ACTIVITY IN MINING SHARKS.
One OF the notable incidents In the specu-
lRtive movement which is in full blast at
present Is marked revival OF attention
to the shares of mining concerns. This
class OF stocks has lain practically dor
mant for some five years, and the traneac-
lions In them on the New York Consoll-
dated exchange have dwindled down to
very slender proportions. A time
when the price Of silver is extremely low,

deed, seem that manipulation Is at the
bottom Of the matter, and any one who
invests during the present excite

A short time ago reports were cir.

followed In due time by reports that mat.

sented, that large ore bodies have been
discovered, and so on. No doubt The
movement has also received some en-

The JeGerson Monument.

1t looks as If the monument over the
grave Of Thomas Jefferson at Monticello,
Va, would have to be put in glass case
to keep 1t out of the reach of vandals, and
even then they would probably smash the
glass case. The original stone, which was
an exact copy Of the diagram left by the
great original Democrat, and which was
erected years ago, was destroyed by relic
hunters by 1851, and a new stone was
erected. But during the war Piedmont
Virginia, as this section Is called by its in-
habitants, was overrun by soldiers Of both
armies, and when Lee surrendered only a
sandstone stump marked the restng-place
of Jefferson. Congress managed to pass
bill for restoration in 1873, and In 1885
Secretary Of State Bayard perfected the
Governments title to the cemetery and
erected an eighteen-foot shaft OF granite
1t is surrounded by iron rallings, close
enough together to keep men Of ordinary
thickness from squeezing through, but the
small boys of the neighborhood reap har-
vest Of nickels by chipping off fragments
of granite for visitors, who buy them. Pos
sibly the State Department might save the
monument from total destruction by open
Ing granite yard close by and supplying

WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 0, 1886.
THE CITIZENS MEETING.

The meeting at Masonic Temple last
evening for the purpose of organizing
Citizens Association or Committee
was not in all respects the success that
IT should have been, at least in the sense
of giving entire satisfaction TO the sew
eral sections of the city interested in
The movement.
The people of South Washington and
East Washington very properly desire
their prorortionatc representation on
the committee, and this they insist is
not accorded them on the committee as
selected. East Washington is un-
willing to put up with five men out Of
a hundred and South Washington
still less reconclod to having only
three; and they are not to be blamed
for their complaints.
The projected organization, how.
ever, II made up in the rightwa could
be of great service to the city, and
ought to be carried ont in good faith to
all. Therefore, it is to be hoped that
when the committee S report comes to
be heard next Wednesday night, steps
will be taken to throw oil on the
troubled waters, which can only be
done by giving the complainants in the
case fair show on the committee.
Ii were better If the association were
of unlimited membership, open to all
who desire to unite with 1t on pay
ment of dues sufficient to cover its
necessary expenses, with permanent
headquarters for lis meetings. This
was the plan originally suggested by
THE CRITIC. Then let the association
appoint an executive committee of
hundred, or fifty, or whatever number
might be agreed on to look after the
immediate interests assigned to its con-
sideration. Or the several local asso-
Citations might appoint representatives
to constitute u general executive
committee for the same purpose.
In any case all sections must be given
their due representation, or the organi.
zation will tumble to pieces. That
some wise and conservative course,
calculated to produce strength and
harmony will be agreed on, we infer
from the character of the men who are
prominent in the undertaking, and
who are, doubtless, actuated by a
public.spirited desire to advance the
welfare and prosperity of the city.

A Citizens, Committee suggestion.

EDITOR CRITIC: In order to form salts
factory Citizens Association Of the District
of Columbia, organized to promote the
general welfare OF the whole District, and
in view Of the fact that certain loc ilitles
feel that their respective sections were not
properly represented on the committee Of
one hundred whose names were reported
last evening at the meeting at Masonic
Temple-in view Of this feeling would it
not be proper movement for the citizens
Of the several sections of the District to
meet In their respective localities and Sc
lect the names Of certain number OF rep
reseDtative men, and then these selected
delegates from all the sections meet to-
gether and form permanent Citizens AS
sociation9 1t seems to me that such a
course will prove satisfactory to all who
are animated by the single purpose of Or
gaDizing for the common good Of the entire
District and thus also avoid the jealouses
and confusion which will naturally result
in attempting to select proper representa-
tives from various sections OF the District
in general meeting, as was the proposed
action last evening.

One of "l.arryr Jerome,s Jokes.

"Larry" Jerome, uncle of Lady Randolph
Churchill, is great joker, though a septua-
genarian. One OF his most heartrending
Jokes was played upon an unsophIstlcated
Englishman recently, one of the kind to
whom everything American is "beastly"
and "bad form" Being fellow guest at a
''stag' dinner, Uncle Larry contrlyed to sit
next to the hypercritlcal Briton. just as
the latter was finishing his soup Uncle
Larry nudged him cautiously and privately
called HE attention TO an upper set of false
teeth which he had fished out Of his own
soup with his spoon, remarking at the same
time that the "cook must have had an acci-
dentn Larry had bought the teeth that
morning at dentists with the guarantee
that they were absolutely new aud unused,
and had slipped them surreptitionsly into
the soup plate. The gentleman from
London showed no enthusiasm for the en-.
suing courses.-[ [Pittsburs Dispatch.

THE story that Mr.. Edmunds voted
for st. John In 1884 has been revived
by correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, who says he has seen the man
who says he saw the vote cast. He
knows that 1t was the Prohibition ticket
because of its peculiar blush tint. AS be.
tween this statement and the explicit
denial of any such occurrence by Mr..
Edmunds himself, we are still disposed
to accept the Senator's version. There
is too much color. blindness abroad to
permit much credence in the other
yarn.
