The Fight Against Gorman in Balti- more—Chances in the Congres- sional Districts. Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., Octobér 25, 1894. As the campaign is drawing to a close, greater activity is evident among the lead- ers and in the ranks of both the democratic and republican parties in all the con- gressional districts from Garrett to Wor- cester counties. The apathy which was manifest on all sides has given way to a moderate degree of enthusiasm, and very nearly the usual vote will be polled en No- vember 6, unless all the usual signs fail. Since Senator Gorman’s visit to the democratic state headquarters here re- cently, Chairman ‘Talbott and his as- sistants bave worked with more vig- or, and their zeal has inspired others to do the same in all parts of the state. As a consequence, the rank and file of the party are being roused from their seeming lethargy and the meetings which are tak- ing place at the present time are in decided contrast to those which were held earlie: in the month, both in the matter of attendance and in the enthusiasm of the people who are present. Senator Gorman's visit led also to a better understanding about the break between the old state leaders under the senior Senator and the city leaders under Mr. I. Freeman Rasin and Mr. John K. Cowe: : The Final Break. ‘On the occasion of Senator Gorman’s first visit several days ago the final break took place, and the full measure of the hostil- ity of the Cowen combination to the old has been openly and publicly discussed on the street corners and in the saloons and clubs of this city. That Mr. Cleveland, President of the United States, had what the “boys” call “ae finger in the ple” has been intimated ever since the nomination of Senator Gor- man’s old enemy, Mr. Cowen, became an assured fact, but now it is declared posi- tively that he did have much to do with the present situation. In fact, it is admitted. it is said here that Mr. Cowen, Mr, Gor- man’s old enemy, was tominated and ac- cepted the nomination at the President's personal request and earnest solicitation, and that the arvangement was consum- mated with the President’s approval after a visit to him by Mr. Rasin, Mr. Cowen and Postmaster “Warfield. Mr. Cowen has a summer eottage at Nan- tucket, not many hours’ ride from Gray G The postmaster made him a visit, and later on they called on the Pres dent. Still later Mr. I. Freeman Rasin made a visit to Gray Gables, and was met there by Mr. Cowen and the postmaster. Soon after they returned to Baltimore the vnneuneement was made that the regular party organization had decided, through {ts head, Mr. Rasin, to nominate Mr. Cow to succeed Mr Rayner in Congress. ‘The! Was some “kicking” on ihe part of certain politicians, who had been opposed in years | Fast by Mr. Cowen, but soon all was quiet- ed down and the nomination was made by acclamation, _ There was much curiosity to know what Senator Gorman thought of the matter, and it was stated at one time that he approved it, but this was denied with emphasis by the Senator's closest friends. Later on it became evident that he not oniy disap- proved the arrangement, but that he had protested inst it. But the protest was of no avail. The city leaders, aided by the governor, had evidently been for same time anxious to break away from the strong influence of Mr. Gorman, and they no doubt considered the time ripe for the final act. Indeed, when asked what Gorman thought of the situation they re and still reply: “We don’t care; it «8 none of his business; we can do without him better than he can do without us.” When Mr. Gorman was here the other day he expressed himself very freely to his friends as to the course taken by the gover- nor and Mr, Rasin, and when he was in- formed that a large number of people who usually contribute to the campaign funds for use in the counties refused to do so this year because the new anti-Gorman combine advised them to make no such co tributions his wrath is said to have over- flowed all bounds. Corporation officials and others have flatly declined to give any money to Mr. Gorman’s state committee, and for a time consternation reigned, but cash was finally raised from other sources and the campaign went on, The tity com- mittee, of which Congressman Rusk is chairman and Mr. Rasin the controlling has money and to spare, but while the state committee has some, ‘it has not what it needs, and economy is the rule where lavish profusion in expenditure has heretofore been the practice. Cramped for Campaign Funds. While the democratic managers at the state headquarters are cramped for money, the republicans are quite as badly off, and the candidates of the two parties in. the country districts are reatly bearmg the burden of their campaign expenses them- selves, aided to some erall extent by their personal friends. The city politicians of both parties are using money with profu- sion, gathered in the utval way, by assess- ments and contributicns from business men, office holders and corporatiors in the re- spective parties, and the common statement is that the country people, both republicans and