washington Letter.

As 10 Arthur there are two opinions about
his slow methods OF Official action. One is that
no Is proceeding with consummate sagacity,
tact aud self poise, as a Stalwart leader, to
carry out well-defned purposes ana well-laid
plans. Tho Ott er theory IS that he lacks back
bone, is dreadfully indOlent Is afraid 70 act or
10 confer with anybody as 10 what he shall DO,
and that be trembles Whenever Mr.. Blaine
that he has picked out q Cabinet OF men who
have no strength as party leaders, In order
that be may have no Interference with his own
plans as party leader. The opposite idea Is
that he Is afraid Of young, strong and active
men, ana that he desires 70 have none but
sworn friends OF Grant about him.

rne Admission of pano,n.

This mornings Iosi displays Its usunl learn
ing by giving "Five Sound Objections" why
Dakota should not bc admitted rs State.
There Is more In the "sound" than In the cob
iectlons."
The first objection Is that the Territory has
not the requisite population. There is no such
thing as a "requisite population" because
neither law nor custom has ever fixed any
number OF Inhabitants as a prerequisite to tho
admission II a state. Ohio was a1mtte with
1O,000 populations Nebraska, 10000; Kan
sas, $4,000; Nevada, 60,o00, and Colorado,
10000. None OF the States that have been
admitted In tho last thlrty-five years hnd rs
large population as Southern Dakota has
now.
The second ''sound" objection Is that her
resources and geographical status have not
arrived at n condition of "maturity." VIII tho
PCst be kind enough to tell us what Is the
Maturity of a. Geographical Sfatuse
II unable TO answer, Will Il be kind enough 10
inquire of that portion OF the committee that
made that remarkable report The third
"sound" is that the admission of Territories
before they have the requisite population and
development Will "prove injurious TO our sys-
TEN OF government and unjust to the larger
States" We suppose this means the large
States of Vermont, Delaware, Rhode Island
and the like. Tho Post and Its committee
therefore argue that the admission OF Ohio,
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, ETC., with
their then small population has been very In
furious TO our system OF government.
Tho fourth "obiectlon is that the Changers
are opposed to admission. II the Post and the
committee had read THE CRITIC some days
ago they would have found from facts then
and there given that this statement is ahso
lutely untrue But If II were true 1t would be
the very reason why the Territory ought to
be admitted. III large community of
The Wealthtcst Wheat-Growers
In the country care so little for self-govcrn-
ment that they prefer to be supported at the
expense OF the General Government 1t is the
duty Of Congress TO tell them: ave Cannot
allow you to be burden upon us. You must
support yourselves"
The fifth unsound objection ia that the effort
TO secure the admission is purely a political
movement, and that not one Of those who mp
peared in Washington was an agricuturlst.
The Post and It's committee were surely indus
trious IN making the acquaintance OF the great
number OF persons who came to Washington
in the interest OF Dakota, so as to ascertain the
calling of each one But some of those gentle.
men must have deceived the Post and the com.
mittee, and denied their calling, for out OF
eighty delegates who were here at one time,
Nineteen Were Agriculturists.
and we Will be glad to furnish tho Post and
the committee their names IL they desire IL.
If such nonsense as this is to keep Dakota
out Of the Union, truly the wisdom and justice
OF our lawmakers is below par.

THE value of the taxable real estate of
the District of Columbia for the next fiscal
year is placed at $s6,o07, ,79l, and the rate
of taxation is one and one-half per cent
There is besides Sl,i65,367 of agricultural
lands at one per cent This would produce
S1,334,770, while the personal property, es.
timated at $4,000, ,000 would produce $780,
600, a total fsom real and personal prop.
erty Of 81, no, taxes to be collected from
real and personal property.
But strange as it may appear, the Com
missioners say that only eighty per cent.
of this amount can be collected-that is,
that only 81, ,1s7, SIG of this sum can be COL
lected, There must be some very great
defect in the tax laws of the District, or
some very inefficient work in the Tax Col
lector's office. THE CRITIC will soon know
whether the fault is in the law or the Off
GERS, and recommend the necessary changes
in the one or the other.

THE HOPE is expressed from many quar-
ters that the resolution of Mr.. Murch, in
regard to an investigation of the Washing

stay there long, THE CRITIC will endeavor

THE UNITED KINGDOM.
The Arrears BuI-SalisburY's Views
ON the Measure Henry George
Again Arrested.

