THIS FIGHT ON THE TRUSTS.

1t was stated several days ago that Hon

Secretary Of the Navy, who also came
very near being elected a Governor once,

extremely important, and as Judge Goff
was a very fearless and able man, the

DISTRICT MEASURES.
Two of Them Introduced in the

Representative Pearson has introduced
the following bill, which has been referred
to the Committee on the District OF Co.

The House has received from the Com

attent. on to the matter o fthe most judiclouS

beyond Florida avenue. After a considera-
ton OF several locations, regard being had
TO resulting grades, existing public and

crossing, public convenience, etc, a loca-
| ton, approXimatiHg the adopted and
rec ortied one, was selected for Comparison
/ with a straight location. Public hearing
was had on the subject and the matter
discussed at various times during several
months, and as conclusion, the recorded
: extension was adopted. The Commissioners
adiudged that this extension of the avenue

deemed advisable and practicable and

ECONOMY THE wATCHwoRD.

number Of the messages of new gov
ernors, as 1t may now be observed, have
emphasized strongly the need of economy
in the administration OF State affairs
all over the Country. These chief executives
have doubtless not only been impressed
by the need OF an economic administration
OF affairs, so far as their own inquiries
have been able to guide tLcru, but also
they must have thought it popular to
follow this general course. The people
! of ali these States have, indeed, had a

the passage of the measure to import

The Democratic and silver Senators are
adhering strictly to their declared pur-
pose OF defeating The confirmation of all
gold Democrats named by Cleveland, to
succeed silver men who were removed be-
cause of loyalty To- Bryan. There is no
doubt that all such nominations will either
be rejected or will fail of confirmation.
The most shining mark that has been Sc
lected is William s. Forman, Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue. He was the gold
Democratic candidate fer governor of
Illinois, and is said by the silver Senators
to expect by way OF reward, to be retained
in office by Major Mckinley. The silver
Democrats intend to hang his nomination
up so securely that IL he desires to receive
that kind Of compensation for his services
he must appeal to the Republican Presi-
dent for reappointment. The silver men
figure that it will not be nearly as easy
for Mckinley to appoint gold Democrats to
office as it would be to permit them to
