THE MAJORS CALCULATIONS.

Maj. Meriwether argued his amendment
at some length. He said that great stres
had been laid upon the yielding of tn
coupon feature by the bondholders, but
really amounted to nothing if Legislation
could be coerced TO suit the purposes of tn
bondholjers. The major said he had mad
a computation, and he read the following:
Assume the debt to be 81, 800, 900, and Of
the Peters plan, at the end of six years, tn
principal would be increased from s., 750, 0O
TO SS,126, 402, and the interest would b

THE New York World Historically
shrieks:
The party Judge Foraker represents is en-
gagged in crusade against the personal rights
of individuals. With canting hypocrisy It pro-
fesees TO advance everybody's virtue and mo-
rality up TO Its own standard. 1t deplores the
"license" Of German habits, and regards beer
as a consuming vice. 1t assumes to put statu-
tory strait-waistcoats on the appetites, tastes
and amusements OF the people.
All of which is absolutely and ridicu-
lously false
The Republican party does not deplore
'the license Of German habits" and it does
not regard beer as a consuming vice." or
any other kind of "vice." Individual Re-
publicans may hold such views. There
certainly is one Democrat who does. His
name is Geddes, and he received over
seventy votes for Governor in the late
Democratic nominating convention at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, and these seventy odd votes
delivered to Hoadly effected his nomina-
tion.
Neither does the Republican party as
sumo 'to put statutory strait-waistcoats on
the appetites, tastes and amusements oi
the people," In Ohio the Republican
party proposes that whisky shall pay Its
share of the expenses. of Government.
That's all.

they have no voice or estate in its con-
duet and policies
Whether the existing wrong is to con-
tinue depends entirely upon the spirit of
our citizens. If they are craven enough to
submit tamely to their present lot, that
will afford abundant evidence that it is de-
served and they are unworthy of a higher
estate. If they do not want Suffrage and
self-government, then they should not be
permitted to share it; but we have conf.

Power in the hands of wise and just men
is seldom, if ever, abused, but wisdom and
authority are not always yoke-fellows.
Congress had the power to rob the people
of this District of the right of suffrage, but
that act afforded no evidence of wisdom
and high sense Of justice on the part of
our lawmakers That government which
seeks the greatest amount of good to the
greatest number of the people governed, is
wise and benefcent, and will
stand the test of time and vicis-
situde, but when it seeks to
exercise power unjustly and without
proper regard for the rights and interests of
the people, it brings weakness to itself by
loss of popular confidence and respect
No matter who exercises the prerogatives
of power, whether 1t be the Chief Execu-
tive or his subordinates, the fabric of gov
ernment becomes strong or weak just in
proportion as the popular wish is consulted
and respected. Right is right, no matter
who is responsible for it, and palpable
wrong can never be tortured into right
by human ingenuity or sophistry. The
people of the District of Columbia are de-
MED the right OF suffrage, which is the
true badge to citizenship. No one, who
has just appreciation of what is due to all
the people who live under republican
form of government, will attempt to defend
such wrong, and yet it has con.
tinued for years, until the spirit
of such policy permeates the whole
structure OF government at the National
Capital, and our people, in the main, are
counted as political nonentities In regard
to local appointments, they are treated in
the same spirit that deprived them of the
dearest right of citizenship. Their wish
aud preference are seldom, If ever, sought
or consulted, and when they are proftrel,
they are disregarded as of no consequence.
The people of the District of Columbia,
at the present moment, hold but
little, If any. higher relation t1
the Government under which they live
than the serfs of Russia do to the ruling
power of that Empire. They are permit,
ted to live under the Government of the
United States, and bow in humble submis
sion to the tax-gatberer, but beyond thai

expedient of giving to its pauper immi-

Collector of Customs of the Port of New

upon that port. This order should cover
every port of entry on the Atlantic coast.

THE OPEN SALOONS.
A List Of Bar Owners Who Have Been Con-
viCted Of Violating the Sunday Law.
Also Those who Have Been Selling After
Hours and without Licenses.

Mr.. A. Kalstrom, the grand worthy chief
templar of the district, has addressed q letter
to the commissioners, in which he reminds
them that in tho instructions to applicants
for license to sell intoxicating liquors issued
under date of Sept. 81, 1883 they say that
"licenses will not be granted to any party
who during the preceding year has been con-
victed of selling liquor upon Sunday or during
the hours prohibited by law, or without
license; to any party keeping place where
idle, noisy disorderly, or suspicious charac-
tors congrcgate; nor to any party who shall be
shown to the satisfaction of the commissioners
to have knowingly given or sold liquor to
any confirmed drunkard or to any intoxicated
person."
Similar rules, he says, have been made in
years gone by, but they have hardly been
lived up to in satisfactory way. He there
fore encoses list, copied from the records of
the police court, showing the names of those
proprietors Of drinking places who have been
convicted either of violating the Sunday law,
of selling liquor during hours in which it is
prohibited, or of selling without license.
This record covers only the convictions had
between Nov. 1, 1882, and Oct. 4, 1883 1t

but the number of times they have been con-
victed.

The American orn,thoioglsts, Union.

The American OrntthoIogists' Union.
Upon the invitation of Profs. Allen and
Brewster, Of Cambridge, and of DIR. Coues, of
Washington, large number of the leading
ornithologists of the United States and Can
ada met last week in New York and founded
an association under the above name to pro.
mote the best interests of American orni-
thology. A constitution was adopted, COM
mittees were appointed in the various depart
meuts of the science, and the work of tho
union was laid out for the ensuing year.
Among other things, DIR. Coues appointed as
chairman of the convention, committee to
investigate the alleged inoligibility ofthe Eng
lish sparrow in America, and to lay their re-
port before the union at the next annual meet
ing. This committee consists of DIR. j. b.
Holder, of the American Museum of Natural
History, New York; Mr.. IL. A. Purdie, of
Boston, and Mr.. Il. =. Bicknell of New York,
and the question will doubtless be soon set
tied upon the authority of the entire body of
leading American ornithologists. A large
number of foreign, corresponding, and asso-
ciate members were elected, in addition to
list of about fifty active members, including
the founders of the union. The officers Of the
union are j. A. Allen, president; Elliott
Coues and Robert Ridgway, vice presidents
G. Hart Merriam, secretary and treasurer; S.
+. Baird, George w. Lawrence, William
Brewster, II. w. Henshaw, and Montague
Chamberlain, councillors. The utmost har-
mony characterized the proceedings, and a
great scientific association was successfully
established. 1t was evident from the first
that the convention had not been called in
the interest of any faction, and the wisdom of
the founders was proven by the result of their
delibprations.
