Suppose that some misguided man should take this advice literally,arm himeelf with a musket or revolver and shoot the first police- an who attempted toarrest him or who struck or clubbed him while resisting arrest. Would not the blood of the murdered officer be upon the bands and soul of the inflammatory speaker? The Chicago anarchists indulged in just such lawiess talk, and when one of their number put into practice their precepts and threwa bomb at the advancing police, the Jogal net of conspiracy to murder was east over those who advised the bomb- throwing. We do not mean to have any sach crime and any such punish- ment in Washington. The ill-advised remarks ‘at the colored meeting were doubtless made thoughtlessly in the heat of indignation, and wore not statements of deliberate conviction as fn the anarchist case. But the ugly-tempered from drink or the criminal element do not make nice disciminations, and are apt toabsorb readily and to improve upon any advice which through our stock of WRAPS. We haven't a word of fault to find with the way you have “laid hold” of the line we gathered for this season.

Gathered all together we bave left just one rackfull of the IMPORTED HIP-SEAM COATS in Beaver and Cheviot. Some of them have fur collars, the others are elaborately braided on counsels them to gratify their pre-existing murderous hostility against the guardians of the public peace. Aud therein lies the danger. Fresh charges of brutality against policemen, accompanied by offers of evidence, suggest the possibility that there may be some foundation for the general complaints on this subject, and that the colored people might help to correct ‘an existing evil by sensible action, and by re- adiating the foolish and criminal utterances which have aroused the indignation of the pub- be ——_—_+ = —___. ‘The United States cannot be expected to wait long on President Montt’s administration, which goes into power today in Chile. What Chile has to do is simple. It cannot tako the new executive many days to decide whether he will give assurances of rendering justice in tho matter of the Baltimore's crew, so shamefully handled in Valparaiso. A decision by the su- preme court which shall punish the rioters for the bloodshed and other violence committed and the execution of the sentence with pecuni- acy satisfaction to the familics of the dead and to the wounded sailors are necessary to restore confidence on the part of this republic fm Chilean good intentions. If no guar- antees are furnished that ali the just demands of this government will be promptly complied with the President will, om the reassembling of Congress, cali the attention of that body to the state of affairs and suggest a remedy. Pacific bat vague gen- eral assurances from the Chilean minister here are not sufficient. There is a popular fecling in this country that these may have been intended te secure delay for the purpose of increasing Chile's preparations for war and that her desire is to have hostilities begin when she 13 ready. Whether or not this feeling is well grounded, it is clear that our people do not mean to be caught napping. The President's course in this matter has been marked by great forbearance, but at the same time by becoming dignity anda due regard to the national in- terests. It cannot be doubted that both the administration and Congress, when the latter shall reconvene, will be guided by the course of events and the necessities of the occasion, and that whatever action will be taken will be for the republic’s welfare so far as con- scientious and intejligent statesmanship may be able to discern. Of course it will depend on the rules the House adopts, and the committee on rules will sustain the Speaker's policy on tariff reform, what becomes of the alleged plan of Mr, Mills and his friends to circumvent the plan of re- form in the Speaker's mind. It is said thata radieal tariff reduction bill is to be introduced ‘and reference moved to Mr. Mills’ cotamittee, which is that on commerce, composed chiefly of Mr. Mills’ friends. The rules have not been adopted, but it is safe to say that when they are there will be added to the old rule requiring the subject to be cognate with the committee, such procedure as contemplated by the Mills men. Their contention is doubtless that the revenues are intimately concerned with the commerce of the country, both for- eign and interstate, and therefore within the jurisdiction of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, as the commerce committee has been newly christened. To this the reply will be that the fact that the rules have hereto- fore requiredand still require revenue subjects ‘te be referred to the ways and means commit- ‘tee is sufficient to exclude the topic from the ether committee. The republicans might be disposed, in order to enjoy the fruits of demo- eratic division, to vote to refer the bill in ac~ cordance with Mr. Mills’ wishes if the reference could be made at all. But it is probable that the new rules will be made so stringent as to Provide against the reference. ———_+=_____ If Edward M.
