A SUIT INVOLVING A LARGE TRACT OF LANDIS, SOUTH WASHINGTON. Yesterday Arsenius I. Harvey filed a bill ‘against the District setting up a claim to all that section of the city “lying between the southerly line of Maryland avenue west and the west line of 13% street south and the Poto- macriver.” He claims that all “this land is made land, caused by the filling up of low land formerly covered with water.” He insists that this land has been in possession of Lis family since 1793, and alleges that his father had a brick building on the corner of Maryland ave- nue and 13% street, and that a wall was built extending partially toward the river, and from the terminus of the wall to the river shore a complete inciosure was had by a line of cord rook, ton feet high, which was permanently kept in said positiot He asks an injunction, &e., to restrain the Commissioners trom inter- tering with this lai se It Should be “Tenley.” To the Editor of Tk LVENINGSTAR: Permit me to correct an error in the item in your yesterday's issue with reference to “the spelling of the word Tenleytown.” The tion alluded to was not signed by me “ twenty-eight other citizens,” but by thealmost entire adult male population of ‘renleytown, ‘only two of those who were interviewed refus- ing thelr names. ‘The petition was circulated at the suggestion of a P.

CHARLES M, TENLEY. November 17th, ——— Suing Madame Musard’s Nephew. A YOUNG WOMAN CLAIMS $15,000 FOR BREACH OF PROMISE. The New York Tribune of yesterday says: ‘The rumor spread through Rockland county yesterday that William A.Blakeney,aged 27, of Piermont, has been sued for breach of promise of marriage, the damages being set at $15,000. ‘The complainant in the case is only nineteen years old, She is Miss Ella Nora Hering, now of Nyack, recently of Piermont, ang before that. ot Mont Vale. Bergen county, N. J. Miss Her- ing went to Nyack about @ month ago and iow lives with Mrs. Frank Storms, a married cousin, Few young men are better known than Mr, Blankeney, whois a nephew of Madame Musard, who long graced the court of the King of Holland. The young man conducts a flo ishing livery business at Piermoni. He drives fast horses, spends money tavishi; Miss Her- ing says that she first met Blakeney in June, 1885, ata country Ler 4 in Orangeburg. For neur!y a year he’ visited er home in Mont Vale, showing her much attention and taki her driving and going to concerts, theaters ant other places of amusement. His visits, spe said, averaged twice a week. Last spring she moved to Piermont and then Blakeney visited her almost nightly. Miss Hering asserts that in May he promised to marry her. Blakeney came to her subsequently and said that the Wedding must be postponed. The girl begged him to make her his wife and save her irom disgrace. Later he promised to marry her, she says, and did not deny that he ever prom- ised to do so, but he now refuses to marry her. The suit is brought by her stepmother. ‘A Tribune reporter yesterday found Mr. Bey at his stables in Piermont. He admitted an intimate acquaintance with Miss Hering during the time named by her, but says that he never promised to marry her. He then drew from an inside pocket a legal document which he asked the bag to read. The paper was drawn by F. A. Hinman, Mr. Blakeney’s lawyer in this city, was dated October 12, 1886, and in consideration of the sum of one dollar forever released Blakeney from any liability to action against him by Miss Hering for any reason, it wus signed by Miss Hering and by Ryer Ryerson, of Tappan, a8 her guardian ad litem. Attached to it was the summons ina suit of precisely the same nature as the one now brought, and it was aiso for $15,000 dam- ages. Mr, Blakeney would give no iniormation as to why so important a document was signed by Miss bien Sesto nominal asum, The only explanation ir. Blakeney would vouchsafe was that he asked her to release him and she did so, “The agreement was executed before C. H. Cohn, a notary public, and on it Mr. Biakeney scems to rest his deiense. He was served with the papers in the second sult yes- terday. Blakeney has a young cousin also named Wilhtam who will on December 20 marry Ella Hering, of Tappan, and there is a third young Woman of the same name, also a friend of the Blakeneys, living near Piermont, Ignorance of the facts of the case has resulted in a sad mixture of names and occurrences and sus- tains an anxious interest by many people in the case. ——__+0+______ Seeking Paradise in Mexico.

