induced about the 18th, will remain until

secondary disturbance is central on

REV. DR.. HoGE, one of the most dis
tinguished preachers of the South, in q
recent sermon in Richmond, arraigned
the sensational members of his profess
sion, whom ne spoke of as mounte-
banks, but, even worse than they, in his
opinion, are political preachers. He
said there should be no politics in the
pulpit; people are free to vote as they
please; they could espouse one party or
another, but in the Church there should
be no political discussion. Hall preach
ers were as wise rs DR.. Hoge they
would have more men among their
congregations and the cause they pro-
TESS would be greatly promoted. In the
North, pulpits are frequently devoted
not only to political, but to partisan
subjects, and, unfortunately for the
South, political references are occasion
ally heard in those of this section. II
there be no marriages in heaven, for q
stronger reason, there'll be no politics
there.

INHIs speech at the banquet OF the
Columbian University Alumni Associa-
ton in Washington last night, Congress
man Corliss of Michigan said that uni
versity depended largely for its students
upon young department clerks, but by
the operation of the civil service law
that source ofsupply would be cut of, as
the departments would be filed with a
lot of wornout human machines. Under
q republican form Of government that
law becomes a most obnoxious and ar
bitrsry restriction upon human liberty.
.If" he said, 1.-The civil law Is wise,
why not apply its principles to Con-
sress. How many of the older mem
bers of that body, now holding the most
important positions because of their
long service and experience, could sue
cessfully pass civil service examina-
ton for the position of messenger boy"'
With the patent and grotesque absurdi'
ties of the civil service law in full view,
now it has been allowed to remain
on the statute books so long, is one o.
the numerous remarkable things Of this
strange, eventful age.

FISHERMEN DIsMIssED.-Judge Kim.

FISHERMEN DIsMIssED.-Judge Kim
ball, in Washington, yesterday
made an interesting ruling on the
question of fishing with nets or seines
in the Potomac river within the juris-
diction of the District of Columbia.
Harry Oliver, George Castleman and
Albert Saul, three young men, were
in the tolls for having on the 25th Of
April used nets or seines in securing
small fish in the river. 1t appeared
from the testimony adduced that the
three defendantns were fishing for bull
minnows for bait purposes. The court
laid down the opinion that the act was
to protect shad, herring, and other
large food fish in the river, and does
not apply to the securing of small fish
for bait. "If the defendants" said the
court, "had been found fishing on the
spawning grounds of the food fish, they
would be liable to the penalty imposed
in the act to protect the foolish, but IL
appears that the young men were sem
ing in the shallow water where only,
the small bait fish we're in evidence.
The charge against the defendants was
dismissed.

A WASHINGTON newspaper says 1t Is
due to Governor O'Ferrall "that some
measure of reform was secured over the
lawless community at the south end OF
the Long Bridge. through the closing OF
the outlaw race tracks. The lynching
of Mccoy mas aroused him to further
efforts, and while he may not be able
to secure convicting evidence against
the participants, he will at least set an
excellent example for the Alexandrians
and for all other citizens OF the State"
There are just as much vice and crime
at Jackson City now as there were
when the race tracks in Alexandria
county were open, and the Common
wealth's Attorney here, if requested,
would have given the Governor better
evidence concerning the lynching than
that he obtained by the unnecessary
and expensive means to which he re-
sorted. He did set an example, to
be sure, bit it was to warn Virginians
against the danger of choosing for their
Governors men lacking in judgment.
