A RESOLUTION to repeal the civil ser
vice law and abolish the civil service
commission lacked only seven votes OF
being adopted by the U. S. House OF
Representative yesterday, and would
have been passed by large majority
if many of the members of that body
who really favored it, had not, on that,
rs on other matters, proved cuckoos.
As long as this country shall retain its
republican form of government 1t
should be goverped in accordance with
republican ideas. The civil service
law is not in accord, but is directly at
variance with such ideas.

THURSDAY EVENING. MAY "a, 1884

ACCORDING TO the report of the
finance committee of the City Council,
the revenues of Alexandria for the next
year will be less than the expenditures,
and that, too, though some of the latter
have been Topped of. Such condition
is not at all conducive to investments
in real estate here, for such property
has to bear the burden of taxation.
Strangers seeking homes, or lots Tor
specializing purposes, are attracted by
low, not by high taxes, and city whose
expenses are already more than its re-
ceipts, is certainly not in condition to
warrant increased expenditures, that
must be paid by an increased rate OF
faXatiOn

MASSEY AND SMALL.-The election
that is being held in Norfolk to-day is
being holly contested. The campaign
closed Tuesday night when Rev. John
f. Massey, who advocates the demo.
cratic ticket, and Rev. Sam Small, who
is working hard for the prohibition-re-
form ticket, made speeches in different
halls, during which they paid their re-
spects to each other. Mr.. Massey in
the course of his speech said that ne
had been designated by Mr.. Small as
the advocate and chief counsel of the
saloons. He would place his record on
the temperance question alongside OF
that of Mr.. Small and let the people
decide. He then said that Mr.. Small
had been in jail, and that his accounts
were not straight Mr.. Small when
informed of Mr.. Massey's statement
called him an infamous liar.

THE New York Adrertiser supports
the few disnaturalized American filibus-
ters who, having seized Hawaii and de-
posed the legitimate rulers of that coun-
try, have imposed an educational quali'
fication upon suffrage there. Why, Of
course. Hawaiians, who are not able 10
to read and write, should not be allow
ed to vote, but negroes in the South
should vote, though they don't know
the difference between b and bulls

AGAINST BRECKISRIDGE.-Polit Con-
federate and social circles in Lexington are
more excited than ever over a report that a
gonen's auxiliary to the Confederate Asso.
citation had refused 10 decorate Confederate
graves because Breckenridge was member of
the Veterans Association. The president of
the auxiliary says il will take no part in tbs
Breckenridge case as body, and that there
will be no refusal to decorate graves. Mrs. a.
NJ Harrison. secretary, and her sisteI-in:laT,
auxiliary. resigned their offices yesterday.
They are severe in condemnation of Breckin-
ridge. and while they give no open reason
for resgning, they say plainly it ought not be
difficult TO infer why they quit the organiza-
ton. Mrs Harrison is a daughter OF the late
Confederate General WitherS, and Miss Harri-
son is daughter of the late James o. Harri-
son, kiusman, historian AM administrator OF
Henry Clay.

against the confirmation of the Kansas
negro nominated by President Cleve-

THE CITY Council now has before it
q proposition allowing connection be-
tween the electric, and one of the steam
railroads in the city. 1t should be very
careful in framing an ordinance for any
such purpose. Steam cars are already
allowed the free use of some of the
streets, and should not be permitted to
use others, unless there be urgent rea-
sons for doing 50, of which none is ap-
parent. Alexandria is growing city,
and compared with measures conducive
to its welfare, those in the interest OF
any railroad, are of minor Importance.

The PrcShYtcl.ianS.

The Southern Presbyterian assembly
at Nashville yesterday adopted the re-
port of the organic union committee,
formally rejecting the proposal of the
Northern church for the appointment
OF committee Of conference on the
subject of organic union. 1t was the
sentiment of the opponents that organ
ic union was impossible in view of the
position Of both churches, and that a
conference committee could never
agree. They said the Northern church
stood now where it did when separation
came, and that it was an insult to ask
the Southern church to meet them when
it was well-known fact that they
could never harmonic their differences.
Tae General Assembly declared the re-
viscd directory overwhelmingly adopt
ed. There was protracted discussion
of the report Of the committee on bills
and overtures concerning a proposed
change in the baptisnal formula.

Rev. DR.. Murkland, of Baltimore,
representing the Presbyterian Alliance,
in an address to the Northern Assembly
at Saratoga yesterday, advocated the
reuniting the northern and southern
churches, and DR.. Mutchmore, the
moderator, in reply, said that it was q
crime to be separated any longer.
Prof. George T. Purves, of Princeton,
formerly of Baltimore, read the report
of the committee on the work of the
board of foreign missions during the
year past. The report showed that the
receipts for the year amounted to s843 i,

boards OF missions contributed 1924 600,
and legacies yielded nearly $4,000
Under commission by the board 635

THE wATERWORKs.

The question Of constructing water
works in this place has been agitated for
some time past and the time is now near
at hand when the electors will have an
opportunity to cast ballot for or against
it. It is commendable in any business
man to proceed cautiously when ne con-
templates making investments and we
are glad to see the same course pursued
by the electors in regard to voting for
the waterworks. Everyone appears to be
thoroughly Investigating the matter, and
obtaining all the information possible
The plan proposed by the council Tor re-
deeming the bonds, we think, has placed
the matter in such a shape that, consider
ing the benefit to be derived from the
waterworks, we cannot afford, to let the
opportunity pass and not have them' In
addition to the benefits to business men
and private individuals, it would be q
snlendid advertisement to draw manu-
featuring interests here, that would In a
few years more than repay the town fol
the entire investment. We know OF nc
town that have them that desire to &c
away with them, which is certainly
good pointer in favor Of voting yes.

do away with what is known as the Cen

the simple reason they are doing great
injustice to the people. During the
great Christian Endeayor meeting re-
Gently held in Cleveland, the local travel
was confined strictly to the rules for pas
sengers residing on the Pacific coast, as
the local agents were not permitted to
sell tickets at reduced rates for only
three days. Local passengers should
have been accommodated every day Of
the meeting. The G. A. R, and X. OK +
