G STAR, WASHINGTON: THURSDAY. ........... December 9, 1886. ‘The Evening Star hax a reguiar, permanent bona fide daily circulation more than treble that of any other daily puper published in Washington, and equal to that of all the THE STAR cannot undertake to preserve or return rejected communications, Contributors who wish to possess their manuscripts, f un- used, should keep a copy. Ee" No attention paid to Anonymous Lettera. "What the Commissioners of the District have of- fictally stated, and what THE Star has repeatedly urged upon Congress and the public, a to the ne- ceastty of an increase in the number of policemen if the streets of Washington are to be efficiently patrolled, was filustrated yesterday afternoon in case of the desperate affray in F street. In the broad daylight of early afternoon, in one of the Dustest thoroughfare: of the city. at a point which ‘thousands of people pass in an hour, one man fired at another five shots with a pistol, the report of ‘the successive explosions being uncommonly loud, and Yet {t Was not until the victim of the assault had been carried off by the bystanders, and a crowd had surrounded the assailant, and a private citizen assumed the responsibility of taking him im charge, that an officer of the law appeared upon the scene. Lieutenant Keily came on a run, mak- ing the best time he could through the snowy streets: but, if the offender had cared to get away, there could have been nothing but the pluck and promptness of a few civilians toprevent it. Unfortunately, it is not every crowd that con- tains persons bold enough to throw themselves upon a man with a smoking revolver in his hand and a flerce gleam in his eye. That 1s part of the work for which the police are paid, because it tn- volves experience, coolness, and a special risk of life and limb. If there were a sufficient number of policemen on duty in the streets of Washington there would be one always at the corner of Ninth and F streets, within a few feet of the spot where yesterday's affray took place. Two lines of car- ‘track cross each other at that corner, largely in- creasing the danger of accidents, and a group of people numbering from five to twenty stand there almost continually during the busy hours of the day, waiting for transfers from one car to another. ‘There ts, therefore, every reason why this particu- Jar corner should be in charge of an officer without other duties; but with the present force such care is impracticable. Som> time, perhaps, when such an improperly guarded spot becomes the scene of a pistol Oght while several members of Congress are passing, and afew stray shots go statesman- hunting, the law-making branch of the federal government may wake up tothe fact that Wasb- ington fs no longer a village, but a city, and that St deserves police protection in accordance with its size, characte> and importance. <<< It will be sorry tatelligence to some persons who send newspapers, magazines, and other bulky matter through the mails to thetr friends, that the United States government has no jurisdiction of such packages when left on topof a lamp-post letter box. It is true that the loss of articles so placed could never be made good by the govern- ment, because no action for damages would Ite against the sovereign power; but it has always been ‘8 Sort of satisfaction to the mindsof the people who made use of this means of getting their matter mailed to feei that Uncle Sam, with all his wealth ‘and resources, was somehow in custody of it. This Mluston is rudely dispelled by the commissioner's decision in Chicago, in the light of which a horse- ‘lock or a rall fence has as much sanctity as the ‘twp of @ post box, in the eye of the law. The| decision is, however, reasonable, as can be seen at a glance.

There ‘has probably been more thieving carried on from ‘the tops of street boxes than has ever been found out, —$_$$—— a —__ A majority of his fellow-citizens, probably, will remember the late J. Hyatt Smith only as a preacher who turned politician; but the few who Anew him better are aware that that designation ought tobe reversed. He wasa politician long Defore he entered the pulpit, and was a bosom friend of Anson Burlingame. Mr. Burlingame ‘and he wereonce discussing, as young men, their future careers, and registered a joint vow that they would sit in Congress before they died. They ‘both accomplishe1 their ambition, but at widely separated periods. Mr. Smith had a varied career im religion as wel as in politics. He started lite asa Presbyterian, became a Baptist, and then, ‘while filing a Congregationalist pulpit, went over ‘that communion himself. He was not the less @ practical man, however, for these changes of oc- cupation and faith. As a preacher he crowded his chureh to everfigwing, and as a member of Con- ‘grees he suecessfnlly engineered an appropriation ‘of eight hundred thousand dollars for a public Dullding in his home district. —<———— = ____ Washington has been wonderfully spared its quota of those disasters by fire which load down ‘the anmals of other cities with horrors. Richmond, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn, Chi- cago, St. Louis, Milwaukee—all these, and more, have wicneseed scenes of burning which beggar description and counted their dead by scores and undreds. But Washington's hotels and theaters seem to catch fire at fortunate times, or else are so vigflantly guarded that the flames asa rule do not gvt beyond control. If the fire in Lincoln hall had broken out four hours before it did, there might have been a frightful calamity to record. ‘The destruction of property, and particularly of that clothed with historic associations, 1s always to be regretted, but the reasons for thankfulness are so many in this case as to obscure other and Jess happy considerations. 9g ‘The disclosures of this repor- and message Season set at rest forever any doubts that may have remained In the public mind as to why Ger- onimo and his bucks were treated like erring brothers instead of ike red-handed assassins. ‘The President's reference to “the terms of thelr surrender” to Genera? Miles an¢ “the understand. ing Which these murderous savages seemed to en- tertain of the assurances given them,” as the | cause of the'r recelving such gentle attention, mmust be interesting reading to those persons who insisted, at the time of the surrender and for Weeks afterwards, that the Indians were captured like any other outlaws, without parley and with- ut obligations on the part of their conquerer. ee ‘The time wasted by prominent financiers in de- nying absurd reports abou: negotiations made or 4m progress must amoynt to a good deal in the course of a yeas.
