In Certain Directions.
WASHINGTON. March lo-The postoffice
department has information OF the for
mstisn Of q powerful combination Of
postal employees, designed 70 bring pressure
upon congress to ovsrturn certain regu-
lations and rules of the department.
The employees have been encouraged by
success In attaching TO the last postofhce
appropriation bill an amendment which
suspended an order Of the department
This order was issued last June, and di-
rooted that by May I, 1895. all railway
mail service employees should remove 20
some point along the line Of the route ON
which he was employed. This was unsat-
isfactory TO some OF the clerks and they
obtained legislation overruling tho erdor.
The reason for issuing the order Is ex-
planned at the department as necessary, be-
cause at the time the order was Issued
there were about 1900 Of the 1000 clerks Ia
the service who did not live on the lines
whore they worked.
The Departments Is now informed that
since the failure of legislation In the last
congress increasing the pay OF the em
ployes, combination has been formed
to pass this legislation and also TO over
turn orders and rules of the department
which are unsatisfactory to them.
A high official OF the department. said
yesterday: This combination includes
some thousands OF employees in the rail-
way mail service, the letter carriers scrv-
ice and the pestofilces They ere all In the
classified service and protected from re
moval The aggregate amount OF the In
crease demanded is about &c. .O0o,0
zone effect of this combination would
be to create sentiment against the civil
service law which protects these employees.
How formidable the combination may be-
come Is matter of conjecture. but the
whole affair Ia the result Of congressional
legislation To overturn the rules and regu'
lations Of the department as affecting It's
employees"

could not well be imagined. The qualifi-
cations for the one are based upon con-
ditions altogether different from those
OF the other. A man may be u very ex-
cellent excise commissioner and yet know
very little about the value of real estate
in different parts OF the city. Assuming.
however, that the duties could be rec
onciled, it mast be clear to everybody
that the assessment of values and the
changes which have to be made in it by
reason OF protests, reyisioGs, and other
causes, will consume all the time that is
at the disposal of those charged with the
task.
OF course, as the Commissioners say in
their annual report, the assistant assess-
ors are peculiarly well-fit:ed to perform
the duties of an excise board, because OF
their familiarity with the locations, which
enables them to judge whether 1T would
be advisable to grant saloon license in
certain place or not. But that is no
reason why this labor should be put upon
them, especially when any other three
officers of the District government, whose
time is less fully occupied than that OF the
assessors, could do it just as well.

AS AN INVESTMENT.

Generally, sensible persons desire to know
where their money is going when placing
it in other hands, and also what results
their investment will bring, hut there are
others who seem 10 prefer the dark and
mysterious methods of professional stock
sharps.
The acetylene scheme may be all right.
AS an Investment it may be a better money
maker than any similar enterprise, and
as public benefactor in cheapening arti-
ficial light IL may prove our greatest bless
ing, but what is there to substantiatc such a
claim? Its promoters cannot even satisfac-
toriiy demonstrate its cost. II is not man

The man who casts his money into the fire

vests 1t in mysterious stock specuiations
requires considerable time and patience to
ascertain What has become of it.

FIRE-PROOF STRUCTURES.

1t is a disagreeable fact, but a fact
nevertheless. that the construction OF So
called fireproof buildings only serves to
demonstrate the fact that there is none
such. In other words they burn just as
readily. given the right sort of fire, as
any other less pretentious structure. Sew
eral instances are on record of late of
huge tenements. which were believed to
be entirely fireproof. shriveiing up in The
flames like so much paper.
Modern architecture has made rcmarka-
bic advances in the direction OF constructing
buildings which offer reasonab bly, effective
resistance to a conflagration. When it sum-
mons its best resources it comes very
near the line of comparative perfection,
but il has not yet safely reached the goal
Even gra mite will crumble, and steel
girders and beams get twisted If the con-
flagration be OF sufficient duration and
the heat of sufficient intensity.
The absolutely fireproof building will
come. for human ingenuity will not be
satisfied until it has mastered the ele-
ments and all the difficulties they pre-
sent to man. Meanwhile. however, 1t
will be best to take every precaution when
erecting large and tall buildings. with
complicated corridors and stairways, to
leave the security of human life as little
as possible to chance.

