ITS STRENGTH ACKNOWLEDGE ED.
Attempts of Contemporaries to Stem
The Times Tide of Success.

Attempts of Contemporaries to stem
The Times Tide of Success.
The initial issue OF The Time about
twenty months ago created no more than
passing notice from its contemporaries. who
ack owledged a new journalistic youth
aud Immediately set forth to enlarge tue
grave where are buried so many unfortunate
local newspaper enterprises of former
years.
But these contemporaries have seen the
error OF their earlier Judgment and have
substituted methods of warfare as vigorous
as their feeble and fossiliZed organisms
eau generate.
Nc more conclusive evidence OF the recog-
pition by these new spapers of the strength
OF The Times can be offered tEan the
fact that certain prominent advertisers
hare been able to contract for space in
these more or less valuShlc mediums for
about oue-hllf former rates, on condi-
ton that The Times be excluded from their
patronage. How have the mighty fallen.
Notwithstanding these artful dodgers.
The TIMES continues to grow in popularity
aud in consequent steadily increasing
circula ton. 1t is true to the principles
which il first espoused, aud yet is, withal
the most accurate and complete morning
aud evening news record in Washington.

teudsd. for with the means at their DIS
posal they have performed all that It was
possible for them to accomplish. Their
report goes to show, however, that the
school might easily be advanced to a much
higher degree of usefulness.
At present the accommodations of the
school are SO cramped that it has not been
possible to receive any but colored girls,
and only very limited number of them.
But even with these it has been impossible
to separate the goats from the sheep. A
few girls are there who have committed no
offense, but owing to the lack of room
they have been compelled to associate
with the girls put there for punishment.
1t is readily understood that this enforced
association can have no good effect upon
the heretofore uncorrupted girls.
The Girls Reform School, however,
ought to be large enough to take in white
girls as well as colored, and to have
separate apartments for them. Provision
should also be made to keep the tyros in
crime segregated from the more vicious,
so that the work OF reform in both cases
may be carried on consistently and intel
ligently. President Endicott recommends
an additional appropriation of $50 900, by
means of which an addition OF ninety
cells could be made and the usefulness of
the institution largely increased.
There should be no difficulty In OBJ
tanning this increase from Congress, con-
sidering the good that will be accomplished
thereby. AT present not more than twenty
nine girls can be accommodated at the
school, and in consequence many have to
be sent to the Jail or workhouse who
would otherwise be placed in the REFORM
atory and subjected to influences that
may in time make them respectable and
useful members OF society.

LINE AND STAFF.

Congress will be confronted with the
imperative necessity of providing for n
considerable addition to the engineer corps
of the navy The new naval vessel is too
complicated an affair and puts too great
a strain upon the engineers to permit the
continuance of the limited number now on
the rolls. There have been several tragic
admonitions in this respect lately. A num-
Der of instances are on record. unfortu-
nately, of engineers being retired because
unfit for duty, from overwork, or others
sent to the hospitals, physical wrecks,
from overwork; yet others, who committed
suicide, because overwork had made them
insane. Chief Engineer Melville recon-
mends considerable incrca Sc and it ought
to be made.
In close relation to this subject is the
old and ever new story about the line and
staff and The injustice apparent in the
treatment of the former. The engineer,
though the most important officer Oh board
a ship, and though greater responsibility
rests upon him than upon any other Off
Ger, is excluded from promotion TO the
highest rank in the navy. One would
think that n mere statement of the fact
would set Congress smen thinking. 1t Is
undenocratic to the last degree, becau use
the theory OF our institutions is that every
man has an even chance, and it is difficult
to understand why an exception to this
generally conceded fair and just principle
should he made in the navy.
All that q staff officer knows about a
ship, the engineer must and does know.
He can take command OF the vessel il
need be, and guide it in action or in a
storm just as well as the captain or the ad-
miral, but neither of these officers would
be able TO so into the engine room and
handle the machinery or repair it, if it
were out OF order, and the engineer had
been killed or disabled. More scientific
knowledge is required of the line than OF
the staff; in every respect it is, if not
the more important of the two, at least
as important as its pampered associate.
No wonder our line officers are ready to
accept offers from private establishments
where their skill and talents are appreci-
eted.

NOT TO BE sSEEzED AT.

One of the subjects of X aiser William had
very serious time of it not so very long
ago because he coughed, or said he would
cough, at the emperor. He was arrested
aud punished. There was consider a BILE
amusement on this side of tue duck pond
at this definition of offended majesty, but
now comes our own Judge Kimbail and
declares that sneezing in public may con-
stitute a public offeuse, especially if two
or more persons sneeze in concert
There is a story curreut that once upon
4 time in the ancient town of Boston, alias
the Hub, stranger walking about the
streets spit upon the pavement. He was
the peace, taken before a magistrate and
fined So so. Handing the mag is,rate So,
the stranger said: "K eep the change,
Your Honor; may want to laugh after
awhile"
This sneezing business is no laughing
matter. Judge Kfnball, of course, is n
sensible and an amiable gentleman, and
he would not stigmatize that irritation Of
the mucous membra ne of the human
proboscis which results in sneeze a s a
disorderly or riotous demonstration. His
Honor holds that sneeze, per sc, is emf
nenuy respectable, but may, by the ex-
piosive tendencies of the sneezer, or by a
combination or conspiracy on his part
with other equally explosive sueezers,
deteriorate into disorderly and riotous con-
duct. When it attains either of these stages
then. he holds the nninion of the law ma y
step in, arrest the sneezer and cause him
to enrich the municipal treasury.
Our citizens have fair warning. If any
one be in the street and should feel an in
clination to sneeze, let him be sure that
the sneeze TO be sneezed is entirely proper
and orderly; contrarywise he may have TO
reckon with Judge Kimball.

NEW GOLD CRAZE.

Colorado is no longer merely silver
State. In fact, it may be questioned, IL
all recent reports prove true, whether or
not it will make such big ado about the
white metal a few years hence. For gold
has baeu discovered in the Centennial State.
and it is said, in enormous quantities, and
prospectors and miners and speCulators are
rushing thither as they rushed to California
in 10. 1t may be that tue workings"
may disappoint present anticipations, or
THEY may even exceed them, but for the
uonce the fever is on.
AS might have been expected, there is
a very rage of speculation in mining stocks.
Millions OF shares change hands i'll n day.
ard prices range from next TO nothing to
quite respectable figures. Over a million
OF shares were bought aud sold in Denver
one day last week, more than three millions
in Colorado Springs, and even the small
population OF Cripple Greek had over 175,-
600 shares to lis credit. Instead of posters
aud hand bills the Job offices Of Colorado
print gold mine stock certificates now, and
they are kept going day and night.
or course, the craze Will reach the East.
Mining stocks Will be put on the market
here. Plausible gentlemen will e!oquen,ly
seek to convince an eager and at times
CulIibe public that there's millions in
it," and no doubt many a hard-earned dol
lar viii be invested liz srocks, never to he
seen or heard from again. Twas ever thus
and ever viii be. II people would Just
keep their wits about thcm long enough to
remember that there is . very wide differ
euce between gold stocks and the yellow
metal, they would probably take hard
grip on their cash and bid the plausible
gentlemen with their oily tongues to so
hence. They would be sure before they
went ahead. If they do 80 they will not
be sorry afterwards.
