SS Bright Hopes for Alexandria County. In response to the appeal of Washington and of the law-abiding citizens of Alex- andria county Virginia has now intervened with vigor and determination to obliterate “the curse-spot” just across the Potomac. It will be seen from the extracts from Gov. O'Ferrall’s letter published in The Star today that he has been earnest and persistent in his long-ago expressed inten- tion to rid Alexandria county of the gam- bling evils so long besetting it. Saturday’s raid was no spasmodic act, forced upon him by the exigencies of the moment, but the result of a deliberate and carefully con- ceived plan and the beginning of a syste- matic and thoroughly digested campaign. It will be seen that even the delay and sup- posed inaction attributed to him were part of a project to allay the suspicions of the gamblers themselves and make them easy of capture when the proper time came. That Gov. O'’Ferrall will not cease now in the good work so energeticaily begun is evident to everyone who is familiar with his utterances and his determined character. ‘The eradication of gambling and its kindred vices from the country across the river will not only be of vast moral bene- fit to Washington, but will open up a splendid territory eminently well adapted for homes, which has hitherto been forbid- den ground by reason of the dangerous and disgraceful approaches to it. There has been a decided improvement in the manner in which the county itself has of late han- dled these evil conditions, Virginia has now openly accepted the responsibility and un- dertaken the task of reformirg them, and it is evident that Gov. O'Ferrall will seek from the incoming Virginia legislature addi- tional enactments to enable him to perform thoroughly his cleansing labors. Altogether, the future is full of bright hope for Alex- andria county, naturally one of the most at- tractive suburbs of Washington. ——__< +2 Ex-Gov. Shepherd's Reception. There will undoubtedly be a great out- pouring of people Thursday night on the ceeasion ef the public reception to ex- Governor Shepherd on his return to this city from Europe. The plans for this event are well advanced ard the preparations are progressing ir a way that shows the hearty spirit of welcome felt by those in charge. Washingtcnians of today have every reason to feel grateful to the man whose labors resulted so happily for their present comfort and for the beauty and material welfare of the capital, and this is the first opportunity for many years for them to express themselves. The visit paid by Mr. Shepherd in July was so brief that the cltizeas had no chance to do more than to oxtend their individual greetings to him, but the appropriateness of a public wel- come was then suggested and became at once apparent. The board of trade is the proper medium for showing this courtesy to the man who of all the world has done the most to make the national capital a modern city, as among Its members are a majority of the business men who know from actual observation and experience the great value of the work performed by him. The later comer sees the results of this labor, performed amid the greatest obsta- cles and under the fire of the bitterest crit- ieism, yet all done with an eye single to the future welfare of the city whose mag- nificence and whose prospects today make @ memorial that will last forever. —___ + «+ — ——_ While many people believe that the Ed- munds act against polygamy and its kindred evils was not intended in the be- ginning to apply to the District of Colum- bia, yet the action of the Court of Appeals yesterday settled the question in the affirmative and placed in the hands of the police and the courts an instrument that, if judiciously utilized, may be made io bet- ter the moral condition of the city to an appreciable extent. As Chief Justice Alvey well said in his opinion, offences against morality and public decency are not the less proper subjects of prevention and punishment by law in this District than in the territories or other places over which the United States has exclusive jurisdic- tion. —___+ +—____. Chicago is requiring every person found down town late at night to give an ac- count of himself. The officers enforcing this rvle are in citizens’ clothes. It is pre- sumed that ample precautions have been taken against two of these civilian-garbed autocrats getting together and demanding explanations of each other. Such an en- counter would be almost sure to develop a tragedy. —_____+ e-=—__—__ President Cleveland may in the next twenty-four hours acquire some more defi- nite convictions on the subject of a third term than he has hitherto entertained. ———_ e = __ It is now understood why Mr. Sherman got the reputation of being a cold man among the newspaper interviewers. He was saving it all up for his book. ——__ + «= The President's call to the public to “fore- go our usual occupations” on November 25 has led to a belief that there will be less fishing on that day than usual. —_—__ += _____ Some time their friends will forget to hold to the coat-tails of these would-be pugilists and duellists, and then there may be trouble. a It remains to be seen whether Mr. Gor- man will continue to sing “My Maryland” with the accent on the personal possessive. —___+«+— Mr. Holman continues to keep one eye on the country’s expense account. It doesn’t hurt the country any, and it amuses him. —___e=__ ‘There were but sixty men at work today on the city post office. ——__+ «= Editing the Annual Reports. Army officers are represented in some quarters as protesting against the action of Secretary Lamont in editing the annual re- ports submitted to him by bureau chiefs and others whose yearly routine of duty includes no more important function than the sub- mission of these dreary documents. The casual reader of governmental literature has long ago concluded that the annual products of the press are largely superfluous, and there has more than once been a plea heard for le verbosity, fewer “recommenda- tions,’ more condensation and more editing. Indeed, The Star has in times past urged the appointment of a government editor, whose duty it should be to reduce the tre- s volume of printed matter that is ground out year after year to mould and gather dust on neglected shelv nd to be finally sold as junk, and, perc 2, tran: formed into wall paper or paste-board b It is probably true that not one ann’ port out of twenty trom a less source than the head of a departinent is ever read ja print after the.newspapers have given their summarizing abstracts. Secretary Lamont, with the true conception of a newspaper man for what constitutes a readable docu- ment, has but egercised his legitimate priv- ilege, and has doubtiess saved many dollars and much library space by reducing the bulk of his subordinates’ essays. Perhaps it is true, as some of his critics suggest, that he has suppressed important recommenda- tions, but a majority of these ideas are re- iterations, and in but few cases are they practicable. The Secretary is the one to whom Congress looks for suggestions for the improvement of the military service, and not the small bureau officers whose reports are only intended to guide the chief in his an- nual presentation. Secretary Herbert, too, has come to the same conclusion, and while he has not been as free with the blue pencil, it is said, as his colleague, he has inaugurated excellent reform by requesting all his chiefs to refrain from writing about matters that do not con- stitute a record of the year’s progress and action, which is the true and proper func- tion of a report.of this character. Recom- mendations and suggestions, he declares, should take the form of special letters, thus ensuring to the bureau chief that modicum of popular credit that is undoubtedly his due, and that was presumably the main in- spiration of a majority of the printed pages of the past. ——__+ + + —__- The Day of Balloting. Well, this is election day, and once again the people of the states are balloting for this, that and the other principle and all scrts and conditions of men who have been placed in nomination by different parties. Orce a year the ballot box is opened in different places, and as a rule the elections progress quietly and with far less friction between the partisans than was formerly the rule. The business of refcrm in the great cities has been actively taken up by intelligent men so that although there is probably today more or less fraud« being practiced in the way of repeating, illegal veting and kindred tricks, yet there is every reason to believe that the elections are clearer on account of the close scrutiny exercised by citizens whose hope is to purify the government of the cities and the methods of electing their officials. In the early hours of electicn day the chief con- sideration is usually meteorological, and the weether reports are clesely scanned for hh dications of the prevalence of “republican weather” or the reverse. Incidentally it is a reproach to the enterprise of the road makers of the country that the weather should have any decided effect upon elec- tices, but that is another matter. Today the weather map would seem to give what is generally frown as a “stand-off” in this regard, and there is no very bad climatic it fluence being exercised in any section of the country. Whatever the weather and watever the results, The Star is ready as usual to keep its thousands of readers ac- curately informed of the progress of the fight that is now under way in fifteen of the states, and its bulletins tonight and its extra issues will be prompt, reliable and as interesting as the voters in other parts of the country manage to make the tidings. * —__~es__ The country lost a true poet by the death of Eugene Field.

