An adjourned meeting Of the Board Of
County Commissioners was held on Sat.
urdsy, March l6, at which John Fine
was appointed Constable Of Ruby Hill
Township. his bond being fixed ct 81. 900.
John Moyle Of Ruby Hill fled . com
plant with the Board under the provis-
ions Of the new law regarding n~uissnces,
setting forth that . nuisance was being
maintained in that precinct, aud that
Mrs. Martin Phillippini was the author
Of ID. The Board ordered the District
Attorney to notify Mrs. Phillippini to
abste said nuisance within five days
from the service Of the notice, or an
action would be commenced against her
TO enforce the order, and for the recovery
Of damages and costs; but the nuisance
was abated before the notice was served.
With regard 10 the improvement of the
roads in the northern part Of the county,
1t is understood that many of the resi-
dents Of Pslisade and Pine Valley are in
favor Of cutting : new grade southwark
and directly across the hill from JEWELS
upper ranch, thereby avoiding the old
roadway through Palissde canyon, which
has been washed out regularly every sea-
son during the Spring freshets. II has
been found that the old road il hard to
keep in repair at any season, and it has
proved to be an endless expense 10 the
taxpayers Of that district. The Commits
sioners will take some action in regard
to the matter st their adjourned meeting
on Saturday.
The Board adjourned 10 Saturday,

been aided in organization or persuaded to
move by the investment of local capital.
Presently. when Washington has acquired
a name abroad as a desirable place of loca-
ton for light manufacturing. when perhaps
the Potomac power has been developed.
there will be little difficulty In adding to
the number of plants harmonizing with the
character of the city.
1t is to be remembered by the prospective
local investor that it is no virgin field he is
asked to till There is already a substan-
tial start. Washington has secured place
in the list of American industrial COM
munities, as shown by the recently issued
census bulletin relating to Manufactures
in the District of Columbia" The figures
therein reported may be compared with
those reported from Berlin by Consul Gen
eral Mason, whose remarks on this mat
ter were printed yesterday. In 1889 there
were in Berlin 1.S19.J29 people as against
21S, 11S in the District in 1900; .351 separate
industrial establishments in Berlin and
2.1154 in Washington; 44,0}9 operatives in
Berlin and Las in Washington; in Berlin
during the year the wages paid aggregated
sl1,3l0.3OI and in the District S14643,11i.
This shows that there were more estab-
lishments in the District than in Berlin, de-
spite tHt idfse diifefehce IN the population,
and while more operatives were employed
in Berlin. a larger amount was paid in
wages in Washington. The census enumer-
alton was doubtless more liberal in the
comprehensveness which it gave to the
term manufactl including governmental
establishments, small mechanical indus
tries and some trades which Mr. Mason did
not embrace in his summary. But even
with a generous discount the comparative
showing is encouraging and indicates What
an excellent foundation the enterprising
Washington capitalist has to build upon if
he sincerely desires to foster the indust 'ial
growth of the capital.

could not inspire their men with confidence.
Consequently many costly lessons were
learned by both officers and men during
the early months of the war which might
have been avoided had the army taken the
field with better trained officers. The av-
erage American officer, after his rigorous
training at West Point and his actual SER
vice at some frontier post, where he must
often serve as quartermaster. commissary,
adjutant and judge advocate for the garri-
son. and frequently command company
before he has a bar on his straps, is far
more competent to take the field even a
year after being commissioned than his
prototype of England of five years peace
service. If the chiefs of the American
army would maintain this difference in
favor of their organization they must hold
fast to the examination standards, and in
these really formative days, when the or
ganization is being materially enlarged
and given what may be its structure for
many years to come, they must select
young men for officers who are qualified
mentally to become the helpful instructors
and leaders of their men.

Selecting Army Officers.

The report that large percentage of the
ments as officers in the army cannot nee.
the examination requirements. while Of
course distressing to their friends should
not disquiet those who are watching the
development of the army upon an enlarged
basis. 1t is to the last degree important
that the officers of the army should be men
capable of passing high tests They are
the framework of the structure. If they
are weak, deficient in any mental or moral
quality, the army will lack in efficiency in
parently most just criticisms of the British
force in South Africa during the Boer war
is that the officers were in many cases I'M
equal To their tasks. The men in the ranks
were excellent soldiers within the limita-
tons fixed by the British system, and were
capable of doing as much as their leaders
We're competent to lead them to do. But
the average younger officer. having secured
his commission by favor and passed most
of his previous time as a club dawdler, a
nades. was deficient in technical kmowiedg
and in mental alertness to meet emergen-
ceS. There was no lack of personal
bravery among these men. No charges of
cowardice could attach to the service be-
cause of their conduct, save in the rarest
of individual cases. But they were in too
many instances ignorant of their duties and

Suppressing the street "Masher."
From the Chicago Tribune.


