A.
ty Attorney ZolIman. Anyway,
When the case Of James Hall, the al-
legged plckpocket, over whose releas &c
in q secret session of the municipal
court a week ago, over which the DO
lice department and Assistant County
Attorney Zollman had a falling out
was called before Judge Hine yester-
day, the complaining witness, N. E.
Hanson, of Grove City, failed to ap-
pear. Neither was the prisoner, Hall.
in court, but his bondsmen have been
released.
The police were much disappointe d
at Hanson's failure to appear. The
Grove City man had written several
letters reiterating his claim that he
was positive that Hall was the man
who picked his pocket at the capitol
corner stone laying ceremonies, and
promising to be on hand yesterday.
Assistant County Attorney Zollman in
formed the court that in view of the
criticism that had been passed upon
his course in the case, he was anxious
to have the matter investigated He
therefore requested that a bench war
rant be issued for Hanson, and said
that he would do everything in his
power as an officer Of the county to Sc
cure Hanson's presence. Nothing was
said, however, about Halls absence.
and the police are wondering what good
it will do to get the prosecuting wit
ness when the prisoner has been al
lowed to leave the city and his bonds
men released from their obligation.
The case was continued until Tuesday.
when another effort will be made to
have Hanson in court.

Sevcnty-Five Thousand More.

The second call for troops, issued today,
IS not for so large number as many had
expected, some estimates placing 1t as high
as 2OO,GCO men. The President now asks
for $1,000 additional troops, which will
bring the volunteer army UP to a total of
2OoOOo, without counting the miscellaneous
organizations that have been formed and
accepted for special reasons, aggragating
between 1900 and 10000 more. With the
regular army at 62OOO and the volunteer
force fully organized and equipped under
both calls the entire land force of the coun-
try ready for service will far exceed a
quarter of a million. very respectable body
of troops in point of numbers Doubtless
the second call has been compelled by the
opening up of unexpected conditions in the
far east, as a result of Admiral Dewey's
complete victory. The necessity for send
ing thither an army of 10000 or perhaps
10000 has clearly developed. Meanwhile it
has become apparent that this war demands
plan of campaign broadly based and exc
cuted. Evidently the administration does
not propose to make the mistake of under
estimating the needs of the emergency
There will be no difficulty in supplying the
men under this call. In all likelihood the
only trouble attendant upon the forming
and equipping of this additional force will
be that experienced by the government in
providing the materials necessary t. trans
form the troops from bodies of civilians
into compact organizations of fighters 1t
is &c be taken for granted that the second
call would not have been issued at this
time if the means of furnishing all the
necessary supplies were not safely at hand.

There seems to be good ground for de-
SKIING the passage OF the bill just favor.
ably reported to the House providing for
the removal Of all political disabilities in
CURED by citizens as q result Of the civil
war. The report submitted to the House
by Representative Jenkins, reproduced In
part In today's issue. indicates clearly that
the fourteenth amendment contains evil
dences of an intention on the part OF the
eEacting powers to provide for a merely
temporary condition that demanded the
disbarment from active participation in
the affairs OF state Of those who had been
engaged in instruction. Many signs are
at hand that the time has come to wipe
away this legislative barrier that stands
in the way Of a complete reunion Of the
peoples of the north and the south. The
present war with Spain Ii an opportune
and suggestive time for accomplishing this
desirable end. 1t has already created new
sentiments of national unity and brother
hood. the sincerity or stability Of which
can not be questioned. The folly of pre-
serving the legal relics Of the civil strife
is apparent to all who think at all deeply.

and when finished the city win enjoy the
great blessing of modern rapid transit de-
void Of Objectionable features, traversing
practically every section and neighborhcod
furnishing a cheap, convenient and sener-
ally sufficient service to the people. 1t is
gratifying to note the tendency of the prin-
cipal lines In extending thsir tracks into
the populous suburbs to ignore the privilege
granted them by the present law to use the
overhead trolley beyond the city limits.
Tn. next undertaking Of the Capital Trac-
ton company is understood to De to re-
equip the U street line. extending the con-
duit system to Rock Creek, or nearly three
quarters OF a mile further than Is required
by the statutes. This has already been
done to slightly less extent on the Four
teenth street branch and by the Metropoli-
tan In pushing its Connecticut avenue road
northward beyond the boundary. 1t Is also
contemplated by the latter road IN connec-
tioE with the proposed Mount Pleasant ex-
tersion, and 1t is not too much to hope that
in the near future the limit of prohibition
of the overhead system will be extended
nearly mile beyond the present point at
which that objectionable device must under
the law be discontinued.

