It 1s indeed remarkable that the police court finances should be so managed as to permit a defiett of over $5,000 to be created without suspicion being aroused. Williams seems to have been trusted tmplicitly, al- though his familiars and some of his su- perior officers knew of his loose habits and his fondness for gaming. There appeared to be no check upon him other than the necessities of the police and firemen’s relief fund, which of course needed replenishing from time to time from the moneys collect- ed by him, and occasionally the accounts were scruti ed by the District auditor, but at such long intervals that peculation 3 ed meanwhile. Since » were the only checks the collector was practically free from surveilla that he imp his te purse from the public funds is now evident P »s this costly episode will cirect remedial attention to the entire system of fiscal management at the lower courts. Visitors to those tribunals can not fail to be impressed with the unmethodizal haste and loc with which these finan- cial matters are managed, partly perhaps through necessity but largely, it is to be feared, through careless habits, and it is no wonder that there has been a leakage of serious proportions. The Commissioners and the police ju are engaged now in making an Investigation into these meth- ods that promises to secure the public funds against future encroachments. It should cover not only the specific duties cf collection but also the entire mode of hand- ling the fines in every branch of the work. There are several worthy objects supplied with Income from this source and they should be protected by a prompt appliza- tion of sound business principles. So far as the position occupied by Will- iams is concerned.certain remedial changes at once gest themselves. Appoint a collector who is not employed to perform police duty, bond him to the maximum of the funds ever to be heid by him at one time, and audit his accounts monthly. — see Work at the Gun-Sh It was at one time feared that through the apparent indifference of Congress the great gun shops of the navy located here would be largely. if not completely, closed n account of the lack of work, and there Was a prospect not so long ago that many prosperous mechanies would he thrown out of employment and forced to leave Wash- in search of a Ivelihood olsewhere. this unfortunate possibility nas . and now there is an imme- on hand that will -mploy the entire force for many months, ‘f not for eral years. The Navy Department should be thanked by the community for © work the foresight displayed in so handling the force during the months when the work w ck, owing to the of appro- priat as to retain practically all the hands. There were times when it might have been a matter of to reduce ree. but these in plant rtial dispersement of one corps of mechanic the best men were all ret: Present ovtlook is for pted continuation of well-paid work at this es- tablishment. — 2 Train Wrecking. There are too ¥ attempts at train wrecking in cinity. A few weeks ago Virginia roads were attacked, and now comes werd of an effort to derail an ex eursion train running to Bay Ridge Sun nt ought to follow th ture of the wretche: e cap- who thus seek to take human life by *, presumably for the ¢ of plunder. It is murder in the most us form when the attempt succeeds. is unfortunately an easy chance for such dastardly work, for the average rail- road line runs through so many varieties through woods, cuts and un- ions, that often the lack of alone stands between the -cker and the accomplishment of his purpose. The railroad companies should seek to afford a certain degree of additional rity to an already hazardous mode of by organizing more perfect track patrols, for tt can not be that all future attempts to wreck trains made in this Vicinity will fail as have those of recent occurrence. Doubtless the courts will grant the most ampie punishment to ail who are found thus engaged, and a few executions of severe sentences would have a@ wholeseme effec elligence A crowds who go to hear Bryan speak may think of his fitness for pre ilities, there is no deubt that they consider him good com- pany. Whatever the oe There can be no doubt of ex-Seeretary Smith's wisdom in declining to lay him- self open to the charge of offensive parti- sanship. oe East and West. It is to be regretted that Senator Teller, who is always heard with respect and at- tention, appears to have Joined those men bent upon giving to the present campaign @ sectional turn and significance. He has taken the stump at home, and repels with warmth observations which, somewhere, by somebody, have been made in deroga- tion of the west. The effect of such a speech at this time before a western audi- ence will necessarily be to fasten the ob- jectionable observations on the east, and still further inflame the sectional spirit already too much, and unnecessarily, aroused. Mr. Teller ought to know, and ought to teach his people, that, as a matter of fact, the real feeling of the east for the west fs that of hearty good will and admiration. It could not be otherwise. As Speaker Reed recently so eloquently stated, the west Is the child of the east. givon of its sturdiest and its best to m the west. Mr. Teller is himself fro: east—a native of New York, while his league, Mr. Wolcott—ranking with the yt The east has | : THE:, EVENING STAR, TUESDAY,.:SEPTEMBER. 