Conspicuous among the western methods of ‘acquiring wealth beea the extremely-improper habit of train-robbing, and upon that teple many a homily has been preached by eastern peopt to be able to understand how it was possible for thr or four or half a dozen men to “hold up a train-load of passengers and get safely away with large booty. But opinions will have to be revised in a hurry, for last night, within forty miles ef the national capital, seven men easily secured control of t north-bound express on the Richmond, ricxsburg and railroad and with them more pay them for the 1 in train-stopping -wrecking effort. It is not at all wonderful that such an uncomfortable currence should have taken place in Vir- sinia cr anywhere in this vicinity, for of all the ways by which dishonest man can steal money none appears to be so ed of operation or so sate as train-robbing; it is only surprising that such things do not happen more frequently. There is con- tinval temptation for men who are inclined to take even desperate chances in the large sts of money carried by the express com- panies, and the temptation is so much the stronger when it is known (as it is here- aly nough money to 1 ud muscle expen t awa abouts) that neither the express companies | nor the railroad companies have made zany provision for protecting the passengers. Now that the horse has been stolen, the stable door will doubtless be doubly locked and barred, so nervous peo- ple who travel tn this neighborhood need not look for a local repetition of last night's crime within the next month or so. But now that the train-robbing industry has been fairly established in the east we may reasonably’ expect to hear of similar hap- pening» in the vicinity of Philadelphia, New York and Boston. —— +02 —_ The betting has begun already in New York on the state and city candidates, and it is to be presumed that from now on to election day these figures will be scanned closely by those interested In the elections and living at a distance from the Scene of the excitement. There is always some measure of guidance to be drawn from ing-ring in these cases. The } early figures would appear to favor Mr. Morton. There has been some money pla in the exchanges at 2 to 1 on the ex- President. Mr. however, is commanding favor of the men ° with money to wager, who are willing to place large sums at even terms on the Tamman: candidate. This would rve to indicate the sporting idea that Hill's is a fight again: the chances, while Tammany, although a sailed by all the decent elements in the cit and apparently at the ebb tide of popula and strength, may possibly pull through Oppose! to this view is the prediction m yesterday by Mr. Grace that Hill will win - Strong will be elected mayor b “M majority. The news dealers York have now threatened to bu! because his firm—Macy & Co.—sell &c., unter price. 4s was also denounced last night by the Trade Union conference of New York as unfit for mayor because as member of the park board ne had allowed the mis- appropriatior of the $1 » fund for the relief of the unemployed Mr. Morton, the republican candidate for governor, is also likely to hear from the labor the Straus, the periodic Mr. mo. marge of having against importing contract labor. So, taking thing with another, the lot of a candidate in New York this year is not al- violated the law one the treasure or | rganizations unless ne can disprove | | going out into the market and- securing his talent there at low rates? It would cer- tainly add to the flavor of politics to have the nominee of the populists for Congress turn up on the stump with a song-and- | dance accompaniment. Or perhaps the tar- iff talker could engage the services of Mile. | Protectioso to warble ballads between his assaults upon the free traders. Maybe the western silver man would | be enhanced as a political factor if he were to surround himself with an at- t-active corps de ballet. Then, indead, ; Would the country enjoy its politics, This | is getting to be too serfous an age, and the mtroduction of a little light and joy into our public functions would be a great boon indeed. After awhile, when the novelty wears off, the debates in Congress might be touched up with occasional banjo per- ; formances by select artis danees conducted in the “bull pen.” Or | maybe there might be competitive pie- eating contests, with the Speaker as the judge of merit. There are vast possibilities ir this notion, and when it takes root then even the most viciously conducted cam- paigns could be depended upon to add ma- | terially to the gayety of nations. soe | Information from Oakland, Cal., is to the effect that “General” Kelley is steadily | engaged in orgunizing an industrial “army” | which, when springtime comes, is to march as rapidly as possible to the national capi- tal. Just what Kelley expects to make }out of cr accomplish through this new “army” of his is not apparent here, but the presumption is that having made a | fairly good living out of last summer's tramp, Keliey has made up his mind to dopt “army” organizing as a profession. If the pretext for the aggregating of any considerable number of tramps is the pc sible bulldozing of Congress, then Kelley's attention should be directed to the fact that Congress must adjourn on March 4; which | date