DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Planting Trees.

L. Cabell Williamson, president Of the
Youns Mems Christian Association, has
written to the Commissioners protesting
against the planting Of any trees in front
of the association building, 1409 New York
avenue. In his letter today he states that
he was informed that the District Commits
sioners were making arrangements to plant
two rows of trees in the location above re-
ferred to. He says:
We are making an endeavor to build
new building. AS the locality is now
business one, we feel that the value Of the
site for the ass ociation work will be lessen
ed by having trees in front Of the building.
If you will give your prompt attention to
this. and step the proposed change of plan
In reference to the association building, at
least, You will greatly favor the associa-
ton. OF course. the planting of trees in
the immediate neighborhood would like
wise depreciate the value Of the land for
business purposes" The matter has been
referred to the engineer department for in
Vestgation.
Street Areas.
Superintendent Mckenzie Of the alley
cleaning department has requested the
Commissioners to furnish his department
with the area Of the following streets late
ly paved: Canal street from LIST street
west to Sd street west southwest, LIST street
from 1 to K streets north northwest, the
street on north side of Lincoln Park from
18th street east to 18th street east north
east.
Widening n Street.
Luther r. Smith, attorney-at-law, has
invited the attention Of the Commissioners
to the manner Of assessment upon the lot
owners for the widening of 18th street,
Washington Heights. He asks that the as
sessment against lot &C. block Z, fronting
on 18th street, may not exceed one-half
the cost of widening the street opposite
his lot, and that he shall not be charged
with any portion of the expense of WIDEN
ing the street opposite lots of other parties.
Reform school Needs.
President A. j. Falls Of the boys reform
school has called the attention of the Com
mission ers to the Importance Of having an
appropriation made early during the COM
ing session of Congress for compensation
Of officers for the new family building,
which was completed some time ago. but
remaining unoccupieJ owing to the fact
that Congress made no appropriation for
its offic ers for the present fiscal year. Only
S25.5OO was appropriated for the support
of inmates, against $4,000 heretofore, and
the Commissioners are urged to ask for
$500 additional.

That Is as much as to say that the
Chicago convention, the highest autho-
rlty In the party, did not represent the
Democratic party In recommending the
repeal OF this 10-per -cent.-tax law, and
that Grover Cleveland was elected on
platform that was not Democratic, after
having denounced and subsequently Ia
yored this same 10-per-cent tax. Now
are the ten Democrats from Virginia,
who voted against repeal, regarded as
sound Democrats?-Yosts Weekly.
The Chicago convention recommended
the repeal OF the 10-per-cent tax Just as
II recommended the completion of the
Nicaragua canal. In regard to these
two questions, then, thai convention
was not authorized 10 go any further
