It would now seem as IL the C0mmis-
sioners and the Hon. slippery jim Rich
ardson OF Tennessee had formed an alliance
TO urge the street extension bond scheme
through Congress contrary to the plan
adopted for sewer improvement by the
Board of Trade ana in opposition to pub
iic sentiment. When the $T.5O0. 900 bond
bill was rejected by the Board of Trade
the Commissioners informed Mr.. Ross Perry.
chairman OF the special committee TO
examine into the question. that they would
support the sewage disposal plan recon-
mended by the sanitary engineers In 1890.
and with that understa nding the Board OF
Trade indorsed that Improvement. Since
then the Commissioners have changed their
minds and refuse 10 assist the Board OF
Trade, and. under their instructions, En-
ginter Commissioner Powell is said to be
preparing a report recommending the pas
sage OF the $40, 900. 900 bond steal intro
duced in the House by Representative
Richardson.
The public would like to know why the
Commissioners are so changeable, and also
what Incentive they have for attempting
to force a debt OF sac, ,OOo, 900 or more on
the taxpa yers of the District. The old street
extension provided for an issue of S., ,5OO.-

In the Past Week.

Such was the record of the circuia-
tion OF THE TIMES FOR the last seven
days.
This increase Was not due to extra
edilions, nor WAS IL caused by any
news matter in which the public was
especially Interested.
The growth of THE TIMES is not
contingent on unusual circumstances.
Its marvellous strides In amount Of ad-
vertiSing, number of subscribers and
extent OF popularity are due to Its
value AZ II fearless, independent and

Somebody made a suggestion at u CON
ference OF a subcommittee of the Senate
District Committee. the Commissioners and
a few other gentlemen that the price OF
water in the District should be raised.
This, too, in the face of the fact that at
the close of the last fiscal year there was
an accumulated surplus OF something like
100000 from the revenues of the water
department, exclusive, OF course, OF as
sessments for mains. As several hundred
buildings are erected In the city every
year the revenues naturally increase, and
unless there is an abnormal growth OF
running expenses during the current fiscal
year the 30th day OF next June ought TO
show an even larger surplus.
1t is not true that the citizens of wash
ington pay less for their water than those
of any city in me country, for there are
some places where water is as free as air
to the people, aud Senator Mcmillan bears
test imony that in Detroit it is now contem-
plated to introduce the free-water sys-
TEN. So far from making water dearer, it
ought to be made cheaper, for 1t is the
people of limited means W hO pa y I he bulk Of
1t. The landlord does not pay the rent, but
his tenant, and the lower the rent the better

There is both humor and business in the
decision of the Accident Insurance Com
panies of the country that bicycle riding
is extra hazardous and those who FOL
low it must be charged double rates 1t
is perhaps all right to tax the flying wheel
man an extra rate because he rccklessly
rides through the streets. but how about
the endangered pedestrian who is likely
to be run over and injured?
As q matter Of fact, In some localities
1t requires a good guesser to steer clear
Of the rampaging bicycle rider, and while
the balance of risk may be on the side of
the cyclist, there is danger enough of hav-
ing a wheel traverse the mortal frames of
people on foot to warrant an increase
of accident insurance all round, il the
principal of raising rates can be justified
at all.

A trick of the south wind amused passers
at Tenth and F streets northwest at 10
O'Clock this morning. A gust sweeping out
Tenth street lifted the top from forty

a wheel up the street.
The Metropolitan road has Just reached
the crossing on F with work for change of
power. and has the street torn up and
shut off with guard ropes. except the two

Chicago, March 19.-The strike of work
men on the new Coliseum, which threat
ened 10 interfere with the completion of
that building in time for the Democratic ma
tional convention, which is TO be held in it,
was brought to a close yesterday afternoon.
The settlement is in the nature of a tenn
porary compromise. with an agreement TO
submit the question at issue TO arbitration.
For a time things looked rather gloomy
to the Coliseum Company, but with the
stone matter out ofthe way and the building
in the hands of union men exclusively, it
is believed that nothing can prevent the
completion of the hall in time for the con-
vention.
