HILL'S STRENGTH IN OHIO. The Anti-Campbell Men Opposed to Cleve- land, Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Couvmevs, Onto, March 2.—Although there are undoubtedly a great many Hill admirers among the democratic leaders in Ohio the movement in his interest has been started in a manner so bungling that it is not likely to de- velop any great strength. Two calls for meet- ings of Hill democrats were issued simultane- ously and from different sources here last week and neither was largely attended. Committees of conference were appointed and a joint meet- ing is now arranged to be held this srexing. ¢ character of the Hill following in Ohio ignot calculated to win support. The two democrats in this city who are most prominent in the Hill movement are ex-Congressman George L. Converse and Thomas E. Powell, who ‘Was 4 candidate for governor in 1887. Converse Was retired ater serving three terms in Con- gress, because he went over to the republicans and voted with them against the Morrison “horizontal” reduction bill, the present Con- gressman, Mr. Outhwaite, succeeding him. Bince then Converse has opposed about every- thing Congressman Outhwaite has proposed, and as Mr. Outhwaite is a strong Cleveland min it is perfectly natural that Mr. Converse should favor Senator Hill. Since vetiring from Congress Mr. Converse has become « thorough Protectionist, and, of course, docs not want so lecided a tariff reformer as Mr. Cleveland made the party nominee. Mr. Powell ‘has bad his @ on Mr. Outh- is occasions have resulted in somewhat strained relations between the two. Powell also belongs to the class of democrats who were not recog- nized in an official way by Mr. Cleveland when he was Prevident, and doubtless thinks his only Former | th chance for re nition, should the next national tration be democratic, lies in the nomi- a newman. Mr. Cleveland will lose some strength in Obio by the close identifica- tion of ex-Governor Campbell with his inter- ests. Itis useless to try to conceal the fact that the ex-governor is decidedly unpopular in among the members of his Enquirer is out quarter of the state—Hamilton county—is al- most certain to send Hill delegates to Chicago. RANK AND FILE FOR CLEVELAND. Obio democrats are, asa rule, strong advo- cates of tariff reform. Every democratic Con- gressman from this state who has failed to aup- rt democratic tariff reform bills in the House as been promptly retired. This feeling nat- orally inclines the rank and file of the party to the support of Mr. Cleveland in the present case. THE M'KINLEY BOOM GROWING. ‘The McKinley boom is growing rapidly here. The announcement of the Foraker republi that they will support McKinley’s interests at Minneapolis and use all their power to send a solid McKinley delegation to Minneapolis,makes Gov. McKinley, in the opinion of many politi- cians here, the most likely republican, after 9 ison, to secure the republican nomination. ‘The Foraker and Sherman republicans are just now in deadlock over the bill to re- district the state for Congress. The Sherman men, being in the majority, were inclined to take the best of it m this measure for them- selves. ‘The Foraker republicans served notice onthem that unless they were dealt fairly with in making the new districts they would vote with the democrats and retain the districts as they are. So the matter stands, complicated, however, by the introduction of the six million dollar Cincinnati water works bil The Cin- cinnati delegation, all republicans, and inde- pendent in the matter of making congressional districts, are using their votes on the districts as clubs over the heads of fellow members to secure the passage of the water works bili, Enthusiasm for Cleveland in Rhode Island— Other Notes.

They were in full sympathy with it, possibly with the ception of Livingstone of Georgia, who is in doubt whether his state is ripe for the move- ment.

These committees met yesterday afternoon, but the results of their labors have not been made public. It is vaguely teported that the rules committee reports in favor of three balls instead of four, while the national agreement favors draftii ut on more liberal terms.

