A brutal assault was committed on Con-
ductor Richard A. Bonner of the Metro
politan railroad Monday night near the or
ner of 18th and streets. Georgetown, by a
colored barber named Alexander b. Rowe,
and the case was tried in Judge Mills court
today. A week or more ago the barber at
tempted to get on the one night but
the car had finished its days work and the
conductor told him that no more passengers
would be taken on. Rowe did lot
like the treatment and two or
three days later he wanted to discuss
the matter with the conductor, who declined
and so the barber waited until Monday
night when he boarded the car at the point
mentioned. He had a heavy stick in his
hand at the time. When he stepped in the
car he asked the conductor: Are you will
ling to let me ride now?"
Certainly" replied the conductor, 'if you
pay your fare"
A blow on part of the colored man fol-
lowed and this morning the conductor OK
hibited badly dscolored eye and a cut
face as evidence in the case.
Rowe claimed that he had been insulted
by the conductor and he went to see him
for an exclamation. The conductor he said,
attempted to push him off the car and he
struck him.
Judge Mills told him that he should have
taken some place other than on the car to
settle the trouble. The public. he said is
interested in what occurs on public vehicles
and imposed fine of SIS or ninety days in
tail

A Good suggestion.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The interest you take in the welfare of
our city and its citizens prompts me
through your valuable paper to make the
following suggestion, viz:
That the Honorable Commissioners OF the
District of Columbia petition Congress in
behalf OF our people to remit the penalty of
two per centum a month for nonpayment of
taxes on real estate for the first half of the
year ending June 80, 1894 which tax Is pay
able November next. This action on the
part OF Congress would relieve our people
and the banks. as a majority of the tax pay
ers would not pay their taxes and the
money would remain in circulation and in
our banks. instead of being placed in the
vaults of the United States Treasury until
after July !. 1894. The money for the eNpcns-
es of the District government for the cur
rent year is already provided for. and il the
amount is not sufficient there will be enough
taxes paid next November by those VINO can
afford IL to make up the deficiency. The
amount to be collected for the first half of
the year ending June 30. 1884, will be about
81. 500. oo0 on real estate.
I might make other suggestions in rela-
ton to relieving our citizens. but the fore
going IS a simple one and will go a long
way In helping us.
Very truly yours.
r. o. HOFFMAN.

DR.. Allen Talk. Finance.

To start a discussion among the people
themselves on what he termed the financial
crisis. and not confine this debate to the
halls OF Congress. was the object OF a
speech which was delivered last night from
the balcony of the National Hotel BY Dr.
Charles Allen Of this city. He spoke for al
most an hour to crowd. which had gath
cred from the passers-by until IL reached in
a solid mass to the car tracks for some dis
lance The speaker reviewed the industrial
and financial situation, and attributed trou-
bles that had been experienced to money
changers and bondholders. rather than to
to the silver purchase act. He made an ar
glment In favor of an initiation of the cur
rency- He advocated reduction OF custom
and internal revenue taxes and making I'D
the deficit by issuing silver and notes un til
the per capita circulation reached $50. He
spoke also In favor of the plan Of issuing a
