Anacostia and Vicinity.

There is reason to believe that a change
is contemplated in the method of operating
the cars of the Anacostia electric road. 1t
is understood to be the intention of the
company to operate a number of cars as
a special line between Congress Heights
and the end of the trolley system, at the
north end of the Anacostia bridge, where
transfer will, it is stated. be made to the
underground system, over which will run
the new cars of the company. 1t is said
the objection to operating the heavy ears
over the Anacostia bridge is responsible for
the change indicated.

WRIT OUT FOR FRANCIS
OBJECT rs TO LIFT ATTACH
MENTs FROM PROPERTY.
Defendant in Alleged Storey Cotton
Company Conspiracy in Jail in
Default of Bail.

PHILADELPHIA, April 3.-Counsel for
Stanley Francis, who is in the county prison
in default of $4,000 ball. charged with con-
spiracy in connection with the Storey Cot
ton Company, today prepared a petition for
writ of habeas corpus. The petition was
sent to Francis for his signature and will
probably be presented to Judge Mcpherson
In the United States district court tomor-
row. The attorney for Francis today held
conference with United States District At
torney Thompson, and the latter consented
to allow transcript of the testimony Of
fered at the hearing last Friday at the ha-
beas corpus proceedings.
At the same time the petition for writ of
habeas corpus is filed an order will be asked
upon j. Hector McNeal, receiver of the
Provident Investment Bureau and also for
Francis interest, to show cause why he
should not be restrained from acting in that
capacity for Francis
The object of this move is to have the at
tachments lifted from all property belong
ing to Francis, so as to make it possible to
secure bail for the prisoner. 1t is also pro-
posed to compel the receiver to show In
what manner Francis is connected with the
Provident Investment Bureau.

SEWER CONSTRUCTION
ISSUE BETWEEN TAKoMA PARK,
MD, AND THE DISTRICT.

The Commissioners today requested an
opinion from Corporation Counsel Duvali
relative to certain points involved in the
proposed agreements between the municipal
corporation of Takoma Park Nd, and the
District of Columbia providing for the con-
structon of sewer and for reciprocal
sewer facilities between the two municipali-
ties.
The sewer appropriation act for 1904 car
ried an item of $50 for the construction of
a sewer to serve the dwelling houses on
Magnolia avenue between Oak and Chestnut
avenues and on Oak avenue between Car
roll avenue and the District line. This
sewer. it was stipulated, should be con-
nected with the sewerage system of Ia
koma Park, the location of the houses on
Magnolia avenue, it is stated being such
that connections could not be made advan-
tageously with the District system
Mayor kinnear of Takoma Park recently
submitted to the Commissioners two agree
mentS One provides that upon payment
by the District of $50 the town of Takoma
Park will build the sewer to serve the
houses on Magnolia and Oak avenues. The
other proposed agreement provides that the
District may use the sewer system of Ia
koma Park for not exceeding fifteen houses
on Magnolia avenue upon paying an annual
rental of $40 for each house connected, pro-
vided that the District will permit Takoma
n
the same terms.
superintendent McComb's Suggestion.
Superintendent d. E. McComb called at
tention to the stipulation in the agreement
binding the Commissioners to pay $40
year for each dwelling connected He men
toned that there is no appropriation for
this purpose and doubted their authority to
do so.
Engineer Commissioner Biddle invited at
tention to the fact that the agreement as
worded would authorize any number of
houses in Takoma Park to be severed into
the District system upon the payment of
$lo year for each dwelling. In reporting
on this reference Superintendent McComb
suggested that the agreement should stipu-
late that not more than fifteen houses in
Takoma Park should be connected with the
District system.
such an agreement as is proposed by the
Iakoma Park officials congressional action
VIII be necessary. A proposition that the
District pay an annual rental for the use
OF the Takoma Park sewer system was sub
mltted to Congress, so it is stated when the
appropriation of $50 for building the sewer
was under consideration, but Congress at
that time declined to authorize it, 1t is
stated however, that the proposition did
not provide for reciprocal sewer facilities
between the two nun; cipalities
The corporation counsel will be asked to
decide the various points involved in the
consideration of the question.

revolutions were frequent These in.
stances are cited to show the uncer.
tainty Of politics and to demonstrate
that the people Of the United States
not infrequently take the bit in their
teeth and run away with the political
wagon.
In all the cases cited above one ia.
miliar with our history may discern
the causes of the revolutions. They
are not far to seek There is nothing
mysterious about them. OF course Re.
publican enthusiasts hope and faint
hearted Democrats fear that the Re.
publican are in for all time, yet moth
ing in the future is more certain
than their getting severe trouncing
two years hence, and again in four
years, unless they are on their good
behavior They may get it anyway
They have made such preposterous
claims, charges and promises that they
cannot by any possibility make them
good, and for the failure to do so the
people may punish them, and justly,
too, even if times remain good. That
the opposition to Republican ideas and
methods will be organized, and thor.
oughly organized, for future contests
may be taken for granted. That the
size Of their victory will render Re.
publicans careless, not to say reckless,
may also be taken for granted. Con.
saquently, considering the situation in
all it's bearings, there is no reason WHY
Democrats should not take heart,
buckle on their armor and win new
victories.

