REQUIRES Special Legislation,

The District Commissioners arly last
January received from persons interested a
request that Washington street, Anacostia,
from Taylor street to the next street east
be improved. They were informed that the
work of opening and improving the ~treet
would have to be the subject of a special
appropriation, and that it's relative i'm
portance, as compared with other work al
ready recommended and which it you'd
disp,ace If pressed, WAS such that the Sc
curing of special legislation seemed the
only justifiable course.
Mr.. w w. Scaggs Of 414 Washington
street, Anacostia, called the attention of
the Commissioners to the matter, stating
that number of persons desired to build.
but that until the street is cut through it
will be almost impossible. Therefore, he
prayed that it be graded and sidewalk laid
thereon. The Commissioners. owever,
have concluded to adhere to the position
taken by them when the matter was first
brought to their attention, and Mr.. Scaggs
will be SO Informed.

AT MIR. sTEvENsON's HOME.
Heard the Returns Surrounded by
Many Friends.

Mr. Stevenson the democratic candidate
for Vice President, received the returns last
evening with a number of his friends at his
home at Bloomington, Ill. A number of
his personal friends and neIghbors called
upon him, and the telephone in his hall was
kept busy. Mr.. Stevenson declined the Of
fer of the telegraph people to put wires in
lis home for the reception of election re-
turns, but arrangements were made for
sending reports to the house by long-dis-
lance telephone and by district messenger
boys from the telegraph offices.
Just after tea, when the first bulletins
were due members of Mr.. Stevenson's fam
lily and other friends began to drop in, and
the number increased until there were TWEEN
ty- five or thirty in the res 'dence.
Mr. Stevenson seemed deeply interested,
but displayed no nervousness or uneasi
ness and chatted as nonclfa antly as II he
had no personal interest at stake.
MIR Stevenson, although he was the prin-
cipal speaker at rousing wind-up OF the
campaign, and was up late Monday night,
was at work in his library by s o'clock
yesterday morning, and was in fine spir' Is
and evidently suffering % exhaustion from
the campaign. i
Lewis G. Stevenson, the vice presidential
candidate set out for the polls Of the first
precinct, in which the Stevenson home Is
located. ~.

Father and son walked leisurely down town
to the polls, eight or nine blocks distant.
There were few on the streets. but those
few cordially saluted the Stevensons
At the polling place Mr.. Stevenson opened
the poll book hanging by the door and found
that his name was No. IN the list of
names beginning with S.
He stepped into the little room. nearly
filed with clerks, Judges and voters and
the paraphernalia of the Australian sys-
tenn. Mr.. Stevenson was an old personal
friend of nearly every one In the room. and
the greetings were cordial. but exceedingly
brief No reference to election or politics
was exchanged.
Mr.. Stevenson asked for ballot and was
handed one, also ticket on which to vote
| for or against the issue Of 100000 OF
| bonds to pay for the new court house. He
| stepped behind the railing and into one OF
| the curtained closets. He must have voted
| a straight ticket, for he was behind the
curtain only long enough to put a cross
in the circle at the head of the ballot.
The citizens duty thus performed. Mr.
Stevenson and several friends spent few
| moments in conversation. and then returned
| to his residence, where he remained all day

Complains of the Ashman.

Mr.. w. H. Green, assistant general man.
ager of the Southern Railway Company. re-
Gently complained to the District Commits
sioners that the collector of ashes had
driven into his yard and demolished the
gate. stating that he supposed he only had
to present the bill to them for payment.
The matter was referred to the street clean
ing department. the head of which inform
ed Mr.. Green that his communication had
heen referred to the contractor. Mr.. r. v.
Rusk, one of whose wagons, apparently.
caused the damage
Mr.. Green has again written the Com.
missioners, stating that he supposes that
the reference Of his complaint to the con-
tractor winds up the matter 50 far as the
District is concerned, and leaves him with
out any satisfaction whatever regarding the
damage to his property. He, however, ex.
presses the hope that hereafter he will be
permitted to handle the ashes himself.

Finished the Unfinished BUSH

FrOr The Fhiladelphla IuFII' IEI.'f
The democrats make the free silver cam
paign of 1896 the campaign of 1900 under
the head of unfinished business. In his let
ter o. acceptance Mr.. Bryan put Imperial
ism to the front as the paramount issue,
and throughout his remarkable speechmaA-
ing ca1npaign. especially in the east. he
either ignored or evaded the silver issue.
He was less frank less honest than Mr.
TCwnc who detianty declared that the is
sue of this year made by the democrats
was the reaffirmation of the Chicago plat
form.
To the finishing of that business. and
to the finishing of 1t right, the people yes
terilay devoted themselves in good con-
science with Intelligent zeal and patriotic
fervor. They finished it for once and for
all by giving the victory to the candidates
of the republican party. Their conduct at
the polls was inspired by common sense
and honesty.

Congratulations All Round.
[rror, rho New York Herald.

