Washington and the Thieves.

Yesterdays issue of The Star contained
an article on the comparative immunity OF
Washington from burglars and their iIk
which 1t would be desirable to circulate
freely among that light-fngered and soft
treading gentry. Already the capital has
acquired bad reputation" among the
thieves as a city where not only is thief
quickly spotted but where ne cannot rely
upon the great graft to secure his release
1t is comfort to reflect that the Washing
ton policemen are not tainted with suspicion
as to their honesty In the performance Of
duty There Is no question in the public
mind that the police-prot ected fence is to-
day local stranger. There are compare
lively few mysterious burglaries. So I'M
usual Is it for q maurauder or a murderer
to escape the police that such a case be-

From Rome to Manila.

In the light of the developments at Rome,
the office OF apostolic delegate to the Phil
ippines becomes one of great Importance TO
the Roman Catholic Church and one OF in
terest to the United States This govern
meut will not be asked to make a sugges-
ton on the subject. and could not afford to
make one II asked. but it is clear enough
that the prelate chosen should be man OF
ability and one especially well informed as
to American institutions and the purposes
that underIe them as respects the freedom
OF religious worship. He need not for a
moment lose sight of the interests of his
church while eXerting himself to the ut
most TO bring to an end the difficulties
growing out of the question of the Spanish
frisrs and their holdings in the archipelago.
Presumably Italian will be selected.
And yet if such should be the case. many
eminent American Catholics will. without
open protest. question the wisdom Of the
selection. American-iike. they will ask
themselves. Why not have applied the prin-
ciple Of home rule? Why not have chosen
an American prelate of distinction? There
are many strong men in the church in
America. whose names instantly suggest
themselves in the connection. They are ac-
credited with the direction of much of the
work which has built up their communion
to substantial proportions in the United
States. and what is to be done in the Phil
fppiues will have 10 be done on the same

Now observe New York is a pivotal
state. The democracy cannot elect its pres

Cleveland carried the state in 1884 by less
than twelve hundred votes A close con-
test in 1904 seems unlikely. but no one can
tell what changes may take place between
now and then. At any rate Mr. Devery is
going to work with a will, and as II the
vote Of his district might turn the scale.
And IL that vote should turn the scale, not
trusts, not tariffs. not cheap money, nor
imperialism have shaped history. but the
chasin' after creased pigs, the climbin OF
creased poles. and the ability to run while

box.
This sort Of thing does not conduce to

WaShington'S Hotels.

NO surer evidence of the rapid growth Of
washington as center of American inter
est could possibly be had than the develop
ment of the local hotel business during the
past few years. There Is an increased de-
mand not only for more room for the Wis
itors to the capital. but for better accom-
modations. for greater luxury, for finer ap-
pointments. For many years Washington
suffered by comparison in this particular
with other cities. The hotels here were ex-
cellent. but were not modernly equipped.
The reason was sufficient. The fluctuations
of the travel at times left the city COM
parativeiy deserted, making it improbable
to maintain costly esta blishments the year
around. But the character of the travel
has undeniably changed. Washington is
not Stunned in the hot season as it once
was. Tourists do not postpone their pill
grlmages TO the seat of government be-
cause of the temperatures. Wise munich
pal administration and judicious advertis-
ing of the comforts of the capital In mid
summer have persuaded the country that
this is not as unpleasant a town as 1t has
been represented by some to be. Then too
the course of the public business has con-
sderably changed and there is more activ-
ity here when Congress is not in session.
So that 1t has become feasible for hotel
managers to operate large establishments
on a liber al scale and profit handsomely de-
spite the comparative Shrinkage in the
business for short period. Thus the city
Is now well equipped with handsome and
thoroughly modern hostelries. In addition
to several of this character which are all
ready in operation reports circulate Of the
probable erection at an early date Of an
other OF the same class in a commanding
location. 1t is evident that the tendency
mas not yet run it's course and that the de-
mand for first-class hotel accommodations
has not been met. 1t is assured that as the
hotel facilities increase the travel will keep
pace. for these two factors operate in turn
as cause AMI effect. In addition to the
great volume of transient visitation. Wash
inSton continues to grow at gratifying
rate as residence city and year after year
costly new homes are constructed here by
wealthy men who desire to live in the at
mosphere of art. literature politics and
comfort which surrounds the capital The

Saturday Half-Holidays.

The opinion Of the Districts counsel Mr.
Duva1l. on the subject of the Saturday half
holiday, printed In another part of The Star
today. establishes a local legal opinion
which will doubtless be welcomed by the
employees Of the District government and
gratefully regarded by those Of the execu-
tive departments. OF course Mr.. Duvalls
decision as to the meaning of the new code
amendment. which declares all Saturdays
after twelve o'clock noon to be legai~holi
days 'for all purposes" does not enlarge
the privileges of the department clerks, yet
1t indicates trend Of Interpretation which
may later be followed by the governments
legal authorities. The present practice is
20 close the executive offices on Saturdays
at three o'clock during the heated term, but
If this code amendment should be construed
as having the effect which Mr.. DuvaH con-
ceiyes. 1t will close every government office
at noon on Saturday throughout the entire
year. The merchants of Washington have
very generally adopted the early closing
movement in the summer season. Most of
them draw their blinds and lock their doors
at five O'Clock on other days than Saturday,
on which day they close at one O'Clock.
Thus Washington Is rapidly acquiring the
half-Saturday habit. During the busy
months of autumn, winter and spring Of
course the merchants would not follow the
Saturday half-holiday custom, but on the
contrary would presumably profit greatly
from 1t, keeping their stores open until
late on that night and thus reaping the ad-
vantage of the liberation of a large part
of the population of the District from en-
ployment for half Of the day.

ties almost completely wiped out In the
great surge of persons. the chances for the
thieves to swarm here and do their work
comparatively unmolested would seem to be
excellent. Yet such Is not the case. The
success of the local detectives and police
men in identifying even newcomers in the
ranks of the artful dodgers. the second
story men and the housebreakers is due
largely Of course to the close cooperation
of the police authorities Of all the large
cities and the constant exchange Of inform
alton and means of identification. 1t indi-
Gates what might be done even In a great
community such as New York, where the
police means are much larger than they
are here, but where the percentage of I'M
