The jury In the case of Crawford Co.
Indicted for maintaining an asphalt boiling
nuisance On street, failed TO agree,-standing
eleven for conviction and one for acquittai-
and were discharged yesterday. This In the
face OF the most conclusive testimony from a
large number OF respectable citizens as to the
1nsuferable nature OF the nuisance maintained
by the defendants. It Is safe 70 say that there
never has been a nuisance case In the District
courts in which the testimony was so direct
conclusive. and from so large number OF
responsible witnesses AS stated by District
Attorney Corkhill In his letter to the Dis
trict Commissioners, given elsewhere,) the
plea put In on behalf OF the defendants
WAS that they are contractors under the con-
1rol OF the commissioners, and are occupying
their present location By authority of the Com
mIsSioners- It appears. further, that the ground
occupied by Crawford q Co. is public ground
and they have used IL for some eight years
without the payment OF any rent whatever
This fact explains why they hold on so te-
naciou5ly to this locality, and insist upon main
tanning this outrageous nuisance within a
stones throw OF Pennsylvania avenue, despite
the protests Of the citizens Ia the main RESI-
denCe and business portion OF the city.
and In violation OF their repeated promises to
move at definite times named. The fact that
they refused to follow the honorable example
or Davis Co., lwhO had q similar establish
ment at another point On street,. In pleading
guilty TO the charge, and closing up business,
and that they have fought every attempt TO
force them 10 move, shows that they mean to
hold the fort In their squatter, reht-free
quarters. In this condition OF affairs, the
District commissioners will violate their duty
20 the public. IL they do not at once take steps
TO put il out of the power OF these insolent
paving contractors TO screen themselves from
punishment under the skirts of the District
government.

The republican members OF Congress have
formally resolved that they Will not take one
single backward step IN resisting the passage OF
the Morgan resolution. and the democrats have
determined that It Will never do for them to
back out. There are apparently more poll
ucians than statesmen in Congress. The people
OF the country have had enough OF politics for
awhile. and would gladly rest from any further
agitation OF this character for a couple
OF years. Upon the whole, perhaps, 1t is
lust as well that Congress should occupy
its time In carrying on war OF words. The
country is prosperiDg. All its affairs are work
Ing smoothly, and mischiev0us legislation is
about the only thing that can interfere with
this prosperity. There is 10 danger OF such
legislation while heated political dispute is in
progress Upon the theory that the less legisla-
ton there is, the better for the country the
pending debate IS not without It's good. The
passage OF the appropriation bills and OF
a funding bill IS all that Is really
needed Al The hands OF this Congress The ap-
pOItionment can well go over until the next
Congress, and should the river and harbor bill
fail, only few unknown streams and dry creeks
VIII suffer. Fortunately, the people are not
obliged TO read the Congressional Record. They
can go ahead with their business and ignore the
little oratOrical breeze that daily shakes the
southern wing OF the Capitol. II, however the
congressional orators supposed for a moment
that their fervid words were not being read by
their constituents, the debate would ineonti-
nently stop.
