TRAsfPS.

There has barely been an admonition OF
cold weather and yet the city is already
filling up with Wandering willies at
tracted 10y Washington's widespread d reputa-
ton for charity. They are of all ges, color
and conditions, and their excuses for beg
ging are as variegated as is their ward
robe. They belong TO the class whom not
to assist with aims, but turn over TO the
police, is true charity and consideration
for the needs OF the worthy poor.
1t is altogether probable that as the cold
season advances this contingent will la rgely
multiply and will poster, not the public lodg-
ing-houses or police stations-for of these
they fight shy-but householders or passers
in the street upon whom they hope to make
an impression with their fictions of woe
and misery. They are the kind that willseek
to frighten the lone housewife, nor hesi-
tate to force their way into the house if
they think there is no man or a Zig dog
about and help themselves to whatsoever
takes their fancy. Not only should the
fellows, but every citizen ought to help
according TO the best of his ability.
Householders or those who are accosted in
the street and importuned for assistance can
easily apply a test to ascertain whether
the applicant be a worthy subject for
charity. If the suppliant is willing to work
for what may be given him. it is gener
ally pretty safe to extend him the helping
hand: If not, he is proper subject for
the police cell and the workhonse.

NEGROES SHOULD AID CUBA
Hon. Simon Wolf Addresses the
Colored Y. M. G. A.
Race Freed from Oppression, He Says,
Should BE First To Lend II Hand
TO the Island.

Hon. Simon Wolf delivered an eloquent
address upon the Cuban question before a
large audience last night in the auditorium
OF the Culored Y NJ. c. A. building. Tue
meeting was held under the auspices of the
literary society Of the Y. NJ. c. A, and Mr..
&C Waring presided.
Mr.. Wolf said, that he did not ina gine for
a moment that he could add anything TO
what had already been said upon the
subject, and that he would think IL strange
If an audience OF cUlored men and women
were not in sympathy with emancipation
and liberty, and that TO him II was not
strange that colured audience should
cali upon member Of an ancient race to
address them upon the cause ur freedom for
the oppressed.
He said that there was common bond
Of sympathy between the Jew and the
negro, as they both had felt the oppression
OF tyranny.
He said that race. color, nor creed had
nothing 10 60 with the beautiful, the divine
and the immortal. He said that Cuba was
indeed God blessed, bat a man cursed
country, and referred 10 its natural beauty,
its fertile soil, ITS richness of resources, and
TO the lnhuman tribute that was being
annually eXorted from it by the Spanish
government. He told of the prosecutions
which the Cubans suffer, and said that from
the President To the humbiest citiz, should
recognize 1t as belligerent state and
extend to it sympathy.
He declared that the day would sUon
come when Cuba would be recognized as
republic, or would be added as one of the
brigntes stars in the Constitu tivn OF
American States. He said that the sym
pathy OF the American negroes was asked
in behalf Of Cuba, ana that the negro
should Join with his white brother in the
cause, that is, your cause, our Sause, and

AT TIE MERCY OF AN ENEMY
Gen. Miles Pictures Our Defence
less Sea Coast.
He Urges Eoftifications and sug-
gests an lndrease Of the Stand
ing Army.

