THEY NAMED TT "DUGHI."

The people who live around Edwards
Mills. six miles from the city, some
weeks ago secured the location OF
post-office at that point. The hrst
thing to consider was the name for
the new mail-point. First one and
then another was suggested, until at
last some one suggested that the post
Office be named s'Dughi," in honor OF
Raleigh's well known caterer. 1t struck
the people as good idea, and the name
went. The new name has just been
sent to the Postmaster General for his
approval.
Mr.. Dughi announces that in recognl-
ton of the honor conferred on him he
is going tosgivs great reception to
all the people of the neighborhood

What VIII Gov. O.Ferran Do.

1t is somewhat remarkable that flag
rantly-open gambling is today a feature Of
life in that part of Virginia which is sep
arated from the city of Washington only
by the Potomac river. There was time
when public gambling in Alexandria county
was in no sense remarkable, for then the
state authorities were careless and the
county authorities worse. A change was
expected. and reasonably, through Gov.
OFerrall, who had declared that he would
wipe out the plague spots Of Alexandria
county. To some extent, the governor has
redeemed his pledges. For what has been
done the inhabitants of the national cap
ital are grateful; as to what may be done
those same people are hopeful There Is
much to do. Today the gambling dens on the
Virginia shore above the Aqueduct bridge
are running as openly as if their proprietors
were satisfied that the officers Of the law
had agreed to protect instead of prosecute
them. Appeals to Alexandria county Off
cials rarely accomplish anything. The Pc
tition must be addressed to the governor
of one of the proudest states in the union
state many of whose children have
boasted that principle was more to them
than any variety of material gain. What
will Gov. OFerraN do?
Evening star., 1896-08-24


They hold that the Chicago Convention,
surrendered the principles Of democracy
in far more than the declaration in favor
Of free coinage. The attack on the su-
preme Court, the attack on the civil serv-
Ice law, the questioning Of the power Of
the general government to maintain order
in the country, are all held to be antagon-
istic to true democracy. and therefore the
national democrats repudiate the work Of
the convention They refuse to be bound
by the action Of agents who not only ex-
oeeded their authority but betrayed their
principals.
But MI. Smith takes the other view. He
holds that as a democrat he should bow to
the will of the majority regularly ex-
pressed and bow he does. Moreover, 1t is
contended for him that he had explicitly
committed himself so to do. and therefore
was doubly pledged. In an address deliver
ed last winter before the Georgia legis-
lature, in which he advocated the policy
Of sound money, Mr.. Smith said:
But above all let US remember as demo-
Gratis that no matter how the next ma
tional convention Of the democratic party
acts-whether We be for the free coinage
of silver, or whether we be for sound
money, We must support the national nom
inees of our party. We will find in the
platform Of our party, outside Of the flnan-
cial question, more to Justify our attach
ment and devotion than we will find In
any other party platform. even though
the other platform should agree with our
financial views"
1t Is to be observed that the stress laid
was on silver. Mr.. Smith had no other
matter then in mind. Discussion In no
quarter at that time even suggested a
formal attack on the Supreme Court, on
the civil service law. or on the administra-
ton for putting down the Debs strike.
If Mr.. Smith had had an intimation then
of just what the democratic national plat
form would contain Outside of the finan-
clal question" would he have pledged HIM
self unreservedly to Its support? The ma
tional democrats regard the financial plank
Of the platform, dangerous as it is. as the
least dangerous of its enunciations. There
IS nothing whatever in the platform that
arouses their attachment and devotion"
1t is observed that Mr.. Smith Is doing
for Mr.. Bryan what Mr.. Bryan would not
have done for him. If the Chicago conven-
ton had nominated Mr.. Smith for Presi-
dent upon a gold platform Mr.. Bryan
would have refused to support him. But
Mr.. Bryan in that act would simply have
been keeping his word, as Mr.. Smith by his
act is now keeping his. The difference be-
tween the two men Is that Mr.. Bryan will
not follow his party beyond his individual
convictions, and in this matter frankly
proclaimed the fact.
Mr.. Smith returns to Georgia to resume
his place at the bar. The judgment which
he most highly prizes, and by which he
must longest abide, will be found there
In supporting the Chicago platform he
puts himself in touch with his people. He
was in touch with them when he left them.
and he is in touch with them now. 1t
is not a case of martyr at all

What Arc the Hounds of Washington

If no part of the Navy Yard bridge Is
within the city limits. then there is ground
for the contention that Congress, while In
tending to refuse, has, ir fact, granted the
right to use the overhead trolley on that
bridge, in the discretion of the Commits
s:cners. But the latter, before so eXercis-
ing their discretion as to reverse the intent
of the lawmakers who framed this legisla-
tion, should be absolutely certain of the
strength of their legal position and of its
defences in sound public policy.
The District Supreme Court, iE the de-
cision in the Potomac Flats case. cited a
decision of the Circuit Court of the District
In 1852, which upheld corporation ordi-
nance Furnishing a vessel for excessive
speed within the city limits, and which de-
clared that the place where its infraction
occurred, being east and north of the main
channel and north of the arsenal was
within the corporate limits of the city,
which extended to the middle of the main
channel of the river" 1t would appear
that in 1852, according TO this decision the
Anacostia boundary of Washington. which
Is described as proceeding with the waters
of the Eastern Branch was the middle
line of that river. If this is the boundary
line today. one-half of Navy Yard bridge is
within the city limits. and upon that half,
at least, the overhead trolley may not be
used.
But the Supreme Court adds that: "By
the act of 18th of August 1856 01 Stat
12M. 1t declared that the bounds of
the corporation of Washington were ex-
tended so FAR as to comprehend the lower
Eastern branch or Navy Yard bridge: and
il was empowered to enact regula tions re-
spcct.Eg the safety of persons or prop
erty crossing *" This statute seems to
bring the whole of the bridge within the
city limits, BY extending the bounds of
Washington from the middle line of the
Aracostia river to the opposite shore.
Tha organic act of 1878 declares: That
portion CT the District included within the
limits of the city of Washington as the
same existed the twenty-first day of
February, eighteen hundred and seventy
one, shall continue to be known as the city
of Washington" If the Anacostia bounds
of Washington We're enlarged by the act
of 1876, it is the greater Washington which
exists today, and the original maps of the
city have nothing to do with the case.
The people of Washington care COM
parativcIy little whether the wires of the
Capital railway cross the Navy Yard
bridge above or below the track. The over
head trolley on the bridge doubtless brings
with 1t the smallest amount of danger,
damage and Disagreement of which that
motor is capable But the people do care
very much If the law against additional
overhead wires in Washington is to be
violated and weakened through a reversing
misconstruction of act of Congress.
The Commissioners and the railroad COM
pany would do well to make very sure
that they are right before going ahead.

Upon the authority of Captain-General

10000 new troops arrive at Havana, to

Captain-General Weyler plans with so
