THE FISH COMMISSIONER

The report of the I"ss of $4,000 in
building a fishway at Great Falls brings
up the question of the appointment
of successor tu the late Col Mcdonald
1t would have been much better for the
President TO have authorized same fit per
son to act as Commissioner until Congress
assemblies, and that body to then transfer
the entire Commission to the Agricul-
tural Department, but it is more than likely
that be will appoint Fish Commissioner
before many days. As explained before in
The Times the Fish Commission has never
been satisfactorily managed and it is
doubtful if any Commissioner with the
means at his disposal can render satisfac-
tory service.
If an appointment is to be made and the
Commission retained as an independent
branch OF the government service the man
who is made Fish Commissioner should
be a person of practical experience, who is
neither professional angler nor tbeoriz-
ing scientist. Ii would be much better to
select some person from The present force
ofcmployes, whuse record int5e Commission
commends him for the position, than TO
go outside for a Commissioner who will
continue the expenditure of public money
in such failures as the Great Fails fishway-
Perhaps President Cleveland will take
and select an experienced person for Fish
Commissioner instead of an angler, q
scientist or an ordinary business man.

CAIssON EXPLODED.
Four Kentucky GuHrdsmen Blown Up
Early in the Morning.

Louisville, KY, Sept 11.-Four mem
bers of the Louisville Legion Were instantly
killed this morning by the explosion of am
munitiou in the caisson of the gun which
was being driven to Phoenix Hill for ser
vice in connection with the G. A. R. pa
rade. The victims are:
Corp A. L. Robinson, 2233 Graysonstreet.
Private C. Woods, 1881 Vine street.
Private a Mcbride, 525 West Chestnut
street.
william Adams, colored driver.
The soldiers killed were members OF
Battery a, and belonged to section. OF
six in charge OF one gun. Capt. David
Castleman was in coISmand. The four
unfortunatcs were seated on the caisson.
Miss Flora Force, who saw the explosion,
said one of the men on the caisson was
smoking. He was Just about to knock
the ashes off when the explosion came.
1t was heard for the distance of several
miles. Thousands rushed to the scene
of the accident and the intersecting streets
for three blocks were roped off and the
crowd kept back by two companies Of
militia and a detail of police.

THtap A~D LAST RACE.

The Defender was doubtless entitled to
Tuesdays race, but there is no glory in
winning it through q protest. Therefore
the race should either have been sailed over
OF awarded the yalkyrie.- Under almost
any circumstances the Defender is the better
boat, aid her record as winner should be
made on the water and not in the councils
of regatta committee. We don't want
the Dunraven crowd to go back TO England
feeling that the committee as well as public
sentiment was against them and it would
have been wiser TO have given the ValkyriS
the protested race and then let the Defender
win the series by superior sailing.
To-day's race will probably decide the
possession of the Americas cup. The De-
feDder is unquestionably the better boat, and

THE PUBLIC SAYS IT MUST GO.

THE PUBLIC SAYS 1T MUST GO.
The Star day before yesterday published
what must be construed as defense of
Washington's foulest disgrace The Ian
guege is so plain that no other construction
can be placed upon it, and although ii is
intended as an item of news the comment
is SO opinionated that it should have ap-
pcared i'll its editorial columns Following
is what the Star said:
There is 10 be another attempt made at
cleansing that section of the city that is
CONNOLLY known as the DIVISION At
tempts OF this sort have been made In the
past. but the class of women at whom the
war was directed are still in evidence, fsld
tue Division itself is still the Division. 1t
is generally believed that the police depart
ment, as well as other Officials OF the gov
ernmeDt, are in favor of conftnlng women
OF ill repute to n certain limited section OF
the city, where they can be Kept under
close supervision. As the evil is managed
in Washington, this is quite possible, for
the First precinct s:ationhouse is located
in close proximity TO that section or the
iowa. ard u dead line is drawn about it,
outside of which the women may not live
and ply their trade. In case OF robbery
being perpetrated or any disturbance OF the
peace occurring the house is Immediately
raided and tie offenders are brought into
the police court. 1t has been Judge Mil
ler's policy in the past to impose Jail SEN
ience on women who are charged with
keeping disorderly houses, on the theory
that q fire can be easily paid and has no
real effect Tie police officials are satisfied
that IL is impossible to stamp out the evil.
They say Il wi: only spread and create
new cenIers of infection. The best thing to
do, they say. is to keep it under close
surveillance
Notwithstanding the opinion of the Star
there is absolutely no apology for polluting
the most desirable section of our city with
such a plague spot. 1t has already driven
from Pennsylvania avenue many of our
best business houses and unless abolished
viii eventually make the south side of that
important thoroughfare row of dives,
pawn shops. laundries and Jim crack stores.

in the departments along the mall from

Love Letters of Great Men.

Lord Nelson's letters to Emma, Lady
Hamilton, are historic. Here is a very
brief specimen:

or Englishmen; for it comes from the heart

Mozart wrote most tender and amusing
letters to his wife. In one of them, written
from Dresden on April 13, 1888, he says:
II were to tell you of all my follies

you laugh. For instance, when / take it

world at all eventsl. but no. in the least
foolish for US, who love each other so

Beethoven wrote passinnately to the
Countess Guiletta Giucciardi:

PRAISE THAT IS APPRECIATED

n
The Times has been publicly thanked
a Dunber OF times by prominent organiza-
tions for its efforts to better this community,
but among all these ecomiums it prizes none
more mighty than the praise bestowed upon
it yesterday by the Chaplin Auxiliary OF the
W. C. T. U.
When pure minded, philanthropic, cul-
tured women indorse the efforts OF a news
paper to do good in the world the envious
sneers of contemporaries and the selfish
disapproval of individuals are rendered
insignificant in the eyes of well-meaning
people.
In all its attacks on abuses The Times
has scrupulously attempted to show its
sincerity. 1t labors for the good of the
public, and while in doing so there are times
that Individual interests are affected, If
should be understood that no injury is
intended, and that it bear no maliceagainst
anyone. Guided 10y this spirit The Tim..s
will continue to carry on the work for
which it has received the thanks Of the
Chaplin Auxiliary.

The statement of the Star that the police

st did last Saturday. The Star does not
acknowledge, however, that its circula-
ton is less than The Times, although a
strict adherence to the truth would neces-
state that admission. The aggregate
circulation of the Star last week was
only I73 1856. while The Times had bona
flde circulation of 2l2 1856, or 1929 more
