France, together with a large number of the certificate holders in Maryland of the Order of the Iron Hall, yesterday filed the answer in the city circuit court at Balti- more to the application of James F. Failey, general receiver of the Order of the Iron Hall, to have the funds collected, amount- ing to $100,000, turned over to the general receiver. Messrs. Wiener and France are the Mary- land receivers, and resist the attempt to have the fund diverted from the four thou- sand Maryland certificate holders and plac- ed in the common fund. It is claimed, in answer, that the order of the court in appointing Failey is only effective in Indiana. Failey was appointed receiver August 23; 1002, in the superior court for Marion county, Indiana. The Marylanders do not want the money sent out of the state, but claim that it should be distributed among them here. They claim, besides, that the fund cannot be sent out of the state until the claims of attach- ing creditors are adjudicated. The right of the Indiana court to control the Maryland fund is denied, and it is asked that the pe- tition be dismissed. The matter is set for hearing June 4. The petition was filed in the city circuit court by Cowen & Cross, attorneys, and the local receivers were given sixty days in which to file the answer lage house, sieds and ail necessary outbuildings | and four es of land, with ornamental and fruit tres Washington city; two miles distant: terms to soit purchaser. JAMES E. CLEMENTS, ap 1321 F st. nw. FOR SALE— 1 ATTACKING THE SENATE The Peculiar Petition Mr. Martin Has Had Printed. Ten Amendments to the Constitation Wanted—Cutting Off Those Con- gressional Junkets. It is not often that the dignified and dec- orous Senate prints and circulates an at- | tack upon itself. There has, however, ac- tually been printed and placed in the per- manent files of the Senate a petition intro- duced by Senator Martin in behalf of the petitioner, which is most irreverent and even slanderous of the Senate. The petitioner sub- mits ten amendments to the Constitution, and bracketed between each proposition | are comments calculated to give most seri- ous offense to the Senate. The petition seven rooms and cellar; large storehouse, with | Tads: “The undersigned, a native citizen of the republic, respectively asks to have submit- on Arlington Heights, in full view of | ted to the state for ratification ten suitably framed sections as amendments to the Con- stitution, of the following import, to wit: I. Elections by popular vote of Presitlent, Vice President, and United States Sena- tors; and ineligibility of the President for re-election, “(This would put a quietus upon the ‘pl- votal state’ chicanery, wherewith office holders, under executive orders, now ma- nipulate the selection of minority candi- dates; and would also put a stop to the scandalous purchase of senatorial seats from corrupt legislatures.) “IL Expenditures and annual liabilities to be limited to a sum not exceeding $3 per capita of the population, except in war. “(Notning iess will ever cure the satur- nalia of profligate extravagance and public plunder, which ‘log-rolling’ combines and committee-room jobbery have reduced to a system, that has become a serious menace to the republic.) “II. Uniform duties upon all imported commodities not to exceed 10 per cent of actual values, and no other federal taxa- | tion except graduated levies upon incomes | painless extraction. | § | } | service and decedent estates above $1,000, (Wealth, instead of humbie labor, would then bear, as it ought, the bulk of federal taxation. The smail surplus earnings of the industrious poor would not, as now, be swept away by levies cunningly devised upon their living necessities; and the un- taxed billions of the idle rich would no | longer remain exempt, to the scandal of republican government. In no other way can the ‘masterpieces of iniquity’ and the ‘sums of all villainy,’ which disfigure the Morrill and McKinley tariff schedules, be effectually eradicated or an end be put to the chronic congressional bribery in favor of special interests.) “IV. The entire money creating func- tion should be exclusively resumed by the Congress; the unlimited mintage of gold and silver into legal tender coin of con- venient denominations should be made com- pulsory, and a complete and eternal di- vorcement of government from banks and pecuniary corporations be decreed. The issuing of interest-bearing bonds in time of peace should be absohitely forbidden. “(The several provisions would rescue the government from the clutches of the money changing, stock-jobbing, bond-mongering leeches that now have it by the throat; would save millions annually to the over- taxed people, and purify the public service beyond computation.) Official Junkets. “Vv. All government commissions, boards, superfluous bureaus, retired lists, double pay rolls, traveling Pinkertons, official junkets, special agents and examiners, de- partment trustees, roaming inquests, et hoe genus omne, should be unceremonious- ly squelched, and be rendered hereafter impossible. Every species of government business should be placed with regular officers, having stated tenures, under good bonds, with fixed pay, and clearly defined statutory duties. “(There are many thousands of the bar- nacles above named—all useless and most- ly pernicious—the fungold growth of the last thirty years, constituting, in the ag- gregate, a lot of peculating vermin, who annually squander many millions of the people's taxes for mere personal advan- tage.) Note.