MONDAY EVENING. DEC. 9, 1895.

OF ALL absurdities, one of the most
ridiculous is the investigation now an
progress at the Washington navy yard
of the charge that the white gunners
there object to associating on terms OF
perfect social equality with the negro
members of their class, and the point OF
grotesqueness is reached when it Is
known that the investigation was
ordered by a Southern man, Sec
rotary Herbert. Why investigate
a natural fact2 Not only white
naval eunners, but all other white
people, whatever their calling OF
degree may be, object to social equality
with negroes, and if Mr Herbert be
not aware of that fact he has lost MS
mind.

s.eighty-three separate houses of vice
are allowed by the District authorities
to ply their calling. contrary to law,
between Pennsylvania avenue on the
north and the Smithsonian Park on the
south" That is pretty bad, to be sure,
but still, all reasonable people know it
is better that such places should be con-
fined to one locality, than to have
them scattered and disseminated
throughout all the more reputable parts
of the city.

THE STATE Board of Health, which
is creation of the State Medical So
ciety, will, according to a circular IS
sued from its Office in Richmond, ask
for a small appropriation. in order that
the wise purposes for which it was
created may be effected. As the State,
by "readjusting" her debt, and by in
creasing real estate in her cities, has
now a surplus in her treasury, she
can certainly afford to give something
to so laudable an object, and it is
hoped that the legislature may look
upon the request referred to in fav-
orable light.

He is strong speaker, at times rather
caustic in his remarks, but has keen
scent for fraudulent measures, and
when he discovers an irregulaIity,
doesn't hesitate to express himself as
clearly as the Queens English will
permit.
