force Their Demands Upon Con-
Eress-Review of the Laws of the
District.

The meeting of the East End Citizens
Association, held last night, was at
tended by an enthusiastic gathering of
those interested in de recent progress
OF the District as {. municipality.
Mr.. c. C. Lancaster, president of the
Northwest Citizens Association, who ad-
dressed the meeting, called particular at
,tentior TO the fact that the present con-
dition OF the Districts finances required
united action on the part of all the local
citizens associations. and his suggestion
that a movement be at once started for
the purpose of uniting them into a single
bocy was approved by unanimous acclaim.
Review of District Laws.
M Lancaster, when introduced to the
association by President Ernest, referred
briefly TO the unique form of government
OF the District of Columbia, giving short
history of the events leading up to the
adoption of the present rule of the Com
missioners in 1878. He spoke OF the re-
latlon which the resident property hold
ers bear to Congress and showed how the
wants of the people and the lack of rep
resentation in the government had led TO
the formation of the citizens associations.
He compared it to the battle of the
iathers OF the Republic at Lexington and
Concord He said that the people here
were striving by peaceful means to bring
about what the revolutionsts did with
their muskets.
Having shown the function of the citi-
zens' associations, ne sought TO impress
upon his hearers the duty which lies be-
fore them in furthering the interests of
the people in the National Capital He
spoke at length OF the street extension
plans, and the method adopted by Con-
gress TO Cypress property holders.
Covert Highway Robbery
In this part of his address MIR Lancas-
ter used strong language. designating the
90 per cent arrangement of benefits and
damages as fraud, as statutory perjury on
the part of juries of condemnation, and as
covert highway robbery. He declared that
this trick OF Congress was a reputation
Of the sacred pledge of 1878. He said it
was the duty OF the citizens associations
10 stand shoulder to shoulder and root out
this source of wrong to the property in
terests in the District.
Mr.. Lancaster spoke humorously of the
United States Government spending $780,.
COO 600 in driving the Spaniards out of
Cuba ana then turning around and allow
ing the treasury of the National Capital to
fall into bankrupt condition.
