SELF GOVERNMENT IN THE DISTRICT.
10 Me Editor.

am a good deal confused by what see in
the papers. For instance, in the Sunday
Herald read an article which, while con-
demning assassination and the use of dyna-
mite on the part of the Irish, still thinks they
have had great proyocation, aud sums up their
grievance In these words "The Irish people
are totally denied the right of self govern
ment."
That Is just rs true of the citizens of the
District OF Columbia, and even more so, for
the Irish elect representatives to parliament,
while we not only have no representative in
congress, but are even denied a hearing before
the committees.
On the other, hand the Star says that wo
don't want any self government and ought
not to have it, Why not If its deprivation
is such an injustice to the Irish? Or, il we
don't want it, and ought not to have ID, why
should tho Irish? If the people of the states
can govern us better than we can govern our
selves. why cannot the English do the same
for the lrishp
If, as many of the papers seem to hint, If
not say outright, the Irish are justified in
their course over there why should we not be
justified in doing the same here?
Mr.. Editor, do give us some light on this
subject, for | must confess l cannot see where
the consistency comes in. CITIZEN.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS.
To The Editor


No one who has given any attention to this
subject can fail to notice how common this
habit has become of late, and tho bad results
theretrOm.
The other morning in looking over THE
REPUBLICAN L came across no less than six
shooting ARRAYS and in an evening paper a
day or two afterward 1 noticed six more,
nearly every case resulting in murder.
This is q terrible condition of affairs for a
civilized people, There is no excuse for any
one in this community habitually carrying
concealed weapons, and somo means ought to
bo taken to stop Ii. If there are persons
whose business compels them to be out ut
night, aud 1t is necessary to carry u weapon
for self defense, then the law should provide
for their obtaining license from tho police
or other authorities to do so, and u record
should be kept of all such.
But in nine cases out of ten the parties who
go armed have no excuse whatever for IL. 1t
is the fast" young man, thieves, and
burglars who generally go armed and IL is
the liquor sold at the low dens froquen ted
by such that renders them so reckless in their
use, and that originates the quarrcls aud
broils which so frequently result in murders
and similar ARRAYS, not unfrequently causing
the death of innocent and respectable citi-
zens.
/ suggest to the district authorities, that
while they arc considering the subject of pO-
lice reform, it might not be amiss for them to
consider this subject also, with view of get
ting more effective law enacted by congress,
and at the same time see If a Recorder
Hacket cannot be found for police judge, for
in my opinion our police court needs reform
ing as much as the police force.
| do not believe there is another city in the
states where crime Is as inadequately pun
ished as right here in the national capital.
The whole matter needs general overhaul