—Here are some of these fads: ‘Commissions’ to reform the Mormon re- ligion; to prevent seal hunting; to manipu- late parks; to manage grave yards; to deepen rivers; to regulate (help) railroad steals; to gather labor statistics; to watch trikes; to ticket (and swindle) emigrants; to persecute contract laborers; to bom- bard the sky for rain; to guess at the weather; to muddle tariff reform; to pro- mote irrigation; to monkey with the civil (humbug); to inspect city slums; to discover the north pole; to ‘investigate’ child labor; to colonize Kongo Africa; to reclaim ‘Death Valley;’ to develop fish- breeding; to dig foreign canals; to navigate the Dead sea; to teach forestry (by de- stroying the forests); to hunt geologicak curios; to dicker with Indians; to fire out the Chinese (the meanest business ever undertaken): to demonetize silver; tinker broken banks; to run ar works; to cap- ture a deposed queen; to doctor live stock; | to educate heathen; to build air ships, &c., &e., &e. “Several other special agencies are threat- ened, and are sure to come, of thé follow- ing import: To rectify misfit marriages; to superintend infant ptism; to dilute lager beer and watch the whisky trust; suppress ‘puts’ and ‘calls’ in the grain pit; to ‘na- tionalize divorce;’ to improve country roads; | to adopt woman's suffrage; to put God in | the Constitutiot © corral the Pacific ocean; to expand hoop-skirts (automatically); to bottle electricity, and run ‘corners’ on in- finite space. What a congressional ‘com- mission’ can’t tackle would be invisible to Paul Pry. Uncle Sam has forty thousand unnecessary employes, at an average cost of $200 each—or a useless swag of eight millions annually. Other Reforms. “VI. All postmasters should be elected for stated terms by the people of the civil townships in which they are located. “(This would largely reduce the most corrupting and perplexing part of executive patronage and keep these important oifices | |nearer the people, whose vital interests they serve.) “VII. All ife offices should be abolished, the presidential patronage largely restrict- ed, sinecures prohibited, nepotism be made criminal, offictal salaries (from President to janitor) slashed one-half, and approxi- mated with those of ordinary busines: nd impeachment prescribed for officials’ who accept free passes or other gratuities in the line of public duties. “(This would cure the office-seeking ma- ria, because office holding would cease to , be excessively lucrative, in proportion to other employments, and the public inter- ests would be better served, when not in! competition with those of place-hunters, scrambling for exceptionally profitable work.) “VIII. Each Congress should assemble within sixty days after its election, and | no leave of absence be allowed except for sickness. No member thereof should be eligible to any federal office -by appoint- ment for four years after his election. Re- fusal to answer on roll call should be pun- ished by expulsion. Single districts should be prescribed, of uniform population and in square form as near as possible. An affirmative vote of all members should be required to pass a law or resolution, and & call of the yeas and nays be allowable for that purpose oniy, unless demanded by a majority. Secret sessions not allowed, except in public danger, and prohibiting, absolutely, any rule or § er’s orde that would prevent such majority vote at any time. “(These provisions would keep Congress to its work, in closer touch with the peo- ple, and with shorter sessions; would pre- vent, in great measure, corrupt appoint- ments as rewards for venal votes and to promote family and partnership interests; would end ‘filibustering’ forever; would annihilate ‘the infamous gerrymander’ and exclude from the statue book a multitude of pernicious enactments.) “IX. Republican vernments should be guaranteed to all the territories and to the District of Columbia, with the right of the people thereof to elect their legis- lative, executive, and judicial officers, re- serving to Congress, however, the power to revise enactments. Appointments should be restricted to the place of services, “X. The making of congressional gifts, grants, bonuses, subsidies, and gratuities of all kinds should be absolutely prohibited; also the loaning of government credit or guaranty to favored parties or corpora- tions; also fancy show building and official show business; also private statutes and pecuniary charters, and the fostering of trade monopolies as government stock- holder or partner or