TURN ON THE LIGHT.

1t is rat her surprising to find the fol-
lowinp editorial in the Milford Chronicle,
IN Addicks Republican organ:
The Democratic party is not respon-
sible for, neither should it be held to
.amccolnt for the private acts OF individuals
in its fold. No odium can be cart upon,
or disgrace attached, to any political
party BY the Boggs scandal Those
involved in this unfortunate affair have
no right to blame any political party
With their troubles, and their innocence
ar guilt has no bearing on the political
questions before the people. When the
srial takes place month hence the truth
will be made public that all may know
and Judge for themselves.
Certainly the Democratic party is not
susponsible for the Boggs scandal, al
though all the men thus far arrested on
charges of being implicated with him
happen to be Democrats.
Tie lootng of the First National Bank
If Dover was the crime OF William N.
Bougs. He alone stole the sl07, 900 that
vas unlawfully taken from the banks
Golfers.
But why this evident anxiety on the
part of the Chronicle to defend the
Dem cratic party of any suspicion OF
e,mplicitv in the crime of Boggs? Is it
afraid that later dev. hpments may
aford grounds for laying the Republican
rarty open to the same suspicion.
While Boggs is the real criminal, it
may he that he had accomplices to aid
him in disposing of his stealings, and if
this be true those acconplices will no
doubt be brought to the bar OF justice.
And when this is done, there is strong
probability that all will not be found to
be members Of one political party. al
though political considerations have
noehing whatever to do with the case

ADJUSTMENTS. A

HALEY'S BAND CONCERT.-The first
concert OF the season given by VIII A.
Haley's Concert Band at the Column
bia Theater last night was a great sue
cess mot only in the matter of mere artistic
triumph, but also in the matter of public
support. 1t was, indeed, a Sousa audience
that filled every seat and occupied the
standing room on the first two floors four
and five rows deep, and the manner in
which Mr.. Haley's efforts were received
removed all doubt as to his standing in the
popular mind. 1ne band made a fine ap-
pearance in its new uniforms. The concert
demonstrated that Washington can and will
support local musical organization when
1t has the requisite merit. Viewed from
the musicians standpoint the work of the
band was about all that could be desired.
1t played the various numbers which made
up the program-and many more that were
demanded as encores and double encores-
with spirit and finish, showing eXtraor-
binary amount of skill in the more delicate
passages and bringing out a full volume of
tone in the catchy march music given. Mr..
Haley showed his excellent control over his
men in many ways, every number showing
the results of careful and faithful re-
hearsals under the direction of a thorough
ly Competent leader. Some of the more peas
ing numbers on the program We're a new
overture by Gomez. "Guaranny; sympo-
sium of airs from Offenhachs operas a
lection from The Huguenots" and Bosquet's
waltz, souvenir of Baden. y featule Of
the evening was the new march

Hama. the accomplished Cornetist of the
band. who did some pleudid work during
the course of the evening in band solo pas
Sages, and dedicated to Major Urell, 1St
District of Columbia volunteers, who was
present in the audience. This number was
enthusiastically redeman~ ed. Mr.. Haley
was very generous with his encores. giving
marches and characteristics, although
hardly to the full satisfaction of the audi
ence even then. In fact. although the orig
inal program consisted of but twelve num-
bers, before the evening was concluded the
band had played nearer twenty than a doz-
en-. The last band number was The Star
Spangled Banner, and every one in the
audience arose during its rendition. The
band was assisted by the Philharmonic
Club of twenty voices and the Philharmonic
Quartet. Two solos and choruses were
given by the club. the first one, the In
fiammatus' from Rossni's ''Stabat Mater"
sung by Miss annie AtLee, soprano, and
the second, Lonely Appear from "The
Redemption, with Mrs. Anna Craig Hills
as the soloist Both these numbers elicit
ed enthusiastic applause Miss Blanche
Muir found favor with her audience with
her solo, The Lying Rose and was
obliged to respond to a double encore. The
Philharmonic Quartet, consisting of Mrs.
Anna Craig Hills. Mrs. G. b. keene, Miss
Helen Nye and Miss f. Whitford acquitted
itself very crcditably three numbers,

POLICE COURT BUILDING.
Judge Scott Believes New One Should
Re Built.

Commissioner Wight and Representative
Bingham visited the Police Court Saturday
afternoon to look over the adjacent prop
erty, which it is desired shall be purchased
at a price of $4,000 in order to avoid the
payment of rent for the ground. Judge
kimbal' favors making the purchase. while
Judge Scott opposes it. 1t is Judge Scott S
idea that the Police Court building is un-
safe, and he thinks a new one is needed
1t is likely that he will make an effort to
secure an appropriat ton for a new stTuc-
ture in the near future. The present build
ing he thinks is large enough, but a more
substantial one should be built, and one
court.
The building is the result of alterations
and additions to an old church, and Judge
Scott thinks it is not at al suitable for
court PURPOSES.
