Burglar Tools.

The possession Of burglar tools ought
10 constitute a misdemeanor Legislation
amending the District statutes to this end
should be enacted by Congress soon after
the opening of the next session. No rea-
sonab BILE and certainly no valid objection
can be raised to such bit of legislation
yet in view Of the Districts experience in
Congress it is unsafe to assume that
either prompt or favorable action will be
taken.
1t is the practice of thieves of all classes
-pckpOckets. sneak thieves strong-arm
men. confidence men and cracksm en-to
follow crowds. The big convention, re-
union or festival gives them unusual OPP
portunity to ply their calling. At times
of the inauguration of a President, Wash
ington is congested with strangers as few
other cities ever are The protection of
strangers from sharpers. as well as the
protection of those sections of Washing
ton that are almost deserted during the
inauguration ceremonies, is the difficult
be strengthened in every way possible.
AS Maj Sylvester pointed out in The
Star last evening, other large cities have
laws making it a miSdemeanor to carry
burglar tools. The law is confessedly de-
fective in its failure to specifically cover
the case OF a man apprehended with bur-
glar tools in his possession. AT present
he is not amenable to the law unless
taken in the act of using the tools.

Olney.

Richard Olney declares for Mr.. Bryan
He is not, however, q new recruit. He
was regular in 1900 on the issue OF i'm
pcrialism. He is regular this year on
what are called general principles. He
sees great dangers to the country from
longer republican rule, tending. he
thinks ii does, to Capitalization and a
cloud of other evils. His remedy is the
election OF Mr.. Bryan. which would be
followed by other democratic triumphs.
and in time would he accomplished
the rescue of affairs from republican
control. Mr.. Olneys letter is probably
intended an offset to Mr. Cleveland
letter advising support of Judge Taft
Is the live Olney more powerful than
the dead Cleveland? He is the fourth
member OF the second Cleveland cabinet
to throw his support to Mr.. Bryan. Judge
Harmon, Hoke Smith and David h

Aeronautical Exhibit.

There is Il peculiar propriety in the de-
cision of the officials of the Smithsonian
Institution and the National Museum to
install in the new National Museum
building an exhibit of aerial navi-
cation devices. 1t is well to begin
this collection while the art of navigating
the air is young, for though l26 yc, IS
have passed since Joseph Montgolfier con-
structed and sent aloft his hot-air balloon
it is fair to say that the art is still in in
fancy. The dirigible balloon does not
date back more than a few years and the
operative aeroplane is distinctly a Gre
alton of today If posterity is to have a
series of models illustrating the develop
ment of aerial navigation it is better to
begin the collection now than later.
There is a fitness in having this exhibit
in Washington, a city which has been so
conspicuousy identified with the science
of aero-dynamics and which now holds
the center OF the stage in the application
of the theory of man-fight.
The Smithsonian Institution is in possess
sion of the aerodrome, aeroplane parts
and models used by Prof s. p. Langley.
late secretary of that institution. The
credit of having built the first motor
driven aeroplane model seems to belong
to Prof Langley.
1t is reported in the news that Octave
Chanute. an aeronautic pioneer, will build
one of his gliding machines for the exhibit
and that the Wright brothers will give
models of their machines. Some of the
exhibits already collected are LilenthaPs
gliding machine, Hargrave's flying ma
chine that was driven by compressed air,
