AS will be noticed from a peru
sal of the Constitution, there are
three separate articles to be voted
npon-besides that article: Won.
an Suffrage, Prohibition and the
permanent location of the seat of
government. There is now Just a
month to canvass and talk over the
several questions and the officers to
be voted for, and to select the bet
ter side, in your opinion. The
constitution is an exhaustive and
comprehensive document, but if its
provisions are not Objectionable,
there can be no good reasons urged
for rejecting the result of the labors
of the learned men who composed
the constitution.

The reappointment of Commissioner Webb
by President Cleveland, if confirmed by the
Senate, will give to the District for another
term the services of the popular president of
the present board. The fact that Mr.. Webb
was born in the District and has spent his life
here has made him well acquainted with Dis
trict affairs, and his personal bearing has
made him many friends. The very
source of his personal popularity. his
easy, accommodating, yielding disposition, SO
subject to social and friendly influences, has
resulted in vacillating. corporation-con-
trolled official policy which furnishes the main
ground of criticism concerning him as a Com
missioner. If Mr.. Webb, with his pleasing
personal manner and his acquaintance with
District matters, were to exhibit greater firm
ness and decision and not mere suavity and
complaisance. freeing himself in his official
acts from the moulding of corporation infiu-
enee. of the interests of a single section of the
city. of personal friendships, and of the urgen-
cy of stronger-willed men, he would be a model
Commissioner.
