THE MORTON CADETS
They Put Up a Splendid Drill in Front o
the Arlington.
Every Movement Was Executed With
Ciockhke Precision-The Company
Photographed.

Inc public has now no reason to wonder
why, the Morton Cadets took second prize
at Memphis. Their drill in front of the
Arlington last night showed the prof.
ciency OF the company in every move
ment' and although the drill was not as
nne as that put up on the field at Mem
phis, still 1t demonstrated to every ones
mind the fact that the Mortons are one of
the best military companies that have ever
drilled here Captain Shilling had four
full fours under his command, attired in
the same uniform in which they were in
spected and In which they drilled at Mem
phis. with the exception of white duck
trousers in place of the regulation govern
ment trousers.
Every Movement Was Good.
Forty men constituted the drill team
ana they were marched on the space in
front OF the hotel at $40. great deal
OF difhculty was experienced in getting
sufhcient space in which to drill and the
company was compelled to march around
and force the crowd back several times in
order to acquire the necessary room in
which to maneuver. A short rest was
given before the drill commenced. and
then the order attention" was given by
Captain Shilling and the drill had begun,
Company and platoon movements and
everything in the school of the company
except set-up exercises was gone through
with. The manual was executed at open
ranks and the manner in which the bows
handled their pieces was something worth
seeing. The movements were in quick and
double, the two maneuvers which seemed
to take the fancy of the audience being
company right or left from a march and
company halt from double time Both of
these were done with precision and in
exact cadence. and the applause was
deafening after each one had been COM
pleted. In the platoon movements the two
leutenants, Tralies and Robinson, showed
that they knew exactly what they were
doing, and, in fact, every man in the COM
pany knew just what was required of him
at every command, and the result was
cloekwork precision in everything
The firing was somewhat ragged at first
but the last volley was all that could lie
required. When Capt. Shilling gave the
command, Tie down." there was general
chorus of regrets, for every one knew that
tact with the not-over-clean street The
company went down as one man, how
ever. and the firing In that position was ex-
cellent The drill lasted about an hour
and the boys were pretty well worn out
by the heat and exertion by the time it was
finished. The crowd was exceedingly large
and filled the space around the Arlington
Hotel to overfowing. They were very lib
eral in their applause, and showed that
they thought great deal of their trim lit
tie soldier boys. Capt. Shilling was nat
urally as cool as a cucumber and handled
his company in excellent fashion.

THE CABLE CARS.

They Gave Way to Allow the Sixth
Cavalry to Cross Their Tracks.
President Dunlop having given notice
that today the cable cars would run on
schedule time, despite the parade. the peo-
pie of Washington went down town this
morning curious to see how he was going
to do it. The difficulty. II there was to be
any, was not expected to come from the
District Commissioners. Their talked-of
notice to the Washington and Georgetown
Company to stop its cars during the parade
today was not even mailed to Mr.. Dunlop.
The only anticipation of real trouble was
from the possible clash of Col Gordon 8
troopers from Fort Myer. They on this oc-
casion were the United States. They knew
no north, no south, 10 east, no west, no
cable no trolley, no "hoss car" no bobtail.
II these brave cavalrymen should be or
dered to take the whole wide avenue in
their movements they would be likely to
do it, and unless by some miraculous inter-
position of Providence the laws governing
the fmpenetrability of matter should be
suspended a clash would result between
the cable cars and the horsemen. Happily
nothing Of the kind happened.
The cavalry formed on the north side of
9th street and the avenue and at the
proper time moved westward across Ith
street No notice was given the cars to
stop. The car company did not notify the
cavalry to halt until the cars had passed.
The "soger'' boys just simply went ahead,
and the cable gripman just naturally took
off his grip and put on his brake. For two
or three minutes Mr.. Dunlop, If he had
been there, would have seen the schedule
suspended. The same thing happened
moment later, when the column crossed the
tracks of the avenue line and proceeded
along the south side of the thoroughfare.
The cable cars banked up six or eight deep
on each side of the point of crossing both
on 1th street and the avenue, and when
the troops had passed they quickly got on
into schedule position. At 18th street the
usual choke was avoided by the column
passing south and west of the Trea sury
building and so all possible difficulty with
the cars was avoided at that point. During
the entire march the column kept south
of the railway tracks, and seemed to have
quite all the room necessary, and no acct
dents occurred. Meantime the crowds were
being bowled along merrily, Arlington
wards, with speed and capacity that soon
made the streets down town look deserted
This, considering the heat and dust, was
mercy to the countless numbers of women
and children and old veterans who were
out for the day. The sixth cavalry, Mr.
Dunlop and the people of Washington are
to be congratulated on the happy, balmily
peaceful outcome of the affair.

Washington Scores Seven.

