Comparison With Previous Year.

An addition to this market Should be
made to meet the demands of increasing
business and the needs of the residents of
the northeast and southeast sections of the
city. The land adjoining the market is
owned by the District of Columbia, so that
the only expense necessary to incur is the
cost of building the addition. The Increased
receipts would justify that expenditure
and, from estimates that have been made,
would pay the expense of such addition in
full in ten or eleven years. Reference is
respectfully made to papers submitted with
a similar recommendation a year ago,

BUTTINsKI has overlooked mem tion of one franchise that his town board should grant. And that is franchise to permit the two Dromios of the alleged daily news paper to make ridiculous fools of themselves. Of course they would do it without a franchise, but that would make it legal, you know, don't you know?"

CHOICE NOT DENIED.

One of the points most strongly relied upon by the two Dromios in their propaganda for the independ- ent municipal ticket is that in the arrangement by which the regular " called conventions of both political parties united upon a single ticket there twas given no choice to the people" a point which has some weight probably with some of those supporting the independent ticket. But upon the most cursory consideration that point fails The Citizens Non Partisan Ticket is the result of regularly selected conventions from the two political parties, delegates to both elected at open primaries, without opposition. During sew eral weeks before the primaries the feasibility of such course was discussed openly and in all quar- ters. But few opposed it. Now had those opposing the plan de sired "a choice" the opportunity was presented at either primary. We're there any feeling against the plan proposed among the people it would have been a very simple matter to have put up an opposi- tion ticket at the primary of either party, and by marshalling a very slight show of force at the polls de- feated the regular ticket, captured the convention, and nominated straight party ticket, to go before the people for their suffrages, as against that emanating from the other primary, That was the fair  course.
 Why did not the two Dromios proceed in the only fair and open course that could be followed2 Probably through ignorance, but most likely through knowledge of their own inherent weakness, and lack of influence in their own party or any other Their antics in the last county election are not yet forgotten. In that they boldly showed that party or public well fare had but little consideration
