THE CAMPAIGN OPENS.
Lively Scramble for Positions of
Justices of the Pence.

Lively Scramble for Positions of
Justices of the Peace.
One of the provisions of the code recently
enacted for the District of Columbia and
which will go into effect the first Of next
January, is for the appointment of ten JUS
tees of the peace. Each of these will re-
ceive a salary of $1,000 a year, with an
additional allowance of $3.50 a Year for sta
tionery and other incidentals of his office
Already a campaign Of the most active
character has been naugurated by those
desirous of serving the District in the ca
pacity mentioned. In fact the scramble
for the plums is reported to be growing
lively and sharp. Not only is it said that
those who are holding office justices Of
the peace under the present law are ac-
lively seeking reappointment, but that a
very large number of the young attorneys
are in the race.
District Of Columbia, the local officials and
personages of prominence in a political way
are being importuned daily to indorse the
applications of wou1d-be justices of the
peace. The efforts of the candidates have
been constant and persistent that the
Bar Association of the District of Columbia
held a special meeting recently and direct
ed its president to appoint committee to
investigate and submit report to
whether or not the association should in
dcrse any of the applications.
With the passage Of time the fight will
grow more active and the indications are
that President Mckinley, when he comes
to select the ten justices of the peace will
be confronted with a task of prodigious
proportions.
SO far as can be learned the following
are a few of those VINO. it is said, would
not decline appointment. Messrs. Peyton
Gordon, A. Leftwich Sinclair, Francis II.
Stephens, Jacob II. Lchliter, Albert E.
Shoemaker, Thomas p. Woodward. Alfonso
Hart, James F. Scaggs, James L. Pugh,
jr., Randall Webb, Arthur Browning, VIM
II. Ruff, Leonard p. Bradshaw, w. Spen-
Ger Armstrong, Nathaniel Carusi. Martin
L. Welfey. Rutledge Wilson and Samuel
w. Rittenhouse, all white, and William H
II. Hart, Fountain Peyton, w. Calvin
Chase and Thomas Z. Jones, colored
The present justices, who, it Is said, are
seeking reappofntment, include Francis
Carroll Mattingly, Lewis !. ONeil, Thomas
H. Callan, Samuel r. Church, John II.
ODonnelI, Arson S. Taylor c. S. Bundy.

work done by the committee on public

A new committee on public schools was
formed, the main object of which is to

which affect the growing youth.

The next speaker was Mr.. Merrill f.
Gates. He said he desired to talk straight
to the boys, and he wished he and they
might have the hall to themselves He In
terested the boys by telling them clearly
that in having youth they had a great ad-
vantage over men. The door of oppor-
tun1ty was open to them and no man could
shut 1t against them. He quoted the scrip
turaf passage, II have set before thee an
open door and no one shall shut it." He
told his young hearers that the future is
their own.
Rev. Richard P. William delivered pray

Rev. DR.. Sunderland made a few re-
marks. He said that upon visit to the
reform school, number of years ago, he
had entered into a pledge with the boys
he met then. He had, he said, promised
them to pray for them every night, and
they had promised they would pray for him.
He had kept his part of the agreement
lie desired to enter into like agreement
with the boys before him on this occasion
He said Il shall pray for you every day

keep my faculties. Now, I want every
BOY who will pray for me to hold up his

The right hand of every boy in the hall
was upraised.

as to whether they are pleasure boats

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Please accept my thanks for inserting nv
complaint against the Brightwood road l
deslfe to say few words in reply to the
companys comments, as follows:
In his comments on the criticism of the
new schedule of the Brightwood road the
officer of the company who is quoted in
The Star of March % fails to answer a
single point in the complaint. The funda-
mental point Is whether not the road is
paying. The assertion of the company that
1t is not needs some explanation, in view of
the TACT that there are a great number of
little companies all over the country giving
much better service to a smaller traffic
and yet making money When the pas
sengers complain of excessive crowding the
company answers that 1t is losing money.
The two propositions are inconsistent. The
croWding we know to be true, so we hesi-
tate to accept the other statement Doubt
less the company's books show loss, but
we fa1l to understand it when we know
that the traffic is very heavy for the equip
ment used during several hours every day,
and that it is maintained at a very good
rate during the rest of the time
The company's official makes a mistake
when he speaks of the schedule being very
irregular under the former system. On the
contrary, the comparative regularity in
running under that system was a subject
of favorable comment, and no general com
plaint has ever been made on that account
He asserts further that the present sys-
tenn gives "a better schedule and better
service on the Brightwood road than in the
past and the people say So l venture to
assert that not one passenger in ten is sat
isfied with the change, and l am sure he
has not heard many people there say so.
The company's official has also failed to
comment on the assertion of the complaint
that the company was violating its charter
a dozen times every day. The charter re-
quires cars to be run from each terminus

during the greater part of the day the in
