HawIey, both of this city, wore united n
wedlOck ut the brides home on the evening
of December 3lst, 1888, rev. II: A.. Bushnell
of the Congregations church acting M
celebrante.
A pleasant company OF the immediate
friends of the parties were present, and
aided in making the felicitous occasion
even more joyous. A bountiful supper
was served and the bride and groom
were the recipients off number of very
valuable presents.
Both the contracting parties are we'll
known to the citizens of Mankato. Mr..
Ray has been identified with the city's
interests continually for about twenty
years, and still holds large property in
terests. He was cashier of the Citizens
National Bank for a number of years in
its early history, and since has served in
a like capacity in one of the leading
banks of Minneapolis for two or three
years.
The bride has been a teacher in the
city and Normal schools for many years
and has a large circle of friends who
unite in wishing her a full allotment of
connubial bliss.
1t is gratifying to Mr.. and Mrs. Rays
friends to know that they will remain
with us, they having taken up their resi-
dence on Lincoln street.
THE FREE PRESS joins in sincere con-
gratulations, hoping that long life and q
cloudless matrimonial sky await them.

WASHINGTON, OCTOBER %, 1886.
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INTERESTS.

a correspondent of the Stdr con-
cludes letter relative to the Massachu-
sets avenue project as follows at is
TO be hoped that the rival interests of
real estate owners may not be allowed
to defeat the grand scheme for extend
ing and improving the streets and ave.
nues of the District, as they have thus
far defeated appropriations for the new
postonico and District buildings"
Yet what assurance have we that the
same fate will not overtake the one as
has already overtokon the other so
long as the citizens of the District. us q
community, have nobody to represent
them at the Capitol excepting the par
ties directly interested as property
owners?
When the question Of selecting site
for the new City Postoillco was up be.
fore the House Committee only those
who had real estate which they desired
TO sell for the purpose indicated had
anything TO say or even put in an ap.
pearance. The feeling of the general
public was as much ignored in the mat.
ter as though II was none of the gen
eral public's business.
So it will be with the avenue and
street extension project unless some
measures are adopted for fair express
sion of the opinions Of the people at
large 1t will be cat and dog fight
between owners here and owners there
who want their outlying lots i'm
proved; and if one syndicate or COM
bination fail TO secure the legislation
which it particularly desires, then its
whole force will be brought to bear TO
defeat any Legislation at all by which
any other syndicate or combination
might be advantaged.
The only way to obviate these diff
culties is through the disinterested
action and influence of a Citizens AS
ISOLATION, which shall not be the en-
bodiment Of any special interest, or
trade or class, but represent all interests
and classes, or, in other words, and
as nealiy Us posslple, tue puplic seuli-
ment of the city. We do not want any
lobbies at the Capitol, with individual
axes to grind, but the people them
selves, through representatives of their
own choice, and in whom they can put
reliance, constituting an executive
committee which can be depended on
10 consult and advise, honestly and
fairly, for the greatest good of the
greatest number and all sections of the
District.

A MEXICAN DICTATORsHIP-D
NOT IN THE SCHEME.

The alleged scheme to keep Pres.
dent Diaz at the head of the Govern.
ment OF Mexico by making him dicta-
tor for ten years Immediately upon the
expiration of his Presidential term, has
a somewhat chestnutty flavor, but there
is no doubt this much in it. =
There are certain commercial inter
ests which fear nothing so greatly as n
change of administration, and general
election is always period of dcpress-
ing uncertainty, for the reason that it
signifies the next thing to revolution.
Could General Dlaz be 10 elected, or
could it be definitely assured that some
statesman of equally enlarged and pro-
gressive views, favoring the same gen
eral lines of policy, could be chosen
his successor, the politicians, mer-
chants and others who have profited
by the present administration, would
be entirely satisfied. What they want
is stability, and II the Government is as
well administered under President Diaz
as we are told by his immediate sup
porters it has been, 1t were better for
the people perhaps that he be retained
in office.
But when it comes to retaining him
there by the bestowal of dictatorial
power, we are inclined to doubt the
practicability of the undertaking. The
people of Mexico are not SO far below
other people in intelligence as not TO
know the difference between dictator
ship and Republic, or that while the
one tends to the greater liberty of a
citizen even under unfavorable and
imperfect conditions, the other is
but .one remove from absolutism, in
which the citizen is utterly without
voice.
The creation Of a dictatorship would
mean, In fact, the end Of the Republic
and ambitious as General Diaz may be
devious as the ways of Mexican state
craft undoubtedly are, we do not be
lieve that he would lend himself tC
such q scheme for a moment. 1t would
be downright treason to the principles
and sympathies he has always declared
and more than that, furnish the pre-
text for an aggressive and unfriendll
policy towards Mexico on the part o
the United States, which could onl!
end in disaster to himself and thu
institutions he has sworn to main
tain.

Posterity VIII Be Crowded,

Medical officers of health seldom specu-
late as to the statistics Of the future, but
DR.. Tidy of lslington has enlivened mis-
report on the reduction of the death rate
in the largest parish in the United King
dom by some startling speculations as to
what We are coming to II we go on multi
plying and replenishing the earth at the
present rate. At present in England each
man and woman and child has an aver
age elbow room OF one and a-half acres.
That allowance decreases annually, for In
place of 10000 persons on January / there
will be 10, $50 on December 81. If this rate
of increase is maintained in seven genera
tions our population will exceed that OF
the entire world at the present time, and
in twenty generations We shall be
1890, 900, 600 strong-that is to say, we
shall fill about twenty worlds as large as
the planet in one corner Of which we are
now crowded. DR.. Tidy wants to know
where our posterity is to ind standing
room, and we fear there is no one com
petent to solve his riddle. 1t is one con-
ISOLATION to think that that problem will
have to be solved, not by us, but by our
descendants.-[Pall Mall Gazette.

earned increment" subject first agi-
tated by John Stuart Mill, and some
few years ago discussed by Mr.. Hewitt
in an interview printed in the Brooklyn
Eagle.
Unearned increment is the increase
in the value of property inherited by
a person who never earned 1t, nor ever
did anything to enhance its value, the
augmentation or increment being the
result Of the work and progress of
other people.
Mill held that the people by whose
labor the enhancement of the property
was caused had right to the increase
in value. The renewed discussion on

Mr. William Warren, the we'll known
comedian, relates the following anecdote
which cannot be regarded as "chestnut." !"
At the house in Bulilnch place, where he
has lived for many years, they have a new
Irish servant girl. The other day, while
MIR. Warren and the other boarders were at
dinner, Mr.. Barton Hill, the veteran actor,
called to see Boston's great comedian. The
girl who answered the door bell inquired,

actor, in his peculiarly dignifed manner,

nTen-Pin-AlIeY Town.

EDITOR CRITIC: see that O petition has
been presented to the p. o. d. to change
the name of Tenleytown to Tenley, and the
statement is made that the place derives its
name from family of Tenleys, who for
merly resided there. 1t is not of much
consequence, but the integrity of history
should be preserved. A search IN the
archives Of Montgomery County shows the
original name to have been Ton-pin-alley-
town. Somebody knocked the pin down
and It was never set up, hence Tennaley-
town, then Tenleytown, and now we are to
have simply Tenley. CLIO,
