Judge Kimball Makes Some Remarks on the Subject of Rallroad Obstructions. The steam railroad grade crossings were dis- cuseed in the Police Court this when Superintendent McKeever of the Baltimoreand During the discussion it was stated that com- plaints had been made by the cable and belt line street railroads, but the witnesses who ap- a today gave testimony that was too in- nite.

Judge Kimball seid Belted tows of cone where it was absolutely le to names of trainmen and he had given ‘the ome cers instructions to bring in the superintendent. Mr. McKeever that such was not the case with the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, as he said he never has refused to give the names to the officers, Judge Kimball ‘said that the instance to which he referred was on the Baltimore and Ohio road, and theonly name that could be learned was Sam. ‘The judge further said that in these cases when the engineers or conductors are brought in they make a poor mouth, say they get a small salary and have a large fomily, but now they have been warned and the courts wanted them to know that such a plea in the future will not | Stving be an excuse for leniency. the superintendent is brought in and convicted, said the judge, the court could im- pose a = adequate to the offense, and he was thorougBly satisfied that the company would Pay the fine, although with the engineers and conductors they say that the fines come out of “The sooner the tracks are put either over- head or underground,” said the court, “the sooner it will be better for all parties con- cerned.” In conclusion the court said that in this case the testimony was too vague and indefinite. and there was so much uncertainty about it that he Would have to dismiss the cbarge.

Well, there is great apathy in the republican ranks, and I believe that the republican vote will be unusually light, and I hope that we shall make a good showing, at least in the matter of democratic Congressmen.” Ex-Congressman Finerty, who has been speaking tn New York state, says the situation has improved greatly. ‘In Syracuse alone,” he said, “I found more than 1,000 Irish repub- licans.* “What do you think of the effort that is ing made to capture the Irish vote in New York for the republicans?” “It is not a question of capturing the Irish vote. It is coming into the republican ranks in great numbers. The frieh-Americans are strong for Harrison and protection. ‘They have no toleration for free trade doctrines.” “Do you think Mr. Blaine’s speech will & material effcet upon the Irish vote?” “Undoubtedly, Everywhere that I have been there has been ‘constant inquiry among Irish~ Americans as to whether Mr. Biaine would during the campaign, and I have no doubt that his appeal to the Irish voters will be very effective.” Auditor Lynch is equally confident about the colored vote.

Therefore it appears that the question of whether October 21 {sa logal holiday hinges upon that portion of section 993 which says: “‘And any day appointed or recommended by the President of the United States aaa day of public fast or shankagiving. 2 ‘The question is, does the President's proc- Jamation set apart this day as ‘‘a day of public fast or thanksgiving.” THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION. The President's proclamation appoints ‘“Fri- day, October 21, 1892, the four hundredth anni- versary of the discovery of America as a gen- eral holiday for the people of the United states,” and among other things lays the fol- lowing injunction upon the people, which, it claimed, makes the day one of “thanksgiving. “In the churches and in the other places of assembly of the people let there be expressions of gratitude to Divine Providence for the devout of the discoverer and for the divine care and guidance which has directed our history ‘and so abundantly blessed our people." The controller's office will not make any de- cision upon the question. It will be left for the banks to decide for themselves, the controller's office not interfering in one way or another. It 4s informally suggested, however, that each bank take the proper steps to look’ out for its own paper maturing October 21. Inquiries have been received from banks in other cities to the same effect, but the control- ler’s office has invariably declined to rule upon the question upon the ground that the con- troller is not a law officer. NOT FOR POLITICAL REASONS. excl Acting Attorney General Aldrich_on Judge Anderson’s Resignation. In apublication this morning Judge Anderson is quoted as complaining that his resignation as judge of the supreme court of Utah before the expiration of his term was forced from him be- cause he was a democrat. The attention of Acting Attorney General Aldrich was called to the matter today by a Stam reporter. Judge Aldrich said: “T have seen Judge Anderson's statement as to the cause of his resignation. It is not usu- ally the practice of the department to make public the reasons inducing such action as was taken in Judge Anderson's case. If the judge desires it, however, I presume the Attorney General will consent to the publica- tion of the letters written by the judge, and confessed by him in his interview with’ the Attorney General, ns well aa other mattera ro- flecting upon his character, now on file in this department. Isuggest that Judge Anderson juest the publication of the files in the case, and after such publication if Mr. Harrity, tho chairman of the democratic central committes, will advise the President that he . regards him afit man to filla judicial position I have no doubt the President will give his recom- mendation proper consideration. “T willadl i? thers was vac '@. ots iu our history which called for the prompt retirement | of a judicial officer that case, in my opinion, is Judge Anderson's, and any attempt to give it political character cannot be successful, a such charges are wholly without foundation.” eticbe saz FOUND DEAD IN HIS STABLE. ‘The Tragic End of the Life of an Old Citizen of Washington. