FOR TIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

II
The announcement made by The Times
that ii would publish mammoth souvenir
edition in the interests of tie public schools
of the District has attracted wide atten-
tion, not only in Washington, but among
leading educators all over the country.
From Mr. Samuel T. Black, State superin-
.tendent of public instruction OF California,
very warm letter of commendation has
been received, in which that gentleman
says:
The enterprise of the press in general
aud of The Washington Times in particular,
is TO be commended for the interest shown
in popular education. May the pace you
have set be taken up by all the leading
dailies of the country.
The future prosperity of the republic
is largely in the hands of the public schools
its immediate prosperity is just as largely
in the hands of the newspapers. Two
such potent factors should go hand in hand.
Your souvenir edition cannot but be
productive of good result not only in the
District of Columbia, but in the United
States generally"
This is but a sample of the many letters
of a similar character The Times has
received, and which it viii publish in the
souvenir edition. Scores of enthusiastic
letters from our own school officials and
teachers have already appeared.
The Times is grateful for all this. 1t
is glad 10 know that It's effort TO be a
newspaper for the real good of the com
munity and not for the mere advancement
Of any special set of selfish and personal
ends is meeting with sincere appreciation.
II viii continue to deserve Wen of the
people at large.

The proposition to establish loan
bureau where poor people can borrow
money on chattels at reasonable rate of
interest is attracting considerable attention.
Other cities have such institutions, and
in France the government conducts pawn
shops for the benefit of the INDECENT.
philanthropic minded men of Washington
should not organize a company for this
same purpose. There would be no risk
and the benefits would be many At
present those in need who can not furnish
real estate or good collateral security are
compelled to patronize the Shy a Ss. For
their sake and for the good maize of our
city let loan bureau be established.

GIVE Us CHEAPER PRICES.

Now that the Columbia Standard Tele-
phone Company has organized and is pre-
pairing to furnish the District with cheaper
telephone service and relieve US Of the
burdensone prices ofonemonopolyan AM effort
should be made to either reduce the cost OF
gas and electric lighting by legislation, or
compel the present moDopoIies to submit
10 competition.
Prof Frank Parsons has lately investi-
gated the cost Of electric lighting in the
various cities, and after carefully looking
into the expense or running an electTicplant
has decided that Washington ought to be
supplied with arc lights Of 1000 candle
power ct Ss5 each per month instead
OF eIs2, the price now charged the city.
A reduction Of at least 80 per cent. should
also be made In the cost OF gas aud If con-
sumers viii unite IN petitioning Congress
both these prices can be materially
lessened. -, s=s---

UNFORTUNATES IN NEED OF PRO-
LECTION.

Something should be done to provide for
the unfortunate families of criminals
convicted and sent to prison. Almost
without exception they ale poor helpelss,
homeless women and children, unable to
take care Of themselves and made victims
OF misfortune through no fault Of their own.
The number of people thusleft iu destitute
circumstances is almost astonishing, and
the person or persons who can suggest
practical method of giving them relief
win indeed be benefactor.
1t is truly claimed that seven-tenths of
the crime that burdens communities results
from the use of liquor, and it is also an
unfortunate fact that most Of the Woes
that afflict humanity are brought about
in the same Iamentable manner For
these reasons too much praise cannot be
given TO people who honestly endeavor
to strengthen the cause OF temperance. 1t
is a work that should enlist the efforts
of all well-meaning persons, and bring
about more general desire for a discon-
tinuance ns the liquor habit.
No matter what may be said in its favor,
those who have been addicted to the use OF
liquor know that it inflames the passions,
uuseats reason, and destroys the possibility
| OF self-control, and therefore is the principal
cause of human trouble. 1t Will ruin the
| possibilities OF the most brilliant mind and
/ bring distress ard despair to the happiest
| and brightest OF home circles. There is
nothing, absolutely nothing, to compensate
| for the danger of its use, and the fact
that every household has in come way felt
| the curse of its existence should serve as
! a warning 10 those not yet under its in
! flueuce.
The poor suffering families of GRIM
inaIs now appealing for aid should also
| point danger signal to moderate drinkers.
| Atsome time ia the past their future seemed
| hopeful and bright, and had it not been
! for the demon Of drink most of them would
yet be enjoying happiness. AS it now is
they must become for a time at least public
wards, and it remains to be seen how this
charity can best be bestowed. Tomorrow
The Times will give detailed Information
on this ubject.

that no matter how strong the hold a
monopoly may have on q city it can be
broken if public sentiment demands the
change Such abuses exist by sufferance.
They thrive in Washington because the
press has heretofore been subsidized and
the public has had no medium through
which TO reach Congress and its committees.
In The Times this lack has been sup
piled This paper has no master, except
the public, and its independence can
neither be purchased nor influenced. For
months ii has been urging readers 10

BELT LINE coMPANrs oFFEKsE.

