WHY We should be united.

In the next Presidential cleo
ton there will be 444 electoral
votes. For the Democrats to
elect a President they must,
therefore, secure 223 electoral
votes. Where win they come
from? is the question that natur.

mind. The solid South may
reasonably be expected to stand
by the Democracy as in the past,
This will give the Democratic
candidate l59 electoral votes
We have got to look elsewhere
for ga. If we carry New York,
New jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana We will secure 81, OF
three more than enough to elect
If we lose Connecticut we might
reasonably expect to make UP
the loss in Michigan, under the
new law of that state. But II
we were TO lose New York OF
Indiana, there might be serious
difficulty in making up the loss
elsewhere.
This is why we have contend.

cratic ranks in New York and
throughout the Union. We can
not afford to run the risks that
dissensions produce. The Re
publicans admitted new States
to strengthen their chance o.
holding on to the Presidency,
and for the Democrats, in view
of all the facts that confront
them to be warning among them
selves, is suicidal. There is on

A "DRY" POOL ROOM.
The Proprietor Asks for an Injunction, but
Ia Refused.

The Proprietor Asks for an Injunction, but
Is Refused.
Theodore 8. Slater today applied to Justice
Hagner, through MIR. ]. p. ONeill, for an in
junction against the District Commissioners to
prevent them from closing up his pool room at
1881 It'll street northwest and the Injunction
was denied.
Slater stated in his petition that he keeps what
is known as "dry" pool room; that there has
never been any limitation on the age of the
players. Surprising that the total alb
stinence character Of his place would
meet with the appreciation iof parents,
qe invested his money and was building ND
fair and honorable living, with promising pros
poets. He states that because of the accidental
and deplorable homicide of q boy in a dry
pool room on Washinstons birthday after he
and his companions had been to whisky pool
rooms, the event was seized upon by we'll
meaning persons, who resolved themselves into
committees and waited on the Commissioners
to have them blot out ''dens Of vice
and infamy,' and on March 25 following
the Commissioners issued an order prohibiting
minors from entering pool rooms. placing
dry" pool rooms on the same footing with
whisky pool rooms. He stated that his bust
ness has been broken up and he therefore
prayed for an injunction.
The justice said that the petitioner wished to
restrain the carving out Of the law, and there
was no equity in his bill.

THE WASHINGTON MARKET COMPANY.
The Commissioners have made response to
the resolution Of the Senate dated February IS,
1892, making certain inquiries with respect to
the Washington Market Company in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. In this response they say
that B street between 7th and 9th streets north
west, In front Of Center Market, has been paved
twenty feet out from the footwalk each side,
the rest Of the carriageway being left as hereto
fore, under authority Of the appropriation for
current repairs to streets for the fiscal wear end
ing June 80, 1892 and in accordance with nu-
merously signed petitions from farmers who
use said portion Of said street as q stand for
their wagons from which they sell market pro-
duce and for the public health and conven-
fence.
As to constructions by the market company al
legged to be distractions to the footwalk on B
street and the control. asserted over this foot
walk by the company, the Commissioners saw
the market company claims to be within its ar-
thorized bounds, and this Is a contention which
the Commissioners have no means Of deciding.
The answer Of the Commissioners also gives In
detail reports Of various officials respecting
the property Of the market company. The
rentals received, &c. Under the last triepnia,
assessment the ground occupied by the cor, 4.
pany WAS assessed at $3.50, 166 and the improve
ments at s18S, 900. The rental paid bv tbe
District for the use of the armory during the
last fiscal year was $4,000. The amount Of
franchise rental paid the District BY the com
pany in the came period was 81, 500.

SUGAR AND BINDING TwINE.
Two Things That Are Giving Congress Con-
siderable Trouble.

