sheep, showing decrease of 1000 cattle
and 1900 hogs and an increase of $500

There has been considerable inquiry for
the fieshy steers and bids for them have
been quite liberal. The range of prices

Wntterson,s Hottest. shot.

In reply to the charge that il Henry
Wattersom is intent on uniting the
Democratic party his attitude toward
Grover Cleveland and David B. Hill is
hard to explain, the editor Of the Cour-
ier-J journal In an editorial says:
In his recent manifestation OF politi-
cal activity Mr.. Cleveland may have
been disinterested man. If he was he
made serious mistake in supposing
that he could contribute to Democratic
harmony. But we do not think he was
disinterested man. On the contrary.
it is our opinion that he never drew an
unselfish breath in all his life; that he
goes out after all there is in sight, or he
does not go out at all; that he blocked
the way of all sound money Democrats
in 1896 and that. hoping for a nomina-
tion then, he would not reappear upon
the scene il he did not hope for it now ;
and that all his pretentious posing as a
retired sage and patriot is but the crafty
and spectacular performance of man
who has been-like his younger proto-

1--WE detest him not because OF any
thing he ever did or said to us, but for
what we have seen him do and heard
him do and heard him say to others.
He is an artful, selfish. ignorant and
vulgar professional politician, having
had amazing good fortune and being
possessed of rare skill In the pursuit Of
his own ambition and desires. His re-
appearance upon the scene at this time
could have no other purpose than to
help himself in some form or other. 1t
could have no other effect than to in
flame and divide.
No real Democrat can regard Mr..
Cleveland other than as a marplot and
wrecker. Between him and Bryan we
would support Bryan ten times over;
between him and Roosevelt we would

The NIGHT Schools.

Next Monday night the night schools of
the District, supported by an appropra-
ton of public money, will close for the
season. The funds have been exhausted
and the course of seventy nights is to
come. therefore, to an end. The school au-
tEorities agree that the work Of these
schools this year has been exceptionally
valuable, large numbers of people being
thus permitted to attend classes who would
otherwise have absolutely no opportunity
to acquire even rudimentary instruction.
By means Of organization the system has
been brought to the highest point Of eff
cheney yet attained and SO evident have
been the beneficial results that there is
general sentiment among those acquainted
with the work that the next appropriation
should be materially larger. The sum
named in the current law is $500, a tri1e
when compared with the sum that could
profitaby be expended in extending edu-
cational facilities to the people.
The public school system should not be
confined to the children. An educational
opportunity should be afforded to every
adult who is ambitious to learn. The child
or the adult who has been forced to work
during the usual period OF education must
look to some such extraordinary means of
acquiring DetteT mental equipment. Inc
expression Of the least desire to learn on
the part Of such classes should be eagerly
met by the community. Heretofore the
work undertaken in this line has been well
conducted. but without a sufficient equip
ment to produce the best results. Now
that an effective organization has been Sc
cured and Jealous instructors have been
found to forward the work Systematically
and thoroughly. an ample fund should be
given to carry on this work throughout
the winter. Indeed, the night schools
should be opened as early as are the day
schools and should be continued an equal
period. Seventy nights a year will not
suffice for the education of the thousands
who find in this the only possible opening
to knowledge and advancement. Let there
be more light =

furthermore provide a system OF inspection
which should prove far more satisfactory
than the present method of the occasional
detail of subordinates Of the health depart
ment, who may or may not have the nee
essary technical knowledge.
Unless the existing law Is thus amended
or~is nullified by the upper courts. 1T Will
stand either as an intolerable burden upon
the business men Of Washington or as a
dead letter. If 1t cannot be enforced with
out calling for the radical change OF all
the power and heating plants in the Dis
trict to permit the use OF hard coal, the
business interests of the capital reasonably
demand it's reconsideration and radical
amendment. A law which will compel
every engine. boiler and furnace in WASH
ington except those of private residences,
to be equipped with the most effective
smoke preventing or smoke reducing device
which human ingenuity can invent, should
for the present suffice.
If Congress means either to forbid the
existence of furnaces and engines and the
business ealing for them in the District. or
to prohibit the use of soft coal in the Dis
trct. thereby creating monopoly OF
hard coal, it should do SO only after due
consideration of the meaning of what Is
proposed and then only by direct and
specific provisions. These results are not
to be accomplished by indirection. as would
be the case under a strict enforcement Of
the present law.

The Permanent Census.

