THE LATE SENATOR WILSON.


Senator l.. X. WILSON Of Maryland,
whose sndden death is announced, was q
gentleman of the highest character and
Of stainless honor. He possessed the
respect Of all and the love and esteem Of
those with whom he was brought into
personal contact. Whilst occupying no
very conspicuous position in the Senate
yet his speeches, when he did speak, were
forcible, and all his votes honest and
courageous.
He was elected to the Senate for his
second term by the General Assembly Of
Maryland year ago. Governor JACKSON
will appoint his successor to serve for one
year until his successor Is elected by the
General Assembly in 1899. Under law
Of Maryland the choice OF Senator VIII
SONS successor is limited to the Eastern
Shore Of the State. That law is really of
no binding force, and yet for party
reasons IT Is always observed in Maryland.
II Is said that the Governor will appoint
to the vacancy his personal friend, Mr..
RoBrHT +. BRATTAY, the President of the
Maryland Senate. Mr.. JAMES ALFRED
PIETcT of Kent County, whose father was
Senator for many years, will also proba-
bly, be q prominent candidate.

washincton's Mother.
From Nle Atlanta Journal.


II is a national shame that the remains
of George Washington's mother lie in
neglected grave.
Some years ago the ladies Of Fredericks-
burg organized Mary Washington Monu-
ment Association, which has since been
merged into national society, of which
the widow of the late Chief Justice Waite
is president. The good women who COM
pose this association are trying to raise
money enough to pay for an appropriate
monument over the grave Of the woman
whose name is dear 10 every patriotic
citizen of this country. Mr.. George w.
Childs OF Philadelphia, whose big heart
always carries his purse to the aid of
noble enterprises, has subscribed $500 TO
this fund. 1t is desired TO make the move
,ment as popular as possible, and contribu.
tions Of small amounts are solicited.
y The mania for monuments leads 70 the
selection Of somevery ordinary subjects
for memorial marble and bronze, but
surely the mother Of Washington must be
considered worthy of monumental hon.
ors. She was O woman Of strong and mo-
Bile character, and in giving to the country
the man who became its savior she won .
/ title to the everlasting gratitude Of this
people. And yet they have let her re-
mains lie for century in neglected
grave.
The erection Of an appropriate monu-
ment over them will be the performance
!, of long-delayed duty.

President Harrison is coming ON visit
to the South during the spring or summer,
and we do not doubt that he will every
where be received with great respect. The
office which he occupies is held in rever-
ence by the Southern people, and, though
they may not think Mr. Harrison exactly
the proper person to fill it, they will not
insist upon expressing their opinion in
his presence. They will entertain the
President Of the United States II he give
them opportunity to do so, and only Incl
dentally Mr.. Harrison. We must think,
however, that Mr.. Harrison will move
among these people with mixed emotions,
III they prove hospitable, as they WILL he
will feel like responding in some degree to
their courtesy, but the thought must con-
stantly run in his mind that these are the
same people that he as politician so
thoroughly distrusted, that he used all the
power of his great office to- take away
rights they have enjoyed for hundred
years. II Is likely that his hosts will be in
a more comfortable frame Of mind than
Mr.. Harrison.

The Worlds exposure Of the object and
effect of Senator Plumb's proposition to
transfer to the classified civil service the
$500 pension clerks appointed upon the
recommendation of Republican patronage
mongers, has called forth a protest from
the Civil Service Commission which will
be entered formally before the Senate
committee tomorrow.
Commissioner Roosevelt says that this
policy, If adopted, would effect repeal
Of ihe Civil Service law, for y would
aminations for years to come"
II would do more than this. It would
render eligible to immediate appointment
$500 clerks selected by the spoils system,
and Republicans almost to man. The
result of this would inevitably be to in
sure clean sweep of all the Democratic
clerks in the Departments, who won their
places, fairly upon their merits and
have held them by ability and faithful
ness.

