Pa ying for Strikes.
From the Bufqto Commercial

wv D"T "
In prolonged Strikes" the public pays, The
loss entailed by the strikes In Cleveland. Chi
cago and New York city has been enormous
Several months ago the strikes in Buffalo put
back building operations for at least twelve
months. Supt Brunn Of the Erie road SAYS:
Something like $4,000 vas paid out every
month at our shops. While the strike lasts il
means that thatmuch money Is lost to the COM
munity. The strikes on the other roads have a
similar effect. Before this strike began we re-
ceived an order for the construction of sos, 600
worth Of furniture cars We now have found 1t
necessary to refuse the contract and turn II
over to shops outside Of the city. That work il
lost to Buffalo"
These are facts and figures that the strikers
and the railway companies ought to fully con-
slider. Buffalo pays the bill. and is the innocent
but the most abused party.

. twill be- oreorvcd that the President who
was first IN war. first in peace and first in
the hearts Of his Countrymen IS likewise
first in respect to the number of counties
bearing his name. With the single excep-
ton Of ARTHrR, every man that ever held
the Presidential Office has been thus
honored. Mr.. ARTHUR had several cities or
towns named for him, and the absence of
his name from the list of counties is plainly
accidental. Even HAYES is there.
Now, the desire of the New MeXicans TO
compliment President MCKINLEY and at
the same time add to their local nomen-
clature a name that will always hold a
distinguished place in history, is perfectly
natural. reasonable and creditable. SO the
New Mexico Legislature passed the bill.
and Governor MIGUEL OTERo signed it.
But. as New Mexico Is q Territory. the Con-
sCress Of the United States has the power Of
vetoing its legislation. This power is not
often exercised: seldom even remembered.
Under the circumstances we must regard
as one OF tho most extraordinary measures
of the present session the bill introduced in
the Senate last Tuesday by the Hon. JAMES
X. JONES of Arkansas. the manager Of
BRYAN's last campaign against MCKINLEY:
THAT, chapter 10 Of the acts OF thu legislative
Assembly OF the Territory Of New Mexico. entitled
An act to create the county OF Mckinley and to pro.

THE CASE OF MR. WIGHT.
Coiored Citizens Protest 10 b. Pre-
scented to the President Tomorrow.

1t was stated last night at the office OF
". Calvin Chase Chairman of the COM
mittee appointed at the mass meeting OF
colored citizens. held Sunday afternoon, at
which resolutions were adopted denouncing
Commissioner Wight for his reflection upon
the Irish. Italian. and negro residents Of
the District, and calling for his removal
from office, that the resolutions will be
brought 10 the attention of the President
on Wednesday.
The Indignation expressed over the in
situation of the Commissioner by repre-
sentative citizens Of the classes named has
led to be impression that Mr.. Nights use
fulness in public Office has come TO an end.
Last week his chances of reappointmeut
were regarded as fair; today it is consid-
cred by many that he will be lucky if he
is permitted TO serve out his term.
MIR. Wight was appointed by President
Mckinley TO succeed Commissioner Trues
deli. April Il. 1897, and assumed office
on May s following. Commissioner Ross
was appointed to succeed himself at the
same time. The terms of both Commits
sioners will expire on the same day. May
next.
The politicians Of the city and those in
terested in municipal affairs are discuss
ing the availability of candidates 10 sue
coed Commissioner Wight. Prominent
among those mentioned for the place is
Dr. William Tindall, the Secretary of the
board His friends are quietly at work
putting him forward for the appointment
and it is understood that the President
has been already informed of DR.. T.Ldalls
qualifications for the position.
Another candidate for the Commission
ership is ". Y. Cox, Chief Clerk - the
National Museum. whose friends would
like TO see him installed in Mr.. Wight 5
place. II is not claimed that Mr.. Cox
is individually seeking the place, but it
is believed that he is ready TO accept it
if the honor is rendered him.
The name of DIR. William d. Hughes
has been favOrably mentioned for the
place. Dr.. Hughes came from Ohio some
years ago and has been a res dent OF the
District. his friends say. long enough to
become familiar with its needs. Others
whose names have been brought forward
as possibilities are John w. Douglass,
Charles F. Scott and DR.. ]. E. Jones.

NO REPAIRS FOR BELL STREET
| y Decision Against the Petition of
LincoInviIIe Residents.

petition from citizens and taxpayers
residing in Lincolnville relative TO the
opening widening and grading of Bell
Street. was recently received by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The petitioners, twenty one in number.
state that they desire the Improvement
Of Bell Street from Washington Street to
Sherim's Road with the necessary bridge
across Watts Branch, and they also request
the grading and widening of Washington
Street from Lincoln Avenue to the termi-
nal of said street, and also the grading
and widening of Lincoln Avenue from
Washington Street to Central Avenue
The petition represents that Washington
Street and Lincoln Avenue are the only
outlets for lincolnyille. and that in some
places the said streets are SC narrow
that il is impossible for teams TO pass. Il
is further set forth that Bell Street is the
main thoroughfare through Lincolnville.
that the said street has been only partially
opened and is not in conformity with the
regulations OF subdivisions in the District
OF Columbia and that in some places
teams cannot pass. 1t is also declared in
the petition that Lincoln Avenue. Wash
ington Street and Bell Street have never
been kept in condition for travelling. and
that during portions OF each year they
are almost entirely abandoned
The petition was referred to II. c. New
conner. Superintendent Of Streets. who
made an investigation and reported to the
Commissioners through Morris Hacker, of
the Engineers Department. II was stated
in the report that these streets were
found in such relatively fair condition
that minor Improvement on them is not
necessary or iustihable. Their general
improvement. il was stated, would be
proper only in the event of their being
suitably widened. and while the stree.
extension plans contemplate this ulti-
mately, il is impracticable to undertake
this work at the present time. The re-
port sets forth further that the extension
of Bell Street beyond the Columbia Rail-
way is not in conformity with the street
extension plans.
Captain Beach. the Engineer Commits
sioner, has approved the recommendation
of the Superintendent of Streets and il
is understood that his associates on the
board viii concur in that opinion.
