Nothing but fraud and chicanery
at the polls today can defeat the will
Of the people Of this county. All
the Silver men ask is fair play and a
fair count. The ring will resort to
any measure to keep the taxpayers
from having a chance to overhaul the
county books. All the taxpayers
want is chance to get peep behind
the scenes.
The editor of the Tribune, who at
tended last nights meeting in the
hope of making vulgar distortion
of language, went away a sadly dis
appointed man. For the man whose
cratic brain can only see a vulgar
meaning in ordinary well meant
sentences, the APPEAL has nothing
but the profoundest sympathy.

A Poor Boundary Line.

The present trouble with CARA snd his band
emphasizes mistake made at the treaty of Gun
daloupe Hidalgo, when, after the Mexican war,
the boundaries between theMexicanrepublic and
the United States were defined, which was clearly
comrrehended and pointed out by military
men at the time. The Rio Grande is, consider
ing the character and revolutionary tendencies
OF our neighbors, about as bad boundary as
could have been selected. A greater misnomer

quently crossed it when the water did not
reach to my horses knees, and it is eyery-
where fordable. As a barrier it is abso-
lutely worthless being in fact, no more difficult
to pass than an imaginary line, and to be
made secure must be patroled along its entire
length. 1t is this fact that renders II SO diff
cult to catch revolutionists, who dodge from
one side OF the stream to the other. II we had
the frontier which we could and should have
had, the mountains to the south, We would not
be troubled by having to hunt down Mexican
outlaws for that government small force at
the passes would have kept intruders out of
our country and compelled Mexican insurgents
to remain In their own country. The army
men, when the treaty was made, urged strongly
the advantage of this line, but the politicians
chose the Rio Grande, which they believed to
be in some degree worthy Of its name. We
now see the consequences.

Hewing Roadbed Through Solid Rock

From the Chicago Herald.
The builders Of the Congo railroad are now
in the midst Of their greatest difficulties. Nine
tenths OF the engineering problems are GEN.
tered in the first fifteen miles. Near Matadi,
on the Lower Congo, the engineers are COM
PEELED to blast out the rock nearly every step
OF the way. For about three miles the road
bed is dug in the solid rock tina. rises almost
prec;pitously above the Congo 1t then turns
up the Mposi valley, one Of the toughest spots
Imaginable. Every quarter of a mile or less
the track will have to be carried across the
river on bridges. The first five miles of
this difficult part Of the road have now been
completed, and the work is making good pro-
gress on the second section. By the end of
this year the engineers expect to have all their
bridges In place and to have the road COM
pleted to Palabala. stthe summit of the plateau,
and then the work will advance rapidly to Kin
chassa, on Stanley pool
The number of workmen has been largely
increased Of late. The latest mail reports that
2,75O native laborers are grading the roadbed
and excavating the rock. The manage RS are
well pleased with the progress they are max
ing. The building of the bridges in Belgium
has advanced far ahead Of the work on the
the river ready to be put in place.
The need OF the road Is increasing every
month. The trading stations above Stanley
pool maintained by Belgium, Dutch and
French traders have increased to about 100 in
number, and they are collecting great deal of
ivory and rubber, which is now sent to the
coast on the backs of men. About 80. 900 por-
ters are now employed in the transpor tation
business.
The railroad company is carrying out one
work which is unique in the history Of rail.
road enterprises. 1t has constructed in Bel
GUM three iron buildings for the use Of Bel
gian missionaries. The whole cost is defrayed
by the railroad company, whose officials say
that it will pay them to give this assistance to
the missionaries on account of the excellent
influence they have upon the workmen and
the solicitude with which they look after the
health Of the black personnel The company
has also taken steps to establish o sanitarium
at kinkanda and has q competent medical

THE FIRST METHODIST SOCIETY.

