Taxation without Representation
Is Still Tyranny In A. d. 1886.
THURSDAY next, December is,

Is Still Tyranny In A. ID. 1885.
THURSDAY next, December 16.
is the 1886 anniversary
Of the Boston Tea Party. This Is
a day deserving to be fittingly OBJ
served by every loyal voteless and
unrepresented American Of the
District of Columbia. For years
The Star has called attention to
the day because of the deadly
parallel to the conditions existing
here and now with those which
produced that dramatic incident In
history so thrilling to every school
boy and girl.
Our grievance in Washington,
D. c., in the year 1896 Is just as
real as the grievance of the coll
onists in l773. 1t is really greater
and more provoking when we re-
call that 1t was against just such
q condition that our ancestors
fought.
Our reminders Of this anniver.
sary in the past have come along
while Congress was in session and
some Of these modern successors
to the founding fathers were much
provoked at being thus reminded
that here at the heart Of the great
republic there still exists taxation
without representation and with
the sanction Of Congress. Some
might raise a question against lay
ing the blame on Congress on the
ground that the present members
only inherited this condition. The
fact remains that though our citi-
zens have for years earnestly Pc
titioned for relief from this tyr
amy, Congress has ignored their
prayers.
Any associations which would
like to observe the 163rd anniver-
sary of the Boston Tea Party are
invited to write to The Citizens
Joint Committee on National Rep
resentation for the District, Room
425. Star Building. and obtain the
story Of the tea party for reading
at their meetings.

 PHILADELPHIA, June 25, - The walkout of South Carolina's senator Ellison D. Smith, from the convention here when a neg TO offered the invocation, was in terpreted by the minister as simply an indication that Broth CT Smith needs more prayer.
 Smith said he would walk out whenever a negro has part in the proceedings.
 Reverend Marshall Sheppard who offered the invocation com mented: If that's the way he feels, I don't see what he can dc about it. If he goes to the Re publican party he'll find negroes and if he goes to the Socialists a party without negroes he will find them in even more import ant parts. If he is looking for party without negroes he vii have to form his own in South Carolina.

 Solomon accused City Attorney Sullivan of acting against him with prejudice, and asked several of his witnesses if they though, he was, and they sad they thought so. The city attorney said he didn't care what the wit nesses thought about his motive in bringing these charges, that he was city attorney in Nome & was doing his duty as he saw 1t, declaring that if more complaints and evidence came into his hands again, he would continue to bring the situation to the atten- ton of the council.

Cochran cited the regulations and stated he could see no evidence against the Arc tic Beer Parlor that it had served a drunken man any drinks, which an action would have been an in fraction of the law and would be used as evidence for the revoca- tion of the license.
 
 The council was recessed for ten minutes while the councilmen re- tired to discuss and prepare to vote on the question of approval or disapproval of the license for the Arctic Beer Parlor.
 Upon their return the mayor asked for the personal opinion of each councilman and how he was going to vote. Chas.
