The Commissioners and the Ring.

1t may be said OF the Commissioners
that their vindictiyeness in pursuing an
alleged enemy is only equalled by their
inclination to arbitrarily violate the
law under certain circumst an ces, and
that both these tendencies dwindle to
nonentities compared to their generosity
In rev arding friends through the dis
criminating exercise OF uier official func-
uons. AS an instance of this triocratic
Characteristic, compare the persecution
OF the United States Electric Lighting
Company with the favorS shown its rival,
the Potomac Light and Power Company,
and also witness the gratitude of the
Commissioners manifested i'm their support
Of the street extension scheme and in
apportioning the Distric: to certain stree
railway companies.
Apropos of that latest ring idea. In
recommending the street e xtenson plan the
Commissioners remember the street rail-
ways by asserting that it would be wiser
TO enact law providing for the occupancy
OF certain territory by specified railways
than to allow other lines at some future
time to take possession of the streets. In
carrying out this project he Commissioners
advised against the chartering Of a rail
way to Overlook Heights for the reason hat
it would Interfere with the bobtail runt

ina smuch as few roads would be designated
by statue as the rightful possessors, Of
our streets. Other Instances OF this kind
OF official preference have been repeatedly
published by The Times as evidence that
the District should be under more I'LL
partial government.
When public Officials so far forget their
duty as to use their authority to punish
enemies and reward friends their admin
istration becomes a tyrannical autocracy.
Perhaps this undesirable result was to be
expected from the pre- sent District govern
mcnt, as the appointment of the Commits
sioners was brought about by ring in
fluences, and were the y no 10 yal the power
that made them kings could also cause their
downfall. But that is rot the kind of Of
ficials we should be dependent upon, and
the sooner the investigation that seems
impending Is made into District affairs the
quicker we shall have d more satisfactory
government.
Meantime the public will watch the fight
bel ween the Commissioners and the United
States Electric Lighting Company with
considerable interest. 1t is the kind OF IL
controversy that is likely to end in an i'm
menSe official scandal.

The Work of a Demi-Monde Jury

the members of the demi-monde jury, who
hung the case should be dressed in boomers
and given the freedom of the Division as
reward for their successful efforts.
But this misfit disagreement will not
retard the work of abolishing the disgrace.
II does not signify that because the in
tent of the law occasionally miscarrics,
that the entire fabric of justice is wrong,
and the failure to punish in the Tilford
case will not prevent another trial and
more certain conviction. Nor will 1t in
the least interfere with other prosecutions.
Public sentiment generally is opposed TO
the further use of the center of our city
as moral cesspool, especially since the
new postoffice building is located on It's
outskirts, and, although a few individuals
may take sides with the evil, it must go.
as surely as Congress is in session.
1t would be Interesting to know what
explanation the jurors who are members
OF families can give for their verdict to
their pure minded mothers, wives, sisters or
daughters Perhaps they will argue that
the Division is a necessity, and that the
woman on whom they disagreed is too
valuable to Washington TO punish her for
a violation of the law. or possibly these
sympathizers with the gilded sin may
themselves be 'whtei Sepulchres and
were only rendering aid to one of their
kind. But it is altogether likely they
would rather not bc called upon to ex-
plain.
The morning times., 1896-04-03

The disa grecment OF the jury in the case
of the Tilford woman is, perhaps, the best
thing that could have happened to arouse
public sentiment as TO the true nature OF
the scarlet calling When that evil is so
deeply seated In community that twelve
man can be induced TO disagree in the face
of such convincing testimony, it is time
the public know the character of the ser
pent it is fostering. The acquittal of the
Ferguson woman was TO be expected, mas
much as the testimony afforded opportunity
to men desirous of rendering such verdict,
but the rank perversion OF justice per
petrated by the jury in the Tilford case,
not only indicates the character of the men
who conSpired to assist a prostitute to
liberate herself from the clutches OF the
law, but also proclaims them as equally
unfit TO be recognized as respectable mem
bers of society as are the poor, miserable,
namelcss creatures who act as runners for
the Washington demi-monde
The principal points of the evidence es-
tabished by the prosecution were that the
Tilford woman kept a disorGerly house;
that at the time her place was raided men
and women were found dtogetheFinrooms, one
couple partially disrohed. All OF the women
admitted they had no honorable means of
support, and that they could not testify as
to their manner of living, for fear of self
incrimination. Judge Miller properly char
acterized the result in his assertion that the
disagreement was travesty on justice. and

$3.50 100000. but as this amount Is only
intended TO carry on the government for
period of eight months, the expenditures
OF the next session will be considerably
larger inasmuch as they must make pro-
visions for sixteen instead OF eight months.
But government expenditures of money
are, after all, not question of economy as
much as Of its honest application. Public
improvements, iudiciousIy made, are bene-
fetal, not only to communities, but also To
the entire country, because they put money
in circulation and stimulate trade. The
construction Of Il system OF waterways

facilitate commerce, would not be money
thrown away. 1t is steals in the interests
OF lobbying schemes that cause the public

we should have a billion and half instead

Help the Negro Race.

1t would be serious mistake if the
House fails to adopt the amendment pro-
viding for an appropriation of $32,50o

While that institution is under Sectarian
domination its principal object, neverthe
less, is the education of the colored race,
and this government can We'll afford to
assist in elevating a people which it so
long held in abject slavery. 1t was also an
error of judgment for Congress to cut off
the appropriation for the support Of
Indian schools maintained under sectarian
influences. 1t is more humane to civilize
and educate Indian children than to feed
them in idlencss and ignorance.
Those liberal fanatics who object to
the use of public funds to uplift the dark
skinned races TO the level of the whites
are obstacles to the growth of civilization
and a serious detriment to the eventual en-

we reach q standard OF moral and intellec-
tuaI equality the less need there will be for

no greater factors in the elevation of all

their potential influences.
Let it be remembered by people afraid
of Scctarian domination, that the progress
of the world is due TO the use of the Bible

themselves TO frequent some of these until
they have attained perfect control OF their
