To the Pastor of Tir Pvepine star Tssee it stated that the Postmaster General says he desires that the “people of the locality” should, in a measure at icast, decide the ques- tion of who shal! be candidates or appointed. ‘That sounds like good “home rule” doctrine, which nearly every member and public man of all parties has indorsed everywhere except the District of Columbic. Now, if he really wants the people to decide, why don't he iesue seireular or announce throtgh the press that the people of each locality should hold « prim- ary election and select the man they want? It would be « very tter, cost nothing and requires ne law to en ie it to be done. If it is settled that none but members of the dominant party are to be appointed, let it be so understood, and then, of course, only su would be voted for, and if oniy members of that party are to have @ voice in the matter, ther let that be announced also. wien, of course, all others would refrain.

Citizen George Francis Train for the second time during the week addressed his fellow citi- zens of Washington at Metzerott Music Hall Jast evening. Despite the unfavorable weather quite a large number were present, and for two hours enjoyed the remarkable utterances of the remarkable man. There could be no doubt that Citizen Tagin’s audience of lastevening were delighted both ith him and also with all he said, for his dis- course was punctuated here and there by in- quiries such as these: “How do you like m “Did you ever see anything like me before? “How does that sirike y The replies to these inquiries intormed Citizen Train that he was, among other things, “A daisy,” that they , “Never touched him.” that he was ‘*A lallah,” jand much other similar information, which Citizen ‘Train received with the greatest satis- n.

To Purchase the Finest Dwelling in the ce ity Where He Was Once a Slave. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Easton, Md., says: Frederick Dongiass, ex- minister to Hast, arrived in Easton this morn- ing. He left his satche! and some other belong- ings at the Hotel Avon, but did not register there. He came to Easton to negotiate with the owners for the purchase of The Villa, one of the most valaable and beautiful estates in Talbot county, situated on Miles river and Goldsborough creek. It is not known whether or not he effected the purchase. The magnifi- cent mansion house there was built by Col. Richard France at @ cost of $25,000.

Some years ago it was bought by Simeon Hrady of New York, who now lives there. Recently Mr. and Mrs. Brady conveyed the property to Mary E.S. Davis. widow, of Washington, D. C., and a day afterward it was conveved by her to Mrs. Brady. Ex-Minisier Douglass was called upon by a nuinber of the citizens ot Easton, who happened to tind ont he wax here.

The police are making a thorough investiga- tion of the alleged “speakeasies” and other tive committee of nine, appointed some time places where liqror is supposed to be sold in violation of the provisions of the new, liquor law, and several arrests will be made during the next twenty-four hours. In cases of persons charged with selling by the retail without @ license the court has announced that the bail be €1,000, an amount smaller than double the amount of the maximum penalty. Persons charged with this offense are not to be notified to appear for trial as was the case under the old law, but the officers have been instructed to serve the warrants the same as other writs are served and bring in the defendants, who can secure their reiease upon furnishing the bail stated. Several liquor raids have already been made by the police and the result is that haifa dozen warrants have been issued. Mk ONE HAD GIVEN & TIP, In one piace where the officers went to make a raid it is stated ome one gave the proprietor atip that they were coming, and when they reached the place they found a lady in charge and she welcomed them inside. ‘Their visit was a fruitiess one, for the liquor they thought was in the piace had been stored in the stable, and they were unable to procure any testimony against the proprietor. In another section of the city the officers suc- ceeded in getting information against the pro- prietor of a place where liquor has been sold in defiance of the law. His appiications were re- jected from time to time, and although the offi- cers brought persons fo-ward as witnesses they were never able to secure » conviction against the man. Now, the officers think, they will be able to make a case and eecure a conviction against bim. ‘MES.

The latter had met three swall colored boys who had come from the direction of the place, and one them had a bottle of whisky. The oflicer thought he would make a charge of seiling to minors against the proprictress, but he was unabie to do so, for the reason that the place was not licensed. ARRESTED THE BARTENDER, When the officer reached the place Mrs. Hennessy was not there and #0 he arrested the bartender, and took him to the Court on a charge of violating section 14 of the act, which provides “that any sisting in or aidingand abetting the violation of eny of the provisions of this act shall be guilty meanor, and on conviction thereof shall be fined not less than $50 nor more than 100 or be imprisoned in the District jail or work house for not more than one month for each and every anch offense.” When the case reached the Police Court Law- yer Sillers appeared as Jones’ counsel and de- manded a jury trial, He aaked the court to fix fhe bond in the ease, Mir.

Mr. Siliers made no objection to this course, and the court tixed the bond at $200. BAIL oF $1,000 DEYANDED. The officer swore out a warrant against Mrs. Hennessy, and when the case was called to the attention of the court Mr. John A. Clarke ap- peared as her counsel. He demanded a jury trial and the court fixed the bond at $1,000, which was given. Mr. Pugh then called Judge Kimball's atten- tion to a similar charge against Oscar Ganz. “This is the Sehuetzen Park Club case,” said Mr. Pugh, and $1,000 bond will be satisfactory to the District.” “Ihave made up my mind to fix the bond at $1,000 in these cases,” said Judge Kimball, ‘and that is the smount I'll fix in this case.” Mr. Tobriner appeared for Mr. Ganz, and it ted that the bond would be given during the cases will probably be placed on the as- signment for jury trials next week. _ NE SCORE. ppeared in Judge Kim- balls Court Today. ‘There was exactly one score of prisoners in the Police Court ceils this morning, and while the males were in the majority there were sev- eral females among them.