The Presidents approval Of the perma-
nent census bill puts the last touch to an
effort which has extended over long per-
iod. Especially during the last two decades
has the demand for the establishment OF
the census bureau on permanent basis
been insistent. AS the country's population
and industries grew it became apparent
that a satisfactory enumeration and diges-
tion of the statistics could be possible only
through a stable and continuous force. The
enormous extent Of the census work In the
last enumeration demonstrated In unmis-
taxable manner the absolute necessity for
the change and the bill which has just be-
come a law resulted. Henceforth the chief
statistical work of the government will be
in charge of technical, permanent bureau,
whose agents will presumably increase in
usefulness and value with their tenure.
No longer will it be necessary to engage
in the enormous task Of organizing an ex-
pert force within a few months without
the least basis Of foundation. With the
higher officials and their several hundred
subordinates trained in the task Of the
collection and preparation Of statistics it
will be possible with a minimum OF expense
and loss Of time to throw special force
into the field each decade, or oftener In
emergencies to count the people and to
study closely the business and sociological
conditions Of the country.
The civil service feature Of the new law
has been the issue most actively discussed
At one time 1t was feared by the adyo-
Gates of the merit system that the vital
principles Of the civil service law were in
some danger through possible invasion Of
the departmental force by large number
Of unexamined clerks displacing from the
eligible lists those aspirants for the public
service who had passed the prescribed
tests. This possibility was eliminated
and the law 1t is now on the statute
books and interpreted in advance by the
President and the Attorney General will re-
duce the danger to the merit system to a
small minimum.
The permanent force will be composed OF
the most efficient Of the clerks who have
served in the work for the past two or three
years. and after organization on a perma-
nent basis all additional clerks will be Sc
cured through the civil service commission,
as is the case in other branches of the gov
ernment. Under these circumstances there
is every reason for both the friends of the
permanent census idea and Of the merit
system to applaud the outcome OF the long
contest to put this highly important bureau
Of the government on business-like effec-
tive basis

SHOOTING STARS.
A Phenomenon Explained.

why Is it, said Mrs. Miggs, that a
single man Is so anxious to take a girl to
the theater and seems to care so little
about plays after he is married.
That's very easily explained" answered
her husband. 1T Is due to a certain de-
plorable but inevitable masculine vanI-
ty. When he takes the girl to whom he is
engaged to the theater he knows she is
comparing him with the handsome hero OF
the play, and to the disadvantage Of the
hero. After marriage she doesn't hesitate
to tell him fatty that he looks like the low
comedian"

The people of Washington. whose mu-
nicipal ideals are exceptionally high, sin
cerely desire the abatement OF the smoke
nuisance. The business men of the capital
Ehare in this sentiment and fully recognize
the truth of the scientific assertion that
smoke represents fuel waste. They have
from the outset, with very few exceptions,
been anxious to find a method whereby to
comply fully with the terms Of the anti
smoke law. They have in the main adopted
devices proclaimed meeting the case,
some having expended thousands Of dollars
In experiments. 1t now appears that their
EFFORTS are In vain, as far as an absolute
compliance with the law is concerned, and
they ale being mulcted in fines. The law
permits no discrimination between those
who honestly try to comply with its terms
and those who disregard them. AS the case
stands. therefore, the boiler owner, who has
made no effort to meet the laws REQUIRE
ments and has expended nothing In tests
and trials, Is financially better off TODAY
and In good standing before the courts
as those who have wasted hundreds of dol
lars and are being fined for the failure Of
the devices they have in good faith adopted
The law apparently does not recognize de-
grees of offending. The offense Is committed
II dense smoke Is unavoidably emitted only
for few minutes each day at the times of
firing. even though the nuisance is abated
during the remainder of the twenty four
hours. The law does not take into consd-
Grafton the question whether the smoke
stack Is so located or is emitting smoke in
such quantities as to constitute an actual
nuisance The law is broken If dense
smoke is emitted for any length Of time,
however brief. in any part of the District
OF Columbia. whether in the remotest cor
ner or the District or in the heart OF the
business center of the city or in close prox.

1t was presumably not the purpose of
congress to impose such burden upon
the conscientious citizens Of the District
when 1t passed the smoke law 1t NAV be
assumed that the houses conceived 1t to be
possible for boiler owner to find q device
which would absolutely prevent smoke

be made in the law and the proposition OF

The proposed statute will put a premium

selection or approval OF the furnace device
