POE PREs1nENr-MIKE D. HARrER.

There are a few great men in the world and
Congressman Mike d. Harter is one Of them.
In a gleeIul mood and inspired with true
patriotic feeling he exults at the recent
Democratic defeat and allows his mighty
bra Il to become radiant when he says: Il do
not think any good citizen or sound Demo-
crat can regret the results AT the polls last
month, for the success OF Hillism and POpu-
lism would have been injurious TO the party
and fatal to the country. ! am weary, Mr..
Harer continues, .'of those pretended Demo-
Gratis who have attempted TO commit US TO
fanaJicism and fraud. and whose leadership
has resulted in a merited defeat. The Demo-
cratic party has been betrayed by lot Of
selfish politicians in New York and set Of
be.uddled crauks in tho West. There is no
speedier way to oblivion for Democracy than
10 follow the dictation OF traitors in one part
ofthe country and the counsel of fools in
another
None but a mighty brain could inspire such
weighty wisdom. and no one but the gifted
Harter could separate the TRAITORS" and
fools from the Democratic party with such
amazing clearness and certainty With
prophetic vision he ioretells what will be-
come OF the Democratic party under It's pres
sent organization, and with perpescuiiy that
belongs only TO great mind Mr. Har,er di-
vides the wolves from the lambs. the 'selish
politicians and beiuddled cranks7 from true
Democrats. and reads the Democrats Of New
York and OF the great West ont OF this party
But 1t is where Mr.. Harter speaks Of the
next Presidential nomination that the milk
exades from the cocoanut He says:
with such a candidate as Stevenson we
would have to defend greenbaekism, fat
money. and all the political tomfoolery that
the brains Of irresponsible theorists can IN
cuoate. Why. If the people licked US so un-
merciTully because they merely suspected US
OF such faIlacies. what in heavens name
would they do if they discovered that their
suspicious were well founded?"
After having defined the Democratic party
and established its territorial limits. who Of
all the great men would be more available
for the Presidential nomination than Mike D.
Harter? He is eligible because he lives in
Philadelphia, and he would have no traitors
nor spoilsmen in the Democratic ranks. On
this subject the great Harter goes on record
in this language: There are too many Popu-
lists. Paternelists, and Nationalists in the
Democratic party. We want TO get rid of them,
and the country wants 10 hush its ears 10 the
praIing of those who look upon the govern
ment as the distributor Of personal blessings
and who regard Uncle Sam as a sort of Santa
Claus.
Instead Of trying 10 weed this element out
OF the party by careful distribution Of pub
lie patronage and through public messages,
as has been done. Mr.. Harter boldly denounces
them in unsparing, vigorous language. He
would have no disrupted, disorganized Demo-
cratic party to go down to defeat. but would
eliminate neresies and reorganize the party in
his own sweet way. According TO the roseate-
Drained Harter the Democratic party would
stand for low tariff taxes, economic govern

PRESIDENT DUNLOP WANTED.
He VIII BE Brought Into Court To-day
UpOu an Attachment

He VIII BE Brought Into Court To-day
Upon an Attachment.
An attachment was issued from the police
court yesterday for George T. Dunlop, acting
president OF the Washington and Georgetown
Railroad Company, and he will be brought
into court this morning.
The charge against him is allowing IT'S cars
of the above company to be operated from
July TO June SO, 1894, without license. and
the case was to have been heard by Judge
Kimbal yesterday, but for some reason. it is
said, Mr.. Dunlop disregarded the summons
to appear in court at the time set for trial,
hence the attachment.
The court officials say Mr.. Dunlop could
have been arrested by the First precinct
policemen Monday evening. but through
courtesy they simply notified him to be pres
ent. The yearly license of each car is Sc, and
as 175 cars are involved in the case, the
amount represented in license fees is $1,O5O.

guilty yesterday afternoon in the case of

card playing for drinks in his saloon, No. 507

Judge Miller said when man is granted a

When the conversation was hastily shifted
to politics the doctor became more tractable.
No, he had no idea at all that the Demo-
cratic party was dead He had seen the party
killed before and had been present at sew

the new tariff law supplies money enough to
meet the running expenses of the govern

much of the shortage of the reserve has been
caused by deficiency of revenue and a
necessity of drawing on the reserve for cur

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS REPORT

UlSIhlCI CUMA1SbIONEho' abfO1SI
The annual report of the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia is plain, business
like statement, explicit yet comprehensive,
setting forth ably and clearly their admins
tra.ion Of the interests conflded to their care
and containing recommendations and sugges-
tions deserving of attention and consideFa-
ton.
One Of the first subjects of great interest
presented by the Commissioners is the con-
tagious hospital site. To this one-tifth Of the
entire report is given up. They recite the
difficulties and objections encountered in
selecting site and how they thought they
had solved the problem when they bought
the Mount Pleasant property Having met
opposition here also they come to the con-
clusion that the people DO not want the hos
pItal anywhere, although everybody re-
cognizes the necessity for it. The Commis-
sioners say that no other suitable site can be
selected, if the consent Of owners of abutting
property is a prerequisite. and the idea of
having such a hospital, therefore, must be
abandoned.
The great need for new municipal build
ing is again urgently presented, as also the
desirabihty Of a free library, and the neces-
sity for the adoption ofan adequate system for
the removal of ashes. Much stress IS laid
upon the inadequacy OF present arrangement
for the removal and disposal of garbage, and
Congress is asked TO authorize the Comms-
sioners to enter into a contract for a sufIi-
cient length of time to enable the contractor
TO establish an incineratinS plant.
Increase OF the police force is recon-
mended. and while it is admitted that some
bad men have been discovered, it is stated
that the force as a whole compares favor
ably in faithfulness and efficiency with that
Of any city in the country. An increase in
the force OF the fire department and in the
pay Of the men is also urged.
Many other subjects OF interest and impor-
ers, such as the water supply. street and side
walk pavements, county roads. extension of
highways, cOnduits, and overhead wires and
grade crossings. Altogether the report is
document tnat ought TO be carefully read
from beginning to end by every one inter-
ested in the administration of the District
government.