is some time earlier than the Kelley- ites could comfortably start from Cali- fornia for this side of the continent. Kut Kelley should not be alone in the making of preparations; to ket his army into the District’ of Columbia he must first pass through eleven or twelve states, and the governors of those commonweaiths should be studying how to make Keliey’s pilgrim- age a failure. Last summer the various | state authorities hurried the vagrant col- | umns through their respective territories | solely for the purpose of getting rid of them; in future, the practice should be | reversed and the idle ones forced back to | the place of organization. In view of the Possibility that the governors will be as complacent as they were this year, the District Commissioners might reasonably | devote a little attention to the announcs- | ment of “General” Kelley. The policy which permitted the incoming of thousands | of beggars during the present y was unsatisfactory to the citizen and expensive to the community. There is undoubtedly a better way —-— + ee Mrs. Baseman, a Chicago widow, recently | rejected the suit of Mr. Jacobson, who im- | mediately hired a German band to play tunes with suggestive titles under Mrs. | Baseman’s window. The lady stood the | Smiles of her neighbors and the persistence | of the band until patience ceased to be the virtue that it is supposed to be. Then she | pleaded with the leader, who refused to stop playing on the ground that Mr. Jacobson | | had paid well for the music. Thereupon she | went to court and secured an injunction gainst the disappointed lover, to restrain him from giving such objectionable ex- pression to his woe. This shows Mrs. Ra man to be a woman of nerve and action. The developments following her rejection of Mr. Jacobson also demonstrate that she has | rare good judgment in the selection of a husband, for it is more than probable that Jacobson, if accepted, would have exhibited | his tendency to ‘make trouble for the widow in some other way than by a brass band. Perhaps there Is an inherent “toot” ¢on- | cealed within Jacobson’s composition that might have caused the widow more grief in | later years as Mrs. Jacobson than did the | assembled toots of the whole Teutonic ag- gregation, But there are two sides to the question, and there seems to have been a | Serious infraction of personal liberty in the case. If a man is not going to be allowed to show his disappointment in his own pe- | euliar way what fs to become of all the race of lovers who run up against the cold shoulders of their charmers? —~ «—_—_~ The good women of New York evidently do not propose to let their husbands, sons and brothers do all that needs to be done to bring about a reasonable purification in that most corrupt of all municipalities.

The butchers can answer for themselves, if they want to, what is the matter with them, and The Star will answer for the Papers, so far as it is individually affected by Mr. Rudloff’s boomerang query. There is nothing the matter with it. True it is that paper is cheaper than it was formerly. True it is, aiso, that the Mergenthaler ma- chine, under certéin favorable conditions, Saves money. And what is the result? The public has the full benefit of both points. The Star is today giving its readers more than four times as much for their ten cents @ week as it did when paper was higher. Its advertisers have nothing to complain of, either. Directly the reverse, in fact. They are getting, through the constantly increasing circulation of The Star, more than three times as wide a publicity for their announcements as they were getting when the existing advertising rates were adopted. That is “what is the matter with the newspapers,” so far as The Star is con- cerned. If the bakers could point te such & record the public would have no griev- ance against them. On the other hand, it would have much to be thankful for. ——_+ e+ — __. Train-robbers have done many reckless things, but up to this time they have not Successfully interfered with the progress of & trolley-car. soe For several consecutive generations Amer- ican genius has been improving upon E: Ush notions. The process started some- where back in the last century, when cer- taln theories of government were renovated and made as good as new. Today there are Sebres of American thoughts that can trace their ancestry back to the Isles, but they have been far from deteriorating ia their Immigration. Now there comes a new nick- ack in the way of a fad that will provably ge taken up and done over and turned out Vastly improved by the western spirit of refurm and progress. This is evideaced by the success of an English lady who sang her husband into Parliament. She at- tended all his political meetings and so charmed the voters with her sweet voice that they fairly tumbled over each other to cast thelr suffrages for the candidate. This is a very pretty thought, but it would languish in this soil. Here the politician cannot be expected to marry a wife with a Voice. She usuaily has to hustle too hard with her broom and washboard to have any leisure to cultivate het vocal organ. ‘The Nendency of the times is toward specialism, 0 where Is the Rarm In the stumn speaker tween that which is honest and that which | is false—between the clean and the impure.

