Under the terms Of Senate resolution the
Commissioners are directed TO report to the
Senate in December next plan for the ex-
tension Of the streets and avenues OF the
city on IFS northern boundary, with esti-
mates OF cost. Although 1t Is but four
months to the assembling Of Congress and
less than that 10 the time when the annual
estimates are sent in by the Secretary ofths
Treasury, We trust that the Commissioners
will give this matter the thorough considera.
tion it merits. The minute typographical
survey Of the District must have progressed
80 far as 10 enable the Commissioners easily
10 decide upon the plan Of extension. AS to
the cost, that is a matter Of estimate which
will take more time. The Commissioners
should not delay day. They should be
ready to press estimates for a portion at
least of this extension before the Secretary
Of the Treasury, and may even ask the
President for friendly paragraph in his an
nual message. They should make such
thorough report TO the Senate as to leave no
excuse for inaction. This 10 a matter Of the
greatest importance to Washington, and II
should receive from the Commissioners the
attention II deserves.

The English papers are calling bad names
because the extradition treaty was not
rushed through the Senate. II Ifwecould have
proper assurance that England would carry
out an extradition treaty in good faith, there
might be cause for this complaint. As 1t is,
the history Of English practice under past
extradition treaties shows that she does not
live up to their spirit. She has always con-
tended that she should be the judge how far
she would execute them by means Of local
laws. John Bull Is a great growler when he
does not get his own way in everything.

Words are not strong enough to express
the reprobation which ought to DO felt To-
ward the Republican majority in the Senate
for the failure Of the FortiGcations bill. Be.
cause the House would not grant as large a
sum as the Senate wanted the latter will take
nothing. Argument is not needed TO show
that such course Is wholly unjusti6able.
No coordinate branch Of the Government
has right to set itself up as sole and final
Judge in such matter and refuse any rea-
sonable compromise. The Senators who de-
feated this bill aud postponed the initiatory
steps for providing for the common defence"
perhaps thought they were sharp politicians,
but they renouncsd every claim TO be regarded
as either statesmen or patriots. "lf you
twill not grant 50 ,Oo0, 900 for a steel plant
sand cannon" say these Senators, "ws
will not agree TO appropriate anything for
"these purposes. Yet public opinion
unanimously demanded that something
should be done in the way Of beginning to
provide for the defense Of our coasts and
cities, and the very Senate which defeats
any action admits the necessity. They have
caused the bill 10 fail in the hope OF laying
the opprobrium therefor on the Democratic
party. Such conduct on the part Of legis-
lstors is simply dishonest aud will fail Of
accomplishing its purpose.

The appropriation for the extension Of the
Washington water works is secured, but
there is some danger OF delay awaiting the
report Of the Board Of Engineers, although
the Secretary Of War can direct the continu-
alton Of the work pending their report. We
hope they will hurry up. Enough is known,
without making any further examinations
on the ground, as to what ought to be done.
OF course there are differences Of opinion on
this ~ on every question Of engineering;
but the board can come to conclusion upon
all the known facts now in possession Of the
Government, aud act at once. Very yalu-
able time has already been lost. Meanwhile
many parts Of the District are suffering from

The extension Of the bridge-wall along the
line of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad
through the depot reservation will take away
somewhat from the dangers attending the
approaches to the bixth-street bridge by
vehicles drawn by spirited horses. Congress
never would have permitted the occupation
Of the reservation but for the popular desire
TO have better railroad facilities. Since the
completion Of the Baltimore and Potomac
passenger rates have been greatly reduced,
while the rates Of speed have been greatly
increased, and the accommodations given
the public have been better. This is the
price Washington has paid for the oocupa.

TIE Democrats of Baker county
held their mass meeting on Tues
day to elect delegates to the Con-
gressional Convention, also to
choose delegates to the Ninth
Senatorial district convention.
Tie contest was sharp over
both delegations.
Mr. Guerry, candidate for Con
gress, had made personal can
vass of the county, and Mr.. Turn
er also had friends who went
through the county in his behalf.
On Tuesday morning Turner
and CHERRY met at Newton and
addressed the people. Mr.. Turn
er's friends, seeing that he was in
danger of losing the county. sent
him telegram telling him that
his success depended upon his
presence, and urged him to be in
Newton ON Tuesday. He came,
leaving Washington on Saturday
night, and Tuesday morning he
arrived at Newton te and Mr..
Query on the ground. A joint
discussion was arranged between
the friends of the two candidates,
and the speaking took place be-
fore the delegates were elected.
The News and Advertiser had
no representative present, and
will not undertake, upon mere
"heresay," to report the speeches.
All reports agree, however, that
both gentlemen were on their
mettle, and that the occasion was
an interesting one.
After the speaking the conven-
ton resolved itself into a sort of
primary election, and the voting
for choice of delegates COM
menced.

majority of % votes.

$1t0 a Tree.

The Brunswick Herald says:
The idea that yellow pine is
played out iii South Georgia is
absurd. Nowhere else in all the
world can larger trees be obtained
than around Brunswick. James
Holmes, of this city, has a con-
tract with the Hilton Timber and
Lumber Company at Doboy, to
furnish the largest hewn timber
in the world. No tree is to be
less than 70 feet long and 10 inch
es square at the small end. These
he obtains in abundance on Wool
ly Island, the property of John
Ward, of this city, and for each
one he pays So apiece. His
base Of operations is Jamaica, in
this county, and it takes 24 yoke
of oxen to haul each tree, and
then only three trees are hauled
to Jamaica in two weeks. Each
tree, when hewn and hauled to
the point of shipping, brings
Holmes $40.
