leader of the Lynch faction of the re-
publican party in Mississippi, was here

litical interests and demanding that his

ration that he is a citizen of Washing
ton, and not Mississippi, is indorsed by
the Adams county commissioners, and
they will not put him on the ticket there.
Lynch will seek redress before the courts.
He was to-day admitted to practice be-

New York, Oct. 12.-The following state
ment was given out at the national repub-
lican headquarters to-day after a confer

THE election of Mckinley and Hobart
is an accomplished and assured fact. They
will receive go electoral votes. Bryan will
receive 40, and there are six states, hav-
ing 81 electoral votes, which are doubtful,
but the probabilities all point to the fact
that these 67 votes will go into the repub-
lican column and be added to the 30 now
assured for Mckinley and Hobart. This
is the status to-day We have the cleo
ton and will hold it. Our present effort
in the west is to this end only The oppo-
sition have abandoned the east.

For a Park on the Potomac.

1t is a matter of congratulation to both
the Christian Endeavor committee on ar
rangcments for 1896 and the citizens OF
Washington in general that the House Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds
agreed to favorably report the bill allow
ing this great and good Christian organiza-
tion the use of the monument grounds during
the July convention.
1t is believed that the bill will now speed
lily pass, and that tens of thousands of
visitors will DE afforded beautiful breath
ing space for devotion or recreation.
Wncn the Knights of Pythias were enter
tained last year, in this same place, it was
seriously regretted that the Mall so igno-
miniously ended in the mud banks OF the
Potomac. Here is beautiful location for
a water-edged park, to form fitting ter
mination for the magnificent vista sweep
ing down from the Capitol to the grand old
river. A little filling, grading and curb

graphical result, and the remaining neces-
sites could easily be supplied from the

ture nearby.

Questions for Our Tri-Headed Autocracy to

The necessity of different form of District gov
eminent has never been apparent at present.
The Trocracy that controls public affairs is evil
denty in league with monopoly and all measures
either to cheaper public expenditures to lessen
public burdens carefully turned down instead OF
being approved, as they would be by a government
of the people.
Without stopping to discuss details or to refer to
minor affairs. the Commissioners are respectfully
requested to answer the following:
Why they urgently recommended the bill and
its by Congress- when they knew
but entering wedge indebtedness of at least
100000 nothing of much be paid
interest?
Why they granted permit the Electric Light
and Power Company erect poles wires when such
company existed; they attempting
permission for that in indirect through
ton to the exclusion of other companies whose appica
tions franchises they
tions?
Way they recommend licenses to saloons
in Division they only
the sale liquor by the dsorder of that sec
ton also why they authorize the police to protect those
places viola ion of the law and in opposition to the de-
mands of public sentiment?
Why they persstenty act special guardians of the
Bell telephone monopoy when other teepnone conpaes
offer give equally good service for half the present
psns9 pass PROVIDED "e' ca" secure
There other questions which The Times will
PROFOUND to the Commissioners later on, as
sity may demand, in order to show the public that,
in the administration of public affairs, they are
neither fair unprejudiced, and to demonstrate
that it would be better for taxpayers to elect
their own form of government than to longer con-
tnue tri-headed autocracy, created at the nsti-
cation of rings and constantly under the influence
of an element opposed to giving the public more
than the crumbs that fall from the table of District
The sentiment against such injustice is
rapidly gaining ground and the question of District
suffrage must soon come UP for settlement. 1t will
be contest either for against popular govern
ment, and the ring element will be opposed by those
who believe in allowing voters to decide how their
affairs shall be conducted The result can readily
be predicted.

District Commissioners, on the 3Oth in
stant. OF the advocates aud opponents of

grcss. Every friend OF our dumb animal IS
viii rejoice if said bin passes in its origi-
nal shape. i is TO be hoped that The Times
viii advocate this humane measure aud
in the same fearless manner that il does
other reforms.
While reading the alleged remarks of
one of the speakers at the above meeting it
occurred to me that the man who can. for
the purpose of experiment, or to demon
strate the experiments of other yiyisec-
tionists, subject even a worthless cur to
agonizing torture, often prolonged to
hours, and frequently ending in death
before the completion of the experiment,
TO the man who has the nerve and unfeel-
ing heart to do this. ii is but a short step
TO experimenting with his human patients.
He would justify his course with the
thought, lit is far better to try this
new theory of mine. even though my
patient loses his life in the experiment. ir
by SO doing, science is benefited and
thousands of other lives can be saved
thereby"
Let the bill pass; if for no other reason
than because no argument for vivisection
applies more forcibly to the brutes who
cannot speak for themselves and cry ont
for mercy than 1t does to man.

elaborate representations of archi-
lecture and landscape in these dra wings
would convince anyone OF the utter i'm
practicability of any such project at this
time, but the germinal idea, that of ia cling
the edge OF the Mall with a pleasant water
outlook, is capable of immediate realiZa-
tion. A park with trees, fountains, settees,
shrubs, and all the artificial and natural
adornments known to civic enterprise, is
always a profitable and healthfu adjunct
to municipal life, but let such a pirk
be given a water edge and its value and
attractiveness is doubly enhanced.
We need such a park in Washington. and
the end of the Mall is its appropriate To-
cation. 1t would be a boon to the COM
mon people and it would add one more
charm to the most beautiful city in the
world. Washington needs this for herself
and she needs it for the general government
whose home she is.

brls. and the underbrush, and give us a

Emperor William Recruit & in America.

1t is now learned that in the intervals
of arduous correspondence on the subject
of the Venezuelan dispute, of the Consul
Waller case, and of the Bering Sea fisheries,
Secretary olney has a new diplomatic care.
A hundred years ago the incident might
have been considered a sufficient cause for
war.
1t seems that the eagerness of the Ger
man Kaiser to strengthen outstanding army
has, according to the dispatches, resulted
in the Imprisonment of an American citi-
zen. This particular citizen is said to have
been a German subject until 1888, when
he came to Cook county, Illinois, and, in
due course of time and process of law, be-
came a naturalized citizen of the United
States. Returning to Germany for visit
recently, he was seized by the authori-
ties and impressed into the army. Copies
of his naturalization papers were sent to
his relief, but as these papers enormously
gave his name as Shuader, while his real
name is Schweder, the Germans refused to
recognize the claim.
And SO it transpires that Secretary Olney

cheap gas and the overthrow of the present
monopoly. He said If in order to secure
these blessings it becomes necessary to tear
up the streets of Washington. let them be
torn up. This declaration was GREETED with
general applause from the members on the
floor.
Mr.. Dockery said IL the proviso authoriz-
there was not a peg remaining upon which
to hang a chance of success in the Senate
or in conference. He referred to the in
functions pending in the courts to give a
monopoly to the United States Electric
Light Company. He did not care whether
the monopoly sought to be perpetuated was
gas or electricity. he did not believe the
members of the House would refuse the
demands of the citizens of Washington to
be freed from such monopOlies. He was
again generously appIauded.
VA. Stone ex pressed himself in favor Of
cheap gas, but inclined to the belief that
it might be better to wait until the Dis
trict Committee can report some of the
bills now under consideration by them.
Mr.. Hepburn said 1t was in the power Of
Congress to control the existing monopoly.
He regarded it as better to manage one
monopoly than two. He said the present
company would accept any rate Congress
saw fit to fix.
Pending further discussion the committee
rose and the debate was deferred until to-
day.
