THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. .Mareh 15, 1893. CROSBY 8. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR basa regular and permanent circalation in Washington three times larger than that efany ether paper in the city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- Medium it bas no competitor. Representatives of the Grand Army and of | b.cause of ite allowing unrestricted exemption of personal property from assessment and taxa- tion. On this latter point the opinion is most explicit, saying that as those who own build- ings, improvements aud personal property in | any of its various forme—as well intangible as | tangible—are equally protected in their posses- | sions and in their natural rights by the state and local governments with those who own the land, the support of these governments should | place no heavier charge upon the one than on | the other class of individuals. ‘This,” says the court, ‘“has been the uniform and consistent | principle always followed in Maryland. Emi- nently just in itself as a sound and long aceepted axiom of political economy, it has | been incorporated in her organic law since November 3, 1776; it has been upheld by her courts and tenaciously adhered to by her con- servative people.” ——_+-____ In the presence of » thoroughly representa- tive audience the Sanitary League of the Dis- trict of Columbia last night made its first bow tothe public. That it was well received is no the Capital of the Union advanced today | upon the Capital of the late confederacy | and their slogan was the old familiar | soldier cry: “On to Richmond.” They | ‘move, however, upon our neighboring city, not | im the terrifying panoply of war, but bear- ing gifte and fraternal, peaceful tokens. They go to make formal presentation of = ward which the G. A. R executive citizens’ committee of this city has fitted up for the use of disabled confederate veterans in Richmond, in recognition of the hearty hospi- tatities tendered Union veterans in Richmond on the occasion of the recent G. A. R. encampment in Washington. The event is another nail in the coffin in which sectional differences are buried. It is another reminder that the war over, and that south, north, east and west the flag of the Union floats over patriotic American citizens. ‘This movement “On to Richmond” is now reciprocated and will be so more and more notably by the counter movement from the south “On to Washington,” not under the | finally, that the act is actually unconstitutional | act of the legislature under which the authori- ties at Hyattsville were supposed to act gave | them no power to assess taxes on land values | alone, exempting, as the local suthorities do, all improvements from taxation; and, secondly, that even if the legislature had done so such act would be unconstitutional, because the bill of rights, article 15, says that any person holding property in the state ought to contribute his proportion for the sup- Port of the government “secording to his actual worth in real or personal property,” and leadership of Early or Stonewall Jackson, but | more than was expected, for the organization in peaceful march upon the capital of the re- | appeals forcibly to every good and progressive public. citizen. Clearly and with pleasing skill did Dr. ‘This is the city of the nation—the whole ma-! john §. Billings, U.S.A., present not only the tion. Every American is at home in it. No/biang of the organization, the delibera- Virginian can feel an alien sentiment toward | the city which Washington founded and which bears his illustrious name. No southerner can feel himself a stranger inthe city which southerners founded, pro- tected and loved, the city which numbers on the first page of its list of friends Wash- ington, Jefferson, Madison, Clay, Crawford, Calhoun and Jackson. He is here in the house of his forefathers, rich in associa- tions both joyful and pathetic, standing upon land in which he hasan interest and governed exclusively by the Union of which he is a part. ‘At Washington all Americans come together on equal terms with common interest. ‘The | west learns the east, the north the south and vico versa All’_~—ssections ~—_are bound more closely together. Prejudices are softened and gradualiy removed. National sentiment dominates, the American spirit is de- | veloped and patriotism is strengthened. In the national crucible sectional jealousies and hatreds are removed and the pure gold of American patriotiem remains. ——_>e-—___ ‘That democratic members of the national jegislature are not in accord with President | Cleveland's administrative ideas is a fact that has been evident for some days past. Old politicians have been growling in undertones, while some of the more recent additions to the gallery of statesmanship are beginning to think aloud im # generally anonymous but rather | vociferous manner. As yet no one has come | eut openly for the purpose of indulging in abuse, but some very xctive anti-Cleveland work seems to have been done inthe demo- cratic