THE DIS fRIcT TAX BILL.
Few Important and Pertinent eu.,tion,.

A Few Important and Pertinent Questions.
70 the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: am at a loss to know upon what princi-
pie ofjustice the parties who framed the tax bill
submitted to the House Committee on the District
Of Columbia on Saturday last, taxes the mer-
chant four dollars per thousand on the amount Of
his capital when banks and bankers are only
taxed one hundred dollars per annum and one
fortieth Of one per centum on the average amount
Of deposits held.
A bank or banker, with capital of 500, 900, and
with average deposits to the amount Of 5000
goo, would according to this bill, pay In all but
$3.50 per annum, while the merchant, with a capt.
tai Of but one nth Of that Of the bank or banker,
and with no deposits to operate on, would have
taxes. ~ " ~ ' f'' ' ''''' :"
And then there are the city passenger railroad
company, for instance. has forty cars, which, &C.
cordipg 10 the proposed bill, would be taxed each
go, making $40 as the entire tax on this corp,r-
alton with Its enormous capital and with an I'm
mepsely valuable franchise; while the livery
stable keeper, whose capital consists only Of HIS
o number Of the latter equal 70 that Of the raii.
road conmpany's cars, he would have to pay in ad-
diton TO the 500 (slo Oh each csrrisgej an add.
the number OF stalls. His tax therefore would
exceed that Of the railroad company BY that
amount.
And then again the Gas Light Company seems
to get of as lightly as do the banks, bankers and
railroad companies.
Whilst the citizens Of this District are almost
to q man opposed to personal tax and are In
favor Of the general features Of the bill handed
to the District Committee on Saturday, they will
most certainly insist that in any tax OF whatever
character which may be levied, that every inter-
est shall be made to contribute its proper proper
ton.
And any one who for q moment reflects on the
subject cannot fail to perceive that by the terms
OF the proposed bill banks, bankers, city passen-
ger railroads, gas light companies and the like
are favored al the expense Of all other interests
taxed. JUSTICE.

Porous Plasters.

Porous plasters have been much improved re-
Gently in BEHsoS's CAPCINE PLASTER, by Q
new method Of treating the rubber 60 that It
contains more electricity than formerly, one Of
the qualities for which a porous plaster has been
especially valued, and by the addition Of Cap
cine, which causes the plaster to act immedi-
stely and makes It the most reliable remedy
known for colds, rheumatism, lameness Of the
back ard muscles. kidney complaint, or any OF
the diseases for which porous plaster or lini-
ment has been used. The manufacturers are
pleased to learn that there Ia a large class Of
conscientious druggists who, having become con-
WINGED ef the great merit Of BEHsoN's CAPcINE
PLASTER, recommend It in preference to all
others. or such are E. Drehn, Newark, N. J.;
Chas. AIthan and NJ. NJ. Cook, Brooklyn, N. Y:
Thompson, Lilly & Co., Baltimore, Nd; Robert
Powers, Richmond, Va. Vincent, Of Broadway.
Gulick Berry, Terre Haute, Ind, say "they
are convinced from results from sales there that
they are much superior to ordinary porous
plssters;" Cole Il Flynn. Dsnvllle, Va, say
"tbey have given satisfaction in every case;" W.
7. Weber, Springfield, Mass, says, They con-
stitpte an advertising medium in themselves"
Thus speak many others. The manufacturers
also regret to hear that In some instances drug
gists, acting from pecunisry motives, as not so
large profit is made on them as on ordinary
porous plasters, have used their influence to per-
suade their customers TO substitute some other
article in place Of BENsos's CAPcINE PLASTER.
When you ask for BRNsoN's CAPcINE PLASTER
be sure you get nothing else. Price, Is cents.

THE WAY OF TIE CROSS.
Blessing the stationE-Interssting Ceremony
at St. Dominics.


