ing. which were approved as read,
DR.. Walker, chairman Of the railroad
committee, reported that he had written
tc the superintendent of the Baltimore and
Ohio road about putting up another pair
Of steps at Stotts Station, but as yet had
received no reply.
Mr.. Chas. A. Langley of the post office

Cffice officials, and the outlook was favor
able for the establishment of a post office
at Woooburn, regardless of the fact that it
is so close to the Terra Gotta Office
Mr.. John Kelly of the committee on roads
said he had assurances that the nuisance
caused by hedge fences growing in the

scribed the visit made by Mr. Claude F.

himself to the District building in reference

BENNING CITIZENS
Meet to Discuss Their Needs and to
Hear Addresses.

Hear Addresses.
The Benning Citizens Association was
| called to order last evening by Vice Pfesi-
dent Mewshaw, after which minutes of
last meeting were read and approved. The
chairman Of the Benning road committee
reported that he understood the Engineer
Commissioner had furnished the Columbia
Railway Company the grade of Florida
avenue from 18th to 10th streets, and that
the work of resurfacing would begin at
cnce.
When the report Of the railroad commit
tee was called for Mr.. Mewshaw said GER
tain irregularities had been practiced, but
that no particular blame could be attached
to anybody.
F. Meaney thought the engine house and
water committee should communicate with
the union stock yards folks about putting
In a dam near the bridge over the branch,
stating that the stock yards people had
recently changed all fire plugs to conform
with the city plugs and that if an effort
was made he believed the stock yards and
abattoir people would favor building q
dam fer protection in case Of fire. MIR. T.
r. Clark opposed the proposition, and
favored the digging Of a cistern or reser-
voir for use In case of emergency.
A motion to discharge the committee on
engine house and water was lost, after
which the president appointed Mr.. S. r.
Hirsley as a member of said committee
and instructed them to see the Commits
sioners about putting in a dam in the stock
yards run, and, if unsuccessful, to see the
stock yards people and then go to the Com
missioners.
The secretary then read a communication
from the treasurer. rendering his resigna-
ton on account of contemplated absence
from Benning, and, on motion, it was ac-
cepted.
Under the head Of good of the associa-
ton. the monthly topic of discussion, The
Enforcement of Law" was taken up, and
Vice President Mewshaw spoke at length
saying that law was something prescribed
by the superior, and which the inferior was
bound to obey. He said all laws were not
equitable, not fair, not just and that legis-
lators were subject to bias. He laid great
stress on the evils arising from the bar
rocm. the brothel and the gambling table
stating that those are the things around
which center most of the crimes of the
day. His idea was that life is a struggle,
and that, owing to the fact that men are
working for less wages than they should
receive, the saloon is demanded as a
necessity, where men can meet on common
ground and discuss their condition among
friends.
His speech was we'll rendered and we'll
received, after which the resignation of
Mr.. r. F. Bradbury Of Twining City was
rendered. but, on motion, not accepted
Owing to lateness Of the hour the meeting
then adjourned

joint meeting last evening at the Cosmos
Club. with a large audience present. Miss
Alice Fletcher, president of the Woman s
Anthropological Society. presided. An in
teresting paper on plant Lore" was read
by Mrs. Mariana P. Searsan Of the wo-
mans society. The paper described the
superstitions connected with flowers and
plants handed down by history and tradi-
ton from the earlier ages. Every tree and
flower was believed by the ancients to be
symbolic of some distinct characteristic
Of human life, and they also believed trey
possessed a spiritual life and were the
abode Of spirits. Many examples were
given of the belief of the ancients in the
supernatural power and efficacy of trees.

Of human beings.

A HERO's BIRTHDAY.
Gen. Grants Natal Day Celebrated
Last Night.

To very few men have such honors come
as those which have made the name of
Grant fllustrious, yet up to last evening
his ratal day has never been observed in
any way In this city, where most of his
fame came to him. Gen. Grant was born
In April, 1922. and last night U. s. Grant
Post. G. A. R., commemorated the occa-
sion by giving a reception to their friends,
who seemed to be legion. Flags were
draped about the hall. and a handsome post
flag hung from its staff in front of the COM
mander's chair. A fine literary and musi-
cal program was presented, Commander
w. H. Decker presiding. Comrade Fer
nald rendered Grants March" on the vio-
lin in spirited style, accompanied by Mrs
Fordham Of Lafayette Corps, and the @.
A. r. Choral Union, composed of old fellows
who used to sing to keep their courage up as
they marched with Grant, sang several
stirring songs, the opening one, "Ameri-
ca" by Prof. H. H. Howard, being particu-
larly fine. Corporal Tanner, a member
of U. S. Grant Post of Brooklyn, which
had the honor Of standing guard over the
lifeless clay Of the great general from the
hour he went to Join the silent majority,
till at last the tomb closed over all that
was mortal delivered an address, full OF
power and pathos, and of anecdote and in
cidents of a long and close acquaintance
with the dead chieftain. Comrade Calvert
read an original poem, Grant" a tender
tribute to the memory of the illustrious
dead, and the department president of the
w. r. c.. who was present with her staff,
made touching appeal for the teaching
of patriotism in the public schools.
A pleasing diversion was created when
the ladies of the G. A. r., headed by their
president, Mrs. Nettie Royce, entered the
room, some twenty strong. During the
evening the ladies gave an exemplification
of their pretty flag salute. Comrade Fer
nald read an interesting paper on the per-
sonal characteristics Of General Grant, and
nfc nf ika int
made. The refreshments were served by
Lafayette and Potomac corps, by request
of Grant Post, as 1t has no corps connected
with 1t at present, but has one In pros
pect The large audience overflowed the
hall and was interested to the end in the
fine prOgram.

