ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
TUESDAY EVENING, OCT. 4, 1892.

NEITHER The third partyltes nor the
republicans ever nominate negroes for
elective Offices. and get in many Of the
northern States the ,cgro vote decides
elections, and in the South it COM
poses almost the entire republican,
strength. The dl.;.Ii5eicnco-o6,ween the
parties -rreffeJIrrcd TO and the dem
GGrats in the particular respect
alluded to, is that while the latter
don't pretend to believe that negroes
are fit FOR such Offices. the former do.
Intelligent people always prefer SIN
ceritv, even if disagreeablc- to hvpo-
critical friendship; but negroes, not be-
ing intelligent, choose the latter and
continue year after year to be duped
and deceived into casting their votes
solidly against the democrats, who are
their real friends, and for tie demo
cratic opponents, who have cheated
them from the time Of the Freedmen US
Bank down to the present.

The Columbus Celebration.

Are the ones who sailed forth in
1S46-'4S to take possession of the heath
en- land discovered by Columbus in
1892 and made Christian white mems
country out of it entitled to considera-
ton during the great parade-naval,
military and civic-to be enacted in
New York on the 18th, 18th and 18th
instant? As history records, they came
by land and on sea from the north and
tie south of the United States. OF
those who survive and who imperiled
their lives thousand times day upon
the batt!eGelds of Mexico few are
still living in Alexandria. One of them,
who served in 1865 in Colonel Bur-
nett,s New York regiment. was born
on the 18th day of October. 1878, and
is desirons to celebrate his 74rh birth
day in Fort Hamilton, New York.

Mr.. DEPEw, the noted New York re-
publican orator, is, like most other
right thinking men, opposed to women
taking conspicuous parts in politics,
and says Il think it is of little Use for
woman to stand upon platform and
talk upon the tariff, reciprocity, and
the money question, or any other ofthe
leading issues" Mr.. Depew is as right
in this as he is wrong in his support OF
Il tariff that robs the poor people of the
country by a heavy tax on their neces-
sarics of life for the purpose of increas-
ing the profits of a comparatively few
rich monopolists. 1t is strange that
one and the sclf-same man should be so
right on some things and so utterly
wrong on Others

A PREACHER DISC0MFITTED.- est
Philadelphians have for some weeks
been discussing in their secret cham
bers the somewhat remarkable esca-
pade at Cape May of Rev W. ii. Ash
heten, late rector of St. Andrews Pro-
tcstant Episcopal Church. and once
prominent in st. Louis. lis gentle
mans year in the rectorship ended ON
September /, and it was during his va
cation prior to that time that the UNI
ministerial episode occurred.
Early in July Mr.. Ashheton went to
Cape MAY rs the guest of a gentleman
well known in financial circles in Phil
adelphia who has a cottage there. On
the first Sunday in the month he occu-
pied the local pulpit at the Cape to the
satisfaction OF Il large congregation.
Next day was the Fourth, and upon
that occasion, it seems. the clergyman
was so reckless in his libatiors that the
whole household became aware Of his
condition aud the relations Of host and
guest became SON ewhat strained.
The report of Their rectors overlndul-
gence soon reached the ears OF -. An
drcw's congregation. and ever since that
time gossip has been mrestrained.
Although Mr.. Ashheton was stillrector
of the parish when he fell from grace
he was on his vacation from July to
August 81, at which time his year ex-
pired. He had endered his resigna-
ton. which was accepted. be'4r5 start
inc on his vacation, and, therefore. did
not have occasion again to appear be-
fore his flock.
Soon after the unfortunate occur
renee he left for England. his native
soil. 1t was learned yesterday that,
although he may return to this country,
he will iorsake the ministry and devote
himself to literature.
Mr.. Ashheton was once rector of n
prominent st. Louis church, but was
rusticating in Virginia, when he was
called St. Andrews. He is a single
man.
Members of st. Andrews congrega-
ton say that Mr.. Ashheton was a most
effective preacher and vigorous parish
priest. His Lenten sermons Were very
fine.

THE GAZETTE has always said that
the Chicago fair, to which the Virginia
legislature made an appropriation,
though it declared the State too poor
to pay her honest debt, was sectional
and partisan concern. 1t is now an
nounced that a grand republican rally
will be held at Chicago during the ded-
icatory exercises of the fair, at which
Senator Sherman, Governor Mckinley
and Mr.. Depew will make republican
speeches. The republicans are not tc
blame. but the same cannot he said ofa
democratic U. 5. House of Representa-
tives that appropriated five million dol
lars to the fair referred to.

THE NEW YORK SIN says the stop
page Of immigration has increased the
demand for negro domestic servants III
thatcity, and thatin consequence thereof
a large number ofsuch servants are COM
ing there from the South. 1t also says
that in old times such servants were
blessings, and that an old Virginia cook
was treasure. There is no doubt OF
the fact that before the negro slaves
were set free, housekeeping in the
South was devoid of many of the OBJ
iections now attached to it. But the
cooking, washing and ironing, and
house service OF the negroes of those
days are lost arts, as the New Workers
who employ negro servants will, to
their sorrow, Immediately realize.