A Kentucky Dialogue. “The colonel is a hearty, bluff fellow,” said one constituent. “Yes,” replied his friend of opposite po- litical faith, “but I think we've called his bluff this election.” An Ambitious Hope.

Seathing. “The plagiarism in this story of yours,’”” said the editor, ‘is something shocking.” “y—you don’t usually mind that sort of thing,” was the reply. “I don’t—if you'll only plagiarize good ma- terial. Why, much of this nonsense might as well be original!’ She Didn’t Understand Slang. She was visiting at the house of the emi- nent politician. “I hear,” she sald, “that you have had a valuable addition to your art collection.” “My art collection?” he repeated. “Yes, I take it for granted that you must have one.” “I have ever striven, madam, to cultivate an appreciation of the beautiful.” “And wasn't it beautiful in the voters to remember you as they did?’ “J—I don’t quite follow you, ma'am,” said the eminent politician, growing red in the face. “Why, I was told that they gave you a beautiful marble-heart, and I am just dying to see it.” The Army at the Polls. Don’t you hear the feet a-tramping? Don’t you hear the steady tread Of the voters, marching, marching, where the nation’s flag is spread? No bugle note is sounding; not a drum gives forth its beat, But they're keeping time to Progress, are these ever-restless feet. Our boys are ‘neath the banner of morality and mind, And they'll save this grahd old country for the glory of mankind. You'll listen all In vain to hear the cannon’s sullen boom; As they come a-marching, marching, to avert corruption’s doom. No rifle-bullet hurries, with its message fierce and shrill, But the nation stands expectant, and it feels the battle thrill. For hearts and souls and intellects a com- mon foeman find— And they’ll save this grand old country for the glory of mankind. —_-_ + «+. Wants to Be Coaxed.

Patterson, the publisher of Newspaperdom, says that it is not often that he gets so enthusiastic as he does over Ripans Tabules. Almost with the regularity of clockwork he used to feel, at about eleven o'clock, that something had gone wrong with his breakfast; especially was this true if he had had a restless night, as is no uncommon thing with headworkers. “My stomach,” said Mr. Patterson, “is under the standard as to strength, and it seems at these times to act only indifferently, and finally to stop. Clouds come before my vision and a slight nausea is felt. Then I reach out for my Ripans. (Years of the sort of thing related have made me know the symptoms as well as my name.) Down goes one of the blessed little concentrated boons, and in a few minutes the visual clouds lift, discomfort passes away, stomach apparently resumes operations, and at 12:30 or 1 o'clock I go out for my usual rather hearty luncheon—all in delightful contrast with my former practically ruined afternoons—that I sought to escape by fasting and various doses.” Ripars Tabules are sold by druggists, or by mail f the price G0 cents a box) Is sent to the Bipans Chemical Company, No. 10 Spruce st., New York.