One of the fiourshing societies connected
with the Gurley Memorial Presbyterian
Church is its Mems Club, Of which w. T.
S. Curtis is president. Since Its organiza-
ton last December it has provided for its
members and friends very valuable and
interesting coulse Of lectures and enter
tairments. The speaker of last evening
was Major Leander P. Williams, formerly
CT the seventy-third Indiana, who in a yery
forcible and interesting manner, gave a de-
tailed account Of eight months spent as a
prisoner of war in Libby prison. Major
Williams was one of the 100 officers who
m ade their escape from the prison by a
tunnel in February, 1864, of whom fifty
five. including himself, reached the federal
lines.

SUGAR AND THE REVENUES.

A change of the ad valorem duty Of
40 per cent on raw sugar to a specific
duty Of one cent a pound will be about
an Congress win need to do if our Re
publican friends are sincere in their
desire to Increase the public revenues.
and if they love the Sugar Trust less
than they do the people. This need not
provoke any tariff discussion. since it
would involve no more than an admin
isrative change in the form of collect
ing q duty. BY the proposed change the
revenues from raw sugar would amount
to not less than S45.O0O.OOO year. while
under the ad valorem rate the fiscal rev
enues from this source will not exceed
S2S,O00,O0O a year. This would be
greater gain TO the revenues than could
De obtained by a restoration Of the whole
Mckinley schedule on wool and woolens.
AT the same time there would not be thei
slightest increase Of cost TO American
consumers Of refined sugar The ben
eft of the ad valorem duty all goes to
the Sugar Trust.
This IS an exceptional chance for our
Republican friends to vindicate their
oft repeated claims that they are always
IN favor Of a specific instead Of an adj
vslorem duty. Their organs and orators
denounced the Democrats Of the Fifty
Third Congress without stint for impos-
ing an al valorem instead of a specific
duty on raw sugar; and every calamity
organ in the land pointed to it as a
proof Of Democratic subserviency to the
Sugar Trust
Now they have the chance TO change
this duty without opposition from any
quarter, and in so doing kin two birds
with one stone by supplying the needed
increase Of revenue to the Treasury. and
at the same time showing their superior
i,y TO the establishments Of the Sugar
Trust
What are they going to do about &C.?
The change is also desirable as
vindication Of the Republican attitude
toward the Sugar Trust since the Nc
Kinley sugar schedule wantonly das-
poiled the Treasury Of a large volume
Of needed revenue while plundering Am
erican consumers for the sole benefit Of
this king of monopolies. Our Republi-
can friends need 20 be under no appre-
hens,on of a veto from President Cleye-
land. for such a change would be in ac-
cord with his principles. and they have
his assurances that he IS prepared to
cooperate with Congress i'm any meas
ure that win bring practical relief with
out charging the burdens Of the people
Here is a chance for this Congress TO
disprove the charge that it is at Wash
ing for political buncombe and not for
public business.
What is it going to do about it.?
Nothing

at the national capital demonstrating
against the seat in the Senate claimed by
the Republican Col. Du Pont, OF that
State being accorded him. on the ground
that. if he is seated. Mr.. Addicks and
the wealthy Republicans who have
sought the place Will fall to put up the
money that is necessary 10 carry Della
ware for the Republicans in the cleo
ton next year. They say that if the
money is not forthcoming the Demo-
Gratis will probably prevail in Delaware;
but, # the senatOrship is left open,
there viii be enough rich Republicans,
like Addicks. who are seeking the place,
to buy the State away from the Demo-
Gratis, and give it to their party.
This is the testimony of a Republic
can correspondent, and in it there is a
confession that may well engage public
attention. It is a frank disclosure of a
disgraceful state of facts. and there
Beems to be no doubt of its truth.

"The nOblest Roman Of them all" was
none too grand a comparison to fit the
venerable statesman who departed this
life yesterday. In the height Of its gran
deur the Roman senate never produced
a nobler character than Allen G. Thur
man. Recognized as most eminently
fitting. the people everywhere spontan-
eously took up the phrase and it has
characterized the veteran statesman
since his first utterance.
No American statesman so active and
radical in his political life has ever
been at the same time so generally ad-
miredrezpac,ed and loved by all the PEG
pie irrespective Of party. These trib-
utes, which are generally reserved for
obituary purposes, Allen G.. Thurman
has had all his long life, even when
foremost in the thick of the hottest po-
Etical battles. Wings. and, later, the
Republicans. had no use for the noble old
mans politics, but they always had re-
spect and admiration for the odd Ro-
man" while Democrats always loved
him, as a man and as a political leader.
The reason for this is plain. Judge
Thurman was ever fair and sincere. HIS
greatest enemy never questioned his in
tegrity and his ability was Of the high
est order. He never played the demagOgue
or special pleader told the truth al
ways, dealt kindly with his opponents,
and was as firm as the rock Of ages on
questions of principle.
Judge Humans long public life has
been of the utmost value to the nation,
not only for what he achieved in legis-
la-i0n. on the bench and at the bar, but
in the Inspiration he was to young men
growing up about him, whom he taught
the value Of integrity, sincerity manhood
and courage.
This truly grand old man has finally
gone 10 a weu-earned rest, full of years,
honors and the love Of whole nation.
