MONEY FOR STREETS.

Com missioners' Estimates for Next
Year Are Extremely Liberal.
Commissioner Powell has in view much
more liberal appropriation for street paw
ing for 1se697 than has been accorded for
several years past, his estimate being for
S65O,OOO, as against less than S15O,000
for each of two years past.
Other departments with needs more press
ing absorbed the revenues To such an ex-
tent in 1894 and this year that street
improvements were given but little more
more than one-third OF the amount esti-
mated.
1t is now the purpose OF the engineer de-
pa artnent 10 recover at least one-half OF
the fund diverted those two years and
add 1t to the regular annal estimate. which
will give very liberal appropriation.
Major Powell said yesterday that the
coming revenues were being carefully esti-
mated. and IL the sum TO be realized will
admit II, as he believes il will, he will ask
for the increase.

Fifty-ninth Anniversary Celebration
Of the w. l.. I. Battalion.

Fifty-ninth Anniversary Celebration
of the w. l.. 1. Battalion.
The Washington Light Infantry battalion
took q very pleasant retrospect last evening
on fifty-nine years OF social and military
history. The fifty-ninth anniversary, as
usual, was the occasion for the assemblage
of the lady friends OF the battalion, and there
were present a large number to witness
and take pa rt in the programme.
The features OF the celebration were
a dress parade and review OF the battalion,
the presentation of honorary medals for
service, music. dance. and refreshments.
The battalion was under command oi
Capt. John 8. Miller, his staff being
Surgeon C. X. Luce, Adjutant ". NJ.
Arnold, Lieut.. A. w. Kelly.
The reviewing officer was Col. W. g.
Moore.
just before the review was closed Col
Moore presented the gold medals for sery-
ice, as follows:
Six years service-To Sergts. E. l..
Phillips and II. T, Leach, and Privates W.
ID. Davidge, jr., W. J. Thorowgood, A. G.
White, NJ. l.. Smith and j. F Janezeck.

As those to whom the medals were Ia be
presented were called out OF the ranks there
was applause in every case. the ladies join
ing in the tribute to the soldiers.
Col. Moore's medal was presented to him
in a few happily delivered remarks by Capt.
John s. Miller, who. referred To the circum-
stances that in one year more Col. Moore
will have rounded out a quarter of a century
of service TO the w l.. /. and hoped that he
would be preserved TO them at least for u
quarter of a century more.
Col. Moore responded briefly, his re-
marks and decoration with the medal
being received with great applause.

HAS SOLVED ITSELF.
Stevens School VIII Probably Re-
main Where 1t Is.

Stevens School VIII PrObabl Re-
main Where 1t Is.
All bids recently submitted for the
work OF reconstructing the Stevens School
building were yesterday rejected by the
Commissioners.
As heretofore stated In The Times, the
lowest bid was $4,000 in excess of the
available appropriation, and the effort Of
the building inspector TO reduce the speci-
fications to bring the cost within the bid
mas been found TO be futile, since the pro-
tected Improvements, when completed as
originally designed. will prove to be still
inadequate for the accommodation of a
school of 800 pupils.
The Miner building, to which 1t was
proposed to transfer the Stevens School
temporarily, having been condemned as
Insanitary on account of defective plumb
ing, there Is possibility that the pupils
will occupy their old quarters for another
year. and the reconstruction of the build
.Dg be deferred until the close of the term.

KANGAROO PUT TO DEATH.
Zoo Officinis Pitied the Poor Old
HOmesick Animal.

The oldest Kangaroo at The Zoo was put
to death officially yesterday afternoon by
Mr.. Joseph Palmer, taXiderE!st OF the
National Museum. This unfortunate exile
from A ustralia has of late excited the SYM
pathy OF the hundreds of thousands of vis-
itors To the Geological Gardens. In her
extreme old age she began to pine for her
native land. she grew sick, her hair began
to turn very grey and thin, and otherwise
she presented a pitiable spectacle.
1t occurred To the Officers of The museum
that this Lonesome Kangaroo that was not a
thing of bea uty and could not he Joy for
ever, ought to bc hastened into the heaven OF
her kind and kindred.
Her taking off was performed in most
singular manner, one which is infinitely
superior To electrocution, hanging, or
drowning The official executioner OF this
pet kang aroo Of the nation used chloroform
and il Is reported that the poor exile died
with the fumes OF death in her lungs and q
smile of gratitude on her elongated face.

ONLY A SUB.
He Didn't Propose to Pace His Beat
When Hi, SuperiOrs Were Asleep.

