LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

IAN Open letter. to Railway Mail Clerks.
lust wonder il the striking weight of Master
Humphreys Clock is in as nearly perfect order
as is its alarm. If not would say to the rail
way mail clerk. 'sYou owe it to the country as
well as to yourself to see that it be So" Last
April Mr. Villas clearly demonstrated 20 the
country the absolute necessity Of retaining the
Republican clerk in Office for the time being If
he could have handled the mail, however in
differently, with his. ward hummer and party
heller, that widely promulgated order that pre-
teEdeo TO promise you immunity from dismissal
would never have seen the light of day.
He knew he would be called to account by the
people If you anticipated the ''clean sweep" and
left the service in body and at once He dared
not risk the chaos and confusion that would
have followed. The country could have better
spared Congress then than you. So, after
months deliberaticn he decided to lull you into
security by an adroit bit Of cajolery which,
when applied. had the desired effect To an
honest upright man it seemed sufficient guar
anty that he would not be dismissed unless he
deserved to be, and conscious of his own ability
and integrity, enjoyed short season of deep
serenity of mind. Occasionally name was
stricken from the list; at first the reasons given
seemed sufficient, but when an efficient clerk is
dismissed solely because he is a Republican
THAT is the English for offensive PARTISAN, it
is an obtuse man who longer embraces the syren,
hope Your new superintendent goes into Office
with an alleged grievance against he Republican
party. He was forced to resign because of his
offensive Democracy"
Do you suppose he will rest while man of you
remains in the service who secured his place
prior TO 1882 Not he. He handles your records
out and out falsify them. his .'sore head will
naturally produce the hallucination that you are
a bad lot, dishonest, incompetent and ''of-
fensive"
One by one as your places can be indifferently
supplied by the reform" clerk below, the super
intendent will be sure to find something in your
record that will warrant his recommending your
removal. Before the close of this administers
ton every scalp in the Fifth division will be
dangling from his belt, and no Comanche chief
ever wore his trophies so proudly as will he, I'M
less you combine to defeat his intention and to
protect your own interests.
IL you have not already organized for this pur-
pose, do so at once. You who have spent years
OF honest labor in building up the service need
have no scruplos in demanding that the spirit of
Office be respected by at least one member of his
Cabinet Happily. the public interest and your
own do not conflict indeed the reverse is true;
the public have nothing to gain and great deal
to lose by your dismissal. Therefore do not per-
NIT the removal of another acknowledged
efficient clerk, on trumped-up charges, without
such protest as shall prove to the people that
your interests and theirs are identical

The Creditors of the Ritzinpers

The trustees in behalf of the Ritzinger deposit
tors met last night in the Franklin Fire Insur-
ance Companys Office, and after an hours talk
agreed to call general meeting of those whom
they represent early next week. It will then be
decided whether or not to pursue further the
plan of settlement they have in charge. The
trustees are satisfied with Assignee Yandes's re-
port and conduct of the business. 1t is possible
the present plan will be modified by having
two creditors appointed to assist Mr.. Yandes in
an advisory capacity. 1t is understood that
that gentleman favors such an arrangement

A MOB AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Five Thousand People Swoop Down Upon the
President Without an Invitation.

