no ILL WILL. BUT D1sGus

| A New Jersey newspaper expresses sym.
| pathy with Representative Pitney because
he. it sa ys, incurred some i'll will in the
| District of Columbia at the close OF the
| Congressional session by making hard
| fight In committee against Senate amend
ments which increased the appropria-
tions for District purposes The paper
then goes on prating about "washing-
| tonian greed" '.tle governments gen.
erosity," and necessity for economy in
government expenditures" and finally
commends Mr.. Pitney. all of which shows
| that it is fully as ignorant as he regarding
the relations and obligations OF the United
states to the District. The difference.
between them. however, is this: That
while a provincial paper may be excused
for its ignorance upon this point Pitncy's
is incxcusable. for it was Ills business as
a Representative in Congress to properly
inform himself.
In fact, Pitncy belongs to class of
Congressman WHO welcome anything and
everything that affords thcm an oppor-
tunity to make little cheap capital
for home consumption by posing before
their constituentsas champions of economy.
No matter how the end may be reached.
they allow no chance to pass. For this
class the appropriations for the District
furnish most welcome target against
which to direct their pseudo-ecvnomic
Shafts. They are men of small wit and
intellect. and whether the United States
is bound by equity or contract, or 10th.
to meet certain obligations and appropriate
certain moneys. makes not the slightest
impression upon tier mentality. Pitrey
is as good Il specimen of this class "a
any, except that bis galnst the
appropriations for local purposes We're.
if anything. even more absurd and dema.
gogicai than those of his consorts.
''washingtonian greed consists in max
ing estimates ana demands for expenditures
which are met by the taxes paid by the
property owners and bona fide residents
OF the District. The governments gen.
erosity Is best expressed by the figure o.
The governments obligations, however,
amount to Just one-haif OF the sum required
for the support OF tie District government
In other words, the United States by act OF
Congress, agreed to pay dollar for dollar
what the people of the District pay to de-
fray the local expenses. This was not an
act of generosity, but simply OF equity,
because the United states property in tile
District is mere than $ mach again in value
as that owned by private citizens. "The
necessity for economy in government ex-
penditures'' has nothing in the world to do
with the District appropriations. Congress
may be as economical US it pleases with
its appropriations for the rest OF the
country, but it is bound by contract
though sometimes it ignores even such an
obligation-to pay its one-half OF District
government expenditures.
His district will coafer an immense favor
on the people of this city by sending
someone besides Pitney to the House OF
Representatives.

BoNA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

0UNA.fIDE< NINSOL- n lOlNs
A reference to the state.
ment below will show that
the circulation sworn to is a
bona fide one.
1t is easily possible for a
newspaper with an elastic
conscience to swell its legit-
innate circulation enor-
mousIy, in order to deceive
advertisers, by sending out
thousands of papers to
news stands, which are re-
turnable, and which are in
fact returned, but nevertfe-
less are included in what
purports to be an honest
statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers,
however. judge by results,
and bogus circulation don't
give them.
The family circulation Of
The Times is many thou
sands in excess of any other
Washington paper and is
believed to be fully two
times that of its afternoon
contemporary.
The circulation of The Times for the
week ended June 19, 1896, was as fol-
lows:
Saturday, June Is 4s,037
Sunday, June IA =. 24,9'9
Monday, June IS 44,47O
Tuesday, June Is +. -. 44,766
Wednesday, June II .. 45,604

correct statement of the circulation of
The Washington Times for the week

Commissioner Murphy then assumed
charge of the meeting, liking a brief
introductory speech, in which he scored a
point when he said that he would impress
on the Democracy OF the nation especially
the idea OF 'snfailiDg faith in the cause
Of Democracy, unswerving fidelity until
the battle had been lost or woD." There
mag be. he said, gold men and silver
men, men Of all shades Of sentiment and
policy among the Democrats, but when the
convention shall have spoken there should
be neither Gentle nor Greek, all should
unite and present the front of pure. un-
sdultezated Democracy. Mr.. Murphy then

Campbell, whom he introduced. after eulo-

Suppose a subscriber would sub
scribe and pay for paper for year.
and suppose he would wait year and
never receive paper, we would nat
urally suppose that he would suppose
there was something wrong with the
editor, and suppose he would call
around and make some inquiry as to
the foundation of his superstition. And
then, further, suppose a subscriber
subscribes and does not pay, and the
editor sends his paper, supposing the
subscriber will drop in some day and
settle for same; but suppose the sub
scriber does not, are we not supposed
to suppose that the editor supposes
that he ought to come around and
explain why he didn't do what the
editor supposed the subscriber was
supposed to do. 1t is supposed to be

A Problem to he Solved.

When two, seemingly true Christ
ians, are passing each their separate
ways through the world, and their
pathways meet only to cause a COM
motion in each heart, which, by viz
tue of the urging of the evil one, soon
grows into animosity; and later on
those Christians are called home, then,
we ask, in consequence of their having
died without reconciliation, what is
the consequence There is only one
heaven, and both must go to this one,
if any, and as two conflicting spirits
are not allowed there, the above ques-
ton arises.

The reason, however, is simple. When
