The New York Sun says in speaking of the
failure Of Pillsbury: Attention has been
drawn to the fact that Pillsburys defeats
have come chiefly from Steinitz. Pillsbury
heat Tschigorin in the first three games and
scored 1-2 in the first three games with
Lasker, but against Steinitz he couldn't
win ct all. PMlsbury's nearest friend in this
country, Mr.. Elwell of Brooklyn. makes this
explanation of the case:
'Pillsbury entered into partnership with
Steinitz, and signed articles of agreement
for business which I later, and upon in
qu1ry, discovered to be utterly imprac-
ticable. The scheme of Steinitz was to Sc
cure the exclusive right to publish the
scores OF the games played az ST. petersburg
and included, SO hear Steinitz claims, even
the news as to tho results and incidents of
the play"
This scheme Pillsbury found to be losing
one just as he was entering on the fourth
round. From then dates his failure. Mr.
Elwell says: "But for the anxieties and har-

"As these forty-aaMe4 Subdivisions COM

Special Benefits.

Mr.. Chaplin Brown called attention to
the fact that in the present case the jury
did not include special benefits in the 80
while in case 49, Inglesde subdivision.
they included the special benefits in the 80
per cent assessment for general benefits
He also said that in the latter case the
jury had, in several instances, allowed
as benefits the very same amounts allowed
for compensation for parts of lots taken.
In other words, claimed Mr.. Brown, while
land in those instances was taken no
compensation is, in fact, given to land
owners. He contended, too, that the Com
missioners were estopped from changing
subdivisions existing at the time of the
passage of the act
Mr.. G. H. Armes said that he admitted
that the government can, under its right
of eminent domain, take the lands in oues-
ton, but he challenged counsel for the
District to show the power of the govern

state of the Unioi benefits are assessed
against remaining lands, unless such a
thing is expressly prohibited by the laws

Constitutional Question.

Mr.. Wilson next claimed that the street
extension is unconstitutional, as its pro-
visions are uncertain, contradictory and in
capable of execution. That this is so, he
said. is best seen from the great difficulties
which beset the jury Of appraisers, although
they are competent men of experience, and
did the very best they could.
Referring to the provision Of the act
providing for so per cent assessment
of resulting benefits Mr.. Wilson cited the
decision 6f Judge Cox in the Rock Creek
Park case. in which the court held that
such benefits cannot be assessed against
adjacent lands. He called attention to the
fact that IN the case on hearing the court
had instructed the jury to confine such an
assessment to the subdivision in question
when Judge Cox intimated that he now
felt that he had erred in SO ruling. and
that he now thought that the whole Dis
trict should bear such an assessment of
benefits. Mr.. Worthington also intimated
that the District might not insist upon the
enforcement Of that provision. but Mr..
Wilson remarked that If that were done the
act would resemble the play of Hamlet
with the central figure left out.

South Carolina Tillman has his
eye on the democratic national con-
vention and is trying to muster
the free silver democrats to bolt
in that body. The manner in
which New has warmed the jacket
of the Carolina anarchist and
democrat in VOLTS clothing is de-
cidedly refreshing, but it will only
stimulate Tillman to push his
movement for division to the
farthest extremity. There is nc
telling where this silver movement
is going to land several of the
states. 1t is likely to unsettle
several calculations that have been
made as to electoral votes and

NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR MKINLEY.

NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR MKINLEY
| Chairman Putney OF the New
Hampshire republican convention
that broke even as between Nc
Kinley and Reed is out in an open
letter to Reeds manager, Chandler
telling him that he was wise not
to press resolutions for Reed alone
or he would have been treated to
some very drastic medicine. In
the course OF his letter Chairman
Putney says:
at was a Mckinley convention.
You should be thankful that it
was contented with smashing the
anti Mckinley combine. New
Hampshire republicans do not eX-
pect to see Reed nominated. First,
because they know the Platts and
Quays and ClarksOns, who have
seized his candidacy in order to
hold New England delegates, have
intended to betray him IL the time
ever comes when they could take
their retainers into some other
camp"
This would indicate that the
Texas methods did not go down
with those wide-awake New Eng
landers, and that the Platt-Quay-
Clarkson attempt to prevent the
free expression of opinion in New
Hampshire was not a success. The
simple fact is that these three men
are becoming a stencil in the nos
trils Of the party. The movement
that was so iniquitously carried
out in this state to defraud the
people of their preferences for Nc
Kinley, are being tried all over the
country, and it is matter Of con-
graduation that the steal Is not as
successful everywhere as it was
at Austin. Mckinley is the
choice of the people, and if put to
a popular vote all over the coun
try the republicans Of the United
States would poll larger vote for
him than for any OF his competi-
tors. There is no meaner business
any where than this attempt to
defraud the great masses Of the
republican party of their right Of
choice. That it will fail and over
whelm it's authors in ruin is to
be prayed for and worked for. A
lesson of this kind will be good
one for furture convention mani
pulators.
