The fact la that thsaa particular
newspapers habitually and con
tinually and as a matter of bus*
lne»» practice every form of men
dacity Known to man. from tha
suppression of tha truth and tha
suggestion of tha false to the He
direct. Those who writ# or pro*

there onn be no lower form of
raining a livelihood. Whether
they are raid by outsider* to say
what In false, or whether th*lr
rront comes from tha circulation
of the falsehoods la a matter of
emaf consequence. It la utterly
ImpoaMble to attempt to answer
all of their falsehood*. When
*nv given falsehood Is exposed
they aimply repeat It and circu
late another. If they were mil-
taken in the faets. If they poa-
eeemr-d in their make-up any
ehred of honesty, It would be
worth while to act them right.
Hut there la no question et ell aa
to eny "mistake* or "misunder

untrue or could hy the slightest

nr* is the startling caption of a
vigorous and sensational editorial In

had soma inkling, but did not dream

It. The Sun says:
The President ha* always been
the first to denounce disorder'and

der by dynamite in Idaho or
"night riding" In Kentucky or
lynching In Tennessee; and yst in
the shadow of tha Capltnl women
are continually assaulted and
robbed by negro thugs, until tho
Impression hue gone abroad that
a white woman Is not sat* on the
streets of Washington.
Not only In the outskirts of tha
Capital have these crimes oc
curred, hut In the henrt of th#
best residence section women
have been attacked and robbed
repeatedly In the past few
months. They hav# been robbed
at th* vary doors of the loading
market: they have bean robbed
at the very entrance of their own
homes; they hav* been robbed at
th* vestibules of fashionable
apartment houses; they have been
robbed almost at tha vary gate"
of the Rrltleh embassy.
Mrs. Jennie Cooper and MIm
Mamie O’Connor were attaoked
by negroes and robbed Wednesday
night last. On Thursday night,
though ahe was escorted by nor
sick husband. Mrs. James Me-
Tnbb was robbed by a negro at

ner of Thirteenth and F atrertA

Marl* Cunningham was robbed.
Names, dates and Instances of

given, i
Thla la no new thing. For th#
pest three years these e*>aulti on
women, these robberies, have con
tinued. Now and then the pdTlc#
‘investigate." Now and then a
negro Is raptured and given a
small tine, and occasionally a
Judge Imposes a heavier sentence
on one of them, ltut the contin
uance of these crimes shows that
the police hav* completely failed
to oops with tha situation.
In nearly every Instance these
robberies Hava besn committed by
negroes. Washington If the par
adise of the negro, the Haiti of
tha United fltatea, and tha blacks
there demand and receive more
privilege* than they do tn any
other olty In th* country. They
aeem to be dealt with so leniently,
to be given euch remarkable con
sideration. that they not only
claim all rights and privileges,
hut regard themselves as Immune
from prosecution. What Is It that
palsies the arm of the police
power tn Washington whtn It Is
stretched forth to deal with the
negro thug? Do th* fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to tha
Constitution and the civil rights
Mil give the negroes the right In
th* Capital of the nation to as
sault and rob while women when
ever It pleasea them?
THE LIMIT OF HYPOCRISY.
The perenatal rot about the uspro
gressivenose and tha menace of the
Solid South,* which has of late ap
peared In larger tomes than over. Is
effectively disposed of by a Northern
newspaper, the Pittsburg Post, ai
fellows:
Republican newspaper* are de
voting much space to a discussion
of the (Solid South In terms any
thing but complimentary for Its
solidity. There Is to these stone-
throwers an utter assumed Of rest
consciousness of the /set that
they ore dwelling In glass houses.
Th# South Im solid and is likely
to remain so for reasons of self-
interest that «r* yet sufficient to
the Southerners. Why should
they be any more condemned or
ridiculed for voting uniformly one
way than Pennsylvania and the
unprogresstv* part of New Eng
land nut criticised for uniformly
voting th* other? It Is the limit
of hypocrisy to make flesh of one
and fish of the other. New Hamp
shire. Vermont and Pennsylvania
are eodden In Republicanism of
Its most corrupt type. Hsr* the
public nervier corporation frankly
and fully rules. Shall the people
who permit nnd endorse this sort
of thing, hugging the sordid
chains of sslf-Interest, be excused
and the South be condemned for
standing for something that to
them at least appears to be a good
deal higher and more necessary?
There fa more hope, progress and
public spirit perhaps everywhere
In the South than there la In that
part of New England that seem
ingly can always be counted upon
to give big Republican majorities.
no matter what the men or Issues
may be.
We trust that the exchange list of
the Pittsburg Post Is large and that
at least a few of the Pharisaical ed
itors who hsrp periodically on tha
Solid South" thorns have seen and
reflected upon this frank and sensible
utterance.

Of all tha comment on the
lately developed comradeship between
Roosevelt and Hearst, that of the

According to Inspector Stuart, the
attention of the postal authorities was
first directed to the myaterioua par
cels on October 11. when the eltlxen
whose namo Is withheld brought to
th© Inspector’s office a package ho had
received. Th© man said he suspected
fa to be an Infernal machine
nd h© stood nt a respectful distance
while Inspector Stuart opened It. The
contents proved to he a quantity of
small human bones, stained as though
they had been long underground, some
pieces of Iron and a note worded slm-
llarly to recent Black Hand missives.
The not# read aa follows:
"Not long ago w© sent you ci letter

Inspector Stuart put hla men on the

day a parcel addressed In tho same

orsd through tho mouth of Mr. Root
Utica a powerful denunciation of
Mr. Hearst, attempting to hold him
responsible for the assassination of
President McKinley (the most for
tunate thing that ever h&pponed for
Mr. Roosevelt), but slnoe that tlmd
Mr. Hearst has done much to vlndl
cate himself In the President's estt
matlon. He has obtained and' pub
llshed the damaging private let
ters of the vice-president oi
the Standard Oil Company to Sen
ator Foraker and other snemle* of the
Roosevelt administration, and hfc has
used his news paper# in New York,
Chicago, San Francisco and other
cities with much power against Mr.
Bryan, besides financing the Presi
dential campaign of another candi
date for the Pre#ldency, Mr. Hlsgen,
the Massachusetts petroleum dealer.
Even should It appear ultimately that
the oost of buying the Archbold let
ter# from the thieves who atola them
and the coet of the Independence
