DEAD MANS GULCH.

Not in Western wilds, but in the shadow
of the dome of the National Capitol ard
within the boundaries OF the proud old
Mother OF Presidents lies Dead Mau's
Gulch the narrow precincts OF which
present an unbroken record Of darkest
crime Nothing less than death by violence
is 10 be found in the calendar OF the
events that have brought it into fearful
notoriety.
The worst feature of it all, next TO the
commission of the crimes, is that none OF
them has been punished. A perfunctory
inquest has been the beginning and the
ending OF the administration of justice.
From the uncanny region of Dead Mans
Gulch, where on the last Sabbath morn
O man was shot TO death by an unknown
assassin, the crimeladen atmosphere seems
10 have spread all over Alexandria county.
Boodshed. theft. robbery in various forms,
and other more or less aggravated viola
tions of the law run riot i'll that county of
the Old Dominion, where, by reason of
its proximity TO the National Capital, law
aud order should be most sacredly upheld
From one evil decd spring many. 1t
is the hydra-headed monster that rears
its venomous heads more quickly than
they can be cut off. Race track swindlng,
desecration OF the Sabbath by gambling,
rum-selling and rioting, waylaying and
robbing men-all these things are but the
minor gradations which by degrees, and
when occasion offers, lead up TO the
taking OF human life. Little by little the
pioson vitiates everything until even those
who should guard the law are ranged
with the yiolators OF it.
There is but one remedy. The order
loving people OF Alexandria county must
arouse themselves to the realization of
the fact that each one of them is affected
by this carnival OF crime. Moreover, those
that sit in the seat OF authority at the
capital OF the State must WELD what
power they have to root out this plague
that disgraces not only a county but the
whole commonwealth.

h1AHoNE,sLArEsr MOVE.

Gen Malone. who still claims the leader

1vho is the chairman Of the State Re
publican committee, has called a State
convention TO consider the advisability OF
framing a new election law and making
Its enactment the keynote for the impend-

There is great need for a change, for the
walton law, grated on the old Anderson

METRoPoLITAN TRANSFER SYS-
TEN.

The transfer system OF the Metropolitan
railroad needs modification. 1t may seem
a very small thing to complain about
but human happiness often depends upon
trifles. The present system is really a
source Of considerable annoyance to large
number Of people, and The Times feels sure
that the Official OF a road which is
hereafter to be so large factor in the
development OF the city will remove the
cause Of complaint once their attention is
properly directed to it.
The road, necessarily for its own protec-
ton. limits tie time within which trans
fer tickets are available. When the various
functions are reached the conductor has
10 punch each ticket three or four times.
This causes delay, especially if the number
Of passengers should be large. The result
is that people often miss the conn Getting car
and have to stand for several minutes on
the street corners until the next one comes
along.
Therefore, the rapidity of transit is min
imizeG. and much Inconvenience is caused
to business and other people. 1t is es-
peciaIly annoying in wet weather.
The conductors are invariably scOwlet
at, though they are not to blame. They
try 10 anticipate the needs Of passen gers by
distributing transfer tickets before arriving
at the functions, but unfortunately some
people have short memories, or they ma!
be immersed in the attraCtivcness of The
Times, so that they do not think of asking
for the tickets until they are about u
leave the cars.
The old system of having agents at th'
functions worked well, but for reasons o.
economy these agents were dispensed with
The company should supply satisfactor.
substitute, more especially when the electric
system is in full working order.
As we have said, the matter may seem {
small one, but it is big enough To receive
attention

LIBRARY FOR woRKINGMEN.

The movement for q free library and free
Acknowledgements bureau for the workingmen
OF the District of Columbia is gathering
force, aud force of the right kind. too.
1t is dawning upon the people that, with
the wealth OF books aud art objects in this
city, the somewhat shameful condition of
things is presented that the toiling masses
should have no access to them.
Since the great storehouses OF literature
must be closed TO these people, il is neces-
sary that they should have a library OF their
own-one well stocked with standard books
and open to them day and night.
1t is the pleasure OF The Times to-day TO
print strong and eloquent plea for such an
institution from the Rev. F. d. Power,
pastor or the Vermont Avenue Christian
Church. This gentleman says:
Il very cordially indorse the position
OF the wide-awake Washington Times on
the matter OF free Libraries for workingmen.
Such move would be a God-sendto our city.
at is shameful thing that the Capital
OF the nation should offer such meager
privileges as are now open TO the people
in this direction.

question as a whole soured the faith Of
the people in their representatives.
The boEy Of a direful rent in the Demo
cratic soidity OF the South was continually
kept on parade, and representations OF
attendant political calamites were as thick
ss June bugs OF a July evening.
The result was that the five millions
were appropriated by a majority OF only
five votes.

Bicycle saddles in MOST use, it is pointed out,
require many adjustments to be comfortable

of the saddles are absolutely untitled for