Anniversary Services in Preparation in the
Fourth Street M. Z. Church.
Rev. VIM. M. Ferguson. the pastor Of the
Fourth Street N. Z. Church, is closing quite
successful year. this being his fourth year as
pastor. There have been about forty mem
bers received by letter and forty on probation.
At the last quarterly meeting it was unani-
mously resolved to request his return next
year. The history Of the church ia an inter-
esting one, it having been the first Methodist
society organized in Washington, in 1902,
although ct that time one had existed for
more than twenty years in Georgetown. The
society organized in 1902 is now making elabor-
ate arrangements to celebrate the ninetieth an
niversary. 1t began on Greerlears Point. In
OF the government locating the
arsensl at that place in 1904, the society moved
to place on New Jersey avenue, where it
Worshipsd seven years. In 1910 land
was purhased on 4th street southeast
from VIM. Prout, and church was
erected and dedicated in 1911. In 1857 that
church was superseded by the present spacious
edifice. In the long list Of pastors may be
iound the names Of VIM. Waters, the first ma
tive American itinerant preacher; Joshua Wells,
Beverly Waugh, sfterward the greatly beloved
bishops Yelverton T. Peyton, Henry Sicer,
known over tie whole country; Norval Wilson,
father OF Bishop Wilson of Il E. Church South,
and John Lanahan. the pastor OF President
Hayes at Foundry. Wilson Lee and Nelson
Reed, great men Of the early days. and William
NC hendree and Enocb George, afterward
bishops in the church. were among the early
presiding elders. The week beginning Febru-
airy IA has been set apart for the anniversary,
and 1t promises to be an occasion OF very great
interest to all the Methodists OF Washington.

largely attended The sports opened with q
four-round boxing contest for points between
couple Of young colored boys whom the
audience dubbed .'Blackie" and yellow on
account OF their respective colors. and who
slapped and banged for fifteen minutes with
slight intermissions until the referee declared
the contest a draw. An excellent wrestling
bout followed between ]. c. Devoe and John
Sherman. The contest was exciting and the
prize finally captured by Devoe, who. although
by twenty pounds the lighter man, downed his
opponent by superior skill Sampson Junior
stretched himself out between two chairs and
William Nally, the well-known sparrer, placed
2O0-pound stone on his chest and broke it
with huge sledge. The entertainment closed
with q rafting four-round go" between Billy

Canada The bout was exciting and scientific
ally contested, the award finally being made in
ioung's favor, who outscored his opponent %
points. A prize fight between these men will

LIQUOR in Alaska.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
To those who have resided in Alaska the re-
cent debate pro and con of the liquor quest ion
in Alaska is interesting. No doubt the govern
ment Of the United States could stop the sale
of liquor in Alaska to the 4, 100 white residents.
also to Indians, but these white people think
they have the same rights us the citizens of
Washington and those who make laws for them.
The Alaska Indian laughs and makes his own
whisky, which he can do much more cheaply
than he can buy 1t OF the whites. The Indian
simply wants something to intoxicate and the
quicker it lays him out the better, and as long
as he can buy molasses, sugar and -four he
will manufacture the vilest into xicant ever in

and it is strong. From Yakutat to Attoo the
western Of the Alutian Islands, they make a
strong beer called quass, which will make them
drunken sooner and keep them so longer than
any fluid know of, and this stuff is brewed
all around the Boring sea- except on the most
northern shores.
Northward from Point Hope the natives dis

is this skill in making rum which will rapidly

the reindeer in Alaska becomes success there

l observe that a bill has been introduced in
Congress looking to the provision of a fund for
the retirement of government clerks after

During the civil war it was once proposed to

February is, 1868. in which he called attention
to the gross llegality of such an act, under
that provision of the Constitution which di-
reefs that Congress shall pass no law impairing
the obligation OF Contracts.
The proposed law could never be enacted II
it depended on the consent Of the clerks, or of
one-fourth Of them. l am q member of the
classified service and work in a room with five
other men, all of whom are strongly opposed
to such measure. l have seen but one clerk

1t would benefit only those persons who are
willing to become the recipients of charity, and
whose abilities, as a rule, are on a par with
their character. Self-respecting and intelli-
gent employees, whose services are of real value
to the government, will never consent to 1t. 1t
would be a tax on the better class, who would
reject such assistance with scorn, for the bene-
fit of the least deserving.
The published statement that the canvass of
the departments has been made in this connec-
ton is, to my own knowledge, erroneous.
