COMMISSIONER WEBB AND THE
LEAGUE,

lhc National Hepublican League OF
this city passed resolution at meet
ing on the 14th instant which pur.
ported to be representative of the sen:
timent of the league with reference
10 the confirmation of Mr.. Webb as
Commissioner. In that resolution the
Senate was requested not to confirm
Mr. Webb. The resolution was pub
lished. and the conclusion is natural
that il was what it purported to be,
namely, representative of1the sentiment
ofpthe league,
We have 1t, however, ON the authority
ofa prominent member, that this is not
true, The resolution was presented
after many members had gone, home,
having been assured that there would
be no action taken in the Webb matter.
With these members absent the malcon-
tents and intriguers had it their own
way, and they railroaded the resolution
through without much opposition.
Out Of membership of over two
hundred only fifteen We're present when
the resolution was adopted.
The resolution Is the result of bad
faith, and is Misrepresentation. This.
however, is not of serious consideration
with the malcontents, for Mr.. Webb is
member of the league, in good stand
ing, and the natural inference would be
that support, and not opposition, would
be. given him by his comrades and fell
low-members.
The envious and jealous, however,
are always present, and, rather than lose
chance'of their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
they would imperil the aim and OBJ
jects, the very life itself, of their organ
ization.
Whether the Senate does or does not
confirm Mr. Webb will in no wise af-
feet his standing in the District and
the mean and unmanly personal attacks
made upon him will in the end rebound
TO his credit, for the enmity OF some
men is compliment which by no pos
sibility could be drawn from their
fripndsliD

An imperial firman has, II is reported,
been granted for the construction of a line
of tramways in Damascus. Nor is this
concession to western civilization the only
sign that the far-famed city of Damascus is
ON the highroad to becoming modernized
Gas also is to be introduced into the city
and the inhabitants are eagerly awaiting
the promised innovations, which will, they
believe, not only add to their own comfort,
but will materially increase the value of
property within the city boundaries. The
latest estimate OF the population of Damas-
Gus places it at l500OO.-LLondon Times,

they cannot hold them.