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer had a sad death to investigate today. The deceased was Mr. Chas. F. F. Rosenthal, an old and highly respected citizen, who for many years had lived at No. 230 R street northwest. Himself and his wife were the only members of the family. Some Years ago he retired from active business. This morning before breakfast time he went out to the stable to feed and clean his horse, a8 he was going away from home later in the day to attend to some business of importance concerning a real estate trans- action. He remained in the stable some time anda few minutes after 8 o'clock his wife went out and called him to breakfast. As be made no response she went to the stable and found his dead body beneath the horse. Mr. Bates, her neighbor. called in, joved the animal. There were no signs bout the man’s body except that it was warm. ‘An examination of the deceased revealed a hole through the corner of his left eye and also acut on the back of the head. Blood had flowed freely from the wounds and stained the horse's bedding. The body was, taken in the house and pre- xd for burial by Undertaker Fred. Spindler.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THE CONDEMNATION OF LAND FOR STREETS. The assistant attorney for the District today transmitted to the Commissioners an interest- ing opinion relative to the condemnation of land for street purposes when no money is available to pay damages, and the propriety of making such a condemnation where the individ uals specifically benefited offer to pay the damages. The case lupon which the opinion is based is that of the petition of H. E. Davis and others for the condemnation of M street north- east. Mr. Thomas holds that the petition should be denied. The law, be says, comprehends that when a proceeding of this kind is instituted the ublic authorities have public money enough on and to pay damages. He cites the case of the Blake heirs against the Commissioners, which involved the widening of Columbia road. In this case it wus held by the Supreme Conrt of the District that the Commissioners were with- out jurisdiction to institute the proceedings when they had not the money to pay for the land taken. He says he doubts the propriety of those specially benefited paying the damages, as it gives the appearance of a taking of pri- vate pore ae the benefit of private indi- viduals, and private property cannot be taken for private use, even on compensation being rendered. ° COUNTY TAXES DUE IN MAY. Some time ago the assessor for the District requested the Commissioners to obtain from the attorney for the District an opinion as to whether the taxes outside of Washington and Georgetown would become due and payable in moieties in November and May next or the entite amount in May. The assistantattorney for Thomas, ia his opinion submitted today says that the provision in the act of Congress making the whole of the taxes for the part of the District outside of Washing- ton and Georgetown due and payable on May 1, 1893, and the clause in the sundry civil bill providing that the taxes for 1893 shall be levied and collected on the basis of the assessment of 1889 are not inconsistent, as the assessor thinks. One relates to the time of pay- ment of county taxes arid the other to the basis of assessment. His opinion is that the whole of the county taxes will be due and payable ‘May 1, 1893.

The clement of uncertainty is greater in the in Indiana this year than ever before in the political history of the state. There are | ‘two reasons for this. The first is the unknown ‘strength of the people's party, and this is caus- ing the managers of the two leading parties more uneasiness than anything else, because they absolutely cannot satisfy themselves as to what that strength will be or from what ranks it will draw, and the second is the general apathy which hus been so palpably in evidence among the rank and file of both the demo- cratic and republican parties. The enthusiasm | of former years exists only as a reminiscence. There have beon really few notable political demonstrations, and until last week the meet have cop ene oe + ; sure, are full of politics, but the peopl ee le are not Two ago republicans, that must be ‘done, robin bring some of their speakers of national re- nown into the campaign here. The first of was Senator Frye of Maine, who spoke here last Friday night and since then at other pointe in the state. Hie meeting here was the only really large and enthusiastic gathering the republicans have thus far had. On the 2th instant both Whitelaw Reid and Chauncey M. w will be here, and it is the intention to e this the demonstration of the campaign, 80 far as the capital city is concerned. democrats have had only one “big gun” here and he was candidate Stevenson. The democrats have had two big barbecues— one at Peru, the other at Shelbyville—where many thousand people congregated, ar they | bod! sic always do on these occasions Fears are made a conspicuous feature of the democratic campaign in Indiana. Now they are doing everything they can to get Bourke . here for they believe he will