FROM THE POPE.
His Views as to de ELECTION q
His Successor.

London, Mag 81 Dispatch
to the Standard 4rom Iso,ne
says that the pope has sent
to all cardinals, heads Of or
ders. etc, a document referring
to the political conditions III
the papacy, which takes tie
form of his political. testament.
His holiness reviews the history
of his accession to the see of
St. Peter and makes a warm
dppeal to The cardinals at any
further coiirlare to keep his
ideal before them and CONTINUES
the policy he hitherto pursued.
He requests the cardinals- 10
hasten the election Of the next
pope as much as possible SOFAS
to give no time for outside in
rigue or jealousy of the powers
to influence in any way the
free votes Of the cardinals or to
place difficulties in the way of
the newly elected pope.
The whole drift of the docu
ment is to secure as his policy
and efface at the moment of
the eonclave the divergenees at
present existing.

ANOTHER MONOPOLY DEAD.

II is a source OF satisfaction to know that
the Bell telephone monopoly has finally been
beaten in the Supreme Court and that the
patents with which il has been robbing the
public have been declared invalid. Every
dollar used in expensive litigation, 10 buy up
State legislatures and 10 accumulate mann
moth fortunes has been squeezed out OF tele-
phone patrons. Its days of piracy are prac-
tically over and that there will be cheaper
telephones.
Notwithstanding the fact that the tele-
phone and its success originated in this
country. patrons here have been charged
nearly twice as much for service as in
other countries Il will fake some time
for this condition TO change, but if the pub
lie is on its guard prices will eventually
come down 10 an honest business basis
No other enterprise ever welded such un-
serupulous power as the Bell monopoly. 1t has
bulldozed ard bought legislatures 10 prevent
adverse legis alton. and perpetuated its pat
ents 10y questionable means. All the tricks
Of unfair methods are known to its manag-
ing agents. and they will be again employed
10 keep out competition.
Special efforts will now be made by the
Bell company TO obtain exclusive franchises.
Better prices will be offered, city councils
purchased, and officials bribed to strengthen
its foothold. The business experience and
long-established service will also give the
Bell company an advantage over competi-
tors. Bat. all things equal, competitors
should be given the choice.

1T WAS A LONG TIME.

This time President Cleveland was obliged
70 wait longer than usual for the Governor
OF North Carolina TO say something. The
suspense must have been terrible, but the de-
lay was necessary TO sign the appropriation
bills. Therefore Mr.. Cleveland was com
pelled TO subordinate personal qualification
TO public duty, WHICH illustrates the supe-
uority Of a great mind over preponderosity
Of matter.
But The President made quick work OF it
after the bills we're signed. At noon Mon
day Congress adjourned. and yesterday
morning he disappeared. swallowed up ap-
parentiy by a consuming desire TO shoot
ducks. and incidentally take something TO
keep of malaria. Nearly 200 Congressman
visited the White House after the Presidents s
departure. presumably 10 receive his con-
gratuIations, and if looks are unspoken
volumes their angry faces portrayed whole
libraries. as they were turned down by Sec
retary Thurber.
However. that will make no difference TO
Mir Cleveland. He cares neither for their
looks nor their utterauces. Nor does he
borrow trouble over anything but his own
pleasures. That part OF his epidermis
wherein his sensibility to public or private
opinion lies is more iavulnerable than a
Carnegie armor plate. Neither the pleadings
OF a needy public nor the clamoring Of a
critical press are of more importance to
him than the hum OF gnat: and the advice
OF statesmen and the demands OF q country
possess no more value in his estimation than
the twitter OF n sparrow.
But when it comes 10 gold bond sales and
sporting recreation. President Cleveland may
be considered authority. His consequence
rs a fnancier consists principally in furnish
ing opportunities for banker friends, and his
reputation as duck hunter is based chiefly
on a faculty for disappearing at convenient
and stated intervals
This last excursion to the North Carolina
marshes was untimely and deplorable. Much
Of the business Of Congress remains for
President Cleveland to look after, and the
disappointment 10 his Congressional friends
who desired TO say good-by is also TO be
considered. But what does President Grover
carec

1T WAS MURDER.