The police department is showing COM
mendable activity. Having declared war on
con men and crooks of every kind, the
new chief announces that the street mash
err is next on his list of those who must
so. 1t is more than probable that the mere
warning will be sufficient to drive most of
the Washers off the street. AS rule
they will not enjoy an encounter with a
large policeman anxious to obey the new
chiefs orders and at the same time to dem
onstrate his chiValry as protector of de-
fenseless women. They belong to a class of
vermin more annoying than dangerous.
They stand on street corners and Oglc every
woman who goes by. They are not at all
likely to do more unless they are given
some encouragement by the object of their
attentions. The street 'masher" would not
long exist If 1t We're not that there are WO-
men who are not averse to a street fiirta-
ton or acquaintanceship. Any woman on
Whom unwelcome attentions are thrust can
find dozen defenders in any street car or
ON any street corner who will be delighted
to transform the creature which has in
suited her into a more less bruised and
ragged bundle of old clothes.

From the New York Mail and Express.

Never before has such keen watch been
kept at this season upon the crop reports
of the country, for it is recognized that the
continuance of prosperity still depends in
small degree upon the surplus products
of the SOIL which contribute largely to
railroad traffic and to the volume of our ex-
ports. First in time and Importance are the
reports of the prospects for wheat, and
these have not been favorable on the list
of May for several years. On the custom
airy scale of comparison in which 100 repre-
Sents the maximum of possible calclla ton,
winter wheat is now set down at ~ D as
compared with an average of 81 for the last
five years. while the conditions for spring
wheat are reported as "highly favorable"
The acreage is fully equal to that of last
year, and though the season is a little late,
the weather conditions have all along been
more promising. There is always the chance
of d setback from the ravages of insects or
the occurrence of summer drought, but the
wide extent of this crop and the range of
climatic influences give to the early indi-
cations a Significance that Is not likely to
be seriously impaired. The weather eye"
of the country is on the alert and sharply
discerns the dependence of one industry
upon another and of trade upon all Thus
far the years prospects are bright.

Mr.. Carnegie Advises the British.

y I-onuon cdDle says.
Andrew Carnegie. at the meeting of the
Iron and Steel Institute yesterday, advised
the British people how to manage their
own affairs. and he is taken to task by
the Chronicle this morning in consequence.
Mr.. Carnegie said that the way to conquer
foreign markets was to have control of
the markets at home. This remark the
Chronicle CONSTITUTES into meaning that En-
glishmen should pay no attention to any
thing outside of the boundaries of the
British Islands, and jumps to the conclu-
sion that Mr. Carnegie breaches a gospel
OF most parochial utilitarianism.
1t is strange that plain a statement
should for a moment have been misunder-
STOOD. Mr.. Carnegie was talking good
United States. and giving his British au-
dicnce the benefit of wisdom he had learned
in this country. The American policy con-
cerned itself first with the home market.
and with establishing home Industries for
controlling it That was the keynote of
protection. The fathers saw that the mar
ket would be most valuable. and that our
growth as a manufacturing nation de-
pended our supremacy in it. Duties
were levied therefore with those considera-
tiOns in view. and all that was sought has
been obtained. We are among the most
powerful of the nations. We are supreme
here at home. and we are reaching out
for other markets to conquer.
But first conquered our own market.
Had not addressed ourselves to that
We should not of course he in condition to-
day to undertake, against strong COMPETE
ton, anything outside. AS it is. are
snug at home and getting to be strong
abroad Our surplus products are increas
ing every year, and We are hestirring our
selves to find profitable sale for them. The
nation that undersells us will find it neces
sary to be up and doing.
1t cannot be said that Great Britain has
neglected her opportunities. She has had
extraordinary success and it has continued
for a long time But conditions have
changed. There's a new coon in town
Two of them, indeed. Germany has come
forward with a rush, and the United States
is now a great rival for business. Great
Britain cannot expect ever again to have
things much her own way. 1t will tax
her severely. indeed. to get a share of
what is going, when competition is SO
strong and some of the advantages are
against her. The United States is now at
the head of the procession. and the nation
that wrests that place from her will have
to get up quite early in the morning.
The candid visitor must be a novelty in
the British Industrial world. and maybe
not altogether an agreeable one. But when
he speaks with the authority of Mr.. Car
negie. and for purposes far from unfriend-
ly. he is entitled to a good deal of con-
sideration. And We may be very sure that
where he is misunderstood in one quarter
as in the case of the London Chronicle-he
will be correctly interpreted in a hundred
others. John Bull, as rule, is a man of
