The esti- mated revenue from the tax is placed at $30,000,000—just about the same amount as — will, so Senator Voorhees asserts, be left over at the end of the fiscal year. Why, then, should this country be annoyed by the most inquisitorial of all the methods of raising revenue? What excuse is there for the enactment of the most offensive If Senator represents so vociferously desire to pile up an annual surplus in the treasury, why do they not lelays, om ac-| add one dollar per barrel to the internal rsonal absence, letters to} revenue tax on beer?

We ——— Remnant Day, Tomorrow, Friday, April 6. Each week brings our Remnant Day to a faller fruition. At all times they are intersting and Profitable, but tomorrow's promises to be somewhat beyond the usual. Every department in the house is this week going to make a special effort to close out all odd lots and small quantities and short lengths and everything that cau be called a remnant. It goes without saying that this cannot be done without making very low prices. Therefore, no matter how desirable the article or bow low {ts former price, it will be marked at perhaps the least price ever given a remnant. Very few of the remnants can be advertised, but with this general knowledge hundreds of shrewd buyers will, Friday, naturally look them up at our counters. In the Cotton and Wool Dress Goods Depart- ments you'll find many useful lengths of this season's best, marked at @ balf, in some instances hearer @ quarter, the former price. Short lengths of Linens, Ribbons, Laces, Embroideries, Dec- &e., Street and New Hampshire avenue, and that this road and the Mt. Vernon electric oad should have the same locality for their ferry buildings and the same route into the All these roads should be kept off the reclaimed flats. Both the War Department and the Commissioners have now indicated the foot of E street as the proper point for the steam ferry landings. In the case cf the Mt. Vernon road the removal of their landing the short distance from the flats to the foot of E street, and the crossing of the city along EH to i7th street, as now recommended by the Commissioners, will remove apparently every substantial ground ef opposition to the construction of the foad, and enable the corporation to ac- complish what it desires without damaging the public interests. The flats route and ferry landing proposed by the road violate the principle that It is essential to the capital's material prosperity that its parking system, which rénders it so attractive among American cities, shall be protected with jealous and scrupulous care against every encroachment. The gift of a river frontage on the flats violates the prin- ciple that public property should not be ap- propriated without compensation for private purposes. If the road crosses the flats it must use a thousand feet of overhead trolley until the ground settles, or until Congress at some indefinite time in the future refuses to grant an extension of time for this removal. This use of the overhead trolley involves a Suspension or abrogation of the law against overhead wires in ,the city at the very time when, in view of the pressure of the trolley combine, it is essential to the public welfare that the law be consistently and scrupulously maintained and enforced, and it adds a new and powerful ally to che ccm- bine in the latter’s effort to overthrow the law entirely, and introduce the overhead trolley in all parts of the city. If the road, instead of crossing the new-made ground, enters at the foot of E street, the overhead trolley will not be necessary, and the wire tan, at that point, enter a conduit. There are other public advantages in re- quiring the road to pass as a street car line over defined streets, serving the local public, instead of passing swiftly over the flats and performing no local street car service at all, but the considerations al- ready suggested seem to be sufficient to completely sustain the Commissioners’ con- tention that these corporations can and should accomplish what they desire without invading the flats or damaging seriously the public welfare. ——_ +++____ Tomorrow moraing the Senate committee on the District of Columbia will give pri- mary end perhaps final consideration to the momiration of Charles H. J. Taylor of Kan- Sas, to be Recorder of Deeds for the Dis- triet ef Columbia. The committee is this city’s board of aldermen, and is charged with the important duty of caring for the best interests of the community. Rarely indeed does it fail to act in accord with the Fational popular will, and it is therefore not to be supposed that its action on the Tay- lor nomination will be other than adverse. The trpropriety of the appointment is as marked as ts the unfitness of Mr. Taylor to hold not only the Recordership of Deeds, but any other federal office. The position imto which President Cleveland desires to fierce his colored Kansas political creditor belongs to the people of the District of Co- lumbia; they support the office by the fees they pay for the recording of real estate transactions, and they are unquestionably Teasonable in contending for the nomina- tion of a resident. The party of which Grover Cleveland is at least the nominal head has declared in favor of strict appli- tation of the home rule principle te the matter of appointments, and it seems highly improbable that other conspicuous members of that same party—members of the Senate District com mittee—will be as careless of their pledges as the President has been. Of the republican members of the committee nothing is expected but a negative vote; there is no reason why they should assist a democratic President in his effort to treat unjustly the quarter million f people who, being voteless, are regarded as safe beings to kick at; the republican Platform has a home rule plank in it which should bind every republican Senator. But aside from the objection that Mr. Taylor is ® non-resident there is at least one other reason why he should not be confirmed. It has been stated in The Star, and there will be no difficulty whatever in substantiating the anrouncement, that Mr. Taylor en- deavored to secure local support in his can- vass by offering to turn over the entire Patrorage of the office to a well-known Congress to argue their sitle of the case; their careworn, sunburnt faces have never been seen in the poriieus or in the hur- ried, heated, anxious haunts of unhal- lowed avarice; their hard, toil-worn hands are not grasped or felt in salutation a: we struggle through way-laying crowds from committee rooms to the door