4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON; permasent circuintion in Washington three times lurger than that of any other paper im the city. As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Medium it bas ne competitor. Those who witness the parade this afternoon and consider what the Metropolitan Police bas become will find it hard to grax the fact that im the early part of the century Washington's entire body of guardians consisted of four co: stables. But consideration of other munici- pal facts will prevent this tardy development from seeming especially remark«ble. Fo more than a thousand years, and indeeg down nearly to our own era, the great city of Lon- doa was under county government. It was far into the nineteenth century before Boston doffed the township and donned the city style. Manicipal changes aro slow, although faster than rural changes. This shows how consorv- ative is the character of ail our institutions. The English race is the most conservative of all progressive races and always builds on old foundations. Our fowr consta- bies in course of time became forty policemen and as the national capital continued to grow in population, wealth and influence the forty increased nearly ten fold. If Congress heeds the appeal of public neces- sity the Metropolitan Police will number five hundred men within the present century. The force is inadequate in number now and if not soon enlarged will become more and more so every year with positive peril to the interests of the District and the nation at large. All citizens of the United States are interested in the guardianship of its capital, with the safety of the government records and the government property and the unobstructed course of the government service all hanging in a measure on the efiiciency of the guard appointed. The Parade today commemorates the thirtieth anniversary of the organization of the present or Metropolitan Police Within those thirty years what mighty things have been effected both in the city and the republic of which the development of the force may be taken as a token! Desides the political there have been startling mate- rial, social, moral and intellectual changes. ‘The wonderful growth of the capital along with that of the nation; its splendid development from a small, ill-improved, struggling and straggling town to the proportions of a large city with wido, well paved, well shaded, well lighted streets and avenues, with handsome buildings, many parks, beautiful statues and fountains,—all these and still other important signs of progress to be seen on every hand are celebrated in today’s commemoration of the | development of an important branch of the | municipal government into an organization of whose etticiency the city may weil be proud. ‘The suggestions of the day are wide-reaching. ‘They not only take the mind backward to the times that tried men’s souls, but far into the future as well. setts led the way in 188%. During the present year fourteea states have pas. laws to estab- lish the reform. Most of the legislation on the subject in this country is eithe= excellent or pretty good, affording hope for electoral im- provement in many states. Bat ir: four or five states the friends of the reform ballot were forced by its enemies to accept bills that were little better than the old election laws. An ed- itorial in the current Century carefully reviews the changes in the ballot laws and comes to the conclusion that New Jersey and Connecti- eut have poor laws, the latter having caused the contest over the governorship now going on in the courts. The New York, Pennsylvania and Californian laws are noted as “bad,” the former by reason of amend- ments adopted by the last legislature for the purpose of uullifying the good effects of the measure as originally passed. In most cases where the law is defective it is so because either it is made hard for the independent ticket to secure a place on the ballot or the principle of sectecy is violated in some way. ‘This is done sometimes, as in Maryland, by | extra low prices.

Much re- mains to be accomplished, but the fact that twenty-nine out of forty-four states have, in three years, adopted some modification of the reform, and tha: twenty-four or twenty-five of ‘The sonthern newspapers are giving seriou consideration, as well they may, to the propo- sition of the colored alliance, heretofore no- ticed in Tue Stax, relative to the prices of ectton picking. The editor of the Macon Tel- graph, a paper published in the heart of the cotton belt, claims to have sj cial knowledge ofthe subject. That journal says that if the movement of the colored alliance is a success either in exacting the price or in preventing the gathering of the crop it will bankrupt the farmers of the south. Here are the reasons in brief to sustain this apprehension: At $1 per hundred pounds, picking would cost nearly 50 per cent of the value of the clean cotton, when the value of the ration and the expense of get- ting the cotton to the gin house were added. In this region probably 1,600 pounds of seed cotton are required, on an average, to produce 8 500-pound bale. The cost of ration and the incidental expense can hardly be less than $1. ‘The cost of gathering, therefore, would be #17 ® bale, and at present prices the bale is worth considerably lexs than £40, if of the average grade of cotton, in the markets where the farmer is obliged to sell. — te ‘That Park place verdict was strange and un- satisfactory. What is a coroner's jury worth which suggests the giving way from sudden shock of iron columns, and does not say what caused the shock, and that neglects to include any mention of the heavy overweighting by machinery of the floors of the collapsed build- ing? The pubiic verdict is clear and unbesitat- ing that the building was unstable, and the inspection of it—such as there was—a fraud. se The Ford congressional vacancy is earnestly contended for by both parties. It is the only bye-election this year in Michigan and the re- publicans are anxious to retrieve last years’s isuster if possible, while of course the demo- rats are desirous of proving that their success thon was permanent. The result of the election, which cecurs November 3, is awaited with in- terest. ——— The Keystone Bank investigation ought not stop now for lack of a small fund to carry iton.
