The National Guard Controversy.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
L thank you kindly for the space given me
few days since III the columns of your valuable
journal in publishing my criticism on the pres
ent organization and formation of the National
Guard of the District and suggestions made
therein to how certain difficulties now con-
fronting the guard might be avoided. made
these criticisms only in my individual right as
a citizen and tax payer of this District and
without malice toward any one. / have been
urged by many friends to reply to Lieut. Har-
ries' letter published in The STAR of March
Is, wherein considerable personal abuse was
thrown at me, but shall refrain from doing SO
for the reason that do not deem the state
ments and insinuations made therein worthy of
notice. The gratuitous opinion expressed by
Lieut.. Harries as to the position and standing
of the independent military organizations OF
this city We all know amounts TO nothing.
Those honored organizations. existing long be-
fore Lieut.. Harries made his debut in this COM
munity, have made records Of which every
citizen justly feels proud. At no point in
either interviews or communications have l.
directly or indirectly. attempted 10 drag into a
newspaper controversy either the proud and
prosperous, well disciplined and well managed
military command of which 1 have been for
eleven years an active. and i believe a repre-
sentative member, or any other independent
military body, not ''misnomers," in this CITY,
The National Rifles, Lieut.. Harries well
conducting its own business affairs without the
assistance Of any outside influence. / am
pleased to state that have always enjoyed the
confidence and respect Of every member of that
gallant and representative body Of citizen SOL
diers in spite of Lieut.. Harries' assertions to
the contrary, and have been time and again
honored with almost every gift at its disposal
Therefore any reference that Lieut.. Harries
may make as to my connection with that Or
ganization is of little consequence.
In It,etn % l. hat
possess no enmity toward General Ordway or
the National Guard. On the contrary. regard
the general as an honored and honest citizen
and gallant soldier. In my judgment, however,
acting in my individual right and capacity as
citizen, 1 shall always claim the privilege Of
criticising any public measure, either civil or
military, when its support is drawn from the
District revenues. do not need the assistance
of any one to prop me up in such q moment Of
right Lieutenant Harries may enjoy all the
glory he may have gained from his personal
illusions to me. Ridicule is not argument

The Linden Street Fence.

To the Editor of The Evening star:
L wish yoL would give the cause Of the CD
pressed north side of this fence one word Of
advocacy. 1 look at the matter in this light.
Is it not equitable?
1. When A. l.. Barber a Co. bought the lie
Droit Park property there was public high
way just where Linden street now L. They
bought no right 10 close itup; they could sell no
such right III their sale Was una uthOrized the
purchasers must look TO that company and not
to the public for redress.
2 If the running OF that fence across Linden
street was to prevent the passage through il of
white citizens north Of the fence il was an in
fringement of public right which the govern
ment Is bound TO protect them against
B. III the running Of that fence was 20 Keen
Afro-Americans from the use of il, il is con-
tempt upon the first principles of our institu-
tions.
4. II, because this street has been shut. n com
munity has grown up TO the north Of IT, where
degradation and petty crime abound-as 10
claimed-one remedy is to make the neighbor-
hood more accessible TO public inspection.
5. III the running OF this fence IL "A detrimeut
to the property of citizens TO the north OF il. il
is material injustice to them-indirect rob

6. IL the running Of this fence makes the cit
liens north of II a longer journey 20 the pub
lie printing Office, or the Capitol. or TO market
or to church, II rs q moral injustice.
a. What night can any property owner in any
part Of the District have 10 insist ON what =

8. What claim can such property owner have
upon public improvements for which the citi-
zens generally are taxedl
y. Thanks to Congress and the President we
have got rid Of the pool rooms and the liquor
saloons; why cannot this section Of the District
have some Of the protection of the government
in the matter of this fence and come of the en-
enlargement OF the government in the matter Of
public improvements, such as paved streets and
sidewalks?
Mr.. Editor, / may be all wrong in this matter.

"What will Poor Mother Dosn

10 the Edltor OF Inc Evening Star:
A short time ago poor fireman was laid in
the grave who lost his life at the post of duty.
An appeal was made to the public in behalf Of
the widow and orphans of the brave man and a
generous public responded. Again has brave
man been stricken down and lies in Providence
Hospital, one leg amputated. his face and head
almost unacceptable for the mass of cuts and
bruises. The sister who SO tenderly nurses
him says that when they brought him in from
the street mangled and bleeding not groan
escaped him. No thought of his condition and
the terrible suffering he was undergoing seemed
to disturb him. 1t was to his dear mother his
mind wandered. The only words he said were:
what will poor mother do7'' 1t would melt
the heart OF stone to see him lying there pa
tient and brave. II suffer but little" he said
to one who was allowed to see him for few
moments. Surely, for the love of humanity,
men and women will respond to the appeal
made by sympathy in Saturdays STAR in
behalf Of Conductor Bronsugh and his aged
and invalid mother. HUxANIrY.

THE SEMINOLE INDIANS.
Kew. Father Ignatius Tells the President Tina,
Liquor is Being Sold Them,

The President yesterday granted an interview
to the Rev. Father Ignatius, the Episcopal
monk now lecturing here. and during the con-
versation. which ran on religious lines princi-
pally, mention was made of the condition of the
Seminole Indians in Florida, whence the monk
has just returned. He called the attention of
the President to the manner in which the whites
lntoxicate and rob the Seminoles and to the
harm that was being done the Indians. The
President emphatically declared that under
the law it was criminal to supply the Indians
with intoxicating liquors. and when Father Ig-
Mathis directed attention to the fact that such a
law, if not enforced. was practically useless.
the President promised to have the matter
looked into.
