Of course the most important feature of the report is that which refers to the need of a larger police force. This is a need to which The Star has had occasion to call at- tention on many occasions in the past. In Proportion to Its size ours is a fairly efi- cient force, but it does not compare favor- ably in point of numbers with those of other large cities throughout the United States. As Major Sylester points out in his report, during the earller years of the de- partment the greatest number of men pa- trolling the District of Columbia at any one time was one to each square mile or one to 1,072 population. At the present time when the needs are vastly greater the is printed el growth of the department has by no means kept pace with the growth of the city, so that now, while there are an average of two and a half patrolmen to each square mile, there is but one to each 1,600 popula- tion. On paper a force of 5 men looks quite formidable, but under the conditions which prevail and for which there seems to be no adequate relief in sight, so many are de- tailed for special duty, which does not properly belong to the force, that, taken in connection with those who are sick or on leave, there are as a rule not more than 350 men available for reserve and patrol duty. That the ferce fs entirely inadequate in the matter of numbers to properly patrol a territory as large as the District of Colum- bia is well known to every one who has occasion to traverse the less frequented sections after nightfall. The police of Washington are as Intelligent, and, as a rule, as courteous as the police of any city in the country, and the most important criticism that can be made upon the force is that it is not large enough. During his comparatively brief term of service at the head of the department Maj. Sylvester has managed to Impart to ft a good deal of his own energy and snap, and is developing its effictency systematically and steadily. In his estimate for the ‘year 10 Maj. Sylvester asks for an appropriation suf- fictent to provide two additional sergeants and two hundred privates. It s to be hoped that the Commissioners will not cut down this estimate a penny and that Congress wiil do what is reasonable ard right in the matter ard assent to the Increase. — For Good Roads, The good roads movement {a likely to re- celve a tremendous stimulus from the meetings of the National Road Parliament which is to be held at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition next month. All organizations and soctetles which are interested in the movement, from the League of American Wheelmen to the Patrons of Husbandry, have been fnvited to send delegates, and it is to be hoped that the attendance will be in proportion to the importance of the sub- Jects to be discus the compara- tively brief re has been concerted action to s an improvement in the condition of the roads throughout the United States a great deal has been ac- complished. The League of American Wheelmen has been emong the most active workers in this worthy cause. As a body it has agitated the matter persistently, while the individual members have for- warded the propaganda throughout the cities and villages in all sections of the United States. The agricultural element has been su i slow in waking up to a realization < » value of good road but the farmers everywhere are now begi ning to take a more active interest in the subject than ever before.

An excellent contribution upon the im- portant and absorbing topic of the day ap- pears in the current number of the Engi- In a long and well-digested neering News. editorial under the heading of “Typhoid Fever in the army,’ the News examines that question with fairness and ability, and arrives at a conclusion which is irresistible in the light of the facts presented. It is pointed out, in the first place, that all of the camps have been more or less infected, and consequently that the matter of site cannot of itself be accepted as ex- ning the appearance of the disease. At Chickamauga, where the camp was situ- ated on high ground and amid the most healthful surroundings; at Jacksonville, where a sandy soil and the sea air make life pleasant; near Washington here, in an open Virginia country famous for health, and at the Presidio, on the Pacific—at the one place as at the other—typhoid fever has appeared and made sad ravages among the troops. The News, therefore, dismisses the charge of camp sites selected ignorantly or through political influence as unworthy of consideration. S ‘ This, then, points to the management of the camps as the proper field for inquiry, and into that the News goes. In the first place, the troops were hur- ried to the camps from a distance, and on the way drank all sorts of water and doubtless carried germs of the fever with them. In the second place, they were offi- cered in the main by men without exper!- ence in making or regulating camps, and with scant knowledge of sanitary matters. As the News puts it, “Their minds were chiefly set on drilling their men into sol- diers. Those who were not so bent paid as little attention to the sanitary condi- tions of their men as to other duties.” The men themselves were Inexpertenced in such matters, They had come forward promptly at the country’s call, and from pursults whieh had given them no insight into the requirements of a situation fraught with more peril to them if neglected than a field of battle, Given, then, large bodies of men hurriedly collected from civil life, In charge of offi- cers inexperienced in the matter of camp sanitation, and not all of the surgeons In commission familar with eamp duties or developments, and you have all the condi- tions and material necessary for the devel- opment and propagation of disease. The News sums up in this wise: “We would emphasize the fact that the filness and deaths from typhoid in the army have been primarily due, not to the camp sites, as has been alleged, but to the neglect of simple sanitary precautions on the part of those in charge of the troops, chiefly through ignorance of thelr importance.” It is not an affront to the velunteer offi- cers, or to the men, to speak frankly as to facts. They came from civil walks—came promptly, bravely, and in response to the country's need. They had had no experi- ence, or in any case but little, in military matters. They did not know, and in cases were unfortunately slow about learning, what in the simple matter of health in camp {t was of vital importance for them to know. Many have paid the severest penalty for indiscretions and ignorance, and the country mourns their loss as sincerely as it does that of those who died in battle. Not a Campaign Insue. The democratic congressional committee has shown good Judgment in not making an issue of the management of the war. in {ts campaign book just issued the question of whether the war was properly conducted ts not discussed; the criticisms of the War Department and the many com- plaints of neglect of the sick or wounded soldiers that have been heard are not made the text of any chapter In the book. This is not only wise, but it indicates clearly enough that the far-sighted politicians who ere in charge of the work of the committee here foresée that the public fs not going to condemn the administration on account of the criticisms that have been heard. —— + «2 An investigation of army management cannot have results so startling as not to be a rellef from the harrowing pictures rumor has drawn. ———— The Agricultural Department's connection with the war will not assert ftvelf until the swords have been turned into plowshares. ——__—_ + 02 Col.

In their newly awakened interest in the regular army Americans should take off their hats to the memory of the late Cap- tain Allyn Capron. He was not a famous man, outside of army circles, at least. The opportunity had never come to him to daz- zie the public by some special act of brav- ery or of military skill. Long service had not brought to him high rank. But he performed faithfully the duties nearest to his hand, and in this he was a type of the plain, every-day regular army officers, the men without influence, patient and hard working, who have been steadily drilling and training our soldiers for the last quar- ter of a century and have brought them to that splendid state of efficiency which won its crowning triumph at Santiago. For Santiago was the triumph of the cap- tains and Heutenants of our regular army more truly than of the higher officers. —____+ + —____ Evasion of a Duty. From the New Yor Mail and Express, it is unfortunate that several of the gen- tlemen whom the President has invited to direct the proposed investigation should feel reluctant to accept the trust. None but the most urgent reasons can excuse any citizen for declining a commission which so directly concerns the honor of the army and the good repute of high military officials. The same sense of duty which impelled the clerk, the artisan or the farmer boy to surrender his work and en- list as a private soldier in defense of -he nation should command the prompt and cheerful co-operation of every man whom the President has invited to assist in the contemplated investigation of the army. ‘The gentlemen who have declined will be replaced by others equally capable. The inquiry will be pushed vigorously and re- lentlessly, and neither the President nor any intelligent observer of his course throughout the war has the slightest fear of the consequences.

Fall stuffs and’ wares of the most elegant sorts ever imported have accumulated here with great rapid- ity, and such a collection of strictly high-class merchandise was never attempted by any Washington firm before. Every style center of the old world was visited by the chiefs of several departments, whose only in- struction was to gather freely of the best.
