A Loud ssNO.,,

The question OF District suffrage has been
raised again, and the assertion has been made
that the people,-eyen those who formerly OPP
posed suffrage, were now In favor or return
To the ballot; at least to the extent OF electlng
delegate 10 Congress. ON this assumption bill
has been introduced in Congress providing for
y revival OF the registration and election ma
chinery Of the District In order to allow the
PEOPLE 10 elect a Congressional delegate. The
House District committee gave this bill the cold
shoulder, the other day, and that seemed to
dispose OF the matter, for the session at least;
but, it is stated, that the suffragists are still
urging the bill upon Congress with some per-
s!stency. as right demanded b. the people OF
the District Ii is also stated that these repre-
sensations have made some impression. and
that 2 member OF the House declares
a purpose 10 antagonize any District ap-
preparation or tax bill, with the demand
for District delegate, on the ground
That There should be no taxation without rep
reSentation. The STAR has expressed the belief
thai there was no such change OF opinion in
favor OF suffrage, and that the people wanted
neither return TO the '.feather-duSter" ballot
nor District delegate. TO set the question at
rest. however. our reporters have been sent out
to interview the citizens upon the matter and
a very fun and interesting exposition OF the
views OF a large NUMBER or business men, taX-
payers and others, Will be found In another
part ~ the paper. II VIII be seen that there
ale few In favor OF return 10 free suffrage
and the election Of delegate, and a consid-
cradle number would like suffrage with an
educational or property qualification. Quite
\ number TOO, would like a return to the old
municipal form Of government with a mayor
and council. But on the general question of
TetGSfattHV unlimited SnfTr1rn of no lata
and OF eiecting District delegate, the .'Noes"
have II BY majority that Is decisive. THE
STAR Is confirmed III It's opinion, and the House
District committee may feel assured that they
reflect the wishes OF the people in rejecting the
delegate bill

The project OF heating cities by steam, which
has found many advocates. has come UP not
only In New York, where the necessary author
lily for the laying OF pipes has been given. but
In cities farther south. Movements In the direc-
tion OF introducing such a system have been
made in this city and In Baltimore. IL viii be
time enough for Washington or other cities to
introduce the system after the experiment
which has been authorized In New York has
been tired and has proved successful. Hitherto
only limited areas, compared with that OF a
large city. have been heated by steam.

The San Francisco Daily Stoct Report fav0rs
secession from the Union on the part OF CALI
forna II the anti-Chinese bill fails to become a
law. This step would help matters amazingly
After waging successful war against the United
states the state might develop her resources In
her own way and by means of a population of
her own selection. In case, however by some
miSchance the Union should decide on the field
Of battle 10 remain Union. California would
experience some inconvenience in comparison
with which even the Chinese afiIiction might
seem tri!iing. Ii Is better to have a male popu-
lation that is half Chinese than 10 have none az
all worth mentioning. And il is better to have
trade, both eastward and westward with the
Chinese burden attached, than to be unlmpeded
and have trade in neither direction IL Is not
believed that the war cry * Either the chinese
of California must so" Will commend itself to
favor The right OF the Chinese TO come TO this
country is almost certain TO be restricted. even
II permission be obtained TO devise more credit

will not be taken under threat OF secession by

Whether the Chinese Embassy favOrS or OPP
poses tie MISREPRESENTATION bill depends
upon whether the members OF the Embassy
belong 10 the progressive or conservative ele-
ment among the Chinese. The bulk of the
people, but not majority OF the leading states
men or the more enlightened classes desire
that the nation shall stand still as 1t has for a
thousand years. The sending OF embassies TO
different nations has long been the aim OF the
progresslveS. Their hope has been fulfilled.
IT does not seem likely that ambassadors sent
under such auspices would approve the dis
courteous annulment by the nation to which
they are sent OF parts OF treaty that marked
The beginning OF China'S slow advance towards
modern civilization. An embassy Is not usually
sent 20 a nation for the purpose Of cutting Off
communication with 1t. II what we propose 10
do Is made the more insulting by desire on
the part OF those who sent the embassy TO pre-
serve existing relations. we cannot escape the
disCredit Of this aggravated discOurtesy

given to the news papers until after presented
| 10 the joint committees.
