The Printed Report Is Received From
Washington.
Mr.. John l.. Lee, counsel for Major
Peter j. OteY, received from Washing
ton yesterday the printed record in the
contested election case of Hoge Va. Otey
II is compiled in pamphlet form and is
not very voluminous.
The first article in the pamphlet is
the notice OF contest served on Mnior
Otey by Colonel Hoge. 1t Is a lengthy
notice and covers the district pretty
thoroughly. In fact, it Ia about the
only thorough thing Hoge has done in
connection with the contest. 1t alleges
frauds of every description, and claims
for Mr.. Hoge a majority, which he never
would have gotten under the circum-
stances.
The printed report having been fur
nished to both contestant and contested
thirty days is given Hoge in which to
file his brief or argument. After the
lapse Of the thirty days similar length
OF time will be given Major Osey in
which TO reply The only thing then
remaining is to bring the matter up be-
fore the Congressional committee and
there the con sest finds it's end.-Lynch

DISASTROUS NEGRO COLONIAL
TTON

The reportthat the last negro colonization
expedition to Liberia was 4 direful failure
should put an end To that method Of ship
ping the coIored people out OF this country.
The party, consisting of TWO hundred and
eleven persons, sailed from Savannah,
Georgia, March l1th of the present year.
Two OF them Secured work at Monrovia,
half the number are dead from fever ag-
srayated by priyation, and the remainder,
some Of whom are i'll and suffering, are
trying TO work their way back To this
country.
IL is cruel to send people without means
10 a country where all conditions are un-
favorable to their chances for success.
The negroes of America are nn more fit
from a physical standpoint to undergo the
climatic change TO Liberia than are the
white people OF this country. And for
number OF reasons they cannot 60 into a
new country without resources and eX
pect TO earn a living.
by virtue OF their birthright, because OF
their dependent condition and forthe reason
that slavery is responsible for our coloreG
people they are entitled to remain here
as citizens and enjoy all the opportunities
their own efforts and our liberal form OF
government shall afford them. Their prog
rcss since the war is the marvel of the age,
and as the country is large enough and rich
enough in natural Resources TO give all
people, white and black, a chance toprcsper,
We should not be so ohearuess as to encourage
negro colonization in Liberia.
Interruptions schenlcrs in the coIoTcd race
are mainly responsible FOR this disastrous
exodus, and it should be the duty OF cogored
men of influence TO at once adopt measures
TO stop this method OF making money at the
expense OF life.

THE PRESIDENTS BODY GUARD.

THE PRESIDENTS BODY GUARD.
1t has been suggested that Congress
be asked 10 make an appropriation for'she
the detailing OF that force from the city
department. Such d demand would be
looked upon as another Washington ex-
trayag gance, and bes ides, som OF our
Confressmen from the prairie dog districts
would oppose it on the ground that the
"peepul' were already paying a Presi-
Dental salary 10 a resident Of the District.
If arrangements could be made 10 amend
bills in the interests of our District cor
pOrations by attaching riders TO them
appropriating needed money for our schools,
increased water facilities, and other actual
necessities, there would be little trouble
In getting them through Congress- But
that body is generally too busy listening
TO the appeals OF the corporation lawyers
to pay much attention to the real needs
Of the District. Therefore, the public
must suffer accordingly.
The next Congress will have no peace
until it passes trolley bill. The trust
is already laying plans TO capture the new
members, and but little really important
District legislation will be had until an
agreement is reached by the District Com
mittees on the trolley question. Meantime
Washington Will continue to furnish body
guard for the President, and allow thousands
Of children to run at large for want of
sufficient school accommodations. Besides
suffering from other deprivations, because
of Congressional injustice.

TEAR, on SELFISH INTERESTS?

Until Tie advent Of The Times the
washington press las been Of little sery-
zoe in rldGIug the city Of public abuses
Whether this apparent neglect was the
result OF fear or selfish interest makes no
special difference, but one thing is certain:
These newspapers could not plead igno-
rance, FOR thcae municipal wrongs openly
Haunted th,ms elves and brought ruin and
distress to many people il spite OF the pro-
test OF public opinion.
In the center Of the business section Of our
city and situated on some Gifts most valuable
real estate are eighty-one unnamable
places Of sin. Contrary 10 law they have
been fosteTed and guarded by the aut aOrities
and, although they are resorts for illegal
liquor selling, robbery and other species
Of crime, our police are instructed 10 give
them even more careful protection than is
accorded respectable portions Of the city.
No decent person dare be seen on the streets
of this haunt of hades. and Notwithstanding
vile and Notwithstanding reputation,
no other newspaper than The Times has
demanded SIS Immediate extinction.
Across the river are other dens of lnfamy
where unsuspecting people are plundered,
and where the name OF sport Is cunjured
into license To reyel in every kind uf
lawlessness. Gangs ofsteerers entice Wash
ington people To races which lack the merit
OF fairness. Gambling, prize-fighting, con-
fidence games, and even The less genteel
methods of highway robbery furnish scores
or victims 10 the thieves and thugs who
make Jackson City and Alexander Island a
headquarters.
The Times has opposed these and other
abuses for The good OF the public. 1t viii
continue 10 combat every evil, political
or social, that afflicts the people 1t
holds that the chief duty Of q newspaper
IS 30 protect its patrons from the yuitures
OF society, and that In So doing it merits
their good opinion and support.