democrats, wil! now and hereafter be obliged to raise their own campaign funds, and depend on themselves for the necessary things to make their fights. Not only is the above true as to the firanctal arrange- ments in both parties, but it ts also, to a great extent, true as to speakers, for those of both the republican and democratic aftili- ation have nearly all refured to go into the counties to address meetings. “We have to take 2are of ourselves, let the county peo- ple take care of themselves,” is constantly heard from leaders and orators, both re- Publican and democratic, in the city. These complications in both parties have interfered with the progress of the cam- paign, but row the candidates have gone out into the fleld and the work is under w What the result will be no one can tell—the factional fights in the democratic party preventing the usual certainty of suc- cess in some of the districts wnere, hereto- fore, nominations by the dominant party have been equivalent to elections. ‘The chances are, however, that the democrats will elect their nominees in the first,second, third and fourth districts, while the re- publicans, it is believed by well-informed men of both parties, will elect their candi- dates in the fifth and sixth districts. The outcome on election day will probably be, therefore, the election of four democrats and two republicans to the Fifty-fourth Congress, and Mr. Henry (democrat) of the first district will be elected to the unex- pired term in the Fifty-third Congress, and Mr. Coffin (republican) will be elected to the unexpired part of the same Congress, made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Compton. Mr. Henry will succeed Mr. Robert F. Brattan, deceased. Criticising Gorman. Among certain democrats it is quite com- mon to hear severe criticisms of Senator Gorman’s course on the tariff bill. Even democratic stump speakers occasionally join in this criticism, and some of the meet- ings have passed resolutions vigorously de- nouncing Senators Gorman and Gibson by name, and no one has raised a voice in their defense. The Maryland Senators are, however, not without friends in their own state. “We are ready to wait,” said one of them today. “Time will show that Mr. Gorman and his colleagues were right, and then many of these time-servers who are now denouncing them will be the first to cringe and crawl at their ‘feet. Gorman ts not dead yet, and he will exert his influence next year to bury some of his present tra- ducers out of sight.” pats it EE, Ripans cures constipation; druggists, 50c. —Advt. > The Clerk Responsible.

John C. Sheehan, police commissioner, Was the star witneks at yesterday's ses- sion of the Lexow comniitiee in New York. He had been sent for in the morning, and had been informed that he must appear to answer the subpoena at the afternoon ses- sion. The news that Mr. Sheehan would appear on the stand in the afternoon spread rapidly throughout the city, and jong be- fore the afternoon ‘session was called to order a big crowd blocked the passageway leading to the court: room. Senator Cantor mbde a vigorous protest against the examination of the commis- sioner on the ground that his public duties necessitated his appgarance at police head- quarters. ” At first Mr. Goff excused Sheehan until this. morning, as the commissioner had informed him that it was necessary for him to attend a meeting of the police board in the afternoon. Senator Cantor asked that the examina- tion of the commissioner be postponed until after election. Mr. Goff refused this re- quest. Then Commissioner Sheehan said that if he must appear today he might as well be examined yesterday and have it over with,,as he had more important du- ties for today than those scheduled for yesterday afteraoon. Mr. Goff said: ‘Very well, the testimony will be proceeded with at once.” Mr. Goff then questioned the cominission- er as to the location of the different sta- tion houses in his district. The commis- sioner’s answers were given after some hesitation and attempts to refer (o a small directory, which Mr. Goff objected to. Ac- cording to Mr. Goff's recapitulation of Shee- han’s answers the latter failed to correctly locate two of his station houxes as well as police headquarters. “Does your mind get mixed up with the of Buffalo and the streets of New * asked Mr. Goff. replied the commissioner. . Goff then elicited ftom the witness the fact that he had come from Buffalo to New York city about eight years ago upon assurance that he would be given a public position. He denied that he had ever acted as attorney for the Gould estate or that he represented the Gould interest. Questioned about his iaw practice, Mr. Sheehan said the bulk was in consultation, and that he drew a revenue from it of $4,000 to $5,000 a year. Mr. Sheehan said most of his time wis spent at headquar- rs, and, although his partner was now in Hurope, the business did not in any way interfere with his duties as police commis- sioner. He said he was a member of the firm of John C. Sheehan & Co., composed of John O'Brien and himself.’ This firm was doing a business in Long Island City, the contracts of which amounted to about $5,000, After some sparring between Mr. Goff and the commissioner with regard to Inspector Williams’ connection with the Long Island City contracts and his efforts to secure a commissionership, an adjourn- ment was taken nnttl today. Commissioner Sheehan did not care about going on the stand today. He said his busi- ness at police headquarters was too press- ing. Mr. Goff would not excuse him. — coe cd The Ti er Hat Again. ‘To the Editor of The Eveuing 8 Every now and then some few people, an- noyed beyond silent endurance, voice through the newspapers their protest and objections to the theater hat and appeal to the women to take off their hats in the theater. But either, because the fights are weak or the allies of the hat are strong, the hat is as much in evidence today as ever. However, I vdfpot believe it has many friends, because when these periodi- cal attacks appear'to defense is ever made, and for thet reason, If for none other, 1 | think the long-suffering — the goer is entitled to a judgment in his fivor by de- fault. But before} claiming victory we want to hear from:the; women—if they have anything to say—why they should not re- move their hats if! ti theater when it is the desire so oft expressed of so many. They cannot say fhey,,wear them for pro- tection, as the theater hat of the day is simply a band that supports the objection- able features—the ‘ribbons or lace—and the head has no covering at all. I suggest that, if The, Evening Star.will allow us the space, this time we fight to a tints until we are cither forced toereepgnize the futility of our crusade or are’ victorious and see the hat go. Whilst I approve of the English idea of printing on tickets to certain seats in the house “No hats allowed,” I can well understand the hesitation the theatrical managers of Washington would feel in fol- lowing their example until they are assur- ed it is the wish of the pubitc, which, I hope, they. will be through your columns. have within the last ten days read three letters and one editorial on this subject in ‘The Evening Star, all condemnatory of the hat. The editorial spoke of large hats. I object to all, as I have never yet seen one that, if it was directly in front of me, did not interfere with my view of the stage. We want no compromise. It must be no hats, or men will have to continue to sit behind vain, inconsiderate and unreason- able woman, whose hat will change in size according to fashion, at one time so small that we will delude ourselves into the be- lief that they will eventually disappear en- tirely, and again the “Gainsborough” «which we are promised) will effectually hide the stage altogether. a Another Theater To the Editor of The Evening Star: In The Star of the 224 “C. J. M.” says that true politeness dictateg that we should be always considerate of the rights of others, and that woman is less considerate of the rights of otMers than man. I was thinking as I read it that I should like to know what he calls true politeness, and if it has anything to do with the way men walk over everybody between acts, not only one act or cre night, but every act and every night, and the only way women can prevent their gowns from being soiled is to rise and fold up their seats each time that “true politeness” goes out and comes in, And then there is such a delightful perfume after they return a number of times—spices, tobacco, whisky, and last, but not least, by any means, garlic. That is what one man, who sat by me not long ago in an orchestra chair at Albaugh’s, hal with him, and I had to hold my handkercbief to my nose the rest of the evening, or go home. Last night five men went out from one row of seats between each act, and there were five acts; and some of them did not return until the next act had begun; of course every one around could see the stage, “because the men removed their hats,” but there is one thing that everybody about them could swear to, and that is that not one werd could be heard from the stage for some time, on account of the racket they made banging their seats, ete. But I did not hear any one remark about its being “true politeness.” Perhaps C. J. M. not there. A Woman's Good Example, To the Editor of The Evening Star: I am sure all the many readers of The Star are grateful for, the efforts you are making to ctate the theater-hat nuisance. At one of the thjatefs the other night a lady (1 delleve I am just'fied in this case in using that myfh-gbused word, for her action proved hep toabe entitled to some distinction) took { sfat in the orchestra adjoining mire, ipmediately removed her hat, placed it in ber dap ard held it there during the her Ghow, greatly Those whe snnee. sat behind her, I how, greatly appreciated her considerate act. I mention the instance, as I heve the example may be imitated. If the women of fashion-would take the lead in this macter it pyoujd not be long before it would be recardéd jast as absurd and im- polite for a wemay te wear her hat in the theater as it would Ye now if a man oe- cupying an orchestra chair insisted on keeping his hat or a LORGNETTE.

