Of things At the beginning of-the present
collegiate year the hour of 4 80 in the after
noon was fixed for lectures in the scientific
and other departments to students in the
evening classes. There are eight hundred
young men in the government service who
attend these classes. With the depart
ments closing at 4:3o Ii was impossible for
the students to reach the university build
ings in time for the commencement of the
lectures and it became necessary to make
a change in the time. An order was issued
today stating that after Monday, January
II. afternoon classes will begin at $50
o'clock. This will upset all the arrange
ments made at the beginning of theNyear.
Want to Begin at $50.
A number of the students of Columbian
University employed in the departments
have started a movement in favor of hav-
ing the government work begun at $50 In
the morning and close at 4. 1t is assumed
that the seven hours of daily work is what
the heads of departments desire, and that
the precise time of beginning and ending
that work is not material There is talk OF
holding mass meeting that an appropriate
petition to the heads of departments may
be framed and adopted.
The Railroads.
The railroads are also heavy sufferers
from the change. There are hundreds of
department clerks living in the suburbs
and In nearby cities and towns. The rail-
road companies were required to make spe-
cial arrangements for the accommodation
of such people, and as result of the
change in the department hours the sched-
ules will have to be overhauled and an
entire new schedule made up.
A Capitol Rumor.
1t was rumored at the Capitol this morn
ing that it is highly probable that the sub
committee of the House committee on ap-
propriations handling the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill will incorporate
in that measure provision that the Dis
trict clerks shall work from o'clock in
the morning until 4:30 O'Clock in the after
noon. There is at present no law govern
ing the hours of work for the District
clerks. 1t is said that the committee on
appropriations feels that there should be
no anomaly presented by the government
clerks working until 4:3O o'clock each after
noon with the District clerks being dis
missed half an hour earlier. None of the
members of the House subcommittee could
be seen today.
Contrary to rumors that were abroad yes
terday, there will be no provision In the
general legislative bill touching upon the
hours Of work by the various executive

Unfavorable Report.

Mr.. E. A. NJ. Lawson and other owners
in the vicinity of Fort Saratoga recently
petitioned the Commissioners that ce-
ment sidewalk be laid on the north side
of Hamlin street, Brookland, between 18th
and Goth streets. Commissioners Macfar-
land and Biddle have approved the recon-
mendation of C. B. Hunt, engineer of high
ways, that the petitioners be informed
that, in view Of the large amount Of side
walk work which must be done from the
appropriation for the purpose, the Commits
sioners are unwilling to favorably consider
the construction of this class of work un-
der the assessment system on frontages
which are not improved with dwellings and
where other, justfying considerations do
not exist"
Mr. Hunt further recommended that the
petitioners be, told that in 1.-The event of
deposit being made for any portion Of
the frontage which is improved by dwell
ings or which would connect such improved
portions with an adjoining frontage where
sidewalk improvements exist or are con-
templated, such would be undertaken

provision is unnecessary, in view of the
law which requires seven hours Of service
by these employees.
In the case of the District, however, some
action by Congress is necessary. In the

by the precedent set in the regular govern

however, 1t is believed that a law will at

TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE.

II the Delaware Temperance AIM
ance fails to command that support
and confidence which it desires lt will
be due in great measure to tho fact
that it has msulted the intelligence Of
many earnest temperance advocates by
making a dead with AddTcks, whereby
the Alliance gets promises and Addicks
gets votes
There have come to The Evening
Journal complaints and protests from
persons who have been foremost m
Temperance work in this state, the lat
est Of which Is from a woman who
has devoted great part Of her time
and enthusiasm to the cause.
The proposition, as is well-known, IS
to agree to support any candidate for
the Legislature who promises to sup
port temperance measures. Tho Union
Republican leaders are posing as great
friends Of temperance; they viii as
sumo nusendship for any scheme which
promises votes, but they are certain
to see to il that the Union Republican
temperance vote in the Legislature
causes no embarrassment.
This is the scheme: in districts where
the temperance vote Is badly needed
the Addicks candidate will favor local
option. In other districts the candl-
dates will promise the liquor men to
protect their interests. Thus they will
get the support OF both the temperance
and the liquor people-at least, that Is
their plan.
Union Republican candidates were
endorsed i'm the last campaign by the
temperance people, Some of the men
elected really advocated local option
but 1t was arranged that the Union Re-
publican speaker should kill the bill by
declaring it to be unconstitutional. Has
that Incident been forgotten2
A few years ago a Union Republ-
can was elected to the Legislature. and
after his success he began to advo-
cate the temperance cause. In conse-
quence, he was given an important
place ON the temperance committee.
His enthusiasm grew; bill was in
troduced that gave JOY 10 the hearts Of
the temperance people. Then there
came a day when the liquor men met;
a little fund amounting to several
thousand dollars was raised and
placed In the proper hands. and our
temperance friend killed the bill lie
has not advocated temperance legis-
lation since.
These, and many other facts are
known, and now to throw the support
Of the temperance people to Addicks
shows that there are persons IN the AL
lance who love him more than they
love temperance; that they are willing
TO condone or endorse shocking private
and public immoralitles for some rea-
son not given to the public.
The Alliance viii have no difficulty
in securing pledges from the Addicks
candidates, and an the dimculty the
liquor men win have will be to get
together fund to prevent damage to
their interests being done.

IT'S aRupelNe APOLOGY.

The following facts we gather from
an editorial in the Every Evening" on
October 2s. 1895. Theodore Roosevelt
then Police Commissioner, made a
speech IN New York city. The New
York Journal published what purport-
cd to be truthful copy Of that ad-
dress. Mr.. Roosevelt was quoted as
saying that Mr. Bryan has appealed
10 the basest set in the land the far
mers. The next day Mr. Roosevelt In
dlgnantly denied that he had said any
thing like the words attributed TO him.
Then the New York Journal made an
investigation and as a result, dis
charged the reporter.
Those are the facts which we take
from the Every Evening. Now here
are some facts which relate to our con-
temporary: Recently il found the old
lie published and repudiated by Mr..
Hearst in 1896. and gloated over its
discovery. II put this falsehood into
display type and ran It for weeks. II
sought to prejudice the farmer vote
against Roosevelt.
And now IN justification, II cites the
publication Of the story in the New
York Journal-a paper It affects to do
spise-notwlthstanding the journal re-
pudiated the story the day after it was
put into print IL hauled out Of its
grave an eight-year-old lie, and gloat-
ed over It. Yet in the face Of these adj
missions 1t calls for an authoritative
statement" IN denial The President
dispatched this lie eight years ago; he
is not going 10 bother about the wris-
glers who are feeding on II now.
