IT SuouLn RE HERE,

No matter what excuse may be offered
BY genial gentlerren connected with the
Marine Band, ii goes without saying that
such an organization should represent the
District at hore on Labor Day
While all the gcntiemen of the Marine
Corps may not always be pleasing agents
for that body, which wields such power i,l
the politics Of the country, there Is a nun Der
quite sufficient to leayen the whole lurp
which would prefer to devote itself to
Washington on all important occasions
and particularly on that day when the syn
pathizcrs with the aims Of the wage workers
at the Capital City prefer to make their
presence felt upon their native son.
Bandwen are but workers like their fci-
lows of other crafts, and what may becalleti
the royal band of America should be heard
as frequently aud exclusively at Wash
ington rs Others are upon the Pincian Hill
st Rome or in the Thiergarten At Berlin.

THAT POLICY QUESTION.

tits very gratifying TO know that District
Attorney Birney will, without undue delay,
take hold Of the question whether a great
corporation like the Western Union Tele-
graph Company can do what no uthercorpo-
ration can do so well and that is 10 serve
the lottery or policy companies OF Louisville
by reporting their drawings to disreputabie
where the poor are bcd out Of hard won
earnings and no one except the dealers
has the ghost Of show to win.
That Mr. Birney will look at the ques-
ton in a liberal light there is little
or no doubt, but even posi-
tive decision ION his part will not
settle the matter legally, no difference
what its moral effect may be. The Western
Union Telegraph is in very comfortable
financial circumstances, even considering
the large dividends 1t is paying on enor-
nously watered stock. 1t is not conducted
either in the interests Of amusement or
morality 1t furnishes the electricity the
wires and the instruments, and the people
can furnish the conscience u they want any
conscience.
This lottery question, as described in The
Times, is one OF the most important that
has been brought before any tribunal in
recent years, and it should be forced
rapidly on until thorough test can be
made
Meantime the Rosslyn ranch and the
Western Union Telegraph Company will
continue business at the old stand in genial
partncrship. ~

great many delegates are already here,

A great many people think that this

is too ridiculous to notice.

Gossip Of the Day.

1t is seldom that an Industrious, over
worked and underpaid journalist in this
world receives his reward. He is expected,
in the usual run or calculations, to take his
chances of obtaining it in the life to come.
Bat there has been a pleasing, satisfac-
tory and encouraging break in the long
line of sombrencss and sameness. Charles
c. Randolph. OF the New York Times, has
been duly created and officially confirmed
Il chevalier of the Order of the Cross OF
Trinidad. The announcement came as a
burst of sunshine after q protracted rain
fan. II was written on a eheet of paper
bcnring the caption, "Chancellerie de la
,Principants de Trinidad, New York"
The Information was impaired to Mr..
Randolph that some time to-day Comtc de

conferred upon him, he stated that dur
ing the recent visit to this city OF Baron

The United States for the Island of Trini-
dad as against the ncroachments of Great
Britain, he had forwarded to his paper a
couple of articles. which had been coneil-
cred so enAnently fair and impartial by
his serene highness. that the brevet Of
chevalier was bestowed as . suitable re-
ward.

THE DENVER DISASTER.

The people o: every city of the country
may as well undcrsia nd now as later that
nearly all buildines having steam engines
in their cellars or sub-cellars are liable

fact that they are almost invariably con-
Quoted at Uight by unlearned boys.
Machinery has been brought to such a
state OF perfection that it is well-nigh
automatic, and one result of this progress
is that boys and women, and even young
girls, are told they can do the work OF per-
sons OF mature years a ud judgment, with
out the least suggestion of danger.
In the case of the Denver explosion, the
boy delegated todo duty which shonld Ina We

present at the proper time to do mischief
and absent at the lime when the fruits OF
his presence were ripe.
What Is true OF the "histOricar' hotel
in Denver is true OF many hotels and busi-
Ness houses where steam boilers are used,
aud no one need be surprised IL the Den

A Broken Heart

A Broken Heart
A little china figure
On little bracket sat,
His feet were always crossed:
He wore little hat,
And every morning. fair or fou
In shine or shadows dim,
A pretty little housemaid came
And softly busted him.
She took him up SD gently,
And with such a charming air.
His china soul was melted quite
He loved her to despair
All day he sat and thought of her
Until the twilight came,
And in his china dreams at night
He breathes her little name
One day, whilst being busted,
In his JOY he trembled so,
To feel her little fingers, that.
Alas, she let him go.
In vain she tried TO grab him back
Fate willed 1t that they should part
He fell against the fender edge
And broke his little heart.
She gathered up his fragments
And she told little lie,
Expounding to her mistress how
The cat had made him die
And on the following morning, when
The shutters back she thrust,
She spoke his little epitaph
There's one thing less TO DUST
