There is a strong and reasonable sus-
pcion that the talent furnished to crack
the safe Of the ferry company yesterday
morning. and to accomplish sundry other
recent jobs of burglary and highway rob-
berry has drifted across the river from the
Jackson City haven of thugs at the south
end of Long Bridge. The police are COM
mendably vigilant in guarding the ap-
proaches to the city by the two bridges, but
1t is next TO impossible to guarantee safety
to any local interest If the Inhabitants and
loungers at Jackson City and its kindred
resorts take to invasion by water Already
the police are convinced that gangs Of these
hard characters enter the District every
night by small boats The wide expanse Of
the flats gives them an excellent chance to
hide and escape If pursued while the long
stretch Of river front makes complete
supervision impracticable. The natural
remedy lies in a hearty. earnest co-opera-
ton by the Virginia authorities. With their
aid the danger could be eliminated in q
week: without it the District police are
almost helpless to prevent the commission
of all sorts Of crime by unknown crooks
who run quickly to cover under a jurisdic-
tion which, in appearance at least, Is
friendly to them. Such a state of affairs
IL intolerable. The strong contention Of
some Of the best legal authorities Of this
city that Alexander Island belongs to the
District should come to definite test at an
early day. The result of an affirmative
decision of the question might be that after
the unclean spot had been cleansed and
fumigated the same unwholesome growths
would spring up again Just beyond the new
District line. But at least the Virginia
officials would have no excuse for further

"A great wave Oh generosity has swept
over the members of Brooklyn's board Of
education. and they are considering mu-
niiicent plan for the pensioning of school
teachers of that city. The plan is simply
TO let the teachers pension themselves. One
OF the members OF the board, discussing
the subject in recent issue Of New York
paper. said he did not believe in public
pensions for teachers. who by no means,

There is undoubtedly good deal of pub
lie curiosity as to how much backbone the
District Commissioners will show in the
matter of the violation of the street-car
fender order by the local street railroads.
That these corporations are now in default
there is no question: they received warning
from the Commissioners, these officials re-
spending to prolonged and repeated de-
mands from the public for this protection.
that by the first of April they would be
required to equip all cars propelled by
other than horse power with certain pat
terms of tenders and wheel-guards or with
any other patterns that met with the ap-
prevail of the Commissioners. The Com
missioners are now in the position of hay
ing made a peremptory demand that has
been practically refused. There Is a PEN
atty attached to non compliance with the
order. VIII they go to the logical end of
their authority and collect that penalty?
The public naturally has an interest in the
question. If the roads can disregard or
neglect an order SO plainly in the interests
of the people. without suffering FOR their
defiance of the law, they can hereafter set
aside with impunity any other regulation
or ordinance that may be enacted Tor the
protection of passengers or pedestrians.
If it were true that the Commissioners had
been at fault in giving too short time for
the full equipment of the cars with suit
able tenders that fact should have been
made plain to the Commissioners and the
public and satisfactory showing pre-
sented of the exercise of due diligence in
the effort to equip every running car with
the best fender and guard. and of the fact
that the failure had not been due to neg
ligence and Indifference. This show
ing should have been made to the
Commissioners before the expiration Of
the prescribed time for making the equip
ment: it should have been considered open
ly ard publicly and not behind closed doors,
and should have been disposed Of by the
Commissioners before the day when the
penalties under the ordinance attached. 1t
is somewhat late in the day either for the
railways to begin to make excuse or for
the Commissioners, whose eyes give them
certain information, to address polite in
quiries to the companies. requesting them
to state whether they have obeyed the law
and whether they consider themselves ex-
cusable Or inexcusable lawbreakers. The
people of this city want the protection Of
the tenders. The order on this subject is
not an April Fools joke played by the
Commissioners personally upon the street
railway companies.

spent by these public servants in travel, in
attendance upon lectures, in the purchase
Of books and in other directions for the
sole purpose of keeping up with the

cumstances save enough to provide for old
age, and the day soon comes when they are
"ot ohiy beyond the age OF greatest useful

Is detriment and drag on the general
efficiency Of the public school system.
The enterprise Of the Washington asso-
citation Is most commendable and deserves
the support Of all classes of citizens. A
well-managed fund. such as the local plan
contempiates, ought to be secured with
comparative ease. and can undoubtedly be
SO well invested as to insure a large an

and enfeebled teachers may be pensioned
and retired. This will cause more rotation

Where the tall trees shiver a ghOstly kneu
And the specters wander at will.
And what did l put in that terrible tomb
What put in that horrible place?