patron. “XI. Power should be expressly with- held from Congress and the President to exclude healthy immigrants (except con- victs), or to prevent expatriation, or to declare aggressive war upon any state or nation, or to Quarter troops in time of peace within any state against its consent, or to interfere in the conduct of any state election or elective franchise, or institu- tion, or tax levy, or with any domestic or industrial or social or religious question whatsoever. ““Congressional meddling with these lo- cal and personal matters is a constant menace to the public peace, and leads to all sorts of immoral and flagrant invasion of the reserved rights of states and people.” relies ITED STATES. “THE U A Singular Subject or a Plural Onet Written for The Evening Star. Senator George has emphatically put him- self on record as favoring the plural view. Senator Platt may, from his brief reply on the same occasion, be recorded as taking the singular side. Senator Hoar seems to favor the same side. President Cleveland seems to be persistently of the same opin- ion with Senators Platt and Hoar. The Evening Star, in reporting the substance of Senator George’s remarks, treats the “United States” as a singular subject twice in one sentence (April 6, p. 2). Mr. David Dudley Field, in a late utterance, as quot- ed by the Baltimore Sun and other papers, denounces the use of the words “The United States” as a noun in the singular number, fortifying his position by quota- tions from the Declaration of Independence and from the Constitution of the United States. Dr. Daniel G. Brinton, bureau of educa- tion’ circular of information, No. 2, 1892, p. 378, writes ‘In this list, the United States was represented by objects, mostly in stone, from thirty-six states and six ter- & Star, Washington, D. C., sixth page, seventh column, quotes the New York Tribune: “England has the letter of the decision, and the United States have the seal;” and the Philadelphia Press: “In the Paris arbitra- tion the United States has lost its argu- ment and won its cause;” and “the primary contention of the United States has been needed to have a special protection. The Evening Star, August 15, 1893, speak- ing for itself, says: “It is true that all that | the United States has contended for before the tribunal hes not been granted, but,” &c. Mr. A. R. Spofford, in an interview with the writer several years ago, made the dis- tinct impression upon the small crowd of | listeners around. us, that the singular view of this question was the only right one. | Now, Mr. Editor, when grave and rever- end Senators turn aside from their avoca- | tions, at a time of financial interest and of | no small political excitement,and deliberate- jly discuss a question of the grammar of | their ative tongue, thei constituents meanwhile crowding the galleries, with eyes and ears intent to catch the first favorable | sight or sound of approaching legislation, and when eminent lawyers take a deliber- ately fortified position on the question head- ing this brief article and “denounce” any possible opponent as guilty, not merely of |sclecism, but even of implicit treason, it | may be safely inferred that there is some- thing in the issue joined of a nature too important to be passed over without some | consideration. | The phrase “The United States” was originally. employed to designate the thir- teen dependent English colonies of Amer- ica engaged in a combined and determined struggle to achieve their independent sov- ereignty, and was written, not as now with capitals, but as a common noun, as gram- marians would say, viz.: “the united states.” It, will be found so written in some one or more of the original docu- ments. Moreover, within the recollection of the writer, a general call upon citizens was made by one or more newspapers to suggest an appropriate proper name or title for our country. This call appears to have recognized the fact that the name, then | and sttll prevailing, was not in its ‘origin @ proper name, although regularly written | with capital initials. The call brought out | Several suggestions, two of which were America and Columbia, both of which were, | however, respectfully declined, either as embracing too much, or as already appro- priated. It thus appears that the united States, a union of separate sovereign states, | have become “The United States,” a single | united country. and esto perpetua! But it must be obvious even to a super- ficial reader that in common parlance the name is, and has long been, used in two | quite different senses. First, to designate the States in their several capacity,as when it is said that the United States are repre- | sented in Congress by Senators and Repre- sentatives, that the United States are go |erned, divided, subdivided, have the came or different laws on certain subjects, have greater or less areas, have represent- atives in proportion to population, have greater or less population according to age, area or other circumstances; and, second; to designate the United States as a unit, | its