Reassessments of District property un-
der the act of Congress of August Ia ,
1894, and the joint resolution of January
81 1886, have been completed only as to
the city, but so far as made, the Commits

sessments will be completed in time to
enable collections based thereon to be
made in May next.

in which it is asserted that IAN essential
fault IN the existing law is the peremptory
requirement that at the expiration of two
years from the date Of the sale OF piece
of real estate for overdue taxes, the Com
m!ssloners must, on demand of the owner
eff the taxable certificate, issue a deed
for the property.
LAS the deed carries with it a clear
title against any claim of the District for
taxes due prior to its issue, it is a con-

Mr.. Brynn's Receptions.

Cheering crowds at railway stations and
at town meetings are complimentary and
comforting to Il candidate. but they are
poor guides to election returns. Many po-
liticai leaders have made this discovery.
rake. for instance. the race made for gov
ernor by James f.. Campbell in Ohio last
year. Mr. Campbelrs campaign was an un-
usually encouraging from the stand
point Of the popular interest manifested.
The people fiOcked in large numbers to hear
him. He was In fine fettle and the demon-
STATIONS filled him with confidence. His
friends shared in the feeling. and sent pre-
dictions abroad that he would win. They
could find no other explanation of the great
interest shown in the candidate and his ar
guments. But Mr.. Campbell not only did
not win. but was defeated by the largest
majority ever thrown against a guberna-
torial candidate in that state.
MIR. Blame. who was superb speaker
had somewhat similar experience in his
race for the presidency in 1854. His recep-
tons on his railway tours were oyations
The people trav. He'd miles and campsd over
night. to greet him and hear him speak
The crowds in Indiana, which was a piy-
otai state that year. were SO large the town
halls were utterly incapable of holding
them. Mr.. Blaine was confident of success.
Experienced man that he was. he could
make nothing but success out of these ex-
traoriinary evidences of popular interest
IN him and his cause. But the ballot-boxes
reflected little of this. He was beaten it is
true. by only beGGariy thousand votes in
New York. but the promise had been of his
election by sweeping majority east and
west.
MIR. Bryan just now is confronting this
problem. The crowds flocking to hear him
are large and enthusiastic They cheer
him and shake his hand. and the manifes-
tations of interest are sending his spirits
up He expresses himself as greatly sur
prised and gratified at greetings he had ex-
pected to receive only in the west But do
these greetings promise votes in Novem-
Der? VIII each of the cheers that now go
up be supplemented by ballot on election
day?
Mr. Bryan stands in danger of being mis-
led on this score. just as Mr. Blaine and
Mr. Campbell were misled. The element of
mere curiosity must always be taken into
account in considering the meaning of
crowd Mr.. Bryan. as the youngest man
ever nominated for President. and the only
one who ever captured such a prize by a
speech. possesses an interest for strangers
which may easily be separated from noit
ical support.

1t worth his while to give some thought
to the change in the patrol system which

In the Lakeside city an end.ayor is und ar

his precinct station every hour and leaving
quite three-fourths of his beat unprotected

Is to have each patrolman walk straight

minutes. A municipal magazine describes
the improved methods by saying that when

thing for Chicago. 1t would probably be a
good thing for Washington; it certainly
has the appearance of being an improve
ment upon the method now locally in
vogue.
