Alexandra county much OF the crime that
has since disgraced that locality might
have been prevented.
The fact that Ia wlessness has never found
any permanent lodgment in that part OF
Maryland, which borders on the District
speaks well for the law abiding spirit OF
our neighbors. With the exception of an
occasional prize fight or some temporary
misconduct we have never been troubled
with Maryland misdemeanors, and there is
every reason to think that the gamblers
who have opened up Walton's club house
viii be given short shift and uncermonious
treatment.
The principal victims of such unprincipled
places are the young men of this city. and
If employers only knew how frequently
their trusted assistants visit such gambling
dens they would be more active in demand
ing their suppression.
The closing of the outlaw ira cks will do
much to rid us of the element that preys
on the confiding public, and with the co..
operation of both the Virginia and Mary
land authorities we should soon clear away
the contingent of gamblers and thieves re-
sponsible for SO many depredations in
this city.

Tnkiup Part in Battle~

London, Jan. THE Times will tomOr'
row publish dispatch from Madrid stat
ing that despite official denials of the
reports that Captain General Campos Will
resign his command in Cuba, public opinion
accepts as a fact the possibility of his
handing over the active command OF the

younger general, while he retains the
position of Governor.
1t is well known that the health OF

W HERE was an interesting little debate
over the purchase OF a painting of the
late Allen G. Thurman. Mr.. Voor-
hees wanted $3.50 to make the purchase
with.
Mr.. Hoar insisted that the picture was
only worth $500 and the frame $50.
But Mr.. yoorhees, with a shrug that would
make fortune on the stage and hands
spread abroad, claimed:
Its cheap, Mr.. President, at that
price"

The outlook for ths snccess of the popular
bond sale is not especially encouraging.
The administration hesitated d littletoo long
before deciding between the gold trust and
the people. and in doing so gave the trusts
time to corner the yellow metal. II is now
claimed that the Morgan syndicate has
nearly S2OO, 100000 subscribed to a gold
fund TO force the administration to accept
its terms, and IL is the opinion of many
well informed financiers that it viii
finally succeed In accomplishing its object.
Reports from foreign bankers indicate
that coin bonds cannot be sold TO any great
extent with them, especially since the SEN
there is little hope Of borro wing 100000
900 outside the gold trust.
The four issues of bonds contracted by this
administration will cost the people nearly
a half billion of dollars The total interest
created during the life of the bonds amounts
to S23s, 900 900, which added TO the prin-
cipaI of S262,00O,O00 foots up the obli-
cation imposed on Uncle Sam by this duck

that required to carry on the government
with all its vast machinery, stealings in
Congress and extravagant expenditures
for tile period of one year. Surely the

1T is the general belief that an early adj
| journment viii also be the program in
the House today. 1t is not the inten-
ton OF the leaders to permit any campaign
topics to come up for extended discussion
and none of the committees have any report
ready to make. There is possibility that
the subcommittee OF the Appropriations
Committee having in charge the pension
appropriation bill will be ready to bring
il forward for consideration Wednesday.
1t is expected this will set the pace and
the other appropriation bills can be gotten
into line and so follow each other as to
keep Congress busy along legitimate lines.
In any event, short sessions will prevail
until the committees get around TO their
regular daily grind of reports.

W HE very few old members OF the House
recall the fact that Robert 7. Var
Horn, OF Kansas City. who Is contesting
Representative TaRneys seat, has had
much practical experience In Legislation,
and would be valuable addition to the
ma iority. Mr.. Van Horn was elected TO the
Forty-seventh Congress because of the fact
that the Democrats split, and placed In
nomination two straight out and out candi-
dates.
The two Democrats together polled ID.
115 votes. which were so eve uiy divided that
Van Horn pulled through with S.3o5 votes.
He WAS chairman In that Congress OF the
Joint Committcr ON printing. his Republican
associate being A. 5. Mcclure. OF Ohio. and
his Democratic associa te william n.
Springer.
IL IL n remarkable coincidence that Mr..
Mcclure, also a Dewspa per man. was
elected TO the Fortyseyenth Congress
from Ohio. and served but one term. Now.
after lapse OF fourteen years, Mcclure Is
again elected To Congress from Ohio at
the same time that Van Horn claims a
second election from Missouri. The form
er is now In a position to vote for the
seating OF his old friend on the Printing
