The cause of the uublic schools, which was so ably cham- pioned in thé article in question, Is one that Is dear and near to every good citi- Zen; but there are other interests that have een entirely ignored by the House, which fre also of paramount interest to the com- inunity at large, as well as to residents of gertain sections of the city and District. No bill ever passed by any Congress was 6 illiberal toward the suburbs as this one fs. It does not contain a dollar for im- provements in that large area outside of the city limits, extending from the Ana- costia river on the east to 16th street extended on the west. The Commissioners’ estimates for this section, which were not at all extravagant, were entirely ignored; and that, too, in the face of most pressing public wants in the matter of street im- provements. it about time that this unfair treat- ment of the suburbs ceased. We have been discriminated against long enough. We @ want fair proportion of our taxes ex- penvieil in street and other improvements, ani not diverted to the benefit of other sections. ‘That the county does not receive its share of improvements is conclusively shown be the report of the engineer department the District government for the year 1S frem which the following figures are taken Per cent ‘Square Section. of taxes yards of Paid. pavement. tity Northwest . - GLST $2,094,960 Geor: own . ss 225,829 Southwest ... 478,548 Of the | charged to property owners. the county, which pays ntire revenue of the District, 00) yards of pavement, while ; the city which pay but little more than half as much in taxes have three or four times that number of yards. ‘And it should be remembered in ihis con- nection that the city and county pay the same rate of taxation, viz. $1.50 on the hundred dollars, except about one-fourth the county property, which is taxed as ' agricultural land, at $1 on the hundred dollars. In the county outside the city are the homes ot ooo people, and within * this territo during the year 1893, were €rected Sis houses, at a cost of $1,687, &3 against S20 houses, valued at $1,6: erected in the entire southeastern and fouthwestern sections of the city. The tigures for 1Sv4 are not available to Pe, but 1 have no doubt they would show cures SCROFULA, BLOOD POISON. § te cures CANCER, ECZEMA, TETTER. - § ow @ comparison equally favorable to the county. Again, for the sake of illustration, take the subdivisions of Columbia Heights and Pleasant Plains, and we have a still more flagrant case of neglect and unfair dis- crimination. ‘This section, which paid t {n 1804 upon assessed valuation of $1,617,355 recefved in return the paltry sum of $10,- 000 for grading a portion of Sherman avenue; and for the coming year, on the same assessment, we are not to receive a cent—that is, if the House bill becomes the law. Can anything more unjust be im- agined? And look at the deplorable condition of our streets! They would disgrace a third- rate country town. Most of them are ab- solutely impassable in bad weather; some of them impassable at all times; with standing pools of water—breeding spots for contagious and other diseases—menacing the public health. ‘The money that ought to be expended in the improvement of our streets 1s elther diverted to the benefit of more favored sections or lapses into the treasury. When we ask for an improve- ment we are usually told that it can be had under the “compulsory permit” sys- tem, which requires half the expense to be paid by owners of abutting property, while similar work in the city is paid for out of the general fund. County residents and taxpayers should endeavor to free themselves from this un- just anc apparently studied system of dis- crimination. GEORGE SIMMONS, > North Carolina Senators. Marion Butler was unanimously nomi- nated by the North Carolina populist cau- cus Tuesday at Raleigh United States Senator. In the call for the caucus the re- publicans were invited to be present, and they attended in force, but not as “oliicial” participants. Representative Hileman of Cabarrus presided, and when he called the caucus to order Senator Fowler of Samp- son (Butler's county) nominated Marion Butler. The nomination was seconded by a unanimous yell by both populists and re- publicans. Butler was declared to be the nominee without a dissenting voice. The populisis and republicans then jointly rat- ified both the nominations of J. C. Pritch- ard and Marion Butler tor United States Senators for North Carolina. eee —__ The Debs Case Argued. The United States Supreme Court yester- day heard an argument by C. S. Darrow, at- torney for E. V. Debs and others, in their application for a writ of error and habeas corpus and release on ball. Mr. Darrow centended that the court could properly re- view the case on a writ of error, and that the law under which they were found guilty, was unconstitutional. ak Whitney appeared for the govern- ment. et Exports and Imports.

