DENY THE REQUEST.
Water Main Assessments Levied Ac-
cOrdinE to Law.

Water Main Assessments Levied Ac-
cOrdinE to Law.
On behalf of ]. w. Reisner and others
Attorneys Birney & Woodland recently re-
quested the District Commissioners to can
Gel water main assessments against certain
property fronting on Hardwood avenue be-
tween Florida avenue and Elm street, lie
Droit Park. The Commissioners, upon the
report of the water register. Mr.. George T.
Green have denied the request.
From Mr.. Green's report 1t appears that
a water main was laid In Hardwood avenue
in front of the property In question by
Messrs. Barber and Langdon when they
We're the owners Of LIE Droit Park. May
q, 1878, an agreement was entered into by
them and Thomas c. Cox. water registrar,
in which the former coded all mains laid
by them in the park to the District, with
the understanding that no assessments
should be levied for the mains. The District,
states Mr.. Green. has religiously abstained
from assessing for mains laid by Messrs.
Barber and Langdon. but he says the agree
ment mentioned by him did not provide that
the District would thereafter make no
charge for water main against the property
abutting.
The Barber and Langdon main being
found Inadequate. the District laid six
inch mains on both sides Of HARDWOOD ave-
nue. February 20. 1850, and assessments
were levied therefor March 10 following.
in all respects under existing law, explains
Mr. Green.
1.-The point raised" says Mr.. Green, that
the cession of these mains has enabled the
District to collect large sums for water
rent is not well taken, insomuch the
amounts paid were for a commodity fur
nished to the consumers by the District.
which payments have no connection with
water main taxes.

Spanish swindler. Again Active.

United States Vice Consul Reed, at
Madrid. Spain, has brought to the atten-
ton of the State Department a clever and
ingenious swindle which has been attempted
upon various persons in this country by
certain Spanish schemers. The usual
mythical fortune and blood relationship
figure in the scheme. During the past
year, the consul says, parties have gone
from Boston and New York all the way to
Madrid. only to find themselves vtctimfzed.
The consul has been besieged Of late by In
quiries from the recipients Of the letters,
asking some information about the signers
of the communications. He has endeav-
ored to answer them ALL but in view of the
growth of the swindler's overtures he finds
the task becoming great. Steps probably
will be taken to hunt down the offenders
and mete out proper punishment.

washington Letter.

The Republicans have practically
abandoned all issues except that Of
prosperity. That the times are
more prosperous than they were
during the panic of 1893, the panic
of 1873, or any other panic is un-
doubtedly true. But they are not
as prosperous as during other
periods of prosperity and the new
policy which the Republicans de-
clare has created for the first time a
large foreign trade has failed to
create as large a foreign trade as
we had twenty years ago. Accord.
Ing to the statistical abstract issue
by the Treasury department the
foreign trade of 1897, 1898 and
1899 amounted to $74 %. Accord
ing to the same publication our for
eign trade for the three years 1870
1880 and 1881 S. N al4.lted to So So rs
Dur foreign trade was, therefore,
more than ten per cent. greater
twenty years ago than 1t is now.
A great deal has been said about
our exports they were $I7.23 per
capita In 1881 and only $14.I7 per
capita under the Mckinley admin
isiration in 1897. They have
never reached the point under the
Mckinley administration that they
did under the Arthur administers
ton.
/ want to call the attention of the
people of West Virginia to fnan-
cial history that they will we'll re-
member, During 1887 and 1883
there was speculative fever in
real estate. There was over forty
million dollars In capital represent
ed In land companies in the Sben.
andoah Valley alone. There was
over five thousand million dollars
In similar companies throughout
the United States. Mills were
built everywhere. Mammoth hotels
were constructed. Railroad lines
were built. 1t looked like the mil.
lennium of prosperity. The crash Of
that real estate boom ruined hun.
dreds of thousands of people. We
are having the same kind of a
period of over capitalization and
reckless expenditure at the present
time except that the instrument
then was In real estate and Is now
IN corporate stocks. Which is more
safe? Is real estate less reliable
than the stock of corporations? We
are having an industrial boom no,
based upon new demands, but up
on speculation purely just as the
real estate boom of twelve years age
was based Our immense foreign
trade that Is so boosted of by the
Republican newspapers and orators
is less than 1t was twenty years age
and the average OF the past five
years Is less thon the average Of
any five years during the past forty
years excep- the years from 1873 te
1873. The investment of cash il
new manufacturing enterprises Is
less in amount by FIVE hundred
million dollars than it was In 1885,
and 1888 The capitalization Of
new companies is double what il
was then. The inf1ation Is tenfold
what 1t was then. The same re-
action Is bound TO come and Will
differ only In being much worse
than It was then. At that time the
investment was In real estate and
mineral products. Now the invest
is IN purely watered stock
