which faces their constituents at home.
No statesman has arisen among them

that no other country has known.
What protection did they offer to the
Hodgea family, or to the little girl now
dying at CednrtoWn? None. No effort
to give any, more than n sleeping sher

Every criminally Inclined person,
white, or black, or brown, In Georgia,
ought to be weighted down with the
fear that If he attempts a revolting
crime the rural police may be upon him
at any moment to bear him down, and
to rescue unharmed the would-hs vic
tim. It would lie'a wholesome thing for
such brutes to feel unsafe in Georgia—
not so much after the crime Is com
mitted, but before It. What is there
outside of the Incorporated towns and
cities of this state to make them
afraid? There Is no answer.

IF NOT A RURAL CONSTABULARY
—WHAT?
The Nashville Banner states The Tel
egraph's position In regard to a rural
constabulary correctly, and it quotes
fairy from our remarks giving the rea
sons why we favor a revival of the old
patrol system under legal restraints
n nd guidance; but It concludes that we
nre wrong about It; that a rural police
would incite greater violation of law
by the criminal classes.
If the conclusions of the Banner are
correct, then by a parity of reasoning
sheriff poaaea are bad, and police regu
lations In our titles are A mistake.
To us It seems a strange commentary
on tb# police arm of the law to say that
It U provocative of crime. It Is a new
doctrine to say that the beat way to
d«*«l with the crlmsa of rape, murder,
robbery and arson Is to give a free
band on the highways and In the
hedges to ths red-hsnded destroysrs of
life, property and chastity, except such
resistance ai the unarmed man, or the
defenseless woman or ehild can offer—
physical resistance to brut# force!
We do not subscribe to that doctrine.
We do not believe that the pollcemnn'a
club la a failure. We do not bellevs that
the school, or the church, or that moral
mission can move the lower criminal
rlnssrs. There Is no rsschlng them ex-
cept by an appeal to their fear. And
their only fear la of physical suffering.
They have no conscience, except the
instinct of brutes; no Inward torture.
Remorse Is na unknown to them as
gratitude. They havs no religious con
victions; no fear of hell. Punishment
after death for "the deeds done In the
body*' restrains them no more than the
chimes in a cathedral dome reetratn
the ox when moved to gore. The does
of criminals that puts civilisation to
its severest test—that arouses the mob
spirit In men. and overturns the very
temples of Justice—can be reached only
on their own plane—the plane of brute

among us who are worthy represents

wish God-speed. They are doing a good

THE CZAR'S GRATITUDE.
The Russian people have reason to
bless the day that brought an heir to
the throne, for the Czar haa algnallzed
tha event by doing great things for
subjects. While all monarcha on oc
casion Indulge themselves In the use
th* royal prerogative to Matter
benefits by way of celebration, Nicholas,
the present Instance haa been es
pecially lavish. Ha haa abolished cor
poral punishment among the rural
classes and for first offenses among
sea and land force*. Ha haa remitted
arrears for the purchase ot land and
other direct Imports. Aa much as he
needs money at thla time he haa set
apart 11,500,000 from the treoaury for
the purpose of forming an Inalienable
fund for the benefit of the landless.
haa remitted the fines Imposed
upon th* rural and urban communes
Finland, which refused to submit
military conscription In 1902 and
1001 and haa also remitted the fine*
Imposed on the Jewish communes in
the esses of Jews avoiding military
anrvlce. He ordera a general reduc
tion In sentences for common law of,
femes, while a general amnesty li
accorded In the cases ot all political
prisoners with the exception of those
which murder has been done.
Borne of these remissions Indicate
that there Is still much of the barbnrlc
woven Into the fabric of Ruaalan life.
Great Britain abolished the uae of the
cat In the army and navy many yearn

