That these

lions. mat these are not
dangers but opportunities. But
that the danger of which you
have the right to warn us in the
.degeneracy of the individual con-
science. On China field, on
Balkan Sea, at Russian Capital,
before the throne of Spain, the
National conscience stands the
limelight scrutiny of envy un-
furnished and unchanged; but at
its base is a force which either
can make for perpituity or dis
intergration. The individual
man or woman with impaired or
no conscience at all is a graver
menace to the institutions which
you have preserved than the
combined attacks of the an
archists of the world. The in
tegrity of individual conscience
will cement with its purity the
entire structure of our nation
throughout all coming time.
From the sentry station of
Conscience as yet our patrol can
report "All's we'll"
The integrity of the national
conscience has engendered an
other outpost i'll our nation
affairs, a Confidence unequalled
in international history. Victors
of many battles, where can the
opening chapters of this conf
dence be laid? Recall the tumul-
tuous scenes of the reconstruction
period, listen to the frenzied cry
of Northern demagogue for the
visitation of vengeance upon a
vanquished opponent, until amid
the confusion your eyes rest on
the man who violated the still
ness of thirty nights with that
relentless and methodic order
"By the left flank, forward" I'M
til he had hammered into sub
mission the magnificent opposi-
tion of your splendid foe, and
now with the smoke of NiCkS-
burg and the powder grim OF APP
pomatox not yet entirely gone,
General u. S. Grant holds aloft
a staying hand and in the words
"My parole is the honor OF the
nation" laid the foundation of
the confidence of today. Until,
note of protest born by the
American Eagle can trim the
claws and muzzel the greed OF
the Russian Bear; can kindle
anew the fires of hope and foun-
tain forth the tears of gratitu de
upon Mongolian counter ace;
can compel the respect of Ger
many, and the admiration of our
noble mother. Old England.
That confidence given birth by
fair play to "Our Own has per-
meated every relation in inter

quest the improvement. No doubt this rule
makes the official life of the board easier.
II Is less frequently "up against" wealthy
and influential owners. This practice en-
ables the Commissioners to progress along
the line of least resistance, even II 1t does
operate to maintain WORKOUT walks in the
heart OF the city for generation.
+ This, then, Is the situation There are
miles of old brick walks in the center of
the city laid in the time of Alexander
Shepherd, and never repaired over which
a hundred thousand pedestrians, residents
and visitors, pass daily. While these walks
are left year after year, the money avail
able for the purpose is largely expended in
remote localities for new cement walks and
wide granite curbs, often in front of I'M
improved and ungraded lots, and over
which walks not one hundred persons pass
daily, and of the number almost none are
visitors.
The board excuses it's action by saying:
"a majority of the abutting property own
ers in the remote locality requested the i'm
provement, and the owners down in the
der the rule" etc, etc.
Instead Of asking What does the best
interest of the greatest number require?
which should be the only inquiry, the Com
missioners ask, who speaks firstT'
So long this miserable rule of the
board is preserved, so long will a very large
part of the money available be used for
walks asked for by .enterprising promoters
of subdivisions. while walks such as are
complained Of by Mr.. Chandler in the CEN
ter of the city will be unreplaced when he
has been gathered to his fathers

Bad Sidewalks.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 tne EullOr OF Inc evening star:
In your issue Of Monday observe that
William e. Chandler has called the at
tention Of the board of Commissioners of
the District to the worn-out sidewalk on
18th street at the corner of H. He says
he has walked over 1t almost daily for
thirty years, and he doesn't know of a
piece Of walk in the center of any city
which is so bad. am glad to know that
citizen Of standing has taken up this
matter, which, at intervals for years in my
feeble way. have endeavored to rectify
by communications to The Star and by cor
respondence with the board of Commission
ers. In answer to one of my published
criticisms Captain Beach, former Engineer
Commissioner, invited. me to call at his
Office and talk 1t over. He said, in effect,
you are right, the large proportion of
worn-out sidewalks is shameful. We are
doing the best we can, ETC." came away,
however, unconvinced that the Commits
sioners were doing the best they could to
cure the evil. On the contrary, ! think
they are doing their very worst.
The trouble Is the vfllainous rule adopted
by the board (for the convenience and COM

worn-out sidewalks only when a majority

Members of the local police force are in
terested considerably in the outcome OF
bill recently reported to the Virginia senate
which is Intended to drive slot machines
from the state.
The bill refers to the machines In which
the question Of gambling forms the i'm
portant feature. There are gambling laws
on the statute books of the old dominion,
but they are not strictly enforced In all
the counties. Slot machines are permitted
by law in some Of the counties. Other
forms of gambling are also permitted, but
not by low.
In Alexandria county some of the gam
bling houses make no effort to conceal the
nature of their business, and their front
doors are open to the public at almost all
hours.

sIn Alexandria county alone there are
several places where Washingtonians and
others can go and lose their money. Then,
in addition to the regular gambling nusi-

CLEVELAND OUT OF POLITICS.
Insists That His Doings
Are Without Significance.

