We celebrate today the adoption of what
the Supreme Court of the United States
has called 1.-The constitution of the District
of Columbia" the organic act to provide,
as its title says, "a permanent form Of
government" the act of Congress of June
IL, 1873. 1t is evident that in the minds
of the men in Congress and the temporary
Commissioners, who helped to frame the
organic act, three ideas were prominent:
First, the acceptance of the principle that
the national government should pay half OF
the expenses of the national capital and
| the District taxpayers the rest; second, that
| suffrage should be abolished, partly through
| the general desire of the taxpayers who
| had suffered because of the evils of partisan
| politics in municipal affairs, partly through
| the unwillingness of Congress to subject
| the United States to taxation and appro-
| priation by District voters, and, third, the
provision of non-partisan government
| by an executive commission of three, two
| of whom should specially represent the
people of Washington, not having for three
