TRIBUTE TO THE TIMES.

Our excellent ueghbors, the Post and
the Star, are iudulging in a merry little war,
aud The Times is an amused and interested
spectator, FOR the quarrel is all over the
merits Of an achievement that everyone
10 " ashington knows rebounds alto
Gether Ia the credit OF this paper.
The Post, acting up to the peculiar stand
ard of Journalism that ii has made its
own, believes that it is proper thing to
let those who would sully the fair fame OF
thecIty aud debauch its youth, have matters
all their own way, because forsooth peo-
PIE might think badly of us if we insisted
on proper enforcement OF the laws that
we were eager 10 have established for our
protection.
The Star, like The Times, is of the con-
trary opinion; but, unlike The Times, it
vassumewhat Ia te in demonstrating it with
vigor. This is the cause of the journalistic
battle.
Replying Ia the Post in its issue of yes
terday our evening contemporary en-
phaticaliy says the statement that it had
claimed, yociferously or otherwise that
Washington is q hotbed OF wickedness is
an unqualified falsehood." And it con-
tiuues:
Gamblers and other law-brea&iug and
injury-workiug gconstituentsofW OF Washington'S
comparatively small criminal element have
been peFsisteuly assailed by The Star,
as the mouthPiece of sound public senti-
ment, with the purpose andeffect ofreducing
this class of the population, and OF raising
thereby the city's present high moral
standard.
The esteemed Pest echoes the rogues
cry that to attack local wrong doing is to
advertise local wickednessand tha 1.-THE good
name OF the city is. better served by
ignoring or concealing any local rottenness
than by cleansing and curing it. In The
Stars opinion ii is in every community
those newspapers, that through natural
sympathy or under a more direct retainer
become the advocates and protectors oil the
criminal element. which 10 the extent Of
their capacity and influence make of their
city q hotbed of wickedness and tend TO
give it a deserved bad name"
All this would seem to be a most eloquent
tribute to the work accomplished by The
Times, which, as THE mOuthpiece of sound
public sentiment" has fought gamblers
and thugs aud wrong doers generally,
risking the aunOyances. of libel suits and
/ direct financial losses.

bered that England, during the late war,

FIRE ESCAPES.

The fire at the Owen House yesterday
Bgajn emphasizes the necessity OF strength
tning the hands OF the District Commits
sioners relating to the law regarding
fire escapes AS the case now stands,
they are powerless TO enforce il, and COM
pIance with the directions OF the in
spector of buildings, in this respect, de-
pends upon the volftion OF those TO whom
they are addressed. In the present in
stance there ought to have been cne or
two fire escapes leading into the alley
On the west side OF the hotel Their alb
sance came near causing serious conse-
uuonces.
1oo many buildings in Washington are
insufficiently equipped with these safe
guards OF human life, while others that
should have them lack them altogether
Unfortunately, a great many owners Of
high houses are not animated by philan-
thropic emotions 10 the extent of open
ing their hearts and their pocketbooks
II is for these that a stingent Law on
the subject Of fire escapes is necessary,
and il is to be hoped that Congress viii
see the necessity OF acting promptly upon
tire recommendations the Commissioners
undoubtedly VIII make on this point.
While dealing with this matter it may
be as well TO offer another suggestion. A
law ought TO be passed requiring every
hotelkeeper TO provide every room in
gi." house with u rope escape In nearly
every large city hotels are compelled 10
provide them They are simple, mex
p=nsiye ana effective and many a life
Fan be saved by them.
