THE death of Mr.. Duncan, congress
man and congressman.elect from the
York, Adams and Cumberland district,
makes double vacancy and imposes
upon the Democracy of that district the
responsible duty of finding a iit successor
TO the accomplished and popular repre-.
sentative whose decease they mourn.
Whether under the comfy existing be.
tween the counties, the successor be con.
ceded to Adams or the contest Is to be
opened up in every part Of the district,
it is TO be hoped that the canvass will be
conducted with decency and dignity.
In the counties OF Cumberland and
Adams the party organization has been
very badly torn up of late years, and it il
now greatly weakened by factious
wrangling and resulting recent defeats
IL this new calamity that has fallen
upon 1t will chasten 1t with some COM
mon sense 1t will be an agreeable sur
prise.

anawed q flle and now they are having
their teeth rasped on the figures from
New York city. Eight Assembly dis
tricts having been finished, Cleveland's
plurality has been increased by thirty
votes. In view Of this, it is no wonder
our local Republican politicians are
anxiously inquiring how many there are
yet to be heard from.

THE New York Herald makes the re-
mark which We made some time ago
in relation to the assault of the disa2.
pointed Republicans upon poor DIR.
Burchard for the r. r. II. poison which
he administered to Blaine namely that
they should rather abuse Blaine than
Burchard, since it was Blaine's failure
to seize upon the occasion to rebuke
Burchard and proclaim his own free
dom from sectarian feeling which
ruined him. Burchard really gave
Blaine the opportunity to make his elec-
tion sure but he was not quick witted
enough to seize it. A few years ago he
would have been equal to the occasion ;
for this sort of quickness Of perception
and readiness to seize upon opportunity
has been one OF Blaine's characteristics.
Evidently he has failed in mental as IN
physical ability /; and his childish course
since the elec tion confirms the idea that
he Is q wreck.

At last settlement has been made between the
elevated railroad companies OF New York and the
authorities OF that city by which the former have
PAID Into the municipal treasury the sum OF
81 25 53351 on account OF back taxes and interest
thereon. 1t Is understood that the amount of IN
paid taxes due from our several railroad lines to
the District treasury is considerably less than this
sum, but IL is still large enough TO afford consider
able relief to taxpayers who pay their taxes If
some means could be devised for compelling the
delinquents TO pay up. Is there no way, Messrs.
District authorities, by which this very desirable
end can be accomplished? VIII Leither grass nor
stones dislodge the bad boys from the tree? Or,
haven't the latter means been fairly tested?

By strict party vote the Senate took up the bill
TO admit Southern Dakota as state. This action
argues that the question will be treated from a
parthan standpoint, simply, and If this be so the
bill has OF course no chance OF passage at this ses-

be the democratic policy to keep out OF the Union

The sleepless woes suffered by Congressman
Hewitt from baker Kafser'S barking dog are set
forth in another column NJ. Hewttt's nervous
condition probably makes him unusually sensitive
70 evil OF this kind but there is no doubt that
the nuisance Of barking dogs prevails TO greater
extent in Washington than in any other city on
the face OF the globe, with the possible exception
OF Constantinople. The late Caleb Cushing SUI
fered much from it that falling TO get relief In
any other way, he prosecuted the offending dog
owner in the courts and gained his case. Mr. Hewitt
could probably secure the same relief by going to
the same trouble, but the District authorities
ought certainly to be able TO abate palp3ble nuis-
snces OF this sort without requiring the sufferer
appeal TO the courts for remedy. The authorities
used TO think they were helpless to abate the oys-
terhorn and streethuckster yelling nu1sances that
murdered sleep In the early morning, but they
found after awhile that they had both the right
and the ability to relieve the public of the evil. Ii
they had mind TO they could probably suppress
the barking nuisance. II IS manifesty OF the first
Importance to the interests OF Washington that 1t
should be made pleasant place OF residence, af-
fording all the comforts and cOnyenienceS OF the

only for dog-infested Indian village.