A_Letter From The President and Speeches by Speaker Carlisie and Sen- ator Beck. Nearly three hundred prominent democrats sat down to the Iroquois banquet at Chicago last night, Letters of regret were read by some who found it impossible to attend. A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT was read, in which he says: “I regret exceed- ingly that official duties, just at this time un- usually exacting and important, prevent my acceptance of your invitation to attend the fourth annual banquetof the Iroquois club on the 17th instant. Iam much impressed with the present importance of the thorough and timely discussion by the people of the various questions which are related to good govern- mentand the prosperity of the country, and which, because they are so related, concern the welfare and success of the democretic party. In the work which must be undertaken of pre- senting these questions to the judgment of our citizens in such a manner as to remove misap- eee and aid the correet conclusion, I elieve that the Iroquois club will provo'a most effective instrumentality.” Letters were read irom Mayor-elect Hewitt, Representatives 8.8 Cox and Belmont, Gov ernor Hill, Governor Fitzhugh Lee, Hon. Allan G. Thurmin and Gen. Fitz John Porter. SPEAKER CARLISLE ON REVENUE REFORM. Speaker Carlisle responded to the toast— “American Industries: Their Growth and Pros- rity Cannot be Promoted by Unnecessary or Unequal Taxation.” He si ‘Although the toast just read asserts a self-evident truth, we cannot afford to ignore the fact that even In this ape rae bical speculation and prac- tical knowledge, there are men in the iront ranks of literature, politics, and business who seriously contend that the government can make itseltizens rich and prosperous by taxing then. If these gentlemen should attempt to convince the public that the farmer could be made more prosperous by increasing the tax on his land, or that the manufacturer could be benefitted by compelling him to pay a high rate ot taxation on his machinery, or his income, the absurdity of their position would be so apparent as to excite universal ridicule; and yet such proposition would be no more ab- surd or unreasonable than th asser- tion that the prosperity of the people generally can be iucreased by imposing taxes upon their food, their ciothing, their building material,’ their means of transportation, and their’ tools, and imple- ments used in their industries. Taxes do not create wealth; they destroy it. All taxation, whether it be direct or indirect, and no matter how it may be disguised or in what manner its payment may be enforced, is ultimately a charge upon labor, while its immediate and invariable effect is to withdraw the tullamount of the exaction from the productive industries ofthe people. When it is equitably imposed for public purposes only and its proceeds are hon- estly used in defrayiug the necessary expenses and meeting the just obligations of the govern- ment, all are equally benefited and no one has aright to compiain; but, when a tax is imposed upon one part of the people or one class of in- dustries simply for the purpose of increasing the profits of another part of the people or other class of industries, or when a tax is so laid that its necessary effect is to increase the profits in some industries at the expense of others eycally, meritorious, the impolicy and injustice of the proceeding ‘are too obvious to require comment. Absolute equality in the adyustinent of the rates of taxation and in designation of the articles upon which it shall be imposed is not to be expected, and in fact not attainable, but substantial equality and uniformity are essential elements in every just revenue sys- tem. So long as the power of taxation is exercised only for the purpose of raising wevenue for the support of the ernment the principles of — equality and uniformity can be recognized and 1 forced in a large degree at leasi, but when tl power is perverted and used ‘to increase the profits of private individuals and prevent the collection of revenue by the government, it is impossible to regttlate its exercise by any rule or prinetple except favoritism and. selfishness, In such a case equality and uniformity’ will necessarily defeat the primary object of the tax, because it is evideat that if ali were com- pelled to pay equal tribute toeach other nobody would be benefited, and it is just as evident that ifall donot pay equal tribute somebody t_be cheated. American industries—and by these I mean toinclude every honest and usetul occupation—cannot be promoted by ay system of taxation or any polley of legisiation which discriminates between them, and com- pels one to contribute a partof its own earnings Vo increase the profits or prevent Josses in an- other. There should be no expatriated or r- secuted industries in the country. There should be no ranks or degrees among the legitimate occupations of the people, nor any road to the tavor or bounty of the government not open to allalike. * * * That taxation tor protective purposes has resulted so far ina continuous waste of capital and labor in tnis country is conclusively shown by the present conaition of the so-called protected industries and by the history of our legislation on the subject.” THE FIGHT FOR REFORM WILL GO OX. “But no matter who may desert or who may falter the great fight for reform will go on. This country does not belong toeither the monopo- lists or the communists, and the people will save it from both. Between the ‘two there stundsagreatand powerful body of enlightened, conservative and patriotic citizen, who obey the laws and preserve the public’ peace, and who, in spite of ali combinations and conspira- cles, will ultimately see that the true princi- ples of justice and equallty prevail in the legis- lation ot the country. Even to prevent the continuance of long-existing and constantly- increasing evils they Willi not rush from one extreme to another, but will proceed carefully, dcliberately and resolutely to correct inequali- lies, remove unnecessary burdens,and open the paths thatlead to peace and prosperity.

