That was very credtable piece OF work
which was done by the Fourth Battalion
or the District National Guard on Tuesday
evening Without premonitory intimation
of his intent, Col. Clay decided to call out.
as II for service, that portion of his regi-
ment which is commanded ty Mai Camp
bell. The men to be summoned live In
widely separated portions of the city, vet.
IN but a few minutes over an hour from
the time OF Col. Clay's telephone message
TO Maj Campbell. siXty-three per cent of
the battalion was in uniform, under arms
and ready to do any duty that might be
required of them. The showing was re-
markably good and highly credltable The
system by which such rapid assembly is
made possible is common to the entire
brigade, and 1t is but reasonable TO believe
that the whole Of General Ordway's COM
mand could be assembled at some central
point in less than one hour and a half.
The training of the citizen-soldier has
been wonderfully improved during the
past few years, and especially is that fact
evident in Washington. Nowhere else can
there be found a brigade of volunteer troops
that has I'm it smaller proportion of the
play soldier element than is to be found in
the District National Guard. The instruction
Is entirely practical. based on all that is
latest and best In military science, and
as result the District of Columbi has a
reserve police force equal in point of eff
cheney to any in the United States-an Or
ganization of which every good citizen
should be proud and with which Cor gress
should deal literally

Residents OF the National Capital are
without information as to what the Ohio
authorities propose to do with the crank
organizing an army" at the head of which
he expects to march to this city and into
the halls OF Congress. Mr.. Coxey's inten-
ton may be wholly good but the aggrega-
ton Of thousands to make up such a nv-
ing petition as the Ohio crank has de-
signed is a dangerous proceeding. Sup
posing that the army when it leaves
MasSillOn should consist of gOdly and law
abiding citizens, it will not move twenty
miles before it attracts to membership and
association a considerable number of dis
reputable and criminal characters. who
In a little while. will control the organiza-
ton and make Of ii a lawless and terror
Inspiring mob. Ii is all nonsense for Coxey
and his supportGrs-sOme of whom have
UP to this time been credited with the pos
session Of reasonably good sense-to claim
that the multitude will be unarmed and is
rot going To commit depreda tions upon
property along the route which Mr.. Coxey
has mapped out: If the march takes place
there will be much of thieving done. and
many more serious crimes committed. To
persons at this end Of the line II seems
quite imprCJa bic that the governor of Ohio
Will permit the thousands to rendezvous at
and move from Alassillon which Coxey an
nOunces will congregate at that point on
Sunday next. and it does not seem possible
that the governors Of either Pennsylvania
or NaryIaH Will allow any considerable

number of mentally unbalanced and other
wise dangerous men to parade through
their respective states, but at this time it
appears as though the army was going
TO start in this direction. Immediate an
nouncement of gubernatorial intention to
interfere may smash all of Mr.. Coxey's
plans, and such a contamination is to be
devoutly wished for. But whatever is or is
not done by the state authorities it is GER
tain that the general government-which
Is peculiarly supreme in the District Of
Columbia-will never permit the entrance
Into this city of any organized body intent
on demonstrations that can hardly be other
wise than hostile to Congress. In one of
his statistical moods, Coxey announced
that he would have with him when he APP
pealed to the national legislature not less
than one hundred thousand unemploy ed
men. How could such vast number of
penniless mortals be subsisted? Congress
certainly would not appropriate money for
the purchase of food for them. and there
Is no reason why citizens should go down
into their own pockets to support the idle
mob. A condition would therefore exist
which would be prolific of crime-a condi-
ton which should never be allowed to
materialize. 1t is possible that the army"
may never reach Washington, and. pos
sessed of that belief. many people are in
clined TO laugh when they read of the pre-
parations that are being made at Massillon,
but against that possibility is a powerful
probability that the army" will organize
and that its commander-in-chief will at
least make a serious effort to carry out
his plans.

