Carlin, who has ably represented the
Eighth District for many years, haa
two competitors. One poses a. the
friend Of the farmer, and he is On
deavoring to make voters in the rural
sections believe their interests have
not enlisted the attention of Mr.. Car
lin as closely as they should.
That the latter has ever been on the
watch for the betternent of the agrl-
cultural interests of his district and
state has been amply proven by his
record as well as by the many remin-
deTs his friends have circulated dur
ing the past few months.
The other aspirant for COMPRESSION
al honors is lawyer of Alexandria
county.
Mr.. Carlin's Congressional duties
have for a long time absorbed his I'M
divided attention. He now has leis-
ure, however, and is travelling through
2,
the district showing that truth crushed
to the earth will rise again. Large
numbers of sufrragans who had been
bordering over charges of neglect
made against him by those who would
unhorse him in the hour Of his great
est usefulness, have announced their
fixed purpose to let well enough alone.
The papers in the district are print
ing affidavits and statements contain
ing reflections upon our Congressman,
while others intended to refute the
same are appearing.
However, people convinced against
their will are of the same opinion
still, and this observation as we'll as
the verse at the head of this article
have ample fufllment among COR
porars guard in Alexandria, who for
years-or ever since Mr.. Carlin en-
tered Congress-have opposed him,
whether he had a competitor or not.
In some cases representatives of this
class have supported the Republican
candidate when there was no fight in
the party. 1859, .,.-~,........,........, ;,
We havel::%y; the time to read the
mass of circulars, newspaper extracts,
ETC., with which the district is flooded
by Mr.. Carlin's political enemies, but
all which have come near our eyes are
of the fimsiest nature.
The fact remains, Notwithstanding
M. Carlin's opponents have picked
him up and searched him closely for
vulnerable points, that they have
failed to find anything upon which
to base substantial issue.
We have no misgivings whatever
concerning the result of the primary
election next month, as there is every
reason to believe Mr.. Carlin will
emerge from the triangular fight as
triumphant as he did years ago when
ne was opposed by two gentlemen in
his district more prominent and with
larger followings than those who now
confront him.
The entire district has much for
which to thank MIR Carlin, and we
prefer to believe that the great mass
will show their appreciation of Rep
resontative who has and ever will be
ready and anxious to do anything
which can augment city or rural in
tereSts.

THE CASE OF THE POLICEMEN

Oniy seven Of Alexandria's police
force are now performing duty--Giil,
SKerns, Bell, Reed, Talbot. Rawlett and
Snellings-the others, as has been
stated in The Gazette, having relln-
cuished their positions yesterday
morning.
Their action was brought about by
the refusal of the city council on
the previous night to comply with
their request for an increase in pay.
In this connection it may be stated
that the city fathers were practically
powerless to meet the demand, for
many reasons which are apparent TO
most citizens, while the fact should
not be lost sight Of that we live in an
age when it requires at least twice as
much money to exc out bare exist
ence as it did a few years ago Men,
bers of the police force with families
to support found it impossible to meet
all their responsibilities upon the sal
airy they were receiving. Hence the
present unfortunate conditions are the
fault Of neither.
All naturally expect wages sufficient
to meet the cost of living, but when 7
mans monthly earnings are consumed
in paying two bills--one to The land
lord and the other to the groceryman
the wheels of life move heavily. Be-
sides a policeman serves forty-two
days a month--that is forty-two
eight-hour tricks.
Ne, however. thought yesterday and
think now, that the action of = ma
jority Of the members of the force who
threw up their jobs was precipitate.
It would have been better to allow
the city council and the police conf
missioners an opportunity to bring
about more satisfactory conditions.
1t. was enormously supposed yes
terday that the city was in al I'M
guarded condition by reason Of this
strike. Such, however. was not the
case, as the members of the military
police, who have for long time been
acting as auxiliarirs to the city's
force, were scattered in every section
of the city night and cay, ready to re-
spond to any call. This force can be
augmented Immediately SHOULD the
services Of more be necessary. The
members of this band will continue 20
act in conjunction with the seven men
who remain on the force. ard no trout
bic is anticipated.
The resolutions prepared by the
Board of Police Commissioners are
now being considered b. committees
Of the city council. They are pub
lisheG elsewhere in The Gazette. Il is
purposed to reduce the force to twelve
members, including a chief and two
sergearts, and 10 pay the same IS
follows: Chief. SIPS per month; ser
geants, SliO, and privates. S10o. \
pension fund is also provided for
members who may outlivc their days
Of efficiency \ patrol wagon is TO be
procured and one motorcycle. These
requisites should have been provided
many years ago.
The question Of cu-tailing the force
is mooted. especially when it is re-
membered that Alexandria spreads
ever twice the area it did several
years ago. while or population has
been considerably augmented OF late.
But. taken al in al. the commission
ers and council have done the best
under the circumstances.