cause a greater demonstration than any other man in ry ie exceptionof Mr. Cleveland hima oie In contrast with this condition of affairs in both the leading parties it can be said that, so far as noise and outward evidences of entbusi- ‘asm are concerned, both the people's party and probibitionists have been more successful than either the democrats or republicans. But noise does not always change votes and enthusiasm is not always an indication of a party's strength. So far as organization is concerned all the ties are fairly well in hand. Neither demoprate nor the republicans have any great amount of campaign funds and their organization is suffering on this account. There will be little ground this year for the charge that is made in every national campaign in this state, that this party or the other is buy- ing votes. Asa matter of fact, that evil has never been so general in Indiana as many peo- le believe. With the Australian election law in operation, there is little opportunity for the illegitimate expenditure of money, and the far more potent factor in preventing it is the fact that neither party has the money to spend and in not likely to get it. The claims of party leaders are not always trustworthy, but if they are honest claims, based on known facts, they are valuable in forming comprehensive idea of tho existing condition of affairs. The statements which follow are based on the opinion and knowledge of men who are in w position to know what ther are talking about and who are so fair-minded as not to allow their political prejudices to highly color their honest opinions. Not one PeTvon alone has been interviewed, but « num- of representative men of each party, THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK. Up to within the past two weeks the republi- cans have been conducting a very quiet cam- Paign Four yeara ago when Gen. Harrison ich each four P mney from Indiana the state was fairly ablaze from the day he was nominated at Chicago until after the returns were in and the result known in November. Delegations from ery county in the state poured into Indian- apolis with daily regularity, carrying miniature Jog cabins, live coons and other emblems of the party, reminiscent of the campaign of Tippe- Canoe. The streets of Indianapolis fairly swarmed with rustic Hoosiers from June until November, So far this year there has been a marked ab- sence of anvihing of this character, but the reason for this is to be found in the absenge from the state of the President at his post of @uty in Washington and the additional fact thiit the party fuirly exhausted itself with ef- forte of this character four yeare ago. But the party leaders claim that the feeling among the republicans is just as earnest and the determination to win quite as great this Year asin the cam) of 1888, although it is vociferously manifested. Republican speakers everywhere, they say, are having ex- cellent nteetings, and while, perhaps, the cheers with which their oratory is received are lesa noisy than they were in the last campaign the tare none the less indicative of uatisfaction with the business conditions and with the achiove- ments of the Indiana man’s administration. The republicans contend that there is no sub- stance to the claim of the democracy that there is a widespread soreness against the President, growing out of political disappoint- ment; but, on the contrary, that there is ebundant indication that Harrison is stronger in his party today than ever before. The small coterie of =prople who are sald to be fighting him at Fort Wayne occupied the same attitude toward his candidacy in ‘88, and the republi- can state committee assert with confidence that the President's vote in Allen county, in which Fort Wayne is located, will be greater than it was before. ‘There has been a very heavy incrense in the portation of that t portion of Indians known as ‘gas belt,” and this increase, it is claimed, heavily republican. ‘The ‘glass and iron works, the tin plate millsand other industries which have been established in large numbers in the counties of Madison, Grant, Howard, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock and ‘Jay have drawn their equipment of workingmen very largely from states of Pennsylvania and Ohio, those from the first named pre- dominating, and the leaders are confident that & majority of these favor a protective policy and will vote the republican ticket. For in- stance, Madison county, which has hitherto given a democratic majority of 700 and upward, is confidently claimed by the republicans this year, and their poll shows their claim to be well founded. : ‘The tax law enacted by the last democratic legislature is also being worked for all it is worth. The republicans are flooding the state with documents which show that the state debt has been increased during the democratic rule in the state from less than $5,000,000 to more than $9,000,000; that the state is annually bor- rowing $800,000 with which to pay the interest on this debt, and that under present conditions there is no probability of any amelioration of affairs. Under the tax | legislature the republicans taxes of property holders have been increased from 15 to 60 per cent, and even more in some localities. larly among the Germans and small farmers this is having its influence, ‘and the democrats are forced to spend much time in explaining how this has all been brought about, but when one's pocket book is affected one doesn't care much for the reason for it, expecially amoug the class of people above re- ferred to.