A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: Former President Grover Cleveland
denied today that he had come to New
York city for any political purpose, as was
rumored yesterday. He said:
II came solely for the purpose Of attend
ing the Beecher memorial meeting in
Brooklyn last night. The reports that
had political talk with Edward M. Shep-
ard, William c.. Whitney and others are
untrue. es.--5z.

las for taking any active part in politics,
that is not to be considered.
In an interview by q reporter of the
Times this question was submitted to Mr..
Cleveland:
. 1--WE have situation now in which the
republicans are claiming to be able to elimi-
nate trust evils by publicity measures and
by the enforcement of certain acts regu-
lating commerce, while the democrats and
some of the independent voters, on the
other hand, claim that heo only adequate
remedy is the reformd Of the tariff which
gives to the trusts L.e monopoly they enjoy,
and hence enables them t6 endanger the
prospery Of the view Of this
think trusts and tariff win play in he cam
paign of 19O4?' =====---e
The ex-President said in .Teply:
you may say THU fors me-that Mr..
Cleveland gave 1t as his opinion that the
trust question would n6tkbe eliminated from
the next presidential canvass, and ex-
pressed himself as being entirely unable to
see how the question, gould be wholly d.
vorced from the tariff ISSUE" Then he
added, with emphasis !!7r.To say nothing of
the absolute necessity of good, old-fash-
ined insistence upon tariff reforms for its
own sake and what ftifw4uld do for the

IN THE LOCAL COURTS.
District Attorney is Investigating
Charges in Holland Boat Inquiry.

United States Attorney Beach has re-
ceived from the Attorney General the
papers in connection with the Holland sub
marine boat inquiry, with instructions to
make an investigation and determine
whether or not a prosecution for perjury
should follow.
In view Of the report that Philip. Doblin,
who IS accused of having given false testi-
mony during the hearing, was found day
or two ago wandering in demented con-
dition, 1t Is said at the city hall that
even should he be indicted for perjury it is
probable that his friends would take ad-
vantage Of that section Of the new code
Of law which permits trial by jury to
determine the mental status Of a person
charged with crime prior to the beginning
Of the hearing Of the criminal charge, and
If such person should be- adjudged insane
the case, under the code, must then be GER
titled to the Secretary Of the Interior with
the view Of having the person committed
to the Government Hospital for the In
sane.
1t is understood that the investigation be-
ing conducted by United States Attorney
Beach will not be concluded for ten days.

enacted and the law enforced the better it
will be for many families, fer many men
squander their earnings on the horses with
out any apparent thought Of their wives
and children.
I'm this city there are hundreds of per-
sons almost crazy over race horses and who
spend more than their spare cash in an
effort to get ahead of the horses. In almost
every case it is the same old story-the pool
sellers get all the money.
"A few months ago it was an easy mat
ter to get money on the races with the So
caller handbook men, but since Major Syl-
westerns order to suppress them they have
gone out of business, and now it is a case
of go to the pool room or send money over
by friend.
Gambling on the horse races does more
real harm than the club house gambling
games OF poker, faro and hazard"

the police to lookout for him. The father
made only the one request, so far as Capt.
Boardman knows, and little attention was
paid to the matter.
When Mr.. Mcmahon read in The Star yes
terday the account of the finding Of boys
body in the swamp near Mount Winans, a
suburb Of Baltimore. he concluded that it
was that Of his missing son.
The description of the clothing tailed
with the garments worn by his boy when
he went away from home. His son also
had rosary in his pocket, with medals at
tached, such as the police found on the
body.
Mr. Mcmahon went at once to the ninth
precinct station and talked with Lieut.
Daily. Then Capt. Boardman was consult
ed and he detailed Detective Hewlett to
accompany the father to Mount Winans.
Mr.. Mcmahon returned home this after
noon with the information that the body
buried at Mount Winans Is not that of his
son. He said to Star reporter that he was
satisfied his boy had gone to Missouri,
where his uncle lives. The boy has trav-
eled extensively and he prefers the west to