As to the New York Republicans.

1t looks as though President Roose-
welt will be forced by the great land
slide/to complete realization of Abra-
ham Lincoln's lament rs to the super
abundance of pigs and the woeful
scarcity of teats. The freshest news
from Washington is that he is using
his utmost endeavOr in harmonizing
conflicting claims among New York
Republicans in such a way as to please
them all, Il thing impossible unless he
could give every New York Republican
a good fat office, which he cannot do.
Black wants Depew's senatorial toga,
and Depew wants to keep it. He thinks
that it is good thing to have in the
family. So some of the newspaper
peacemakers are suggesting that Black
be taken into the cabinet and that
the senate; but, all Of sudden, they
remember that Mr.. Cortelyou is book
ed for the cabinet, and they doubt If
the president desires two New Workers
in his official family, Notwithstanding
the fact that he has Grover Cleveland's
example before him as to New Workers
and that he has two Hawkeye states
men in his cabinet now. Consequently
the newspaper peacemakers do another
stunt, landing Governor Black in the
senate and Senator Depew at the court
Of Versailles. Then they wake up to
the unpleasant fact that in order to do
that another New York Republican big
wig, General Horace Porter, would
lose a Job which is very much to his
liking. So they are still up in the air.
In the meantime they seem to forget
that one Governor Benjamin B. Odell,
chairman Of the state committee and
aspirant to succeed Colonel Roosevelt
in the White House, will have much to
say as to what shall and shall not hap

"a Crank In Clover"

Toward the end Of the campaign the
70 Washington Post, under the above
4. option, published the following won.
N W.fditorial:
~ R,e:mly believe that our old friend
:. y q 2orgia, the Hon. Tom Watson.
Eee, hunoot change places with Andrew
"a, or John D. Rockefeller at this
n ouIH Wealth is not expressed In
sJldid.one. Wealth is the qualification OF
the particular desire or ambition which
dominates the individual in the case. Car.
negie and Rockefeller wanted money, and
they got 1t. They are wealthy according
to their standard. But Tom Watson does
not care for money or the kind of power
that goes with 1t. He would not give a
hurrah for all the dollars in the world II
the possession thereof required him to
keep quiet and Turk in places hidden from
the sight of man. He has all the money
he needs for his simple wants. The price
of handme-down suit once a year. a
wool hat. change of shoes and half a
dozen open back shirts Of the ninety Eight
cent brand make up the sum of his neces-
sites. He does not envy the millionaire
his fine raiment his automobile. his yacht
and his terrapin and champagne. What
he does want, and what is more precious
In his eyes than diamonds. emeralds and
rubies, Is notoriety. and that Is what he
has achieved at last.
Tom Watson Is the richest and the hap
piest man in the whole world today. His
name In on the tongues of all. He speaks
to cheering thousands, and his addresses
are telegraphed all over the country. Edi-
tors gravely discuss him; reporters hang
upon his lightest word. His comings and
goings are matters of almost breathless
interest to the newspapers. Even in the
heyday of their glory the Siamese twins.
Blind Tom, the bearded lady and the au-
tomaton chess player were as nothing to
him. Carrie Nation at her worst would
hardly have made a side show for the
circus he is now operating. Wherever he
goes vast crowds assemble. When he
harangues them the red faced multitudes
explode with rapture. Committees wait
for him; rabbles turn out as II by magic
on all hands. And. Joy of Joys. the pa
pers tell him that he is doing harm to
some one every time he shrieks. Inter-
viewers ask with bated breath whether he
intends to make Roosevelt or Parker the
victim of his thunder Commentators SOL
EMMY discuss the possibilities of the Pop
ulist crusade. He is the star performer
of the campaign, the one real flash Of
gayety and color against an otherwise
somber and depressing sky. He lives in
a Golconda of his own. He battles in a
Pactolus more wonderful than Midas ever
knew.
Is it conceivable that any Croesus Of
this or any other age was ever half as
blest as Tom Watson is today? Mo-
much.
