be warmly Endorsed by suffering thousands in
New York, against the bifurcsted hog in all his
various manifestations. but especially in the
particularly obnoxious form in which he shows
himself i'll public conveysnces. Drunk and

be almost complimentary when applied to the
noisy, vulgar, profane brutes one sees fire.
quently in the elevated, sprawling their huge
dirty boots across the car. lolling over two or
three seats, splitting, swearing or reclining In
drunken slumber against the uncomfortable
next neighbor. The guards, as a rule, politely
ignore them and silent endurance Is the only
course 70 pursue for the passengers who do not
wish to be exposed to a blast of unutterable
vileness. Nor is this outbreaklng form his
only manifestation. A woman need not be young
or pretty either to attract the unwelcome at
tentions of the reptile known as the masher. -
And / have frequently seen girls
who were young and pretty stand
ing in the aisle of the car
IN painful discomfort under the persistent
staring of a line of hogs. who never thought for
a moment of relinquishing their seats TO them.
Special and well-merited attention has been
bestowed by the Sun upon the hog with the
half-smoked cigar. When one gets into a
crowded car on one of these warm afternoons
packed with people, among whom are many
Italian and Irish laborcrs returning from work,
the atmosphere Is not exactly what Mr.. Cole
ridge would call "a meadow gale in spring"

able. But TO enumerate the varieties of this
repulsive animal would be a chapter in natural
history far too long for my space. A wide and

that the average New Yorker" may proudly
claim tho pre-eminence of having the very
worst manners In the world.
IMPORTERS FIGHTING FOR LIFE.
The importers came back in very good spirits
over the reception they had at Washington
and the interest they aroused there. How i'm
mediate will be the effect of their
before the Senate committee remains 20 be
seen, but 1t is thought certain that the episode
will lead to substantial results, though possibly
at rather long range. As i said in a previous
letter the importers are loaded for war. They
are conducting an aggressive campaign all over
the country. of which the Washington upheaval
was only a symptom coming to the ~surfuce.
Politicians henceforth must take into account
this strong element, which, in its way, employs
as many OF the voting, toiling masses as do the
manufacturers and mining corporations. The
importers. too, are quite as near to the voting
consumer. Now that they have wakeG up 10
the fact that Congress is challenging their very
existence they mean to die hard.

elevation above that reached by the river dur
ing maximum freshet stages.
The other solution is to prevent access BY
the river to this district during freshet stages.
An estimate Of the cost of raising the streets
above freshet elevation was recently prepared.
the amount being 90, 020. 694. If we add for
cost and damage to private properties an equal
amount. the total cost of this work will be
4.041, 1888.
II this district is raised the flooding of the
streets during fpshet in the river will be
prevented, and, Where private properties are
provided with efficient batk-water sewer
valves, the cellars will be preserved in large
measure from the effect of the water backed
up by the sewers.
THE DYNE PLANS.
In order that access " the river TO the low
district during freshet stages may be prevented
1t Will be necessary to construct dykes on such
lines along the river front that the river will
not reach the low district. This will involve
the use OF pumping machinery to raise and
dlscharg into the river the storm water OF
this area, and, as it will be necessary to pump
the sewage Of this area, the question would be
to so add to the capacity of the machinery at
the pumping station that the drainage may be
provided for.
In order that the low drainage area may be
reduced as much as possible the drainage OF
the 1lber and Indiana avenue sewers near
their junction may be intercepted and carried
by a conduit by way of Arthur street. the Cap
ltol grounds, Delaware avenue, Canal street,
New Jersey avenue to the Eastern Branch.
This reduces the low drainage district to Zoo
acres, the rainfall upon which must be raised
by the pumping machinery. This scheme also
requires the construction of a conduit to carry
the surface drainage from the b street area to
the 1lber sewer, a conduit from the Ilber Sc wer
to the pumping station and the reconstruction
OF the bottom OF the Tiber sewer III order that
proper depth and gradient may be secured.
The constructions outlined and their opera
ton will cause a lowering of the subsoil water
in the low district with the resulting improv-
ing of sanitary conditions.
This general project has been brought to the
attention of the sewage commission, appointed
under authority of a provision in the District
appropriation bill for the fiscal year 18S9-lS9O,
and they have prepared estimates of the cost
of this project. as well as of others presented
for their consideration, and these estimates will
no doubt be submitted with their report upon
the sewerage OF Washington.

Royal" in all ways Superior.

I find the Royal Baking Powder to be absolutely
pure, containing no injurious article whatever. The
ingredients are only those proper for a baking powder
of the highest degree of excellence as to w~holesomeness
and strength. Its entire freedom from lime and alu-
nina, which are found in other baking powders made
from commercial cream of tartar, from phosPhates, or
with alum, is an evidence of the remarkable perfection E
to which this most admirable baking preparation has
been brought in respect to the purity of its ingredients
and renders it
much superior to any
other I have examined,
or whose composition
has been made known.

HUNTING NEW TESTIMONY.

oho OK tho Glenn Murdersrs Socks M I'm.
portnnt Witness.
1t appears that Thomas Kelly, who
with Ed Christy was convicted OF shoot.
ing Officer Joe Glenn when he cuucht
them in the act OF entering the house Of
John G. Hoffman, still maintains his in
nocence and has not relinqushed homes
Of establishing it. 1t is strange that
Kelly should 90 through the trial and
remain in prison until this time, with.
out suggesting a new item OF proof OF
Importance to him, and after all this
time recall it, but that ia what he seems
TO have done, from the following special
telegram printed in Pittsburgh paper
OF yesterday:
The following strange letter has been
received by the postmaster, dated
Moundsville, W. Va, November %:
"PostmaS'cr. uniontorn. Pa:
"Will you do me the favor to ascer.
tain the name Of butcher in your town,
who, in January, 1855, near mill in the
suburbs oi your city, had his horse and
wagon mired in the mud, and was
helped out OF the difficulty by tramp =?
am llfe prisoner in the West Vir-
glnla penitentiary, and desire the date,
ETC., OF the above transaction in order to
help show my whereabouts at q certain
time."
The letter concludes by stating, if the
man is found, and writes TO him, he will
ooblIge an innocent man suffering for n
fearful crime he never committed, and
who now seeks to vindicate himself.
The letter is signed by Y. B. Kelly, in
care OF Superintendent Van pelt. In.
quiries are being made for the butcher,
and, if found, there will probably be a
strange sequel to the little act OF kind
ness done by the tramp.

tion OF the Kansas Statesman.
Topeka, KANSAS, Nov. 2S.-An inter.
esting complication has arisen in con-
nection with the election OF United
States Senator to succeed Senator In
gals, and fthe plan Of action proposed
by the Republicans is successfully car
ried out, it would seem that the Senator
may succeed himself. An application
has been made to the Supreme Court to
compel the State Board OF Canvassers to
give certificates OF election to nineteen
delegates who were elected under the
provision OF the constitution, which
says that each county which has go
voters is entitled to representative.
The constitution ut the same time limits
the number OF members to l25, 80 that
in order to seat the nineteen delegates
from the sparse!y settled counties, it
would be necessary to drop an equal
number Of members elect from
the more populous counties. II the
court issues the mandamus and the
nineteen delegates are seated they will
vote for ingalls,, as they are so pledged,
which would give him eighty.three
votes on joint ballot, the number to
elect. II they are not seated and Sena.
tor ingalls, is defeated, the plan Of the
Republicans is to contest the election OF
his successful opponent in the United
States Senate, on the ground that the del.
egates we're entitled to their seats and
that their votes would have elected him.
Ii they are seated, and an equal number
OF member-elect are not dropped the
