THE PEOPLES VOICE.

There is something positively exhilarat4
ing in the undlsguised effort of the twelve
million dollar schemers to saddle this
amount of additional debt upon the tax
payers of the District for no other pur-
pose than TO benefit clique OF county land
jobbers. For that is what 1t amounts to.
The bulk OF paying principal and interest
viii fall upon those who live within the
present city limits. The jobbers will dance
while the taxpayers pay the fiddler.
Perhaps the people of the District have
a notion TO do this; perhaps they have not
The Times proposes to give them au op-
portunity TO express their opinion in the
matter. Though Congress has deprived
the people OF the right of suffrage, it will
hardly ignore their wishes expressed in so
striking a form as viii be done through
The Times voting boxes.
In few days these will be distributed
all over the city aud then we shall see what

UNCLE SAM AS PEACEMAKER.

The Emperor of Japan is about to man.
fest his appreciation of the good offices OF
the United States in the recent war be-
tween Japan and China, in the customary
manner by bcstowing decorations of various
degrees upon the diplomatic, consular and
other officials who took more or less promi-
nent parts in the negotiations There is
little doubt but that the Emperor of China
will do likewise. II is even intimated that
when Ministers Denly and Dun retire to
private life they will be made the recipients
of More substantial recognition of their
services.
II is pleasant to contemplate the fact
that the United States succeeded SO well
in bringing peace 10 the two great east
ern nations, and thus gaining their good
Will. SO far as Japan is concerned, the
good results viii probably manifest them
selves in enlarged commercial intercourse
and in various other ways that may profit
our people. A regards China, the services
rendered that nation by the intermedia-
tion of the United States can hardly be
placed at too high an estimate. Had not
japan beei lnuuteu 10 llsicb 10 hiuuiN
counsel, but had insisted to push TO its
ferthest conclusion the advantage it had
gained, the very existence of the Celestial
Empire might have been imperl!cd.
Thus the United States occupies among
the nations of the world r-c-eminently the
position OF peacemaker, 1t has no desire
to aggraudlze itself at the expense of a
friendly nation; it has no need of territorial
expansion; in any differences that may
arise between it and foreign nation it
is ever ready to submit the dispute to
arbitration, and make sacrifices not in
consistent with the national honor rather
than resort to force. And SO as it grows
in power and influence it viii continue to
rise both in the interest Of peace andharmony
among the nations.

wsYSoTLET THEM ALONE?

There is something very singular about
the insistence of the Commissioners upon
the removal of the truck farmers from
Ninth and streets. As President ordway
says. somebody must have misinformed
them in regard to prevailing conditions.
For more than half hundred years those
farmers have stood there unmoi"sted, and
the only individual or corporation TO have
made complaint might be the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, whose cars have
to slacken their speed when passing along
Ninth street on market days when the
noses of the farmers horses are in close
proximity to the cars as they pass along.

Editor Times: For nearly three years
l had tie honor of being the private sec
retary of Hon. Tom L. johnson, and while
Mr.. Johnson has not authorized me 10
write you concerning the alleged use of his

During the time Mr.. johnson was sending

franking stamps made. Some of these
franks were used in the folding room of
the House OF Representatives by persons
employed by MIR Johnson to stamp the
envelopes before they were sent to his
house on Fifteenth street. l know that
some of these franks were lost-9t least
it was impossible TO collect them all. Under
the circumstances how easy il would be
for anyone employed around the folding
room, or having access to the folding
room. to use this frank in the manner
YOU alleGe it TO have been used. Mr.. john
sons friends know him too well TO believe
for moment that lie would be guilty Of
selling public documents, or knowingly
allow his franks to be used for an unlaw-
full purpose.
