She arraigned the old parties for Offering no

To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE.
The campaign has commenced favor
ably in this section Of county for the
Peoples party. The opposition Is dis
iolnted and demoralizsd, deficient in
courage to take a stand on the great
issues in which the people are interested,
trying to defend false and fatal positions,
and ostentatlously referring to the
achievements of some one else as q
reason why the present Objectionable po-
litical conditions should be discontinued.
We are hopeful Of success notwith-
standing the great interests that are COM
blned in hostility against us, and the
schemes and arts known to political
tricksters that will be used to defeat US.

LUDLOW PREVIOUSLY RErarxAxpxp.

On numerous occasions prior to and aside
from those already referred to be violated or
ignored the laws and regulations and was sew
eral times reprimanded by the board for so
doing.
He assumed to do what only the honorable
Secretary Of the Treasury is authorized to do in
suspending light house keeper early in 1890.
On these occasions he assumed authority
which belongs only to the inspector and inter
fered with the operation Of stations, including
the expenditure Of funds, all without author
ity from the board and, indeed, without the
boards knowledge.
For thus exceeding his authority the board
has more than once reprimanded him. He ap-
pears to have particular fondness for doing
what he has no authority to do. without in
forming or consulting those who should be con-
suited. and then trying to get authority and
support latter the act' On several occasions
he has in this way placed the board in q very
embarrassing position.
Without intimating his intention to the board,
be began . correspondence with the Canadian
light house authorities writing an official letter
to them on the subject Of lighting the st. Mary's
river. The first knowledge the board had Of
this correspondence was from the Department
OF State, to which q communication concerning
1t had been addressed to the British minister
Col. Ludlow certainly knew that it was the
business Of the board, through the proper
channels. to conduct correspondence Of this
kind. and he could hardly have been surprised
at the reprimand which the board felt Obliged
to administer.

Assistant District Attorney Thomas Explains
the Railroad Permit Opinion.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Referring to the editorial comment in last
Fridays issue Of your paper upon some advice
gave the Commissioners upon an application
by the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Com
pany, to double-track its road on Maryland
avenue from 1917 street 10 Long
bridge, 1 think you misapprehended
me. II was not necessary upon the question
before me to hold. and I did not hold tina {
under it's Maryland charter this company
has the right TO occupy Maryland avenue or
gress permits IL to come TO the width of sixty
six feet. said the charter provided that tho
road shall not be more than siXty-siN feet wide.
But sixty-six feet being the average width of
railroad rights Of way in the country, Obviously
given in order TO build single or double
track, after allowing for slopes and fills, mani
testify would not apply in city where
the tracks come in on grade. The ONLY question
before me, and the only one intended TO decide,
was whether under existing legislation by Con-
gress the Baltimore and Potomac company had
the rights TO lay an additional track on Mary
land avenue from 1872 street to Long bridge so
as to give them two main tracks instead Of one
and this think they had a right TO do under the
act Of Congress of 1870 permitting the COM
pany to extend its tracks on Maryland avenue
to Long bridge.
The case Of the District against the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Company Ola L. =.
453) to which you refer was before me when
wrote the opinion on the question, was also
the opinion OF the General Term in Neitzey
against Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Com
pany g Mackey, 34). What was said in my
opinion as to the right of this company to lay as
many tracks at or near its stations as its presi-
dent and directors might De tit was not my
language, but was quotation from the COM
pany's charter. So far then from my views
being in conflict with the decision of the SUI
preme Court. as expressed by Mr.. Justice Mil
Ter, / submit they are in line with it. The
Supreme Court held that the Maryland charter
OF this company gave il no power to use the
streets of this city incident TO its right to
construct its road to it, and that the
several acts of Congress relating TO the
Baltimore and Potomac Company gave it no
right to leave Maryland avenue on its way from
9Th street TO Long bridge. / concede that no
railroad company in this District has the right
to lay foot Of railway track unless an act of
Congress authorizes it and the Commissioners
approve it, and do not wish TO be quoted as
holding that the Baltimore and Potomac COM
panv can under its MARYLAND charter occupy
sixty feet of Maryland avenue or any other
street in this city and lay as many TRACKS on il
as its president and directors may deem neces.
sary. Very respectfully,
S. 7. THOMAS.

OF these AGO were houses erected In alleys hav-
ing plumbing fixtures IN the wards only. The
inspections of old houses amounted 20 80.
The latter. he says, represent much time and
ANXIETY on the part OF the inspectors. During
the year he made a report on the sanitary con-

pretty safe TO predict, he continues. that
the air OF the Senate wing will b

extended. The high grade % plumbing fixtures
