The Commissioners today granted the United States Electric Lighting Company permission to lay an underground conduit from 14th and | V streets west along on the north side of V street to the first alley, thence along the alley | tothe cable pole in square 203, aud also to lay @ branch conduit from the north side of V between 14th and 15th west across V to the cable pole at the mouth of the alley in square 204. Permission was also granted the company to place distributing poles for electric lighting purposes in the alleys in the | squares abutting directly on 14th street north- west between Ithode Island avenue and Florida | avenue, but the Commissioners stipulated that | no pole should be erected in any strect or | lavenne.

Ex-Minister Loring Entertains a Large As- semblage on That Subject. The lecture room of All Souls’ Church was filled last evening by an interested andience to listen to an address on “Portugal, Its Past and Present,” by Hon. George B. Loring, ex-minis- ter to Portugal. Mr. Loring gave a very picturesque and valuable account of the history and condition of Portugal, whose glory, he | said, was in the past. The country has but | 4,500,000 inhabitants, its domain covers 34,500 square miles, while its debt is $104,000,000, its revenue 248,000,000, and its disbursements | | $47,000,000. He compared the kingdom with | the state of New York, eaying, that while it was no larger, New York’s income was $17,000,000 and its disbursements the same amount. New York is a modern state, made up of a progres# ive and industrious population, while Portugal | | lives in the past—a past that is the very ro- | mance of history. ‘A thousand years before Christ Portugal was occupied by ihe carly tribes of men and she | was overrun in her esrlier ages by the Goths | and Vandals. Her history is a most interesting one,although tially lost in the gloom of the dark ages. wring the latter part of the fifteenth and the early part of the sixteenth centuries Portugal was the most powerful natior of the world, its possemsions in and the East Indies | were enormous, | The country is now a qniet, prosperous one, | with a progressive agriculture and a smali | manufacture and a small commerce. The peo- | ple are industrious, temperate and contented. They haye a beautiful country and a fine cli- mate. In closing the speaker referred to the | present king and queer: of Portugal as the ad- murable sovereigns of « loyal peopic. Soares THE POTTERS’ CONVENTION.

The arrest of William Gross yesterday for | writing policy swells the number of arrests for | that offense to about six during the past few | {days Gross, together with William Potter, | were before Judge Miller yesterday and they | | were required to furnish #300 bonds each while awaiting the action of the grand jury.

