The Progress Of Lawlessness.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
All friends Of civilization (and in spite Of ap-
pearances there must be a few such even among
u.s. must thank you for your recent words in con-
demnation of anarchy. 1t is time for such words
when lawlessness has progressed to the very
gates of the Capitol, and speaks through the
mouths Of officials sworn to support the law
as in the recent case at Rosslyn.
You have spoken of the case OF Isaac Jenkins,
hanged without form Of law for killing horses.
This took place iu Virginia on the 18th OF this
month. And on the same day three other col
ored men were lyuched in different parts of the
south for being suspected Of crime. Four
lynchiugs in one day.
How long is it to be before the decency of our
country, north and south. wakes up and forbids
these things? For it should be realized that the
armed mob but in the fact that, as a country,
we care nothing about it. We stand before the
world race OF people who do not care whether
the laws are upheld or defied-who do not care
whether punishment is melted out to the guilty
or to the iunoceut-and who are neither shocked
nor surprised at the notion Of burning a man
at the stake.
II it were not so these things could not pos
sibly continue. Public opinion is the real court
of final appeal. When this court is corrupt
what hope is there? The south is illustrating
this corruption every day by its deeds, and the
north every day BY its silence, emphasized
occasionally by action. The governor of Illinois
has recently given voice to it.
How long? NJ.

"Cont raction and Initiation"

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In offering objections to u ten million Dis
trict loan did nothing that should involve
me in . controversy on the sherman law or
the philosophical and historical CAUSES of the
existing stringency. That this exists and may
continue is a potent argument against burden
Ing the District with large additional debt. Its
cause has relevancy to the loan. Whether
the contraction OF the currency is. Mr.. Nc
Creery thinks. the result of Onr recent pro-
silver legislation and fears of more of the same
sort. or whether il il. rs others think the re-
suit Of u rise in gold caused by the late ex-
traordinary demand for that metal in Europe
and India my objection to the loan holds good.
The fact of contraction is confirmed by Mr.
McCreevy: he claims a contraction OF eighty
seven and a half millions during the last fiscal
year in the excess of exports of gold over i'm
ports and Of SIX hundred millions more by
withdrawal of capital from business.
Az he agrees with me that the loan should
not be made do not need to convince him on
that point; and as TO what he calls 1.-The IN
wise imitation of the past. il is evident / could
not convince him if | would He does not be-
Love in the established polity" OF the govern
ment ''to maintain the parity of gold and silver
coin" at fixed rate. and do. But the differ
snce between us on that question has nothing
to do with the District loan.

CAPITOL CENTENNIAL.
Ten Thousand Dollars to Be Raised for the
Celebration.

Ten Thousand Dollars to Be Raised for the
Celebration.
1t was decided by the committee on finance
at a meeting held yesterday afternoon that a
sum Of $4,000 should be raised for proper
celebration of the centennial anniversary Of the
laying of the corner stone OF the Capitol.
Chairman John Joy Edison presided, and gave
the committee the benefit Of his experience in
connection with the G. A. r. encampment last
year. 1t was decided to divide the city into
districts and place a member Of the committee
in charge Of each. The matter Of making these
divisions and assigning them to members best
acquainted with the respective sections was
deferred until the next meeting.
At a meeting OF the committee on scope It
was decided to request the Secretary Of the
Navy to order two gunboats here during the
celebration. The committee also decided that
il would be inexpedient to hold reception in
the rotunda. of the Capitol. The committee on
fireworks also met last evening and consulted
with agents representing Baltimore and St
Louis fireworks firms.

BRIGHTwOOD's NEEDS.
Sewers, Gas and Better Police Protection
Asked For.

Asked For.
A called meeting of the Brightwood Avenue
Citizens Association was held last evening in
the hall at Brightwood. In the absence Of the
president and vice president, Mr.. Daniel Ramey
was selected to preside over the meeting, the
following members being present: Keene. Smith,
Gilman. Lay, Thornton, Middleton, Harrison.
Cook, Winslow. Mcmillan. Van Horn and Kraft.
After the minutes of the preceding meeting
had been read and approved, Secretary Keene.
on behalf Of the committee appointed to submit
to the District Commissioners an estimate Of
the improvements needed in the community,
stated that the committee had asked for forty
one gas lamps; for brick footway on the east
side Of Brightwood avenue from Rock Creek
Church road to Mr.. NJ. G.. Emery's property
and from there to Emery Chapel for the con-
structlon OF an intercepting sewer from Bright
wood Park along Piney branch to the ROCK
creek sewer; for . subpollce station at Brl8ht-
wood, and for grading and regulating Illinois
avenue from Soldiers Home to Brlghtwood
avenue.
Secretary Keene also stated that the Commits
sioners had directed water mains to be laid on
18th street from Grant street to Whitney avenue,
and in the estimates for next year had put in
sewers for Petworth and Brightwood Park. He
also explained that he had called upon Major
uOOTe, culeI VI III NclctCuCo " VIC buD-
police station at Brightwood, and while the
major at first was not disposed to recommend
such a step, he hadfinaliy thought better Of the
matter.
An informal discussion Of the water supply
question then followed. and the great and i'm
perative necessity for some adequate supply
was pointed out and the opinion expressed
that while the District authorities seemed anx-
ious and willing to do all they possibly could in
the matter 1t would never do to cease for .
moment the efforts Of the association to secure
the accomplishment Of the project. An ap-
probation Of what the Commissioners had
already done for the association was expressed
and the secretary was directed to thank the
Commissioners for past favors and intimate
that continuance Of the same would be most
satisfactory.
The need Of better police protection was dis
cussed next, and as a step in that direction it
was resolved to communicate with the Bright
wood Electric Railroad Company and suggest
that their conductors at least be granted
police powers by the District authorities. The
meeting thereupon adjourned subject to the
call Of the president.

