COMMUNICATIVE Chief"
This was breakaway day in the Off
cial programme for the entertainment
of the Grand Army, but its members
released themselves twenty-seven years
ago from the letters of ''orders from the
commanding officer' and have been
breaking away as fast as long lines of
railway cars could carry them out of
town ever since the close OF the second
grand review Tuesday last. The wet
Southwestern which set in Wednesday
morning accelerated their departure,
and, as it continued with brief inter
missions every day, the attractions in
and about the capital have lost some
what of their power to detain the Wis:
ltOrS. As result, the population of
Washington tonight has diminished to
nearly its normal size.
The closing scenes i'm the official pro-
gramme of entertainment for the en-
campment took place this afternoon by
a trip down the river. which was given
under the auspices of the citizens COM

WHY THE soMERsAULT?

One of the conundrums Of politics at
| present is, What has caused an esteemed
and lively cotemporary to stand on his
head? The especial performance in gym.
nastics on the part of the always interest
ing Washington Post, over whose good
fortunes Mr.. Hatton presides, is the recent
somersault in favor of Blaine. The latest
expression of that journal is in Saturdays
issue. After enlarging on the unques-
tionable desire of the Republican masses
for Blaine's leadership, it has the follow
ing on that statesman's own attitude:
Mr. Blaine has been careful of his record
in this matter. He has with scrupulous,
with almost theatrical solicitude removed
himself from the path of his chiefs am-
bition. He has protested with unction and
volubility that he is not to be considered in
this year of our Lord. But we know whereof
we speak when we declare that If. in the
face of all that has been said and done, he
we're to receive the nomination of his party,
he would be the happiest and the proudest
man in all America.
These editorial declarations are un-
doubtedly correct as regards the public
desire, and the statement may be true that
Mr.. Blaine's scruples would be overcome
by the demand of the party. But the
popularity of these utterances is that they
display a remarkable variance from the
attitude of our contemporary toward MI.
Blaine at very recent date. Hardly
three moons have waxed and waned since
the Post was indulging in more than in
timations that Blaine was keeping peace
with Chile in the interest of the Grace
syndicate, and its pronounced opposition
to Blaine as a possible obstacle to the
Harrison boom has been manifested more
recently.
Consequently, when the facile Mr.. Hat
ton now turns out smooth and even en-
thusiastic expressions with regard y to
Blaine, and permits the Harrison sun to 90
down in obscurity, there is an imperative
curiosity to learn why this flip-fap. Has
Mr.. HattGn been brought into the Blaine
movement by the influence of the dissi-
dent Republicans? Or has he discovered
some new objections to Mr.. Harrison?
The country will hold its breath while
waiting for enlightenment from the Post
on these points, :. ...p

A Rather Sad Commentary on Congress
mon Posing as ConnoIsscurs.
WASHINGTON, May %. -[Specidl.l - Blue
Monday was particularly blue to-day in SO
far as important legislation was concerned.
The House devoted itself largely to tho con-
sideratfon of District Columbia matters OF
meager interest to the general public, and
the Senate did little except to act upon a
number of unimportant bills, one of which
was the purchase of an oil portrait OF Presi-
dent Lincoln for $4,000. This bill, any lover
of art will regret to hear, was passed. OF
course it will not get through the House. 1t
worthless: but on grounds of economy.
The painting is by an unheard-of artist, who
must now be quite old II he be alive. No
one knows him. While the picture is
claimed to be one painted from life, there
is nothing offered to substantiate the asser-
tion except the word of the present owners
The portrait is poor ane and wretchedly
handled. 1t bears the appearance Of hav-
many photographs of Lincoln. 1t has been
hawked about the country for years, and
for long time hung in the reading room of

In the interests of ECONOMY" and not of

the senate to-day for the purchase of the
ecrated policy of Mr. Holman will uncon-
sciously do good act in the interests Of
real art. The portrait, so-called, is really
the property OF two or three spectators,
who purchased it from a gentleman OF
usurious ambition, who, few years ago,
advanced upon it a loan to the artist. The
Senate, therefore, to put it in plain words,
takes pawn ticket worth 500 or $500 on its
face and agrees to pay for 1t the goodIy sum
Of $1,000.