TOPICS OF THE TIMES.
His Papers Are Making Much of the
Populists—Exploits Tom Watson.
Th* Washington Star of yesterday
afternoon aaya: Is Sir. William R.
Hearst contemplating swinging hla
string of Influential paper, nnd hla un
doubted following In Western and
Bouthern states Into open advocacy of
the Popullat national ticket? Thla is
quest Ion which has been asked more
than once In th* past two week*, but
which la brought Immediately Into
prominence by the course of The New
York American yesterday and today.
Yesterday Tha American editorially
called upon all Its render* of tho true
fnlth to attend the Populist notlflca-
tlon meeting at Cooper Union last
night and In ndvance paid high tribute
of rospect and admiration to the head
of the Popullat ticket. Tom Watson.
That publication was not overlooked
In political clrcleB.
Today, however. The American's
course lx deemed to be a great deal
more significant. It devotes a page
to the report of Tom Watson's speech
nnd plays up, in black faced type, his
most biting denunciation of the regu
lar Democratic party.
The Introduction to the article to
day Is almost fulsome In Its praise of
the Populist candidate. All the way
through there I* studied attempt to
draw publlo attention to the part* of
Watson’* speech which bear most
henvlly upon tha Democratic party
nnd that chnrge It ls In the control
of Wall Street and the trusts. The
name stress Is also laid upon Watsons
allegation that*there la little choice
In the end between Democrats and
Republican* and that the recourse of
th# true friends of the people la In
the Popullat party.
Tho present course of Tho American
and the political possibilities which
v’ould attend Mr. Hearst's flop to tho
Popullat camp were the absorbing
topics among all politician* here to
day. There waa no one In Washing-
ton who could predict that Mr. H**™*
contemplate* Indorsing the Popullat*.
however.
One theory advanced, which bad a
good many takers, wa. that Mr.
Hearst may be serving notice upon
th# Democrats that unless Judge Par
ker's letter of acceptance takes a
more radical ton* thnn Ma recent
speech of acceptance, he must look
out for a holt from the radical Demo
crats. If Mr. Hearst should quit the
Democratic party. It won thought that
hr would take the step after the let
ter of acceptance la made public.
It I* suld by politician* today that
the defection of Mr. Hearst nnd hla
newspapers would have grave conse
quences to the Democratic party In the
cities of New York and Chicago, nnd In
the Industrial towne where the Social
ist nnd rnpullat vote la strong, aa It
would divert to an Independent ticket
th# vote which h# might command and
whlctv otherwise the Democratic tick
et could hop# to aecur#. Romo Republi
can* aald that If Mr. Haarat bolted It
would certainly make Cook county Re
publican and assure a gnln of two Re
publican representative* in Congreaa
from Chicago. ^
It la well known, of course, thnt Mr.
Hearst haa every reason to feel per
sonally resentful toward the manage
ment of the Democratic party for tht
hnrsh treatment nccoyded him by David
B. Hill at the Albany convention last
April and the complete Ignoring of the
Hearst faction* at 8t. Lout*. It la
true that Judge Parker, after hia nomi
nation. made a tender of the olive
branch to Mr. Hearst nnd Invited him
to Esopus, but Mr. Hearst haa not yet
accepted the Invitation.
Against the theory that Mr. Hearst
Is contemplating a bolt la the assurance
which he gave before the Bt. Louis
convention that he would not bolt
and the repetition of thnt aaaurance In
hla telegram to Judge Parker nfter the
convention announcing hla Intention lo
support the ticket.
In view of those fadta It la a little
rustling to the politicians to construe
the courae of hla newspaper In playing
up in black-face type the roasting
which was given hla party by a Popu
list. Following are eome of the dls
played paragraphs of Mr. Tom Wnt-
son’a speech. A fuller account of the
speech Is publlshtd elsewhere In The
Star. The first displaced paragraph is
this:
. "While both the old political parties
pretend to devote themaelvea to the
Interests of the common people, they
are both financed by Wall street both
dominated by Wall street, both the
willing and thq servile tool* of Wall
street.’*
A little further on* after a tribute
to Roosevelt aa a man, the following
la displayed:
"No matter how bad you and I may
thinks its creed la. w# art bound to ad
mit that the Republican party haa a
creed, ia willing to light for It I* well
ing to cling to it In defeat and coivtlnue
to struggle for It until victory comes
again. But why human being should.
In the year 1901. vote the national
Democratic ticket, ia something that
taaea my untutored comprehension.”
