Yesterdays National Republican contains
the following interesting paragraph
81 Idonot know who will be appointed District Com
missioner, - said Senator ingalls,, chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, in reply to an inquiry
mau should name Democrat This Is the natOna
city-the National Government a dminutlye scale
and the Democrats ought to have representative on
the District Board. II is only fair to give the Demo-
Gratis one man on the board. II would be graceful
thing to DO, and better than ALL would be the right
thing. l would look around aud try TO find broad =
gauge man, one whose ID emOcracy Is unquestIOned
whose Interests identified with the Interests of the
city, and who is a large property owner but not
specuatOr; one. In brief who enjoys the confidence
OF the community. The appointment OF such man
would be guarantee of good faith on the part OF a
Republican administration, aud am sure 1t would
result benehoislly to the District. The Democrats In
Congress would have greater confidence In the board,
ard would be disposed 10 vote for liberal appTO-
pTlatiOns for the city,. When asked IL he had such
man Ia his minds eye he said; 'Mr. Richard
Mefflck Is tile type OF Democrat would like
on the District hoard. There are many such men,
and the President could very easily mud one who
would give general satisfactiOn.'
OF course it is out of the question for Mr..
Merrick to accept such a place, but he is
earnestly supporting William II. Clagett for
the District Commissionership, and Mr..
Clugett's appointment would be recognized
by the great maj jority of Democratic citizens
and property holders of Washington as
equally good as that of Mr.. Merrick, if the
latter's acceptance We're possible. Mr..
Clagett possesses all the requirements for the
place

An ominous paragraph from Japan an
nounces that the colonization department
there " intends to adopt the American sys-
Item of railroad building" With our
friendly feel ings toward the population of
the large and teeming " island empire this
is well calculated to excite alarm, Upon the
American system of building railroads will
probably follow the American methods of con-
ducting them, and then indeed we may bid
adeu TO all intercourse with the courteous
and brown-faced French of the East.
First will come the land -grabher, with his
preposterous claims to pregmpt the whole
globe, and hold it free of taxation until he
can dispose of i. at such prices as may suit
him. Then the astonished Japanese will be
initiated into the mystery of /" differential
"rates - from one point to another, and how
necessary it is for the board of directors to
have an immediate personal interest in the
prosperity of any place that expects to
profit by the railroad. Then they
will appreciate how pleasant it is to
have husband and father knocked
TO pieces on street crossing some dark
night, and have the parsimonious corporation
that refused to put gates there laugh at the
claim of his widow and children for relief in
their distress. Finally they will develop
that last flower of a perfected civilization, a
Butcher Vanderbilt, with his courteous
"Public be damned - and generous foretaste
of said damnation in Spuyten Duyvl horrors
and subterranean collisions in the darkness
of flooded and sitting tunnels But come to
think of it, perhaps these ignorant people,
who are only semi-barbarians any how, will
keep the public franchises in the hands of
the Government for the benefit of the whole
people instead of granting them out, as they
should, to Goulds, Vanderbilts, and such
other ornaments, for the creation of enOr-
nous private fortunes. But this would not
be the " American system at least, not
the present American system; and, moreover
We must remember that the United States is
Government by the people and for the peo-
pie, % not an empire in which the people
are own-trodden and abused by tyrants,