Nota great while ago collateral was all that was required for the charge placed against them, but it isnot that way now, fora case came up before Lieut.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: A question that is neither sectional nor sump- tuary and helps both town and county is com- mon roads. A leading reason for people de- serting the country and flocking to the towns is the blockade of the common roads, and the decline of farm values is,much due to the non- presence in the country of rentiers and retired and refined people. Since the Baltimore and Ohio's Metropolitan branch was opened,our only open road through a solvent commonwealth to high altitudes, the population of Washington has sprinkled the line with chateaus and towns for above forty miles. Let it be supplemented by @ good pike and coaching from Washington Become fashionable, asin New York and Europe. ‘De Witt Clinton wrote to Thomas Eddy from Albany December 23, 1822: é “Fifty millions of gallons of spirituous md are annually vege s poh og 2 fates, at an expense of £30, and w the sacrifice of 30,000 lives. "hater deducting foreige ‘importation “After deducting foreign im wf spirita, say to the mmactnt ot 6,010.0 allowing for 4,000,000 produced from foreign molasses, there would still remain 40,000,000 manufactured from our own mat fa “Au excise of one shilling a gallon would produce a revenue of #5,000,000 a year. Double the duty and you will raise a fund that will pay off the national debt and line and intersect the country in all directions with canals and roads. “Here the revenue of the country would be auxiliary to its morality—a noble Union in the eye of a great statesman.” Clinton wrote agai “To remove all doubts I should like an amendment to the Constitution investing gress with the power of appropriation only (for roads and internal improvements). On this subject I never had a doubt. As the national government has all the effective revenue and funds of the nation it ought, if it has not, to be invested with the power of distributing a due portion among the several states for the estab- lishment of communications.” From the figures of 1822 turn to ‘THE EXCISE REVENUES OF THE PRESENT MOMENT. ‘The internal revenue system yielded in 1890 nearly $143,000,000, of which nearly $82,000,000 were for spirits. Maryland paid the govern- ment $3,313,000 upon spirits; Pennsylvania, above $9'732,000, aud the. two’ Virginian, St, 500,000. "The District of Columbia paid the in~ ternal revenue $170,000. ‘There were thirty-five fruit distilleries in Maryland, 1,188 in the two Virginias and only sixty-five in Pennsylvania. Nearly 644,000 busheis of grain were used for distilling’ in Maryland; 15,000 only in the two Virginias. ‘Twenty-seven distilleries were in Maryland; seven of them in Baltimore, two in Mont- gomery county, four in Frederick county, nine ‘in Washington county. The leakage aliowed in all the American distilleries was nearly 3,000,000 gallons, or $2,700,000. Nearly 168,000 gallons of Maryland spirits had been withdrawn for exportation in 1889; only 22,000 gallons in 1890. There remained in the Mary- land ware houses June 30, 1890, nearly 4,706, 000 gallons awaiting payment of tax at 90 cents per gallon. About 131,000,000 gallons were outside of customs bond in’ 1889, having paid the taxes. About £400,000 are paid in the city of Balti- more alone per annum for liquor licenses, and there are over 2,000 liquor bars and groceries. About $133,000 ‘also stolen by the state treas urer. Ingenious professors in Baltimore are writing comments on the colonial “dismemberment of the state,” but nothing has a greater tendency to dismember Maryland than the late laws to DEPRIVE STRANGERS OF THE BALLOT for venturing to improve the fringe of that commonwealth that has been left. ‘The state's debt isabout the same as those of New York and Pennsylvania, and it has just closed out its profitable investment in the principal rail- road. The taxes in Montgomery county are but ninety-one and a quarter cents per hundred dol- lars,in Frederick sixty-twocentaand in Washing- ton, the mountain county, seventy-eight cents. The state taxes are less ‘than eighteen cents. The population is 1,042,390, and since the civil ‘oln's election, it has increased 330,000, or full one-third. Montgomery county has grown 9,000 in that time in wpite of her large contribution to the District of Columbia, which has grown 83,000 in only ‘en years. The District of Colum hhas climbed three in the acale of states and } roperty ,000,000, all of Montgomery county valued at less than ‘nine and a third millions, while Prince George's is valued £233,000 less than in 1880. Frederick county also is marked down from twenty-five and a half millions to twenty-three milliors. ‘These figures show tho needs of initiative self-help roads.and of the only true courage and patriotism, namely, 70 SUFFER TAXATION, and Maryland is fifty years behind Pennsylva- nia in these respect. Fifty years ago the society of Washington city went in carriages to Bedford, Berkeley and the other mountain springs. Now one Maryland community will petition against the next one having a road pointed to a railroad station and the disoal drivel of states rights separates county from county like the Indian tribes. A distiller in Frederick county has been working several years to have a main road turnpiked for a distanze of four miles without avail; the wer of public meeting and of subscription never been born there. Let us suppose, therefore, that by some bet- ter arrangement of the customs duties—say the return of the tax to sugar, which would yield ‘©60,000,000 a year—it would be possible for the government ‘to collect and apply for three years the internal revenue taxes to the building of common roads. ‘The machinery is already in running order: we cannot afford to trust state treasurers nor yet the state finance boards which watch them. ‘The engineers of the army can be detailed for the work, and most of them recognize its utility for war exigencies. It cost, by some compu- tations. $100.000,000 to. move troops and muni- tions between Washingtor and the Monocacy waters during the civil war. Let the states in proportion to their internal revenue taxes receive back the aggregate upon the roads. ‘This would be practical and mot moonshine relief for the Farmers’ Alliance; the walking home will at least beimproved for their statesmen. Maryland would receive at $2,000 a mile about 1,650 miles of pike road in one year. At £4,000 per mile, 825 miles. The Virginias would get 2,280 miles of stone road in one year, iit three years they would have at €4,000 per mile 8,375 miles. Pennsylvania would get in one ear 4,866 miles of durable road—twelve times er largest diameter—at $2,000 per mile. . The proportion would coutinne throughout the Union, and farms would rise several dol- Jars per acre over the length and breadth of our empire, while one horse would do the work of two. ‘Taking up this idea, which would foment no jealousies, a public man could attain a reputa- tion like that of DeWitt Clinton or Nathan Pane and be classed among the benefactors of the earth. ButIfear that too many of our solons think with old Nathaniel. Macon. once Speaker over them, that ‘bad common roads and fist fights make the best militia in the world.” Gxo.

Mr. Eustis having madea speech in the Senate yesterday, during which he attacked the force bill and made some remarks about Mr. Hoar and Massachusetts, which the Massachu- setts Senator did not approve of, Mr. Hoar re- plied in an manner defending Massachusetts and taking exceptions to some of the incidents in the history of Louisiana. Mr. Hoar was so deeply in earnest that his voice was husky and his frame trembled with excitement.
