Proceedings like those would hardly seem
to be consistent with the enlightened spirit
of our tunes, and, least of all, with that
love of fair play which is supposed to De
one of the dominant characteristics OF the
American character. Such trials as that of
Walsh, however, partake essentially of the
star chamber flavor and are repugnant Ia
every sense of fairness and justice. II is
impossible to understand what there is in
the trial of fireman or a policeman.
charged with improper conduct, to necessi-
tate secret trial any more than in the
case Of a military or naval officer who is
brought before a court-inartiai. The COM
munity is directly Interested in knowing in
what degree its officials have offended, and
to form some Judgment as to whether they
have been fairly tried and punished.
All civil courts of justice are open to the
public eye and ear: so are nearly all courts
martial. Trial boards are not such august
tribunals as to give their proceedings ex-
ceptional dignity. Open the doors!

time the women should take the matter in
hand. Several recent incidents in social
circles of Alexandria county, involving the
downfall OF persons of standing and ability
through their failure to beat the shady
games Of the race track or the faro and keno
dcns, have impelled the women OF that com
munity TO seriously engage in a battle which
has been 50 weakly waged by the men. If
they Will take up this fight valiantly, they
will easily be victorious. They should
besiege the lawmakers at Richmond, and
also demand of Congress sympathetic ac-

or other forms of gambling.
II is eminently question for the fireside,

colossal evil, is one eloquent with as

Can't Do Work Without Money.

The request OF the District Commission
ers for an appropriation of $4,000 10
enable them to carry out the provisions OF
Tire law, passed by the Fifty-third Con-
gress, relating to the cleaning OF cross
walks and sidewalks, furnishes another
proof OF the loose manner in which Con-
gress sometimes legisiaies- The law de-
Inan,Is that after u snowfall the municipal
authorities sha have all cross walks clea H.
ed of snow and ice, and have sand or
some other material strewD which will
make walking safe. II also insists that
fhc Commissioners shall perform these acts
in front of vacant lots or residences whose
owners are not accessible, and assess the
cost of the work against the property.
When the law passed through the various
stages of enactment it appeared never TO

COLUMNS OF NEWS:

Z vii be seen that The Times published
fiyy-four and a half columns of reading
mlter, exclusive of advertisements, the
Star printed thirty-three and the Post
-, its readers only thirty-two and one
qua ter. Also notice that in local
'rws The Times is far in the lead. In ad-
{ lion TO this evident superiority of The

tle benefit Of its news twice in tue day in
stead of only once, as does the Star and

Yesterday The Times issued sixteen pages

sioners might need funds with which 10
accomplish all these cleaning processes
As consequence no appropriation was
made, and the Commissioners are without
the means, in case OF q heavy snowfall, TO
do what they are commanded to have
done. Congress should lose no time IN
providing the necessary funds. o.
In the meantime. however, should the
emergency arise, let the people of Wash
ington do what is right and proper, even
for the sake OF suffering humanity. If
snow falls, each householder should prompt
iy clean off his sidewal and, il the house
next to his be vacant, that sidewalk also.
Let him then strew sand, sa wdust, ashes, or
cinders, and thus make every pedestrian

A COSTLY RESIDENCE DESTROYED
House and contents Of c. Henry at
Seattle in Ashes

House and contents OF c. Henry at
Seattle in Ashes.
Seattle, Wash, Sept. 1.-THE finest
residence in Seattle was totally destroy
ed by fire early this morning. It was
the home Of Horace c. Henry, the
wealthy Great Northern railroad con-
tractor. The fire broke out on the first
floor, probably from the wires in the
house. Mr.. Henry, his wife and four
children and a servant girl were in the
house. Mr.. Henry was awakened by
the noise of burglar alarm at the
head Of his bed. He reused the whole
family and all escaped from the build
ing, though Mrs. Henry had difficulty
In rescuing the servant girl, half suf-
located. The great mass of costly things
gathered by Mr.. Henry from all parts
of the world was burned with the house.
The loss on the house is 100000; insur-
ance $4,000
