POLICE ! POLICE I.

As soon as possible after the District
committee, which Mr.. Reed is expected to
announce today, has been organized, 1t
should apply itself to the consideration and
perfection of a bill providing for an In
crease of the police force. There is not
likely to be any difficulty in getting such
one through the House, if the expressions
of those members who have been inter-
viewed can be taken to furnish guarantee
of favorable action.
The continual increase of frobberies, thefts,
burglarics, highway assaults and other
crimes would Seem to be all the argument
needed to convince doubling Representa-
tfves of the urgency of the case. A very
brief arithmetical calculation will further
persuade them that SO small police force
as that now patrolling the District is insult
ficient for the proper protection of persons
and property in an area of seventy-three
square miles.
A little reflection upon the statement,
which they can verify by application to
police headquarters, that there are more
crooks in the District at the present time
than there are policemen, ought to carry
still further conviction as to the necessity
of the immediate increase of the force.
There are plenty of good and sufficient
reasons for prompt action in this matter,
and it is hardly possible that all of them
viii fail to have weight with the law
makers.

quently taken by some of his degenerate
children. 1t is probably no exasgeration
to assert that if all the public money act
ually wasted since the beginning Of the
gether, it would suffice to pay off a very
large share of the national debt.
The instance, published yesterday in The
Evening Times, Of one hundred thousand
dollars paid for investigating the causes
of boiler explosions, no report of which
investigation can be found on the govern
ment files, for the very simple reason
that none had even been printed, is a case
in point. The investigation related to a
matter of farreaching interest and import
ance, yet the scientific gentleman who was
engaged in it, did not think it worth his
while to take the trouble of having his
report put in type and Oh file for future
reference.
1t is impossible. of course, TO tell how
many such and similar cases have occurred,
where the government has failed to get
value received for its money. For all
the good that the people derived from the
expenditures the money might as well have
been put into a rat hole. In the boiler

American Citizens May Now Know
Just How and Where Thew Stand.
Every student of sociology, says the New
York Journal. from AnaXimines to Laura
Jean Libbey, has been forced to the concur
sion that no civilized society can exist for
any extended period without resolving It
self into classes. Bill Nye ascertafns this
to be true of the early Greeks; Prof. Hux-
ley bears the same testimony with regard
to the Esquimaux; Henry NJ. Stanley's re-
searches in Poland made him convert 10
the theory; Martin Luther corroborates the
fact in his History OF Long Island, and
Col. Tom Ochiltree found that the same CON
ditions xisted in Thibet.
The movement to grade the citizens of
the United States on the lines OF an heredi
tary aristocracy, having taken definite

Washington Musical Assembly

Editor Times: The Washington Musical
Assembly is once more united firmly, all
OF the desirable ones of its membership, who
in last February had strayed from it To
form another organization, have seen the
error of their ways and come back to the
fold, and the assembly will now be pre-
pared to furge ahead for the interest
and welfare of the musicians. Already it
has prepared a bill to fix the status and
pay of the United States Marine Band, and
to which 1t has the endorsement ur the
District Assembly, and General Assembly
OF the Knights of Labor, and the Federation
OF Trades, and which will be introduced
into Congress at the earliest moment.

managers or the teachers bazaar came in
for considerable unfavorable criticism for
getting Mr.. Faneiulli to order the Marine
Band to volunteer their services on the
opening night, to the loss of people more
in need OF the few dollars they. are fms
deprived of, than the teachers are of an

Editor Times: A wrong impression has

mass meeting in Anacostia Tuesday y evening
The meeting was called and held Tor the
purpose of protesting against all, not any
particular one. license applications for bar
rooms, in AnacoSta, and TO organize the
temperance people into lodge or Good
Teniplars, and not TO consider anything
pro or con concerning street car employees. as
the newspaper reports Seem TO convey.
In the remarks made in reg ard to Mr.. N.

ton, his position as president or the Ana
costa Railroad, AMI thereby connection with
the railway strike was not considered, only
his duty as citizen of the town to the
temperance people was discussed, with the

undesirabiiity OF large hotels with q bar

That marks the distant ocean.

Whether it sinks in sadness
Or leaps with sudden, Joyous thrill,
Fast pulsing in its gladness.

Beneath the suns bright glances.
The wavelets rear their snowy plumes.
Their joyful music pealing.

MANY NttlOnS have Ihem and Are

Chicago Chronicle.
Badges of matrimony were worn by all
other nations but tabooed by American
women. The Germans wear a little cap or
hood. OF which they are very proud, and
''donnipg the cap" is a feature of the we'd

In New Guinea the young woman lets her
hair hang about her shoulders, but when
she is married this is cut short.
Chinese matrons braid their hair like a
helmet. In Wadai the wives color their
lips by tattOoing them with the thorDs of
the acacia, then rubbing with iron filings.
In parts Of Africa the married women per-
foratc the outer edges of their ears and lips
and stick rows of grass stalks in them. and
among a certain Mongolian tribe the Man-

STREET CAR TRANSFERS.
Com missiOners Seeking Legislation TO
Con, R..1a o Mt Gun Iitf..s.


The CoD,nissi ouers yesterday sent a
draft of a bill to Senator Harris by which
Ciey seek TO reach violatious of charter
provisions similar to That OF Tue Metro
politau Railway Company In its failure
TO make traHsIer III arrangements Win Tue
street car which it crosses.
The letter states that many charters OF
corporations contain requirements which
do not carry with them any penalty Tor
their violation. The only available recourse
is an application TO the attorney general
TO enforce forfeiture of charter.
"As many of the violations are minor
matters, vacation of charter would be
iucommensurate to the offense, and tile
proceeding to effect IL unnecessarily cum
bersome. The application III a fine would
he easier"
The bill proposed provides that when any
corporation operating here under a charter
from Congress fails to comply with any re-
auirements of its charter the District OF
Columbia is empowered to recover III poHce
court for each failure penalty not ex-
ceeding 500. Provided, That when a
penalty is already fixed by law the amount
recovered under this act shall not exceed
that already named.