entirety, as when is meant the general government, the federal legislature, the treaty-making power. In brief, the phrase | “The United States” sometimes means the | forty-four states, and sometimes the one general government; consequently and in | harmony with this two-fold view of the | matter, your correspondent entertains, and {has long entertained, the settled opinion | that in the one case, being a divided unit.or a manifold unit, it is a plural subject to its | verb and a plural antecedent to its pro- | Roun; and that in the other case, being a | Single unit, without thought or suggestion of division or divisibility Into units, the phrase is just as clearly a singular subject to verbs and a singular antecedent to pro- nouns. Judged by this standard, Messrs. Field and George appear on the wrong side, and also the Tribune; The Evening Star, the Philadelphia Press, Dr. Brinton, Mr. | Spofford, the President and Senators Platt | and Hoar on the right. W. B. CARR. ——o——— EXTENT OF THE STORM. Wind, Snow and Ra Raged Yester- day Throughort the Country. A fierce snow storm began at Philadel- phia shortly before noon yesterday, and snow continued falling far into the night. It was of the soft variety, and meited as ; Soon as it touched the earth. In the mountain regions, however, the atmosphere was cold enough to prevent the snow from melting, and in some places it was several inches deep. Reports from all over Pennsylvania indicate the same condition of affairs, In Delaware the storm was severe, and reports of further damage to the fruit crop may be looked for in the near future. Fur- ther south the snow was mixed with sleet and rain. Telegraph and telephone circuits were badly demoralized, and much delay to busi- ness was experienced. In the Lehigh valley the snow was ac- companied by high wind. At Bath, Pa., a | partially constructed frame building was blown down, instantly killing the contrac- tor, Peter F. Snyder, and injuring several workmen. Ie The snow at Bethlehem, Pa., last night was two inches de>p on the level, and | showed no signs of melting. Reports from the slate regions in the mountains say the storm is fierce. There is more than enough snow for sleighing, and-it is certain that the crops are damaged considerably. A heavy snow storm raged at West Ches- ter, since 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and | the fall of snow is equal, if not greater, than any during the winter. In some cases | the railroad trains tind it difficult to ad- |here to schedule time, and traffic on the jelectric roads is greatly impeded. Sleighs | are running, and fears are entertained for | the fruit crop. Strong easterly gales are prevailing at Lewes, Del., and danger to shipping is feared on the coast in the vicinity of the Delaware capes, An unusual taste of winter for April de- veloped in Maryland yesterday, when snow and sleet began to fall. Throughout the \day the storm continued, and travel was greatly interfered with. Six inches of snow fell at Reading, Pa., yesterday afternoon and evening, and such a decided fall in the temperature accom- panies the storm that farmers are certain that the fruit buds will be destroyed in this section. A heavy snow storm has been raging in Wisconsin since Sunday night. Dispatches from many points northwest and west of Chicago state that a heavy snow storm, almost unexampled for the season, has prevailed during the past two days. At Ashland, Wis., two feet of snow has fallen. At Palmyra, Ill, the worst rain {and sleet storm of the year, accompanied | by a high wind, was experienced. A terrific snow storm is reported from the Gogebic region. In Coffey county, Kan., a cyclone did great damage to houses and crops last evening and killed considerable stock. ——_---+0«-_____ The Lynchburg, Va., Scandal. Gov.

Clemens and Oscoder, | while in Marquette, Ironwood and Holland j the results were too mixed up for either party to claim victories and local issues | rather than politics prevailed. The State Campaign. The result of the municipal election will | have a most important bearing upon the state campaign, which will open in early summer, It encourages and strengthens | the republicans, making them the more oén. fident of victory. It leaves the democrats discouraged and disgusted and spiit up into bitter factions. The normal effect alone will be of unestimable advantage to the ree publicans, but that is not the only advan- |tage they will realize. The victories last | week give the republicans control of the | election machinery in all the cities, also all the patronage. The patronage will be rich- | er than in years before, as in July the state census will be taken and many faithful re- publican toilers will be rewarded for their services by appointment as enumerators, | With the scandals of the present state ad | ministration, the most odoriferous in the his- | tory of the state, the republicans are in @ very poor position to make a Vigorous ag- gresive campaign, but on account of the quarrels and ‘sions in the democratic ranks they really