Although there is much suffering among the
London strikers, their spirit seems to be still
strong. paltry siIpence an hour for a regu-
lar days work is all the dockmen are asking,
and it is scarcely wonderful that the mass of
the people have sided with them. II the strike
extends. as now seems probable through all
the amalgamated trades London will find her
self cut of from many of the comforts and
necessaries Of life, and some sort of terms will
have to be made with the strikers, and that
speedily, as a measure of public protection.

The opponents of capital punishment claim
that hanging does not lessen the crime of muir
der. This Is rank nonsense. Certainly that op
Grafton prevents tho fellow that is hanged from
killing any more people; and that is a good deal
gained toward the protection of society. So
would the hanging Ofburslars tend to lessen the
crime OF housebreaking,-both by reducing the
number Of that class of criminals and by de-
terring others from entering into the business
as means Of gaining q livelihood And the
Latter crime must sooner or later be made
capital ofense. When a man enters a house
for the purpose OF committing robbery
he goes prepared and determined TO commit
murder if necessary to carry out his purpose
or 10 escape detection This is the history and
nature of the crime everywhere, and it is high
time the lawmakers Of the country should
awaken to the fact and give to the community

The action Of Postmaster Ross in placing
boxes in various parts of the city for the recep-
ton Of newspapers and large parcels intended
for transmission by mail Is attracting favorable
attention elsewhere, as it deserves, and il is
likely that the plan will be adopted in most of
the large cities. This is as it should be. The
accommodation thus afforded to the public ia
very great, and it is appreciated at its full
value. But the good work should not be per-
United to stop there. Some measures ought
to be provided at the same time, if possible, for
to- relief Of the letter Carriers, who will be
mos severely taxed than ever by reason of this
Increased service. At present their lot is little
better than that Of pack horses. Even under
existing conditions IT is no uncommon thing TO
seeshem weighted down with larger loads than
man ought to be obliged to carry for any con-
siderable distance, and as facilities for mailing
bulky and heavy articles are increased their bur-
dens will be increased accordingly. No class
OF public servants better deserves eonsidera-
ton than the mail carriers. Their duties are
nnceasing and exacting. and are discharged
with rare fidelity and intelligence, as a rule.
Their lot ought therefore to be made easier.
possible, rather than harder than it now is.

THE FIVE YEARS. GUARANTEES
Can Be Required In Case OF Work Done
for the w. q G. r. r. Company.

In all work done by contractors for the Dis
trict, guarantee 10 required from the con-
tractor to keep the work in repair for Eve
years. A peculiar case came up recently. The
Washington and Georgetown railroad had some
work TO do on Pennsylvania avenue between
18th and 18th streets, which was done by
the District, and when the bill was pre-
sented for the work done, the railroad company
requested TO be informed Of the length Of time
Tor which the work was guaranteed II
will be remembered, as stated in
THE STAR at the time, that Captain symons
was in doubt whether the contractor could be
required to guarantee the work or not, as IL was
road company. He recommended, therefore,
that an opinion of the attorney for the District
On the subject be asked for.
OPINION OF ATTORNEY RIDDLE.
Today the opinion was rendered II Is as
follows: This question in some form was be-
fore me once before. My recollection is that
In that instance the work was so clearly not
new work that I held it not within the
law. II seems to me that the present
work though repair Is a new surface, a rails
ing OF the face Of the street and though
awarded under the five year contract think il
Is fairly included in the term other new
work OF paragraph Q, section s, Of the act of
June IL, 1873.
THE work is done under a contract with the
District though at the instance, suppose, of
the railroad company, still the District is di-
rectly interested in having the work kept in
repair, and till better advised shall hold the
entire work on the avenue is new work under
the 9th paragraph, section above.
This between the District and the con-
tractor is the holding. l do not think that
any question Of this kind arises between the
contractor and the railroad company. The
company should pay the whole cost
TO him. The District will reserve the percent
age on the whole work, including that done for
the railroad company"

WAS LIEUT.. BOTELER DRUNK?

The principal talk among the police all over
the city today Il the charge Of drunkenness re-
Gently brought against Lieut. Boteler Of the
NTH precinct Just who preferred the charges
IL not known. II was at first thought that the
charges came from ex-Iieutenant Arnold.
Lieut. Boteler was one Of the witnesses who
sustained Major Walker in the controversy be-
tween Lieut.. Arnold and Major Walker, which
resulted in the retirement Of both Of these on
GERS from the force some years ago. But Lieut.
Arnold informed STAR reporter this morning
that be knew nothing of it.
Maj. Moore has, upon the order Of the Com
nissioners, investigated the matter, and will,
Lieut. Boteler on the charge of drunkenness.
The following letter was received from Lieut..
Boteler by Maj. Moore yesterday.
s"Having seen in the evening papers, to my
utter surprise, that charges had been preferred
against me by some persons for intoxication on
the 18th ultimo, which charge most emphat-
ically deny, and having been q member of
the metropolitan police for nearly twenty-three
years, during which time, to my knowledge,
no complaint has ever been made against me
for any violation Of the rules Of the department
or conduct unbecoming q membef of the force.
would, therefore, ask If after an investigation
you should find 1t necessary to prefer charges
that be given o chance to defend myself"
This trial which will shortly come of will be
the only one since the famous Arnold trial sew
eral years ago. Lieut.. Boteler has always
borne good reputation, and the charges are a
surprise to all Of his friends who never knew
he drank.

ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE.
The Society Holds its Annual Reunion
at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Sept 25.-The twenty-second
annual reunion Of the society OF the army OF
the Tennessee began its meeting this morning.
The Burnet house, which is the headquarters
for the society, is gay with flags and
bunting and resonant with military music,
while the hearty greetings Of comrades who
have been long separated, make inter-
estins tableau1 throughout =, the halls
sDd CORRIDOR Ss Known Col in L. the .rD dayton
General Sherman's faithful staff officer, and
who has been the secretary Of the society since
its organization, attended to registering names
and receiving dues Promptly at 10 o'clock
the members formed in line and with Generals
Sherman, Howard and Dodge at the head,
marched to College hall, two squares distant,
where the business meeting was held.
GEN. sHERMANs REMARKS.
Gen. Sherman on taking the chair made no
formal speech, but pleasantly congratulated the
members upon SO large an assembly Of men
looking down into their faces he could almost
recognize every member Of the society
who had once been members of the
Army Of the Tennessee. He then
proceeded to business. Chicago was unani-
mously selected as the place for the next re-
of the society. 1t was agreed that the meeting
should be held coincident with the unwilling OF
the Grant monument in that city, the ceremo-
MES of which are to be under the
auspices Of the society. Gen.. An:
drew Hickenlooper OF Cincinnati
was unanimously chosen as orator Of the occa-
sion on behalf of the society of the Army Of
the Tennessee. The report Of the treasurer,
Gen. NJ. Force, was received and approved
after member had ventured to an intimation
from Gen. Force that he would not be a candi-
date for reelection.
THE LOGAN STATUE FUND.
A long list was read OF contributors to the
amount of 50 each to the fund for the erection
Of an equestrian statue of General John A.
Logan, at Washington, d. @. A
number of inquiries were made con-
corning the manner Of subscribing indicating
general desire among the members to send
contributions. General Sherman recommended
that they be sent to General Raum at Wash
ington DC.
1t was voted to retain the permanent head
quarters at Cincinnati, but the annual reunions
may be held in various places. Col. d. W. G.
Loudon entertained the leaders with paper
on the citizen soldier, which was devoted
to showing how four years of
hardship had made better citizens of
the men who fought for their country. At the
close of the routine business calls were made
upon Gen. Howard and others for remarks to
fill up the time until the time for the reception
at the chamber of commerce

AN ORNAMENTAL CIRCLE.
Proposed to be Located at the Intersec.
ton of Michigan and Montana Avenues.

The authorities of the Catholic university
some time ago, as stated in The STAR, called
upon Capt. Symons and expressed their desire
to have circle at the intersection of Michigan
avenue, Hardwood road, Lincoln road and Mon
tana avenue. Capt. Symons has had a plan of the
circle prepared. In order to carry out this
plan and make this handsome and attractive
center of travel, the captain says, in his recon-
mendation to the Commissioners, that it will
be Necessary to ask the authorities of the Sol
DIETS Home to donate a small amount of
land, about one-ffth of an acre to be
thrown into the road and circle. and suggests
that the Commissioners write letter to Gen.
Schofeld, president of the board of commits
sioners of the Soldiers Home, asking that the
authorities of the home consen. to the course
laid down on the plat forwarded.

THE CASE OF MRS. ROWLAND.
A New Warrant Made Out Charging
EmbeZzlement of Various Sums.

Assistant District Attorney Armes, who has
been off on his vacation, returned to the Police
Court today to take charge of the prosecution
Of the case of Mrs. Annie Rowland, late matron
Of DR.. Hammonds sanitarium, against whom
warrant charging the embezzlement Of go has
been pending.
Assistant District Attorney Mullowney, who
investigated the charge yesterday, did not think
that the government could maintain the charge,
and consequently he declined to present the
case to the court.
DR.. Hammond was at the Police Court this
morning and he was examined by Mr.. Armes.
As the result Of the latter's investigation he
ordered the issuance of another warrant,
charging Mrs. Rowland with embezzlement.
The new warrant was made out by Warrant
Clerk Harper. Itcontained four counts. charg-
ing the embezzlement of S55 July Z, ESQ July
II, $50 July q and ESQ September Is.
The warrant had not been sworn to at 8
o'clock, although the case was set for trial at
that hour.
