Of these things and their concomi- tants Washington knows practically nothing.

In the executive sense we are governed by the corporation is tearing down and building up with all possible rapidity. ——_+-++—_____ If the expressions of the great majority of those who spoke in the General Assembly this morning under the “three-minute” rule is indicative of the final judgment of the Assembly, there is little doubt that Dr. Briggs or his teachings, or both, will be condemned by the Assembly. Among those who spoke today only about one in ten spoke in favor of not sustaining the | ‘The sentiment that prevailed was that the faith had to be preserved intact against such do- structive doctrines, as it was alleged, Dr. Briggs has taught What form the judgment of the assembly is to take, whether Dr. Briggs is to be deposed from the ministry, or suspended from the exercise of his ministerial office until he recants his alleged heresies, remains yet to be determined. There was little doubt, however, that in the minds of a majority of tho gathering Dr. Briggs had convicted himself of heresy by his own argument. Here aud there in the assembly were men who pleaded for a broader view of the standards of the church, one that would admit such utterances as those of Dr. Briggs, and that would not Tegard it as absolutely essential to the faith that aman should not doubt that Moses wrote the Pentatench, but it was evident that such senti- ment did not meet with favor among the President of the United States, who acts, ass rule, thzough three appointed Commissioners, generally men of unquestioned probity. The Sun says that, “as the city has few industries and very little local wealth, the assumption by the nation generally of the big deficit fm its annual running expenses has some decided advantages.” There is no deficit. Under the terms of a * congressionally made agreement, which this city could do nothing other than accept, it was decided that ‘the general government should appropriate annuslly from the national purse one-half of ‘the District expenditures, the other half being aised by taxation in the District; an equitable grrangement in view of the obligations pesumed by the government when five sevenths of the original site of the city were donated to {t, and in view of the fact that it still owns one- half of the area of the capital and this half pa, no taxes. But Congress has violated the spirit of this contract on more than one occasion. Instead of duplicating the amount raised by 4axation Congress shaves the estimates down to the lowest possible figures, appropriates the gmallest amount it thinks the District can exist ‘apon and epplies the large and locally contrib- ted surplus to the payment of a debt incurred polely by the general government when it pro- @eeded to construct » brown-paper aqueduct funnel that never did anything but cost 2,000,- G00. —_——_-e-_____ ‘The new liquor law was passed in spite of its gonceded imperfections in order that the Dis- frict might have some enforceable law upon which to depend. The city's complaimt after the decision in the Naa case was that no cer- ain law regulating the sale of liquor, backed fpy s penalty to insure its enforcement, ex- fated fn the District of Columbia, and Con- gress was implored to pass something, or any- ‘thing in the shape of a law to meet this keenly- Zelt want.

Its first ‘@ffect was to knock the few remaining fragments of peualty backbone out of the old law, under tthe decision that the old penalties could no Jonger be enforced; and it is now virtually fontended that the repealing and penalty elanses of the new law do not themselves be- tome operative until nest November. —_—__+e+2—___ Near the intersection of Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue is « fountain which, years ago, was presented to this city by a man whose motives could not have been otherwise than good. Spasmodic efforts have been made to supply the thirsty with water that, during the summer days, should be palatably ool, but most of them failed utterly within a day or two. It would seem fa though this neglected fountain offered a great opportunity to those good people who so forcibly and persistently advocate total absti- mence from intoxicating liquors. An ample supply of pure and chilly water, dispensed without money and without price, will do much for tho cause of temperance. is ‘Tho position of the world’s fair eoncession- ssiro who has a man arrested for using camera 4s a good deal like that of the court who has a Chinaman up for non-registration.

After admitting that the line-marking commis- sion appointed by the Secretary of War has no Present power to check the vandalism, the ‘Inquirer proceeds to support the stand Taz Braz took when the matter was first laid before the public, viz, that the primary remedy is in the hands of the state. The Inquirer suggests ‘that whaterer mghts the trolley com- pany enjoys bave been acquired from the ewners of the Innd and were probably well paid for, but there was nothing in the transfer that affected the right of the state to exercise its prerogative of eminent domain, and it may now secure possession of across section of land running from east to west, from the ‘Union line to the confederate tine, and thus head off the trolley company by cutting its line in two parts, thus making the operation of ‘the road impossible. “It is evident,” says our eotemporary, “that the state of Pennsylvania and not the United States government must be looked to for any adequate action. The gov- ernment does not appear to have any rights in the matter. The state, by its expenditure of $500,000 and by its legislation, has encouraged other states to spend large sums of money at majority, who considered that a crisis had arisen in which they must act decidedly or else cut the old Presbyterian ship forever loose from its moorings, ——_+++____ The damage done a little girl ‘bicyclist yester- day evening by a careless wheelman ouce more directs attention’ to a variety of traffic which, in this city at least, is practically uncontrolled.

Tur Presentation to each visitor of a handsome card or fancy article would be far less expensive souvenirs of these “ “Opening” occasions, though to the non- thinking they may appear otherwise. However, the fittest only survive. Those who erstwhile attracted with these trivial souvenirs have bowed to populer ncn-appreciation, © But the souvenirs of tho Palais Royal ccrasions hav grown 80 in favor year by year that this, the fifteenth “Opening” of Summer Furnishings, is chronicled in the news columns of the papers ss an event of passing interest. Tare tist ot souventos is boins duly appreciated by regular patrons. It isonly necessary to inform late residents that *‘the list" contains the plain, unvarnished truth. And truth often neods explanation, For instance, when you learn that ‘the Palais Royal's 4e Waiste are reduced to 40c, you may think the reduction = petty one, not worthy of record. But, when you understand that these Waists are modeled after Fisk , Clark & Flagg’s expensive novelty waist, when you discover they are made of superior figured Percale and Lawns, and when you further learn the Prevailing Price ts 76 cents you know that 49 cents is so low « price that a farther reduction of three cents is really great though apparently small. Taene are some items we witl not place on the list of souvenirs, because the prices seem too wonderful for delie Buch are the Btriped India Silks at 30c in- stead of 6Sc yard and the Figured Silks at 40c instead of $1 yard. Of conrse these are supplementary to regular stock—a meteor-like souvenir, that is gone before the slow-going are aware of its existence.
