WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH ii.

THE REPORT of the chairman of the citi-
zens' committee engaged in roofing out the
robber ring OF the District OF Columbia has
been published. 1t shows condition Of
affairs so improbable as to be almost incred
IDLE were the proof not of the most positive
direct anu irrefragable character. 1t seems
inhuman that men i'll receipt of large sala-
ries, derived in part from the taxes levied
upon the citizens Of the District, should
plan the robbery of those citizens, and bring
expert burglars from other cities to carry
those plans into execution. And yet that
is just what the detectives Of the District
have done, as shown by the most conclu-
sive evidence. The people of the District
went to bed under the natural belief that
the men they were paying to protect their
lives and property were discharging that
duty, but walked up to find that those very
men had been robbing them. If the peni-
Tertiary doesn't get large number of re-
cruits from the detective force Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the courts of the district
should also undergo an investigation.
