THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

Secretary Noble Says the President Will BE
Renominated-SoD Does Mr.. wanamaker.
Secretary Noble spoke very confidently this
morning in answer to question put to him by
a STAR man as to the probable action of the
Minneapolis convention. 'The Presi-
dent will be nominated he said.
HE is the only logical candidate.
The party can't get along in the next campaign
without praising the administration of the past
four years ago, and il they praise the work the
man certainly can't be overlooked. The Presi-
dent stands today as the exponen Of the princi-
pies of the republican party"
MR.. wANAMAKER ALSO CERTAIN.
Equally certain is Postmaster General Wanna
maker that President Harrison is the man to be
placed in nomination by the republican con-
vention. He says that after the general
Endorsement by the state conventions of the
Presidents administration that it would be a
kind of unfairness and Inconsistency for the
party not to indorse him by nomination He
thinks that the business interests of the
country would be benefited by the President
reelection. From a business standpoint and
from personal acquaintance with much of the
work of the present administration he had
reached the conclusion that the President was
the proper candidate of the party for the COM
ing contest.

THE G. A. X. ENCAMPMENr.
Applications Coming in From Posts From
All Parts of the Country,

Applications are coming in from Grand
Army posts throughout the country, and the
citizens committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the Grand Army encampment is kept
busy in supplying quarters. Already over
10000 veterans of the late war have secured
quarters in, anticipation of their coming
to this city to attend the encampment
in September next. Although it is now a little
over three months before the encampment will
be held. yet from the large number that have
made arrangements to attend it is evident that
the actual attendance will not fall far short of
the predictions that this gathering of Grand
Army men will be the largest ever
held. The arrangements made by the
committee enable them to handle the numerous
applicants without confusion and thus far those
applying have obtained about what they
wanted. The secretary, Mr.. Dingman. and his
corps of assistants are kept busy even now. and
they look forward to still Hvelier times later in
the season.
Thus far accommodations have been secured
for those applying in the private buildings and
in the school houses. 1t is the intention of the
citizens committee to erect large frame struct-
ures, which will be fitted up with cots and
placed at the disposal of the veterans.

Store Clerks and Early Closing.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
A communication, signed Una Voce. in your
last issue attracted the attention of the writer
and others interested in short hours for store
clerks. 1t has been remarked of late that the
stores were gradually getting back to the old
state Of affairs. viz. 9 pm. for closing. The
question has been asked. why is it?'' The re-
ply. of necessity. must be, Want of organiza-
tion." 1t has occurred TO the writer of this
that Una VOce may never have been a member
of the clerks assembly and does not know that
through persistent effort of few who were and
are members of the assembly the b aud O'Clock
closing was accomplished. aid low W he'll his toes

Writ of Habeas Corpus Denied by the Court
in General Term.

Writ of Habeas Corpus Denied by the Court
I'm General Term.
VIM. Douglass Cross motion for his discharge
by habeas corpus from custody on the ground
that it was not within the power of the Court
in General Term to change the day Of execu-
ton was decidedly adversely by the Court in
General Term this morning, Judge James
delivering the opinion of the court.
He said that they had carefully examined the
statutes and the decisions relied upon and they
found that the Supreme Court Of the United
States has laid down the law that the time and
place is strictly no part Of the Judgment unless
made so by statutes. Chief Justice Park Of
New Hampshire held that the sentence Of death
was the Judgment of the court and the time and
place the judicial order for its execution.
Chief Justice Blagburn Of Indiana decided that
the order fixing time and place Is no part OF
the Judgment. The question then ia there any
statute which makes the time part Of the judg-
ment, and section si5, Revised Statutes. is
cited. That section provides that a prisoner

execution of the sentence, that the appeal may
be heard, &C., but it does not take it out of the
power of the court TO enforce the judgment.
II was a right the prisoner has ii he chooses to
avail himself of it, but he thereby does
not put 1t ont Of the power OF the court to en-
force the Judgment. The power of the court
remains as at common Law as to the enforce
ment of judgments. In case of an escape the
court could appoint another day, and other
wise it would place the prisoner in position to
nhiify the Judgment by escape, by accident,
refusal Of office. &c. The power Of the court
remained if from any cause the day WAS al
lowed to pass to enforce its Judgment
The prisoner could not be discharged.
While the court did not touch on the question
as to their power to change the sentence the
effect of it was the preparation of an order by
the assistant district attorney removing the case
to the Criminal Court for resentence.

