CRAEKs IN WASHINGTON.

The annual report Of the sanitary officer Of
the police department, while showing con-
siderable increase in the number of trsmps
and imposJors who have sought relief from
the department, also shows the interesting
fact that there have been fewer visitors of the
crank order TO the Capital during the last
year than for some years past.
This sociological fact is Of some importance,
for the Capital is constantly overrun with IN
fortunate people of unbalanced mind, either
having some grievance against high official
or some claim againstthe government These
people give much annoyance TO the police and
to the guardians of public buildings, and are
real source Of danger, as the experience OF
the past has abundantly demonstrated.
Ii would be interesting to know just why
this diminution of the crank invasion should
have occurred during the past year Do the
hard times influence the movements of this
GLASS as they do the movements Of other
classes Of the community? Or is there some
subtle cause Of the decline?

great strike. On the one hand, the Pullman
Company and the General Managers Asso-
citation: on the other, the American Railway
Union. In the mind of the general public the
last named organization has been held re-
sponsible. almost entirely. for whatever dis
turbances, disorders, and acts of violsnce
were the result or incidents of the strike of
the railroad employees. 1t is of the last i'm
portaace that President CleYeand's commits
sioners absolve the American Railway Union
not only of all wrong doing, but even of coun-
selling anything that savored OF lawlessness
or disregard of the rights of property.
The commissions report strips from the
Pullman corporation all the hollow pretenses
OF philanthropy and regard for the welfare of
its employees with which it has been in the
habit of gulling the public. 1t shows it up as
grasping monopoly. with not a particle OF
consideration for aught but its own interests;
without any regard whatsoever for the per-
sons in its employ; pinching where wages are
TO be paid; gra7ping where rents are to ee
collected. The report shows the town OF FIll-
man to be whitened sepuicnre, fair to look
upon from without, but full of wretchedness
and misery within.
AS for the General Managers Association
the commission lays mueh of the blame for
the strike at its door on account of its arbi-
trary dealings with the employees on the
different -oads, and it declares it to be body
without any standing in law.

SUGAR STILL In THE LEAD
Nearly Half Of the Trading Was in
Shares OF that Stock.
OUTSIDERS ARE VERY TIMID
They Are Wary of Speculation and Slow to
Believe in Improvement in the Market
Volume of Business Lighter Than 1t Has
Been For the Past Ten Days.

New YORK, Nov. 15.-The volume Of busi-
ness on the Stock Exchange to-day was
lighter than for the past few days, and there
were indications that the favorable influences
OF the election and the government loan were
losing their effect on the share speculation
Both OF these incidents were taken advantage
of by the professional operators to create the
impression that permanent improvement in
share values was assured. in the hope of at
tracing the investigating element to the stock
market
But the outsiders are wary. They have been
deceived so often that they are not SO easily
caught now by the glitter that may not after
all tell of gold. They are cautious even unto
timidity and appear to be determined to wait
until all doubt is removed from the situation.
The speculative conditions are still uncer-
tain, and the cliques and traders are lef: TO
fight it out among themselves. Outside Df
Sugar, which furnished nearly half OF the
day transactions, the trading was small, st.
Paul being the only other stock in which the
dealings reached 10, 900 shares. London was
not in the market 10 any extent, and very lit
tie business was done for any but the local
account.
Sugar was manipulated by the inside pool,
which moved 1t up and down at its pleasure.
Opening unchanged from yesterday, the
stock rose g, reacted 1s and before noon had
advanced 2% per cent. TO S03z. During the
afternoon the shares were freely offered for
sale, and in the late dealings touched S71l,

NONE BUT THE BEST.

In selecting an inspector Of buildings for
this city the Commissioners, of course, will
look closely into the character and fitness of
candidates. That goes without the saying
But it would seem that something more Is
necessary than the ordinary qualifications OF
q practical carpenter or builder.
Times and conditions have changed greatly
In Washington since the late Mr.. Entwisle was
appointed inspector of buildings, eighteen
years ago. Then there were comparatively
few buildings extraordinary either as 10 size,
height. or internal arrangement. But few
there were in the construction of which the
ordinary theoretical or practical knowledge
of frst-class carpenter would not have suf-
feed. Since then, however. Washington has
become city of great edihces, structures the
building Of which ought to be directed by the
best talent that can be secured.
Technical knowledge Of no mean character
must come into play in the construction OF
any Of the great buildings in which hundreds
Of persons ply their vocation. Upon the sci
entifc training and vigilance Of the inspector
OF buildings depends, in no small measure,
the safety OF life and limb OF these. Many a
catastrophe may be averted by proper super
vision exercised when the building is in
course Of erection.
For these reasons. the selection OF an in
spector Of buildings will be watched with
keen interest, and more than ordinary anx-
ietv

Associated Charities Visitors Being Scat.
tered Oyer the City for Quick Work.
The time for active and earnest charity
work has arrived. This is the shibboleth OF
Manager L. s. Emery and his associate
workers in the great charity organization
with which they are connected. When seen
by TIMES reporter last evening, Mr.. Emery
said:
I'm advance of the important meeting of
the Associated Charities which will be held
on the 9th instant, we are scattering our vis-
ltors all over the District Up to this evening
we have selected forty-eight persons to visit
the poor promptly when applications for re-
to our headquarters. Before the present
month is ended we will be in shape TO handle
any emergency that may arise.
1--WE are going TO increase the number OF
visitors in South Washington by adding ten
persons to the present list in that locality, be-
cause we believe the demands from the south
ern section will be very great this winter.
Four of these will be supplied by Reve DR..
Gottwald from the congregation OF st. Mark s
Lutheran Church, G street. between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets southwest, while six
OF the new visitors will he selected from Rev.
DR.. Bittngers Presbyterian congregation"
Mr. Emery also stated that applications
for aid are pouring in daily. while but few
contributions of any sort are being received
and the relief fund is about exhausted.