Representative Henderson's Protest Against the Reductions Made, THE APPROPRIATION BILL. He Gays That the Political Dagger Has Been ‘Thrust Into the Bowels of the District—An Analysis of the Cuts Made and Their'Con- sequences. In _the House today Mr. called up the District of Columbia appropriation bill for consideration. Mr. Richardson of Tennessee took the chair when the Rouse went into com- mittee of the whole. ‘By unanimous consent the formal reading of the bill was dispensed with. Mr. Dockery represented the majority and Mr. Henderson of Towa the minority on the Dill. It was agroed that general debate should be limited to one hour on each side. These preliminaries arranged Mr. Dockery proceeded toashort and formal statement of the pro- visions of the bill. He detailed the amounts carried by the bill and caused to be read at the clerk's desk tatement of the decteases and inorkases over ppropriations for the cur- rent = ye by the bill, all of which was Published at length in Tux Stan yesterday. Two minutes of time were allotted to Mr. Sayers of Texas that he might ask permission to insert in the Record a statement farnished by the supervising architect of the treasury show. ing the condition of work on public buildings in the United States, which was granted. IX DEFENSE OF THE DisTRICT. ‘Mr. Henderson of Iowa was then recognized. He said the; city of Washington is one of the most fortunate and at the same time unfortu- nate of cities in this country, a seoming pera- dox. It is fortunate in its ‘situation, its cli- mate, the character of its citizens and in being the capital of the most progressive nation on the earth. It is unfortanste in having nodirect legivlative representation, no city council or other local government. None of the persons in Congress, who in their representative capacity control the destinies of this city, are allied to the city or interested in it save in their patriotic capacity as representatives. He thought it wrong that the District should pay half of the expenses of the District. ft all the millions of people who tread the streets of Washington I @ year the great majority co from outside the Dis- trictand are not citizens of Washington. The majority of the pupils of — the Public schools are from other _ portions of the Umon. It is our city, the city of the United States as well as of the people of Wash- ington. Yet Congressmen with the multiplicity of their duties cinnot give the interests of the District of Coluubia the attention or consid- eration which they deserve. POLITICS OUGHT NOT TO BE CONSIDERED, Politics should not enter into questions af- fecting the District. All matters pertaining to the District should be considered with an eye singly to the welfare of the District. Yet, said Mr. Henderson, he must be frank with the House, must act’ square, and thore- fore he felt it his duty to say that he believed politics have entered into the consideration of i this Dill to a large degree. He believed that heavy cuts had been made in the wrong. places in this bill because Gfan impending presidential campaign. He re- gretted that he felt compelled to make the statement that partisan spirit of economy affected the appropriation committee in pre- paring and reporting this bill. Mr. Henderson then turned his attention to the items of the bill. He explained that the expenses of the water department are paid by the revenues of that department. He reviewed bai fly, in a formal way, the provisions of the Reverting to the cuts made in the bill be regretted the slico of $500 from the salary of the superintendent of charities, There are twenty-seven charitable institutions in the city, twenty-five of which receive aid from Congress. In no city in this country does the benevolen-e of citizens surpass that of the citizens of Wash- ington, and in no city have the charities been 80 loosely administered. Bince the appointment of a superintendent of charities his conscientious work had enabled Congrets to reduce the appropriations for charities many thousand dollara, THE CUT IN STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Referring to the cut of €200,000 made in the appropriation for improvements of streets and enues, he said a subcommittee went over the city visiting the streets proposed to be improved and made memoranda of the improvements in little books provided for the purpose. “These books were never opened afterward,” said “The Mr. Henderson, holding one up to vi committee never took our worl jera- tion at ull.” He said the committee had started out with the intention of cutting down the bill and they simply lopped off 388-10 per cent from each item in the estimate without pausing to investigate whether the estimate was just or not. This percentage wat forced in order to cut down the bill and to make the welkin ring in October with the ery of economy. U: this bill not a single into Un street can bo completed with the appropriation rovided. Every street will be left in an un- inished condition. This District could at this hour wisely expend not less than $2,000,000 on streets, aud there is over $1,500,000 unexpended surplus in the Dis- trict fund. “In view of these si tements,” asked Mr. Henderson, “can it be denied that the political dagger has entered the bowels of the District appropriation bili?” THE SEWER QUESTION. In reference to the appropriations for sewers, Mr. Henderson said that he who touches the sewerage system of a great city with the pruning knife should touch it with intelligence. He touches the home, the health, the life of the citizen. The knife should be used with the friendly touch of the surgeon and not laid on with the hand of recklessness. The sewerage which comes from the neigh: borhood of the White House and the State, War and Navy Departments is permitted to collect into a nant pool without current, ‘where it polsons the ‘atmosphere of the neigh: borhood with malaria, ‘The appropriations for suburban sewers is cut down from $112,000, the amount asked. to $58,000 given. In the face of the fact that suburban towns and villages contribute liber- ally to the public fund, in spite of the fact that Mt. Pleasant is threatenea with a pestilence, the appropriation for a» sewer for that section lown to $16,000. Mr. Henderson ‘protested against the dis- crimination made in the of women school teachers unfavorably as compared with men. pre, Committee screwed down the amount for new school buildings to $88,000 from $220,000, as given by the last’ Congress, A cut of $3,500 is made in the health department, the last place to use the pruning knife. ‘MR. DOCKERY DEFENDS THR BILL. Mr. Dockery then took the floor to defend the bill, He expressed his disinclination to discuss politics in connection with this bill,but ho was at a loss to understand what Mr. Hen- derson meant by referring to political considerations entering into consideration of bill. Possibly the gentleman referred. to the fact that the Secretary of the yithout, examination of [the catimates, had mn throt mand wit stroke knocked out $711,000. 5 “"4 "it one Probably a reflection upon the state of the treasury iad influenced the Secretary in this perv os ly the persistent Genie the rity to secure larger appro arose froma Mascire to vindbente or esas dol- the appropriations for street im- provements the comitive had folleee hee ‘The firstses- sion of that Congress Propriation $150,000.

