The war against living pictures recently
inaugurated in New York bids fair to pro-
duce two excellent results. In the first
place 1t is likely to stop the more objec-
tionable features of that class Of exhibit
tons; and when that is accomplished 1t
il understood that a lively assault is to be
made against the exposures made by the
low-neck dresses worn by the DANES and
damsels of the four hundred in the private
boxes of the opera houses and theaters,
which Mrs. Grannis, president of the So
cial Purity League, pronounces far more
vulgar and indecent than the complained
of living pictures. Self-respecting people
will be quite willing TO see both branches

Congress will be with US Monday to re-
main for three months and to do as SEEM
eth unto 1t best either for the nation or in
behalf of the party which at present is in
control. At this time anything approach
ing prophecy as to what may be done in
the line of general legislation would be
nothing less than absurd, for the leaders
themselves have practically confessed in
completeness of plans and look forward to
the probability of non-action. Out of such
a situation as seems to exist, the District
of Columbia should be able to secure a
little more attention than has recently
been accorded IT Icy it's common council
and board of aldermen-the Senate and
House of Representatives in Congress as
sembled. The District is in urgent need of
many things it can get only through the
national Legislature and. before adjourn
ment comes, strenuous effort will be made
to secure the long-delayed congressional en-
dorsement of designs which meet with more
or less of local approval. One of the things
as to which there is Unanimously favorable
sentiment is the bill providing for the es-
Establishment of free library; bill to
which no reasonable being could possibly
offer any objection. A new municipal
building is needed-a structure In which all

will be demand for amended legislation as
TO the police and fire departments; a move
ment to bring up the bond-issue bill, and
strong effort in support of the sound
proposition to extend the civil service
rules so as to protect municipal employees.

Will take up the steam railroad problem,
and although a solution may not be ex-
pected before March. still considerable pro-
gress could be made in negotiating with
the railroad companies, whose consent
seems to be absolutely necessary. From all
parts of the country appear to come re-
quests that the closing session of the Fiji
ty-third Congress shall do as little as pos
sible with general legislation; the District
OF Columbia will second the motion If the
time is devoted to improving governmental
and other conditions at the national cap
ital.

The reputation of the Virginia Jockey
Club has been considerably enhanced by
the clubs determination to refrain from
anything that has the appearance of win
ter racing. For awhile it seemed as though
the club was intent upon violating the
rules of the National Jockey Club and
doing material damage to itself by con-
ti.uing its meeting into that season of the
year when the only excuse for horse rae
ing can be found in the large financial
benefits that accrue from partnership with
the professional gamblers, who, in recent
years and in great numbers, have turned
their attention to the race-track. Con-
sideration of the influences that brought
about complete defeat of the withdrawing
proposition Is unnecessary; 1t is enough
that the track at St. Asaph will be closed
until spring. Up to this time the conduct
of the club has been such as to command
the respect of those who enjoy honest
horse racing-it4 has done It's best to run
things squarely as it knew how, and to
preserve order during its meeting-and 1t
is pleasurable to commend such a con-
spicuous piece of good behavior as that
to which especial refernce is now being
made.
Winter racing is inhuman sport at best;
the horses are of the most Inferior sort
and the men are lower still. Vigorous
enforcement OF law banished winter rae
ing from the District of Columbia, and al
though the strangely-lax statutes of Vir-
ginia may permit the cruel nuisance to
exist within a short distance of this city,
II Is nevertheless gratifying to know that
men of pride and decenCy will have MOTH
ing whatever to do with it. The Virginia
Jockey Club Is not a great moral institu-
tion-it is not engaged in an endeavor to
purify the quite foggy atmosphere in
which latter-day racing is carried on, nor
Is 1t raiding tho bookmakers who are
responsible largely for the fog-but 1t has
done creditably throughout It's meeting and
has done excellently well in deciding that
this is the time to stop.

Cleveland's Official family are putting
themselves on record as believers in civil

Secretary Hoke Smith of the Interior De
partment, in his annual report, made pub
lie yesterday, says that it is the earnest pur-
pose of the Indian bureau and the Interior
Department to study the employees through
out the entire Indian service, to make pro-
ficiency the sole standard of retention in
office and to make apparent capacity the
sole ground for new appointments Says
the secretary:
1.-The work of the development of the In
dian is necessarily slow. Their peculiar
tiles must be studied and understood, not
as whole, but as members of particular
tribes, before those engaged in their super
vision are fit for successful work Perma-
necy of service, therefore, is absolutely
necessary to success. L believe it is pos
Sihle to develop a competent, permanent,
non-partisan Indian service, and L hope
before the end of another year that such
progress will have been made in this direc
ton that its realization will be assured"
y
Smith is engaged in formulating plans by
the operation of which the entire Indian
service will soon be under the protection
of the civil service law. Nothing is said as
to the details of this altogether desirable
scheme, but these will doubtless be made
known in due season. Secretary Smith
might however. have gone much further
than he did. If civil service reform is
good thing for the Indian service. it is d
good thing IN every other branch of the
great department which he at present con-
trolls. The Il believe 1T is possible" an
nounccment would indicate that the sec
rotary thought that other intelligent peo-
pie might disagree with him. There Is no
probability OF such difference of opinion
The entire civil service of this country can
be conducted more fairly and more eco
nomically under the civil service law than
1t can be even under the most humane and
semi-businesslike regulations of the spells
system.

The momentous point Is in preventing Yale

A justifiable course would be for men who

who are not gentlemen. But it need not
be carried so far this If there Is proper
umpiring. In the future let an umpire be
selected who will order at once from the
field any man who undertakes to injure an
opponent. 1t ought to be easy to find such
an umpire and much of the discredit OF