w hCh w ere hSiceDs
From the Cincinnati Tribune.)
Col. Deitsch tells an amusing story OF an
experience he once had with a new patrol
man in Cumminsville. 1t was one OF the
| rainiest nights OF the season and the chief
was driving home in his buggy. He passed
an officer who was trying to keep dry by
leaning up against the lee side OF patrol
| box.
Good morning. Mr.. Officer" saluted the
colonel. Its n bad night to be OUT
Yes, indeed; it's very wet and uncom-
Portable" answered the officer who seemed
glad to find some one TO talk to.
Wont you jump in my buggy and. rice
a little way?"
The patrolman readily complied, and the
following dialogue ensued:
How long have you been on this beat,
Mr.. officer"
"only couple of days. I'm sub and
don't know much about the business yet"
How far does your beat extcnd?''
ITO Mohawk bridge, l Think -
who is your superintendent OF police
now?"
"oh, some old German that lives up here
on Hamilton pike. Deitsch is his ma me, but
/ have never seen him."
what Kind OF a fellow is this Deitsch,
do you know?'
No, don't; ,..ar a good deal about
him from the other policemen, though.
Some say lie is n strict disciplinarian, some
say he is a good fellow and others say he is
a son-ofa gun; but l don't know anything
about him. ! suppose he's all three
Just then the buggy passed Mohawk
bridge, and the colonel said:
''what bridge is that?"
Mohawk bridge, believe they call it,"
.'Is II the end OF your beat:''
"Oh. l guess IL is: but that doesn't make
much difference. It's a bad night. and
nothing's going on" cliatted the new cop.
"Well, amt you afraid some of your
superiors viii find you out Of your beat?''
Not likely to. The lieutenant won't
go out for tonight, and the old stuff up the
pike has been snoozins for six hours. l
guess. He wouldn't be around In this
weather"
Here the buggy pulled up in front of the
coionel's home, and turning to the man he
said:
This is where live, and may as W.
say that l am Col. Deitsch.''
The officers eyes bulgetl out and his
hair stood on an end as he gasped: "oh, Iry
God"
Never mind,' said the chief Let this
be u lesson to you. Never get in a buggy
with any one, never leave your beat, never
go on the beat until you are familiar
with its boundaries and don't talk too much.
Come down to my office at 8 O'Clock to-
morrow morning l want to talk with you,
but don't be uneasy tonight. for nothing is

Northeast Citizens Fear the Practice
May Prove Costly.
The brush heaps on vacant lot near
Tenth and streets northeast were set on
fire early last evening. To those in the
vicinity the display was not viewed with
pleasure, as small wiad would have car
ried the sparks to adjo:ling house-tops
and in all probability caused a coEflagra-
tion.
Some of the officers Of the Northeast Cit-
zens' Association Were sat the fire last
night, and expressed their opinion that
the matter should be- brought before the
Commissioners. John ;CoIvin, of the asso-
citation, who lives on Eighth street, near G,
will probably bring the matter before the
next meeting of the Northeast Citizens

is POPULIsM SOCIALISM.

lnter-Mountain Advocate.
The answer as to whether or not
populists believe and teach socialism
depends very largely upon the deRni-
ton that is given to the term social.
ISM"
Webster's definition is: "a social
state in which there is a community of
property among all citizens; a new
term for agrarianism.
The same authority defines agrarian
ism as being san equal division of
lands or property, or the principles Of
those who favor such DIVISION"
Taking Webster's definition of the
term, one may say emphatically that
populism is in no way related to soci-
alism.
There is no part of the populist plat
form that favors any division of priv
ate property, equal or otherwise. No
such doctrine has ever been promul-
gated from the stump by any recog-
nizedtOpulist. In fact, all populists
oppose such proposition.
Nor do populists teach that all prop
srty should be held in common by the
community-eyerybOdy owning every.
thing in general, but no one owning
anything in particular. On the Other
hand, it teaches that "all wealth be-
longs to him who produces it," that Il
belongs to him in person, his to d.
with as he likes, and no one else hai
any right or claim upon it or any por,
ton Of it.
Populists oppose the taking of pri
yate property for public use, upon the
same principle that they oppose tn
taking of public property for privat
use. They believe and teach tina
there are two kinds Of prOpertoy-p ul
tic and private. They teach that pub.
Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1895-08-15

heading, and, like the water system
should be owned by the city.
POpulists believe that the railroads
are public necessity. We claim that
in their very nature they are public
highways. They are considered while
in course of construction. Under the
spacious plea of being a public high
way, they force their right of way
across farms and over private property
If it best suits the convenience of the
road to build it where your house
stands, you can be forced to move
your house by the company paying you
whatsoever damages board of arbi-
traitors may name. You as a private
individual, can have no say in the mat
ter whatever. The company is given
this power by law.
But how very different after the road
is Completed 1t at once becomes pri-
vate property. The company can
charge such rates as the traffic will
stand and extoIt from the people such
prices for services as their necessities
will Warrantand there is no help. To
state it briefly, pOpulists believe that if
railroad was public highway be-
fore it was put into operation, it is
afterwards. If this be socialism, then
populists are socialists.
But please note that the difference
between populists and republicans, or
democrats, is in degree, but not in
kind. All agree that schools, post
offices, etc., should be operated by the
public. Populists only go little far
ther; they think all public utilities
should be included.
No populist believes that the sacred
realm of private property should ever
be invaded for any purpose or under
any pretext whatever, except in cases
of public necessity, such as railroads,
but insists that in all cases where pri-
vate property is taken for public use
that the enterprise so exercising the
right of eminent domain shall forev er
be the property of the public. The
present system takes private property
for public use and at once turns it over
to private individuals to use for private
gain. The individual should be left
free to enjoy his own property, and
should not be subjected to robbery at
the hands of corporate greed obtained
in the way of franchises, which is
granting a monopoly upon what, in the
very nature of the case, belongs to the
public. Populists are not socialists ex-
cept in so far as pertains to public
utilities.
