THE GAMRLER vIcToRY.

At no time since the gambler element took
possession of Alexandria county has there
been doubt as TO the result of the election.
Through the use of money and the assist
ance of influential officials, it was ex-
pected that the toughs would carry the
day and extend gambler rule for four years
longer They have done so, and unless
impeacbed the Iawless offioers-eIect viii
continue TO misruie. and be disgraceful
misfits in what should be honorable po.
sitions
But the election OF those gamhler-ser-
wants does not insure them peaceful pos
session OF their offices. There are higher
officials and more powerful authority in
Virginia than can be found in Alex
andria county, and before winter racing
begins across the river official heads win
fan into the basket OF justice. Alexandria
county may disgrace herself, but the
State OF Virginia viii never permit that
disgrace to continue, and the shame of
yesterdays election viii be wiped out by
Impeachment proceedings.

AVOID CONFIDENCE GAMES.

Almost every day The Times publishes
an account of some swindlipg operation
that has promised to give something for
nothing. Why these schemes should
thrive iu Washington can only be explained
by the fact that our territorial system of
laws fails to properly provide against
their existence. Fraudulent bond con-
cerus, questionable building and loan com
panies. sbaky insurance projects and other
schemes To pick the pockets of the unwary
arein active operation.
People should be guarded against the
games of confidence workers. There are
enough Legitimate enterprises of every
kind to supply all wants without patron
izing any of thesec echeating concerns. Repu-
table persons viii not identify themselves
with projects TO take money without giving
a reasonable equivalent, and when new
scheme is presented the first inquiry should
be concerning the men who represent it.
1t should also be remembered that no
project is genuine that offers dollar for
fifty cents Business cannot be SUCCESS
fully conducted on Giit-edge promises;
nor do swindlers get rich by philanthropy
Make purchases. take advice and transact
business with well-known citizens, and
there will be 40 danger of getting cheated.
1t is the only safe way to avoid confidence
games.

Do NOT DARE TO DISOBEY
Proprietors Of Division Houses Will
Surely Take Out the Call-boxes.
Major Moore's Order Is Law to Them
Though Managers of Companies
Feel Sore Over the Loss.

The action of the District authorities,
following The Times agitation in the mat
ter of averting further exposure Of the mes
senger boys to the demoralizing influences
found in the "Divisiou," caused no small
amount OF commobon when the facts be-
came known
S. P. House, general manager of the
Rapid Transit Company, called yesterday
to see the Commissioners with reference TO
the instructions issued for the removal of
call boxes from the immoral houses south
of Pennsylvania avenue, an account. OF
which appeared exclusively in The Times
Mr.. House desired to know if any orders
to that effect had been issued by the Com
missioners, and, il so, by what authority.
Col. Truesdell informed him that DO of
ncial orders to that effect had been pro
mulgated, but referred him to Mayor
Moore, thu Commissioner not having yet
read The Times story.
There are over 100 call boxes located
in the disreputable quarter, and in a
majority of instances the keepers OF the
resorts have ordered them removed. This
- hlAcSti9 q iOSS W Nllc hdDlU
Company, and this phase OF the question
was presented by Mr.. House
The Information obtained yesterday was
that while the Commissioners have taken
no formal action, Major Moore has ample
authority to suggest the removal OF the
boxes, and that he did So precisely as
stated by The Times, While the Dis
trict Commissioners may not have the legal
right TO enforce an order their power is
ample TO make such suggestions as will
conduce to the good of the community,
and there is but little doubt that the notice
given by the police will meet with ready
compliance.
1t was question yesterday what Mr.
House expects to do in case the boxes
are taken out of those places, and no
answer has been made. The situation, it
was alleged, is full OF discomfort to those
who in any manner resist the execution
of the proposition, and nobody was heard
who can explain in what way the OBJ
jectors can stem the tide.

POLITICAL PROG RESS IN GER.
MANY.

The recent defeat of the anti-revolu-
tionary law in the German Reichstag and
the disinclination on the part of the gov
eminent 10 reintroduce it in the same
stringent Terms, is a sign of the times,
the importance and significance of which
cannot be overestimatcd II furnishes
additional and powerful evidence of the
great strides forward taken by the liberal
spirit in the politics OF the empire and
gives promise that in the rot distant future
Germany's government viii be as demo-
cratic as that OF England.
The antirevolutIonary bll was ostensI-
bly, aimed at the socialists, but it carried
the possibility OF hindering, if not sup
pressing, any movement having for its
object the engagements of the peoples
will in the affairs of state This fact was
speedily recognized by the leaders OF
liberal thought both in and out Of the
Reichstag, and they worked against the
measure with constantly increasing force
until at last the government found itself
reduced TO the necessity of trying to at
tract elements otherwise entirely for
eign to its sympathies
The party OF the center, or clericals, as
they are called, was asked for its price
Of support. When it was named the gov
ernment did not dare make the bargain.

