THEY WILL BE PROTECTED.

1t is decidedly agreeable To say that the
superintendent of construction of the new
postoffice building has written the Con-
tractors a virtual demand that they shall
provide flooring upon the story beneath
that upon which the employees area at work
This is commenda Bile and humane move
ment and it may almost seem to be un-
generous to suggest that is Comes trifle
late. Charles Beach was the fifth workman
whose life was made a sacrifice to the
economy of the contractors though economy
is by far too mild Il term in that Connection
While his death may be said To have been
due to his careless judgment of Tia strength
of plank, it is nevertheless true that
If there had been 4 flooring upon the story
below his fall would probably have had DO
more serious result that a shock or q
severe bruisc.
The movement to place flooring beneath
the workmen Is directly due to the criti-
cisn,s of The Times Otherwise not even a
coroner's inquest would hav ebeen held and
the killing of Beach would have been passed
over, as was that of his unfortunate prede-
cessors, as one OF the episodes inseparable
from the construction of great building.

THOSE COMING TOWERS.

One of the greatest difficulties connected
with naval construction has just been sur
mounted by the naval board having such
matters in charge. The coming towers
of the battleships have hitherto been too
narrow for the comfortable entrance of
Officers, though ordinary gunrcrs and sea-
men have had no fault to find with them.
The going and coming of Officers of the
higher ranks have demonstrated that the
doors must be widened, and orders have
been given to the contractors which will
effect the change. The handsome and
gallant Officers of our Navy are to be con-
graduated. Their life Is full of toll and
danger, and they should not he subjected
to the risk OF being wedged in cunning
tower doors in addition to their other
sources of anxiety.
1t Is gratifying to know, however,
that their threatening ills do not lay
waste their flesh. Apparently they thrive
upon the prospect of war. The odor of
villainous saltpetrc fattens them. They
wax adipose upon anticipated carnage
They reve! in gore in the social club
while they are not required upon the ves-
sells deck War ships are constructed to
fit their physiqucs, and naval constructors
change plans of warships to harmonIze
with their portIiness

SUPERVISION OF EXCURSIONS.

The performances upon the City of Rich
nloDd excursion steamer Sunday, and the
refusal of the authorities of the Emergency
Hospital to take immediate charge of Mr..
Hough, who was prostrated by the intense
heat yesterday while he was on the home
trip OF the scamer Manchester, suggest
that the officers of pleasure vessels Oh the
Potomac should exercise a mole rigorous
supervision OF their passengers and crew
than they have shown heretofore.
The summer excursion steamer should
be n perennial Joy. 1t affords a diversion
from the ills of heat, and the frctting of
business cares, whose value cannot be
measured. 1t not only injuries them from
a business standpoint, but in every other
way, when few persons take control
OF the craft, or when one vino rs st ricken as
Mr.. Hough was, is left without pronipt at
tendance.
These excursion steamers are IberaIIv
patronized. Almost invariably they are
managed in a way that disarms criticism.
But the Officers I'm charge owe it to tf,cn,-
selves that their patrons shall be, on all oc-
casions, free from the possibility of an
poyance and insult, not to speak of those
who, upon brief voyage, are stricken with
suddsn illness which requires sudden
attention

Reckless of Life.

Editor Times: Mr.. w. w. Collins. con
ductor on the Lexington and Soldiers
Home railway, was forced tn stand on
the rear platform of his car in the boiling
sun yesterday. and as a result he fell
PROSTATE in the street. He was picked up
and conveyed to the Emergency Hospital,
and after night was taken TO his home.
He is reported to be slowly improving.
Is there no way to reach the Commits
sioners in this matter, All OF the other
railway companies in the District have
provided awnings to protect the men. This
company, the lexington and Soldiers Home.
Is particularly solicitous about the well
fare of its horses, and why can not the
managers be made to protect their men
servants?
1t is apparent that the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals COM
pels the company to look after its dumb
beasts, and the Commissioners should have
the authority to oblige observance Of
other humane laws Every citizen should
interest himself in behalf of the helpless
employees. l am sure The Times will give
this proposition its approval.

numerous fire tubes are passed. The in

valves for the ends of the several Sec

This plan is expected to make the boiler

PRIy.TR GILL,s CASE.

The highest authority of the United States
Army, the President of the United States,
owes it TO himself and the suggestions of
commonest decency that he should revise
the sentence by u court-mart rtial OF Private
Gill, who is given four years in the military
prison at Columbus, at hard labor.
Gill's offeDse was that of striking su-
perior officer. Judging from the most re-
liable accounts of the affair the officer,
a cad Of a lieutena mt, did not get half the
punishment he deserved for an unwarrant-
able interference. Gill attempted to escape
by swimming the James Creek canal"
and was saved from death in the perform
ance only by the badnIarksmanshipo OF oneor
two of his fello soldiers The assault
flight, got him his four years sentence.
or course, discipline must be maintained
in the Army, as in all bodies trained for
common purpose, but discipline resulting
from a kindly application of rule is vastly
different from that of the martinez who
merely for the purpose of showing his
au thority.
Private Gill appears to be the victim Of
a peculiarly offensive martinez. All &C.
counts show him to be an unusually &C.
ceptable enlisted man. His sentence is an
outrage upon humanity, savoring more
of Russian than OF American military
and it demands the attention OF
a higher authority than the so-called court
martial which brought in the verdict of con-
victiop.

encouraged the institution OF new eetab-

commend themselves most cordially to
the habitues OF the locality over which
Mr.. Palmer is supposed to exercise pleas.

Even the patrons OF the resorts de-
scribHd as flourishing on the other side of
the Potomac pass the word, as has been
seen in The Times, against these places
which apparently commend themselves to
Sheriff Palmer. THO lambs who permit
themselves to be fleeced day after day

1t is peculiar fact, nevertheless, that
these resorts are not only winked at by
the Sheriff, but are actually protected,