ENERGY
The report OF. Major General Miles, com
inandins the UnlteJ States army, was made
public last night.
Gen. Miles believes that the peaceab!e
| conditions now existing among the various
Indian tribes is largely attributable to the
presence OF troops ut suitable points, and
To the admirable conduct OF the expert
enced army officers who have been placed
in charge Of the principal agencies.
While it is economical and desirable
TO have the reserve forces OF the army
near the great centers of communication,
Gen. Miles urgently contends that these
points should be selected for their strategic
value and that the tendency towards con-
centration should not be carried TO tie
point Of depriying the Western settlements
OF proper protection.
Under the head of coast defense, General
Miles states that the condition OF these
defenses is such as TO require decided and
immediate action for their Improvement.
Whlie the railroads might transport
million brave men to the coast, they
would be useless without appliances TO
cope with the modern engines of war, and
with all our intelligence, pride, inventive
genius, and enterprise, we are as far
behind iii the modern appliances OF war
as China or Japan.
The entire gulf coast and all the great
cities OF the Atlantic Coast nOrthward to
Philadelphia, are entirely without mod
crn guns With one exception, the cities
north Of New York are In a similar condi-
tioD 10 those south OF it.
He shows that torpedo plants are useless
without protective batteries and that the
water in our principal harbors is so deep
that light draft war vessels might pass
over torpedo mines without danger. He
asserts that the recent tnaneuYers in Eng
land have shown that even the powerful
British navy is una ble to defend the British
coast against a foreign fleet. Therefore,
he argues that the maiu Reliance must be
upon coast batteries.
He approves the use of bicycles and motor
wagons in the Army and recommends that
a force of twelve companies be equipped
with these devices. Gen. Miles argues for
an increase in the strength OF the Army.
saying that there is no reason why IL should
become crystalized aud kept at one strength
as 1t has been for years.
1t should increase with the growth of the

HONESTY is APPRECIATED.

The Times thanks the citizens of North
east Washington for the praise they be-
slowed On its work at their meeting last
night. 1t is, indeed, dangerous to publish
an honest newspaper, but such a course
becomes easy when it is recognized and
approved by civic organization of the
strength and practical vitality of the North
east Washington Citizens Association.
Such words as were bestowed on The
Times last night puts it under the necessity
of redoubling its endeavors for the good of
the people Of Washington.

HUMILIATING LAW.

Energetic action ought 10 be taken Just
as soon as Congress meets to secure the
appropriation of sufficient money to have
the disinfecting of bedding, clothing and
al other articles Of person afflicted with
a contagious disease performed free of
charge, in accordance with DR.. Wood
wards very proper suggestion There
should be no charges for such work when
it is done in an este biishinent built with
public funds and supported out of the
public treasury.
The conditions upon which person may
have this disiufecting done without pay
ing for itare not only huiniliating but liable
To cause him or her TO stretch the truth
dangerously close to the breaking point.
He must certify that lie has not exceeding
one hundred dollars worth of property.
Few persons, not absolutely in the very
depths of poverty, would care to put them
selves thus on record, while others, with
slightly elastic consciences, might certify
as required, even though their possessions
were to exceed the specified amount.
There is another class, however, whom
the present requirement affects most un-
pleasantly. There are many people who
may be worth more than hundred dollars,
but upon whom the expense of doctor and
druggist aud The thousand and one neces-
saries of the sick room falls so heav vily that
by the time the patient has recovered their
funds are a so low an ebb as 10 ma ke the
cost of disiufection a veritabe hardship.
These are tue oues that suffer most from the
law as it stands.
All disinfecting ought to be done gratis
by the health department.

REMOVE THE PLAGUE SPOT

The time is at hand when a vigorous
effort should be made TO remove the dis
grace known as The Division. There should
BE- no false modesty in discussing this
question, nor should sentimental moralists
be permitted TO indulge IN distasteful de-
tails. Ii is plain, matter-offact sub
ject, that has both business and 4 moral
side, and should thus be treated.
The erection of the new post-office on
the northern border of this plague spot
necesSitates change. Decent people will
not care to enter the Division to get their
mail, nor should our authorities compel
them to do go. Property owners on Penn
sylvania avenue are complaining because
business houses are moving further north,
where there are fewer dives and gin-mills,
and il is time something was being done
20 make that part of the city more re-
spectacle.
fhe moral aspect OF the question of
blotting out the Division is familiar to
ali. That locality is a refuge for criminals
and breeding place for vice. IL embraces
eight y-three disorderly houses, which sell
liquor without license at all hours Of day
and night, and its 700 or more lcwd
women flaunt their calling within speak
ing distance of our busiest and most
Travelled thoroughfare. 1t practically cuts
Off from the use of the great ma jority OF
the public the largest and most desirable
park because people will not cross the
Division TO enjoy its beauties, and in no
other city but Washington would such a
place be allowed 10 exist.