1, brilliant men of the day—is a native of Massachusetts. All through the west the blood of the east fs found, and found in the high and useful places—in the pulpit, at the bar, in journalism, on the bench, in mining enterprises, behind the counter and con- trolling the transportation. How, then, is it possible for any thinking man in the east whose words are worth repeating to speak ef the west except in terms of. praise? A slighting word would be an affront to him- self. If the unthinking man is to be quoted— and he is not worth quoting anywhere—he may be found in the west slurring the east as in the east slurring the west. The cow- boy living in the saddle, and looking at life through the loop of his lasso, sets .down the east as a tenderfoot and scorns the creature, while the eastern dawdler, who affects foreign manners and customs, and is at best but a gilded loafer, sets the west down as a cowboy and scorns him. But the cowboy no more represents the char- acter and courage and ability which have made the west a splendid empire than the effeminate aper in the east represents the sturdy qualities from which the western avalities are descended. The representa- tive men of either section have every rea- son to respect their brethren of the other and do respect them. Any other feeling weuld be discreditable to the party enter- taining it. It will be a strange thing if the west in this campaign should be arrayed at the polls against the republican party. The west in the matter of statehood owes every- thing to that party. It has been raised from territorial hindrances to the enjoy- ment of its present dignity and independ- ence by the republican party. Mr. Teller himself assisted in much of the work, and has made more than one successful cam- paign at home on the strength of the party's record of friendship for the w And, more than that, every line of legisla- tion favorable to silver as part of the cir- culating medium which has gone upon the books in the last twenty years has been placed there by republican votes. Truly, the present is in every way an ex- traordinary campaign. Alliances of the strangest character are formed. Men who in the past have fought cach other on the highest and gravest of public issues are now touching shoulders, some for and others against silver, and ready to part company and turn upon each other again as soon as the silver question is settled. > ¢ The End of the World. Thirty-three yea German Raptist minister named i had a vision that convinced him that the world would come tc an end September 2, 1896. ‘Tom row is that date and now in New York city the few followers of the strange faith founded upon this prophecy are pre- paring to ascend to the great joy t awaits the true believers in the doc- trines of the Christian Apostolic Church. This little band of millenialists is led by an enthvuiast from Germany, Stutzke by name, who has persuaded many of them to abandon all thought for their material future and he has even preached mothers into the belief that they are justi- fled under the peculiar doctrine of their sect ii leaving their little ones to the mis- erable fate that is supposed to await all who do mot prepare for the end. The main point of debate with the believers is whether or not they will wear robes. It ts a long time since there has been a genuine ascen- sion day excitement and doubtless an un- pleasant experience awaits the few score of in enthusiasts who will assemble Square tomcrrow morning. ——_ +e It looks as if the patrons of policy might find some new combinations with which to tempt fortune in the future by taking notes of the number of months included in the various sentences or the number of dollars called for by fines. ———_ ee One of the possible difficulties about se- lecting a candidate at Indianapolis is that the convention may not be sufficiently large in numbers to get up either an im- pressive stampede or a bolt. ——_+e+___ Some old-fashioned, out-of-date orator who insisted on waving the bloody shirt might, after all, be a relief from the mo- notonies which are gathering in the argu- ments over silver and gold. —— Mr. Watson cannot be blamed for resent- ing insinuations to the effect that he has been nominated and does not know it. —— Only one hundred and forty men were at work today on the city post-cffice building. —_—___ + ¢e—___ SHOOTING Union STARS.

There are songs of every season, from the posy-jeweled spring To the frosty nights of winter when the crickets cease to sing, And each is fondly welcomed as the land- scape’s shifting hue Proclaims that we must change our joys for others that are new.