Methodist Brethren Discuss Their Admis-
sion to the Convention.
OMAHA, May 23.-The last week Of the
Methodist Conference began this morning
with Bishop Warren in the chair. The re-
port on the Epworth League was MADE
special order for Tuesday at 10 o'clock. Dr.
Smith, of the Pittsburg Advocate, introduced
q motion to cast the resolution from table
as presented last week, providing for an ad-
tournment on Thursday afternoon OF this
week. DR.. Nealy was opposed to the idea or
fixing the time for Adjournment. The mo-
tfon was carried, however. DR.. Potts wanted
to Introduce resolution to submit the ques-
ton of admitting women as delegates to the
General Conference again, but owing to the
the Committee on Lay Representation and
Judiciary, the resolution was not enter
tanned.
DR.. Hallman and half a dozen others
cla1m9d that the subject was not before tne
committee; they demanded that the resolu-
tion introduced by DR.. Potts, seeking to SUP,
init the admission of women to the annual
conferences, be taken up. 1t was finally
ascertained that this important matter had
not been presented to any of the committees
in the form prescribed in the resolution in
fore reversed and DIR. Potts resolution was
taken mp. DR.. Potts declared that q large
number of the delegates present had been
elected OH the issues involved In the woman
home without taking definite action. HIS
conference was in favor of admitting the
women. Then Dr. d. III. Moore, another
champion of the woman position, came to
the front. He had substitute declaring
that the admission of women was not a con-
stitutional Question, but was question that
the General Conference could decide. His
substitute was declared out Of order, the
point being made by DR.. Buckley that the
question raised by Moore's resolution was
before COMMITTEES, viz, the constitutional
ity of the woman question. The whole
question was finally laid over.
DR.. Sanford Hunt was elected Treasurer
OF the Missionary Society and Dr. Earl Gram
ston was elected Secretary of the same soci-
ETY.. MIR. Field, of Philadelphia, introduced
a resolution to make it necessary for all
officers, agents, secretaries, treasurers and
the like who had the handing of the funds
to give bonds as security. This brought on
heated discussion. Chaplain McCabe. DR..
Lanahan and others opposed the resolution.
They held that rs the funds had always been
properly accounted for and as many Of
these officers filled the Office OF Treasurer
without compensation, it would be out of
place to ask them to furnish bonds. A res
olution of sympathy Tor the Hebrews Of
Russia was then introduced and passed.
Adjourned for the day.

FIGHTING THE ANTl-swEAr LAW.
New York Manufacturers Claim It Was
Passed for a Squeeze.

New York Manufacturers Claim 1t Was
Passed for Squeeze.
NEW YORK, May 23-The anti-sweating
law, which aims to abolish the tenement
house sweating system, will be contested in
the courts by the Clothing Manufacturers
Union of this city. The Board of Health, it
is argued, already had the power to inspect
oil kinds OF buildings. The definition of the
word family" was so narrow as to prevent
any aged person or bedridden brother or
spinster aunt from aiding in the support of
the family whose bread they ate. To the
inspectors, it is pointed out, were given in
definite powers and the bill did not indicate
how the inspectors could determine that
goods manufactured out of the State were
made under unhealthy conditions. No pro-
vision was made to cover the expenses of
investigations, and this was proof that the
act was framed at the solicitation of wealthy
contractors or unions or both.
Mr. Adler declared that the bill discrimi-
mated against merchants of this State.
Goods manufactured in other States in the
manner prohibited sold ut lower rates, and
representatives of the foreign merchants
could come into New York and sell large
quantities by samples. and thus easily COM
peJe with merchants here in the second
largest industry of this State. The trades
unions, on the other hand, are we'll pleased
at the passing of the bills, and will do their
utmost to enforce the laws for the purpose
of abolishing the tenement house sweating
system.

