THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.é., rf FA SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1887-DOUBLE SHEET. THE EVENING STaR.| WASHINGTON: _-February 19, 1987. SATURDAY. CROSBY Ss. NOVES —— Whe Evening Star has a regular, permanent bona fide daily circulation more than treble that of any other daily paper published in Washington, and much greater than tha’ of all the ether daily papers here added together. = THE STAR cannot undertake to preserve oF return rejected communications, Contributors whowish to possess their manuscripts, f wn- used, should keep a copy. § Matter of whatever character intended for publication must, if its «pearance the same day ta desired, reach the office not later than 12 clock noon. §& No attention paid to Anonymous Letters or Communications on any subject, ‘The Guardian League, orzantzed to prevent the corruption of the minors of the District of Colum- Bla by intoxication, gambling or lcentioust has supplemented its avowed and commendable purpose by undertaking the gratuitous and dirty Jod of throwing mud at the morality of the Dis- trlet. The statistician of the league Indicated in Yesterday's Stax his determination to live and die ‘with his besmirching figures, as revised and cor- Tected. His “philosophical” statistics overloo! ‘Washington's phenomenal growth in pop of recent years, adopted the population of 1880 a: a basis of comparison, and selected different periods of tme inthe different cities tobe contrasted. His guess at comparative population may chance to hearly correct, but eireum- stances over Which he has 10 control pre- ‘Vent his figure.juggling from being philosophical. It ig not denied that a greater number of arrests In proportion to population have been made in the District than in New York, Dut it 1s conv that ‘the number of arrests made depends in the largest lasses of cases upon the local powers of police- men in respect to arrests, upon the formal re- quirements preliminary to arrest, upon the indi- ‘Vidual disposition of policemen and upon the local | policy of discouraging or encouraging trivial ar- Festa. During the time selected for comparison ‘the number of arrests made was the basis of pro- motion for District policemen, and as a result the ‘spumber of illegal and trivial arrests was enormous. ‘The communication in another column, in reply to ‘the Guardian League statistics, contains some tn- Yeresting figures in support of this contention. ‘Less than one-half of the persons" arrested in the District were held, and there were, according to ‘the League figures, over four times as many Juvenile arrests, in proportion, as in New York. ‘Over two thousand of the District arrests In 1885, and over one thousand in 1886, were for neglect toobtain dog licenses, a crime which stands out ‘with appalling prominence upon the records of de praved Washington, Numerous arrests for failure ‘Toshovel off snow also Indicate a crime of peculiar malignity prevailing in the District, The great excess of juvenile, trivial and illegal arrests 1s sufficient to account for Washington's large ge eral average of arrests, and a comparison of such arresta, illegal as well as legal, dismissed cases and all, is palpably misleading asan indication of comparative crime. Mr. Sylvester's figures make avery satisfactory showing for Washington, and Gefeat the League statistician upon his own ground. But every observer knows, without figures, that Washington 1s a more orderly and moral city than New York. The minors of the District undoubtedly need protection. The way to obtain it is by amending our antiquated laws, and not by undertaking to prove that Washing- ‘ton would deserve to be swallowed by the opening earth for its manifold wickednesses, but for the saving presence of the good and true men of the Guardian League. ———— It does not seem possible to reconcile the con- Micting accounts of statements made at theinter- ‘View between the Senate sub-committee and the committee from the school board, even after the errors attributed to reporters have been cor- rected. But happily there ts no necessity for the public to decide between the affirming and deny- Jng partles to the interview. The public school system of the city seems to be reasonably safe, ‘whether or not any unguarded expressions fell from the Senate sub-committee. The plan of post- Poning additional teachers and accommodations for the high-grade schools until the urgent need of the low grades is met will receive popular ap- proval, provided the need of these low grades for ‘school room accommodations is met immediately. "The high grades can endure a short postponement of attention far better than the low grades, and a Threat to bring about such a postponement, re- sulting in the full and immediate relief of the suf- Yering low grades without injury to the others, 1s “of the same beneficent character a3 the threat of Senator Dawes, Who says unflinchingly that there shall be no appropriations for the improvement of streets until the needs of the schools are met, and ‘then saves the street appropriations by attending ‘with praiseworthy diligence to the needs of the schools. In view of the denials and explanations of the Senate sub-committee it is evident that the school board and the District, whatever apparent ‘cause of fright may have existed, are more scared than burt. Asfar as the school authorities are concerned 1t is not yet entirely clear whether ter- Tor really caused their blood to curile and their hair to stand on end, of whether, desiring public sympathy, they have been indulging in Aesop’s Shepherd's cry of “Wolf!” —$<$<— Fifteen Men va Fifty Million about describes ‘the present condition of the constitutional amend. ment changing inauguration day from the fourth of March to the thirtieth of April. The Fifty MiL | ‘Hon Will win in the end, but the Fifteen Men, un- luckily for the country, are able to prevent the people of the United States from celebrating the centennial anniversary of constitutional govern- ment on the day when it began, the day when Washington Was first inaugurated—thg thirtieth of April. Two hundred thousand persons, etvil and military, would come to see the centennial President inaagurated if his inaucuration could take place on the thirtieth of April. But if fully one half of that number shall be compelled to Main at home because of the inauguration taking | piace in the most inclement season of the year, we | trust they will then remember that their disap. | pointment 1s due to the indolent inaction of Arteen Of thetr feliow-citizens, who, being entrusted with the amendment by the House of Representatives, have done nothing whatever in regard toit. And | if many of those who come from the south to the ext inauguration are delayed by the foods and freshets of the early spring, and many who come irom the north are smitten on the way by March Ditezards, we trust that they also will remember towhom they are indebted.
