The Pennsylvania Railroad Companies
have erected at West Philadelphia new
depot for New York trains. 1t is four
hundred and fifty feet in length by sixty
six feet wide, including brick structure
for Office and passenger purposes of one
hundred and thirty-eight by fifty feet in
area.
The great tunnel, seven hundred and
fifty feet long, running from one hund-
red and fifty feet south of Chestnut street
to the north side of Market street, is also
piece of engineering skill worthy ex-
animation. These improvements are lm-
portant, and show that the railroad COM
pany will permit no instrumentality to
remain unemployed which can render
their line the favorite route Of travel.

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT
The alleged heterogeneous character Of the
present government, or rather governments, of
this District, for there are now At least five
separate, sometimes conflicting jurisdictions,
namely: Congress, the Corporation of Wash.
ington, the Corporation Of Georgeto wn, the
Levy Court, and the Metropolitan Police Com
missioners. is beginning to attract the attention
of our citizens. Those who favor a change
the neglect OF the National Legislature, when
the District was founded. to devise q plan OF
government for the same. and that our present
system, If it may be called one, is thing OF
shreds and patches, the result Of sixty-seven
years legislation by Congress for q community
not represented in that body. Without dis
GUESSING the questions involved In this contro.
versy, we propose TO notice briefly q historical
fact OF some interest in connection with the
subject.
On the 18th Of November, in the year 1900
Congress assembled fof the first time in the
city of Washington, which was intended by
its founder, says q writer Of the time. to ssbe
the seat OF justice, learning. and SCIENCE the
foundation OF good laws, and the rally
ing point of all the republican virtues"
During that session q bill was introduced
for the government of the District of
Columbia, but for some reason it
failed to become a law. 1t proposed
for the appointment by the President OF q
Governor to serve three years, ur less sooner
removed; and the establishment OF LeRisla.
ture, to consist of a Senate and House of Rep.
resentativss. The District was to be divided
into two precincts" one on the east the other
on the west side Of the Potomac" the House
Of Representatives TO consist OF fourteen mem.
bers, seven from each precinct, to serve two
years. chosen by citizens of the United States
reeholders-resident twelve months in the
District; and the Senate to consist of six men,
bers. three from each precinct, to serve six
years. one third of the number TO be repIaced
every second year and to be chosen by eight
electors, four from each precinct, cleo ted by
the ffeeholders qualified to vote for members
OF the House OF Representatives. The Cover.
nor was to have the veto upon the passage OF
all laws, (similar to that of the President:)
and the Governor, the members Of the Legis
lature. and the Electors, were to be prohibited
from holding any office under the United
States or any State. The Legislature was to
pass all laws needful for the government and
police OF the District. repealable or aIterabls
by Congress; and was to have power to lew
passed for taxing the District for opening
paving, repairing, improving, lighting, or
regulating the streets in any town or CITY
within the District This would seem to
have contemplated lea wing thu m unicipaI gov
ernments Of the District cities intact Other
sections were in reference to the judiciary.

The recent newspaper effort to bring Vice

Of an alleged ultra agrarian speech Of his al
Lawrence, Kansas, has already been exploded
The New York Times was the pioneer in this
work, having treated Mr.. Wade IN the matter
with gross unfairness. 1t turns out that the
Times account of the speech was most disin.
genuous garbling, attributng to him words
and thoughts he did not utter. The ST. Louis
Democrat, doubtless af'er an interview with
Mr.. W. on the subject, explains that in saving
That "property is not equally divided, and
more equal distribution OF capital must
be wrought OUT" he was referring to the
necessity tor tairer adjustment OF the tariff.
which, as now arranged, bears hard, indeed,
on labor, for the benefit OF capital In vested in
manufactures. The country will in due time
surely endorse all that Mr.. Wade said in that
speech as thus explained, despite the efforts Of
his detractors to misrepresent it, most of them.
