IH what way the argument is ap. piled no matter how the subject is .s;..ed. the eoldite is sure to get the worst of the argument. There are many ways of putin the fifty cent doilsr argument, and the following from the Seattle Tines is worthy of consideration: "This story is going the rounds of she papers: A man bad $:OO in gold and $2O0 in silver, and he put them for safe keeping in his barn The barn burned down and the coins were melted. He took the metal to she silversmith and for the gold lump he received $20u. and for the silver lump only SOS. Therefore he became . gold standard man. We'll, we would suppose that man who kept bis money in his barn might be convinced ky such . demonstration; but if he had known enough to ask the silver smith for an explanation he would have been told that the gold was worth $2O0 because is could be taken to the mint and be recoined into ten e20 pieces, while the silver could not bs rsconverted into coin. He would also have been told thss if the mints were coining silver for any one who brought it in that his lump of silver wSald be would be worth as much as his iump of gold; while if the minss were coining silver only his jump Of gold would be worth only what it was worth as . commodity.

INFANTRY MANAGERS MEET
They Are Conflent of Bridging
Over Their financial Aflir3.
Grand Opera House VIII Not Change
Hands and Plans Are Afcot to
Stralghten Matters Out.

A meeting Of the board OF managers OF
tie Washington Light Infantry was held
last evening at the armory for the purpose
or considering several matters concerning
their business affairs aud in regard 10 the
Grand Opera House Capt. ,'Ohu 5 Miller
and Attorney Daviage authorized The
statement that enough was asCertaincd TO
assure the Infantry tnatits financial affairs
would be all right in a very few days, and
That The onera iDuse woUld ilc ,CI..4..,.,-.
regularly as heretofore.
The Infantry has always had a good
financial standing and its present enI-
barrassed condition was brought about by
the failure OF the lessee's bondsEIen to.
meet their obliga tionS, thus making it
inlnoSsihlt for trr Infantry TO IneetI,S .JI.,-
standing obligations.
Capt Miller was more than satisfied with
the outlook Of affairs and expressed hini-
self i'll emphatic terms to the effect that
all matters wnnld be ainiCahly arranged in
a few days to the satisfaction of all con-
Cerned.
He desired The Times to say that the
Light Infantry had been in existence for
fifty years and was a part and parcel
of the District OF Columbia. He said it
was composed of gentlemen who would do
nothing but what was fair and honorable
and on this the people could depend. Con-
tinuing, he said, the Infantry had bought
the land on which the arnory stood, had
;rected tie large building, aud had paid
$4,000 thereon. There was yet to be
paid $50 900.
Cap Miller denied that Mr.. O. G
Staples, who owned the second mortgage
bonds had made an offer 10 purchase the
first with view OF consolidating the two
issues, and that propositions OF similar
character had been made before by Mr..

FOR PADDING The MAILS

of the Attorney General and suit
WIN proba bly, Follow.

Postmaster General Wilson has turned
over TO the Department OF Justice the case
OF the SsChoard Air Line Railroad recon-
mending The prosecution of officials Of that
road II In the opinion or the Attorney
General such action is adyisahi
The papers in the case submitted to the
Department OF Justice allege that the
Seabodrd Air Line is guilty OF an attemptto
deiraud the government by padding the
mats during the month OF March last
during Which month the test weighing of
mail matter over that line was made in
order 10 form an estimate OF the amount OF
matter carried by the road which would
enable the PoStoifiCe Department TO make
four years contract for such service, and
fix the rate Of compensation.
nurlng the month OF March postal clerks
and postmastcrs along the route of the
road noticed an enormous increase OF mail
matter such as government documents
and newspapers. md knowing il TO be
tie month the test weighing was being
made, reported the case to lie DeDa rtment
PoStofIicc inspectors were detailed to
investigate the matter. They reported
that sacks of government documents were
being shipped from one agent to another
along the route where they were directed
and remailed to various points along the
line between Portsmouth, Va, and Atlanta,
Ga i hey also discovered that the railroad
company had ordered an unusual number
OF newspapers published in cities along
tue route or the SeabOard Air Line Cpon
this evidence Postmaster General Wilson
looked still further into the case and Sc
curing additional facts, took tue action
mentioned.

STREET REFUSE DISPOSAL

Although the item of $4,000 for the
disposal of street refuse has been struck
out of the appropriations of the District
hill, there is yet a way open for the Com
missoners to enter upon that phase OF
municipal sanitation. not only without a
grant of money from Congress. but even at
Il profit 10 the District treasury. The street
department Of the city OF New York has
just made contracts which will benefit
the city Immensely Ashes. which is also
collected there 10y the local authorities. and
street Sweepings are to be taken TO Riker's
Island at cost less than SI4 coo an
nually, and used TO make new land, the
value of which III time viii considerably
exceed the cost of carting and dumping.
For the privilege of taking way the bal
anCe OF the refuse. such paper. the city
has an offer of nearly a quarter Of a
million dollars Il year Instead of taking
money from its exchequer for sanitation
of this sort, New York will put money
into it.
1t would seem that what can be done in
New York in this direction might also be
DONE though on more limited scale in
Washington. The street refuse of this
city must be proportionately as valuable
as that Of the metropolis 1t certainly
can do no harm 10 look into this matter
and if the same method is found to lie
applicable TO Washington, which is to be
applied in New York, there is hardly a
doubt but that the requisite authority
could be readily obtained from Congress
In relation to the disposal of its garbage
the big city has also taken n new and
profitable departure. After the first day
of September next its 500 tons of garbage
daily will be removed for $4,000 year
This is only about $40, 900 more than Wash
ington pays and yet the quantity to be
removed there is from ten to twelve times
as much as in this city. The garba ge will
not lac dumped into the river, but taken
TO a point at no great distance from the
city and there converted into a dry fertiL
iZer, the profits from which are so con-
siderable that the contractor can afford
to remove the offal for so reasonable a
compensation.
All these things are worth examining
cSn"cia1v here where the problem of gar
bage and street refuse disposal is SO an
moving and difficult of satisfactory solu-
tion.

