This observation applies to rural districts and country vil- lages, as well as to large cities, and, un- happily it applies with startling force to Washington, so far as housebreaking is ecncerned. Several reasons can be ad- vanced for this disquieting stat2 of things. The large number of persons out of work, and who really do not want work, explains ft In part. Then the chance of large re- turns on small risks is another factor. But far above and beyond these reasons are the patent facts that the punishment fixed for these crimes by existing laws is not adequate, and, furthermore, that such laws as are on the statute books are not properly enforced. The peralty for house- breaking, for example, is nothing like severe enough. Nine times in ten when a man enters a house at night he goes armed, and has both the preparation and inten- tion to commit murder, if neccessary to carry out his ends. Hence, to make the crime of burglary a capital, offence is noti- Ing too much to afford adequate protec- tion to society against criminals of that dangerous class. But, if that be regarded as extreme by the law makers, certainly the term of imprisonment for so heinous an offence should be made longer. Then, the courts should, as a rule, revers2 their present common practice, and impose the full Iimit of confinement upon those con- victed of the crime. The maximum penalty generally; the minimum never; for it is ‘orly when your burglar is behind the bars that community has insurance of safety. In almost every instance, if not actually a “professional,” he belongs to the criminal classes, by choice, and is consequently be- yond any hope of reform. His acts are those of cold-blooded determination, not of impulse. There is, therefore, no good ground for being lenient with him. He has taken up the dagger and the pistol against his fellow man. Let him be punished ac- cordingly. — Election Estimates. The New York campaign has progressed far enough now fgr the statistician to begin to figure out the chances for the success of ‘Tammany or fusion in the city, and there is a wide divergence of opinion regarding the result. But one fact is specially nota- ble. The claims of the Tammany managers are too large to be based on anything much more substantial than mere hope, while the assertions of the republicans and fusionists indicate that they have spent some time in analyzing the registration figures and are founding their estimate upon real probabili- ties. Pre-election Statistics are always to be regarded with more or less suspicion as in a majority of cases they emanate from interested sources and are pyt forth for definite campaign purposes, to bolster up the faint-hearted and to allure the support of those who desire to vote the winning ticket. The latest Tammany estimate is that the city will be carried by the democ- racy by from forty to fifty thousand, while the fusion leaders claim that they will win | by from ten to fifteen thousand. One set of figures, from a republican source, gives Tammany about 112,000 votes and the re- Publicans 105,000. On a basis of 250,000 vetes cast in all, this would leave 33,000 yctes to he-accounted for, enough to decide the election. Some of these are to be di- vided between the good government, prohi- bitionist, Steckler and united labor tickets, so that the side issues or factions may in reality hold the balance of power. It is the general opinion, it would seem, that the tulk of these votes will eventually be cast for one or the other of the two leading tickets. The “good government” people are not a unit in the support of their own ticket, ahd, with the single exception of the Stecklerites, mene of the other inde- pendent organization are calculated upon as important. The strength of the Steckle- rites .comes mainly from Tammany and that of the scod government faction from the fusion ranks. But all cOme out of the “Llind pool” of approximately 33,000 votes unaccounted for, and all the calculations, considered together, show that the election looks close at the present time. Some ap- prehension is felt by the friends of better government lest the trouble over the prep- aration of the ballots caused by Judge Beach's tardy decision that the state dem- ccracy ticket cannot be printed may cause the entire election to fail, but such compli- cations have developed on the eve of other elections and the ballots have always been properly prepared at the last moment,- so that this contingency 1s not ears) as probable. ——_ + + = ____ There !s trouble in a St. Louis restaurant because the proprietor ordered the girls who wait on the table to wear bloomers. He was not diplomatic. If he desired to introduce the costume in his establishment he should have started by informing the girls that they would not under any cir- cumstances be permitted to wear bloomers, attaining his purpose by gradually yielding the point. ——— +02 —__ Seventy-nine men only were at work today on the post office building. —— + ee An Impudent Argument. Nothing could more thoroughly char- acterize