mower whstsvsr to Congress to pass any

State, nor indeed any other crimes ex-
cent such as are provided for in the 9Th
section of its Hrst article. Treason
against the United States comes un'
doubtedly among those provided for,
but that is plainly defined 10 section 9
of article 3, which says It "sbsll consist
only 10 levying war sgainst them, or
in adhering to their enemies, giving them
aid and comfort" How then can even
the murder OF every officer OF the gov
errr,ap, be construed into treason. 10
make even an assault upon the Presi-
dent, or any one in the line of success
sion to the presidency, a crime against
the United States Is therefore not only
another attempt to invade the rights OF
the States, but the fret step toward

the Constitution seeks to provide. IL

are Just as much opposed to anarchy

the assassination OF the President and
his possible SUCCESSORS should be pun
ishsble with death, but even an at
tempt TO sssasinate; but 30 should

the United States are equal before the

then can be donep Let each of the
States be requested to pass law max
ing an attempt upon the life of any
body punishable by death, and II any
State lie snarchittic enough to refuse to
do 30, let the President, and everybody
else who is unwil ing to be murdered,
stay out of that State. So called "hu-

such law as being "cruel," but In the

Mr.. J. E. Clements, acting Common
wealth Attorney OF Alexandria county
and who has sn Office In this city, says
he does not hear 80 much talk among
his people now about reannexing Alex.
sndria city and county to the District
of Columbia as be heard few years

lists would be disappointed II the terri
tory was retToceded, that is if they be.
lieve the general government would
spend much money in improving the
land on the south side of the river, for
this he Is quite certain IL would not do.
He says the government since the war
has owned Arlington estate, comprising
eleven hundred acres OF the best land In
the county and with the exception of the
cemetery and OF the four hundred acres
which were but recently set aside as an
experimental farm and on which very
little money is being spent, the rest OF
the land is In worse and more neglec.
ted condition than any other land 10
the county. Mr.. Clements argues that
il the government for over Thirty years
mas neglected TO improve the property
1t owned outright in the county, there
would be little prospect OF It's spending
any money b. improve the vast
places of the whole county. He could
nave added that when the city of Alex
sndris was 10 the District it was in a
worse condition than 1t ever was before
or since.
