The District assessor estimates that the
aggregate local revenues for the year end
ing June 80, 1898, will be $3.50, SIS. So, as
against s2,973. 100. IS last wear, an increase
OF $3s6,UtiS-OI, due to the natural increase
in the amount of taxable property owing
to the steady extension of building opera
lions. These estimates are the basis of the
annual appropriations, which should keep
pace with the ability of the District to con-
tribute to the joint fund created by the
act of 1875 1t is the common experience,
however, of the citizens who help to swell
the total by their taxes that they are not
permitted to reap a commensurate reward
in the form of proper improvements for
which there is a constantly pressing need
and demand. The District committees US
uaIly realize the urgency of the appeals
made to allow the District to utilize its en-
tire revenues in sensible betterments and
were the budgets left to the adjustment
of these bodies there would probably be
much less of the annual complaint Of I'M
just congressional parsimony that is so
we'll founded.

Washington gladly welcomes the repre-
sentatives of the Union Veteran Legion;
the freedom of the city is theirs In the
course of years this community extends
greeting to many organizations and indi-
yiduals. but of the countless visitors none
outranks the veteran who placed his life,
his fortune and his honor at the disposal of
his country; who fought that the Union
might be preserved and that this should be
the capital of the greatest of republics.
We are peaceful people who appreciate the
fact that peace may frequently be achieved
only through the horrors of war. We,
therefore. gladly do honor to those men
who contributed ali that could be asked of
them in the hour when the nations distress
was greatest. All of the pleasure is not,
however, ours. The visiting veterans are
undoubtedly gratified at being here, even
if their stay is but brief. They see, on
every hand, results which are directly and
Indirectly due to their patriotic valor, and
must be proud of the beautiful city, which
as capital. represents the Union in minia-
ture, and typifies the republic for whose
preservation they fought.

punishinK LyncherH.

A few more sentences like those imposed
yesterday couple of Alabama lynchers
might so far toward solving the trouble
some problem of how to suppress this form
of lawlessI ess. These men participated in
a lynching four years ago, but have Just
been tried and convicted. The court SEN
fenced them to Imprisonment for life, and
this penalty will probably be hereafter
adopted in the state as the proper punish
ment Of these volunteer executioners. The
race question did rot enter into the case.
for all the parties were white. 1t was
possible to consider the offense as murder
and to impose the death penalty, for the
lire betW cen lynching and the great capt.
tai crime Is too fine to be considered when
the public safety, so seriously menaced by
the application of lynch law, is in jeop-
ardy. Yet much has been accomplished
by this conviction and the enemies of the
lynching system-for it has grown into
such proportions as to begin to deserve
that name-should take heart and labor
with more determination than ever to root
out the evil.

The Rules of the Road.

Riders and drivers of all kinds who make
use of the highways of the District Of
Columbia ought to pay attention to the
criticisms recorded by the hack inspector
In the annual report he has just made to
the superintendent of police; the criticisms
which are directed at those persons-mainly
bicyclists Of the scorcker varicty-who in
sist upon turning corners too sharply, who
pass other riders drivers on the wrong
side and who apparently give no heed to
the wholesome regulations which have
been framed for the equitable government
of traffic on the public streets. Cyclists
are not, however. the only sinners, and this
is recognized by the inspector. But what
are the authorities going to do about it!
Somewhere in the misty past IS a legend
which has 1t that man was once arrested
in this city for driving on the wrong side
CT the street. The memory of what was
done to tat surprised misdemeanant has
faded away entirely. Might 1t not be a
good thing for the police to make examples
of some Of the willful and careless? The
rules of the road are few In number and
devoid Of completing and confusing
terms. The law ought to be enforced.

