ALL EOR CHA.

Tue citizens of the Capital City Of the
greatest republic in the world last night
adopted resolutions asking for the recognf-
ton of the struggling Cuban insurgents.
The mass meeting last night was sig
nificant, not because the citizens of Wash
ington are any better or more competent
to speak for Cuba than are the citizens
of any other city in these United States;
but this gathering was peculiarly import
ant frem the fact that the word will go
TO all the peoples of earth that Wash
ington has spoken for the insurgents. That
of itself, is almost as good as the actual
recognition by Congress of these 10000
patriots as belIigerents.
Now that the mass meeting is over and
has been successful beyond the expecta-
tious of those who planned it, The Times
feels entitled 10 vent a little natural pride
because of the outcome of a movement
supported by it alone among the news
papers of this city. The day win come
when even our conservative contemporary
press viii rush into print for Cuba, but
until then The Times mast, as always. lead
the way.

A PUBLIC SHAME.

The report OF the grand jury respecting
the Government Printing Office requires
no elaboration. In its very brevity and
conciseness, it presents an indictment
against the Congress of the United States,
which no amount of quibbling, excuse
subterfuge, or specious pleading can initi-
gate. In substance, the grand jury
report is to the effect that although some
tinkering has been done with the struc-
ture which, for nine hours every day,
houses about $500 men and women, il
is so weak that the least extra strain OF
even carelessness may result in the direst
consequences.
There never was in all history such an
outrage perpetrated by a government upon
its employees. Year after year Congress
has been warned that because of the ex-
pense of some hundreds OF thousands of
dollars, it was trifliDg with the lives
of hundreds of persons upon whom thous-
ands of Others are dependent. The warn
ing has not been of a superficial character
1t has beeT fortified by the reports of
expert engineers, men who had not, could
not have had, the slightest pecuniary inter
est in any works to be undertaken in con-
nection with a new building All has
been in vain, showever. Congress has
been deaf to all representations and plead.
ings. 1t has been wiser, in its own esti-
-BlatioH,-than all-the experts, and ali it
has done has been to grant paltry sum
TO do some .pD tcling and tinkermg.
1t is to be supposed that the proper Off
GERS of the government will renew the
Recommendations a new Printing office,
and let US all hope that this Congress will
not turn deaf ear to it, but do what needs
to bedone to prevent mourning in hundreds
of families.

THE TIMES CIRCULATION.
Phenomenal Increase Leads It's Riva

Phenomenal Increase Leads It's Rival
10 Resort to UEderhand Methods.
Since The Times began publishing its
sworn circulation statements. cries OF
distress have from time TO time been
heard from the camps of its comgetitors
But, it was only when the strongest rival
was oyertakeD and distanced In The race
for popularity that undcrhand methods
which would not be tolerated in ordinary
business transactions, were called into use.
The numerous merchants who have been
approached, aEd who have kindly kept The
Times Informed, afford other advertisers
the best evidence of the strength of The
Times, and its value as an advertising
medium-a strength that cannot be shaken
SO long as more than 100, 900 readers daily
say that The Times Is their favorite paper.
The total number OF copies of The Times
actually sold and distributed during the
past week was 22s, ,495. showing a gain
over the preceding week of 1,029, and
5O,942 more than its nearest rival These
figures speak for themselves and are not
affected by slanderous tongues
Circulation brings results, and merchants
who use The Times obtain the results for
which they ad.ertise.

succession that President Phillips would
probably weary of the campaign.
LIGHT. DAwNS.

The providential elimination. temporary
though it may be, of Mr.. Richard John
son from the office of public prosecutor
for Alexandria county and the substitution
of Mr.. Leonard Marbury has already been
fruitful OF results, even though but forty
eight hours have elapsed since Judge
Chichester called upon Mr. Maroury to act.
Several presentments have been made by
him TO the grand jury and the gratifying
prospectus before the people of the county
that the gang of toughs and crooks and
/ -gamblcrs-th have infested the county
/, and run things to suit themselves will be
disrupted and probably altogether broken
up. Nothing could happen that would
give The Times greater pleasure, for that
has been one of the tasks 1t set itself
10 do.
Now that Mr.. Marbury is endeavoring
to do his full duty, the law abiding people
of Alexandria county ought TO hold up
his arms by seeing to it that good men
get upon the trial juries and that the ring
does not succeed to break down, by devious
methods, the force of The testimony which
Mr.. Marbury will be able TO lay before
them. They have prosecuting attorney
who is inearnest with his work and judge
who, while strictly impartial, will not seek
TO shield the guilty. Now they must do
their part also. by their works ye shall
know them" applies to communities no less
than to individuals, and in this particular
Instance the work of the community ought
certainly 10 show itself in the character of
the men upon whose verdict the acquittal
or conviction of the law breakers will de-
pend.
The people of Alexandria county need
look for the publication of the moral at
mosphere 10 nobody but themselves. They
must clean the Augean stable, for Gov.
O'Ferrall merely makes promises to break
them. The good name and fame of their
county is in their keeping. Judge Chiches-
ter and Prosecutor Marbury have done
their part thus far. Now let the people
not fan to do theirs.

NO TRANSFERS.

The abrogation to-day of the transfer
system between the Metropolitan and the
Belt and lexington lines, through the
action of President Phillips, of the first
named company, will not raise either that
official or his company in the esteem OF
good graces of the public Apart from
being a direct violation of statutory pro.
visions, 1T is wanton disregard of the
rights and conveniences of the people. 1t
proves clearly that the Metropolitan Com
pany cares nothing for either legal or moral
obligations.
Serious results may come from this
action. 1t is sure to disarrange many a
business, and will have a particularly
aggravating effect upon persons who rent
rooms or keep boarders on any of the streets
traversed by or contiguous to these lines.
1t may be expected that long, loud wall
VIII go up from these people when the full
effect of the change is felt. The most gen.
eral injury, ho weyer, is inflicted upon the
public generally, which is called upon to
pay two fares where it has been accus-
toned to pay only one.

win not be permitted to have his own
way without some very persistent efforts
being made to the contrary. There are
several ways by which he can be brought
to realization Of the fact that he has
made a monumental blunder. The courts
are open to proceedings of varied char
acter, and 1t is well nigh certain that one
or more OF these will be Instituted. Presi-
dent Phillips will find quite probably that
his new departure viii be the cause of a
good deal Of expense and annoyance to
him, for there seems to be a general
disposition on the part of the public not
to rest supinely under the Metropoiitan's
imposition, but to assert its rights in the
matter.
