Kansas denied the women the right
of suffrage at the recent election. They
allied their cause with that of the pop

beaten. Woman or man who bitches

be given a voice in the government Of

ARcHITEcrURE.-Practically, the en-
tire space of this weeks issue of the american
trchitcct and Building Nc~s is given up TO an
elaborate article by Mr. Glenn Brown of WASH
ington His subject is the contrast between
what he terms government buildings and pri-
vate buildings. or the structures which origi
nate in the office of the supervising architect
and those which are designed by, and are in
charge of architects in private practice. An
array of facts is presented leading up to the
conclusion reached by Mr. Brown. that not
only are the buildings erected by the govern
meut inferior III design to those put up by
private enterprise, but they involve greater
outlay of money, and more tine is consumed
in their erection

NNNIV ERsARY.-N esterday was the
lud birthday of the District of Column
ba. On the 18th of April, 1871, this
tenmile square was set anart and dedi-
Gated to lis present use. The boundary
)inr starts from the cornerstone, laid
in f7gI on Jones's Point and now en-
h.!Acd in the sen wall of the light
house by the steps leading from the
h.ach UP to the front door. The dis
,rict line runs diagonally across the
river from Jones's Point and strikes the
MARYLAND shore about three yards from
the old ferry house opposite this city.
When the corner stone was laid on
.Iones's Point it was DR.. Dicks toast
which called out the most applause.
Every one drank to that sentiment
May jealousy, that green eyed mon
-ier. lie buried deep under the work
which we have this day completed,
never to rise again within the Federal
District" This was an ailusion to
some past rivalries about the new city,
and the generous wish Of Alexandria
thatno petty wrangles should mar the
outset of the new enterprise was re-
eeyed with hearty cheers. But that
petty iealousics were not buried under
the stone is apparent over a century
later when the people of the District
are throwing all sorts of impediments
in the way of the projectors of an cleo
tric railway from this city to Washing
Ton which prove as much convenience
20 one city as TO the other and adds ad-
jitional prosperity to both.