A great punch bowl and its burden sent mation of the proposed exchange is now acknowledged to be not only a matter of great convenience, but also one of absolute necessity. At the present time the commission merchants of the District are unorganized and have been for some fifteen years. Their number during that time has increased toa wonderful extent, and so has their business, Being without an organization it has become possible for not only bogus dealers to im- Pose upon them and the buying public, but the shippers have also been thereby placed at the merey of impostors. Prices have varied ac- cording to the desires or pu of indi- vidual merchants, and consequently it has been practically impossible to establish fixed prices for even a day at a time. Hence ship- & great loss to as certain prevailing price for their goods. and in that way the opportunities for swindling them by dishonest or bogus dealers have been possible. Then, too, because of their lack of organiztion the merchants have been placed at considerable disadvantage through their inability to present an unanimous (demand when requesting certain matters of Congress and the District authorities.

The exchange, through daily offer- ings and calls, will be enabled to regulate the prices, and futures will also be dealt in. ous committees will be appointed, such as on legislation, freight rates an | and an organization perfect as possible will be maintained. TO PREVENT UNLICENSED DEALERS. One of the objects of the proposed exchange will be to prevent the engaging in business of unlicensed dealers, a number of whom are said | to be now engaged here. A movement will also | be made against those who sell oleomargarine | without the proper heense and who also sell as butter. There will be done, of course, nothing against those dealers’ who sell oleomargarine properly labeled and under the necessary revenue license, but the move- ment will simply be made to enable the pub- lie to know at all times just what they are buying. It is asserted that a co siderable amount of _ eleomargarine now being daily sold by unscrupulous dealers, unlicensed and unlabeled, with the statement that it is butter. The purpose of those opposed to such practices is not to pre- but simply to enable the public to know at ali times what is being bought. AROUND THE MARKET. Mr. Ordway Makes ® Proposition About the Public Space. Gov. N. G: Ordway, president of the Wash- ington Market Company,* appeared before the Vommissioners this afternoon by appointment to present a plan for the cleaning of the spaces occupied by the wholesale farmers on the south side of B ‘street between 7th and 12th streets northwest by the market company. He sub- mitted the following letter: | “I bave noticed by the daily papers that the question of regulating and cleaning the side- alks and portions of the streets used by persons selling market products from wagons has been under consideration and reported | } upon by Lieut, Amis with the suggestion that the streets and avenues within the city limits adjacent to the Center market specified in | the market company’s charter and othor and ordinances be placed under the supervision of — the Washington | Market Company for the purpose before named, provided that the market company would make proper regulations for the accom- modation of actual producers and haulers of fresh garden and farm products, and would | see to it that the sidewalks and streets, wher- ever occupied by such haulers, were cleaned” daily, and in consideration of such su- pervision and cleaning the collectors of the market company should be authorized to collect from each wagon to which space was assigned a sum not exceeding 15 cents for each single team and 2% cents for exch double team for each market day and night occupied by any such hauler. “Lf the substance of the foregoing statements mect the approval of your honorable board, the market company would undertake the servi subject to the laws of Congress and or nances provided that the work house carts shall, as heretofore, draw off the sidewalk jand "street offal after being swept into | piles three times a week-—namely. Tuesdays, ‘Thursdays and Saturdays after market bours— and provided, further, that space may be as- sigued either on the south side or on the north side of B street sufficient to park the teams of the dealers occupying stalls in the south ends of the 7th and 9th street wings of the Center market. and that the market company shall also find site the north halves or ends of the 7th and %th street wings for parking tl teams absolutely necessary for the dealers such halves of these two wings to hold in read: ness to deliver marketing sold to their custom- ers during market hours, and that after such assignments have been made the shall be instructed to prevent the parking | | | said purposes along the west side of 9th street | wing or the sast side of the 7th street | and discharge products to or from any «tall- | holder in either of anid wings. The suggestion in regard to changing the place for parking the teams heretofore parked or backed up to the | sidewalks on the west side of 7th street and the east side of 9th street is made with a view of enabling the patrons of the market and the general public to | and repass on the west side of 7th and east side of 9th street between the car tracks and the curbs during market hours, and approach those sides of the market in safety with the Dest class of carriages, instead of baving this jclass of patrons of the market and the public practically shut off from |the “use of one-half of each of j these streets, since the street rnilronds have occupied such a large portion of ‘tne middie of the streets named, “The | officers of the Center Market Company took | upon themselves the responsibility turing the {warm season of 1892 of incurring quite a large expense by removing with the com- pany's own teams, when the dealers were not required to remove fish and other offal, a | Yery large amount of garbage and other offens- live matwr, during the early hours of each morning, and it is their earnest desire to have such an equitable agreement and under- standing with the District authorities during the coming warm season as will make thix mammoth market, which is constantly being enlarged and improved by ali modern appli- ances, the most accessible, best supplied and dest managed retail market in the country. In pany realizing the unsightly condition in which the park in front of the market has been left since the inauguration ccremonies with gaps of the iron fence left open in several places, submit the proposition that the | officers of the market company will put the ‘fence in order and cause the park to be raked over, holes filled up, and take charge of this District ground, and it in order without expense to the District, provided the tree commission be required to remove the un- necessary limbs and trim the trees in accord- _ with o usage in trimming = trees streets and parks in differ parts ot the city, and whenever. the* Commis: sioners give the order to increase the parking at the 9th street end of the r to what has been done on the 7th end, with so much acceptance | the market company will | required to the change similar to the made on the 7th street end.” Vari- | other similar ones, | vent or discourage the sale of oleomargarine, | ce on the market grounds oppo- | police | this connection the officers of the market com- | inspiration to all the corners of the table.
