Senator Sherman gave his colored visitor,
some excellent advice last evening. He told
them that the way to make themselves respected
was 70 90 steadily about their business, acquire
education and property, and, when they felt
that they had been wronged, resort to the
lav instead of 10 violence to right themselves,
The attempt 10 improve their condition By re-
sentins all injuries by mob force he condemned
a. bed in itself, and inevitably improbable,
and the interference of the federal govern
ment in purely local Affairs as unconstitutional,

to follow is that which the respectable white
citizen follows

Acable dispatch yesterday announced the
upsrovth of q new phase Of the "drop-a-nickel-
in-the-slot' mania in London, where a gaslight
company proposes to furnish illuminating gas
to the poor at the rate of six hours light from
single burner for one penny. That is cheap
gas, and no mistake, measured by the range Of
prices on this side Of the ocean. An ordinary
single burner viii consume about six cubic feet
OF gas In an hour. In six hours thirty-six feet
VIII be burned, and, where this sells for an Eng
bah penny, the total cost Of thousand feet of
gas would fall below nfty-six cents Of our
money, or considerably less than one-haH the
net price Of the same commodity furnished to
tie citizens Of Washington, and a little moro
than quarter of what is charged in George
towni Here Is an interesting comparison for
Congress to study.
But what We want in Washington Is not 70
much cheaper gas as better gas.

The name Of Oliver Ditson. the veteran
music publisher, who has just died, has been
familiar as a household word" for more than
half a century. He was a genial, kind hearted
man and always ready to respond to any de-
mand upon him by his friends. story used
to be told how he once came to grief in this
way by undertaking to say grace at the table of
. country friend, when, after struggling
through the body Of the prayer with considers

1t will interest a good many cities in the
United States to learn that the Missouri SUI
preme court has decided against the right of
the city of st. Louis to fix the rates for tele-
phone service bya company chartered by the
state. There is, undoubtedly, a sound enough
principle Of law behind this; but the rule be-
comes practically dead letter if the city sees
1T to resort to roundabout instead of direct
methods TO enforce its. control There are
privileges which the municipal authorities
alone can gran. or deny, in the exercise simply
Of their inherent police powers; and the denial
Of these privileges until the company had re-
duced its schedule Of charges to reasonable
figures and entered into some form of binding
contract to maintain this schedule, could hardly
fail to produce the desired result,

In view of the breakdown Of the Panama
Canal company, and the temptation to France
to push the enterprise in the interest of the
numerous investors among its people, the &C.
easion is considered timely for an indirect
warning to France not to NEEDLE officially in
the project. The action of the Senate on
Senator Edmunds' resolution concerning the
canal may be expected to furnish this warning.
France is to be held to her pledge Of non-in-
PREVENTION involved in N. Outrey's note to our
government, while the course Of the republic
in respect to the canal was undetermined, in
which the admission was made that the Panama
Canal company was and must remain simply .

The recent debate in the House on the SUBJ
ject of civil-service reform suggests that the
incoming President will have better supportfor
his sound views in respect to the civil service
from his party in the Legislative branch of gov
eminent than was given to the retiring Presi-
dent by his party. The attacks upon the merit
system and advocacy Of the spoils system came
OILY from the democrats in that discussion.
With the republican Congressman in harmony
with his views the next President may be ex-
pected 10 accomplish much in the removal of
the subordinate Offices from the category of
political spoils in causing such Offices to be Sc
cured and held solely through merit and eff
