public suffered: some Of them succeeded and
syndicates and corporations became richer than
ever. The Commissioners favored huge opera
lions, involving enormous expenditures, but
the people Of East Washington could not have
sewers laid where they were absolutely neces-
sary. Mr.. Dodge thought it only fair that one
Commissioner should come from east of the
capitol, but he wanted it clearly understood
that he was not a candidate for the position;
he was simply opposed to Webb. [Applause.]
MR. GEO. R.wILsoN OPPOSED COMMISSIONER WEBB
for every reason already advanced and for
several others not yet mentioned, the princi-
pal one being found in the fact that they used
the chain-gang-convict labor-in improving
the streets instead of giving employment to
honest workingmen. Things had got to such
point now that to obtain employment under
the District governmental man had to be either
a southern democrat or a criminal. III East
Washington could only be improved by con-
Wet labor then he for one did not want 1t i'm
proved. [Applause.l
THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
The resolutions were then adopted, and loud
applause and vote of thanks was rendered
Chairman Dodge, who thanked the meeting
for its courtesy and said he was surprised to
see the meekness displayed by District resi-
dents. They ought to act. Congress needed
educating as to the rights of the District; the
ignorance displayed by many of the national
Legislators was really lamentable. He referred to
the fact that the present form of local govern
ment was not intended to be permanent, but
rings" and real estate syndicates have decided
to continue it. Corporations will make and
control the Commissioners until the people be-
come determined to rule. He advocated indi-
vidual efforts with Senators and Representa-
tives. and when Congress knew more about
the District then it would not be possible to
have Commissioner like Webb.
ANOTHER CESsURE.
Mr.. Wilson offered resolution, which was
unanimously adopted, censuring the Commits
sioners for employing convict (workhouse)
labor on the streets of the city.
The meeting then adjourned.

Mr.. Gladstone Protests.

Mr.. Gladstone, in letter to the Times, says
that the papers recent article on the Hawar.
den svictions was based upon misstatements,
and he complains of the failure Of the Times to
print the subsequent explanations or to make
an apology. He requests the Times now, as an
act Of decency and justice, TO print the expla-
nations from the Liverpool Post. which, he
says, will occupy less space than the original
article. MIR. Gladstone continues Your wan.
ton intrusion on private domain. so alien tc
the honorable traditions Of the British press
has compelled me to be thus guilty of seeming
impertinence in troubling the public with my
personal affairs" MIR. Gladstone records hi,
full approval Of his sons proceedings.

Parnell Was Never Better.

From the Philadelphia Press, February 20.
1t is not true that the health of Mr.. Charles
Stewart Parnell is critically affected, and that
he is likely to suffer collapse at any time.
Mrs. Parnell, the mother of the Irish leader,
yesterday received cable message which def
nitely sets at rest the apprehension of the
friends of the Irish cause aroused by the alarm
ing news telegraphed from London about two
weeks ago On reading this new Mrs. Parnell
wrote to DIR. Kenney, his physician in Dublin
asking bin to tell her exactly how he was DIR.
kenney answered yesterday: Never better