Boyd opened up the eighth with a single
to center, and Crooks followed with a
similar hit to left, Boyd going to third and
Crooks to second on the throw-in. Abbey
received the next pitched full in the right
side and was knocked PROSTATE. He soon
recovered. however, and the bases were
filled with nobody out.
Anderson hit to third, forcing Boyd at the
plate, but Selbach was equal to the occa-
sion, and hit to center, scoring Crooks and
Abbey. Joyce was also in the game, he
attesting that fact with a double to right
in which Anderson crossed the rubber with
the tying run. Hassamer redeemed his
poor work at short by clean hit to center
and two more runs were jotted down in
favor of the SchmelZites To keep up with
the procession Mcclure sent a corker to
left on which Hassamer went to third
MCGUIRE was caught between first and Sec
ond, but clever base running prevented a
put out. Mr.. Cartwright next advanced
to the bat and pushed the sphere past the
pitcher and far into center field, Hasa

MORE REVENUE NEEDED.

The condition OF the Treasury VIII largely
influence the coming campaign. Re
ceipts for To fiscal year up to May / show
an income Of $500 900 600, while expendi-
tures have amounted to S3O5 900 900,
leaving a deficit Of $40 900 900. The new
sugar duties have realized only about
$50 600 600, when it was expected that
they would bring at last 40 900 900 into
the Treasury. The income tax will also
fail 10 meet expectations, aud indications
point to the necessity Of the enactment
Of a measure to replenish our Treasury at
the next session of Congress.
Such an event would reopen the tariff
discussion, and to a great extent side-track
the silver question. Free silver would
not add TO our revenues, and as it is i'm
portant TO have auincome sufficient TO meet
expenditures, that issue would necessarily
demand the attention OF the public
The tidal silver wave that is rolling over
the country is the most welcome OF political
happenings. The monetary problem should
be understood by every voter, for its sat
isfactory solution is necessary to the
safety OF all our industries. The tariff
comprehends the collection of revenue, and
is largely a question of calculation. But
general prosperity and the stability Of
trade depend upon a sound and reliable
currency Let the silver question be

"INsULT TO INJURY"

Department Commander Thayer, of the
G. A r. of Massachusetts, makes mistake
in issuing letter 10 Grand Army posts
requesting them TO demonstrate against
the dedication of a monument at Chicago
next Memorial Day 10 the memory of the
Confederate dead. In the letter he makes
use Of The folio wing remarkable language:
Comrades, the blood of our martyred
Lincoln, of our noble Grant, and OF all
the men who struggled in freedoms cause
cries out in protest against this bias
phemy. il is not within my province TO
issue in general orders a command to our
posts 10 take action condemning this pro-
posed performance, but ] sincerely hope
that the comrades of this department VIII
IN no uncertain manner place themselves on
record as resenting such exercises
Human nature is the same North or South,
in American or in Hottentot, and it is
natural for mankind to honor the memory
Of the dead, especially those slain in bat
tie. The South has long since sheathed the
sword and acknowledged fealty TO this
government, but her sons lost in the Con-
federate cause are as dear TO memory as are
the martyrs who died to save the Union
Certainly there can be no harm in erecting
monuments 10 their bravery, and to per-
petuate their names to future generations
Had the South conquered the North it
is fair 10 believe that the fiery Com
mander Thayer would still have been
denouncing the war and wrapping the
Stars and Stripes around his bullet-scarred
body. 1t is no worse for the South to
remember the deeds of her fallen dead
than for the North to praise the heroes
OF the Union, and it is certainly more
praiseworthy that Dixie's sons and daugh-
tiers keep green the memory of their Con-
federate dead than that they allow these
graves TO lie uDnoticed and forgotten.
There can be such thing as blatant,

Ladies' Aid Society of st. Marks
Elects Officers.
The Ladies' Aid Society of st. Marks
Church met in the reception rooms at
Third and H streets southeast last night,
elected officers, and held the usual social
meeting that follows the election.
The board of officers chosen was the
same as served last year, most of whom
have held their places for long time.
The occasion showed how strong hold
the Torbert faction has on the membership
at st. Marks
1t was their night to comfort them
selves for the disappointment of hav-
ing the rector declare openly on Monday
night his stand in favor of the vestry
elected by the Earnshaw faction.
The officers reelected for the aid So
ciety are: j. p. Torbert, president; Mrs
Frank Smith, vice president; Miss Bessie
Chew, secretary, and Mrs. j. P Torbert,
treasurer. The executive committee is as
follows: Mrs. S. G. Ramage, Mr.. John II.
Chew, Mrs. S. B. Roane, Mrs E. F. Howe,
and Mrs. Paul Steele. The last two take
the places of Mrs. F. r. Wallace and Mrs
Goodwin.
The Aid Society has raised in the past
year about $3.50 for payment on the
church debt. This is at present the sole
object of the society, and it has the hearty
support OF nearly the entire membership
at the parish church. The rector strongly
urges all members to join it, although
il is headed by the faction whose vestry
ne refused to recognize.

MI. Enoch Pratt, one of BaItimore's

proposition to the Middle States conference.

to recommend il for that purpose, though
Baltimore, no doubt, would be glad TO en-
tertain the Unitarians. There is no place
SO well adapted to such conventions, or, for
thatmatter, to all conventions of a national
character, as Washington. This fact has
been so frequently emphasized that there
