a ING STAR has the fallest Local jon of any Newspaper In the World, Advertising Medinm is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. ‘The New York Herald in a fit of spleen over the proposition to remove the remains of Gen, Grant from the city where he has been dis- honored to Arlington, where he will be honored, assails the capital in this fashion: “Is not Washington the poor relation or charity boy among cities? Washington lives under the table of the government. * * * New York can submit with a certain meekness to lectures from cities which by the public enterprise and Private spirit of their citizens have earned the right to be. But New York pays too much money every year for the support of Washing- ton to accept her criticisms without remon- strance.” In other words the portion of the national taxes, which New York contributes towards the money expended by tue republic iu adorning the national capital fa to exempt that city from criticisms by the People of the capital upon New York's displays Of » lack of public spirit, as in the treatment of the remains of Grant. The citizen of the Dis- trict, having been deprived of about all the rights ot American citizens except that of pay- ing taxes, is now denied by the Herald the right to talk. Too much of this miserable stuff, dis- torting through ignorance or maiice the re tion of this commuuity to other American citi- sons, has been recently printed and spoken. The nation, of which New York is a part, founded and undertook to build up th capital as a national city. Under pretences about what it intended to do, which wore afterwards falsified, it obtained donations of land from the original owners of the soil. It bound iteclf by its acts and declarations and implied contracts to do that which the Jlerald now treats asacharity to the residents here. By planning a magniticent capital, covering a large area and characterized Ly broad streets, avenues and reservations beyond the means of as Maryland village or @ self-supporting com- mercial city of thatday to maintain credita- Diy, and by founding this capital in,a place comparatively uninhabited, as well as by the terms of its agreement with the owners of the soil, and by the declarations of its representa- tives at the founding of the capital and afterward, it indicated an intention to build up a national city at national experise on a grand scale irrespective of the future population of the District, Patrick Henry and some of the early pamphieteers protested against the na- tion's meeting all the capital's needs, lest the self-respect of the people should be degraded. This protest was heeded to such an extent that practically all the burden of capital making was thrown upon the District's feeble popula- tion, causing the city to drift into bank- ruptey in 1535 in the desperate effort to perform the nation’s task Senator Southard in that year reported this condition of facts, saying that “the city authorities had been misled into expenditures which did not prop- erly belong to them, although the views by which they were governed were of a liberal | Teason: I buy for cash, I sell for cash, I get all Ican err A AA A FAIR.

The burdeus of life seemed almost greater than I could bear, and the troubies of the day pursued me through the quiet hours of the night, visions of in- Stallinent Lills gave me horrid micbtmares and sleep made me tired, I read Granty's advertisement, went to see his stock, made my calculations, quit buying on credit aud uow Life's @ picasure.” Thus spoke a mab who thought he had been keting a great accommoda- tlon in having some onegady to cluim bis cash almost before hecarued it ThéFe are thousands of people iu Washington today who are living ag he Laddone Now I ouly ask sou to use Just a little COMMON SENSE and compare my prices with any house in the city and Tilsave you something right along. And bere is the fora dotiar, 1doa't speud a dime chasing a cent, my expenses are not one-third of housce in other parts of thocity,and I am willing to sive yon the beuefits, and public-spirited character,” and Congress indorsed thia stafement by its action. The | promises of the nation in regard to capital- building were carried out in the same fashion as New York’s promises concerning the Grant monument. A statement made between 1870 and 1880 of the expenditures upon the capital which the nation bad undertaken to build for | itself, showed that the feeble population of the city bad done far more in capital-making than all the rest of the United States, and had worked itself into bankruptey in 1895 in this patriotic labor. In 1873 the nation decided that justice required it to pay one-half the District's expenses, as the | untaxed owner of one-half the capital's prop- erty, and as interested at least to that extent in all improvements; but it has not yet de- clared, as it should, that both justice and con- sistency require the payment of the same pro- portion of the expenses of capital-making in the years of indifferencogand neglect of national obligations, Washington is charity boy only im the sense that it has been treated to the charity boy's kicks and cuffs, instead of to the maintenance which its founder and guardian is under legal obligation to give it. ‘The people of this city have contributed far more toward national concerns than the tax- payers of any other community. They are ob- jects of charity for nobody, and certainly not for the nation, which undertook to make a cap- ital for itself, and got donations of land on that pretense, then unloaded the work of cap- ital-mnking on the small population of this city, and now, having justly resumed a por- tion of the burden, sneers, so far as the Herald is a representative sheet, at the community which it has misused. The charity is really from Washington to the nation, not from the nation to its capital. The nation is now, however, alive to its duties toward the capital, and Wash- ington, forgetting past neglect, sees a magnifi- sent future before it. This development can- not be retarded by euch foolish and ignorant slurs as that of the Herald, which are injurious only until exposed in their foolishness, a The Russian autocracy, or more properly bureaucracy, might with profit reflect that re- pression of right instincts rarely represses any- thing bat the progress ofacountry. It docs that effectually. The Hebrew is as much a fac- tor in the indastrial life of the czar’s empire as any other person in it. Drive him out from where he is doing well and into our crowded lands and all the principles of national economy and of ordimary humanity are violated.