Completing the City Branches of the Eckington Line— Work Soon to Be Done on Other Lines. To one familiar with Washington for the past quarter of a century the immense in- fluence exerted upon its development by the street raflroids is fully understood and appreciated. It is not so many years ago that an observer could stand on the dome of the Capitol and see the lines of houses radiating, like the spokes of a wheel, with great barren places between them, dottea only here and there with a house. Those built-up streaks of brick and mortar were pierced by the street rail- roads that rap from near the center of the city to its different boundaries. When the eross-town lines were built later on the carpenter and builder followed to work on the adjoining squares, and in the more pop- ulous neighborh ods, when the street cars were introduced, the residences on the streets along which they ran were slowly but surely meamorphosed into business places and the dwellers forced back to nake room for the mcrchants. The magnificent distances for which Washington is so justiy famed made the establishment of street railways here ex- pensive, and at the same time profitable. They gave the salaried man an opportunity to seek a home where land could be pur- chased cheaply an‘l a modest abode erected, that would not be frowned into insignifi- cance by the mansions of the rich. In every direction taken by the iron rails’ and the bob-tall cars the march of improvement was steady. For quite a number of years, until recently, the building of street rail- ways within the District limits was limited in the extrerre. The ratiroad companies seemed to be husbanding their resources to meet the inevitable demand for an im- proved motive power, rather than devoting them to the extension of their lines for a more comprehensive accommodation of the public and a corresponding increase of re- ceipts and profits, Perhaps this was wise, as Ce improvements already made and in contemplation by the various companies as regards the power used for the propulsion of their cars assure the community of not only abundant means of transit, but a rapid transit as we'l. Recent Improvements. In the past twelve or fifteen months, how- ever, there has been a substantial increase in. the mileage of local railroads, and a lafge portion of the population has been given more opportunities for convenient transportation throughout the city than it has hitherto enjoyed. Not the least important of the improve- ments mentioned is the extension of the city lines of the Eckington railroad, which has proven beneficial to both the people and the property of the neighborboods it tra- verses. The operations now going on at junction of Pennsylvania avenue and 6th street are the concluding features of the work on this extension. The new line be- gins at 13th and D streets northeast, where a barn and stables covering the entire build- ing area of square No. 1430 nave been erect. ed, and runs along D to 4th northeast; thence to C; thence to Delaware avenue, where the tracks of the Metropolitan are used until Ist and C streets northwest are reached, where the rails of the Belt Lin: ‘e used until the Eckington line i> again ‘ach- ed at 4th and G streets, continuing along the latter thoroughfare to 15th, opposite the Treasury Department. Another extension nd Louisiana ivenue and runs down th street by the Baltimore and Potomac depot, reach- ing 7th sfeet by way of B. This work is now being completed. Another extension, valuable alike to a increasing community and the Brightwood Railway Company, is the branctr of the latter corporation which ieaves the 7th street electric line near the District line and runs to Tahcma. This line is now ured by the residents of Takoma, who for- aerly depended on the accommodation trains on the Metropolitan branch of the Paltimore and Ohio wo tring them into Washington. The Eckington line also made an extension in the suburbs by con- tinuing its tracks to University station, greatly to the convenience of the many resilents of Brookland. ‘The Brightwood line also built a road from 7th street to Mount Pleasant and has seen no reason to regret this part of its enterprise, Work Soon to Be Done. ‘The most important works on local rail- roads now in progress or immediate contem- plation are the putting in of the.cable sys- tem on the Columbia or H street road, as it is familiarly called, and the Buda-Pesth electric system on the 9th street branch of the Metropolitan Company. There is a small army of laborers and skilled mechan- ies at work on the H street improvement, and the conduit and new tracks, are being pushed ahead rapidly. It is expected by the company and contractors that the new sys- tem will be ir. operation from th street and New York avenue to Lith street afi@ Boundary northeast by December 15. The actual work of excavating for the 9th street conduit which will carry the electric wires of the Buda-Pesth system—improved by the General Electric Company—is expect- ed to begin in about ten days. The Rock Creek and Chevy Chase road also contemplates extending its road to Ken- sington, and this-work may be commenced at any moment, as the pending negotiations are nearly completed. oa Ripans cureg dyspepsia; druggists, We,— Advt. ee Diphtheria is raging at Caseyville, Ky., and vicinity and also across the river, in Tilinois, and many have died.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: There ts no doubt that Mr. Coston con- veyed the germs of smallpox to the cases he was “handling” at his desk, and that others took the disease from the papers, the cases in that office passing from one to another, until they reached the assistant attorney general. I have known of skin eruptions that were contracted from dirty papers in pension cases, The best preventive is absolute cleanli- ness of the hands. The hands should be frequently washed, and public basins and other public conveniences avoided until all danger of contagion is passed. I believe if The Star were to say, “Be clean—wash and oe clean,” we should hear “nuch less of contagious diseases. All the world nowadays is guided more by the newspapers than the pulpit. We all read the papers, but we don’t all go to church. We look eagerly each day in the paper for what “it says,” and we are governed much more than we are aware by what it con- tains. L. McH.
