What promised to be serious railroad troubles, having their origin in diffi- culties between employers and employed at Ann Arbor, Mich., have been settled, and the men are all at work and apparently satisfied. An investigating committee of the Minnesota legislature discovered the existence of & coal combine in that state and found out that the combine fixes prices and bovcotts all dealers who deviate from the adjusted figures. Just now the combination is endeavoring to secure from the committee the return of certain books, of which the committee recently gained posession, but which the committes says it will bold until ail the extremely interesting facts contained therein have been placed before the public eye. People who imagined that the republican party died in November last were somewhat surprised to read in the papers a cuil for the annual con- vention of the Republican National League to meet at Louisville on May 10.

There seems to be uo real- | ization of the great, stirring fact that the city proper is destined to occupy the entire terri- tory known as the District of Columbia, and | tbat federal interests will only be limited by the | bounds of the reservation donated by the state | of Maryland. Already the property holdings | of the general government outside of the city | are large; they are destined to increase, and | there is no shadow of equity in congressional recognition of an imaginary line set up a cen- tury ago to separate the city from the sur- rounding land without the borders of Maryland.

One law governs the entire District. | There is but one police force, and all the other | agencies of municipal goverument are equally supreme. ‘The District pays dearly for ridding itself of | the miserable tangle of irregular thoroughfares that disgrace the borders of the city.
