District Government Affairs

LEGISLATION SUGGESTED CONCERNING TAX TITLES
The District Commissioners have addressed q
letter TO the House subcommittee on district ap-
propriations proposing an amendment TO the ap-
preparation bill which, in their opinion would
come the diniculty at present met with In at
tempting to enforce the collection OF arrears OF
taxes, now amounting TO about 81 100000 This
delinquency, the commissioners state, is owing TO
the fact that tax titles are so worthless that
no one unless interested In the property, win bid
at the sales. The difficulty is that the court re-
Quires the holders OF tax deed TO prove the legal
ity OF every step taken by every Official I'm relation
to taxes and sales This is overcome In most
states by making the tax deed conclusive evidence
that all formalites have been complied with. The
Commissioners think that q clause TO that effect
inserted in the appropriation bill for the district
would be legislation germane TO the bill, and very
desirable.

The Swain COUrt-Martial.
THE FINDINGS NOT YET RECEIVED By THE sECRH
RETARY OF WAR.

THE FINDINGS NOT YET RECEIVED BY THE SECRE-
RETARY OF WAR.
1t was learned at the War department this morn
ing that the findings Of the Swain court-martial
had not been received by the Secretary OF War. 1t
was further learned from unquestioned authority
that up to this morning the court had not even
voted upon the case. 1t was thought, however
that the duties OF the court would be completed
to-day and the findings submitted. All statements
regarding the verdict OF the court are premature,
but there is a very general impression from the
character OF evidence before the court that Gen.
Swain will be found guilty and his dismissal from
the army recommended.
1t 1s reported that but three OF the officers OF the
court are In favor OF an acquttal but nothing def
Mite can be known In the matter, all officers con-
necteQ with the court are sworn to SecreSy, and
would not be likely to endanger their commissions
by violating their oaths Those who have watched
the proceedings OF the trial are of the firm belief
that Gen. Swain will be severely dealt with.

Gossip About the Cabinet.


EX-SENATOR DAVIS, OF WEST VIRGINIA, NOT AN AsPl-
RANT-sENATOR JONAS AGAIN.
1t appears that ex-senator Davis OF West Viz
ginia, has voluntarily removed his name from all
consideration In connection with the Cabinet by
advising his friends that he could not, and would
not, accept any public position. Mr.. Davis says
that he declined reelection to the Senate in order
that he might give his attention to his private
business, and he could not now return to public
fe without too great sacrifice OF his property In
terestS. Mr.. Cleveland is to be In New York city
next week, where lie expects to meet many OF the
democratic leaders. Senator Gorman will probably
be In New York city at the same time.
The friends Of Senator Jonas express confidence
that he is the coming Postmaster General. He has
the cordial support OF SenatOEGOrman and all the
other members OF the nationa! committee who were
associated with Mr. Jonas Id the management of
the campaign. The suggestion lately made by
1ew southern democrats that 1t would be better to
give the south the Interior department than the
department Of Justice does not meet with any
faVor especially among prominent southern Con-
gressmen With almost entire unanimity they
agree that the south would much prefer to have
the Post Offlce department and the Attorney Gem
eraship, and that the Interior department, with its
control of the entire pension SYSTEM had better for
awhile remain In northern hands.
