Mr.. Newman's Entertainments.

Oliver P. Newman, 'usurper"' of the Office of Dis
trct Commissioner, according to jury of twelve men
in the Supreme Court OF the District of Columbia,
is to be Congratulated on his able and pointed reply
to the request of the District Home Rule Commit
tee for opportunity to tell him to relinguish his
Office in obedience to the courts writ of custer In
an admirably phrased communication, OF pronounced
legal favor, Mr. Newman refuses to receive the COM
mittee in the interest of economy of time and vocal
energy. He has no intention of vacating the Office
and nothing the committee could say would have any
effect. Hence, why talk? The committee should be
grateful to Mr. Newman for his frank and business
like way of dealing with it. Mr.. Newman is in and
the committee is out, and he cannot be blamed for
taking all the advantage of his position.
In his letter Mr.. Newman hands the committee
rude jolt, but which is reflection on the $780,
900 people of Washington. He politely reminds the
committee that it represents mass meeting" that
lacked the masses there being only about $50 adults
present 1t is almost incredible that matter of such
importance Commissioners legal right to his
Office failed to greater active interest, and
Mr. Newman's attitude of listening for a demand
more nearly approaching the unanimous for him to
step down and out is quite tenable He displays much
courage in resisting the courts writ of custer
than he does in defying the demand Of the $50
citizens.
There is little weight in Mr.. Newmans argu-
ment that the President and Senate satisfied as
to his eligibility, since judge and jury have listened
to the evidence on either side and have decided
against him. while the public is practically unanimous
in the opinion that his appointment and confirmation
violated at least the spirit of the law.
The spectacle of Presidential appointee insisting
on retaining important Office in the Capital of the
United States after a jury has declared him a
"usurper" is not dignihed for the country to
contemplate, and besides the public interest would
seem to demand that Mr.. Newman make way for a
Commissioner whose eligibility and official acts shall
not be open to question in the courts of law. But
since Mr.. Newman is in and elects to remain in.
with the sanction of the President the verdict Of the
Court of Appeals must be patiently awaited.

District Wins IN Long Fight

After being seven months in Congress, fhe subject
of bitter and prolonged controversy, the District OF
Columbia appropriation bill goes to the President
TODAY in form reasonably satisfactory to the people
of Washington. There are, in fact but two causes
for complaint--the failure to appropriate funds for
several deserving projects which the Districts rev
enues justified and the BorIand amendment imposing
a portion of the expense of street paving on the
house owners. Even the Borland amendment has
been modified SO as to tighten the burden which it
originally placed the property owner and to divide
the remaining expense equally between the District
and Federal governments, thus destroying much Of
the force of the contention that If is indirect IN
frngement of the half-andhalf principle If COM
petey nullifying it There elements of injustice
in the amendment, it now stands, but they
appear trivial by comparison with greater wrongs
which were attempted by few members Of the
House of Representatives but which were frustrated
by the Senate's wisdom and sense of fairness and
by the unyielding hrmness of its conferees.
The most gratifying victory the rejection of
the outrageous Section g. the avowed purpose Of
which was the barefaced conhscaton of nearly SI5oo
600 of the taxes paid by the citizens of Washington,
to be placed in the Federal treasury in fragrant vio
laton of the organic act of 1873. Had this section
been enacted into law dangerous progress toward
the destruction Of the present form of the Districts
government would have been made For its defeat
and for much of the good in the bill finally passed
the people of Washington owe debt Of gratitude to
their friends in the Senate.
To the Citizens Committee of One Hundred, head
ed by former District Commissioner Henry B. F.
Macfarland they are indebted for successful cam
paign of enlightenment of the large number of new
members of the House of Representatives concern
ing District affairs which had the effect of checking
at its source food of pernicious legislation, con-
cocted by few relentless foes of the District for the
purpose of gratifying animosity fancied personal
grievances. Without the aid of this committee the
task of the Senate would have been far more difficult
if not impossible of accomplishment
1t is fervently to be hoped that next session will
see better feeling between House and District and
that no future Congress will witness such unwar-
ranted and persistent effort destroy the foundations
upon which great Capital of great Nation has
been erected.
Much valuable time has been lost, resulting in the
temporary stoppage of part of the municipal ma
chinery but when the President places his signature
on the appropriation bill the city may resume its
progress toward things worth while.

New Laws for Women.