the insolent defiance of the steam railroads entering Washington of the rights of citizens than the brief of the attorney for the Pennsylvania road, submitted to the Commissioners before the latter decided to issue their order compelling the steam trains to stop before crossing rapid-transit streeticar tracks. Nor could anything more completely justify the Commissioners in their action. The effrontery of the rall- road's claim is conclusive evidence that it will never do anything willingly toward a modification of the grade-crossing evil. No hope need be entertained in that direction as long as the corporation pretends to be- Neve that the street-car lines should be depressed or elevated to avoid the tracks of the steam road because the street-car is the later comer, and the steam road the pioneer, the first occupant, the original squatter, not to be moved under any consideration, even when its presence Is demonstrated to be a nuisance and a menace to life and limb. The argument consists of three assertions, the first of which has just been given. The second is that the steam road should not be made to suffer because the street-car line has adopted a motive power that makes it dangerous. Wherein does the danger at a grade-crossing exi#@? In the man who, by reason of his inferior physical structure, Is unable to survive the shock of a rapidly- moving railroad train? In the street-car company that, serving as a great conveni- ence to thousands of people, is willing to do its share to avoid collisions? Or in the rail- road corporation that, illegally occupying a public street against the desire of the peo- ple, persists In running trains through the city, regardless of pedestrians, vehicles or street-cars, simply because it can do so? The third section of this remarkabln brief is ingenious but scarcely convincing. The attorney affirms, with shrewd silence on the most important side of the considera- tion, that the steam road runs sixty trains over the car tracks daily, and that to stop each of these would be a desperate hard- ship. Why did he not go farther and show that the Seventh street line of street-cars runs upward of eight hundred trains a day across the tracks, and that at Four-and- one-half street fully four hundred more cross the dangerous rails every twenty-four hours, making a total of twelve hundred trains, or twenty times as many as those of the railroad? Why not be honest in such matters? Each of these twelve hundred cable and electric trains is stopped, and sixty trains should do as much. But there is another point on which the brief is silent. The streets of Washington are not for the benefit of all the world until the rights and privileges of all the citizens have been Satisfied. The street-cars of Washington are run to accommodate the residents of Washington, while the great bulk af the traffic into and from the city over these self-appropriated streets is in the interest of the people of the country at large, and the corporations. The rights of the tax- payers of the city should be considered to be at least on @ parity with those of the patrons of the steam roads. If the street- car company is willing to halt its trains the other occupant of the streets, the steam road, should be willing to do as much, or, as the figures actually show, one-twentieth as much. Such arguments will help the cause of The Star and the citizens more than that of the railroads, and if others of a like nature are brought forth they may hasten the day when the Commissioners will see their way clear to an order compelling the trains to be stopped at all important street crossings. ——_~ ++ _____ Lynch Law in Ohio. Ohio is getting too warm for lynching parties. The Tiffin affair is the second of its kind within a few months and if mat- ters continue at such a pace mob-law will soon be unknown in the Buckeye state. It does not take many such examples of determined resistance by the officials like those at Washirgton Court House and Tif- fin to persuade would-be lynchers that it is really better to wait and let justice do business on her own account. It is a ques- tion whether the salutary effect of a suc- cessful opposition to the spirit of popular vengeance quite balances the decidedly dangerous influence of such exhibitions of brutal rage as marked the torture and death of the negro Ellis In Tennessee re- cently. But Ohio is doing nobly in main- taining a reputation for order and regard for the law, whatever may be the value of her example to the rest of the country. + ¢ = —__ ‘The work of raising funds to rebuild the University of Virginia should not be one of difficulty.

The Ruling Passion. “It's shameful,” said the near sighted man at the theater, “the way those society people in the box talk and talk and disturb people who want to enjoy the play.’ yd “Yes,” was the reply; “they do talk a good deal and pretty loudly, as a matter of habit. But they ain’t society peopie. They’re professional pugilists.” Before Election. Talk about your milk and honey! Come and catch the overflow!