A new weakness in the Aqueduct Bridge
was made known to the public through
yesterdays issue Of The Star; 1t must have
been evident to all who read the report of
the examining engineers that at least one
pier Of the ancient structure is in danger
Of complete collapse. For the present there
Is therefore possibility of the sacrifice
of a portion Of the bridge to the street rail-
road companies whose desire 1t is to cross
the Potomac and get into the city at
point above the lead Of general naviga-
ton. But this is undoubtedly the time to
make proper provision for the repairs
which the engineers declare TO be absolutely
necessary. II Congress proposes to grant
to one. two or three or more suburban
eCmpaIies the privilege of using the Aque-
duct Bridge there should in the permissive
legislation be a clause which will throw
the expense Of putting the bridge in order
ard maintaining it upon the companies now
APPLYING for extremely valuable concessions.
1t is urged in behalf Of the corporations
which desire entrance into the city that
neither Of them can afford to construct a
bridge, but they are surely able, by COM
tining resources to throw a suitable struc-
ture across the river somewhere in the
neighborhood Of the Three Sisters. IL. how
ever. there is no disposition on the part
of Congress to compel such desirable ac-
ton. there ought to be a statutory pro-
vision throwing upon the petitiOning COM
panies the burden of repairing and keep
ing in good condition the bridge they have
marked for their own. Throughout its en-
tire history the District OF Columbia has
been foolishly liberal in the matter Of char
ters. but it has recently learned several
lessons that ought not easily to be forgot
ten. II Congress decides to let the rail-
roads use the Aqueduct Bridge it should.
in all fairness, assess the cost of recon-
strUction upon those who are to be the
principal beneficiaries; and it should
to 1t that the use Of the piers for railway
purposes is granted only under such con-
ditions that there will be diminution Of
or Interference with the present use of the
bridge by pedestrians and vehicles.

1t should be a very easy matter for Con-
gress at its present session to pass some
bill definitely regulating the sale and use
of butterine, oleomargarine or any of the
other limitations of butter in the District Of
Columbia There should be protective safe
guards thrown around the consumer of
such articles well as about the dealers
and purchasers. Whether butterine and
similar manufactures are wholesome or
otherwise does not enter into the question
Food products should be sold in such I
manner and used by the purchasers of
them in such way that ncne can be by
any possibility deceived in what they buy
or what they eat y law compelling all
dealers in butterine or oleomarSarine to
stamp the name of the article upon each
portion sold, and to require every hotel
restaurant or similar establishment where
meals are served and sold to announce
that such articles are used in the prepara-
ton Of food, If such is the case in the most
public manner possible, would cover the
case to a nicety, providing it carried heavy
penalties for those who disregarded its pro-
visions. Such law would rot unjustly in
1ura the industry, and would prevent a
large number of persons from being meanly
imposed upon.

The friends Of good government scored a
court of New Jersey put an end to the strife
which has been waged between two legis-
lative bodies, each claiming to be the state
senate. The usurping faction was COM
posed almost exclusively OF what is known
In Jersey as the ''race-track gang" and 1t
was the intention of these legislators to
undo as much as possible of the good work
done last year by a majority of those who
were then engaged in making statutes for
Jerseys government At the head of the
disturbing and now routed element was the
sporting magnate known the country over
as the Duke of Gloucester" and among
his supporters were many who, like himself,
have never imagined themselves as other
than superior to law. Satisfied that the reg
ularly organized senate could not be worked
in the interest Of the bookmakers, the Duke
of Gloucester decided TO organize a senate
Of his own-a senate that would give the
winter-racing gamblers all the encourage
ment and protection they needed. For
a while it seemed as though, with the as
sistance Of New Jerseys governor, the con-
spiracy might succeed. but an appeal to the
supreme tribunal of the state has resulted
in. overwhelming defeat for those who pro-
posed to prostitute the states legislating
power to their own private and personal
financial advantage. Altogether, this is a
bad year for the disreputable in politics.

Henry Irving, who has just completed a
professional visit Of twenty-eight weeks in
this country. IS reported to have received
about 100000 In gross receipts during that

similar time has taken in such a large sum
OF money. When it is considered that dur

felt the pinchings of hard times this array
of figures furnishes material for a good deal
of solid thought. In this connection IL is
also worth noting that the bulk of theater

Grants Pass by Engineers Waite and
Porter. The formers was laid up for

seems to be the intention Of the COM
pany to put six of these engines on
between Rnseburg and Portland to
take place Of eight smaller ones now
in use, the two running south to take
the place Of three now running there.
They will then take off two of the
helpers here and one at Grants Pass,
throwing three crews out Of employ
ment. The engineers do not seem TO
take kinaly to the big machines,
believing them 10 be rather risky
things to run on, especially south

Il is impossible to see any distance

following: A man giving the name
Of Henry Waterhouse; hailing from
Albany, went into First street bar
ber shop Friday afternoon and asked
for bath. 1t was noticed that he
was slightly intoxicated. but no par
ticular attention was paid to him, and
he was shown into hath room. He
was heard to splash around awhile
and then everything became quiet.
So quiet that the janitor became
curious and looked over the door.
The man lay in the water apparently
dead The door was broken open and
1t WAS ascertained that Waterliouse
was almost drowned, A physician
who was summoned, however, sue
ceeded in resuscitsting him and he
came out all right. Too much booze
caused him TO fall asleep and he had
a narrow escape.