Sixteen industrious men who are ex- perts in that sort of construction might pessibly complete the building by March 4, 1909—a faraway inauguration day. The average number of men employed during the week now closing was thirty-six and a half. Last week the average was thirty- eight and one-sixth. The average for the two weeks is therefore thirty-seven and two-thirds. It is now two years, seven months and twenty-four days since the post-office building commenced to be. — res —_—_ Had Policeman Terry known that Willis Washington was to die so soon of consump- tion he probably would have refrained from shooting him. — + The New York demoeracy is justified in feeling some apprehension concerning the tricycle style oc political locomotion. ad Major McKinley could hardly b+ blamed for looking just.a ttle velf-conscious when he mentions 1896 in his speeches. —— The activity of the jockey clabs in driving out the policy dealers looks like an effort to corner the market. ——— Governor Waite is evidently saving himself for his thanksgiving remarks. —-+2--_____ Cheaper Bread in Alexandria. From the Ale: dria (Va.) Gazette. The people of Washington are now com- plaining that, though flour is cheaper than ever before, the price of their baker's bread is as high as ever. Months ago a baker of this city, knowing that he could well afford to make a reduction in the price of his bread corresponding to that of the flour of which it is made, advertised in the that he would sell bread at 3 cents oe and ever since then he has been So, and making good bread at that.

Political news has taken precedence of all news during the past week, and the news from New York state has been the most interesting. Ex-Secretary Wm. C. Whitney caused joy in the democratic ranks by a letter tc the chairman of the state committee urging harmony and advocating the election of Senator Hill as governor. The leaders of the “anti-snapper” wing of the party made good their threat of nomi- nating a third ticket, and E. P. Wheeler Was put at the head, the other two being the same as those on the Hill ticket. Mr. Hill stated the democratic side of the case in an address accepting the nomination, and Mr. Morton did likewise for the republicans in a letter. Judge Gaynor announced his declination for justice of the court of ap- peals, and Judge Brown was substituted. Wm. L. Wilson returned from Europe, and was given an ovation at Charlestown, W. Va.; he has entered heartily into the fight, and there is a lively campaign in his dis- trict. The two parties in Massachusetts held conventions and nominated the old tickets, headed by Governor Greenhalge and John E. Russell. The dispensary liquor law was declared constitutional by the South Carolina supreme court. A severe storm swept along the New Jersey coast, causing great damage, and blowing down a seven- story house in New York, which demolished the adjacent building, killing nine persons and injuring a number more. The Lexow committee investigating the police depart- ment in New York continued to develop new scandal. A mine fire and a boiler ex- plosion in the Pennsylvania mining regions resulted in the loss of a number of lives. Tammany nominated Nathan Straus for sovernor, and the anti-Tammany elements W. L. Strong. Fitzsimmons and Corbett, the pugilists, signed articles agreeing to fight for the heavy-weight championship at Jacksonville, Fla., some time after July 1. Gov. Mitchell of Florida says that the fight will not be allowed. He said the same be- fore the Corbett-Mitchell fight. The New York base ball club won the fourth straight game over the Baltimores and took the Temple cup. : Foreign. The Japanese are reported to have cap- tured Wi-ju, on the Yalu river, in the north- west corner of Coréa, and to be in absolute command of that country. Indications point to a march on Moukden, the capital of Man- churia. Reports have come of the landing of Javanese troops on the Chinese side of the Gulf of Pe Chi Li, and the capture of Che Foo, one of the treaty ports, but they have not been confirmed.

Loring, resigned; Mr. Simon Wolf was elected to the vacancy. Bread consumers have noticed the discr2p- ancy between the price of flour and the re- tall price of bread, mainly due to the fact that the latter has remained stationary while the former has been going down: a series of articles on that subject in The Star attracted general attention. The ac- tion of the Bakers’ Exchange in decidiig | to bake a four-cent loaf of cheaper material does not seem to be received with utisfaction. neral ‘There has been no improve- | ment in the dilatory methods in vogue at the building for the new city post-office, as own by the daily records kept by The Star. A large attendance of delegates, and programs teeming wiin interest, marked the sessions of the annual convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. ‘Two murder cases were disposed of during the week. Henry Dasher and Casey Brooks, charged with the murder of George Patterson, were found guilty of manslaughter, while the coroner's jury in the case of Willis Wash- ington, the negro who was shot by Police- a Terry during the S sher’ excite- held that the death was not due to ound inflicted by Terry. The national convention of spiritualists held a three-day session here and the scheme for the eres- tion of temple in this city was reported 5 progress. Lovers of croquet had an opportunity to wiiness expert playing at the tournament held during the week. —_+-6-o— SHOOTING STARS. & October.