FRENCH AND ANGLo-sAxoN,

One of the striking differences between
French theories of law and our own is
presented by that verdict in the Deacon
case, which found the prisoner guilty of
wounding NJ. Abeille with premeditation,
but not of premeditation to kill him. Here
we have presented to us the fact that the
principle of Anglo-SaXon law holding a
man guilty of murder, if he kills another
in the committal of an illegal act, does not
hold good in France. The French law
only convicts man for what he actually
intended to do The Anglo-Saxon law
holds the man guilty for the full coEse-
quences of his acts if there was any in
tention to commit an act of less degree
of criminality.
The contrast is the more noticeable be-
cause in other respects French law is more
unfavorable to the criminal. 1t is almost
a proverb that Anglo-Saxon criminal law
is framed to guard against the punishment
of the innocent, while Latin criminal
practice is shaped to prevent the escape of
the guilty. In the exception presented by
the Deacon case, the contrast is hardly to
the advantage of French law. 1t shows
less regard for the sanctity of human life
that robber or bully may, in committing
burglary or making an assault, kill his
victim and yet be punished only for the
smaller offense. 1t would certainly be a
dangerous doctrine for this country that a
man could shoot at his enemy to wound
him without fear OF the consequences of
killing him.
The French can, of course, retort on
such a criticism that criminals, even of
that class, are punished more surely and
promptly In the French courts than in
America. That is true, because the theo-
ries of law are invariably and unsparingly
carried out The great weakness of the
social machinery in this country, outside
of the courts as well as in them, is that
we do not live up to our principles.

A ATANGIBLE RESULT.

Attention is called in our local columns
to the reduction in bids for paving this
year. Chief Bigelow believes that the de-
crease in the prices asked is due entirely
to the effect of the ordinance signed by
the Mayor last Friday providing for the
payment of interest on improvement con-
tracts from the date of their completion.
There is no doubt that the Chief is right
in this matter. For in bids where uncer-
tainty of time of payment is an important
item to be provided for, it is natural that
the figures asked by contractors should be
higher by reason of their speculative
nature than where all conditions of pay
ment are definitely known at the time of
estimating
The elimination of the element of un-
certainty is clearly shown by the reduc-
ton in the prices asked this year, and
property holders are to be congratulated
that in this matter as in all others busi-
ness methods are synonymous with
economy.

round fee. But there are pedigrees and
pedigrees and the Colonial Danes have
decided that the millionaire pedigrees
were not the kind required for their uses.
Consequently, New York society is in an
uproar.
Pause for a moment to reflect on the
forces thus brought into conflict. On one
side is the aristocratic quality Of pedigree;
on the other, that tremendous force OF
money, which discerning social students
have recently discovered to be the basis OF
high society. While that at which New
York fashion aims is in conflict with that
which supports it, how can the Four Hun
dred digest their mapy-coursed banquets

momentous issue is being tried to final

times before, in the Old World as well
as this; and it always turns out the
same way. Blood invariably surrenders to

SHOWN To BE E0GI1s

1t is due to readers of THE DISPATCH
to state that the letter purporting to have
been written by General Grant to Roscoe
Ccnkling, in 1880, has been conclusively
shown to be bogus. The language en-
ployed in the letter being full of redundant
conventionalities, strongly opposed to
Grants simple and terse style of express
ing himself, was enough to cast doubt on
its authenticity. The matter is definitely
settled, however, by the date of the letter
New York, May 2, 1sSo"-at which
time General Grant was thousand miles
away from that city. 1t is intimated that
the letter was manufactured for a poIiti-
cal purpose If SO, it was very weak at
tempt, and so clumsily made that its ex-
posure was prompt and decisive.

A WOMAN'S RIGHT,

Here is question of woman's rights
with vengeancel The suburb Of Coving-
ton, KY, was aroused the other day by the
determined stand of seventy-fve women
who assembled to prevent a wedding
which they regarded as an infringement
of their natural rights. Not that they are
opposed to marriage. Quite the contrary.
Their opposition was based on the princi-
pie that the marriage in question was an
outrageous example Of the way in which
the equal rights of womanhood in that re-
spect are broken down.
The eXpectant bride in this case was a
widow who had buried her former hus-
band only two weeks before. The Gov
ington women evidently have studied
statistics to the point of learning that the
supply of husbands does not exceed the
average of one to each woman. They
could endure certain degree of inequaI-
ity; but when it came to case in which
woman indulged in new husband after
the lapse of two weeks, while many of her
less fortunate sisters were in danger of
going entirely unsupplied, female nature
would not stand it. They rose en- masse
and forbade the banns. The force of their
prohibition is sufficiently shown by men
tioning the fact that the wedding did not
come off
This brings up the question of the status
of the widows Much complaint has been
heard of their encroachment upon the
privileges and prospects of the spinster
element The latter has heretofore con-
fined itself to echoing the sentiment of
Tony Weller, Esq; but ulterior measures
have not been resorted to until the Gov
ington women showed the way If that
method of prohibition becomes general it
may interfere with the plans of the
widows, but will hardly detract from the
enjoyment which the masculine half of
society finds in the company of those
ladies