of the Senate.” Can it be possible that the repre- sentatives of the brewing interests were in the multitude of which the Senator speaks? ——~++>—__—_ It is pleasing to note that the offer made by the Metropolitan Traction Company of New York—of $50,000 for a traction system superior to the trolley system—has aroused the competitive spirit in corporations that have been engaged in loudly declaring the superiority of the overhead trolley. Who that has heard the pleasing persuasiveness of agents of the General Electric Company and the Westinghouse Electric Company would imagine that those great pro-trolley organizations could possibly be torn away from their pole-and-wire idol? And yet, if appearances are not deceptive und no snare is laid for the public, that has been accom- plished. These are hard times, and the sum of $50,000 is not to be sneezed at even by the wealthiest of monopolies, so, after all, it is not very surprising that the trolley people should have concluded to make a movement in the direction of earning the liberal reward offered by the Metropolitan Traction Company. It ts now stated upon excellent authority that the three leading competitors are the two corporations named and the firm of Siemens and Halske, the latter representing what !s known as the Buda-Pesth system. Which of the three will, in the end, ve victorious cannot now be prophesied, but that is not material. It is enough joy for those who have continually opposed the “cheap and nasty” motor to know that the great trolley monopoly ac- knowledges the possession of a system eu- Perior to that which it has imposed upon so many communities. The day of the over- head trolley is rapidly drawing to a close and its departure is hastened corsiderably by the struggle which the Westinghouse and General Electric Light people are mak. ing to secure the Metropolitan Company's prize. ————+ee—___. ‘The effort to purify politics in the city of New York has called attention to some local democrat in return for his endorse- ment. When the committee meets tomor- Tow morning it should have before it the Protests of many Washingtonians, and there ought to be no trouble whatever in defeating the present aspirations of the Kansas candidate and rebuking the imposti- tion which President Cleveland would like to see consummated. re. Recent experiences might lead Speaker Crisp to suggest that Secretary Morton locate a political storm center in the upper right-hand corner of his weather map. ———— +42. The trial now in progress in Judge Brad- ley’s court promises a good deal of retri- bution, but not much vindication. ——__+++ The only sensible contention that could be made in behalf of the imposition of an income tax in this country was the one which insisted that the proceeds of that tax would be absolutely necessary to meet the ordinary expenses of government. ‘There was practically no other line of ar- gument when the House was engaged in discussing the income tax feature of the Wilson tariff bill unless the word “argu- ment” be held to include the vaporings of & few populists. Yet Senator Voorhees, who is chairman of the Senate committee on finance and who has charge of the tariff bill at the northern end of the Capitol, has shown to his own satisfaction how completely unnecessary is the imposition of an income tax. On the floor of the Sen- ate and voicing the views of his demo- ¢ratic colleagues on the finance commit- tee, he has declared that the estimated ex- Denses for the fiscal year 1805 amount to the sum of $451,399,495.53, while the est mated revenues which are expected to ac- crue under the provisions of the Wilson Dill amount to $480,788,76%. This latter sum is made up, according to the Senator's own figures, as follows: Internal revenue under present law, $160,000,000; income tax, 20,000,000; spirits. 660,900; customs, $1 $20,000,000; postal Presenting these the debate, Senator Voorhees said most | emphatically sailed the bill as it because it created a ury no long call th heme and abr and with « surplus be- | pides of $29, If it be true that th Bil witt produce such a surplus then e ery Weason for the cullection of the most edivus , rather remarkable peculiarities of political management in that great center of popu- lation. Up to this time it has been the custom for the democratic leaders, particu- larly in the second assembly district, to offer prizes to the election workers who should bring to the polls the largest or next to the largest vote. Such inducements were alleged to be necessary in that district because it is lodging-house territory and the average lodger ts quite careless as to his suffrage privileges. The vote in “the sec- ond” will probably be much lighter at future elections than it has been for some years past, for there will be no more offer- ing of prizes, no more large rewards for the men who herd voters like sheep for a day or two before the election takes place and when the time comes drive them to the polls and vote them as they please. The Corrupt Practices act, which is to be invoked at every opportunity, declares it to be unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, by himself, or through any other person to make any gift, loan, promise, offer, procare- ment or agreement, in order to induce any person to procure or endeavor to procure the election of any person, or the vote of any voter, at any election. Thus is another struggling industry crushed out of existence. — -- +02 -—_ The public land in the District which Miss Mary E. Mann is seeking to purchase from the government under the terms of existing law, as stated in yesterday’s Star, is a lcng, narrow strip adjacent to the Episcopal Cathedral property, and valuable especially to the cathedral from this con- tiguity and from the opening upon Con- Recticut avenue which it will give to the cathedral property. Miss Mann, whose large contribution: furnished the nucleus of the cathedral project, is acting in the mat- ter solely for the benefit of the cathedral, with the purpose of transferring the strip of land immediately to the cathedral when title to it has been secured. If there is a ribbon of public ground at that point to be obtaired under the law it could not be put to a better use than the one proposed. —————_+ ++ ____ Both architecturally and offictally the government printing office presents the constant fear of a drop. ———__ + e > The historic “difference in the morning” would seem to be about due in South Caro- ——+ +> —___ Much that is said on the subject of the tariff could be ably expressed with ditto marks, —_— ooo SHOOTING STARS.
