6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY -May 6, 1896. CROSBY 8S. NOYES................Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined eir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7m order to avoid delnys, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Increase the Police Force. ‘The murder of Elsie Kregio is testimony— written in blood—to the insufficiency of our police force. That insufficiency is contin- ually apparent, even within the old city limits, and now the truth as to this weak- ness In the suburbs {s made conspicuous. That the murderer is known and may be by this time in the hands of the authorities dces not alter the situation; the police force is too small to watch over such a compara- tively extensive area. It is an unassailable fact that a large proportion of this great government reservation is practically with- cut police protection of any kind; a lament- able condition, which will speedily become apparent to any one who wanders through the city’s outskirts either on pleasure bent or in search of an officer of the law. Oc- casionally, and then accidentally, mounted officers have made opportune appearance, but so infrequently as to offer to the la’ less reasonable hope of uninterrupted mis- conduct. There is a regular system of patrol covering the principal highways, but the passing of the blue-clad horseman is not a deterrent; between the times—once or twice in a day—there is ample season for criminals to work their pleasure. The paths in our suburban parks are un- trod by policemen, although those byeways are generally used by a number of pedes- trians who find in the shady trails an afflu- ence of botanical delight not to be enjoyed by those who never leave the broader and more frequented reads. It has been sug- wested that the beautiful suburban walks and drives be forsaken by all who do not deem themselves capable of defending their persons from prospective assault; that the Joys of our woodland, of our grassy slopes and of the valleys in which the streams make sweet music, be untasted by a large proportion of the pecple of Washington be- cause there is possibility of robbery, of as- sault and of murder in those places. This suggestion involves the exile of the inno- cent from the rural sections of the Dis- trict Instead of their protection there through the expulsion of the criminal, and assumes that the scene of a crime must be surrendered to criminals. It might quite as logically be Insisted that the Wesley Hall iurder—still a mystery—warns men and women not to remain within their homes. In the Hall case the victim was seated in his workshop, rear the street and within a few feet of a police station, when the assassin took away his life; his loc: tion ard all the circumstances attendant upon the crime seemed to offer the unfor- tunate shoemaker sufficient security, yet he was killed and the murderer is at large. ‘The statistically-inclined could easily show how much greater is the danger of those who remain indoors than is the peril of those who ride or walk on our suburban roads, but it would be much better to put the energy that would thus be wasted into an endeavor ts bring about immediate in- crease of cur police force, so that it shall no longer be possible for criminals to cal- culate upon the absence of those upon whom: the people lean for safety. If every man on the rolls of the police de- partment was engaged in street duty, the force would still be too weak; with about one-fifth of the total number on Jetached service and on report, the force is dis- gracefully inadequate, so far as its propor- tions go. It is unquestionably proper to furnish complete police Protection to the Executive Mansion, and to him who is its principal occupant, but the number of offi- cers needed for that duty should not come from a department as weak as our folice cefartment is. There is no reason worth talking about why the White House and | its grounds, as well as the President him- self, should not be guarded by detachments of troops. There is a cavalry garrison at Fort Myer, an artillery garrison at the Washington Barracks, and there are ma- Tines at the Navy Yard; why may not a sufficient number of either one or other, or all, of these arms of the service be re- quired to relieve the police force of a strain which is being seriously felt? The District Commissioners will be ear- nestly supported In any move they may make to bring about immediate Increase in the numerical strength of the force. When that has been done, it will be in order to suggest the possibility of greater efficiency. —————~+ ++ ___ Representative Dingley moves that Con- gress adjourn on the 18th instant. Sena- tor Morgan moves that Cuban belligerency be recognized. It may be possible, of urse, for the Cuban joint resolution to reach a vote before the date named by Mr. Dingley, but in view of the opposition made and threatened by Senator Hale the chances are that the Cuban question will, of itself, be sufficient to overthrow the early ad- journment program. ————— Those In authority on the new city post- office building say that today there are ore hundred and five men—only one hun- dred and five—at work on the structure. Cor pletion is promised before the close of 1897, but it will take more than one hun- dred and five thoroughly competent arti- sans to make that promise good. ——— Ex-President Harrison has put himself on record In a manner which permits him to complacently allow events to take their course. His boom is not of his own manu- facture, and he cannot be called on for any guarantees. —_+ +. __ ‘The Spanish army will have no ground for complaining that they were not noti- fied by the insurgents that Cuba is far from being an ideal summer resort. —- += Thete is not much room for speculation on the action of the A. P. A. beyond the statement that whatever it does is likely to be a surprise. —_~+-+___ President Kruger’s achievements afford a reminder that it is not only unfair but » to Judge a man by his whiskers. ——__- += ___ The Public Revenues. ‘The debates on the appropriation bills in the Senate are forecasting certain features of the coming debates on the stump. Mr. Gorman, pointing to the sum of the supply bills, lectures the republicans on what he characterizes as reckless extravagance. The Treasury, he reminds them, is empty and the receipts are running behind. An enormous deficit yawns before them. And yet they are piling up the figures as high as the sky. Mr. Gorman, with a fine profes- sional air, and an eye on the campaign, shudders at the exhibition. Mr. Sherman replies to Mr. Gorman. He points to the Wilson bill, upon which the gcvernment is forced to lean for its rev- enue. Who is responsible for that? he asks. It is a failure as a revenue-producer, he agrees. It ought to be repealed, he says— ought, at least, to be amended. The govern- ment should have more money, and should recefve it promptly. But who stands in the way of this? he asks. Pressing the point, he holds up the Dingley