It is also stated that musi Geto: have strongly objected to competition of the Marine Band upon fuch occasions. NEWSPAPER MAKING the Cornell Students. COST OF PRODUCING THE DAILY PAPER His Comments on the Different Departments. NEWSPAPER QUALIFICATIONS Mr. Charles A, Dana, editor of the New York Sun, contributed an interesting addi- tion to the literature of newspaper mak- ing when he delivered an address last Fri- day before the students of Cornell Univer- sity on the occasion of Founders’ day. His topic was ‘The Conditions, Usefulness and Future of the Press.” After a few pre- liminary remarks about the kinds of men of thought who go to make up the intel- lectual progress of the age, he said: “The newspaper is an article of primary neces- sity. You must have your breakfast, but you must have your newspaper, too. With- out it we do not know what has happened in the world. We dcn’t know what new ideas, what shocking events, what well- founded or fantastical hopes are moving before the minds of the masses of men. We don’t even know who is married.” A Learned Profession. Mr. Dana said that the newspaper pro- fession was learned in one sense—a pro- fession in which the utmost amount of learning can be put to use. He was sorry to say that there are newspapers in which learning is very sparingly applied, and in which more facts and better logic would be an improvement. The newspaper is very much like human nature, some- times right, but pretty often wrong. On the whole, there is no question that the newspaper is not only a needful institu- tion, but useful, advantageous and bene- ficial. The business of making newspapers, said Mr. Dana, is going through a revolution. The changes through which it is passing are very radical, and are due largely to the improvement of the mechanism and the invention of new machinery, that makes it possible to publish the enormous editions of the day. He spoke at some length of the latest devices in printing presses, type-setting machines and paper- making processes. The cost of paper, he said, has decreased to the point wher large editions are not only possible, profitable. He paid a tribute to a “justly distinguished statesman of New Yor who, instead of being called by his first name, has been popularly known as “Woodpulp.” “Mr. Dana probably referred to Mr. Warner Miller, whose extensive paper mills supply a large proportion of that material in the east. To bim, said the famous editor, the people owe great grat- itude for his contributions for making newspaper and diffusing views that do not always accord with his own. Mr. Dana evidently paid his share of the general tribute in all sincerity. Cost of Producing the Daily Paper. Alluding to the cost of producing the daily paper, Mr. Dan id that a million dollars is not in the ieast excessive as an original investment for the estabiishme of a new journal. In the great city 0 York, he said, one of the biggest it the rent that must be paid for quart those papers that do not ow: homes. The million dollars, aid, 1s necessary, not to pay the natural losses of an enterprise just begun, but to carr the regular business, to run the wor reasonable cost, so that the e may not be swallowed up by exp might be avoided. Leaving the mech he said that there cedes everything, paper will you m That que said, “may be divided into two will’ you make a newspaper tor people, or will you make a newspare fools?” Now, I would noc be understood intimating that the hing unwor or below anybody's newspaper for foo! there is impressive evidence to show the fools form a of ¢ munity; and we have (re most unqu able testimony when we turn to the pro} et Isaiah, who says emp. ing of the way of holiness faring men, though fools, therein.’ So that it is pei provide for the fools in sp and that duty, as you may ha is extensively and eonse ed by gifted and conspic' by their own cal part of the pape that noticed, form- and I have heard that some of the money by it. For my owi however, I find more entertainment in a newspaper that tries to be of the other kind.” The Sunday wwspaper.

Its editors hold certain ideas, certain principles, certain social, folitical, religious principles, and in discussing the events of the times they will discuss those principles. Now, ought a newspaper to stick to its party always?” He illustrated his suggestion by presuming the case of an editor, an advocate of free trade, in the habit of pres = the good effect of the adoption of that doctrine. He goes, therefore,with the party most favora- ble to free trade. But by and by the party professing free trade does not do it. Shail he stand by his party or shall he express his own sincere, honest sentiment, and say the party is wrong, and he is against it in that thing? The Personnel of an Office.