caucus which yesterday assigned the | chairmanships of senatorial committees and | made up the majority membership of these same organizations. Strenuous efforts by President Clevelanc’s friends were practically resultless. ‘The free-coinage idea is paramount in the com- | mittee on finance. althongh the President de- sired nothing more than an “‘honest-money” majority in*that emall but potent gathering, and there appears to be at least a non-Cleve- land sentiment in all the important committees. ‘This antagonistic condition is emphasized by the honors which were showered upon Senaior | Hill and Senator Murphy, both of whom have | achieved most of their prominence through displays of enmity toward the present chief magistrate. Senator Hill, in the new order of | things, becomes chairman of the committee on | immigration—than which few are of more real Smportance—and he also secures a place in the committee on the judiciary, that sanctum sanctorum of prominent Senators. The chair- manship of the committee on relations with ‘Canada now belongs to Senator Murphy, who is untried in national affairs, who contd not there- | fore have inspired his associates with confidence, aud who must have captured this prize through the activity of his chief—David Bennett Hill. | Other opponents of President Cleveland have | prospered, too. Senator Pugh is chairman of the committee on the judiciary, Senator Ran- som is at the head of the committee on com- merce and Senator Vance controls the eommit- tee on privileges and elections. The noncom- batant can view the strugzle with unconcern, but those who are deeply interested in the wel- fare of the democratic party are a trifle anx- ious—and with reason. ——__ + ++ —___. ‘When Congress at the clone of its last session gave the District of Columbia a liquor law it | also bequeathed to this unfortunate com-| munity several legal complications, but the difficulties are surely being exaggerated. With- out entering into any discussion of the some- what compler situation it may be proper to ask Who seek the removal of all restrictions can avoid being ridicalously illogical. It is claimed Dy those who secured licenses under the re- pealed law that the old law is alive and of full effect in so far as authority to sell liquor under their licenses is concerned, and yet that same law is declared to be dead when it is invoked to punish infractions of the regulations under ‘which the licenses were issued. It would seem tothe uninitiated that if there is vitality in that part of the repealed law which authorizes men to engage in the liquor trafic on condi- tions different from those required under the existing law there is also vitality in that part of the repealed law which regulates this authorized trafic and provides penalties for infractions. It will be a very extraordinary condition of affairs if the repeal can blow hot and cold at the same time, can destroy the old penalties but leave the old licenses untouched, can do away with every safeguard and restric- tiom provided for the benefit of the public and liquor conceded under the old law to the Meensed liquor dealer. It would seem, if the old law is cut up root and branch, with no ex- ceptions or qualifications whatsoever, that the suthority to sell liquor granted under it would be as worthless as the power to punish provided by it, and that if the authority to sell continues in spite of the repeal the restrictions in respect to the manner of sale mast also continue. —————— ‘There is great rejoicing in the camp of those who are opposed to the single-tax scbeme and corresponding depression in the ranks of Henry George's followers, for the Maryland court of appeals has decided that «tax upon land alone for the support of the state government or of ‘any part of it, or the government of any county or municipality is not in accordance with | ‘the provisions of the state constitution and cannot therefore be enforced. Hyattevilie will be especially interested in this conclusion, and | as Hyattsville is one of Washington's most extends into this city.

To di- minish the death-rate by inspection and educa- tion is to be the league's duty. Onevery hand there was evident appreciation of the organi- zation, and most of those who were present at the meeting promised to aid the reform in the most personal and practical fashion. The facts and figures presented by Dr. Billings are printed elsewhere in Tux Stan; they are emi- nently worth reading. ——_~oe—____ Gov. Murphy of Arizona, in bis biernial message, recommends that an effort be made to | secure the appropriation of a sufficient sum with which to construct a bridge across Salt , river. In view of the fact that a great host of | democrats are on the banks of that saline | stream, waiting to be pushed in by the Presi- dent for whom they voted, this proposition from a republican governor is most liberal. See age gg ‘The driver of one of New York’s 5th avenue stages bas been fined $25 because the horses attached to his vehicle were almost starved to death.
