GET TOGETHER AND STICK TO.
GEThEh

The plain spd patriotic duty OF the
is to get together and stick together
regardless OF past differences of opin-
ion and factional divisions
Let bygones be bygones.
There has been altogether too much
feeling and too little reason in the
management OF Republican affairs in
the past and IL is high time for the
elimination of personal ambitions and
personal spites in order that the best
interests OF the party and The state
may be projected and promoted.

colorado's electoral vote to Theodore
Roosevelt and elect a Republican state

government In Denver at the next
election.
continuation of factional strife
will make all these most desirable re-
suits dinicult, II not impossible. and
hence an end should be put to 1t now
and forever.
Let it be borne in mind that there is
no principle or policy at stake be
tween the so-called regulars and
'antis,' The trouble springs from
the conflicting ambitions OF leaders
who are more devoted to their own
selfish interests than TO the good of
the party or the state.
Why should marplots of any brand
he permitted to keep Republican fac
iions AT war with each other instead
of fighting shoulder to shoulder
against the Democracy?
Leaders who cling TO faction should
be set aside; or better still, they
should renounce the follies of the past
and work for Republican harmony
unity and success.
Let bygones be bygones.

AS the wild birds caroled the hour
And watched the shades of the night time
Droop meath the mornings power
And as the banners Of sunrise
Flung their coors above the trees,
The burst of light charmed the bird notes
Into sweeter melodies.
The wren, the linnet and robin,
The oriole, cat bird and jay,
And all the choir Of the treetops
Spiritedly sang, and gay
And with notes unknown to mortals,
With harmonies grandly fair
AS the souls unuttered music,
They piped on the morning air.
The daybreak's freshness and grandeur,
And the songs of the happy birds,
Commingled tender beauty
That can not be told in words;
And a gladness settled oer me
That lifted me out Of the cares
That yesterday bore upon me
In the burden of affairs.

In additions tos these improvements, en-
during In character. and not to be dupli-
Gated for generations to come. the District
has by legislation been directed to con-
tribute largely Ito the new railway ter
minal and union station improvements.
No Provision by Congress.
1t is claimed by the local authorities that
all such expenditures would have been met
in any other city by a bond issue. Con-
gress has not been willing to authorize
the issue Of bonds for this purpose and
so far has made no permanent arrange
ment to enable the District to properly
carry its sharey7of the burden. For three
years past Congress has made temporary
provision from year to year for advances
from the Treasury of the United States to
the District of Columbia, to be repaid with
interest, to meet any deficiency in the Dis
trict revenues on the general account. in
GLIDING both extraordinary and current ex-
penditureS
This legislation expires July / next. and
the amount then due on the advance &C
count is to be repaid in five years from
that day Congress has made no provision
for the Districts share of the cost of the
extraordinary improvements after the first
of next July, while it is evident from ths
projects authorized that larger amounts
will be required on that account after the
date mentioned.

matter. in this unsatisfactory state, de-

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va, January %. 1904.
The owners of the 20 acres of land ad-
joining the Norfolk navy yard. which the
government desires for additional navy
yard purposes. will appeal from the deci-
sion of the jury which has just rendered
verdict fixing upon $4,000 as a just com
pensation to them for the acreage desired.
The property owners. by commission or
seven freeholders appointed by Federal
Judge Waddill last year under the laws OF
Virginia for the condemnation of land de-
sired for public purposes were given YER
dict for $4,000. The government claimed
this was excessive and that the award was
improperly made, as a United States stat
ute provides for trial of all such proceed
ings by regular jury of twelve men.
The Navy Department fought the case,
and Judge Waddill finally set the award Oh
the freehoIders aside upon the ground that
the appraisement was excessive. Inc
award of the jury now is just s97 less
than the first award. and the government
saves this much by having fought for new
trial of the case. The property owners claim
that the award Is too small, and II Judge
Waddill denies them new trial the case
will go to the United States circuit court OF
appeals upon the ground that the verdict OF
the jury was contrary to law and evidence
The county assessor testified that the
property owners are now only paying taxes

How the Island Is Divided.

Senior Bernier stated that the fighting was
constant and bloody, and that the northern
part of the republic is firmly supporting
Gen. Jimenez and hopes shortly to replace
him in the presidential chair. while the
southern part is determined to keep him
out, and the inhabitants of the city of Santo
Domingo have declared that they will stand
by President Morales and will under no
consideration permit Jimenez to assume the
presidency. The greatest suffering prevails
throughout the entire republic, and at the
time the French steamer left Puerto Plata
for San Juan on the 10Th one of the Do
minican gunboats was Smelling Cangrejo, a
few miles from Puerto Plata.
A Dominican colonel now residing in San
Juan received a letter by the French
steamer from his mother in Puerto Plata,
telling him that the greater part of the
town was destroyed by the bombardment of
the Dominican gunboat on the 4th instant;
that all letters coming into the republic are
subject to the severest censorship from the
post Office authorities, who deliver none CT
those bearing unfavorable information or
instructions, and have such persons to
whom they are addressed Immediately ar
rested, and that the greatest want and
misery prevail, as the people are actually
starving.