REsENT1SG AN IsprGNIrY.

Senator Faulkner's resignation from the
Ford's Theater commission is practical
protest against the unusual and discour-
teous action of the House OF Representatives
i'll discrediting the findings of a commits
sion Composed OF its own members and
others of the coordinate branch of ton-
greSs The action of the House was all
the more ungracious, as the awards made
by the Commission were based upon care
fully sifted sworn testimony, while the
decision of the House to send back few
cases for a rchearing rested upon some
ex parte statements Of subordinate bureau
officials. The discourtesy OF the House
Of the commission declared on the floor
that the action of that body in the eX-
cepted eases, as in all the others, was had
because the evidence adduced before it
was sufficiently weighty to warrant the
awards that were made.
The Commission finds itself in a most
peculiar situation with reference to the
cases sent back for re-examination. Per-
sumably all the testimony that could be
procured To show whether or not these
claimants are entitled to indemnification
was eXactad, save that which came, after
the commission had finished its labors,
TO the House in the letter sent by Sec
retary Lamont. With the exception, there
fore. of the statements made by the divis-
ion chiefs of the Record and Pension Of
flee of the War Department, the commits
sicn will have nothing new before it and,
if anything. must go over the same ground
again.
OF course, these Officials will be sum
'aoned 10 appear before the commission
and requested 10 make their statements
under oath, and 1T would seem proper
TO inquire why 1t was that they Withheld
from the commission tn information
they sent TO the House. Surely. their zeal
TO protect the interests of the government
against alleged unworthy claimants must
have been as pronounced during all the
tIne the commission was in existence as
il appears TO have been later on after that
body had completed its work and madeits
report 10 Congress. Itis somewhat singular
that out of that long list Of claimants Just
about a half dozen sh ould have been singled
out as not entitled to compensation. and
the commission might by proper Inquiry,
strike d lead as the detectives say,
tending in the direction OF the motive
that caused this eleventh-hour solicitude
en- behalfOf the division chiefs. As regards
the result of this second inquiry 1T may be
taken for granted that il will not vary
materially from the one discredited by the
House.

SEEK RELIEF IN CONGRESS.
Colored People Present Charges
Against the Public Schools


Congress has been petitioned TO ipyesti
gate certain charges made by numerous
colored citizens against the conduct of the
public school system OF Washington. These
charges were given to the public in a re-
port OF recent mass meeting presided
over by Mr.. O. c. Black, at which COM
mittee was appointed to formulat te the same
and seek relief from Congress. The COM
mittee was constituted of Mr.. Oliver C.
Black, Wiliian j. Tyler, and John W. M
Stewart.
The committee completed its work re-
Gently by preparing a petition which was
presented in tie House on the I'd inst.
by Mr. Skinner.
The complaint alleges that the conditions
to be removed have existed for thirty years
and that no satisfaction can he obtained
from the Comm iss ionerS. The grave
charges are favOritism shown in the ap-
pointments to school positions and the
useless expenditure of school moneys. Com
plaint is made that there is no opportunity
for the COlored youth to obtain a knoyyl-
edge OF the skilled arts in the public
schools, and that hence idleness and crime
are increasing in the race. The petition
prays for an immediate and thorough ex-
animation into the following charges:
Waste OF public moneys in creating Of
fires not neafed; paying tCo high prices
for school lands; persons paid to teach
branches Tor which they have no practical
knowledge; fayoritism in making appoint
ments and promotions. We ask that not
more than one in any one family be allowed
to teach school; and that day teachers
shall not be allowed to teach night schools:
cast aside discrimination; positions have
been sold, extra charges have been re-
quired OF pupils in our high school for
coaching.

SOME SENATORIAL DISCOVERIES

u
When the Senate Committee on Coast De-
fenses recently went to New York to ex-
amino the Iarbor defenses there they, like
Columbus, discovered something. What they
did discover was not especially gratifying
to national pride, but it was interesting,
nevertheless The Senatorial explorers
found that the alleged defenses are not
capable of defending anything. 1t had been
supposed all along that there was some
thing at or Hear New York which could be
relied upon to defend the approaches to the
city against Il hostile fleet, but alas and
alack! iii was dream" The Senators dis
covered some guns that We're not mounted
and some others that were mounted, but
for some reason or another could not be
used, and thatis all thcreis ofdefenses for a
city whose property is valued at four
Thousand million dollars. One ten-in ch gun,
two twclye-iuch ditto, and mortar battery
only this and nothing more!
According to the estimates Of army Off
GERS there will be required for the proper
defense of New York 80 guns Of eight, ten,
aud tweive-mch calber, z 5 rapid-fire guns,
and 176 mortarS. 1t is aTpalling to think
low many years il will take to turn cut
this armament, in addition 10 such ether
as will be needed for the adequate defense
of other great seaport cities along the 4 t.
lautic and Pacific coasts and OH the great
lakes. The COVE ernment has taken great
strides forward in the manufacture OF
lao, x..1,N -
the facilities at its command are by no
means equal TO the demand. The appro-
priation for coast defenses, $11 ,GCO, 900,
made at this session of Congress, and the
prospect of an equal sum annually for a
number OF years, gives hope that tco long
a period will not elapsc before the thought
of hostile fleet before any one of our
great seaports ueed not keep us awake
