We Are on Biushing Terms.


THE WAsHISGToN TINES made its first ap-
pearance yesterday morning. and was warmly
welcomed by large number of people, who
appreciated the excellences of the initial is
sue, and saw in them promise of better things
to come. Interesting in news matter, typo
graphically attractive. and breeziy independ-
ent III its editorial policy, there is no reason
why the Tines should not achieve popularity
and material success. The paper is owned by
a company composed. it is said, exclusively
of those who belong to or are in close accord
with local labor organizations, and is, to a
considerable extent, cooperative affair.
The general management has been placed in
the hands of II. J. Browne; Marshal Cush-
ing's shoulders will bear the burden of edi-
torial responsibility; Emory Foster has charge
of the city staff. With this capable combi-
nation in control, there is no reason why The
TIMES should not be as prosperous as its pro-
moters would like TO have it be. The Star
extends to the newest of its morning contem-
poraries hearty welcome, and trusts
sincerely that the shadow of The TINES may
never become less.

The WASHINGTON TIMES, morning daily,
has made very favorable impression. Its
appearance was clean and bright, presenting
pleasing typographical pages. The news col
umns were filed with the local and general
incidents of the day, edited in a clear, concise
manner A number of new feature ideas,
written in happy, entertaining style, were
especially attractive. The whole effect brought
commendation and praise to H. J. Browne,
formerly of the Post, now business manager
OF THE TIMES. and Mr.. Marshall Cushing,
the editor-in-chief.
THE TINES begins its career with circula-
ton in Washington of 10000 copies. 1,s0O of
which are delivered to the employees of the
Government Printing Office. 1t will be a
four-page paper on week days and from eight
to twenty-four on Sunday. 1t is strongly
backed by the labor organizations, and is
unique in the fact that fully 1000 persons are
interested as stockholders in its success. THE
TIMES has the Associated Press news service.

WE TSE OUR NAMES.

1t has possibly been noticed that the names
OF the general manager, the editor. and the
city editor of this paper appear at the head OF
its editorial columns. There is method in
this madness. The intention is not to enable
three more or less human persons, who are
more or less susceptible TO fattery.to see
their names in print That, as Shakespeare
or Ignatius Donnelly would say, is from the
purpose of our playing, with the accent on

Browne conducts the paper generally. and

and operations; Mr.. Foster is the gentleman
who instigates and elaborates the local news,

The Business High School, the finest feat

where the children of the mechanic or man
of small means can get in one or two years
practical finish TO their requirements in the
graded schools, is squeezed in the rented
Miner building like bank note in hy-
draulic press. Started as an experiment four
years ago, the Business High School has
gained more in attendance in the last three
years than all the other high schools COM
bined. Its 500 pupils are iammed into the
basement and attic of a building which three
years ago was considered too small for $50
pupils of the Colored High School, who then
occupied it, and who were promptly provided
with an adequate new building. The board
Of trustees did ask for a new building, but
their recommendation never got into the esti-
mates. Next year, for lack ofroom, a hundred
bright, ambitious children will be denied
chance to gain means of ready self-support
as typewriters, stenographers and account
ants.
Yet who protests? In another city there
would be riotous assemblies of voters over
such an offense. Here not even are the peo-
pie made aware through the usual channels
of public information that the school interests
are menaced with destruction. Hundreds OF
dreary columns about Hawaii-a morsel of
ocean mud. with less than one-third OF our
population and not one-tenth of our wealth
and importance-are printed. but no protest
against the strangling of our schools. The
crowding of one little colored friendless.

THEY HAD BETTER BREAK AWAY.

This tariff bill of Mr. Wilson's, just now
under discussion in the Senate Finance Com
mittee, doesn't go upo its passage for the
simple reason that the two trusts, the sugar
trust and the whisky trust. fight each other,
contending each for the million or ten million
dollars involved in its own special protection.
These trusts have employed the usual frowsy
list of lobbyists and scavenserss. They have
doubtless influenced Senators and members,
we know not how, exactly They have even
subsidized the papers, all of which it is their
right to do if they care to spend their money
for such purposes, and if the scavengers and
members and papers can stand it.
But what about some action on the part of
Congress-on the part of a Congress which
finds itself confronting and expected to re-
lieye a business depression unparalleled in
a generation? If the Wilson bill is to be
passed. LET it be passed. If it must be beaten,
let it be beaten. For the love of suffering
labor and failing trade, for the love of poor,
bedraggled American decency, let something
be donei We can stand it, whatever it is.
What if q seourge should come, a whip with
lashes, to drive these jobbers and money
changers and miscreants out of the corridors
of the Capitol, out of the sacred, polluted
temple of liberty? Who should be the shame
less victims of this wrath?

Will you net exert your influence to have the

me that the gentlemen who take such pride in
carefully guarding the Capitol grounds during
the dangerous daytime should see to it that the
pedestrians of the night and early morning are

SOME RIFLES BULLETS.

To say they painted the Old Guard fair room
! red last night would be drawing it very
mild. 1t was the visit of the scarlet-coated
Rifles to the fair room of the Old Guard in
the Washington Light Infantry Armory.
Promptly at o'clock the Old Guard. headed
by the Artillery Band stood ready and watt
ing in front of the Rifles armory to escort
the boys TO their fair room, where for
week past the Old Guard have been drawing
large crowds and gathering in the shekels.
There has been forged a very strong link in
the chain of friendship holding these two Or
ganizations together. and they are ever ready
TO help one another along in whatever way
they can. Last night the Rifles gave decided
help and threw to the winds thoughts of
hard times. They spent their money with
lavish hand. The boys toek part in the dane

Washington Post March,
At meeting of the National Rifles. held
some time since. it was decided to take a
summer trip to the seashore the latter part of
July or first of August. Asbury Park is the
destination of this body of soldier boys, and
that charming seaside resort will be livelier
than usual this season. The Rifles will take
| away large number of honorary members,
as it always does on its summer trips. and
they will be looked after. too. in manner
that will make their stay pleasant. Arrange
ments are not yet complete, and it is not
known yet which hotel will be the head
quarters of this crack soldier company.
Enough is known that the management at
Asbury Park is anxious to have the soldier
boys there. and they will go about seventy
five strong. The recruiting committee of the
Rifles are busy every week examining new
recruits. and there is already spirit of
activity around the armory which may see
the boys march away TO the seashore this
summer 100 strong.
The popularity of the National Rifles as
social organization was fully assured. judg-
ing from the success of their military hop
prior to the Lenten season. The decorations
of the hall were as much admired as were
the toilets of the many handsome ladies
present. Their next tuIl dress hop will occur
on Thursday evening. March 80. and the
friends of these popular boys will turn out
in force and may be sure of a good time.
