Excise Laws For Alexandria County.

The bills relating to liquor licenses in
Alexandria county, introduced by Delegate
May and passed by the house, will not, 1t
is hoped, meet in the Senate fate like that
of the Maupin bill. Legislation of that sort
is as badly needed in the county as is that
contemplated By the Maupin bill in the
State. The power ought to be put into
the hands of the law and order loving peo-
pie OF Alexandria county to put 4 stop TO
the orgies and Ia wlessness that have been
n disgrace to ii for so long With license

May bills, strictly enforced, jackson City
VIII soon be shorn OF its most injurious
qualities. Then, in some brighter days,
when the people OF Virginia send TO Rich
mond legislature that will not quite so
readily yield to the seductive persua sion OF
a gamblers lobby, Alexandrians may hope
to have the race-track incubus taken off
them and breath freely again.
One of Delegate Mays bills proposes the
increase of the license fee from 500 TO
$3.50. This is in itself a step in the right
direction. Far more important, however,
is the other measure, which provides for
the appointment OF a new board OF excise

Armor Plate Factory for Washington.

The proposition of Senator Smith of New
Jersey, as embodied in a bill introduced by
him to establish an arnor ma king plant in
the District. has considera bic to commend it.
1t would give the government a manufactur-
ing establishment of its own, and probably
lessen the cost of furnishing war vessels with
armor by the United States becoming a
competitor of the Bethlehem and Carnegie
works, which now hold the monopoly for
furnishing that class OF material to the navy.
There would be work enough for all three
establishments, because the building of
war ships must be continued for an indefinite
time. and hitherto there has always been
more or less delay in completing vessels on
account of the factories being in arrears with
furnishing the plates.
Objection will no doubt be made To the
bill by the companies directly Interested,
and the Bethlehem concern especially Will
plead that it fitted up its extensive armor
manufacturing plant upon the express I'M
derstanding that for many years it was to
have virtually the monopoly Of making
armor for the government, and that ON the
strength of such understanding it fitted
up at great expense the necessary plant for
the work. This is unquestionably true,

pointment will rest with the county judge,
and the people or Alexandria county will
have right TO expect that Judge Chichester
will make his selection with great care,
without any reference to political or any
other influences, save those that tend TO
establish the character OF the new COM
missioners as above suspicion and as that
of men who will perform heir duties for the
best interests of the community.
Another provision OF this bill makes it
possible for the people of the county to
scrutinize the applications for licenses
These must be filed with the board at lea st
ten days before the date on which they are
to be considered and acted upon. The
names or the applicants and those who in
dorse them ought to be posted at the court
house as soon as the applications are
received. Then the people would have
time to make due investigation. and file
such objections as they might deem proper
in each particular case, with the excise
board in time 10 be taken into coUsidera-
ton in the action of the commissioners.
There are other features of the bill that
make it possible for the new commissioners
to do much in the direction of purifying the
moral atmosphere OF the county.

the combine proposes to put up the price
from so cents to 81 ton, as may be agreed
upon in the conference. 1t is claimed that
Mr.. Morgan's active interest in this organ
izatiOn is to boom up the stock of the
Reading system, OF which he is in absolute
control. If he succeeds, somebody besides
coal consumers will doubtless also be
squeezed.
When the big railroad systems of the
country began 10 organize a trust a few
weeks ago, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at once took steps to protect the
public by recommending that it be prose-
cuted. 1t would seem. from the information
published of this latest of Mr.. Morgan's
schemes, that il furnishes the same grounds
for the Interstate Commerce Commission
to interfere that prompted IL to act before,
and ii is to be hoped that Mr.. Morrison
and his colleagues will not allow the coal
trust to complete its organization.
Meantime it might be well to ask, what
has become of the inquiry made by Congress
as to what our Attorney General has done
with the antitrust law. That long sought

ury that the Department has no power to
Interfere in the matter, because it cannot
exercise control over the contractor or CON-
tractors by whom the workmen are en-
ployed.
If this be true, then so much the worse
for the government. With constant ap-
peais to the legislative branch to protect
the interests of the working classes with
employers liabilities bills and all that sort
of thing, one would think that the execu-
tive departments would take sufficient
cognizance of public sentiment to so frame
their contracts for public buildings as not
to leave the workingmen at the mercy of
the contractors who fail to provide proper
safeguards simply to save some money
Every government contract for the cree
ton of such a structure ought to contain
clause requiring the contractor to put
substantial flooring On the floor below the
one where the men are working.
Meantime something ought to be done
at the postoffice building to prevent an
other fatality before the structure is fin

but on the other hand, 1t must be remem-
bered that the profits So far made by the
Bethlehem people have been more than
enough to pay for the whole plant, and
have ena bled them TO furnish armur plate

the United States have paid. 1t is not to
be supposed that the Bethlehemites sold

by having manufacturing plant of its own,
did no more than reduce the cost OF the

have been gained.
1t is altogether probable that the two
factories now turning out arrnor plate
would be kept working a their full pa city.

to have a plant OF its own, because, as al
ready stated, the demand exceeds the
supply. Viewed from a purely local stand