who held Mr. Paynes proxy, that gen

he was authorized by his principal to
withdraw the proposition, and by unau-
imOus consent il was agreed that this
should be done. =
The usual committee, empowered to
make all arrangements for the conven-
ton, was then appointed, consisting of
the executive committee and the follow
ing additional members: Messrs. Evans
of Minnesota. Lamb OF Virginia, Boynton
OF South Carolina. Clayton of Arkansas,
Scott or West Virginia, Huston Of 1u-
diana. Long OF Florida, anu Leland OF
Kansas.
The question of increasing the represen-
tation in the convention OF the Territories
was presented. in line with the sction which
gave New Mexico and South Dakota six
delegates in the last convention. A reso-
luton, offered by Mr.. Carey Of Wyoming,
was adopted, giving, in addition To the
representation now authorized by the rules
OF the national convention for the Terri
tories of Utah, New NJ exico, Oklahoma and
Arizona, four delegates, and the admis sion
OF such additional delegates to the con-
vcntion was recommended.
MRS. FOSTERS ADDRESS.
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster was invited, on
motion OF MT. GARRISON, VINO spoke
OF her as ''the best Republican in the
United States,'' to address the committee.
She urged upon the members the neces-
sitiy of encouraging and extending among
women the work in behalf of Republican
principles.
As an evidence OF its Importance she men
toned that had it not been fnr the votes of
the women In Colorado. Mr.. Wolcott would
not have been returned to his seat in the
senate. The only protection document cir
culated under Congressional frank since
the present administrati tiou came into power,
Mrs. Foster said, was the repnrt of the
hearing ofsixteen workin g women, which she
had brought tu this city, before the Senate
Committee on Finance. Woman suffrage,
she said, was 4 coming fact and the Re-
publicans would be wise If they made love
to them before their political affections
were engaged elsewhere.
At this meeting of the executive coin
mittee, which included also the members
added to make the convention committee.
the duty of making all the arrangements for
the convention was deyoived upon a sub
committee, consisting of Mr.. Manley, of
Maine, chairman; Mr. Holm uf Ohio, secre-
tary; Nessrs. Carter OF Montana, Clarksou
of Iowa. Clayton of Arkansas, Kereus of
Missouri, and Campbell of Illinois.
The committee then adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman.

AGAINST A PURITAN SUNDAY.
Churchman'S League Criticised by
Two COrrt,S n,uC eutS

Editor Times: In behalf of the tpilers
kindly let me say that they want no such o
Puritan Sunday law as The Churchman'S
League, as reported in your columns today,
is trying TO formulate.
Workingmen prefer to observe Sunday
as a holiday instead Of holy day; that is
as real rest day" instead OF day
when they shall be ensiaved TO the theo-
logical or seCtariaD whims of others.
So far as Sunday differs from week days
1t is either holiday or a holy day. Hence,
all legislation concerning its observance
must be on the ground either that it is q
holiday or a holy day.
A holy day is necessarily a religious or
church day. If there were no religion or
no church, there would be 10 holy day.
Hence, legislation for the observance of
Sunday as holy day is religious Iegisla
ton, that is, it is legislation for the es-
tablishment OF religious or church OBJ
seryance and, therefore, for an establish
meDt of religion itself. The Federal Con-
stitutiop strictly forbids this by saying:
Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment or religion Hence, we
want, not a Furitanicai holy day Sunday
but zeal holiday Sunday, like the Fourth
of July or WasfiDgton's Birthday, with no
penalties for work or other moral action.
When Himself accused by the self-right-
eous Pharisees OF Sabbath breaking, Christ
said: 1T is lawful to do good on the Sab
bath" And $50 ii should always be. Yours,
for justice and the Constitution,
Editor Times: The Churchman'S League
of the District of Columbia is trying to
devise and formulate such legislation
as will be conducive to better observance
of Sunday" If they will advocate a bill
requiring that all labor done upon the Sab
bath shall be paid for at double the usual
rates, get a law passed TO that effect and
see that the 'tusual rates" are not cut
down low enough to make Sunday work
profitable, they will come nearer accom-
plishing their aim than in any other way.
No system of fines on conviction in court
will be half SO potent.
Make Sunday work Improbable il you
want to abolish it, and make no exceptions
to the rule Let the few suffer for the

NO WONDER THEY COMPLAIN.

II is no wonder the bond bill speculators
charge The Times with attempting to stir
up" a class war in this city and array
one citizen against another" Heretofore
these smooth gentlemen have thrust their
schemes on the public without ne wspaper
opposition, and to find themselves fearlessly
denounced and their methods exposed is
70 them an extraordinary and presuinptuous
proceeding.
Yes, The Times has stirred up "class
other, but the war is une-sided, so far as
numbers are concerned, and a great ma
5ori,y ur the population is arrayed against
the bond bill promoters and their efforts
to burden the city with an enormous debt
No reasonable citizen opposes necessary

Juiiciously expended in the interests of
public health and to promote public well

Bat the use OF public funds To improve pri-

DISMISSED THE CHARGES.
Homeopathic College Directors Meet
and Accept designations.

The troubles at the National Homeo-
pathic Medical College were settled last
night at meeting of the new board of
trustees of that institution. AT least this
is the information given out by a member
of the trustees after the meeting.
There has been disturbance not only
among the students but also among the
professors the particulars Of which have
been given in The Times.
One of the professors has resigned, two
designations are now in the hands of the
trustees without action. and the resigna-
ton OF a third member of the teaching staff
has been prepared but was not presented
last evening.
President Zalmon Richards was in the
chair last night, and il is said that the
meeting was very stormy at times, and
that a good deal OF the dissepsion has been
over unimportant matters.
DR.. Storr Parsons sent in his resigna-
ton three weeks ago and the board ac-
copied 1t last night. This physician was
member of the dental faculty. His place
was filled by the election of DIR. e. L.

DUTIES TO BE SEPARATED.

those of passing npon the advisability Of
