bors- Poultry markets and sausage fac
tories are among the near companions of
the schools. and Notwithstanding the law
saloons are close at hand. In some schools
classes are taught i'll great halls, separated
by wooden curtains, laden with disease
germs brought in by children suffering
from the initial symptoms of scarlet fever
and other juvenile ailments. Damp pave
nents in the play-yards are the rule. Wa
ter closets and other such ARRANGEMENTS
are of the least perfect form and in the
poorest possible condition. Textbooks were
found. too. by the inqurers that smacked
of ancient times, and teaching methods
We're discovered that belonged 20 the days
of the wooden bench and the bunch of birch
rods behind the door. Political appoint
ments had been made for SO many years
that the average of intelligence among the
teachers was desperately low, while every
Item OF expenditure among the schools
was subject TO the grab-game rules that
were recently shown to be the main in
spiration of the police department.
Washingtonians may well congratulate
themselves upon having a system that is
not only ample enough to accommodate a
great majority of the children with full
facilities, and all of them with some, but
that is hot subject to the terrors of I'M
wholesomeness. If the Washington schools
are to be noted for one thing of all others
1t is their cleanliness. The average mtelli-
gence of the teaching force is high, the
civil-service system of appointments pre-
walls and the entire plant is economically
managed. There is little left to desire ex-
cept such an enlargement of the system
that will make It possible to give every
child in the District sufficient accommo-
dations. 1t pays to look abroad once in a
while to see what others have not, in or

Oysters have been discovered on the bot
tom of the battle-ship Texas. If the drain
on the United States treasury should con-
tinue it might be profitable for Uncle Sam
to 60 into the business of cultivating BIZ
valves on a large scale. There are ships
enough in the navy, both ancient and
modern. to afford an excellent plant, es-
pecially as they promise to be useless for
their legitimate purposes as long as Con-
gress refuses to provide adequate docking
facilities or adequate guns. A good, steady
supply of oysters cultivated on the bottoms
of the new cruisers might be made fash
ionable enough to ensure quite a respect
able reyepue.

In the District.

AS one of the results of the accident at
Virginia avenue and 7th street when
train on the cable road was run into by
an engine on the steam road, the officers
of the former road made a formal COM
plant to the Commissioners of the prac-
tice of the Pennsylvania Company of park
ing their cars on Virginia avenue. Pa
trcns of the Belt lire were enabled to ride
as formerly without change of cars. A per-
nit was granted by the Commissioners to
the Georgetown Dock and Elevator Com
pany to lay g track on Water street from
the Aqueduct bridge to Rock creek, thus
providing. it is believed, an entrance for
the Baltimore and Ohio into Georgetown.
Some attention was given to the preva-
lence CT typhoid fever in the city and
committee of the board of trade had
conference with the District Commission
ers relative to the importance of urg
Ing prompt action by Congress on the
sewer extension bill At a meeting of the

the permit issued by the Commissioners
plant on South Capitol street gave rise
to adverse comment. An increase in the
bar room license fee from $500 to $500 and
wholesale license fee from $50 to 800 was
the excise board. A new feature in the
Holt\will case was the publication of
story to the effect that man named
Clyde Cullen of Buckton, Va, was the
the register of Wills. The case of Miss
Flagler, who last August shot and killed
Ernest Green. young colored boy, was
considered by the grand jury. In the ha-
beas corpus proceedings for the release of

made an order directing the discharge of

was found in a delerious condition in the

Judge Bradley's opinion in the Armes
habeas corpus case did not surprise any
army or navy officer familiar with the cir
cumstanceS of Capt Armes's arrest Mill
tary law should not, in time of peace, extend
to confinement of the person, except in cases
where there is reason to believe that the
accused may desert or use violence to other
people. Whether he is on the active or re-
tired list makes no difference.
In the case of Capt. Ar1nes all the re-
quiremertS of the situation would have
been fulfilled by the issuance of an order
putting him under military arrest prepara-
tory to trial by court-martial.
1t is hard to understand how Gen. Scho-
field could have become so ratified" as to
imprison an officer well known to be highly
excitable merely because he sent an i'm
pertinent letter to his superior in rank.
If there really is, as reported, an intention
on the part of the War Department to ap-
peal from Judge Bradley's decision, it is to
be hoped that the department will forego
such an unwise purpose. The matter ought
to be allowed to rest where it is.

Electricity is Getting There.

Experiments were recently made near
Boston in hauling freight by electricity,
with success at once surprising and graft
flying. Still more astonishing is the result
of tests of electric locomotives made in the
railroad tunnels at Baltimore, where q
speed of sixty-one miles an hour was at
tanned. AS the grade was heavy. this is
considered equivalent to seyenty-fve miles
an hour on a level track.

THE WEEK.

The question whether Corbett and
Fitzsimmons, the pugilists, will meet
with hostile intent October 81, has
usurped to a large extent the first
place in popular interest. The Texas
legislature promptly passed law against
fighting. The fighters then turned their at

means. troops If necessary, to drive out
from the Indian Territory persons coming
there with a view Of participating In prize
tight. Then the pugilists thought of Hot
Springs, Ark, but the governor has declared
that he is opposed to the fight and will use
force to prevent it. The representatives of
the British Canadian and United States gov
ernments arranged to meet next week to
settle the claims of vessel owners, whose
sealing craft was seized prior to the an
nouncement of the Paris arbitration, and
antecedent to the modus v,vendi. The tri-