The Nape of the Neck.

There are no more graceful curves in
womans body than those which start
from the nape of the neck. There is an
artist IN New York in whose pictures
almost invariably appears a female figure
so posed as TO bring out some one of these
charming lines. He turns his model,
back to him, and sketches with only
q glimpse of face just where the curve OF
cheek breaks to the fullness OF chin, or he
puts world of coquetry into glances,
which one must fancy accompanied by
delights in the white column of Juno
or the clear-modeled, fine reserve of a
fugitive nymph, but always he starts with
the back Of the neck, and the rest comes
Ms best may. The back Of the neck Is not
only beautiful, 1t Is healthily beautiful.

THE TWO REPUBLICAN factions of New
Hampshire have been again fighting
furiously. In the Legislature yesterday
scnator-elect GALLINGER rose to a ques-
ton of personal privilege to reply to an
editorial attack made upon him in Sena-
tor CHANDLER's organ, the Concord Mont
ter. He was dignifed and temperate.
Not so. however, Mr.. GREEN, who ap-
lied to Mr.. CHANDLER such pleasing and
peacc-producing epithets rs eur" cow
ard,n and assassin of character" FL
nally the tempest died out upon the in
Quiry of Mr.. AYGELL, another Republican,
who asked whether WILLIAM i. CHAND-
LTR was sick, insane or diseased"
From what had been said he thought Mr..
CHANDLER must be insane, and why pay
attention to the rawlings and delusions of
an insane person? This view struck the
New Hampshire intellect as logical and
the matter was allowed to drop. How
ever, the war dogs continue to growl.

In ANOTHER COLUMN to-day we give an
interesting illustration of the way in
which the work Of THE CRIrc Is calmly
appropriated by other papers which use
our matter bodily and claim IL as their
own. It Is Of almost daily occurrence and
will probably continue to be, as the
Capitol gossip of THE Cmrrc has been un-
usually intelligent and correct through
ont the session, and will be no less so
when Congress reassembles in December.
II strikes us, however, that this form Of
larceny is not particularly crcditable to
the big newspapers engaged In II. Journals
which indulge such large pretensions can
surely afford to make acknowledgment
when they borrow from their less osten-
tatious contemporaries. Perhaps they
can't, though.

THE NORFOLK AND WESTERN BILL.


II is believed that arrangements have
been made to secure the withdrawal Of
the amendments to the bill providing for
the entrance of the Norfolk and Western
Road into Washington, and that the bill
will be enacted.
The complication which came near de-
feating the Norfolk and Western bill, and
which may yet defeat it, is the desire of
the Washington and Cumberland COM
pany to get the authority Of Congress t.
condemn the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
and run their road into the city upon its
right Of way. To secure this legislation
an amendment providing for the con-
demnation was tackled by Senator Cor
MAN to the n. a. w. bill, which had al
ready been favorably reported to the Sem
ate, hoping that both would pass together
The amended bill did pass the Senate, but
before the House Committee met with n
storm of opposition from the Baltimore
ard OHIO interests and the bondholders
Of iSi4, who have possession of the canal
by virtue of decision of Chief Justice
ALVEY of Maryland, which has just been
affirmed by the Court of Appeals and by
81 concurring decree oil Judge Cox of the
District of Columbia.
The Norfolk and Western bill is q meri-
torious measure in which the people of
Washington, and especially those of
Georgetown, are deeply concerned. If II
IL defeated by such n complication as
Mr.. GoRMAS's amendment, there will be
just cause for bitter complaint. If the
Washington and Cumberland Road is to
enter the city, and the people of Washing
ton will welcome all roads, it should come
in upon its own merits and not upon the
back Of any other company. 1t is not the
way to proceed and cannot be satisfac.
tory. A bill permitting n railroad to enter
the city should be carefully framed so as
10 protect the rights of the public and OF
individuals, and should be first laid before
the public for discussion and criticism.