The position taken up by the Supreme Court Ap-
pellate Division that motherhood is the chief func
ton of women no doubt gives great offense in FEM
mist circles and wild cry for the recall of judges
who don't keep abreast with the ideas of the day may
be expected Even the decision upholding the law
which prohibits factory work by women between 10
o'clock at night and 8 in the morning is poor off,
set against such libel the For although
the feminist leaders favor the law they could never
admit that there any purpose or reason for the
existence of woman other than the development of
her own ego just like any other man. However,
the law is upheld and sundry women who have been
earning respectable livngs by work in the prescribed
hours must seek for new jobs. Presumably the
legislature at its next session will complete the duty
of conserving women's health and morals for the
good of succeeding generations by prohibiting any
member of the sex from dancing the tango hesita-
ton one-step maxixe furlana or lulufardo between
the hours of 10 D. m and a. m. and thus mourning
a-irain on her vitality

The Interests The Herald Represents

Representative Ben Johnson of Kentucky told the
House Monday that The Herald is the organ of
the interests. Ben is right for The Herald is
the organ of the interests of the people, those who
have property much or little, bank stock or muscle
which pays dividends. Every who has brains or
muscles and uses them to create revenues for his
own use to support others is listed among the
interests The Herald serves. We only draw the line
against those muscles which control the larynx stir
the air and emit sound which is not connected in any
way with mental activity and moral consciousness.
Ben is not among the interests served by The
Herald and it appears that Ben recognizes the diff
ference between serving the interests and serving his
own petty prejudices and contracted vision.

Blease's Latest.

The reputation of South Carolina has suffered in
many ways in the national history, and Gov. Blease
is doing what he can to add to her humiliation He
has refused permission for Savannah cavalry or
ganization to pass through his State route to the
encampment at Augusta the latter part of the month
The Georgia troops were to travel over the Southern
Railway, which enters the Palmetto State shortly
after leaving Savannah and ges back Georgia soil
at Augusta. The militia law provides that the Ma
tional Guard from one State cannot enter another
State under arms without securing the consent of
the governor of that State Gov Blease will also bar
North Carolina troops, we are told, from crossing
South Carolina in order to reach the camping ground
at Augusta. The unspeakable Blease is said to in
tend his action as a rebuke the Secretary of War
for changing the encampment from the Isles of
Palms near Charleston, to Augusta. That would be
about the size of the South Carolina executive

The strength Of his command was
greatly exaggerated by the Federals- II

bering $500 men. Gen. Halieck placed
IL as high as 5000 men. Gen. wrighs
believed 1t greatly In excess OF his own
force. which he reported from PooIes-
Vile as wholly insufficient to justify
the following up Of the enemy on the
other side Of the Potomac"
The Federals had another army, the
command Of Gen David Hunter, with

Early's column might have been struck

arriving at that place July I5iGen. Hun

troops to cooperate with Gen. Wright,
and place Gen. George Crook in COM
mand Of them Gen. Hunter replied that
every effort would be made to start
about 1000 men promptly, but that he
had no reliable information of the move

Martinsburg, and did not reach Harpers
Ferry until midnight Meanwhile the
column had started. under Gen Jeremias.

IL next morning
In reporting to Washington his obedi-
ence to his orders Gen. Hunter asked to
be relieved OF commanding and declared
that neither Gen. Wright nor the COM
mand from here has any chance OF over
taking the enemy"
Before Hunters column reached the
scene Of operations, Early was destined
to cross the Blue Ridge.
The pursuit OF Early thus failed before
IL was fairly begun. Grant. shrewdly
judging the situation from the meager
news he received, hours late. urged a
headlong pursuit.

growth Of these germs perhaps an i'm
perfect though sufficient comparison
with the mould on preserved fruit
may answer. Not every jar of pre-
served fruit will permit mould to
form, nor will every lung permit ba-
cilIi to form; and just IS there IS some
condition which does or does not per
nit fungus to develOpe on the pre-
served fruit so is there a condition
which does or does not permit tubercle

the body. In the body we speak Of
this condition as the presence or b.

prevent and eradicate the disease, and
Of this I am now prepared to speak.
To prevent the effect, which IN TINS
instance is a tuberculous disease, we
have a choice of two points of attack
the cause and the condition under
which it operates. From what has
been said the utter impossibility of
directly destroying the cause-tuber-
Gle baciIli-ought to be promptly evi-
dent. Their numbers are inconceiv-
able. their presence is everywhere,
their size such as to permit them to
