IN VERY readable article In the October
number Of the atlantic Monthly on race
prejudices Mr.. n. s. Shsler says:
'Ife community is to rise in the scale Of
existence il must have high degree of So
cial unity. Every permenent hatred, even
between individuals, is hindrance to the
process of advance. When the hatred is be-
tween classes We may have the condl-
tons Of an Ireland, where people Of
great natural capacities have been kept for
centuries in retard by the antagonisms
which have existed between the upper and
lower classes OF that unhappy land"
Every word Of this is as true as gospel
and the people interested in the welfare of
any community would consult not only the
interest of that community, but necessarily
their own individual interest, by discounte.
nancing every man who attempts to incite
snd foster prtjudices and antagonisms be.
tween the different classes of that commu-
city.

ALEX ANDRIA.
MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20.

ALL THE delegates to the democratic
congressional convention Of this district
except in one county have now been
elected, and it is hoped by every
disinterested democrat that when they
assemble at Culpeper Court House next
Thursday they may nominate candidate
at once, and that if it be apparent they can
not do 90 by two thirds they will, as Is
their light, proceed Immediately to do so
by majority vote. The proceedings OF the
two sessions of the former convention made
the right thinking democrats Of the district
tired, and they want the new convention to
discharge the office for which it was elected
with all proper dispatch. Every member of
the party in the district has now had two
opportunities for expressing his preference
for the candidate, and as they elected the
delegates to the convention in their respec-
tive districts by simple rlaori:ies, they can
not as good and true members of their par
ty, find fault with those delegates if the
latter adopt the came rule in the nomina-
ton of the candidate, especially if it be plain
that the wishes Of the majority OF the con-
vention can be gratiGed in no other way.

The news fIom Washington is that
the Morrison tariff bill is TO be forced to
vote. The revenue reformers in Con-
gress, especially those from the West.
insist that they should not be sent home
TO their constituents without having n
chance to record themselves on the tar
iii question. There is also a good deal
OF outside pressure. The meeting of
textile workers in Philadelphia was not
meaningless. 1t was intended to show
Democratic Congressman that the peo-
pie are interested in securing lower tar
III taxes, and that they cannot shirk
their duty in this respect Mr.. Carlisle's s
committee Of chairmen are working very
hard TO select the business which shall
be called up during the remainder of
the session, and while they experience
much difficulty in making choice, the
tariff bill is the one measure on which
they all unite. 1t seems to be certain.
at all events, that the Morrison bill will
be called up and debated, although a
vote may be postponed until the next
session. The large appropriation bills
are still in the way, and good deal of
careful work looking to delay appears
to have been done by somebody.

From our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. d. c., June I, 's6.
Mr.. EDITOR: The event so anxiously
looked for and discussed with so much
ingenuity by the gossips of the nation.
has taken place, and the title of the
first lady of the land" has formally
passed flom the sister to the wife of the
President. 1t is known that in many OF
the foreign countries it is customary on
the celebration of any great event, for
the king, prince or potentate to manifest
grace and clemency by restoring to lib
erty prisoners who have suffered long
confinement. Although President Cleve-
land has as a rule been slow to interfere
with the operation of the law, and the
judgment of courts, he performed an
act of clemency upon his wedding day,
in granting a full and unconditional
pardon to b. f. Bigelow, who, as re-
ceiving teller of the National Bank of
the Republic, in this city, was convicted
of cmbezzling the funds of the bank.
and sentenced to serve a term in prison
for FIVE years. The President had care
fully examined the papers in the case
several days before, and after deciding
to grant the application the papers were
retained upon his desk in order that the
act of pardoning might be consummated
upon his wedding day. There has
scarcely been a topic of conversation
during the week, excepting the White
House wedding, and even now, that
several days have passed, and the happy
couple are spending their honeymoon
at point distant frCm this city, the in
terest seems TO have scarcely abated.
Those who were present pronounce the
affair success in every respect. The
programme which had been previously
arranged, was carried out in all of lis
details. The decorations of the White
House we're of an elaborate character,
and 1t is said that the building never
presented handsOmer appearance.
Aside from the Presidents wedding
which has so eclipsed all other events
the week, which commenced with
Decoration Day, has been an interesting
one. Although thousands took advan.
tage of the holiday fora days outing,
and all of the resorts along the river and
various railroads In the vicinity of the
city were occupied by excursion parties,
s'ill the effect was scarcely noticeable at
the attendance upon the memorial ex.
ereises In the soldiers cemeteries. The
various statues throughout the city were

earlanded with flowers by committee
of the G.. a. r.. and the usual solemn
and impressive ceremonies were enacted
at Arlington and the other cemeteries.
Congress has been busy, the Senate
in the discussion of the Canadian fish
cries trouble, the taxation of railroad
land grants, the Chinese Indemnity bill,
and other important measures, besides
passing unanimously a bill to prevent
the acquisition of real property by aliens,
and to prohibit corporations, excepting
railroads, canal and turnpike companies
from owning more than five thousand
acres of land, undera penalty of forfeit
ure to the government.
The anti-oleomargarine bill which has
occupied so much of the time of the
House during the past two or three
weeks, was passed on Thursday by a
very handsome majority, and il now re-
mains to be seen as to what disposition
will be made of it in the Senate.
Although the general impression pre-
walls that the present Congress has been
idle and that much of its time has been
spent in u-eless talk, the records show
that greater amount of work has been
done for the same length of time than
during any former Congress. 1t is true
that large proportion of the great
number of bills that have passed have
been of private nature, still the num-
Der of general bills has been greater
than ever before. The records also re-
veal the fact that the number of reports
from the committees in both Houses are
far in excess of any previous session.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
President has vetoed several private
pension bills the warning has been un-
needed, and claims of this nature con-
tinue to be pushed through without
consideration, and each House appears
to be striving to outdo the other in the
pension business. II.

SOME three months ago our borough
council decided to allow our reporter to
attend their meetings to report proceed
ings, the Secretary of the board having
positively refused to give the press a re-
port. In almost every other borough it
is customary for the Council to publish
their "doings" in the local papers, and
pay for it, so that the people may know
from month to month what moneys are
expended and what measures are adopt
ed for the health, protection and i'm
provement of their respective towns.
We offered, for the benefit of our read
ers, to do this work free of charge il
they would furnish the report, as above
stated, the Secretary refused to give us
report. We then made arrangements
for the admission of reporter, and for
two months he was permitted to attend
and make his report of the proceedings.
When he appeared to report the pro-
ceedings at last Monday evenings meet
ing, the Council adjourned from the
room usually used for their meetings,
and held ten minutes secret session in
. side room, where they resolved, on
motion of T. A. Snyder, that the
"COuncil did not need a reporter" and
delegated Chief Burgess GraYer to con-
yey the order to our reporter. Now, as
We understand. public officers are pub
lie servants, and the people haye a right
10 know what they do In regard 10 the
government of the town and matters
pertaining to their interests. But II
appears that our Council have decided
that they are the masters of the people,
that is, have reversed the usual order OF
things, and decided that-it is none OF
the peoples business what they do,
hence, the expulsion Of our reporter.
OF course our learned friend, T. A.
Snyder, with and by the advice Of the
gentlemen who "are the power behind
the throne" duly considered the con-
sequences OF his motion 10 "muZzle the