The shooting OF Reuben Foster by Officer
Green at Anacostia was cruel and unneces-
sary. Foster was escaping arrest; his ofIense
was trivial, and he had offered no resistance.
His death was an unproyoked and mex
cusable murder.
Generally speaking, officers seldom use
deadly weapons, except in self defense.
Prisoners are frequently allowed TO escape
because of the refusal of their captors TO
shoot then down without provocation. 1t
is this natural regard for human life that
prevents good officers from acting on i'm
pulse. and it is to be regretted that Officer
Green was ever clothed with police author
ity.
But his status as an officer should not pro-
tect him from punishment Nor should the
alleged bad reputation of his victim palliate
the crime. Life is too valuable to be saeri-
feed in such a manner and the shooting too
cruel to Justify any excuse
Ex-PolicemRn Terry is now serving three
years in the penilentiary for shooting and
eventually killing Willis Washington. an
inof1ensiye colored man, under circumstances
almost similar to the present one A few
more sentences, for longer terms, will have
a wholesome effect upon the few policemen
in Washington who would rather shoot than
capture, by chase, prisoner.

CHRISTIAN MAN IN SOCIETY.
Rev. George W. Douglas breaches a Spe.
cial Sermon on This Theme.

Rev. George W. Douglas breaches n Spe-
cial SERMON on This Theme.
"The Christian man in society was the
subject of a special sermon preached at st.
Johns Church last night by Rev. George
William Douglas, former pastor of that
congregation. 1t was the first of series
ofsermons TO b. preached Tuesday evenings
during Lent, under the auspices of the
Churchman'S League.
He spoke OF the elements that go toward
making up society as it exists to-day in the
land, and especially in Washington. where
there are brought together 10y the legisla-
tive and administrative bodies people from
all parts ofthe country, many of them from
districts that have been settled for what in
America is long time, and where society
in all its branches has steadily progressed.
He spoke OF the business men, men who
devote their days of work and their even
~fngs of thought to the one engrossing pas
sion of business, which they have allowed
to master their lives. For them home life
is pleasant, but there is not time for it; re-
Iigion is good, bat it can be postponed until
another time. They must be balancing
books, taking stock, watching the markets.
or projecting new schemes TO get ahead of
others who are working on the same lines
with them.
He then spoke of the Christian man in So
ciety, his aims. and his accomplishments,
and the good he could and does do

EcKINGTON'S NEW CHURCH.
Alliance of Presbyterian Ministers Ha
Made Arrangements for Fine Edifice

Alliance of Presbyterian Ministers Has
Made Arrangements for Fine Edifice.
The lexington Presbyterian Church will
be the next fruit of the missionary spirit
of the Presbyterian Church of the District.
This is the result Of some negotiation re-
Gently had by the Alliance of Presbyterian
Ministers, and whose principal object is
to sustain churches and to plant new ones.
The lexington church will cost at first
in the neighborhood of $12, 600, work to be
commenced very hortly. The location
selected is the lot at the corner of G street
and Florida avenue northeast, having been
bought by Messrs. Davidson & Davidson.
There is no Presbyterian church within a
half mile of this site. The neighborhood
is growing rapidly in population and mate
rial resources, and in the opinion of the al
lance it is fair field for favor to the Pres
byterian aggressive spirit.
The president Of the alliance is the Hon.
John w. Foster, ex-Secretary of State.
There will be no meeting of the association
this month and none in the summer The
first of the public meetings this year will
be held in December.

GoUNoD's THE REDEMPTION"
One of the Composers Masterpieces Su.
perbiy Sung BY the Choral Society.


