We have made careful and eN-
tended inquiry into the character
OF the excursions now being adj
vertised in the Gazette, and are
informed that the most Scrupu-
lous care is taken to prevent OBJ
jectionable characters becoming
passengers on the trips. In fact,
the acceptance OF the agency by
our esteemed fellow-townsman,
Mr.. c. w. Wattles, should be a
guaranty as to the responsibility
of the patrons and the proper
maintenance of order on the trips.

THAT RIVER TRAGEDY

The disgraceful occurrence that
has just taken place on one OF the
Potomac River excursion boats
is indeed to be deeply deplored.
The prime cause seems to have
been rotten whisky. From reports
current, there is something too
much OF bootlegging going on in
and around Alexandria. Whose
business is it to investigate this
illicit traffic in liquor? And whose
business is it to stop it when 1t IS
found? San Francisco once eft
fectively stopped the orgies OF
crime in that city by an organlza-
ton who called themselves vigil
antes'. Chicago today is discus
sing a similar plan. Can it be
possible that this city should ever
find itself in a position where it
could not depend upon its legally
constituted authorities to protect
it from law-brcaking and evil do
ing? We cannot believe it-but
still there is too much whispering
and sub rosa accusation going on
in this community to be entirely
without foundation!
If the charges are true-why
not come out in the open and make
them? If they are false, why not
prove them so, and put quietus
on their circulation?
AlexandrianS have never yet
been charged with military cow
ardicc. But in our opinion that
is no worse than civic cowardiCe.
Nor shall we believe that they are
guilty of such arraignment till it
is proved beyond reasonable
doubt