The young newspaper man, too, ought to be familiar with the sciences, especially chemistry and electricity; with history; especially Ameri- can history; with the Constitution and con- stitutional law. He did’not believe much in_political economy. Mr. Dana went on to speak of the devel- opment of the association for news gather-- ing as an element in modern journalism,and said that this emancipates ‘the manager and editor of the paper from the necessity of the strenuous attention, the watchful vigi- lance which they were férmerly obliged to apply to their news columns. “So now they can make their paper more interesting by correspondence and literary and scien- tific or romantic articles, and they can do it in the same time that used to be eb- sorbed in getting the petty news of town and in reporting, for instance, that Mrs. McTabby had fallen down in the street and broken her toe. The consequence is that not quite so many men are ¢mployed on the newspapers, but they are upt to be better educated and more capable men.” The writers, correspondents and reporters are better paid generally than they were five years ago. A great many ladies are also employed on the papers as writers, artists and valuable assistants in almost every department. But the great difficulty with them was that they wouldn't stay. As soon as they become indispensable they go and marry some rich man, especially if they are pretty. Iilustrations. An interesting chapter of Mr. Dana’s dis- course was that devoted to the manner of filustrating the daily papers. There has been a great diminution in the cost of these illustrations. Twenty years ago the pro- cess was very cumbersome and expensive. “TJ should think,” he said, “to make a good and adequately extensive portrait of Mr. Cleveland after the old fashion would cost forty or fifty dollars.’ He described the precess of modern cut making, and yl that the finished picture now costs $1 on the average. He did not think much, he said, of the latest inventions in the way of color printing. He said, ‘There are lots of pictures of men dancing on tight rope, and ladies dancing without any tight rope. "These are supposed to be very popular.

The ten bookmakers at the Alexander Island track yesterday finished several lengths ahead of the talent in the scramble for the ducats, but one favorite winning. The first race was taken by an entry against which as good as 50 to 1 could have been had at one time and which closed at 30, The other events were cap- tured by second choices. The track was deep in mud and water, the going being a little too shallow for swimming and much too deep for running. The horses strug- gling and floundering in first were: Char- lie R., 30 to 1; Chateau, 2 to 5; Rufus, 2 to 1; Ben, 3 to 1, and Tioga, 8 to 1. Carroll Institute Exhibition. The second annual athletic exhibition of Carroll Institute will be given in the insti- tute gymnasium this evening.

Buckenberger, the new manager of the St. Louis Browns, has exchanged Haw- ley, the browns’ pitcher, for Ehret cf the Pittsburg team, for the consideration of $3,000, The reason that Hawley was ¢x- changed was tifat he refused to sign with the browns for 1395. Ehret has signed with the Browns. A New Battery for Washington. It seems to be a race between Managers McCioskey and-Schmelz to see who will secure the longest string of players. The latter started in last season with twenty- seven, and has now twenty-one on his list. He has just secured a six-foot amateur pitcher, who has been playing with teams in the lots about Columbus. He is named Henry Krumm, he weighs 190 and “has the speed of a whiriwind.” D. J. Mahoney, a catcher on iast year’s Portland team of the New Lngland League, has been se- cured. He is aiso big and ambitious.

A delegaticn, representing the Young Men’s Christian Association of this city, left here this morning to attend the twenty- third annual convention of the Young Men’s Christian Associations of the Dis- trict of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia, which convened at Cumber- land, Md, this afternoon. There will. be three sessions tomorrow and Saturday and four on Sunday. On Friday evening Rev. J. G. Butler of the Lutheran Memorial Church will ad- dress the convention on “The association as a church helper.” General Secretary Pugh ecnducts the discussion Saturday morning upon the topic, ‘Possibilities for educa- tional work in small cities ard towns,” and on Saturday evening Rev. F. D. Power of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church de- livers an address on “The lost arts of the church and how they are being regained.” The delegation from this city is composed of the following: J. W.

The board of aldermen of Denver, by a tle vote, has refused to appoint a commit- tee to investigate and report upon the liv- ing pictures which are being exhibited at a theater in that city. There is an ordi- nance prohibiting -indecent _ exhibitions, which it is the duty of the police board to enforce, and the W. C. T. U. ladies who protested against the pictures were ad- vised to take their case before that board. To Give Prisoners Work. The Secretary of the Navy has issued a general order instructing ccurts-martial when sentencing a prisoner to confinement to add a clause requiring the prisoner to perferm police duty while under sentence. It appears that many of the men so sen- tenced have pleaded with the authorities for permission to engage in some work in preference to the monotony of solitary confinement. ————— Corea’s King Not Poisoned. | ‘The Corean legation here has received a cablegram from Seoul denying the report avhich came to this covntry a few days ago to the effect that the King of Corea was poisoned. at the ball and heel— even some of I—* the best black \ stockings.
