DALLAS PASTOR MUST GO.
He Opposed the PrizO Fight and is Com
PEELED to Resign His Pulpit.

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. REV c. I.
Schofeld has rendered his resignation
as pastor of the First Congreg ational
church, having accepted the charge of
the church at Mortified, Mass.
To large extent Rev. Mr. Schof1eld's
sudden resignation is identified with the
suppression of prize fighting in Dallas.
He was the most actives member OF the
Dallas Pastors association, which SO en-
ergeticaily made war on the Corbett-
FiIzsimmons and other matches sched-
uled at Dallas. His attitude was not b.
any meaus satisfactory to the more con-
servative members of his congregation
from among the business men OF Dallas,
and a change of pastorates is one OF the
sequels. His salary was $4,000 year.

AN EXTRA sEsaIoN.

IL is claimed that pressure is being
brought to bear on President Cleveland

Whether true or not, Congress should be
assembled. the income tax repealed, the
deficiency in the Treasury made good. and
q measure enacted 10 withdraw green
backs anc supply their places with better
kind OF currency.
ANY law that exempts from taxation
the incomes OF rent-conecting. bond-clip-
ping gentlemen OF leisure, and levies on
the earnings OF people who create pros
perity, ought not 10 remain on our statutes.
Such an unfair discrimination cannot be
too quickly righted, and in justice TO the
producing class the income tax ought TO
be repealed at the earliest possible mo-
ment
The greenbacks should be Withdrawn from
circulation 50 that gold gamblers would
find it more difficult TO raid our treasury.

would not be so apparent, but the loss Of
revenue through the failure OF the income

10 force another loan through the use Of
greenbacks.
An extra session OF a Republican Congress
would not be a pleasant thing for President
Cleveland TO deal with, but the emergency

Performances of the Cruiser Minneapolis
as TO Speed and Coal Cons umption

Performance of the Cruiser Minnea polls
as TO Speed and Coal Cons umption
One Of the considerations which influ-
enced Engiueer,in-Ch Melville in sup
plying tho Minneapolis with three screws,
which has been rather overlooked in the
contemplation OF her achievements in high
speed, was an economical performance at
medium speed, a most important consider
alton in n cruising vessel.
Reports just received from the vessel
which is now attached to Admiral Meade's
squadron in the West Indies indicate
that the calculations of the designer were
well founded and that the ship is not only
very speedy, but also more economical
than the twin screw ships i'll the coal con-
sumption.
The squadron started from Trinidad on
March IS, for La Guayra, and n careful
watch was instituted on the coal consump-
ton OF the ships a the cruising speed of
g knots per hour When they arrived
at La Guayra, it was found that the Min
neapols had made the run on twenty tons
OF coal per day less than the crack New
York.

TO San Domingo. Admiral Meade signaled
his ships TO go ahead with all the speed
boiler power, which was then onehalf,
the squadron going l3 knots, and 10 keep

The screw of the Minneapolis began TO

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

The Government Printing Office should
not be placed under civil service rules
without the approval OF Columbia Typo
graphical Union. If that body desires TO
give certain printers lifetime positions 10
the exclusion OF the rest OF the craft the
public viii not complain But the union
should be consulted before the order is pro-
mulgated
It is believed by competent authority
that Mr.. Benedict is conducting the office in
such a manner as TO give the best results
His merit system insures capable en-
ployes, ana naturally makes saving to the
Government. Compared TO the administra-
tions OF other public printers, the manage
ment OF Mr. Benedict must prove salts
factory, consequently there is no imme
date necessity Tor a change to civil service
rule
The Civil Service Commission is no
doubt responsible for this alleged reform
That little band OF civil service tyrants
assumes great powers when it comes 10
applying the law of which it is the
head center. From them President Cleve-
lane derives his reform inspiration, and if
they say civil service rules the Typo
graphical Union VIII hardly be consulted.
But IL would be courtesy. at least, to ask
the union what effect civil service rule in
the public printing office would have Oh

TEL. FLUCTUATIONS OF A METER.

IL is said that under atmospheric condi-
tons gas meters are unreliable. This
assertion no doubt applies when gas com
panies are honest Washington gas me-
tiers are unlike the ordinary kind, for they
are both reliable and unreliable; to gas
consumers they can be depended upon TO
indicate a large gas bill, but the Washing
ton Gas Monopoly finds them so different
and so unreliable that their record is
changed to suit the complaints of con
sumers
The chart published this morning shows
the fluctuations OF a meter that recorded
gas used for heating purposes. The
same number and the same burners were
used continuously twenty-1our hours each
day They We're never extinguished, yet
the gas bills range from SIS TO S31 per
month
IL any person IN Washington, outside the
gas monopoly, can explain why these bills
should show such variation, with gas at
the same price, and used continuously
under The same conditions, The Times
would like TO publish the explanation.
Some months the gas cost Sc cents day,
and other months the average was 81 OF
per day Study the chart for yourselves,
anc learn the unreliability OF gas meter:

A GOSSIP. MoNeER,s APOLOGY.

The apology OF Doctor Lansing may be
satisfactory to himself, but it lacks the ring
or sincerity and is half-hearted admission
OF asininity. When man inadvertently
does wrong anc is brought to account there
is no mistaking the language OF his attempt
70 make reparation. When gossip
monger commits an offense and is caught at
1t he generally iumbles an apology with
eickening defense of his error.
II is quite plain that Doctor Lansing's
accusation that President Cleveland is a
drunkard was made on hearsay evidence,
and his apology should have been clear cut
and without self justification. Ministers are
looked upon as opponents Of manly princi-
pies, and when they prove to be such rank
gossip-mongers az Doctor Lansing, they
deserve TO be expelled from the pulpit.

DIR. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., delivered an
address on the status of labor organizations
in this country, describing particularly
the American Federation of Labor. the
knights of Labor, the several railroad
labor organizations and the Debs' Ameri-
can Railway Union. He considered the
dissensions between the companies and the
employees as having their origin in a con-
fusion Of principles and purpose. He
stated how this sort OF dissenSion has
weakened the Federation of Labor and has
almost wrecked the Knights of Labor