LONDON, August 10.-The NeaOs under
stands that at meeting OF the peers yes
terday, at which Sir Stafford Northcote was
present, it was decided to abandon the first
amendment to the arrears bill. It also un-
derstands that the autumn session Of Par
lament will begin on the oath OF October.
In the House of Lords to-day, Lord Car
lingford, Lord Of the Privy Seal, moved the
adoption of the amendment of the House OF
Commons to the House of Lords amend
ment to the arrears bill.
Lord Salisbury said the object OF his
amendment to the bill was to provide against
injury to landlords who had SOL
vent tenants. He believed, he said,
that the bill was public plunder,
aud that 1t would not be a final measure.
A bill without a provision requiring the
assent of the landlords, would be most
pernicious, and an act of simple rob-
sisted in passing his amendments con-
sidered it not advisable to reject the
bill. He, therefore, would not challenge
a division. He also stated that q meeting
of Conservative peers at his residence to-
day decided by an overwhelming majority
that, in view of the state of affairs In Ire
land and Egypt, it was not expedient to
regulate the arrears bill. He said he was
rot Of that opinion, but he found himself in
a small minority.
All the amendments Of the House of Com
mons to the arrears bill were then acquieeced
in without division. The Earl of Limerick
and the Marquis Of Waterford recorded
their protests.
DUBLIN, August 10.-Henry George was
rearrested today under the crimes act at
Athenry, as he was about to board the train
for Galway. Mr.. George protested. He
said his arrest was persecution, as he had
previously given a satisfactory account of
himself to the Loughrea police.

Central and Rock Island. But in the final
dealings the market fell of a to 1ss per

Mr.. VIM. NJ. Wadley was truly remarka-
bic illustration of the self-made man. When
very young man he worked at the anvil in
Northern State as blacksmith. Subse-
quently he came to this State, and when the
late w. W. Gordon, Esq, was President of
the Central Railroad and Banking Company,
he was making brick out on the line, and
later, when Mr.. r. NJ. Cuyler was President,
he was serving faithfully as one of the
company's supervisors. He was one OF the
company's first bookkeepers, serving both
in this capacity and as Superintendent at
the same time, carrying his accounts in his
hat when out on the line, and referring to
that novel receptacle when giving informa-
tion about the business of the road. Mr..
Wadley became President In 1866 or 1867,
and has served as such ever since. He was
physically and mentally giant, an indomi-
table worker, a shrewd, clesr-headed, safe
business man, and possessed an amount of
pluck which, added to his other characteris-
tics, brought the eminent success which he
90 well deserved, both to himself and to the
great corporation over which he presided,
and with which he was so thoroughly identl-
fad

The American Bar Association
Supreme COurG Relief.

SARATOGA, August 1O.-At to-daV's ses-
sion of the American Bar Association two
reports were presented on the subject of
relief for the United States Supreme Court,
the majority report, signed by John w.
Stevenson, Charles s. Bradley, Rufus King,
Alexander R. Lswton and Henry Hitchcock,
faVoring for the purpose mentioned the es-
Enlistment of intermediate courts of appeal
10 the several circuits.
The minority report, signed by Edward J..
Phelps, Cortlandt Parker, VIM. N. Evarts
and X. I. Merrick, proposes among other
things division of the Supreme Court into
two or more sections for the hearing of
causes upon their docket, except such as
should go before the whole court, such sec
tions not to be made by permanent assign
lnent OF Judges, but by such system of
division as may be found expedient, no
Judge to sit upon a review of his own
decision, and causes not to be distributed by
their subjects but according to the discre-
tion OF the court under such regulations for
the dispatch Of business as they may deem
expedient
Thomas j. Semmes, of New Orleans, read

In Louisiana" It was long and carefully
prepared statement of the laws governing
persons and property In Louisiana under the
Code Napoleon, as modified in the past 20
years or more since its adoption, and went

of the United States Supreme Court were
discussed for most of the afternoon, and
went over until to morrow without action.

TEXAS SUGAR.
AdaptabilitY of the State for the
Growth OF the staple.

LONG BRANCH, N. j., August 1O-At the
afternoon session of the Tariff Commission
communication was read from Mr.. T. W..
House, of Houston, Texas, in reference to
the production Of sugar in that State. 1t
states that large area of land there is ex-
tremely well adap ed to the growth of sugar
cane; that the lands are never
Overfowed, that the cane ''ratoonsp
well for three or four years, and that the
chief area of production at present Is on the
Brszos river, where the crop in 1880 was
about 6, 800, 600 pounds. A district of one
hundred miles long by seven miles wide,
or some four hundred thousand
acres on the BraZos, is peculiarly
adapted to sugar production. Also another
district on the Colorado river, which in 1880
produced about l, ,250, 900 pounds. These
two districts are said to be capable of pro-
ducing half the quantity of sugar consumed
in the United States. II that industry
were only sufficiently protected any re-
duction of duties on low grades of sugar
would indict incalculable injury on the
sugar growers Of Texas.
