Night. CHAIRMAN RALSTON EXPLAINS THE ACTION OF THE TOWN COMMISSIONERS AND DEFENDS THE METHOD OF TAXATION ADOPTED—THE OP- PONENTS WERE CONSPICUOUS BY TH¥tn AZ- sENcE. The town commissioners of Hyatteville of single tax tendencies bad their inuing last even- ing, and the approving cries of their supporters were heard all over the little town, as they vigorously applanded the champion of thelr cause, Mr. Jackson H. Ralston, president of the board of town commissioners? who, standing in the hall of the Hyattsville Athletic Club, facing an audience of 150 men, valiantly defended | the action of himself and his two fellow mem- bers of the board, Messrs. Britt and Leng. The meoting was called “for the purpose of | discussing with all the citizens of the town the merits of the exemption of improvements from taxation and the right of the board to take such | astep.” THE OPPOSITION APSENT. Messrs. Latimer and Aman, the remaining members of the board, and who are opposed to the single tax ideas, were conspicuous by their absence. And, indeed, judging from the senti- ments of those who attended the meeting last evening, as expressed by their loud applause of Mr. Relston's iders, the opposition of the ideas were all absent. It was said that the gentlemen | he attended the sheeting beld severs) daysago}| part in Inst night's meeting, claiming, it was said, that the meeting was not the answer hod’ asked. Mr. Ralston was the principal | were Henry George, jr., son of the well-known single tax advocate; Mr. Joseph T. Darling of the Manhattan Single Tax Club of New York and several gentlemen from Washington inter- ested in the subjec ‘The room tn which the meeting was held waa about twenty by fifty, poorly furnished and | filled with chairs and benches. On a table at one end of the room was placed a single lamp. It was not an exceedingly large lamp, nor was ita very brilliant one. The consequence was that much more than half of those t wore hid in darkness. But no objection was made, and it is probable that none would have been entertained. MU, KALSTON'S STATEMENT. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Ral- ston, who, after explaining the objects of the meoting, proceeded npon am elaborate state | ment of the controversy. He spoke with con-| siderable feclinz, und at times he was dramatic- ally carnest in bis remarks. He said that in view of the recent agitation of the subject in | the community the majority of the board of | precede: y me to decide upon their action. to discuss the matter fairly and di sionately, and if any one was reflected upon the fault would lay with the facts in the case. To fully understand the question {t was necessary to go back threg years ago, to the election of a board of commissioners, of which he was a member, and then go over all that has taken Jace since. The people of the town then were taxed ina three-fold manner. It was grossly unfair to the householders, and equally as | favorable to those who held land merely for | speculative purposes. There was one instance where a piece of property was at that time taxed for $40 which under the new system would pay one of $600. TOWN REVENUES NOT REDUCED. It had been said that the recent action of the board reduced the town revenues from $500 to $1,000. This he denied. But whatever the re- sult the board had but followed precedents, for the original measure of taxation adopted by the legislature permitted the exemption of per- sonal property and improvements, and was drawn s0 as to permit succeeding boards to do the same. That was not the r’s action, nor was it a new idea. Yet even ifhe had not been a single tax man he would, as @ con- ecientious lawyer, bave said that it was both lawful and just. ‘And had that provision not originally been made it would have prevented the exemption of church and other Property from taxation. But if any one was to be blamed for that provision he was ready and most willing to be blamed for it. WEAT FORMER COMMISSIONERS HAVE DONE. The exemption of certain property bad been thought of by other persons than himself. Mr. F. J. Gromlick, one timo a town commissioner, had petitioned the legialature to have the bound- aries of the cown so fixed that bis own property would be exempted, and without consultation with his fellow citizens. Two years ago Mr. Sebastian Aman, a member of the board, moved that personal property be exempted, fand tho question had been asked whether the board bad the power todo so. His reply was that they had. So tl was no new idea. “Point out,” said Mr. Ralston, amid t applause, ‘the “difference in principle een tho exemption of personal property the exemption of improvements now. In “we had the right to do it and we did it. The beard was urged on its course by no one, but had sitaply acted under the authority it’ un- questionably possessed.” Former member# of the board had ready todo such things without consultation with their fellow citizens, and could it well be denied that the present board had the right to do what it had done under the cover of the law? And yet the people of the town bad been told that the speaker had sprung tomething -apon them which had never been heard of and of which they knew absolutely nothing. He did not mean to criticise the actions or purposes of the gentlemen, but he did mean to say that he had the right to deny their assertions that the course of the board was a new unheard- of thing. ‘THIRTY SINGLE TAX MEN. He had fn his pocket a list of thirty men, citi- zens of the town, who had announced them- selves as favoring the single tax system. On the other hand, the board did not know that there were that’ many op) toit. If there now were that many he believed that in the next nine months that that number would continue in their opposition. Of these thirty men whose names he eight of them had solemnly com- plained that the board had not consulted the people of the town, and had a protest gainst their action. ' “Calling public meetings, gentlemen,” said Mr. Ralston, “‘was not the only y of obtaining men’s opinions. And we have lately seen that it is one of the very worst ways of getting them.” This remark of the speaker ‘caused an out- burst of cheering which interrupted his speech for several moments. “The t0 government,” continued Mr. Ralston, “is a representative one. It is not a democracy. And if the board does not repre- sent you rightly you have the remedy at the next election.” [Cries of “Good. ‘That's in”) CONGRATULATIONS HE HAD RECEIVED. It bad been drummed into the ears of the people of Hyattsville, since the late action of the board, that the town was socialistic, anarch- istic and all else that was bad, yet the board's action had created the greatest interest every- where throughont the country. in Wash- ington had stopped him to congratulate him, and even men who were not in favor of the single tax system hed told they that they wished to see it fairly tried. Tt had been said that the board had struck the town a deadly blow, and in that connection he read a few of the many letters and telegrams he had received from all ecctionsof the land from men, said the speaker, of education, of refinement—men who were at the fore of all great questions, Lovisvitie, Ry., July 18, 1892.