It has always been a dem- ‘cratic state and the republicans only carried it in 1888 through the wholesale use of money. This year votes cannot be purchased outright and money can only be used to hire men to ab- stain men from voting, but this method of lle warfare will not be so effective as the ‘blocks-of-five’ eystem. To make it effective they will have to use $20 where they used $10 four yeareago. The canse of this is the Aus- tralian ballot law. I do not believe that all the money raised by tho nati carry Indiana this year.” Said a member of the Democratic committee: “As a rule, the democrats base their faith upon the fact thas Harrison carried the «tate by only 2,300 in 1888.. The republican party wax then united. Judge Gresham was quietly ad- vising his followers to save the «tate, fo event of defeat he would be held responsible. Such prominent men as John W. ex-chairman of the republican state com 4 ex-Attorney General Baldwin, William Dudley Foulke and ex-Atte General Williamson, who are now stumping the state for Cleveland, were ardent supporters of Harrison four years | ago: Capt. White of Fort Wayne, who is oppos- | ing Harrison's election this vear, sacrificed wh chances for re-election to Congress fe years ago in behalf of Harrison: Gov. Hovey nd Corporal Tanner spoke in every county and plastered the state two feet thick, to use the corporal's expression, with promises to the old soldiers of service pensions, in the event of Harrison's election. A few days ago Tanner in an authorized interview said that more than 2,800 democratic soldiers voted for Harrison upon these promises. Then the state was full of disappointed democratic office seekers and full of enthusiastic republican workers, who anticipated fat jobs in the event of success. Nearly every man who hada band shaking quaintance with Gen. Harrison expected an office. Money was sent in from other states and the local republicans raised over $200,000, and with all these combinations of strength Harrison only carried Indiana by 2,300 plu- rality. “The republicans bank on a gain of 3,000 in the gas belt, but they expected such a gain two years ago and they made noiucrease. The dem- Ocrats of the gas belt say that for every skilled workman brought to the state, three Unskilled workmen have followed. For every man re- ceiving $3 to $5 a day there are three common laborers emploved who receive $1.25 to €1.50 per dar. The most the republicans can guin is , and that is from the importation of Belgian glass blowers.” THE POPULISTS’ CAMPAIGN. The people's party entered the campaign under favorable circumstances, but the organ- ization has not been able to bold together: There has been alack of organized direction, and there bas been a scarcity of money. It is ‘said that the committee has not been able to collect more than $500 with which to carry on the state campaign. Within the last three weeks the party bas been disintegrating, and the general opinion is that the vote will not be as large as the managers of the party thought it would two months ago. However, the new party has made a vigorous campaign in some arts of the state. Leroy Templeton, the farmer candidate for gorertor, has been xpeak- ing almost every day for two’ months and his face has become familiar to the farmers in nearly every county in the state. Mr, Temple- ton says be will be disappointed if he does nat receive 50,000 votes. ‘The party is strong in spots, and it so hap- pens that these spots are nearly all in demo- cratic counties. In Allen county it is strong and in Clay county there will be a large vote for the party. Gibson county is also strong and there are but & few of the strong democratic southern coun- ties that will not return a considerable vote. The new election law does not provide the watchers representing the new party in the election room, and the party managers say they will not be surprised if many of the party's Votes are not counted by the election officers of the two old parties. THE SAXGUINE PROMIBITIONISTS. Four years ago the prohibitionists cast 9,881 votes in Indiana; two years ago they bad over 13,000. The claim is now made by Secretary Shiel of the state committee that this year they will cast 25.000 votes. A more conservat ‘estimate, and doubtiess the one nearer correct, is that they will have from 15,000 to 18,000 votes, and it is safe to assume that two-thirds of them will come from the republicans, Capt. E. F. Ritter, who presided over the Cincinnati convention that nominated Bidwell ‘and Cranfill, and who has been making speeches allover the state, says: “It is remarkable how the party has grown. We have really been making better mectings than either of the old parties. The Rev. Aaron Worth has been mak- ing a wonderful canvass. He has been twice a day for nearly three months and every- where he has been greeted with large crowds. The prohibition party has the best organization in Indiana today. re is not a single locality in the state in which we have not some one we can communicate with.” SOME CAMPAIGN PRATURES, ‘The republicans are receiving some help from Washington. L. T. Michener, ex-chairman of the state committee, and at present the partner of Col. W. W. Dudley, has been here getting things in shape. D.M. Ransdell, marshal of the District of Columbia, has been here fora week, and will remain until after the election. Itis evident that he has taken avsolute charge of certain details at ee competes. He has had enough experi- ence in politics to make his services of value.
