The city Is full of burglars, pick pockets
and sneak thieves, and hardly a night has
passed for several weeks without its record
OF daring rooberies- And yet the arrests are
singularIy rare. There must be somethi ng
radically wrong somewhere when crime is
steadily and rapidly on the increase and ar
rests do not show proportionste.g gain. Gen.
tlemen District Commissioners, Pc ice Com
missioners, and Chief OF Police, IL is about
time for you to take some extraordinary me H.
sures 70 bring about a change in this respect
The public mind Is becoming uneasy and ma
turally 30. We are rapidly drifting to q
point where neither life nor property will be
longer safe in Washington.

Many people are beginning TO INQUIRE of
what practical use Arctic explorations are
Expedition after expedition has been fittei
out only TO reach certain point and thea
eturn, most OF them reporting that they
found IL impossible TO penetrate to the north
pole Capt. Hail proposed to reach the pole
OF sledge journeys but died before he could
put his plans into execution. while Kane
and Hayes found an open sea which they
could not cross because OF the lack OF proper
boats. Capt Mares, of the last British ex pc
oiuon, reached latitude 50 degrees and %
minutes which Is q trifie higher than that
reached by any former explorer, but like his
predecessors he too failed TO reach the pole
The New York Times thinks there IL some
thing suspicious In the fact that almost
every expedition should winter In Smiths
sound, and asks whether 1t In desire for q
cool climate, or love Of hunting, or OF
poker, or thirst to study the Esquimaux
Language that leads men to this particular
locality. The New York Journal of Commerce
referring to the late expedition, says that OF
course mankind will never be content to
abandon the Polar search definitely. 1t is
utile 20 argue against the inutiIity. As
ong as geographical societies exist, COM
nunities ana governments Will be psrioti-
calIy entreated 70 get up expeditions to the
Pole. The misfortunes of the recent Amert-
can venture are about forgotten, and next
year We shall probably hear fresh appeals to
Congress for $4,000 appropriation to try
again And 10 will be indeed a delightful
surprise II the dear old "a latics VINO nave
stood by the Smith Sound line so long do
not continue 10 insist Oh that as the ONLY
one 10 be thought of. The Journal further
says that II other nations want TO sink any
more money on these explorations they may
do 80, but for one II Will object to giving
another dollar for such purposes out of the
federal ccffers.

The New YORK Times estimates that not
more than leo, 900 votes will be polIed In ths /,
city on election day. OF the waole number
registered IL Is believed that twelve or fifteen
thousand will not vote for various reasons
A large number OF these are persons who
have committed some fraud, and who Will
be afraid TO attempt TO cast illegal votes
The TInes says that all the "dodges" OF the
politicians have been very carefully watched,
and that II will be something approaching q
miracle should any large body of fraudulent
votes be cast. A number OF persons have
already been arrested for illegal registration,
which fact will probably do much towards
keeping many repesters and others OF like
ilk nom the polls on election day.

Reading Matter on Every Page
The Outlook.

Commenting upon the aspect OF the Presi
dental canvass In Its closing week, the New
York HeT0Id says that "tne only safe infer
ence that can be drawn from these I'VE
months OF partisan turmoil and recrimina-
tion IL that IL Is a nee K and neck race. The
result Is quite rs doubtful as IL was on the
day when the canvass opened" Toe exceed
ing closepess of the contest is illustrated by
the fluctuations In the pool rooms, where the
betting is governed by the advices received
by the gamblers from what they hold to be
the best sources of Information. Thus a
fortnight ago the betting was In favor of
Hay e.; then Tflden began 10 creep up In the
poo.-selling, and for some days held the po
sition Of favorite. In the selling yesterday
In New York, as reported in the New YORK
Express, q democratic paper, Hayes gradu-
ally mounted To the side Of his ri val, ami at
one pool room, the Turf Exchange, was the
favorite, standing at l95, 70 $50 for rIlden. At
Morrissey's and Johnson g In the last pool sold
Hayes aud Tilden stood at 100 each. Curious
lyI at all the pool-roOms, except In the closing
sale at the Turf Exchange, the democ ratio
candidate for Governor Robinson, was the
favorite, indicating that the betting was
based upon the superstition that Hayes may
he elected without the aid OF the state of
New York. At the Turf Exchange the
closing sale was 105 on Morgan to 100 for
hODinsOD; al JOnnsOn's IL was ITO On Robin
son to 100 on Morgan; at Morrissey's IL was
lilo on Robinson TO % on Morgan.
In this city the pool-selling at the Imperial
Hotel last night on the general result iudi-
Gated Tilden largely the favorite, standing
100 for Tilden to 40 for Hayes. The pool
selling In this city has, however, not been
reduced to the unimpsssioned mechanical
process OF the New York pool rooms, and is
not as reliable an index.
The interest shown by the public In the
quotations at the pool rooms arises from
the fact that In close political contests the
most dispassionate data as to probable re-
suits has been developed there. For In
stance, the results of the October elections
In Indiana and Ohio were foreshadowed with
precision by the pool selling in New York,
which, after huctuating with the tide OF
battle In the two states, settled down lust
prior To the election, with Williams as the
favorite In Indiana and Bell the favorite In
Ohio- The fluctuations In the pool-selling
now In New York on the national issue in
dicate that up TO the present time the data
obtained is not decisive as to the result
Within few days the preponderance of
hopefulness has undoubtedly been with tie
democrats, but yesterday the republicans
seemed 10 be in q SUMMER MOOD than of late
The reports from the republican state and
nation al committees within the last twenty.
lour hours are said to be more hopeful.

A South Carolina correspondent, writing
TO q New York paper, states that the ride

under the names OF Benevolent AssocIa-

same correspondent says they no loager
carry rides, but that every man Is armed

piance with the Presidents proclamation.
