4 THE_EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: WEDNESDAY December 16, 1891. The Attcrney General's report calls attention to the inadequacy of the District law concern- ing crimes against chastity, aud the President in bie message emphasizes the matter. imperfection in the law undoubtedly exists It was held up to public inspection fifteen or six teen years ago in our courte when Judgm for damages against a man who had slandered an unmarried woman by imputing to her un- chastity was arrested, because. be it noted, such anchastity was not an indictable offense fm the District, and the slanderer had im- puted nothing to the slandered which Die- trict iew, unaided by an allegation of epecial damage in the pleadings, conid pro- Zounce injurious. But the absurdities of the srtiqueved exatute law of the capital had been @n etb:itfos ince the creation of the District, and knowledce of this particular defect made no special twpresston. The President and At- tornes General do well to call iegitintive atten- Won ‘0 this inadequacy, but they might ea bave eniarged the list of the sins of omission and commission to be noted in the District siatates, and called upon Congress for com- prebeosive modern legislation instead of the patch work of avtiquities which constitutes the Sody of the capital's substantive law It is outrag+ous that a modern and progressive city sbould be sompelied tc burrow for its law ‘throagi musty volumes of British statutes iz force in Maryland at the time of the cession of the territory to the Usited States for the feat of goveroment, and Maryland statutes from 1704 to 1801, arcient laws now obsolete or Fepesicd in large part in Maryland itself, but pull nominally ip foree tu the District, creating aad punishing eighteenth century erimes by peraities ranging from physical mutilation to je in tobacco, toteily unfit for applé civilized community in the theentay Whea the searcher for trict iaw has rareackod thie magenm of a . ke continnes bie inv revised statutes of the Tnited Si sprcificaliy te the District aud the general re vised statuies «bic «: ie plien.

The Di uucertain confused, many points antiquated and absurd. A com Pilaiion i# now under way It onght to be promptly Suiehed and presented te Congress Woea an autborized compilation bar been ov- tained, the opportunity will be furnished of ciearing away by amendment any antiquated provisions, outgrown by England and Mary- land from which they came, but still in force in the District, and statutes in the line of mod- ern legisintion msy be substituted in their Place. te Chilo is taking time, it is said. in her reply to demands of the United States with the pur pose of completing her great war ship tow building in France. The question bas arisen here, Why give her time for warlike prepara. tions? Time only for diplomatic action, rea- gonable time for the ascertainment by the Joeal tribunals engaged in investigating the affair of the Baltimore, is all that Chile Bas the right to expect to be conceded to her. ‘There is an impression derived from the tenor of the President's message and other circum- stances that this republic will not wait until the Capitan Prat is turned over to Chile before making an ultimatum. The President inti- mated ip the message that a special message to ‘Congress in the Chilean matter might be sent if the occasion seemed to require it It is very certain that whatever steps are takeu by this government in vindication of the national rights wil) be taken after due deliberation, but ‘with all necessary promptitude Chile will not be permitted to evade ber responsibilities. ——__64 It ise truism thet the border line between sanity and insanity is often scarcely percepti- ble. The case of Norcross, the bomb thrower, may be a good illustration, as it appears that nobody suspected himof mental aberration. It Seems person may be cultured, active in in- dustrial pursuits, amiable in disposition, and yet, in the twinkling of an eye, become a mad- gaan with murderous instinct and possessing the mental cunning and brutal capacity to in- flict the most diabolical harm on his fellow men. Whether our abnormally restless life, ‘with its fluctuations of hope and despair, be chiefly responsible, or whether there is also lack of moral restraints directly loading to con- scious errancy or violence that is irrespuasible, who may besure, study the question ever 60 closely and profoundly as one may? The idea of prohibiting the sale of revolvers at the police sale is an excellont one. Much of the crime im this city has been plainly due to promiscuous pistol carrying, and there was an absurdity in the esetem which took a pistol from a boy one month end sold it back to bira the next at a small rato which would be amas- fing were the results not so serious Tho destruction of these weapons is but a logical step in the effurt to secure safety to life in the community. The re-sle of them was pre- posterous. ———_ The proposition of a New York Methodist winister to convert the basements of chorches futo billiard rooms is not by any means so un- Feasonable as it might seem at the first glance. A game of billiards 1s cot harmful except be- cause of tho associations which surround it By placing tables where liquor and bad com- pany would bave ne possible room the saloon ‘would be deprived of one of its wost powerful auxiliaries. —--——» +e --- A practical illustration of the “Am I my brother's keeper” practice of mankind is Yividiy afforded by an incident on the New ‘York elevated railroad. Thousands of people during three dayssaw the staring eyes of a dead man at a window before anybody busied bimself enough to enter the premises and in- ‘vestigate. ++ —____ Mr. Holman will now be in a position to fully demonstrate his claim to the title of “watchdog of the treasury.” It will not be amiss to remember, however, that a watch-dog must exercise a good deal of judgment and discrimination to discharge his duties in a satis- factory manner. ——_—_»=. The bill to protect the American flag from indignity embodies @ worthy scctiment, although there is no indication that the general public bas shown a lack of respect for it. It has suffered so far no loss of honor by being Jeft freely im the hands of the people. — Tolstoi’s work in bebulf of Ressian sufferers gives the American public the grati‘ying op- portunity to feel that some of the money ‘that was wasted in the Kreatzer Sonam will be pat to s good purpose. ———<- The Tammany Tiger's assertion that it does not want Warhington patronage is seemly. The proper thing for this interesting feline to do is to sit down and purr in Beposefal content for awhile —_—_—+s—___ ‘The argument that the District could not withhold the money forfeited by the garbage coutractor through his failure tw hold to the terms of bis agreement has been refuted by ‘the most practical test possible. os Mise Chicago finds her Christunns stocking at Jest completely Giled by her world's fair pros- apaahage att Pee It is consiaered portentous that Speaker Crisp \ nds his new Georgia pine gavel toe frail for eatin 100 yaa’ Peter ye Bp A HE kf PAUL ¥ Ee 3 F = 2 Keep in mind what we asta yeater- Gay shout the “tendency of the times” 10 lower the quality of mer- chandise fn order to quote a low price, We hat Here yon the lowest price compatibie there- with.