ALSO TO COMPEL THE SUREENDER 70 HIM OF THOSE NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND BONDS, From the New York Sun. Cyrus W. Field has brought, in the supreme court in Westchester county, two suits against President Charies P. Clark, of the New York and New England railroad, and Francis L. Hig- ginson. He accuses them of fraudulently cou~ spiring to prevent him and his associates, Rus- sell Sage, Simon Wormer and Thomas W. Pearsail, who have assigned their rights to him, from buying the $1,542,000 of second mortgage bonds which belonged to the state of Massachusetts and were offered for sale to the highest bidder. je alleges tbat they falsely represented’ to the governor and council that Field and Sage had openly advocated the purchase of the se- curities with a view of compelling the unse- cured creditors, by a threat of foreclosure, to sell their claims cheap, and had criticised ‘Re- ceiver Clark’s management of the property on the ground that It had been too successful, and had diminished the chances of freezing out the creditors and making some money. Plaintiff alleges that by means of these false representa- tions the governor and council were induced to sell the state's bonds to the defendants, who had made a lower bid than the piaintift and his associates. He says he is ‘willing and hereby offers to buy the bonds from the defend- ants at the price they paid, with interest, and he demands judgment that they surrender the bonds to him tor such price. This is the demand ia the first suit. The sec ond sets forth similar grounds of action and demands $500,000 damages, alleging that the Plaintit and his associates, by their failure to get the bonds, iost the opportanity of making Jurge profits thereby, which ihe defendants ob- tained for themselves and their associates.

The Philadelphia Press says: ‘The strained relations of Mexico with ethereouutries, nota- bly the Cutting episode, have resulted in the strengthening of the diplomatic service on the outposts of Mexico and yesterday Senor Rafael Varrios, who has been stationed in this city as consul since June, 1883, was officially notified by President Diaz, of the Mexican government, Uhrough Mariscal, secretary of state, that he had been transferred to Laredo, Tex., and 10 re- port atonce for duty. Consul Varrios has been a trusted servant of the government since 18 having held several cousulsuips and collector ships in Mexico and this country. Senor Varrios’ transfer is regarded as some- wnat significant, and the government acknow!- edges in the official document that “affairs with the United States have already attained such a condition, and every day are becoming so much more complicated that the Mexican government requires on her borders persons who will treat matters with the greatest. tact.” Senor Varrios, although a true Mexican at heart, is fond of America and in thorough sy pathy with the American spirit, so that bis presence ou the border will be decidedly advan- tageous to American interests. eon A Vermont Sensation. A YOUNG LADY'S REMARKABLE PLEA TO A CHARGE OF FORGERY. A special from Burlington, Vt., to the New York Herald says: A wedding which was to have taken place here Tuesday night was inter- rupted in a surprising manner this afternoon by the arrest of Miss Jennie Saxton, sister of the bride, on the charge ot forging two orders on the savings bank of Burlington, One order was for $500 and the other for $500. ‘The officer found the accused and her sisterin the parlors of the Van Ness House, making faston of his visit was made’ known the bride- elect came near fainting.

He rushed to the door, but the lady had disap- peared, He then determined not to say any- thing about the matter, with the idea that the fair stranger might again visit him on a similar errand and s0 be apprehended. Yesterday afternoon his patience was re- warded. A bell boy from the Van Ness house entered the bank and handed him an envelope addressed in the hardwriting which had so impressed him. It enclosed an order for signed by John L. Mason, of Richmond, and also” a note si that the writer was ill and asking that the-money be sent to her at the hotel.
