"Shall Negro Thugs Rule Washing- nr* is the startling caption of a vigorous and sensational editorial In th* conservative Raltlmor* Run on subject concerning which we hav had soma inkling, but did not dream 1*. was a* bad as* the Hun represents It. The Sun says: The President ha* always been the first to denounce disorder'and lawlessness In th* rest of th* country, whether It has been mur 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 h: SO p. m., near Fourteenth and T streets northwest. Th# earn* night at » o’clock, near th# cor ner of Thirteenth and F atrertA In the vary heart of th* olty. Mis* Marl* Cunningham was robbed. Names, dates and Instances of scorea of such crime* oan be 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. 8AUCY.

Th© man said he suspected fa to be an Infernal machine nd h© stood nt a respectful distance while Inspector Stuart opened It.

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 League campaign were all defrayed out of the Republican campaign fund, and that Mr. Hearst merely acted as the agent of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Rltchcock throughout tha campaign, tha manner In which ha has done hts part In Insuring the election of Mr. Taft and the defeat of Mr. Bryan en title* him to receive marked consider, at Ion and social honors at tha White House, where civic valor nrd devoHon to principle aro ever the watchword of ona of the moat ardent veformera that ever lived."
