themselves to his notice as members Of the

der the Post Office Department. When Hat

aries were marked for removal. among others
! this one He hurried about. and. by one
means and another. secured letters from
prominent church di-nitaries ASKING for MS
retention. he applied first to Postmaster
General Howe. vho turned him over to his
| First Assistant.
- believe I have written you asking for
your resignation said Hatton quietly, in
response TO the visitor s siatro3uctory remarks.
You have. sir. and 1 an here to ask il you
cannot withdraw your request on the strength
OF all these crodentials!'
NO. sir. cannot. I have made up my
mind, and you VIII have to go.'
Tho applicant assumed his most solemn air
and tone.
Brother Hatton," said he. "you are a
Methodist. are you not?'
Il certainly am"
"Ani am preacher in the Methodist
Church. II you deprive me of this Office the
church all over the country will regard it as
studiedinsult and deliberate blow at Metho-
| dism.''
"Ah, my friend, there you do our church
! gross injustice" answered Hatton, coolly.
"Since have been raised to one of the most
prominent positions in this department
take it that the Methodists are satisfied.
They certainly would not ask for everything;
and as 1 can serve the church better as First
Assistant Postmaster Genera. than you can
serve it as an inspector. you will have to get
out, for shant. Good morning, Brother
Smith,
Postmaster General Howe was very much
delighted with the way Hatton put a check
upon that kind OF influence in which politics
and religion are brought into unholy alli-
ance.

Cooling Houses With Hose.

MAKE THEM MOVE.

Why should the constant sacrifice Of life be
permitted, and the development Of Northeast
Washington be prevented, through the pres
ence of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks
inside the city limits?
The location of the depot at v street north
east would be Just as well for the railroad and
the travelling public and an infinite relief to
our city.
Also. why should the Baltimore and Poto-
mac depot and tracks be longer permitted to
incumber the mall? As good a site for the
depot would be the intersection Of Maryland
aud Virginia avenues. between Seventh and
Ninth streets.
These changes would do much to dispose of
our local railroad problem.

THE REcoRpERsHIP.

1t is highly gratifying to find ourselves in
agreement with the Star on local question.
Its proposition to reduce the salary Of the
Recorder of Deeds to $4,000 should be
adopted. There is no reason why the pres
ent high salary should be paid for services SO
easily performed.
We will propose as an amendment germane
thereto that it would be we'll at the same
time to provide per diem pay for the copy
lists, instead of piece rates. This would
greatly add to the efficiency of the system.

SENATOR PAT WALSH, OF Georgia, delivered
his maiden speech in the Senate yesterday,
and very creditable one it was, although he
was evidently embarrassed by some shyness in
Its delivery. While discussing the income
tax Senator Hill sought to interrupt him with
a question. Mr.. Walsh, with ready tact, de-
clined to yield the floor. As it was his first eff
fort, he said, he would rather not be inter-
rupted, but would answer any questions the
Senator desired to prop,und at the close. Mr.
Hills action, though complimentary to the
force of Mr.. walsh's oratory, was not exactly
in the line OF Senatorial courtesy.

THE Gould family have removed from New
York city, and will take up their residence in
the country. They are too poor to pay the
personal property tax imposed by the city.
The late Jay Gould, founder of the family,
paid taxes on 100000. but after his death
this was increased to s1O,OOO.O 900, the annual
tax on which amounts to S1s0.000. The tax
dodgers are not all dead yet. 1t is only when
one of these multimillionaires dies that the
people learn how much he should have con-
tributed as his share OF the public burden,
but it is astonishing how successful they are
in evading it.
