Attitude Toward Germ nan A m erfcans.
One OF tho most fiagrant features In

claiming throughout the country that this

Gus part and contributed so much to the
success Of the cause Of sound money and

| Gliding their action at the Kansas City
convention and their course since then,
| is an insult to the intelligence and inteS-
rity of this important, broad minded and
| highly influential class.
The attitude of the Bryanistic party to-
ward the German-American voter was

10 tne OF Inc star:
The arguments advanced by some of the
East Washington citizens in behalf of the
Pennsylvania railroad bill at a recent meet
ing of their association were read with
much interest by many citizens of the
southeast section of the city, especially by
these owning property and living near
Garfield Park. We would be very much
pleased if Messrs. Blair and Frizzell would
inform US in what way our property would
be improved by having a railroad pass in
front of our homes-and four railroad
tracks passing diagonally through a public
park is certainly a novel way of beautifying
said park.
If this bill is passed l hope our senators
and representatives will make a special
note of this unique park decoration. and
send 1t to the city papers throughout the
United States, that less favored cities may
follow the example of progressive Washing
ton. 1t Is well TO remember that our parks
though much admired, seem very small
compared with the parks of other cities,
and are often called squares by people Wis
itinS Washington, and beautiful Garfield
Square. with a tunnel running through half
OF it. and four railroad tracks running dag
ORALLY through the other half, will be as
much of curiosity as the Capitol or Con-
gressional Library.
Would it not be well for the street cars
to run their tracks through Stanton Square,
Lincoln Park, Washington Circle. &c, as
it will be impossible at present to give
steam cars. with their smoke, cinders gas
and classical music-but wait patiently, my
friends, your turn will come next.

PROPERTY OWNERS PROTEST.
Objections to Railways Right of Way
Through n Park.

A petition was presented today to the Dis
trict Commissioners, in which protest is
entered against the provisions of the meas
TIRE recently presented to Congress, known
as the Pennsylvania railroad bill The petit
ton, signed by all those who own property
adjoining and in the vicinity of Garfield
Park. is as follows:
THE undersigned. being owners of prop
erty adjoining and in the vicinity of Gar
field Park, wish to protest against the bill
now before you for consideration. in so far
as it allows the railway the right of way
through said park.
I'VE believe it is the sentiment OF the best
people of our section and of our city that
the park system of Washington should he
extended rather than curtailed. The SOUTH
east section of the city has been given few
improvements, and ii is now proposed to
ruin the only park of any size in this sec-
ton The Capitol and library are but three
and four blocks from the different sections
of this park. More public buildings Will
soon be a necessity in this region, and the
annoyance from smoke, cinders and gas
will be a great and increasing one.
providence Hospital, a large and benefi-
cent institution, would suffer greatly from
the increased proximity of the railroad, the
noise etc
The great annoyance to which the teach
ers and pupils of the new school about to he
built fronting Garfield Park would be put,
making the nearing u IeCildAoiiS dliIioSl
impossible and the increasing popularity Of
this park for children should have great
weight.
This park should ultimately be a con-
Meeting link between the mall and the park
to be improved upon the reclamation OF the
Anacostia flats.
I'VE believe there is no shadow of ex-
cuse for the demand Of the railway COM
pany that they be allowed to use this park.
In other cities the engineering difficulties
have been overcome. and may be so here.
Our parks have been set aside for the
use and pleasu of our people in perpetu-
ity and should be held sacred for that pur-
pose This park in particular. being named
in honor of martyred president, should
be kept inviolate to his memory.
THE railroad yards in this section have
long been a great annoyance, both to cur
citizens and visitors to our city who board
on New Jersey avenue south, and contigu-
Gus streets and if, as is now proposed, the
railroad be given the only park in the sec
ton for their use, with all the resulting an
noyance to all citizens, it will be an action
much to be deplored, and We call upon you
to use your best influence against this prop
osition.''
