OUR CORRESPONDENTS VIEWS.
Opening of The Presidential Cam- palgn, BOer Enyoys, Internal
 Revenue Taxes, Etc.

WASHINGTON, May 2j. Signs of the opening of Presidential Campaign are plentiful in both branches of Congress. Hardly a day passes without partisan wrangle. In the Senate the Bacon resolution for aCuban investigation and the Philippine bill have furnished the basis for number, and the House is in such wrangling mood that they even got up a political s.mt over tae bill to amend the eXtl1lditlon law 20 u+ to cover the case of Neely, although pl7lc- tically all the members regardless of party favored the bill itself. It is the old, old game of making political capi- tai that Senators and Representatives are now engaged in. Even the adjourn ment resolution adopted by the House was so used, the claim being made that Congress should remain in session and pass needed legislation; but no votes were cast against the resolution. "A llSuu SSCLuS lO idNt udWheu upUu the minds of the Boer envoys, who are still in Washington, where they have received courteous treatment, but no official recognition. They now say that they wish it distinctly understood that they desire to avoid any partisan dem- onstrations that may be construed to mean that their sympathies with one political party in the United States are stronger than with another. They ex- pect to visit a number of the large cities for the purpose of trying to arouse public interest in some sort of movement that will bring peace in South Africa without the extinction of the two republics.
 Representative Richardson, minority leader of the house, announced himself very positively this week as favoring the immediate repeal of the war tax on beer.
 The house committee on ways and means is to sit during the recess to grant hearings to those interested in a reduction of those internal revenue taxes imposed on account of the war with Spain.

Mr.. Early,s complaint was referred by the
Commissioners to the health department,
and Mr.. c. H. Welch. one of it's sanitary
inspectors, has reported to them that dur
ing the first week in August complaint was
made to the health officer relative to the
rank growth of weeds upon private proper
ty on either side of Madison street. An
inspection showed. states the inspector. that
the vegetation upon the public property
surrounding the square had been removed,
and that the cause of the complaint was
confined to private property. A reference
to the tax records, he says, shows that lots
3o1 to 1875, lots 273 to go and lots 2S3 and
2S4, square 1856 are assessed to Mr.. Charles
Early and Mr.. William H. Allison, and he
adds that all of these lots were overgrown
with rank vegetation.
ME- Allison being a nonresident, the in
spector states that Mr.. Early was notified
to conform to the provisions of the &C, Of
Congress approved March 1. 1899, and all
property owners coming under a like con-
sideration were likewise duly notified
