No stronger argument for the abatement
Of the nuisance across the Potomac known
as Jackson City could be had than the
confession by young Manuel Almagro, the
clerk to Minister Zeballos, that he was
tempted to steal his employers money in
order to get means to crafty his craving
for faro and other gambling games at that
resort. He was a devoted habitue of the
vile nest at the Virginia end of the bridge,
where he found every convenience for los
ing his means and those of the minister,
together with his honor and reputation.
There are other cases of wrong doing that
are to be traced directly to this primo
cause. 1t Is menace to the safety Of the
city. 1t Is a stencil in the noStrils Of all
good citizens. The disinfecting power of
the law must be invoked to abate the evil,
else there will be a constant, insidious ter
rible temptation to the young men of the
city. The crime of Almagro is but one of
many that point to the faro table, the race
track. the pool-roCm, and other resorts of
gamblers as the greatest evil that the
younger generation has to face. Let the
nest be cleaned out before any more harm
has been done!

Col Elliot deserves the praise of his SUI
pertor officers and the grateful thanks of
the citizens Of Washington for his zeal and
promptness in starting the work of raising
the dam at Great Falls, although the date
of his retirement from active duty is close
at hand. The interests of the people of
the District in the matter of a water sup
ply have been carefully and adequately
promoted under the direction of this efficient
engineer. Col Elliot realizes that there is
no moro vital problem of civic existence
than that of furnishing sufficient supply
of pure water, and that the man in charge
is burdened with heavy responsibility.
Many men in his position might wait for
successor to take charge before inaugural
ing the new work. but he Knows the great
value of time in this particular instance,
for he realizes more fully perhaps than
anyone else the fact that the development
of the present scarcity of water in certain
localities into serious and widespread
water famine Is a speedy probability unless
something be done quickly to increase the
volume of water flowing into the aqueduct.

Rev. J. w. Waters Of the African Metho-
dist Conference now in session at Rich
mond is posing as a prophet and most
original one at that. He protested yester-
day against the conference holding spe-
cial service in memory of the late Fred
erick Douglass, giving as his reason the
belief that it would be establishing a dan
gerous precedent. Because Fred Douglass
was too Insignificant a parsonage? Not at
all. Rev. Waters was deeply impressed
with the greatness of the dead man and he
praised him highly; but he declared that
the race was quite capable of producing
many more such men in the near future
and hence to begin holding Douglass SER
vices would start tremendous task for
future conferences to perform. Rev. Wa
tiers intimated that some day the confer
ences would have no time to do anything
but hold memorial services for great men
of the negro race. Then he became mathe-
NAUTICAL and declared that the race would
probably soon be presenting the world with
Fred Douglasses in lots Of three or four
per annum. OF course, he went on,
these men will eventually die, and If the
name of Douglass were honored by special
services his successors must be so treated.
Hence his objection. Rev. Waters may
curb his fears. Fred Douglass will not be
duplicated for many year.

these times besides fighting or threatening.
Foreign prestige can be maintained in no
better way than by naval representation.
Warships must be had. A nation that is
not absolutely continental in all its policies
cannot afford to neglect to participate in
international events in style quite COM
mensurate with its size and the importance
OF Its relations to the rest Of the world.
There is probably little sentiment in this
country in favor of an exclusive policy.
The United States cannot adequately exist
upon its own market. The world is to be
fed and supplied, and from these shores
supplies for this demand will continue to
flow at an increasing rate until the United
States will eventually become the center of
International commerce. Its geographical
position gives it an advantage over all
other nations. Commercial supremacy,
while surely coming, will be fastened by a
more liberal policy Of display and repre-
sentation abroad. This does not mean ag-
gression; 1t means business.

The next edition of Senator Hills official
biography, as it appears periodically in the
Congressional Directory, may have to be
changed in an important particular The
unfeeling republicans of the New York leg
stature yesterday passed a bill changing
the name of the town of Havana to Mutton
Falls. Senator Cantor, a friend of Mr.
Hill, protested, saying that the town was
the birthplace of distinguished citizen
of the state. Senator Smelzer. the author
of the measure, replied that that was his
motive. The bill was passed. and so. If
Mr.. Hill be truthful. he will revise the
biography so as to read: David Bennett
Hill, of Albany, was born in Mutton Falls
(then Havana), Schuyler Chen Chemung)

You can tell that spring is coming, for the

And they talk Of buds and blossoms till
you'd think that 1t was June;
For the poet people tell us, is a most er-
ratio sprite-
Great wits allied to madness are exam
pies sadly trite;
Yet it isn't in the breezes that the public
puts its trust,
Nor in the golden sunshine, nor the crocus
much discussed.
But the mental mechanism Of the bard
that's now astir-
We know that spring is coming when the
wheels begin to whirr.
He will sing of sylvan rambles when the
wild nor'easters blow,
He will ripple rhymes on violets while
cleaning off the snow;
He will tell Of messy banks and brooklets
babbling all the day,
When the thaw has vainly tried to get the
slush well cleared away.
But the poet is a prophet, now, the same
as in the past;
When once he starts to talk of spring she's
sure to come ut last.
So get in trim for birds and bees; you
might as well concur.
We know that spring is coming, for the
wheels begin to whirr.
