, j. B. Taylor, W. T..

and DIR. Taylor raised q liberal sum for

B. A. Hancock, moderator Of the Mid

The meetings were good throughout,
and the hospitality Of the West Point
people, under the lead of Il. p. Bagby,
ESQ.,, editor Of the Star, chairman Of
the committee on hospitalities, was all
that could be desired.
There were as many as two hundred
Of the citizens of Richmond at the

general impression seemed to be that
the old Dover Association is renewing
