The persistency Of The Washington Times
in keeping Up the warfare in the interests
of the people against the Gas Monopoly of
this city, must meet with the well wishes
of all honest citizens. and will undoubtedly
result in a glorious victory.
1t may not be generally known, but it is
still a fact, that if The Times adopted a
selfish business policy and dropped this
fight, its treasury would be thousands of
dollars better off. But the ruling power Of
The Times is not made of such selfish ma
teriaI, therefore it is in the fight to the
end, and nothing short Of an unconditional
surrender will be accepted.
The free gas and electric light muZzle
that fits so snugly on the other daily papers
of this city, which so well explains their
silence. never could nor never can be ap-
piled to The Times. and the hand that tried
TO adjust it got so badly bit in the attempt
that it will never try it again.

IT LOOKS LIKE A HARD STRUGGLE.

II must be admitted that the administra-
tion is in a precarious position. Appear
ances indicate that the Democratic party
will adopt a free silver platform, unless
there is n radical change of sentiment, and
should it do SO, the President and his
Cabinet viii have been publicly discredited.
Extraordinary preparations are being
made to prevent this catastrophy. The
Cabinet has been detailed to campaign
duty in the several critical States, and friends
of the President are everywhere endeavor-
ing TO bolster up the policy of his ad
ministration.
IN his present efforts to influence the
Democratic party Mr.. Cleveland repeats
his mistakes of the past. Men are the
same under all conditions, and they can
be led much easier than driven. Instead
of employing conciliatory methods and
attempting to guide rather than bnlldoze,
Mr.. Cleveland caused the silver Democrats
to adopt extreme measures, and is now
reaping his reward.
VIII lie Congress as in session the
President refused to recognize silver in
any way. He vetoed the seigniorage bill
when his signature 70 that measure would
have prevented the present complication
without in the least 1eopardizing our none

BucHANAN's LAST HOPE GONE.
Sir Julian Pauncefote Declines TO Inter

Sir JuIian PauncefOte Declines TO Inter
fere in Behalf of the Condemned.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Am
bassador, declines to interfere OH behalf
of Dr. Robert W. Buchanan, the New
York wife murderer, whose petition for
writ of error TO stay his execution during
the week beginning next Monday, was de
MED by the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
In letter from the British Embassy ad-
dressed to j. j. Noah, of Washington,
and George W. Gibbons, OF New York, the
counsel for Buchanan, Secretary Hugh
Gaugh says:
"The ground of your application is that
the prisoner was not accorded fair and
impartial trial in conformity with the
laws of the State OF New York and in com
pliance with the provisions of the Con
stitution of the United States. These OBJ
jections having been oyerruled after careful
investigation by the highest tribunal in
this country, his eXceilency is of opinion
that the case is not one which could justify
the interference of this Embassy"

tary system. His Chicago letter, lately
published. is another evidence of his
want of tact, and it is calculated TO make
bimetallists stnl greater enemies to his
administration.
President Cleveland could have created
friends by explaining the difference be-
tween national and International bimet-
allism, and the necessity OF waiting for
the cooperation of Europe. Without COM
promising himself in the least he might
have shown that il was better TO post
pone action until after the next interna-
tional monetary conference. But he thought
a contrary policy best, and it Will now be
exceedingly difficult 10 stem the tide of
popular disapproval.

The society ladies in charge of the admir-
able charity at the Newsboys Home promise
to make the flag presentation to night quite
a delightful event. 1t is not often that one
of our local charities receives such a hand
some bequest as $40, 600, given the News
boys Home, and there is pleasant and sub
stantial proof that many another lady re-
tains her interest i'll these waits, who men
meet in eddies around the street corners,
calling out the daily papers.
From the time of Chief Justice Waite, who
was the first president of the board of trus-
tees. till now, when Mr. Crosby Noyes fills
the position, perhaps no more interesting
event has occurred than is arranged for to-
night. The hundred ladies of the society
will be out in force to see the newsboys as
they march in, hundred strong, headed
by band and whiStling in their marvellous
way the Suwanee River and other popular
songs.
Such an opportunity to see their proteges
soorderly is not often offered, and the patri
otic societies, both ladies and gentlemen,
with their shining insignia, always lend in
terest to the events they are associated with
Under the name of Patriots Day the 18th
of April has recently been made q legal holi-
day in several States, principally through
the exertions of these societies; and some of
their national, as well as State meetings,
are held upon that day, so it is only natural
they should have a special interest in its
celebration in the National Capital. A group
OF young gentlemen of the West End have
consented to act as ushers, and a couple of
hundred written invitations have been sent
to the patrons OF the Home. So young and
old America will meet and celebrate very
different meeting between English speaking
people hundred and twenty years ago.

1t is the idea of the promoters that by
allowing the rest of the South TO know that
on the subject OF sound money the people
and merchants of Baltimore and Maryland
are practically unanimous, considerable
influence can be exerted over the Southern
States.

was caused in medical circles in this
State to-day by the expulsion from the
Georgia Medical Association Of DR.. W.
