Mrs. DAVIS not REPuDlATED.-Ihc dele
Gates from the Confederate camps in Rich
mond to the reunion of the United Confcder-
alto Veterans at birmingham, returned on
Saturday They Indignantly deny the state
mcnt made in Birmingham special that the
committee appointed at the New Orleans
meeting to secure pension for Mrs Jefferson
Davis recommended that tho movement be
dropped because she resides in New York.
Mayor Ellyson, who is president Of the
Davis Monument Association, said that the
report was rs far frcm the truth as possible.
What did occur was this: The committee, in
making their report, stated that they had
been unable to secure The necessary lcgisla-
ton from the southern States. because, in the
first place, the constitution of . number OF
these States forbade appropriations for pom
sions to any persons not residents of the State
and insothor States where the prohibition was
not expressed in the constitution, it was the
opinion of eminent lawyers that an appropria.
ton could not be made excep. to 4 resident.
The committee was discharged from further
consideration of the subject because of the
heal difficulties in tho way. There was no
reference TO the fact that Mrs. Davis resides
in New York and there is not the slightest
foundation for the report that the reunion
gave her the cold shoulder"

ST. CHARLES HOTEL BURNED.-A
few minutes before II o'clock Saturday
night fire broke out in the kitchen OF
the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans. a
large audience was leaving the St.
Charles Theatre at the time and in a
few minutes the widest excitement
prevailed in the street. -Four lives
were lost. One man, baker, leaped
from the fourth story and was almost
instantly killed, while four men and
one woman were seen to leap from the
iron staircase leading from tho rear Of
the building and were lost to view In
the court which looked to be almost a
solid mass of flames. One man made
his escape into the street, but nothing
was seen Of the others. 1t was also re-
ported that a child was missing, but
this lacks confirmation. The block Ct
the st. Charles Hotel was the most i'm
portant portion and was one of the
most valuable in New Orleans, contain
ing, besides the costly hotel, banks,
stores, railway Offices, one ofthe largest
turf exchanges in the country, and
finely furnished offices. The scene in
side the hotel at that time was one of
terror and confusion. Terror stricken,
hali-clad guests were flying from the
flames which were roaring behind them.
Some were dragging their trunks with
them and offered extravagant prices
for help to convey their valuables to a
place of safety. The building was
Quilted in short time. The loss is
estimated at from 100000 to 100000.

MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 80, 1894.

JUDGE BRADLEY Of the c. S. Court
in Washington. rendering decision
last Saturday, said 81 regard the civil
service law largely as farce. APP
pointees in the various departments are
subject to the will and discretion OF the
executive officers. The Supreme Court
has decided that appointments are not
made for life. 1t would be a most ex-
traordinary construction if the power
of removal did not exist, and this pow
or must rest in the heads of the de-
partments." Judges and juries alike,
aud the vast majority of the people OF
the country, irrespective of political
afiliation, decide the civil service law,
as administered, to be, not only hum
bug, but grotesquely absurd one. But
Congress is in mortal dread OF the
mugwumps, aud therefore allows 1t to
remain on the statute books.

TIE signal failure of the Tillman
scheme for restricting the use of liquor
in South Carolina tends to confirm the
opinion of all reasonable men, familiar
with the subject, that the most practl-
cable means Of eiiecting the desired OBJ
iect Is high license tax. Such tax
would break up all the low groggeries
the source of most of the alcoholic
evils the few who would pay it
would SEQ that so body else sold whis-
Ky. Il is impossible to stop the use OF
liquor by Law, but its use could be
greatly restricted by a high tax on
those who sell it. And such tax
would not only improve the morals
and manners ofthc people, but, if the
money collected by it in Virginia were
appropriated to the Improvement OF
streets and roads in the State, it would
prove blessing.