DISARMAMENT IN EUROPE.

While the army bill was under discussion
In the Austria-Hungarian rechsrath, a few
days ago, the minister of war made the sig
niicant statement that Austria is willing to
join other powers in a general disarmament.
Although the declaration loses something of
force from the well-known miserable condi-
tion of Austrian inances-these being kept
in their demoralized state principally by rea-
son of the sacrifices that must be made TO
keep up a great military establishment-yet
il is portent that the rulers of Europe are
beginning to appreciate the discomfort of
their people over the enormous burdens they
are compelled to carry IN order that the re-
spective country's military prestige may not
suffer.
The time is not far distant when general
disarmament will be seriously considered by
the monarchs of Europe, even by Germany's
''war lord" Before it comes there will prob
ably be another great conflict, another gigan-
tic shock Of arms, because the preparations
for it have been and constantly are going on,
and it will be precipitated blythe natural laws
Of gravitation. But from that conflict the
participants will emerge with energies so
weakened, with resources so crippled, with
the people so appal. ed at the sacrifice of hu-
man life, and the wreck and devastation of
the creations of mems toll and handiwork,
that they vii! compel their rulers to give heed
to the universal demand for peace. Not the
peace that rests upon treaties; not the peace
that depends upon the voliton of the treaty
makers, but the peace that results from the
knowledge of the fact that the facilities for
making war are lacking.
1t has been said that strife is the natural
condition Of man. This may be true to a GER
tain extent Absolute peace among all ma
tions may not be attainable, but condition
can be established that will at least make wal
less frequent than il has been so far.
And the disarmament Of the nations oi
Europe will be long step in that direction.

THE STRIKE COMMISSIONS REPORT.

affairs. in its current issue makes a savage
onslaught upon the report Of the strike CON-
mission appointed by President Cleveland.

most far-reaching sociological problems that

every civilized country.

The Washington times., 1894-11-16
GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT is

1t has become the fashion nowadays among
pulpit orators-perhaps 1t would be more cor
rect to say that il is still the fashion-to be-
rate the secular press whenever a pretext pre-
sents itself for so doing. Sometimes it hap
pens even without such pretext. In fact, the
majority Of preachers give only a sort of half
RrudginR recognition to the newspaper They
look upon it as a kind of ''fn du siecle'' work
OF the devil that must be made use of TO
frighten people.
There are exceptions to all this. OF course
There are ministers who recognize the fact
that the daily newspaper is a powerful moral
agent and pioneer and helpful worker in
whatever field religion, morality, and phllan-
thropy are to be cultivated, or wickedness
and immortality TO be combatted. They do not
hesitate to acknowledge the obligations under
which the pulpit rests with respect to the
press, and they give the latter the proper
need Of praise for the good it does.
To this class OF clergymen belongs the
Rev. DR.. John L. scudder, pastor of the Jer-
spoke concerning the great part Rev. DR..
Parkhurst had taken in bringing about the
overthrow Of Tammany and then he said:
''Next O. this heroic man we must com mpliment
the great newspapers which took so active a
part in this glorious battle for law and order
Justice compels US 10 speak OF them in terms Of
highest admiration What tremendous agency
Cor good the secular press has been in the re-
cent election Bow would this victory have been
accomplished without their prodigious activity
and Worldwide circulation; their ability TO stir
up public sentiment We are a reading people,
and publ opinion is largely created by the
daily newspapers. If they range themselves
against any evil and commence to lombard il, il
is doomed Every squib is bullet, every edi-
torial d broadside. If during the past few weeks
the secular press has not done genuine religious
work, then don't know what religion is"

Causes Small Police Sensation.
The guerrilla warfare which has been in
progress in the police department here for
some sine past, was famed into a fresh fame
yesterday by the appearance of two colored
prisoners in the police court These were
Sol. Green and Ernest Snalwood, celored
men, who nave actively assisted SerSt. Daley
in roofing out speak easies' and detecting
other violators OF the liquor laws in South
Washington.
The warrant for their arrest as vagrants
was sworn out by Headquarters Detective
Lacey, who acted under orders from his su-
perior officers, it is said The prisoners were
arraigned before Judge Kimball, and pleaded
not guilty, the case being continued until to-
day to allow the prosecution TO bring a batch
OF workhouse prisoners into court TO testify
against Green and Smallwood
The main allegation against the accused is
that they practiced species OF biackmai in
the Fourth precinct by threatening certain
parties with arrest unless they gave them
money. Friends OF Sergeant Daley declare
that the arrest of Green and SmallWood is but
a continuation Of the fight that has been
waged against him through the direct influ-
ence OF violators OF the liquor laws who have
been prosecuted to the bitter end by the
fighting sergeant" and his raiders.

Complai- About Gas.

EDITOR TIMES: Permit me to call attention
to grievance. The present condition of the
gas furnished on Capitol Hill needs inspec-
ton and pr lpt attention. It cannot be used
for reading and at times is an utter failure
for cooking poses. Some of the churches
were SO badly lighted Sunday night last that
it was difficult to read from the books of
church services, while in one instance part
OF the services had to be abandoned A bet
ter condition will prevail when Congress con-
venes. but we ought not be made to suffer un-
til that potent influence is felt. LIMP.
