Members of Congress who intend to ac-
quaint themselves thoroughly with the neces-
stiles of legislation for the District, among
whic b ia substa ntial increase of the police
force, can do no better than carefully study
the maps and read the description of the sew
eral police precincts as they are published
from day to da y in The Evening Times. They
constitute object lessons OF the actual condi-
ton of affairs aud leave nothing to guess
work OTTO the Imagination. The Illustration.
published yesterday, of the Sixth precinct
furnishes a striking argument for an i'm
mediate addition to the force.
This precinct, running east from Seventh
street as far as First street east, and
north from the Mall as far as X street.

Better Than Either War or Politics.

The meeting OF the deep waterway CON-
mission at Detroit is of great importance
TO the United States. 1t was created for
the purpose of investigating the practi-
cability of constructing a canal from the
great lakes to the ocean, and is composed
of six members, three of whom are Cana
CianS and three from this country. The
Canadians naturally want the eastern ter
minus OF the canal located in their country,
probably at Quebec. while the American
members all favor New York rs the proper
place TO reach the ocean. The advantages

Will doubtless toe fully set forth in the re-
ports of the two factions OF the com
mission. but no argument Will convince
the American public That its money should
bc invested in an enterprise that wOald
practically be- in control of another gov
crnment.
Unless Congress assumes control of our
great transportation systems and regulates
the rates as well as the manner in which
traffic shall be conducted, it is absolutely
necessary to improve our waterways and
construct canals that will carry freight in

ciently guarded with the force now as
signed to that duty.
If the Sixth precinct could he quoted
as an exception TO the general rule,
different face might be put upon the whole
matter, but. unfortunately, the same con-
ditions exist relatively all over the District.
In all the other precincts the force is ri

Dancing for Charity'S Sake.

The charity ball of the Hebrews of wash
ington, occurring tonight, is one of those
annual events to which the poor of the city
have reason to look forward with feelings OF
grateful anticipation, for ii never ails to
add a handsome sum to the generous char
ity fund dispensed by our Hebrew benevo-
lent associations. AT the supper, which is
the invariable accompaniment oI the bail,
the contributions run up into fom.fgure
amounts. and they are made as cIecrfuly
as if the donors were the recipients of some
great favor.
1t is not only in the matter Of liberal
donations that the Jews excel. nor yet in
the cosmopolitan maunrr of its distribu-
ton which ignores creed, caste, nationality
and color. but in the practice Of that prac-
teal charity which distinguishes helpful
ness from the mere giving of aims. They

charity workers in the human bee hive in
stead OF permitting them to remain drones,
to restore to them their self-relance, to

competition with railroads. Producers in
inland territory cannot market their pro-
ducts abroad or even in scaboard cities be-
cause of excessive freight rates, and IL is
necessary to establish competition in our
transportation systems to insure their
prosperity. While railroads may not be
actually combined under charter to MAIN
tain rates, they have an understanding
with cach other. and with the exception OF
an occasional outbuTst Of ratecutting,
there is no competition.