The "Distrfct BOys.0

Now that the volunteers from the ma
tional capital are fairly well merged in the
great army gathering at Chickamauga 1T
Is necessary to begin to consider their re-
lations to the central organization of which
they form an integral part. They have
been duly assigned to a brigade, their
brigade to a division. and the division to 4
corps. Henceforth it will be well to bear In
mind that the District boys. the First D. C.
Volunteers. belong to the second brigade
first division. first army corps. This deslg-
nation may be changed The regiment, al
reedy noted by military authorities for It's
excellent equipment and fine appearance,
may be chosen for duty in the Philippines.
Then the home folks will have to learn the
new combination OF army symbols to keep
track of tie gallant Washingtonians But
whatever may be their official enumeration
these soldiers will always be known as the
District boys"

The Invasion of Cuba.

General Miles is having reminders of old
times in the lectures and suggestions that
ara being fred at him on the subject of the
Invasion of Cuba. He must remember how
General Giant caught 1t at the time of tine
Wcksburg campaign, and again in the halt
before Petersburg Both of those maneu-
vers were much too slow to suit the more
impatient of the civilian observers through
out the north. who insisted that the proper
thing to 90 was to rush in and finish the
enemy. What could he be waiting for?
The enemy Was at hand. He had a large
fnrce. and could secure a larger for the
asking But General Grant took his time.
and turned the tricks He knew the con-
dttions far better than his critics.
Something like this is being heard now.
There lies Cuba The enemy Is on the
Inland. and awaits battle. General Miles
has large force at his command. and for
the asking can have it augmented any day.
Why the delay? Why does he not move
and begin the march to Havana?
But II ne were to move tomorrow the
ciamor from this source would not cease.
1t would tlen be insisted that no halt
should take place on Cuban soil. He would
be urged to go right on and crush General
Blanco Immediately. Any stop for prepa-
rations of any kind, or for strengthening
lines OF smoothing the way, would be de-
bounced as evidence OF incompetency He
would be sharply reminded that the coun-
try expected him to fight and not simply
maneuver his men in the presence of the
enemy.
The country, as General Miles well IN
derstands. wants as early action is
consistent with the common sense of the
situation No person who really desires
American success advocates the landing of
an undisciplined and a half-equiI,ped force
in Cuba An invading army should al
ways be as strong possible, both in point
OF numbers and in training. 1t takes hot
and hard work to dislodge men who are
familiar with the ground and are well in
trenched. and 1t is especially important
that there be no bloody repulse at the out
set.
The war is only month old and great
deal in the way of preparation for land
lighting has been done in that time. Much
more remains to be done. but it Is being
hurried as fast as is consistent with its
very great Importance

The Question of Greenbacks.

Judge Lindsay of Kentucky has made an
important contribution To the debate in the
senate on the war revenue bill His speech
delivered yesterday is full of matter per-
tinent to the questions at Issue. and IS
praisewOrthy both on the score of SOUND
irance and patriotism. He points the way
With clearness ami unanswerabie force as
10 the duty of Congress at this time in pro-
viding for the needs of the government
and draws a most forcible distinction be-
tween the policy of merely multiplying the
governments promises to pay demand
m the form % sreenbacks and of putting
real money into the treasury with which
the government may actually pay its way.
The history of the greenbacks is exceed
ngiy Instructive. as Judge Lindsay shows
The oris.i.al .s5ue OF those notes was a
war measure, and was opposed by the dem
ocrats OF that day as vigorously as the
proposition to increase the amount now out
standing is supported by the great major
ity Of the democrats of this day At that
time the government was in hard lines for
money. The measure was justified on that
ground alone. Money today is plentiful
The governments credit is excellent Why,
therefore. readopt in time of plenty a poi
icy which starvation conditions originally
instead the one policy which best accords
with the existing situation?
Inc present is not an appropriate time for
forcing upon legislation measures which
have been rejected by the people at the
polls The verdict of 1896 was clearly
against every form of Organism. And that
verdict should stand until reversed by the
power which delivered it. Surely IL ought
not to be departed from at any point by
the Congress then elected, and particularly
at this time The country's credit, at all
times OF the first Importance, is of vital
concern now; and, as Judge Lindsay felicit-
ously asserts. We should not "discredit our
selves at the very outset by resorting to :.
currency which is IN the nature of a forced
lean. by Issuing notes payable on demand
and putting no money in the treasury to
pay them upon demand"
War Is expensive. and while war contin-
uss the government will need money as
the Texan needed his pistol Any revenue
measure. therefore. which would lack the
power to raise money speedily, abundantly
and incontestably would be worse than a
bhznder.
