against forwarding obscene literature
Trough the mails.
While the Postoffice Department Is thor
oughly In line with such action, yet there
: no confirmation to be obtained OF eN-
traordinary efforts looking to tie prOsecu-
tion OF newspaper publishers. The atten-
tiun OF the public has been brought to- This
question through the recent conviction
Of Joseph Dunlop, the publisher of the Chi

yertisements.
For n long time Dunlop continued these

Street Railway Extension Is All thu


Street Railway Extension Is All the
Rage Now
The Senate Distric: Committee is being
stirred up pretty lively nowadays on the
matter OF street railroad extension.
A letter has Just been received by the
committee from Mr.. HERNIA Il. Walbridge
Urging the extension of some line up Sew
cntecuth street north west. He says there is
no section of the District where street
railroads so mach needed as between Four
teenth street and Connecticut avenue and
II street and the park. He says further:
Il believe that Seventeenth street is the
most direct, feasible, and, in fact, the
natural street railroad route from II street
to Meridian Hill, Mount Pleasant and the
Geological and Rock Greek parks: and fur
ther. will more satisfactorily and fully pro-
vide this section and the District with the
much .icedcd street railway facilities. than
any other street or avenue
Congress. some years ago. at large eX-
pense created Geological Park. There
is an earnest and almost universal demand
on the part OF our citizens that Congress
will now provide for a direct street rail-
road to it. ! confidently assert that
| modern street railroad to Mount Pleas
| ant and the Geological PARK Will secure
| greater benefits and receive more uni
versaI commentator than any extension
| of our street railway system.
Many similar letters are being received,
urging the committee TO act favorably.
But there is growing impression that
| Sixteenth street should be the one chosen
| for the extension. The street is nearly as
wide as an avenue and an underground
| electric road would not interfere much
with the travel. II Is quite probable that
| this street may yet be chosen as the route.
| Its use is being urged by great many
| people.
| The Senate amendments to the hill in

Revolution was today agreed to by the

| dent for his signature

MIR. MOORE THINKS
That Bryan's Chances are Getting Better
Every Day

Every Day.
Thos. l.. Moore, of Christiansburg, who
recently resigned his position rs common
wealth attorney Of Montgomery county,
arrived in the city yesterday and was
quartered at the Ponce de Leon, where a
Times man called to see him.
In answer to the question, whether or
not the Democratic party stood better
chance this year than in 1892, Mr.. Moore
said:
81 cannot say the Democratic outlook IS
any better, but Bryan's chances are get
Ing better every day. and he has nothing
to fear except Mark Hanna's money!
He stated further that the sentiment
was greatly increasing every day in favor
OF Bryan and that there would be more
boiling Republicans than Democrats. A
great many people throughout the State
try to make people believe they are going
to vote for Mckinley when in reality they
will cast n vote for Bryan. He has al
ways been n lifelong Republican, yet a
silver man, and could do nothing but sup
port Bryan in the coming election. He
says the Republicans are making strong
canvass and Mckinley money is being
circulated very extensively.
He does not know if his resignation will
be accepted, and will not be notified until
the next term of the court the latter part
of this month. Mr.fMoore leaves to-day
for Christiansburg, and thence to Pied
mont, where he will address the Democ-
racy tonight.