have Little to fear from | their record of scardal at Lansing. The republicans will carry the state by @ round majority next November, and they aim at even wider conquest. They are counting now or e‘ecting a solid republican |congressional delegetion from Michigan. Of | the present representati only five of | twelve are democrats—Grifith of the | Gorman of the second, Rachardson of the | fifth, Whiting of the seventh and Weadock of the tenth. || Mr. Richardson will not be renominated for a second term. No matter whom the | democrats put up, the republicans are con- fident of carrying the district. In the enth,if Whiting were renommated he in all probability, be elected, but he has jenlisted in a fight against Don M. Dickin- |son and the Michigan referee system; is | looked upon as the champion of the anti- | referee element and is being strongly |to stand as a candidate for governor. | could probably win the gubernatorial noml- nation, but he would stand as the leader of | A cause already lost. Any other candidate the democrats might put up in the seventh would not stand nearly as good a chance | for election. | In the first district Griffin will be re- | Beminated, and against him the blicans | will put a Pingree man and all the force of |the municipal machinery will be thrown in his favor. Mr. Griffin was elected at the Same time that Mr. Pingree was chosen for |a third time as Detriot’s executive, but it |was by a small plurality and conditions have changer materially since then. Be- sides, he had a weak man to run against, The republicans will make a determined fight against Mr. Gorman’s re-election. In the third and fourth districts the pres- ent republican Representatives, Burrows and Thomas, will be renominated and elect- ed, and the same may be said of Aitken in the sixth, Linton in the eighth, Moon in the rinth and Avery in the eleventh, Mr. Stephenson of the tweifth is serving his third term in Congress, and his grip in convention, bud it matters not whom the republicans ncfainate they will elect their man. In this, the twelfth district, cans are divided between: ex-Congressman Charles E. Belknap and William Alden Smith, with a long list of possibilities in the background, and wit® Grand ; lonia and Grand Haven in’republican hands and the democrats badly split —p hopes | themselves they have reasonable having everything their own way. In the tenth district Congressman T. A. E. Weadock will have a harder fight on his hands than he had two years ago, when | he carried the district by a plurality of 250, The city of Saginaw was then democrat and last week it went republican, ani other leading towns in his district did Mke- wise. Factional feelings exist among the democrats of that district as well as else- where, growing out of the post office ap- pointments, and these factions will hurt om election day. Hopes of the Republicans. As the situation stands today the repub- Means confidently count on retaining all their present representation in Congress and on adding the fifth and tenth to their list, probably the seventh end probably the first and second. The hopes im some districts are well founded. The democratic defeats in the spring election may be accredited to a variety of causes. The hard times undoubtedly had an important bearing on the results. The failure of Congress to do anything decisive on the tariff question is responsible for its proportion of the slump. The dissatisfac- tion created in the distribution of the | federal offices also had an important bear ing. The patronage quarrel was immensely aggravated by the referee system, and it is notable that the cities where the referees | live, Grand Rapids, Manistee, Ionia, Gran@ | Haven, Kalamazoo and Saginaw all went | republican by decisive pluralities, while St. Clair, the home of Congressman Whit- ing, who is fighting the referee system, and Holland, where George P. en a bitter opponent of the plan, was mayor, both went democratic. The referee system will be the live issue in the democratic state convention, and that convention, from present indications, will be the warmest ever held in Michie gan. At the head of one element will be Dickinson, Rowley, Watson, White and Blacker, and Dan J. Campau and Mr. Whiting will lead the other contingent, and it will be a fight to a finish, and will be carried beyond the convention into the election. If the convention were to be held today Campau would win with hands down, but time may work some changes in_the situation. The next legisiature will elect a successor to Senator McMillan and will reapportion the state in legislative and congressional districts. The republicans are very con- fident of the control of the next legislature by a large plurality, and the nerviest of the democrats have not as yet disputed the claim. —_—~—_—_ MecKane's Case Agal The latest move on the part of John ¥, McKane’s friends to get the convict out of Sing Sing prison is to have Congress pass ja law admitting to bail persons convicted |of a felony pending the determination of their cases on appeal.
