Unpunislicd Ruilians.


These are troublous times for the local phi
lanthropist. If he keeps his eyes and ears open
he Is panied constantly by ohenses for which
neither law nor gospel seem to provide remedy
OF punishment. Unconsciously he sighs for
that relic of barbarism," the whipping post
rs an annex to our police court. ON last Mon
day evening, about o'clock, u fellow OF I'm
pressive Drawn and muscle was observed BY u
resident on Fourteenth between Il and )
streets northwest, violently thrusting his fist
into the side of Il small, delicate woman, who
seemed to be very anxious TO get away from
him. and yet was afraid to make an outcry
She finally cDdcavorcd TO escape across a va
cant lot, but he overlook her and was heard to
say, with an oath, II Will kill you tonight for
this An effort was made to bring police
man to her aid, but in vain on the following
day the writer came upon policeman In that
neighborhood, but the officer was unable 10
identify that particular brute from description
'"The only regular wife beater know ON my
beat lives at -. but the woman daers not
make complaint, and so l cannot interfere.
said the patrolman.
Some time since policeman was appealed
to to rescue a daughter, nearly woman
grown, who was being brutally beaten BY her
rcputed father and mother at her "God-bless.
our-homc," not far from the corner of Tenth
and o streets northwest The officer inyesti-
gated the case but declined to interfere, CIV
ing as an excure for his non-setion that he
could not ''see as any blood was drawn" II Is
lamentable that u brute may beat his wife aud
daughter with impunity with blows which II
dealt upon his horse would subject him to in
stant arrest and punishment.
on Sunday evening last, at about O'Clock,
terrific battle with stones was fought, some ten
colored hoodlums pitted against equal numbers,
on opposite sides of the new circle below the
capitol grounds, on Maryland avenue. l en-
joyed the slight protection of o street car, in
which was passing at the time, and did not
survey the field after the battle. With but one
policeman to the, square mile in Washington,
II is always possible for such exhibitions OF
juvenile rufianism at some selected points,
The best, and probably the only, preventive
for them Is humane education, ignore II as
we may, this is still the great problem for this
day, this hour, and this place, in which the
newsboys' "all about the murder" has nearly
lost its power to stimulate the paper trade.

The potato crop of Virginia during the
last census year was 2,0l6,706 bushels
and 1t was protected by the tariff to the
extent of fifteen cents a bushel, or, in the
aggregate, $3O2,50 Does the farmer
really need this protection? In reply to
this question we state a single fact OBJ
tanned at the custom house at Norfolk
from which our readers can draw their
own differences. On Jan. A, 1883, cargo
of 1850 bushels of potatoes was imported
into Norfolk in the schooner Kate Nc
Clintock, upon which the required duty
of fifteen cents bushel was paid, which,
we arc informed, was sold at satsiac-
tory profit; in other words, the importer
paid this tax or license for the privilege
of competing with our own farmers in
their home market, and was vet we'll paid
for his venture. Comment is needless.

The world grows weaker and wiser.
and the never ending cycle of years
brings new revelations. Scientific
discoveries open new fields for invest
tgation.
History repeats itself. The human
race multipiies,
Buried cities are .unearthed and
their ancient tablets deciphered. We
read from the rocks the story of Great
ion. Mechanical Instruments assist
in investigating every field.
The microscope searches out the
mysteries of tie minute, the telesoops
prizes into the secrets of the most dis
tant objects and penetrates the very
nebulsr We fancy that we have un-
covered the mysteries of this world
and must look elsewhere for con-
quests.
But no, back ia the past, shrouded
in the most impenetrable gloom and
surrounded by the deepest mystery is
the modern slang phrase. We search
in vain for its history but it leaves no
record, tradition alone preserves it.
Like the fly and the mosquito it
comes and goes as silently as the fall
ing leaves. 1t has many worshippers
in its days of prosperity, but, when its
race is run, it passes into an un-
mOurned oblivion.
Of ilIegitimate birth or unknown
origin, it is welcomed into all circles;
meaningless in itself, it becomes an
expression for everything. Through
the length and breadth of land, it
walks up and down seeking whom it
may devOur. 1t is never satisfied
with its cOnquests and its capaciOus
NAV is ever open
Most things grow old and wear a
thFeadbare appearance, but the slang
phrase always retains its freshness
until Outshone by some rival, it dis
appears as silently and secretly as it
appeared.
The use of these phrases is growing
upon the people, but the masses
can't see it." The times are getting
''tOo fast. but the average young
American is up with them, land don't
you forget it," He can't see it in
that light" and you may bet your
bottom dollar on that.H The chief
function OF this phrase seems to be to
give expression to unthOught
thoughts. When man speaks in
parallels, he may be looked upon as u
prophet, a philosopher or fool, and
