COMMISSIONER Dou3LAss makes very
financial condition of the District. 1t
should receive prompt attention in Con-
gress. The apparent deficit for the cur
rent year will be SlsG, ,2S3.37, unless Con-
gress should authorize an extension of
time on certain payments due the United
States by the District. This extension, as
Commissioner DOUGLASS shows can be
granted quite conveniently. Congress
has only to authorize the District to pay,
in instalments extending over term of
wears instead of in bulk, the Districts
share of the Geological Park and the new
watcr-main fund. We do not share the
esteemed Posts opinion, that forcing the
District to pay its share of the Park ex-
pense is "high-handed robbery" or
concur in the assertion that the tunnel Is
an "abortion" which cannot be rescued
except at an expense of "a million or
more of dollars" The District has no
special reason to complain of its partner
ship with the United States, of which it is
the chief beneficiary, and as for the tunnel,
the Chief of Engineers has shown in his
. report that il will cost less than u quarter
of million to put that in perfect working
order. We agree, however, that il would
be a stupid and disastrous act on the part
of Congress to neglect the legislation nee
essary to prevent the impending deficit.
That neglect would involve an arrest of
our street improvement and would entail
variety of municipal hardships and mis-
fortunes appalling to contemplate. We
cannot believe that Congress will take the
responsibility Of such consequences.

THE SEIZURE OF TIE mail edition of a
Tennessee paper for an alleged violation
Of the Lottery law, prompts THE CRITIC
To observe that there must bein Tennessee
a different idea of the law from the one
which seems to prevail here. The adver-
tisement which made the trouble with the
Knoxville firm was one in which cloth
ing firm offered to send some oneto Europe
as the result OF competition in purchas-
ing Goods-the usual and familiar game.
But scores of such advertisements have
appeared in Washington papers since
the FORMULATION of the Lottery
law. People have been presented
with different prizes in guessing
contests, and large spaces have heen occu-
pied in the papers of the city by the an
nouncement of the terms Of such contests.
Why should the Knoxville paper be
seized and the Washington papers be sent
rejoicing through the mails? The law
ought to be enforced impartially or not
ut all. There should not be one rule for
Tennessee and totally different one for
ibe District of Columbia.

THE CRITIC HAsrEYs TO say that the pro-
posed baseball park should not be located
in the immediate neighborhood of the
Freedmen's Hospital if it can be shown
that it's location there will operate an in
jury to the establishment or its patients.
There is no occasion for any excitement
or bad blood over the controversy. II is
one that does not admit of argument.
Hospitals are nccessary--bascball is not.
Even If they occupied equal footing, the
Hospital has the advantage of possession.
But there is no such equality. Gviliza-
ton cannot exist without these charitable
institutions. Hospitals, asylums and other
houses of mercy and ministration are
the debt of society to the poor and
friendlcss. They are debts which must
lie paid. Baseball is mere pastime, with
out which the world could get on quite
pleasantly. II seems TO us quite clear,
therefore, that the only question to be de-
cided is one of fact II would be inhuman
and disgraccful to permit the location
near the hospital Of anything calculated
to harm or distress the sufferers within
its walls. We are quite sure that the
baseball people themselves would not
wish TO 90 this. There remains, then,
only the question of fact. viii the
proximity of the baseball grounds be in
furious to the patients? This ought TO be
easily determined. There can be no con-
troversy as to what should be done after
that.

The great value of petitions as expressing

has had another demonstration, this time
in Preston County, w. Va. James Carroll
is road supervisor, and not being able to
read or write, when he wished to resign
the ether day he asked DR.. Cox to draw
up paper 10 that effect, which he would
present to the County Court. Taking adj
yantage Of the road supervisors lack of
book-learning, the doctor drew up petit
ton to the court asking that the bearer,
James Carroll, be hanged at as early day
as would suit the convenience of the court,
and he would ever pray, etc. The court
was surprised when Mr.. Carroll, in person,
handed mp this petition, signed by $50 of
his neighbors and acquaintance. 1t Is
said that l50 persons had signed the paper
without reading it, and the other 100 had
affixed their signatures to help along n
joke. Tie incident is valuable only as
showing how officials are tao often made

The stock market was somewhat mixed in its
temper, but was on the whole firm and gave
indications that the deal iEaugurated last week
had eliminated Market opened nominally
higher on demand from shorts In the room, who
had become inbued with the idea that the de-
cline Of the last few days was the result of the
bear tactics only, and detecting the apparent
covering by leaders, followed suit. Opening
gains extended to % per cent, with 81. Pau,
Louisville and Nashville and Union Pacific lead
ing both advance and business done. This de-
mand was met, however. by the renewal or the
selling pressure, and al of the opening gains
we're wiped out with smell fractions in addi-
ton, Louisville and Nashville being the most
prominent in the downward movement. The
depression was evidently made to buy upon,
for a cessation of pressure was followed by
more quiet trading, slow but steady advance in
prices which soon brought prices up to and
beyond those Of the opening. and the upward
movement continued without a break during
the remainder of the day. Besides purely
speculative causes for the rally in the market, q
further reduction Of the premium on gold by
the Bank of England of a half penny, and the
temperance of the noted bear leader Cam
mack as a bull on the market, were powerful
enough TO make q general buying movement
among the professionals. The new change Of
front by Cammaok was interpreted as ar indi-
cation that Gould anticipates rise, as the
former is believed TO be very close to the latter