bill, estimated to carry fifty millions of revenue, and demands to know why Mr. Gorman and his friends prevent its passage. Enact that into law, and the situation, he declares, will be greatly relieved. It is safe to say, and comfortitig to believe, that, in the end, the people will see this mat- ter in its proper light. The duty of the party in power in Congress is to provide for the proper support of the government. This is as true of one party as of another. Any party raised to power that neglected so plain a duty would deserve and receive the swift condemnation of the people. If the money Is not in the Treasury, the future must be drawn against. A goverrment, like an individual, or a corporation, should have necessary money on hand to meet all obliga- tions; but when, for any reason, receipts temporarily are short, the government, the individual, or a corporation, never neglects to keep up the value of investments, or to provide for proper support. A good credit is invoked until the difficulty can be ar- ranged. In the matter of the government's rev- enues, it is an absvluts cariainty that the next Congress will adjust them to the gov- ernment’s needs. This does not depend on the success of either party at the polls in November. There is no dispute over the proposition that the Wilson bill as it stands is unequal to the task impos2d upon it. It does not raise money enough. The demo- crats themselves, therefore, if an unexpected turn in the tide should restore them to power in Congress, will be obliged to ma- terially strengthen their work row on the statute books. A new bill to take the place of the Wilson bill wil! have to be drafted, to correct inequalities and deficiencies now as frankly conceded as freely charged. If this work falls to the republicans, ag now seems likely, it will be done with a thoroughness which will leave rothing to be desired co far as raising money enough is concerned. A tariff bill, drafted upon lines which have heretofore filled the Treasury, will be promptly passed and enforced, and money enough will be raised by it not only to support the government, but make good all deficienvies, it is a most promising future, therefore, against which this Congress is drawing. There ts no risk whatever about it, nor any- thing that, from a business standpoint, calls for rebuke. Congress would only deserve censure for failing to do what—under pres- sure, it must be admitted—it is now doing. —_———_+-=+____ Baltimore and Ohio Reform. Interesting news as to the Washington end of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is that which The Star today presents to its readers. For many years the Baltimore and Ohio representatives have talked vaguely about the abolition of grade cross- ings and the erection of a station that would be creditable as to appearance and appointments, but the rumor8 never ap- proached materialization and until lately they were not accorded any semblance of respect by a majority of those who under- stood railroad methods when legislation was in prospect. It now appears that the Baltimore and Ohio Company is willing and ready to do that which this community has been pleading for; the plans are made plain in the. news columns of The Star. Of course the propositions made by the company will meet with opposition—the idea of two Via- ducts is certain to arouse those who are of the opinien that one viaduct woild “be much better for the public—but # sinoere effort on the part of the road to solve the grade-crossings problem will doubtless re- sult in a reasonable agreement concerning the details of viaduct construction. The facts to be borne principally in mind are that much of Northeast: Washington is now cut off from the major portion of the city by steam-railroad tracks at grade and that it is proposed to unite Northeast Washing- ton with Northwest Washington by :put- ting the tracks up on solid masonry via- Guets under which the business of the streets may proceed without interruption. Now that the Senate District Sub-commit- tee and the District Commissioners have a thorough understanding of the Baltimore and Ohio Company’s plans it is fair to pre- sume that the company will, ere the close of this session, be given legislative per- mission to go ahead with the reform upon lines satisfactory both to the public and the railroad. ——__++-_. Major McKinley's opinions on the money question have not progressed much beyond a conviction that it is quite secondary, not to say superfiuous, compared to the tariff. ————_+ > __ Mr. Teller would have some show of rignt in making the claim that Mr, Tillman’s se- cession performance was an imitation of his original act. ———. + e+ ___ The fate of the late Shah of Persia is now making the Sultan of Turkey wish that he did not have quite so much on his conscience. SHOOTING STARS. The Crush of Business. “Have you found a clue to the horrible murder?” asked the casual inquirer. “No,” replied the officer; “nothing new. But,” and his bosom swelled with the pride which comes of duty done. “I've arrested seventeen people for riding bicycles without their lamps Hit, two for having bells so big as to book like jokes on the Commis- stoners, and three boys for playing ball in the streets.” “Bui you'll get around to it pretty soon, won't you?” “M’yes. I hope so. Though, we'll be kept terribly busy pretty soon looking after the dogs that haven't tags.” The Candidate, “My modesty,” he cried, To give ambition room; For he who spares the lightning rod Mayhap will spoil the boom.” What He Feared. The politician walked Into the study of the professor of mathematics. “I don’t often have occasion to call upon you gentlemen of science,” he remarked, “but I feel somewhat worried, and I want you to tell me just what the situation is. to iet me know the worst.” “Til crowd “You are used to counting up to millions and billions and trillions?” “I very frequently handle such figures.” “Well, what I want to know is this: Do you ever get to a place where our numer- al system fails you; where the numbers get so big that you have to give up and confess that you can’t count 'em?”" “No; never.” “Sure of that?” “Perfectly.” “Well, you've relieved my mind tre- mendously, and I am ever so much obliged to you. I was scared to death for fear I would get to a place where I'd get tied up and have to stop the preliminary unofficial count of votes for my candidate.’ Her Bicycle Bell. : “Every wheel must have a bell,” Said the council grim; < Then with apprehensive grief Maggie's eyes grew dim. “Curfew shall not ring tomght!’ Thoughtfully she sald, As she gazed upon the tower, Rising overhead. Then she climbed the ladder high— She was out of sight— “Curfew,” once more she exclaimed, “Shall not ring tonight.” Doleful and demontac sounds, Spoiling slumber sweet, After dark, the council heard, Clanking down the street. And they cried, “What disrespect! Who e’er saw the like! Moggle’s got that curfew bell . And hung it to her bike!” Se THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1896—-SIXTEEN PAGES.
