LnWA Needed by Work inEmen.

The local labor leaders have laid out a
compI ehersive program Of work in behalf
of legislation to be secured at this session
OF Congress. and nearly all Of their projects
seem to deserve the hearty cooperation of
the other citizens of the District The
act making employers liable for the ac-
cidental injury or death of those in their
employ is worthy of earnest consideration.
There are limitations. of course. that must
in the interests of equity be applied to such
a statute, and these are wisely recognized
by the workingmen themselves. There is
row no law in force in the District which
secures the wages of men hired by insol-
vent firms, end this singular defect in the
statutes ought surely to be remedied under
proper conditions. Some states have even
gene SO far as to make the laborer pre-
ferIe ed creditor in such cases. The men who
depend upon small wages from week to
week 81 orid receive the benefit of every
protection that the law can Justly throw
around them.

The facts and figures published in last
evenings Star supplementing Major Moore's
annual report, showing the need of in
creased appropriations for the police force
ought to be taken into serious considera-
ton by Congress. The force is not of sufIt-
cient size to permit a complete patrol of
every section. There are so many men
drawn from the already small force for
special duty that when the shrinkage from
natural and inevitable causes. such as sick
less and accident. are taken into considera-
ton there Is but a comparative handful of
Officers left 20 cover an enormous area. No
other city in the country places such
heavy responsibility upon each policeman
The duty is onerous and the remunera ton
is small The pension fund is kept at such
a low stage by the failure of Congress to
provide for it adequately that the active list
of the force contains men who should in
Justice be retired. but who are prevented
from doing so by the lack of means to sus-
tain themselves. They fill places that
younger and stronger men might occupy to
the advantage and greater safety of the
citizens. and thus the efficiency of the force
high in comparison with the task SETS
reduced.

1t Is fortunate that the Episcopalians of
the Washington diocese were able to elect
a bishop at their first convention. so that
the new organization will start out prompt
iy with full powers and with a competent
equipment. DIR. Satterlee's reputation as
rector of Calvary Church in New York and
as a writer. thinker and organizer is such
as to vlndicate the wisdom of his election to
head the Washington diocese. The local
differences between candidates We're thus
happily compromised and the first bishop
of Washington with united local support
Will undoubtedly be one of the strong lead
ers Of the church in America. This diocese
Is Of peculiar Importance and prominence
and there are elements of recent growth

try. The location here of the Episcopal
cathedral foundation, with its vast POSSIBLE
sites for expansion on educational lines, has
contributed to give our churches, formerly

some way pre-eminence OF the capitals
bishop among his associates of the Amer
lean church. This idea has been advanced
in. different forms at various times, showing
that Washington is regarded as the most
important city in the country for such pur-
poses. and with the establishment and Or
Sanization of separate diocese under such
excellent auspices the prospect is good for

The citizens of Philadelphia who are
now protesting against the actions of the
street railway trust that has them in its
power have the doubtful satisfaction Of
realizing that their own votes placed in
office the men who made the present emer-
gency possible. a reckless use of the SUI
frage has brought about the necessity for
a general undoing of the careless work
already done. and this may perhaps teach
the citizens a valuable lesson. 1t is dam
gerOus to cast ballot for any candidate
for even the smallest office simply on ac-
count of his party affiliations. 1t is unsafe
to be guided blindly in the exercise of
The voting franchise by any boss, who
names candidates to suit his own ends and
uses them after election as he sees fit. AS
long as the municipal, authorities are
chosen in our great cities by universal
suffrage in elections conducted under the
auspices and with the methods of partisan
politics there is great need for more ac-
tivity in election matters on the part of
the business men. the citizens of high char
acter and integrity who often neglect such
privileges on ordinary occasions and only
come to the front when grave sandals
have been unearthed and there is pressing
need for reform. An ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure. A ballot cast
today for an honest. untrammelled, nom
partisan candidate may save the necessity
of a thousand ballots cast for such man
a year hence. Tardy reform is better than
none at all. but the best sort is the usual,
everyday. habitual kind of reform which
is merely honest voting from year to year
by men WHO are not welded to parties and
who have the courage to keep on the right
side.

DunrQXen'a Defence.

Lord Dunraven Is coming back to Amer
ica Ii Is announced to continue his inquiry
into the facts connected with the draught
of the Defender during the first of the recent
International yacht races. There should be
no error made in the matter of his Grand
He is not coming here to prosecute any
body. but to defend himself. On him is
The burden of proving certain serious
charges that, If true. would give American
yachtsmen a bad name in every civilized
land. But until he does prove them, in
every particular. and to the satisfaction Of
both Ensl5hmen and Americans, he will
stand accused of thoroughly unsports-
manlike and unmanly conduct. In this
way 1t is he who is today on trial and
1t Is well that he has concluded to face the
music and try to bring the case to a positive
issue. If our yachtsmen have been guilty
of such frauds as Dunraven alleges it is
proper that we should know the fact beyond
doubt; no condemna ton of their trickery
will be louder or more emphatic than that
which will be uttered here, in such an event
but If Dunraven is a peevish, suspicious
slanderer whose charges have no foundation
outside of his imagination or his pique, we
have an equal interest in knowing that sact.
so that he may stand condemned both at
home and abroad, and be forever barred
from the sports Of gentlemen. So whatever
the outcome Of his efforts, Dunrav en's visit
to America al this time should be heartily
welcomed although the personal reception
rendered to him may lack somewhat in
warmth and heartiness.

prtmacy idea.

primacy idea.
1t Is related that at gathering in London
some years ago classification of the Amer
lean dioceses was attempted by the English
clergy with reference to their Importance.
The bishop Of New York was named first,
owing to the great commercial rank of that
city. justly regarded as the American me-
tIopolis Of wealth and population. To the
surprise Of all the second place was given to
the bishop of Washington state. who shared
the wonderment of his colleagues. 1t finally
appeared that the worthy EHglishmen had
labored under the delusion that's the bishop
Of Washington presided over the diocese
that included the national city, and were
thus led into their error. This indicates the
relative Importance that foreigners place
upon this city in all such matters. Wash
ington will never wrest from New York the
title of the American comrherciaf 1netrop-
oils. but just politically it is the center
of the nation it is rapidly coming to occupy
the same position with regard to education
and religion

tunity. as the head of an organization which
includes some of the oldest parishes in the
country, and some to which attach histor-

Of brilliant promise. He will be heartily
Welcomed. and doubtless he will bring to
his new field of labors a fund of energy
which will find ample field for exercise in
the grand work to be accomplished by this
diocese. -
