The chii-t oi police in Norfolk i-? making au effort to have the Hoard of Aldermen of city pass au ordinance forbidding the wile of weapons in all store* unless the purchaser has a permit from ih? police judge. An editorial, advocating this very thing for Washington, was car ried in this paper some time ag' >. The board of aldermen have til? power to pass au ordinance 10 this effect There have been a number of shooting scrape* in the city recently, especially anion*; 'he colored residents. Three-ffcurth* of the young toughs carry a jrun on their person. The practice is a dangerous one to society and why the alder men refuse to put at stop to it is moro than we know. Ir is true that the city derives several hundred dollars in tine?, a* punishment for carrying concealed weapons, and this may have some thing to do with the negligence nn the part of the citv official-2, in passing sucli an ordinance. It i? the only possible reason thai ?!=? discernible. The board will meet next Monday night and ??:? 11 rind n. more opportune time for considering this matter. We sincerely hope thai thoy will draw up? an ordinance, forbidding the pale of revolvers to all persons excepting those who have some good reason furVarryiftg weapons. January will l?e a month of sales. Probably all of ihe leading stores in Washington will conduct sales either next month or Feb ruary. I hose who understand rhe value of publicity are already arranging for their advertising space. They are the ones who are ??vtini: to do rhe large-' bnsine-is. The other- will -tick u sign up in trout of heir ?U?ret> and wait fur customer* to conn- in. When their sales close they wiE still 1* waiting.

Small haa boen dinning thai idea in the ears of deaf Congresses for lo. these many years. Ar. inland waterway fram Ma*?arhuM*ils to Florida would mean as much to the United States in case of threatened invasion at the Kiel canal does to Germany. Without that canal Eng land would long since have been in the Ftaltic and all the por'.s of Ger many would have been hermetically sealed. The war wr>uld have been, if not over, at least farther a'ong In the Allies' favor than it iy at pres ent Germany's great fleet would not have bad even the value that it po-. senses now.