The country Is to be congratulated on the
vitality important fact that there Is TO De
henceforth no question as to the STABILITY
of the standard on which its mighty mer-
camille industrial and commercial transac-
lions are based and by which the wages OF
labor are adjusted. After thirty years OF
disturbance and doubt that fact Is settled.
Not less hearty are our congratulations TO
the great democratic party on the over
throw of the faction which four and half
years ago stole it's standards under which
to fight for purposes Numerically opposed
to true democratic principles.

1t was battle royal from start to finish,
but, despite the intensity with which 1t
was waged, patriotic men of all Larties
will accept the result as the deliberate YER
dict of a majority Of the American peo-
pie.
That ill-judged and unnecessary declara-
ton for free coinage has cost Mr.. Bryan
the presidency. Mr. Mckinley has been
reelected not because a majority OF the
people indorse his administration, but be-
cause they were afraid, without under
standing the situation, that Mr.. Bryan, II
President, would disturb the financial sys-
tenn of the country.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The contest in 1904, the first presidential
election of the century, resulted in the
choice of Thomas jefferson for his second

Mckinley, but we are well persuaded that
the majority of the people of the United
States are right in 1850 as they were in
1904.

Will Not Trust Bryan.

t TUUl II' New
No man within without this Union will
soon again venture to raise the question
whether the American people are sane and
honest Mr.. Bryan upon two occa sions has
aUGaciOusly challenged both propositions,
and the people have with great emphasis
twice demonstrated to him the error of his
view of the matter. The sober first and
second thought of the country is that 1t
cannot and will not trust Bryan. Twice re-
pudated and rejected, he will not again
have the hardihood or the power to insult
us with his pretensions. Bryan and Bryan
ism have passed into history. We have re-
newed our vote Of confidence in the faithful
servants of the people who have proved
themselves SO well deserving Of trust by
the ability and wisdom with which they
have conducted the important public bust
ness of the nation.

Paramount Issues Defeated, Not Bryan
From the New York Journal.

Beyond doubt Mr.. Bryan would have
been triumphantly elected but for two
things The first was the intrusion of the
silver issue. Free silver was dead, and so
unpopular that even its corpse was enough
to drag any man down to defeat. The sec
ond was the policy of cutting loose entirely
from the Philippines. That was not in ac-
cord with the spirit of the American peo-
Pile The attempted revival of free silver
and the proposed abandonment of territory
that was already American soil were fatal
mistakes, which have cost us this election.
Mr. Bryan could have been elected by such
a majority no President since Grant has
ever had If the two CXtrane3uS issues OF
free silver and the abandonment of the
Philippines had not boen nccdlessly dragged
INTO the -camDaign.

The Nation May Well Rejoice.
From the New York Tribune.
1t is national victory. The nation in all
its parts may well rejoice. Its credit is Sc
cure. Its judiciary will remain free Its
people will not be sundered into hating and
hateful classes Its flag will not be drag
ged down in dishonor The propaganda of
greed, of hatred, of violence and of coward
ice will not prevail. 1t is day for earnest
resolves to complete and to perpetuate the
work so we'll performed, and to make the
nation In the ordering of its affairs hence
forth worthy of its splendid past and of
the splendid promise of its achievement In
this national victory.
Endorsement and Approval.
From the New York Sun
No process of reasoning can make of this
magnificent victory anything else than an
Endorsement and approval of the adminis-
tration of President Mckinley.
Bryan Himself the Cause.
From the Richmond Times.
The first defeat might have been attributed
to any one Of a number Of causes but the
second defeat leaves no room for doubt It
Is demonstrated beyond all peradventure
that the moving cause Of the overwhelming
defeat Of 1900 is to be found not in the
platform Of the democratic party, not in
its record or its promises, but simply and
solely in the personality Of william ].
Bryan. What there is Of popuiism and re-
publicanism in the democratic party today
comes from his alliance with those Of alien
faith. What the people feared was not the
platform and principles Of democracy, but
tho personality and leadership Of William
]. Bryan.

A Delicate Subject.

A johnson City housewife, who does
her own shopping and is close OBJ
server, writes her troubles to THE
COMET that others may be benefited;
EDITOR COMET. Praise be to thee
for thou alone can help us, in this our
dire extremity.
AS l desire a few words to the retail
merchants of this, our beloved village,
and the best available medium there
fore are the columns of our beloved
COMET.
My subject is a delicate one, there
fore I must earnestly beseech your
charitable consideration. You know it
has become quite a thing for all our re-
tail grocerymen to make display Of
their vegetables on the pavements out
side of their establishments. To this
we do not object but you know that
there are some very tall dogs.
Now, Mr.. Editor, undoubtedly you
have a comprehensive idea of what |
am DESTROYS of saying, and if you will
help me out, you will certainly do the
public great favor. What is needed
is to have the vegetables put in or on
boxes or shelves above the high water
mark. For the good of women in par
ticular, and mankind in general, the
grocers will please attend to this mat
ter at once. Those wire screens they
use over baskets are not water tight.
This is a delicate subject, as already
said, but you know when a lady goes to
store for cabbage and beets she does
not like to be obliged to purchase
watermelons and peas also.