Five Thousand People Swoop Down Upon the
President Without an Invitation.
Washington Special
The New York element lately imported into
official society is alleged to be somewhat aghast
at the prevailing notions of what constitutes an
invitation in Washington. At the Presidents
reception last week no invitations were issued
except the printed notice In the papers that the
President would receive the army and navy off
GERS to meet Congress, the Supreme Court and
the diplomatic corps. 1t was also said that Off
GERS holding their appointments directly from
the President would be welcome, but both the
President and Miss Cleveland carefully refraned
from giving any outside invitations. Their sur
prise, therefore, may be imagined when the
doors were opened, and mob of fashionable
people entered. who swarmed all over the White
House, and seemed to consider themselves in
the light of invited guests. This bold maneuver,
of course. put the President and his sister COM
pletely hors de combat-they had to be polite,
and they were polite-but wide-eyed amazement
was pictured on their countenances when the
crowd of 5000 persons began passing before
them. Secretary Whitney, however, could have
enlightened them somewhat on his experience
the night before. Mrs. Whitney and himself
issued cards for the evening before from to u.
When IL o'clock came and it was time to go home,
a contingent of lightheeled and lighter headed
young gentlemen asked the privilege of taking
up the rugs in the ballroom, commanding dance
music from the orchestra, and treading the
may The Secretary after moment of hest
tatlon, consented. 1t is. however, regretted that
he did not show little more backbone and had
| not then and there laid down the law of hospi-
tally of which these people seem so surprisingly
ignorant The fact is, the immense winter popu
laton of Washington look upon the official en-
tertainments as part Of the show. Nowhere in
this country can the same brilliant assembiage
of dplomates, statesmen army and navy officers
be found, and when they come together officially
most of them emblazoned with the insignia Of
their rank, it is rare sight, which the mob does
not want to miss. So bg hook or crook they got
invitations out of President Arthur, and when
President Cleveland wouldn't invite them. they
got even with him by going without an invita-
ton

KNoL1sH's OPERA. HousE--"NANoN.

RNGLIsH's OPERA 'NANoN.
Carleton's beautiful rendition of that very
pretty opera. "Nanon," was repeated last night
to a larger audience than the night before. That
it maintains it popularity needs not the saying.
The attendance and enthusiasm is evidence
enough Tho costuming, the action and the ma
terials by which the operasis transformed into a
reality as conceived by the composer,
are as near perfection as may be
had, thanks to Mr.. Carleton and his
fine taste. The opera itself is engaging through
out and replete with beautiful airs and fine
humor The singing of Messrs. Carleton. Drew,
Leumane and Greensfelder, and Misses Paullln,
Vincent and Bartlett is fitting complement to
the music, and the work of each is a power of
melody and grace 1t will we'll repay anyone to
take the trouble to attend the matinee this af-
ternoon. The engagement closes to. night with
Carletou's superb presentation of 1.-THE Mikado, "
the original score OF which is the property of Mr.
Carleton. The costumes are imported from
Japan, and all the details have been looked after
with painstaking care.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE oLIvETTE'
The large audience that attended the Grand
Opera-house last night was treated to one of the
cleverest presentations of "Olivette" ever given
in this city. Miss Louise j. Eissings concep-
ton Of Olivette is original and beautiful! Her
rendition of the crying song was more artistic
and prettier than ever before given in this city.
The CoquilIicot Of Mr. Bigelow was the funniest
of the funny, and he was repeatedly encored.
The support was strong and the performances, ms
whole, very decided success IN every particu-
lar. 1t will be repeated at this afternoons mat
ineee. The engagement concludes tonight with
''The Mascotte," and Miss Kissing as Bettina-

NOTES.
The Wilbur Opera Company will close a sue

Dan1 Sully's farce-comedy, "The Corner Gro

ing and decidedly amusing, will be seen at the
Grand the first three nights of next week, as
presented by Mr.. Sully and the original COM

made favorable impression here last season.

Chinese Costumes In the Mikado.

One of the most Objectionable features about
the opera in the eyes Of native of Japan, as
one of them said to the casual observer a day or
two ago. is that the scenery and costumes are
Chinese and not Japanese at all Now the peo-
pie of Japan are not at all fattered by being
represented upon the stage for the amusement
of the American public in the heathenish attire
of the Celestials. whom they regard as little bet
ter than savages, AMI declare that the grotesque
actions and manners which are there depicted in
supposed imitation of the Japanese is an insult
to their race. This. however. is hardly calcu-
lated to weaken public confidence in the exact
ness of the imitation, and it is no doubt due to
this exaggeraton that the artistic effect has been
heightened and the opera made so successful.

growls.
