DISTRICT GOVERNMENT,
THE CHANGE OF MOTIVE POWER.

In letter to the Senate committee on the
District of Columbia today the Commissioners
recommend that before favorable action is taken
upon House resolution 108. extending the time
in whichcertain street railroads compelled by act
Of Congress to change their motive power from
horse power to mechanical power a proviso shall
be addedasfOllows: Provided. that this xtension
shall not apply.tO any railroad company which
shall not have paid the amount of Judgment.
with interest and costs rendered against it by
the Supreme Court Of the District of Columbia.
as required by the deficiency appropriation act
of March 3, 1891"
This is said to be aimed at the Metro
politan railroad, which has not vet
paid the judgment rendered against it
by the Supreme Court Of the District.
which Judgment was reversed BY the United
States supreme Court, but which was ordered
paid by Congress. The Washington and George
town Railroad Company were also indebted to
the District, but paid up IN debts some months
ago.
NO GENERAL CLOSING.
In reply to the petition from the Baptist
ministers that the colored schools be closed on
the 3lst to give the pupils chance to partici-
plte in the appeal to Heaven for Divine inter
cesion in the horrible out, ages in the south the
Commissioners say, in tho absence Of positive
and permissive law upon the occasion, they feel
that to close all the schools might be considered
an assumption by municipal officers of limited
powers. They say, however. that they will adj
wise hesuperintendents to allow any children to
be absent on that day if they bring written
request from their parents.

Your committee suggest that the foregoing

sent to every Representative and Senator In

We ask you to recommend also that the
Commander Chief elect be instructed to ap-
point committee of FIVE (5), whose duty it
shall be to take up this important work, press
tho same before the Congress at its second ses-
sion in December and endeavor to secure its
enactment into law.
We think it important, too, that the atten-

should be specially directed to, and their
efforts enlisted in, this cause.
Fraternity means something" In no bet

when we labor for our comrades and their best

Your committee desire, in closing their re-
port, to thank you for your earnest considera-
tion, as well as advice and assistance rendered
them in many ways since their appointment.
In surrending the charge committed to their
care, their only regret is that full fruition
has not attended them in their labors.

KEoKUK Constitution Democrat: TIN

KEoKUK Constitution Democrat: The
American house of lords, the senate at
Washington, has been growing more ex-
trsvsgsnt and expensive TO the repub-
lie as the years pass by. The people
are Hot thoroughly posted in regard to
this fact AID they are not well informed
as to the luxuries they are paving for
which rightfully should be paid by the
senators themselves. For instance. an
elegant and commodius building is rented
III an enormous price, and is fitted I'D in
gorgeous suites of rooms for the use of
each individual senator with a-secretsry
and other convenienc6s. Former day
senators managed TO give the people bets
Ter services and better legislation than at
present, without the sristocratic and ex.
travagant accomplishments which the
people are compelled to pay for. The
salaries of United States senators are
ample to afford them all the comforts and
luxuries that their positions REQUIRE, and
out OF them these personal expenses
should be paid