The District Commissioners having been
advised that they have no authority TO pro-
ceed against the Belt Line railroad company
for the violation Of charter involved in their
changing their system Of transportation,
have referred the whole SUBJ bject to Attorney
General olney for such action as he may
deem proper TO take.
If Assistant District Attorney Duvall
is correct in his conclusions, the Belt Line
company has been guilty Of what appears
TO be an unwarrantable breach Of the con-
ditions of its charter. 1t was chartered
10 operate one continuous line and to trans
port passengers without change Of cars, or
transfers. Instead OF this, under The new
arrangement, passengers are subjected to
the annoyance of two or three transfers.
MI DuvaIl, in his opinion TO the Commits
siOners, holds that the company can be
dealt with in one Of two ways: Either by
the United States, from whom it received
the charter, the terms OF which il has
violated, or by some passenger, who could
sue for breach OF contract As the latter
contingency is altogether improbable-no
the trouble and expense OF such litigation
it remains for the United States, through
the law department of the government,
10 proceed against the offending cor
poration.
OF course, when Congress meets and the
matter still remains in its present state,
efforts could, and probably would, be made
TO induce that body to revoke the charter.
Attorney Genera olney, however, should
not permit the subject to rest until then.
he ought TO examine into it, and, if he
finds, as Mr.. Duvall says, that the company
is doing what, under its charter, it has
10 right to do, proceed promptly and vigor-
ously in the courts against the company.
The question is whether he Will do so or
not

GOV. o'FERRALLs EXCUSE.

According to an interview with Gov.
O'FeTrall the only hope for the extermina-
ton OF Jackson City and the outlaw track
rests with Attorney General Olney and the
Supreme Court Gov o'Ferrall claims to
have no power TO revoke the charter OF the
track, or 10 remove the Alexandria county
officials for refusing to enforce the law, and
unless an effort is made 10 Immediately
decide the question of jurisdiction the

is owned, body and soul, by the lawless
element The coming election viii be
controlled by the thugs and thieves of
officers placed in authority who are blind
10 every sense OF duty and corrupt in the
fullest meaning OF the term.
This is bitter truth to law abiding people.
The knowledge that justice is powerless
In a county famous as the home of the
Father of His Country is humniating and
disgraceful. The fact that a beautiful
suburb of our National Capital has become
a resort for gamblers and outlaws is too
shameful TO contemplate.
For the honor of Virginia and the good
name of their county, now let those inter
ested in law and order across the river
bestir themselves and rescue the admin
istration OF justice from the hands of cor
rupt officials.

THE GREAT NATIONAL ISSUE.

Many of the arguments of free silver
advocates are as wild as the talk of
Missionaries They claim that prices would
advance and We would have bimetallic
standard, but they seem ignorant that the
standard cannot be changed and that values
would be regulated, as now, by a gold
standard. Under their system we would
have a silver basis and deprecated cur
rency, and prices would advance through
initiation and not from an increase of busi-
ness or greater prosperity.
If prices could advance uniformly and at
one and the same time, free silver would
not be SO dangerous, but there are lines of
industry where prices could not advance
al all, and in others time would be required
to regulate them. Therefore, from this
standpoint alone free silver would be
disastrous.
Nor would a silver dollar have the same
purchasing power under a silver basis
OF silver is equivalent in purchasing power
TO a gold dollar. Under a silver basis the
fiat of At cents would be lost.
IL prices were regulated entirely in the
United States, free silver, or even fiat
money, would serve as medium TO ex-
change commodities without danger OF
depreciation, but the prices OF most of our
staple products and all imports are fixed
in foreign markets, and any money not
equal in commercial value to the standard
used there must from necessity initiate
prices here in proportion TO its deprecated
value.
The assertion that silver would advance
to a parity with gold cannot prove true
unless the demand increases sufficiently
10 warrant the advance Our mints, at full
capacity, could only coin about $40 ,000,-
900 of silver annually, there would be no
increased foreign demand, and consequent
ly the price OF silver would not materially
advance, especially as il is fixed in London
by gold standard.
Nothing could be gained by silver basis
even when its most favored results are
considered. Prices would advance by in
flation, but gold would go TO a premium,
and our money would have less purchasing
power. No nation could successfully with
stand the revolution in prices, and it is an
experiment that could not faii to bring dis
aster.
