of Police Mcdowell, saw an adver-
tisement inserted in some paper
by the BROOKLYN Art Union. which
stated that the firm would. free Of
charge, enlarge pictures sent them by
readers of the advertisement. The little
girl sent a photograph of her grand
father. Maj. w. w. Mcdowell. In a
short while she received from the firm a
long typewriter letter, in which it set
forth that it was a reliable society of
artists" nd, unlike other firms in the
same bus,Aess. would not charge her a
fancy price for a frame for her picture.

THE BENEFIT.
no, a VERY Large Crowd Out
Last Evening.

The stereopticon exhibition and prize
drill at the Grand opera house last even
ing did not attract a very large crowd.
Some of the pictures exhibited were
fairly good. such as the pictures of Gen.
Jackson, Gen. Lee. Gen. Grant. Gen.
Hancock, Gen. Johnson and others, but
the battle scenes were.too small to be
very effective. uH
The prize drill of the pAsheville Light
Infantry was good. The company was
under command of Lieutenant Lewis.
The boys all drilled we'll, but the con-
test finally settled down between X. S.
Stewart and G. o. Roberts. Finally,
after hard fight, Stewart went down
on order arms by numbers. and
Roberts was declared the winner.
The prize, a silver inkstand, was pre-
sented to the successful soldier by Chas.
| A. Webb in a neat speach.

Following upon the publica tion of the
roll of honor OF the city schools every
month THE CITIZEN frequently hears
complaints from pupils whose monthly
reports assured them that they would
be on the roll of honor, yet when the
report was published their names were
omitted.
One case was brought to THE CITIZENS
attention yesterday. One little Miss of 2
years in the fifth grade at Orange street
school had received excellent" on every
thing in her report and was naturally
expecting to he on the honor roll. When
it was published in THE CITIZEN. how
ever her name did not appear. The little
girl laid the matter before the teacher
yesterday morning, and was told that
there must have been a mistake in the
printing. More than this, two or three
of those whose names were printed, in
formed the teacher that their names
| should not have been on the roll, accord
| ing to their reports.
THE CITIZEN knows that the mistake
was not made in this Office. The oriCi
| nal copy, made out by the teacher, is in
| the Office now, and the names as printed
| in THE CITIZEN correspond exactly with

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-The sundry civil

ferred to the committee on appropria-
tions. Mr.. Bland gave the significant
suggestion that the committee on appro-
priations should report it back at as
early a day as possible, as heintended to
have the Senate amendments fully and
fairly discussed in the committee of the

modestly leaned over the screen in the
rear of the chamber. But he could not
escape the eyes that were in search Of

| several moments and which evidently
| came from the heart. Outhwaite, smil

/ five minutes of his time.
/ And SO Herbert was compelled to come

WITH that utter disregard for truth
which characteristics the utterances Of
that gentlemen, when Democrats or
Democracy constitutes the theme Of
discourse, the Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge makes the following assertions
concerning the position Of the Demo
cratic party toward the tariff question:
"The Democrats have crrried the
country upon the proposition that
protection is not only inexpedient,
but that it is unconstitutional and
therefore illegal and wrong, Unless
this was the blacklist lie ever incor.
porated in a party programme, the
Democrats as party must embody
in legislation the principle upon
which they won. There may be de-
grees of inexpediency, but there can
be no room for paltering about a sys-
tenn which the party in power has de-
clared to be unlawful Unless the
victorious party is absolutely false to
the plainest kind Of pledge, which
they cannot be without running upon
certain defeat they must sweep pro-
lection from the statute books. They
must wipe out everything in the sys-
tenn OF raising revenue which gives
protection and raise their necessary
revenue by methods which can give
no protection whatever Now this
article, which appeared in recent is
sue of the Forum, possesses only one
merit, and that is as an illustration Of
the superb talent Of its author for the
perversion Of the truth Such a po-
sition as that set forth by him has
never been assumed by the Demo
cratic party or its representatives.
All, no, Monsieur Lodge, you will
scarcely be able to convince an intel
ligent public that the Democrats are
80 entirely ignorant as not to com
prehend the importance Of this ques-
ton, or that they will adopt the he
roic remedy for existing evils involv.
ed in at once wiping out protection.
They are compelled to recognize con-
ditions, and canuot Immediately abate
all the evils precipitated on the coun-
try by reckless and corrupt Republi-
can legislation.