REED'S SUGGESTION. ‘Mr. Reed arose to sarcastically suggest that if the subcommittee had beenable to knock out 9609,000 from the estimates in four weeks it would be bute question of time when he could Aigare a basis for running the city for nothing. Ir. Dockery referred to the amount pro- Yided for text books for the public schools. The committee gave $12,000, exactly what was given heretofore to maintain that system in the first four des. The committee had given Prof. Powell for new school buildings the sum which he had thought absolutely necessary. Of course it was areduc- tion from the sum provided for the current year. stan CHAMBER PROcEEDISOR Mr. Henderson accused the subcommittee of having held star chamber proceedings with District officers, and intimated that they bed coerced their judgment.

Mr. Breckinridge assorted that the bill was not subject to the sort of criticism Gen. Hen- derson passed upon it with relation to the schools, of the lady superintendent, there was no mination inst ‘a woman, that the Com- missioners could appoint her to any place they chose to. They could put a man in her pitee and appoint her in the place of the man. ie did not think that there was any warrant for stirring up such antagonism to the bill as Gov. Hen "s attack was calculated to ex- cite. AN ARBITRARY CCT. Gen. Cogswell said that the subcommittee were given to understand from the first, when the bill was taken up, under no circum- stances, no matter how it the need, should’ there any increase. When they ca to the large i bill, the street improvements and subcommittee was the | ] ven to und certain arbitrary cut should be Tegard to the needs of the great and beautiful capital, ‘MB. COMPTON'S WARNIXG. Mr. Compton said that the burden of taxa- tion fell upon the small property holders of the District of Columbia. and extravagant ex- Penditures were felt severely by them. There were two classes of people here who did not care how extravagant the ex- Penditures might be. These were people of wealth with large holdings increased in value by these expenditures, and people who did not live here all the while, bui liked to enjoy the beauties of the city’ when here and had temporary investments which might be increased in valuc. ‘These folks did not have the interests of the District of Columbia at heart. He werned the District of Columbia Com- missioners that if they were not more carcful in making expenditures the time would not be far off when the proportion of expenses born by the government would be decreased and that by the Disirict of Columbia increased. NO REASON WHY THE UNITED STATES SHOULD PAY. Mr. Otis, Farmers’ Alliance member from | Kansas, followed Mr. Compton. He said that he saw no reason why the United States gov- erment should be called upon to pay half the expenses of the District of Columbia. He did | not see why the people of the District should | not pay her own taxes like people in other cities in the United States. He thought the government would be the gainer if the | whole District should be ceded back to the state of Maryland. He thought it a gross in- justice to the people of the courtry that Con- gress should act at once as a legislature and city couneil and defray the cxpenses of the District. MR, HEMPHILL POINTS OUT A MISTAKE. Mr. Hemphill arose to point out mistakes which the House had made in not referring the appropriation bili to the District commit- tee instead of the committee on appropriations. From the District committee it would have been reported without being subject to politi- cal debates. REGISTER OF WILLA, ‘The House agreed to an amendment, offered by Mr. Hemphill, fixing the salary of the regis- ter of wills and providing that all fees over that amount shall be turned into the treasury after deducting # reasonable sum for clerk hire. No increase in the number or salaries of clerks shall be permitted. THE RECORDER OF DEEDS SALALY. Mr. Hemphill offered another amendment providing that a salary of $3,600 be provided for the recorder of deeds. Mr. Buchanan of New Jersey raised point of order that this was legislation that did not have for ite object the reduction expenditures. ‘The chair overruled the point of order. Mr. Hemphill made a brief ex n of the ob- ject of the amendment and said that the ealary provided for was afair one. Gen. Hender- son of Iowa objected that the legis- lation proposed had not been consid- ered by any committee or by the House. Mr. Hemphill in reply explained that this office under the fee system was more remunerated | than any other in the District except that of | the presidency of the United States. The amendment was adopted. MARBLE BUSTS IN THE SENATE CHAMBER. Within a few days marble busts of the late Vice President Wheeler and President Arthur will be placed in niches in the west! wall of the Senate chamber.

The Idaho election case was taken up and Mr. George stated the reasons which would control his own action in casting his vote for the contestant. The question was a very inter- esting one and its decision was of great mo- ment, not only to the state of Idaho, but to the whole country. There was 10 room in the case for personal prejudices or for considera- tions of party advantages cither now or in the future. _ ‘The Senate's sole duty and ite sworn obli tion was to consider the question impartially, without being swayed by any consideration ver except the desire to do right.