Concerning Grassland Cemetery.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
There appeared in last evenings STAR, under
the heading, 'Gracelaud Cemetery" what pur-
ports to be an interview with Health Officer
Hammett, in which he takes occasion to say, if
reported correctly, that ''Some persons in
terested in the cemetery would like to nee it
closed because Of the value of the land for
building purposes and that he was really afraid
that there was a land speculation involved in the
affair" As this statement il without a single
item Of fact upon which to rest. wish to
characterize il as unwarranted and unjust. The
petition which prompted the investigation of
the water in the neighborhood was written,
promoted and signed by persons having no con-
nection Whatever with the cemetery. either di-
rect or remote. and for the sole purpose OF
creating q prejudice against il. with the imme-
date object in view of lettering burials and the
ultimate object of having it condemned as q
cemetery. Many of the signers, rs inyestiga-
ton would show, are persons who have little
use for water, pure or impure. As matter OF
fact the analysis proved that the water in wells
and springs adjacent TO the cemetery was un-
usually pure and wholesome. and the health
officer should have given as prompt and public
an announcement Of that fact rs he did OF his
intention to make the investigation. on account
of the complaints made in the petition.
There are enough duties attached to his inn
portant Office to keep DIR. Hammetts mind oc-
cupied without making it necessary for him to
worry over real estate speculations, which exist
so far US Gracelsnd cemetery Is concerned. only
in his own imagination. +. s. PnEsBREY,

use the school square for a market, but Mr..
Cassell exerted himself to prevent such a diver
sion Of the ground from the purposes to which
it was originally dedicated. Mr.. Cassell enjoyed
good health up to the last year of life and was
actively engaged in business.

Say They Paid Money for Places-The Fee
male Employees Defended.
Before the census investigating committee
this morning appeared F. X. Quinlan. who stated
that he had received an appointment in the
census bureau for three months through one
Jos. Germiller, to whom he paid $40 month.
There were others appointed at the same time
under the same conditions. GermiIIer was
merely clerk in the bureau. He (witness) had
no indorsers.
NJ. OppenheiIner testified that he was ap-
pointed under the some circumstances he
should pay Germiller $40 q month. He had
paid, however, but IS, as he was discharged
before the expiration Of month. His applica-
ton for a position was not Endorsed by any,
body.
THE FEMALE EMPLOYEES OFFENDED.
Rev. Albert R. Stuart, rector Of Christ
Church, Georgetown, spoke in the highest
terms Of the character of a female employee in
the census office against whom some reflections
have been cast during the course of the inves-
tigation. In the interest of fairness and in the
name of the noble women Of the country
he asked that the testimony be eYpunged from
the record He grew indignant as he spoke of
the slurs which were frequently cast upon the
female clerks in the government departments,
women employees were noble class, striving to
earn an honest livelihood.
&. H. OBrien, Waterman in the census
Office, testified that two men. purporting to be
newspaper men, obtained entrance to the Office
every evening for six weeks on passes signed by
Section Chief Hyde. They remained from

RICHARDS TESTIMONY CoNrRADICTED.
Yesterday afternoon F. F. Dean, a former

methods pursued in the division of agriculture.
Witness stated that it was only where
the amounts were trifing or the in
tention Of the enumeration was obvious
that omissions were supplied in the Office. In
all other cases the farmers or enumerators were
corresponded with before changes we're made.
Mr.. Deans testimony, like that of witnesses
Elliott and Dawson the previous day.
entirely cOntradicted the testimony given
by J. Fraise Richards. who was en-
ployed in Deans section and who was stated by
that witness to have been the demoralizer of
the division, defiant of all authority, doing very
little work and that mostly of worthless
character. The chairman demurred to the
introduction of this evidence, but did not carry
his objection to the extent of ruling it out.