The sugar and binding Irvine questions are
giving Congress a great deal Of trouble. 1t has
suddenly struck q lot Of folks in both the
Senate and the House that refined sugar ought
to 60 the free list, and an effort is being made
to combine free sugar and free binding Irvine in
one bill and put it through both houses OF
Congress. The House has done its part as to
binding Irvine and there has been considerable
talk about sugar bill, but there are reasons why
the latter may not get through at this ses-
sion unless it is understood beforehand that
the Senate will pass it also. The PROPOSE
ton now is to get the binding Irvine
bill before the Senate, and for some
western republican Senator to propose as an
amendment to it proposition to put refined
sugar on the free list. 1t is believed that a
large number of the western republicans Would
be compelled to vote for bill containing two
features which would be immensely popular in
their sections of the country.
Senator Perkins, when asked about the mat
ter said that he had been informed that the
binding twine manufacturers had entered into
an agreement by which the price of binding
Irvine was to be greatly Increased. The
action Of the western Senators, he said,
would depend largely upon whether or nor this
information we're correct In response to the
reduction of the duty on binding Irvine made in
the Mckinley bill, he said the price had gone
down to cents per pound to the western
farmer, while the Canadians had been paying
IA cents. As a republican and a protectionist
he believes in giving proper protection to
binding Irvine, as well as to other manufactured
articles, but if it were true that combination
had been formed to put up the price to Is or 16
cents pound he thought every western Senator
might be compelled to vote to put it on the
free list. He said he had written to some of
the retail dealers in Kansas to inquire what the
price was to be for this season.
Senator CulIom said he had heard nothing of
the matter, but that if it were true that there
was a combination to rob the farmers it might
be good thing to put binding Irvine on the
free list.

The House Committee Commences the TAX.

The census Office investigation was resumed
today.
James A. Collins Of the FARMS loans and
mortgage division Of the census Office said he
had no personal knowledge Of Encouragement
or waste, but had his own opinion
as to how the division could have been con-
Quoted to better advantage. The whole fault,
in his opinion, lay in the system:
The trouble lay with members of
a number Of persons who came in from the
field and were familiar with local conditions
who were discharged to make room for new
people, largely women, who could not be as well
qualified for the work. Witness did not know
the politics OF persons appointed, nor that after
the election of 1900 the superintendent dis
charged republicans and put in democrats.
Witness said he had spoken to Representative
Sayers of tho appropriations committee about
inequalities in the Office, and said men at $500

MR.. THoMPsoN's TESTIMONY.
Mr.. Collins examination was suspended to
permit Mr.. David Thompson, the census agent in
charge Of manufactures at Philadelphia to testify.
The witness testified to trouble he had had with
the census Office over the employment Of his
men and to delay in sending their commissions.
The trouble, Mr.. Thompson asserted, was
that Mr.. Williams and Mr.. Boudinot we're very
much interested in having the 1890 census con-
firm the 1880 census taken under their direc-
ton.
Continuing, Mr.. Thompson said that in viola
ton of the census law there were agents OF the
census Office working in his district surrepti-
tiously.
He then narrated the trouble between himself
and Mr.. Williams, Mr.. Williams charging that
the census had been swelled by counting estab-
lishments twice. Witness affirmed the correct
ness of his work. and said that after a stormy
interview Superintendent Porter revoked the
order of Mr.. Williams suspending witness, and
promised him that the secret work should stop
and that Mr.. Williams should act in co-opera-
ton with him in examining returns. This was
not done. however.
The witness then detailed the circumstances
attending his removal for refusal to deliver up
certain papers and the appointment in his stead
of his chief clerk.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Taylor. the wit
ness said that he had made complaint to the
census Office before his dismissal occurred. He
had been continually compelled to complain to
the department.
Mr.. Taylor put in evidence an Off
cial report Of Francis A. Walker, the
superintendent Of the 1880 census, defending
that census from the charges made against it
in behalf Of the city Of Philadelphia and ridi-
culing the manner in which the census Of 1882
had been taken by Mr. Hodgett for the city

PHILADELPHIA, May 14.-The coroner's jury
in the Central Theater fire rendered their YER
dict this morning. They find that the origin Of
the fire was due to the ignition of border by q

composed the board of fire escapes, who in
spected and reported ON the buildings in the
district where this thester was located, were
negligenc and derelict in not discovering and
reporting to the proper authorities that red

capes.
The jury recommend that the stage and

separated by brick fire wall extending from
foundation to roof of stage, which ehoula be at
least fifteen feet above the roof of the audi
torium. A curtain of woven wire covered with
asbestos or some other non-combustible should
