Former Representative Trigg Is a daily
visitor at the Capitol. He represented the
Ninth Congressional district of Virginia in
the Forty-ninth Congress. He is counsel
for the William r. Trigg Ship Company.
Of Richmond which is building for the
Government three torpedo boats. two tor
pedo destrOyers, and one cruiser. Mr..
Trigg says he is glad TO be out of politics,
notwithstanding that there is nothing 30
fascinating as the political game. In Mr..
Trigg's opinion il will be but a few years
when the United States will have the most
powerful navy afiOat.

While the statue OF General Grant was
being placed near the western entrance 10
the rotunda OF the Capitol the
other day many remarks were
made in regard to the par
ticulag time In the life OF the great soldier
when he looked as he is represented by the
statue. One old soldier declared that TIE
figure reproduced in marble is d speaking
likeness OF General Grant as he looked at
the close of the civil war. and it is under
stood that it was this period in his life
that the sculptor regarded as the one at
which the general was best known To the
donors of the statue, the Grand Army OF the
ReuubliC.

but does not rush into debate.
Senator Hanna gives spectators in the
gallery the impression of being an ex-
traordinarily hard worker. A page hands
the Ohio Senator a letter. He is half
reclining in his chair. listlessly listen
ing to the mOnotony of bills. petitions
resolutions, and memorials. He sees the
letter. He does not stretch forth his
hand lazily, and chat with a neighbor
while carelessly opening the missive, as
a majority of the Senators do He
clutches the letter with his chubby fist
and proceeds to tear it apart very much
as though he would like to have a can
opener with which to do the work, and
as though he were positive the letter
contained information of some domestic
tragedy. Then he grabs his eyeglasses
and adjusts them with a rush. He bends
down over the letter his head heaves
from side to side as his eyes follow the
written lines his face becomes inf1amed.
and the veins seem to stand out on his
temples. When he has ceased reading.
he hurries the letter back into the en-
velope, mussing and crumpling it as he
does SO, shoyes it far down in an inner
pocket, tears off his glasses, leans back
in his chair, and is again at rest.

Now wsat has caused our assessed
values to depreciate A per cent. during
tae same period Of time within which
those of Alexandria county were ap-
preciating 1873 per cent?
Has there been any appreciation 10
Alexandria business enterprise during
the years 1859?
But admitting, for the sake of a.
gument, that the 'cruel war" was
the cause of our undoing; that "Balti-
more never expended one cent on
streets iu order to attract CUSTOM" that
"Washiugton's streets were not i'm
proved In order to attract trade;" still,
the only way to build up our com.
munity is to induce enterprise and
thrift to come iD, dwell amongst, and
aid us. How can we best accomplish
that result? Where enterprise locates
the factory there also must 1t locate
the home. Will it select community
whose boast Is that in forty years "no
one moved that we borrow money to
beautify our streets?" Yours truly,

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF undl-
gested food, regulate the sctioa OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that 10 oil
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses OF Green's

YOU satisfied there is nothing serious

MR.. BAYNE'S REPLY.
Alexandria, Va, April %, 1900

Vo't AAP'h NAI A"OO
To the Editor of the alexandria Gazette:
Dear Sir:--Our well known and hieh-
ly esteem, fellow-townsman, F. V. r.,
in his interesting and entertaining arti-
Gle in Saturdays Gazette, questions the
conclusion that the depreciation in our
real estate values is due to the condition
of our streets.
For forty years we have ably, ener-
gelicslly, persistently and consistently
followed 10 the footsteps Of our forefath-
els; we have elected our best financiers
to The City Council land yet no one
moved that we borrow money to bsauti-
fy our streets." Today we find that the
assessed value of our real estate has ap-
psrently sunksn AZ per cent. within the
last five years; or, u safe 1t in other
worCs, that the apparent depreciation 10
he capital of the community has teen
sufficient to actually pay for ntarly five
miles of new modern pavement; or,
again, that the revenue Of our city de-
rived from its tax upon real property
has been actually reduced about $1,000
from what it was in 1896 "a Gum nearly
sufficient to psy the annual interest up
on 500, 900 worth OF bonds, had We pre-
ferred to issue such bonds for the pur-
p)se OF improving our condition.
Our more eDterprisiOg and enegetic
ueighbors out in Alexandria county
have succeeded during the same five
years in increasing the assessed value
Of their holdings 1873 per cent, The
increase in the value OF buildings being
1913 per cent; and that OF the land 1872
