One ."ScOrcher" Caught"

The expected has happened at last. A
'scorcher' has been captured. and by
policeman. 1t ought to have happened long
ago, but it has been so that policeman on
a wheel never seemed to be around when
the scorcher was getting in his deadly
work He was on deck last night, though,
and he gathered in one of a quartet Of
thoughtless youngsters who were speeding
down thoroughfare on which there is con-
siderable traffic. A better argument in
Eehalf of bicycle policemen could hardly be
set UP, If any argument was needed. In
other cities the authorities have met the
new and dangerous situation by a police
detail equipped with bicycles. In Washing
ton that has not been done although the
necessity is probably greater here than
elsewhere; last nights capture was purely
voluntary effort by police sergeant who
happens to own wheel. Surely the Com
missioners and the chief of police can,
somehow or other, discover a fund out of
which four or five bicycles may be pur-
chased.

would he do after he got there? He would
have little or nothing in the way of sus-
tenance. He couldn't stay long. If he
found inhabited land he wouldn't have
time to explore 1t. If he found that the
barrenness continued, he wouldn't have
time to take any thorough valuable
scientific observations. Then would come
the peril of the return, and he might not
get back.
But the man in the air ship will labor I'M
der none of these difficulties. The track to
him will be as open coming as going. He
viii have only to point his ship and
take the helm. Then he can provide a full
food supply, and otherwise arrange for
protracted stay. If he finds habitable
land he can explore it. survey it, note all
of its qualities. If he finds nothing but
frozen waste, he can examine the condi-
tons Of that, and proceed with all posi-
bic scientific observations. He will be able
to take his time, as Miss Lucy in the old
song was babe to do.
The return of the first voyager to the
pole in an air ship affords an engaging
theme. Fancy him reporting the discov
cry of new land, and displaying as proofs
N inha bitant or two kidnapped by him in
a spirit of sovereignty and progress. Fancy
him giving it as his opinion that it is
ricner than the Transvaal, and without the
Transvaars fevers or Krugers. Fancy him
paraphrasing Horace Greeley, and advising
the young men of adventurous turn to go
north. Fancy the advice being taken, and
emigrant parties organizing. Would not
the air ship from that day be rapidly per-
fected and become in a short time as great
an Improvement on the first ship as the
railroad train is on the OK cart? Would
not there shortly be passenger ships and
freight ships. and regular aerial lanes of
travel, in every direction, north, south,
east and west?

w cyler is Aground.

The official and probably accurate an
noUECement that the Spanish cruiser Mar
quis de IA En5enada, with Captain-General
Weyler on beard, ran aground at Cabanas-
Is a matter of comparatively little i'm
pCrtaEce- The fact conspicuous, and to
which the worlds attention Is being di-
reCted. is that Weyler himself has run
aground He is much more dangerously
ashore than is the Ensenada, for the En-
scnada will soon float without injury, but
Neyler is on the rocks and is being for
saken by the tide to such an extent that a
total wreck must surely result for
miCable-appearing vessel was the warship
Neyler when it left Spain and sailed to-
ward Cuba OF arms and ammunition and
hghting men there was no lack, and the
Spanish government had not hampered it's
commanding officer with humane instruc-
tCns. According to the Spanish idea the
sailing was plain to unquestionable Vie
tory. But the governmental and military
theories were fatally defective. Despite all
the advantages that money and muscle and
cruelty arrayed on the decks of the Wey-
Ter, the Cubans have steadily pressed on
ward until there now remains in Spanish
possession only a few territoriaIIy-iusig-
nitcant scraps of Cuban soil. 1t is only
natural that Spain should come to the con-
ciUsiOn that the Weyler is of no use
either for fighting or maneuvering, and it
Is not surprising to hear that Spain has
spiked the tCbacco-export rifled-cannon the
recoil of which would, had it been fired,
Rave rendered Cuban independence certain

1t is reasonably certain that the District
apprapriatioa hill for the fiscal year COM
mencing July 1 next will provide for ma
teriaI increase in the strength of the Dis
trict fire department. The House Of Repre-
sentatives has sanctioned the establishment
of new engine company in the vicinity of
North Capitol street and Florida Gvenue-
The Senate has agreed to that and has
added three engines, one of them TO De
housed at Mount Pleasant, while the two
others are to be located by the District
Commissioners. In view of the fact that
the House has not yet accepted the Senate
amendments, it is probable that the Com
u.issioners have not seriously discussed To-
cations This. then. is the time to suggest
to our municipal executive the advisabil!ty
of placing at least one of the two new en-
sires in the heart of the :itys business
section. An uncompIeted program provides
for the removal of Engine Company No. =
from d street near Twelfth 20 Fifteenth
street and Ohio avenue, and the transfer of
a chemical engine to the old home of No. ,.
When this has been done, there Will not be

Washington which needs so much of pro-

the south. Delaware avenue on the east
and Fifteenth street on the west. The sit
uatiOn is more than remarkable; it is
startling. 1t cannot be duplicated in any
other city in the country. 1t should not
exist here. The vast property interests de-
mand the close proximity of a iire-fghting

POSt-Offices at Railway Station

While post-office officials are thinking out
practical suggestions likely to result in bet
torment of the postal service they might
protitably devote some time to the PROPOSE
ton to establish branch post-ottices in
railroad stations. During the past five
years the branch post-otfce has become a
valuable institution; it is appreciated by
all classes of people. The street-railway
postal car has done much to add to the
efficiency of the branch offices but the sys-
tenn will not be nearly perfect until there is
a suboffice at each railway station. The
saving of time-and time is more valuable
now than it has ever been-would be very
great. Why not try the experiment here?