post and chain gang are still maintained.
But they are rapidly giving way to the
demands OF public sentiment and will soon
disappear altogether. Strange as il may
seem to us in the National Capital, Alex
andria is one of those places, and there is
no way to account for it except by the
reasoning that the same spirit that sane
ions so much lawlessness in the county
also approves the chain gang.
When the better element once again
assumes control of Alexandria county and
by strict enforcement of the law drives
out or subdues the lawless gang there
will be no chain gang, no more gambling
dens, no more outlaw racing, no more
prize fights and no more haTboring of
thieves and thugs in the county OF the
Father OF his Country. That time may not
come during Gov. O'Ferralls administra-
ton, but it is as certain as the sunshine of
heaven. 1T is a long road that has no
turning and the dark day of Alex
andria county can not continue always.

DISTRICT BOYS on TOP.

The marksmen OF the District National
Guard have covered themselves all over
with glory at Sea Girt. Not only has the
Ueaul work secured the Hilton trophy, bIt a
number or individual prizes have been
taken by them. OntAe last day ol the meet
ing, Saturday, they won three, and three
OF their comrades stood next highest on
the list.
10 wonder that General Ordway and
every body else are pleased. The results
OF this years work have been by iung odds
the most important in the history of the
District militia. Not only have all its pre-
vious records been surpassed, but it has
also broken some famous International rec
ords. From this it may be argued that in
any future contest in which our marksmen

LIGHTING THE STREETS

IN his annual report, OF which notice has
already been aiken by The Times, Capt Burr,
OF the District Engineer Department,
calls attention To the inferior lighting
OF the streets. The superintendent of
lamps, in a recent report, recommends
that the moon be 10 longer depended
upon as al illuminant, but that provision
be made for lighting the city with gas, OF
electricity as the case may be, all the year
round
Neither OF these officials, of course,
argues the case or attempts 10 show why
our streets are so poorly lighted, except to
say that larger appropriations are needed.
But the real reasoni is The extortionate price
charged 10y the Washington Gaslight Com
pany for its product and the fact that Con-
gnessional legislation, or, perhaps, the
absence OF ii, leaves it in the power OF
this monopoly TO hcld-up the people OF the

Our Germnn-American Citizen.

Editor Times: While perusing yesterday
mornings Times, l was considerably sur
priSed TO notice an article under the cap
tion Of "Hyphenated Americans" in which
the writer numerically criticises the
German-Americans for using the prefix
German.
The writer insinuates that this signifies
unloyalty to the American government,
presents the case of the delegate to the
school board, and asks numerous questions
which be, no doubt, thinks unanswera BILE.
The writer says or asks If the German
American citizen claims connection both
with this country and Germany.
No, emphatieally 40! but they are proud
that they were once connected with such
great and powerful nation as Germany,
and are anxious to proclaim it to the uni
verse. They think ever OF Steuben, Kalb
and other immortal exponents of the Ameri-
can Revolution freedom. They also re-
member that the Germans were among the
first to emigrate to this great and glorious
nation, and thus helped to make it what
1t is. They know that the Germans form,
in most cases, the ma aJority of a city's popu-
lation. They know all these things, with
many more still nobler achievements, which
they appreciate and wish to proclaim thc.c
glad tidings OF their mother nationality
far and wide. In word, they honor their
former nationality, and are not ashe med
to acknowledge the fact, as is the case with
most OF these so-called Americans.
In the closing paragraph, the writer in
striving TO be humorous suggests that native
born be called United States-Amerjcans.
This is, indeed, a good idea, when one CON
siders that there are three Americas North,
South, and CentraD. The United States
only forms small portion OF one Of these,
therefore it would be correct, both gram
matically and geographically, to be known
as United States-Americans.
In conclusion, l earnestly hope that no
more such unnecessary criticisms will
make their appearance, for as a free country
the nhabitants are entitled TO all the
privileges thereof. You may, therefore.
rest assured that the German citizens shall
and VIII always be known and recognized
as German-AmericaDs.

Even Horse Cars Preferable

Editor Times: This mornings edition
OF The Times referring To the lexington
trolley says that it would only be- necessary
to put in frogs at the intersection OF Fifth
street and New York avenue to enable
this line to continue the horse car service
already ia use on Fifth street our New York
avenue 10 First street northeast.
Frogs at the intersection named and the
necessary switches al the head of New York
avenue 10 enable the shifting OF the cars are
already laid and have been since the original
building of This line, and the present Fifth
street horse car service can be extended to
First street northeast without delay or cost
to the company beyond two or three ad-
ditional cars, with the necessary con
ductOrS drivers, and horses. Washington
is far behind any city OF half its size in
the country in It's street ear facilities, but
antiquated as horse cars are continuous
