Eight or ten days ago, in replying to an
article in the Louisville Courisr-,JournaL
on the subject Of the third term-whieb. he
it remembered, we do not advocate or sum-
port-we said: ''The objection to this nlst-
form of the Courier Journal Is that in
"what might be called the political portion
of it it is vague and misty. What would
''it have General Grant do toward the
Overthrow Of 'negrophilism' in the SOUTH

universal complaint is that now, without

higher usefulness. " This is almost the only
generous, statesmanlike and American sen.
tence in the whole article. 1t expresses ex'
actly what the Republican party has been
endeavoring to do for the last eleven years,
what 1t is endeavorlng to do to-day. The
party with which the Courier Journal has
acted has been opposing 1t in this policy and
fighting 1t at every step. If the Southern
Democrats had from the beginning endeav-
ored with Republicans TO educate the col
ored people into higher usefulness instead
of prosecuting and Ku-Kluxing them we
should to-day have something like peace
and honest government all over that section
of our country.
The impression that the success Of the
Democracy would be menace, nay, posi-
tive danger, to the black race is strengthened
rather than weakened by the ambiguous
article of the Courier Journal which we
have transferred to our columns. A cosli-
ton upon such basis is, we are certain,
among the impossibilities Of our politics 50
far as General Grant Is concerned. The
only effect of It would be to place him where
an English Minister. In leaving office, re-
GREETED he had suffered himself to be placed

TIE COMMISSIONERS AND THE
TAKPAYERS


The Commissioners, through Governor
Denpison, yesterday gave the committee of
the Taxpayers Association to understand,
in very unmistakable terms, that they in
tend to conduct the affairs of the District
without any advice or Interference from
them. Since the change in our form of
government this association has assumed to
itself the entire charge Of the District and
all that appertained to It. The new Com
missioners had hardly taken their seats
when they called meeting, and with q
flourish Of trumpets declared that they
would see to it that the interests of the peo-
pie would in the future be protected. The
interest felt by these gentlemen in the peo-
pie is truly refreshing,
. The lesson which Mr.. Dennison read
them will be approved by the great major
ity Of our citizens, who have come TO look
upon them and the misunderstanding
were practically one and the same body
as the authors of most of the ills and mis-
fortunes which have come upon US. The
Commissioners have told them that they
thoroughly understand the whole situation,
and that they mean to do just as they think
proper under the law. The paper which
they presented was nothing more nor less
than an insult to the Commission, and the
answer which has been given was natural
and proper.
The next thing in order will, We sup
pose, be to unchsin the newspaper blood
hounds who were set upon the late District
government and upon every one who dared
to say a word in its behalf In short time
we shall have them yelping in full chorus
about fraud and corruption. Gov DENIM.
son has evidently made the subject q mat
ter CT deep study, as his remarks show not
only a thorough knowledge Of the laws of
Congress under which the new form of
government is organized, but of the circum-
stances and motives connected with their
enactment. The idea that the Commission
would or could overlook such an important
question as the validity of the incomplete
contracts of the late Board of Public Works
is simply Preposterous; but the feet that the
taxpayers committee gave utterance to it
may be accepted as a matter of congratula-
ton, because it furnished an opportunity
which Gov. Dennison embraced to explain
in public way the full scope of the law
bearing on this point 1t seems that Con-
gress legalized all of the acts of the board
by the law of June20. This being the case,
the incomplete contracts are to be COM
pleted, the sewers are TO be built, and so
far as the resources of the District will al
low, the improvement of our streets is not
to be stopped. At the same time the ut
most precaution Is to be taken to secure
economy. New contracts are to be awarded
upon competitive bids only, and the sys-
TEN which obtains in all the Government
departments is to be preserved. On the
whole, our citizens will have no reasonable
ground FOR complaint against the Commis-
sion, and the overwhelming majority of
them will rejoice that our government is
under the control of such able men as Gov
Dennison and his associates

IT IS SUGGESTED that if employers would
initiate the example Of some of the English
merchants and manufacturers in changing
their pay day from Friday or Saturday to.
say, the beginning or middle of the week.
the habits Of our workingmen would be
considerably improved. The temptations
to a man who has money il his pocket Sat-
urday night are very great and there can
be no doubt if the change indicated were
MAIDS we should have less drunkenness,
lighter police calendars and happier homes.
The experiment in England has been a
great success.

tingent subscriptions from society organiza-

seems likely to be crowned with success.
1t has already succeeded in agreeing upon
some very important measures which can

them are the abolition Of large number Of
