THE Cheney Tribune Is ,still hot in
the collar because the county print
ing was awarded to the REVIEW.
In the work already done by this
Office the county Is far ahead on the
prices Of the Ti-iblme's bid, and II we
condsider the charges heretofore
made for county printing, as the re-
cords Of the Office show, the tax-pay-
ers can thank the REVIEW for stop
ping one Of the biggest leaks In the
county treasury. We know the ig-
ures and at the proper time the
"dear people" Will know how much
Is saved on few items by awarding
very small contract outside Of
Cheney.

JUDGING from the tone Of the last
issue the Cheney Tribune is fright
ened half to death on account OF the
possibility Of the question Of the To-
eatlon Of the county seat being sub
mitted to a popular vote. This Is
the first public intimatlon we have
had that such a thing was at all prob
able, and It interests. One thing as
tonishes us and that is that the Trf-
bUle should take any notice Of such
a trifing matter. According TO the
frequent reiterated statements Of the
Tribune, Cheney is a larger town
than Spokane Falls, It is better loca-
ted, 1t has the greater number Of
friends and therefore there would not
be particle Of doubt as to the result
n the question Of the county seat
should be submitted every year
Either the Tribune has heretofore
INDUCED in Missionary elap-trap, or
II has very recently undergone a
great change Of sentiment MS regards
tho relative size, strength and i'm
portance Of the two Ilaees. The fact
4 the Tribune has deluded even it.
self for sometime, and now as it
awakes from its sleepy lethargy 1t
sees the handwriting on the wall
and irembles. We do not know
whether or not the question Of re-
beating the county seat will ever
again b. submitted TO the vote Of the
people, but II II Is, and most fervent-

DR.. PIPER has a warm and sincere
enemy in the Cheney Tribune. The
inct that the Tribune does not feel
friendly disposed toward DR., Piper
Is sufficient to satisfy the people Of
the county that De, Piper has been
doing his duty without fearing the
lash Of the county seat organ and its
followers. The enmlty Of the T'-i-
5,ne against a man outside OF Cheney
Is a true indication that that man is
too honest, upright and independent
to be driven by the county seat
clackers.

TnE Cheney Tribune Is raking up
the county seat question, and has
rone daft fighting of imaginary
dangers We thought the county
seat question was settled for the
present. but II the Cheney paper
wants Il brought before the people
again, we are glad Of II. 1t is a local
quarrel In which we can take no
pleasure, but II the Tribune Insists
that the question be submitted to the
people again, we have enough con-
fidence In the intelligence Of the
people 10 know the result Of their
verdict at the polls.

STUDENTS AT HARVARD RENEWING TINE PETE
TroN AGAINST An ANCIENT CUSTOM
Last year the undergraduates OF Harvard COZ
lege presented the famous petition TO the over
seers of Harvard college asking that all religious
exercises should be voluntary 10 the undergrad
yates Of the university rs they are now 20 the
students OF the professional departments. The
petition was signed by $50 out OF !, Oeo students
In the collegiate department The overseers
This year the students determined 20 renew the
fight against the "Old Relic, as d f. familiarity

These members, twenty-four In number at q
recent meeting chose a smaller committee OF
one man nom each class, whose business it
should he 20 frame a prayer petition To this
committee was added the president OF the
larger committee, and the committee 10 frame
the petition was thus made up OF o. n Roberts
So eN offcio; John Huddleston, SO: q. Il. Fur
Der, 50; Lloyd Mex. Garrison, 'ss, and u. p
Trafford, SO This committee this afternoon
sent out paper for signatures asking the abo-
lition OF compulsory attendance upon prayers.
A long statement of the reasons for the petition
Is given under the following heads:
First-That voluntary attendance would
show the genuineness OF religious Interest
Second-That the sense OF compulsion IL not
conducive TO true religious feelings, and II out
OF place in a matter nj such moral moment.
Third-That the indulgence To men whose
iaith does not harmonic with the present forms
held in the college worship, tends Go show the
injustice OF any cOmpulston.
Fourth-That the concession OF optional
church services on sundays and the remission
., the compulsory praxars twice week a. at
the retention OF any compulsion.
flith-That such com pulsion is inconsistent
with the entire freedom allowed I'm the other
departments
siNthr-Because a large majority OF the under
graduates earnestly desire the abolition OF COM
pulsion i'm prayers.
In the event of rejection of the petition, the
committee desires full statement OF the
grounds for refusing the petition. Postal cards

national question raised, then deemed 1t best
not to ship the goods. Our papers were sent to
the custOm-hOuse and the customs officers
knew what was in them. There was no attempt
at concealment and everything was open and
above board. The only men engaged by this

he had been frequently on vessels that carried

any rifles or carbines were on the CITY of
Mexico, and he seemed to regard it as an out
rage that the authorities had refused to grant
license papers, as the vessel had violated no
law.

EXTENSION OF THE CITY.
Future Of the City OF Washington.
FACTS FROM THE REPORT OF THE TOPOGRAPH.
ICAL SURVEY OF THE DISTRICT.

The coast survey report. giving detailed re-
port of ali the work of that bureau during the
past fiscal year. was submitted to Congress
this morning. With relation to the Topographic.
cal survey OF the District of Columbia the re-
port says:
Commissioners with data for laying out new
and extending old roads, and for properly sub
dividing county property 1t is laid out in
suburban streets and lots. Its minute accuracy
will, however, make it OF use tor all time in
planning public works OF every description. 1t
saves the necessity of preliminary surveys i'm
connection with the extension of the water
works. and will accomplish the same purpose
when the city sewerage has to be extended into
the county.
THE OLD DISTRICT NOT TEN MILES SQUARE.
In connection with this survey during the
past season the four corner monuments of the
District, as established by Ellicott in 1871,
were identified and located. 1t was discovered
that the District was not exactly a ten-mile
square, the length of the four sides being as
3,O63.S.
The total area of the original District was
116.6 feet west OF the meridian OF the south
point, and the east point is 1886 feet south of
the west point. surprise is expressed at the &C
curacy OF Ellicotts survey through the wilder
ness.
EXTENSION OF AVENUES AND STREETS.
From data already furnished by this survey
preliminary plans have been sketched out for
the extension of the following avenues and
streets through portions Of the county: Massa-
chusetts, Vermont, New Jersey and Rhode Is
land avenues, 18th street and street.
At the beginning of the fiscal year work had
been advanced to Bladens mill, i'm Rock Creek
valley, and thence along the road leading to
BrightwOod road, and up 18th street road to Sill
yer Springs, and crossing the northeastern
boundary of the District west of Rock creek
valley, the work was completed from Woodley
lane, at WoOdley park, to the Northeastern
boundary stone of the new observatory site,
thence across the northwestern extremity OF
Georgetown Heights to the distributing reser-
vOir and the Potomac river. At the close of
the fiscal year Mr. Doan was at work extend
ing the Photography along Woodley lane to its
junction with TennailytOwn road.
The report gives the estimate for the bureau
to $56S, 900. The estimates for surveys OF
Chesapeake bay amount to $4,000 The report
recommends that the bureau continue as an in.
dependent bureau.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
In the disposition of the Huth case-the court
stated the law only-in regard to tn duties
OF parents and guardians in watching over the
safety of children of tender years while upon
the public streets. Nothing was said or intended
as reflection upon the parents in this case.
and should not have been so reported. 1t was
a clear case of accident, and was necessarily
dismissed. Intelligent citizens will under
stand that the court could only have intende
to have uttered u note of warming in the in

are required or permitted to he upon our streets
