RETURNED THE MoNEY-Rev. DR..

Methodist Church, Richmond, has been
the means of a well-known Washing

bling table. This money the latter had
laid aside to pay oil mortgage on his
aged mothers house. Sunday night
DR.. Starr recognized among his congre-
CATION the Washington sport alluded to-.
He at once directed his remarks to him
and begged the man to return the
money to his victim. Yesterday morn
ing the minister met the gambler in
the street. The sport said: II have
spent sleepless night and | was ON my
way to your house to tell you that the
money had been shipped to that old
woman, and she will get it tomorrow"
Then with choked utterance, the gam
bier added: ~ have determined by the
help of God never to throw another
card as long as l live" DR.: Starr re-
piled: Il am glad to know it, and let
me say this to you: Ifyour changed life
makes bread scarce with you for time
Won can sit down at my table as long as
/ have crust to share with any one.n
The incident is the most remarkable of
the kind known to Richmond gamblers
or clergymen.

TUESDAY EVENING. MAR. 80 1897.

THE Washington newspaper that mas
done oil it could to defame Alexandra
county and city, exhibits its ignorance
of the late difference between the
Mayor and the police commissioners OF
Alexandria in the most glaring colors,
to all those familiar with the facts OF
the case. The man who made the
raids on the policy shops, though ne
acknowledged he was wrong, (the
rules of the Police Board requiring
him to report all information OF
gambling to the Mayor escaped
with a simple reprimand. He and an
other one were subsequently, suspended
for gross contempt of the Mayor and
characterization, in obtaining informa-
ton of an alleged felony and not in
parting it to the Mayor, as was their
plain duty, though they did impart it to
two members of the police board and
to other persons not in official position
Such conduct, if unpublished, would be
utterly subversive Of all discipline and
would soon demoralze and disorganizt
the entire police force, and would Ger
tainly not be conducive to the efficient
administration of the affairs ofthe city
would not promote the peace and order
of the community, and would not effect
that hearty cooperation of the NUM-
cipal officers so necessary to the proper
government of the people who are tax
ed to support them.

The FACT has now leaked out that
notwithstanding Secretary Alger said
he hadn't the authority to appoint even
his own private secretary, he has al
ready found a way to appoint two men
to good places without a civil service
examination. There never yet has
been an instance of the inability of an
appointing officer to find place for a
man, if be chose to do so, since the pas
sage of the civil service law, and there
never will be.

ACCORDING to the newspapers, Arch
bishop Ireland has method in mis- mad
ness, and abandons his episcopal
duties and mixes religion and politics,
not for the good of either, but for his
own. His interference with politics,
his opposition to the other and more
seemly srchbishops of his church, the
bad advice he gave Mgr. Satolli, and
the part he has taken against parochial
schools have been anything else than
advantageous to the qualification of his
overwhelming desire to wear the red
cap, and it is stated in the newspapers
referred to that ne is now using such
church influence rs he possesses in be-
half of the appointment of Us. Min
lister to Rome who would be of help to
him. 1t isn't conducive to the CONVEX
sion OF the unregenerate. Cor high
church officials to be mingling with
the crowd of office-seekers and their
advocates at the White House.

THE ExoRBITANT tax imposed upon
the consumers of this country by the
proposed new tariff bill is SO outrage
Gus that even republican congressman
from Massachusetts rise in their seats
and protest against the contemplated
enormity. The iniquities of the robber
bill which bore the Presidents name,
and which was so oppressive that the
people rose against it and defeated his
party in two subsequent elections, were
great deal less burdensome than those
of the Dingley bill; but the edict has