BEST METHOD OF RELIEF.
Chairman Gardeners Committee VIII

Chairman Gardeners Committee VIII
Discuss Them at Once.
The final form in which the charities
of the District will be dispensed this sea-
son Will probably depend much on the
report of a subcommittee of the Central
Relief Committee recently appointed by
Judge Cole. The Commissioners of the
District asked the Central Relief Com
mitete whether it would undertake to
make a suggestion as to the formation of
a permanent relief organization. A de-
cided impulse was given to this question
by the suggestion that the charities be
under the control of board to be ap-
pointed by Congress.
Judge Cole appointed Mr.. Lawrence
Gardner, chairman; DR.. l. W. Ritchie
and Mr.. John F. Cook asthe sub &C ommittee
Mr.. Gardner. who hasbeen absent for some
days from the city, has returned, and found
here the letter of appointment. He said
last night that he would call the committee
together some day this week 1t was a
large and complex subject this committee
had been asked to handle and il involved
the digestion of great mass of material
1t would therefore be some time, he
said. before the committee would be able
TO report to the central committee
Considering the implied reference of the
whole question to the central relief COM
mittee by the Commissioners, should that
committee adopt the suggestions of its
subcommittee, the latter will practically
rhave solved the great problem of the best
method of relief

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY

The Democratic editors OF New York evil
dently have sense enough to absorb a hint
without the necessity of a surgical opera
tion. They foresee party defeat nnless more
harmony prevails, and are now in session
tooutline policy for thecrystallization and
unifying OF party sentiment. Their task
is not to be envied, for if ever a party
needed a savior it is the one connected with
which there are so many Democratic heads
and so many alleged Democratic ideas.
In the West and South, free silver, free
trade and the income tax are Democratic
idols, with a sprinkling of worshipers
al the golden shrine. IN the East, con-
trary sentiment divides the party, and how
the Democrats OF the different sections can
be made TO walk the same plank of party
platform is the conundrum that puzzles
party leaders. Three years Of power, dis
appointments and business depression have
made sad havoc with Democratic harmony,
and nothing short Of a miracle viii save
the party from defeat.
The best possible combination for a
Presidential ticket for the coming ma
tiOnal election would be Stevenson and
Hill Both are ideal Democrats, so far as
loyalty to party is concerned, and such a
ticket would come nearer uniting the
Democratic vote than any other nomina-
tion. Perhaps Senator Hill would not care
TO play second fiddle TO Vice President
Stevenson, but he could come nearer be-
ing elected in that capacity than If he
accepted first place. Since his celebrated
income tax fight the White House throne
has been placed beyond the reach OF the
able and distinguished Senator, and 1t
Is now second place or none.

CARLISLE AND PROSPERITY.

Those who read Secretary Carlisle's
Memphis speech without prejudice will be
impressed with the force of his argument
Money under existing conditions is not a
thing TO be minted regardless Of its COM
mercial value asa commodity. Itmust have
g market price as bullion before it can
be Used in international trade, and it must
also be coined from the metal that is most
Convenient aud valuable, or it could neither
be used for foreign shipments or retained
in circulation for domestic use.
Another phase of the monetary question
needs more elucidation. It is not the
volume of money issued that creates pros
perity Money is a medium with which
20 facilitate exchanges, and being a
thing OF value it will not remain in circu-
lation except when demand is created
Therefore, it is prosperity that makes
money plentiful, and not plentiful money
that creates prosperity. For that reason
this country would prosper in spite
OF unwise tariff laws if financial
cranks would stop meddling with our
monetary system.
Commercial and Industrial investments
are what cause good times. They give
employment, provide markets and in
spire confidence in the future But cap
1tal is cowardly and win not invest when
there is danger or loss. and If there are
hard times and no demand for our abund-
ant resources it is because business men

1t was No Error of Judgment,

Editor Times: The editirial in this morn
ing's Issue of The Times, relative to the
Memphis drill contest is pacific and gen
erous, but, unfortunately, the expression,
''crror of Judgment used to explain
the cause of defeat, is not just to the Cap
tain nor to the company. The plain and
simple truth of the matter is, that by acci-
dent the Captain turned two pages of the
programme at once, aud by so doing neces-
sarly omitted many movements, which
were marked zero. One can readily un-
derstaud how such an accident could hap
pen, especially when it is remembered that
the pages are turned with a gloyed hand.
The only reason for regret, after condoling
with our comrades is that the youthful and
gallant Morton Cadets failed to return
with the cup which was taken to Memphis.

1t seemed to him that he would lose his
reason. Putting his hands to his head, he
tottered like one who has received death
blow. A binding mist came before his eyes
and horrible ringing, sound filed his

at their chains and shrieking out In their