THE, Redemption, which was sung by
the Choral Society last night, is the work
on which that organization may safely
claim the honors OF the season.
1t was given at Congregational Church.
All the seats Were reserved, all were taken.
and numbers OF people We're satisfied with
merely standing room. at
With the exception, perhaps, of the solo
OF the Virgin in the first part and the
,chorus &. in the finale none Of its
music is familiar 20 the public, the work
having been competed by Gounod as late
as1SS2. The intention OF the composer was
to illustrate in music the events immedi-
ately preceding and following the sublime
tragedy OF the crucifixion and the intensely
dramatic features of the act of the cruci-
fiXion itself.
The recitative is rich in melodic quality,
there are quite a number ofconceTted pieces,
several graceful melodies, and many cho-
ruses which approach the sublime in musi-
cal conception and execution
The burden OF the recitative falls in the
male parts upon the bass and tenor-Mr
Bernard A. Ryan and Mr.. William ]. Caul-
field. The utterances of Jesus were sung
by Mr.. Henry NJ. Paul, who delivered
Christ's passages with great emotional
feeling, and especially the Arise and
Hear in the second part. There are two
exquisite solos-that of the Virgin, while
My Watch Am Keeping" sung by Miss
May Corby, alto, and "Ye Mountains, >"
sung by Miss Blanche Mattingly, soprano
The angels solo in the second part, by Miss
Blanche L. Rueckert, was expressively
rendered
Among the concerted pieces the quartet
He Has Said TO All the Unhappy" Just
before the last chorus, is perhaps the
choicest of the hamonies. 1t was sung
by Miss Mattingly and Miss Laura Zeh
THE Redemption was sung by $50
voices 1t was conducted by Mr.. Josef
Kaspar, the organ was played by Mr. John
Porter Lawrence, and the piano by Mr..
Joseph F. Thomas.
All the choruses We're enthusiastically
received by the audience The leading
parts were sung by Miss Mary Helen Howe,
Miss Mamie Donnelly, Miss Blanche r.
Mattingly, Miss Maria L. Maddren. Miss
Blanche L. Rueckert, Miss May L. Corby,

GUNSHoPS WILL CLOSE.
No Appropriation for This Work at the
Washington Navy Yard.

About 800 men will be discharged at the
navy yard early in September as the
north and south gun shops will be closed
at that time
Times reporter called at the Bureau of
Ordnance yesterday and found that the
report that all of the shops at the navy yard
would be closed, is erroneous The rea-
son for closing the gun shops is that there is
no appropriation in the new naval bill for
guns for the new ships.
The work in the gun shops will be COM
pleted by September, and of necessity they
will have to be closed
There are still the gunmounts to be made
for the Oregon, the Indiana. the Massa-
chusetts, the Iowa, and the Brooklyn,
all of which are in process of construction
in private yards, and for the Maine. the
monitors Puritan, Amphitrite, and Mon
adnock. and the Texas, which are being
built in the government yards.
The work in all of the shops at the navy
yard, with the single exception of the gun
shops, will last throughout the year and
perhaps longer.

TEE RIMETALLIc MANIFESTO.

The manifesto of the bimeiallic party is
another futile attempt to organize against
business interests and in opposition to COM
mon sense.
The talk of gold party is the rankest Of
demagogy. Conditions demand that pay
nents TO foreign countries be made in gold
bullion, and the legal tender and Treasury
notes have given gold gamblers the power to
manipulate our Treasury and destroy public
confidence.
To change these conditions by pronuncia-
mento is like standing ladder against the
moon. Or 10 attempt to restore public con-
hdence 10y organizing new party is as wild
vagary as would be the leyeling OF a
mountain with shingle.
Until Europe viii accept silver at parity
with gold we must continue to use gold
bullion in payment Of foreign demands.

LEAGUE BASKETBALL GAMES.

New Arrangement of Final Contests
Meeting Last Night at C A C.
A special meeting of the Basketball
League was held at the Columbia Athletic
Club house last night.
The chief business before the meeting was
the rearrangement of the remaining games
in the League series, made necessary by the
proposed withdrawal Of the c. l. team.
On account of the absence Of several Of the
delegates, especially those from the Carroll
Institute, the letter Of withdrawal Of the lat
ter was not acted upon.
It was decided to hold another meeting at
the c. A. C. on Friday evening at S O'Clock,
which meeting all delegates, including c. l.,
are urged TO attend 10 take action on the
communication OF the latter.
On Saturday evening OF this week the
scheduled game between W. A C. and c. 4
C. will be played in the gymnasium OF the
latter.
On the 18th instant the tie game between
W. A. c. and VI. L. 1. will be played on in the
clubhouse of the former.
The final game OF the League series, un-
less there should be other ties before that
dale, will be played at c. A C. between the
home team and W. L. 1. on the 18th instant.