COMMISSIONER DBRITT+DEFENDS HIS ACTION. Commissioner*Britt followed Mr. Ralston ina few words, saying that he had simply obeyed his own judgment and that he had been infu- ‘anced by no one. The idea was not a new one with him, for he reached the conclusion that it ‘was right six years ago. His action had been criticined because he was not @ taxpayer. Ho had, nevertheless, been duly elected, and he. ‘would do his duty’as he conceived it. He would never rescind action, especially after the late action of the opponents of the echemo in spplying for » writ of mandamus. COMMISSIONER LONG'S POSITION. Commiscioner Long said that he could add nothing to what had been said by his two asso- ciates and that he would neither resign nor rescind his action. Mr. Ralston then invited any one to address the meeting who felt 80 inclined, whether he opposed or favored the single tax idea. In snswer to the invitation Mr. L.H. Campbell Dennin idea and the meeting then adjourned. gate taoresiaaiaiee SOME SURPRISES. The Interesting Events of the Annual Regatta of the Columbia Athletic Club. ‘The regatta of the Columbia Athletic Club yesterday afternoon furnished some surprises in the result of the races. The fact was do- veloped that the junior crews are coming to the front as oarsmen and men of muscle and that the erstwhile champions of aquatic sports must ook well to their laurels, for strong arms are reaching out for them. Afair crowd was in attendance along the river front and {on the Aqueduct bridge to witness the sports, while the Columbia boat house balconies were crowded with the friends and admirers of the young athletes who were to take part. ‘Ihe male portion of the audience at the bout house stood on the float to watch the calling away of the boats and to talk sports and athletics.

Just before the first race started a murmur of admiration went through the crowd and all eyes were fastened on a couple of stalwart fel- lows who came down the float bearing betwocn them ashell.

JOSEPH CHERRY'S PROMISE. Joseph Cherry was the first prisoner locked up in the fourth precinct station, and it now Dears the name “Cherry prison.” Joo was in the procession as a vagrant and he promised to go to church and swear off for five years if the court would let him go. “That's a very good resolution,” said the court, “and I hope you will stick to it when you get out.” He was given thirty days, Jas. McNerbany, a printer whose appetite for trong drink is continually getting him in trouble, was tried for vagrancy. “I've beon sober for three months,” he said, “but yester- day I had no workand T went out and drank something.” He complained that the police were Preiudiced against him and that they arrested im on every occasion. A sentence of thirty days in default of bonds was given. ree colored girls, Alice Dillard, Mary Jones and Martha Wallace, were in the procession for being noisy in the vicinity of Louse alley about 12 o'clock last night. alice and Martha ad- mitted their gnilt and Mary stood tril. They were fined $5 or fifteen days each. Anthony Banks and Charles Jackson wero ar- ed for disorderly conduct. They plead ity and were fined 5 each. In default of they went down.

Harry Warfield, a small colored boy who amused himself with a bean shooter, was called for trial and he plead guilty to a charge of throwing missiles. “That's a dangerous practice,” said the court. “and every one arrested for the offense will be fined #5." Policeman Doyle complained against a colored boy named Richard Bell for alleged failure to ny @ produce dealer's license tax. ‘The poor yy said that he had 25 cents in his pocket yes- terday and he bought some cabbage in order to earn money enough to purchase a pair of shoes, Judge Harper said that Congress took some action in regard to the produce dealers’ Uicense tax, but he was not sure just what was done.

ALEXANDRIA, ‘THE MARKET SQUARE, ‘The improvement of Alexandria is reflected in the renovation of the city’s market property, which has been lately greatly bettered by paint- ing from the butchere’ market below and the city offices above to the tip of the town clock spire. With the new market pavilion not long finished within its area and the renewal of every part of the building the city hall is in better condition than ever before. This site was laid cut as the seat of the government of the town when the town was laid out, the two half-aere lots there being designated on the lat a Market Square” and left for public purposes. The place soon be- came the county ‘seat of Fairfax county, which was moved there in 1754 with the court house and jail, and remained there until 1791, The old “town house” was built on the northeast corner about 1760 and was occupied by the old board of trustees and by the mayor and council of the old corpgration until 1817 when the city building was put up on the Royal street sido and the common council rooms and city offices were removed there. Meanwhile the Friendship engine house had been placed on the square in 1774 and the Sun 86 in 1775. The old court house on the Fairfax street side torn down and a court house with market stalls beneath built on the north side in 1783 and a Masonic lodge on piers with a market beneath was built along- side the court house in 1801.
