DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

VALIDITY OF ALLEY COMBINATIONS SINCE '71S
An interesting question has arisen as to the
validity OF alley condemnatons since 1871, the
outcome Of which is OF great importance to the
District The old law relating to alley subdi-
visions provides that upon the filing of a plot
&c, the mayor shall make application to the
marshal. DC. The point raised is that the
Commissioners are not the legal successors of
the mayor. 1t is understood that there have
been severa. cases In which one of the justices
OF the Supreme Court of the District has held
that such alley assessments are void In view
OF this case and some decisions of the General
Term involving the same principle Assistant
Attorney Thomas has advised the Commits
sioners that there is enough in the point to
make it doubtful whether they can legally in
augurate proceedings for the condemnation
of alleys. He suggests that in view of the I'M
certain condition of the law on the subject that
. bill be prepared on the plan Of the old law.
II the Commissioners think well OF its machin-
cry, to be presented to Congress for its enact
ment or that a section covering the point be
engraftsd on the pending bill with reference
to the condemnation of land for sewers &c,
If the bill is not too far along on the calen-
dar. He says that such a bill should contain a
clause validating all condemnations heretofore
made by the Commissioners under the ordi-
nance of the old corporation referred to- The
commissioners will instruct the attorney to
frame a law or bill in accordance with the
present law. as action under that law seems to
give satisfaction.

The board Of survey, consisting of Capt
Theodore F. Kane, equipment officer of the
Brooklyn navy yard, and Naval Constructors
William L. Mintoyue and W. L Caps, whose
duty it was to inspect the cruiser Yorktown,
have begun their examination. The starboard
side has been pretty thoroughly scraped and
the pits and other defects have been indicated
by chalk marks. The pits, 1t lis thought. are
due to galvanic action. There is an irregular
patch OF them about IL feet square on the star
board side and they are about three-sixteenths
of an inch i'll depth. Rust and corrosion are
chiefly noticeable on the keel plates and are
caused probably by the absence of an anti
corrosive covering.

Russhi's Modest Start.

. John Russhi began his career as a wait
er ten years ago in Delmonico's. In a
year he managed to a $500. Among
the guests he was accustomed to wait
upon was Russell Sage. One day after
Mr.. Sage had finished al unusually
hearty meal he became quite talkstive.
Russhi mentioned that he had saved
$500, and timidly asked if MI. Sage
could suggest a good way to invest it.
The fnancier thought a while, and
taking a small piece of paper from his
pocket wrote the name of a certain stock
upon 1t. Russhi's $500 o grew to
$1,000, and so on. He still works as a
waiter, and it is safe to say that none Of
the people who order him about is
aware that'he possesses so much money.

Plaster Houses.

An innovation in building has been
suggested which, although it can hard
ly yet be said to have been fairly tested,
seems to possess excellent points. The
framework of a house is erected in the
ordinary way, and for large buildings
iron or steel may be used. On the
studding of this framework a metal
lathing is nailed, which cover every.
thing except the doors and windows.
The meshes of the lath are diamond
shaped and the surfaces are turned at
an angle. The lath is first coated with
a mixture of mortar and cement, after
ward is added an inch of cement
which is finished and lined in imitation
of any kind Of stone. The cost is said
to be but little in excess of the ordinary
methods. New YC-k Commercial Ad-
yertiSer.

Judge Easkell's Theory.
From the Greenville News.

Judge A. C. Haskell tried to defeat
Tillman and the Tillman men beat
him in the Democratic party.
He tried to organize a bolt among
the anti-Tillman men and he was out
voted and beaten in two conferences.
He called a meeting to be com
posed of men who he thought
would act with him and his call
gathered 1913 men, representing
twenty of thirty-fve counties.
Seven-tenths of the Democrats OF
the State favored Tillman. OF the
remaining thre -tenths th~ree-fourths
favored standil g by the nominations.
Judge HaskeH's theory evidently is
that he and his little faction contain
all the wisdom, courage and patlro-
tism there is in South Carolina; that
the remainder of the white popula-
ton is unworthy of confidence and
cannot be entrusted with the keeping
of the State. .
He proposes to ssum that work
with a small fraction Of the white
men of the State-including few who
have heretofore been prominent IN
peace or war-and the mass OF the
black vote. .
A vote for Haskell is a vote OF
want of confidence in the ability OF
the white race to govern itself and
the State. It is a vote to appeal
from the white man as a failure to
the blac' 7ote for redress OF grlev-
ances and relief from dangers not
yet present.
A vote for Haskell is a vote to
establish in South Carolina-at the
best-the rule of a few whites des'
politically controlling us with the
massed black vote. It is a vote OF
endorsement of a man who has SO
much confidence in the superiority OF
his own wisdom over that of all his
other fellow citizens that he despises
authorities, repudiates the action OF
maiorities and recklessly stirs wrath,
doubt, fear and confusion when the
great body of the people had fought
their fight and were looking Tor
peace and rest and the opportunity
to do business and restore normal
conditions.
Let every voter be a worker until
aas ss ! thstt-the will OF
the Whlt4 -
so thoro y executed that even
Judge Haskell must submit.

successful would be repudiated by
the State. If for the sake of per,
sonal dislike to leaders, the Independ-
ents ruin the party which is the White
Mans party, and the party of con,
seryatiye and intelligent colored pee
pie of the State, they will be con
demned by all the people of the State;
they will be condemned by all the
people of South Carolina as traitors,
not only to their own interests but to
the interests of the entire State.
'This movement is leading back to
the condition of affairs from which
they were rescued in 1876, and if
they get back to it the people of the
State will not help them out of it.
In South Carolina it is not a matter
of local issues or personal preference;
ii as a matter of life and death.
"There is only one way by which
we can hope to maintain honest gov
ernment, and every true citizen is
bound to adhere to that, whatever
his opinions of persons or local
questions; and the way is to obey the
voice of the majority of the Demo
cratic party. If he does not he is a
deserter, and shold be so treated

Haskell Then and Now.

In 1887 Judge A. c. Haskell and
other leading men of the State were
called on for their opinions regarding

Once more the mischevious light came
into Rachel's bright blue eyes.

Fire from Steam Pipes.

In an article on the danger of fire
from steam pipes it is said that after
wood has remained a long time in con,
tact with steam, hot water or hot air
pipes the surface becomes carbonized,
and during warn weather the charcoal
absorbs moisture; when again heated
the moisture is driven off, leaving a
vacuum into which the fresh air cur,
rent, circulating around the pipes, rap
idly penetrates and imparts it's oxygen

ing and eventually combustion. Der