into stampede. Is q surprise at all likely
1T Chicago in this fight? Both sides are on
guard. The great town is picketted like a
camp. 1t is camp, to all intents and pur-
poses. How then, with General-in-Chief
Hanna on hand and apprised Of the enemy's
Intentions, shall Gov. Altgeld go about
stampeding The republicans?
Much of course Is expected of Mr.. Bryan
himself. He is to return to Chicago and
devote several days to speaking. But he
cannot reasonably be expected to be the
great card there that he was at first. The
people are not as curious about him as they
have been. They have seen him and heard
him, and some of the novelty of having a
presidential candidate in town has worn
eff. This next will be his third visit since
he was nominated. On the previous occa-
sions he was fresh and strong Of voice.
Now he Is hoarse and worn, and reports go
to show that the carrying power of his
fine voice is much impaired. No more
stampeding orations, therefore, are prob
able from him.
If MIR. Hanna and his lieutenants have
the game in Illinois in their hands at this
time they are very likely to hold 1t. The
racket of the next three weeks is certain
to be terrific, but there Is no reason why
any experienced politician should lose his
head and suffer himself to be overreached.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-10-14
POpulist or Democrat:

The address of the populSt executive
committee stripped of campaign buncombe.
Is a vote of confidence in Mr.. Bryan as
populist. 1t bears no other practical mean
ing. Populists are urged to put aside any
shortcomings of the democratic party, to
forget any selfshness exhibited by that
party in the matter of fusions, consum-
mated or attempted, and consider that their
duty as populists and patriots calls for
them to go to the polls and vote for Mr.
Bryan.
What effect this Endorsement will have on
the more or less disgruntled populist party
remains to be seen. 1t may secure votes
for Mr. Bryan. 1t may turn the scale
where the populist balance is nice and
needs to be tipped one way or the other.
But if it adds to Mr.. Bryan's strength with
wavering populiSts, may it not have the OPP
posite effect on wavering democrats?
The dispatches daily give account OF
democrats here and there who are just
seeing their way clear to reject the Chi
cago ticket. They are men who have been
pondering the question ever since the ticket
was put up. They have been hesitating
about accepting it purely on the grounds
of Regularity Their objection to 1t has
been based on the populistic leaninSs and
Arguments of Mr.. Bryan. How many more
waverers remain? And how much longer
will they continue to waver. now that the
populists formally have again put the seal
of their approval on the head of the Chi
cago ticket?
Mr.. Bryans danger as candidate would
be Mr.. Bryan's difficulty President.
Both populists and democrats would be
claiming him, both are claiming him
now. He would be the victim of divided
duty. II he should come out in full popu-
list colorS, the populists would expec t
and demand. he would lose large portion
of his democratic support. and vice versa.
If he should attempt to play between the
two camps, throwing sops first to one and
then to the other. he would repeat the fail
Ure now recorded in these cases Of fusion,
and bring down upon his head the maledic-
items of both. The ardent partisan only
half served is usually more aggressive and
intractable than one who has got nothing.
A little patronage, like a taste of blood,
whets the appetite for more.
Mr.. Watson gets no comfort. He prob
ably was not expecting any. He charges
grave mismanagement on the part of many
of the populst leaders, and a review of the
field seems to warrant fully the accusation
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-10-14

If il is true, as reported, that Gov. Alt
geld's hope of carrying Illinois for silver is
in his ability to stampede Chicago and
Cook county during the closing days of the
campaign. that state may be counted as
lost to Mr.. Bryan. No such performance
is possible in the light CT a wide advertise
ment. The possibilities of hurrah are linz
tied.
Gov. Altgeld in dealing with the Chicago
public cannot hope successfully to copy Mr.
Bryan in dealing with the Chicago conyen-
ton. The Chicago convention was stam-
pedei. No clearer case of the kind is to be
adduced But it was not a matter of con-
trivance. and therefore not matter CT
previous advertisement There is some
partisan fiction afioat to the effect that Mr.
Bryan carefully laid all of his plans and
confidently felt that he would win. but it is
easily to be seen that if he had even limited
in advance that he was going to sweep the
convention off of its feet by brilliant
address he could not have done so. Even
the address which accomplished that result
would have failed if it had been a feature
Of a We'll understood program and billed to
be nomination maker. The convention
was not expecting to be carried away, and
hence was the easy slave of a capital piece
of popular oratory.