A beautiful and interesting ceremony was per.
formed last evening at ST. Dominic's church, co.,
sisting of the formal blessing of the stations
recently placed in the church. The stations four
teen in number, have been placed on the walls Of
the church between the long windows, seven on
each side. They represent different scenes in the
last hours OF Christ. The figures are in bGS relief
and the whole is worked in stone composition
peculiar 70 Munich, where the casts were made
The fourteen stations, beginning at the FIRST rep
resent Jesus condemned to death, Jesus made to
bear his own Cross, Jesus falling the first time
the meeting with his blessed mother, the cross
laid on Simon Of Cyrene, Neronica wiptn2 the face
of Jesus, Jesus falling the second time, Jesus
speaking to the women Of Jerusalem, Jesus fall
iug the third time, esus Stripped of his garments
Jesus FAILED to the cECss his death and Jesus laid
IN the sepulchre.
The church was filled with large congrega
ton, TO witness the ceremony. At seven O'Clock
procession Of altar-boys and clergymen entered
the sanctuary, and the choir sang the hymn,
IEeni Creator Spiritus."
Before the ceremonies began Father NJ. b
Fortune, the pastor, made few explanatory re-
marks. lie spoke OF the custom in former times
OF mullitudes OF pilgrims performing long and
painful journeys 70 the city Of Jerusalem, that
they might devoutly visit the places that were
hallOwed by the suffeTipRs Of our Lord. The
most ample indulgences, he said, were accorded
by the Sovereign POntifs to those devout pill
grims; but in course CT time the pilgrimage to
to the Holy Land became both difisu and
dangerous In the greater part OF Christendom,
and the Church. oestrous to encourage the devo-
those for whom, on so many accounts the iOur
Hey 10 Jerusalem was impossible, granted the
very ssme indulgenees TO those who should per-
form the Stations OF the Passion Commonly
termed the Way Of the CroSs-UiG crucis) IN
their own country. SO that IN those churches or
sacred placgs where the stations are blessed and
erected by the proper authority the indulgences
may be gained II the stations we're visited and
the passions at each meditsted upon.
In order to assist those who practice this useful
devotion, various prayers and forms OF meditation
had been composed, b 1t no particular form was
necessary in order to gam the indulgences.
Father Fortune then .-eetted the prayers pre-
stations. The procession marched around the
church and stopped In FROM OF each Of the sta
tions, when the priest spriuk ned them with holy
water also using incense. Retu. ming 70 the altar,
other prayers were recited, and the ceremony
concluded by blessing the cructdx.
The Way of the Gross, ria CTlcis, followed, as
is usual in the Friday evening services during
Lent and the services were concluded Ii the or1L
Iary manner.
During the procession the choir sang AVE

UNION RAILWAY.
a Protest Against its Proposed Route as De-
Structive Of Boundary Street and its In


To the Editor nr The National Republican:
SIR: On the 2sth ult. Mr.. Banks introduced "a
bill approving the building OF the Union railroad
of the District ofColumbia." After certain con-
ditions, &C., the proprety Of which do not wish
to question, 1t authorizes steam railroad 'salong
the banks Of Rock creek to street north, then
along Boundary street and outside of the same
to Tenth street, thence easterly, passing through
the grounds Of Howard University" &c. The
plain result Of the passage of this bill in its pres
emit shape, whether it should go under the streets
of the city leading into the county or not, is the
destruction Of Boundary street as drive, the
ruiDation OF the immense real estate interest ad-
jacent thereto, and the depreciation of the valua
bic improvements made in the immediate neigh
borheod Of this street. Il was supposed that part
Of the city SO recently increasing In value would
be free from the baneful effects that other por
lions baYe suffered from the Introduction of steam
railroads. There is neither public necessity or
convenience in the location Of this road 1cent
to Boundary street. The valley Of Rock creek at
or beyond the mouth Of Piney branch is its most
natural entrance to that creeks low grounds and
the least injurious route. II We are to hays
union Depot TO prevent injury to the city, the
least railroad routes In the city or It's vicinity Is
equally az desirable.
While we would not wish to peril the passage OF
the bill, we trust Congress will defeat the whole
measure rather than ipjure unnecessarily one OF
the most desirable parts of the city TO crafty q
corporation that cares little for the welfare Of
Its citizens and the beauty, pleasure and adcrn-
ment Of Its surroundings. NJ. w.