WHAT BROOKLAND WANTS.
Sewerage and a Water supply Imperatively
Demanded to Avert Disease.

Sewerage and a Water supply Imperatively
Demanded to Avert Disease.
There was a large gathering Of citizens Of
Brookland and the adjoining subdivisions in
the new town hall at that place last night. They
were property owners and householders, and
there were many ladies present also. The meet
ing was called to order by Mr.. c. K. Hetfeld
and Dir. B. F. Weeks was CHOSEN secretary.
The object Of the meeting was explained by
DR.. Frank T. Howe of University Heights. who
said that it had become evident to every one
living in that section Of the District that the
community was growing too large to longer
depend upon surface drainage. A system OF
sewerage was imperatively needed to insure the
health of the people. and the extension OF the
city water supply would naturally follow. To
secure these concert of action was necessary.
He referred 10 the fact that an estimate for I'M
proving Brooklahd had been submitted
by the Commissioners two years ago, but
that it had been cut out by Congress. Some
board sidewalks and q few oil lamps
were all that the citizens OF that section had
ever received from the authorities. although
they paid their taxes with more promptness
than the people Of more favored sections. In
his opinion if anything was to be gained in the
way Of improvements it must be by the energy
and influence brought to bear on the Commits
sioners before the estimates which are to be
presented to Congress are made out by them
The latter should be told in no uncertain way
what Brookland wanted Promises had been
made. The citizens should see that those
promises were fulfilled
DIR. j. Ii. Brooks Endorsed the remarks of
DIR. Howe as to the urgent need Of sewer and
water facilities and told what had been &C
complished by the old Citizens Association in
the way OF improvements. He was in favor
OF infusing new life into that organization and
having all the citizens work harmonously.

The Vacant Judgeship.

Tho New York World today says: The
World is in position to state that President
Cleveland will not appoints successor to the
late Justice Blatchford until Congress meets.
The various rumors circulated that the Justice
ship will be offered to Secretary Gresham. or to
Secretary Carlisle, or to Attorney General
Olney, have no foundation in fact. Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet will remain Just as
it is. The position will not be offered Mr.. Don
NJ. Dickinson.
1t is almost certain that, az Justice Batch
ford was New Yorker and the empire state is
now without a representative in the highest
tribunal Of the republic. q new York lawyer
will be appointed. Under no circumstances
will 1t be given a westerner.

Agnes Bailey Ormsbee in Harpers Bazaar.
In spite Of the expense and bother Of doing
business on the credit system, there are few
tradesmen but welcome a customer who allows
his bills to run. well knowing that the patron
age will be larger in that way than on a cash ba-
sis. Most people order many things that they
do not need when they have credit There is
curious attractiveness in not paying today what
may be paid tomorrow. There Ia airy. allur
ing unreality about the cost Of things bought on
credit, and an Elusive quality about money
That Is to be ours tomorrow, or next week. or
next month. One hundred dollars to come is
apt to have an apparent power ~ per cent
greater than 800 already possessed: but alas!
has but its face value. There is no better cure
for the impulsive habit Of jumping at bargains

Oh guard or yielding to q taste that is more
capricious than the purse is deep-than the
practice Of paying leash down."
In no set Of domestic bills is this slipping
into buying more and more, little by little. here
= quarter and there dime and there q dollar,
so general as in bills for clothing and FOR food.
OF the two bills, the grocer's is the worst.
When money Is not paid down for table sup
plies it almost inevitably follows that while
adopting the credit system you at the same time
grow into the custom Of buying by order, and
the purse suffers q double leak. Grocers are
but human, and, hard pressed by competition,
they cannot be expected to select supplies with
the single eye and prudent care for the total Of
the bill and the quality Of the articles which the
buyer will exercise.
While q housekeeper from lack Of time or
strength, may keep a book at the grocer's and
butchers, she should never let them run longer
than week, for the sake Of both her temper
and her money. 1t Is the easiest thing in the
