Many good men now in Congress are So
riously threatened by the third party move
ment in the west, which. contrary to gen.
eral expectation, does not promise to expire
for some little time to come. One of the
best Of these men, viewed from both a local
and national standpoint, is Senator Mander-
son Of Nebraska, whose record In the upper
house has been consistent clean and cred
liable. Advices from the west indicate
that Gen. MaEderson will have a pretty
tight squeeze for his seat but that, unde-
TERED by the prospects, he has gone into
the campaign with his sleeves rolled up. so
TO speak, and Is making good Roadway
against the populistic wave Although not
a member Of the District committee the
local interests have no better friend in
Congress than Gen. Henderson. who Is al
ways ready to defend the citizens of Wash
ington and to urge that they get their just
deserts. Ii is quite doubtful IL there would
have been much done as was done by
this Congress in the matter of the govern
ment paying damages resulting from the
Ford Theater disaster had 1t not been for
Gen. Manderson's earnest and untiring ef-
forts. He is also conspicuous nationally,
and fights for his own state with zeal and
ardor at all times. He has been honored
by election to the high post of president
pro tempore of the Senate and has always
occupied prominent positions among the
committees of that body. A bright legis-
lative light will indeed have been Quenched

statesman shall be politically extinguished

THE Ex-K1Ko OF THE AVENUE.

President George I. Dunlop, of the Wash
ington and Georgetown Street Railway Com
pany, is undoubtedly very much put out that
Judge Kimball should have fined him for run
ming cars in defiance OF the orders OF the
Commissioners. He considers that his Labor
Day Job was finely conceived and beautifully
executed. but his zeal in mis- work leads him
90 overlook the fact that other people have an
equal zeal in endesvoring TO preserve their
lives.
President Dunlop believes that he has sceu-
mulated Pennsylvania avenue in his own
right. 1t is not enough for George to knew
that lis company has a charter which gives
It a practical monopoly Of the Avenue for pas
senger transit purposes No indeed. Such
trihing thing as Labor Day parade inter
iersd with the running Of Georgie's cars.
"You have been guilty Of gross usurpation," ="
writes George 10 Capt. Powell, ''and now
notify you thar propose TO hold you and the
District of Columbia liable for your unlawful
act" We are advised that Capt. PowelIs
face blanched a chalk-hued blaDch when he
read that letter.
And no wonder. Think Of the enormity OF
Capt POTslIs ofense. He ordered that the
Avenue cars be stopped from 10 a. N. to II
N. on Labor Day, and in this action be was
backed by letter of notification sent by the
Commissioners TO the railway officials under
date Of September l. This letter was unno-
tioed, and the cars attempted TO run as usual
when the Avenue was crowded with the pa
rade and onlookers. Lieut.. Kelley stopped 8
car from crashing through a crowd on mis-
sion Of making cripples and corpses-
This, says George, IS usurpation. There
were passengers on those cars and they each
ewed George cents or 4 l-6 cents, accord
ing to the cash or ticket system which they
individually employed.
But worse than this-Georgie considered
himssf the king Of Pennsylvania avenue,
and these lsbo ring men had no right on his
property. 1t was only by sufferance that
George allowed the illuminated business
mems parade on Wednesday night, although
he did show his proper displeasure by crash
ing right through congestion of crowds
and carriages
What's this the Federation of Labor TO
sue George for running his cars through the
Labor Day parade? Nonsense. The labor
ing men OF the District ought to be glad that
the ex-kiDg Of the Avenue allowed them to
walk or ride on Pennsylvania avenue, 10 say
nothing about parsding.
Seriously. President George 7. Dunlop has
made a mistake by insulting organized labor
and assuming that corporate privileges have
the right Of way before public safety. His
road is good one and its service is excellent,
but il inhHbits the Avenue by sufferance Of
the people, and the tenant who slaps the land
lords face must suffer the consequences.

Tor and bedroom furniture, far prettier, 1
think, than any that have been seen In this

few, if any, changes in carpets, though the
excellent quality Of the better grades will be
steadily maintained.''

TWO BITTER PILLS.

The present President Of the United States
Of America has had two terrible experiences
in having things turn out the other way both
OF these experiences occurring within the past
month. Mr. Cleveland is now nothing short
Of an adept In the art Of gracefully swallow
ing bitter pills.
The preferences OF the administration
leaned towards Lilioukalani and Wilson, but
Dole and German were successful
German led the cause Of the trusts; Dole
led the cause Of the people. German was a
traitor to his party; Dole was the champion
Of the civilized against the barbaric. German
fought for the establishment of monarchy
OF money; Dole fought against the re-estab-
lshment OF a monarchy of superstition and
sAvEgery. Mr.. Cleveland opposed them both,
enc wrongfully and the other rightfully.
They both triumphed.
