The mpeeches made in support of the proposed measure showed concinsively, hotwithstanding tne sincere disclaimers of one oF two of Its advocates, that the change i intended by the large majority ot the small number who favor it as ‘@ mere preliminary to suffrage im local a@aira, and it 1s also evident from the manner in which the friends of the Dill expressed ‘themselves that its advocacy by them in a similar vetn eisowhere will expose the community toevery additional and unintended damage which has been feared. This measure, if vigorously pushed before ‘Congress, after {ts adoption by eleven less than ‘oae-half of the Citizens’ Committee, and after its feeble indorsement by only three of the seven city Gistricts, aid in the face of public disapproval or indifference, and a secession from the commit- ‘Yee itself, will interfere seriously with the success ‘Of those practical measures proposed by the com- multtee for the benefit of the District, concerning ‘Which @ reasonable degree of harmony exista, such a the proposals reiating Co railroads, schodis, pub- ‘ie bulidings and various improvements in the Dis. ‘trict laws, It will absord time and attention trom ‘The other projects, and tend to defeat them. It ‘Will, in short, let loose a buil in the cina-shop of Jnistrict leytsiation. Not only will it Interfere with the practical plans of the committee, but it will impair, and has impaired, its influence and standing. ‘The cuarge bas been freely made against the com- multtee, from its organization, that 1t3 real object was not to push to a successful end the various practical measures proposed by it, Dut, using these plans as moans to win confidence, to work eventually to an ‘overturow of the District government, against whieh personal grievances among’ leading committee members were said to exist. The debate last night, in which the District local gov- ernment was denounced as the worst in the world, and It8 advocates designated as “serfs,” “dirt~ eaters,” “the plutocracy which deified Shepherd,” or as “miserable Senators and Kepresentatives who favor at the capital ‘What they dare not propose to their con- stituencies,” will give new life to the charge. ‘The practical result of forcing measure which ‘causes members to bitterly antagonize every other Interest and element of the population and the local and national governments, will be to lose to the ‘committee the confidence and support of the gen- eral public, of many in the local associations, and & considerable part of its own membership. It is denied that any change in the financtal re. lations of District and General Government is in- tended by the bill. That ts not the charge. It is ‘known that at least one influential member of Congress is opposed to the present fuancial rela- ‘ons, and has threatened to overthrow them if ‘he can when the opportunity presents itself. This proposition furnishes the opportunity. TE Sta does not propose to repeat its argu- mente against unlimited suffrage in municipal affairs, But it would suggest to the blood-bolling citizens wh? denounce the present condition of ‘things that Dy this measure they threaten pending legislation, the reputation of the Citwens’ Com- mittee, and the interests of the community, with- out gaining a single additional right of American ettvenship.
