A Dress and Pair of Shoes snatched From
Under Man Arm.
Last night about Z 80 O'Clock, Mr.. r.
H. Warren, whb lives on L street, was
the victim of an attsck by robber.
Mr.. Warren was on his way home at
the time and was carrying under his arm
the material for a dress for his wife and
a pair of shoes for his little girl.
The electric lights were burning
brightly at the time and all the gas jets
along the way which Mr.. Warren was go
ing were lighted up but that fact did not
alter matters any. for when Mr. Warren
reached the grove between H and [
streets some one jumped out from behind
large tree that stood close by the road
and ierked the bundles from under Mir
Warren's arm, making off with them.
The attack was made so suddenly and
unexpectedly that it took Mr.. Warren
completely unawares, and before he
could recover himself the robber had
made good his escape.
Mr.. Warren didAnot get a good view
of his assailant but he thinks that the
party was white man.

FRIGHTENED 10 DEATH.

The New York Tribune never loses an
opportunity to lament the fate Of that
martyred contractor, John Roach. II an
opportunity does not offer to say that he
died Of grief because Secretary Whitney
would not accept his worthless ships, the
Tribune makes an opportunity.
When Secretary Tracy complimented
ex Secretary Whitney on the successful
trial Of the Baltimore the Tribune said
That is the record which Secretary
Tracy has made. The worst fact In
Secretary Whitney's record is that he did
not in the same spirit recognize the ex-
cellence Of the work authorized by his
predecessor, and completed by John
Roach Patriotism before partisanship
shines in the congratulatory despatch OF
Secretary Tracy 20 his predecessor. The
bankruptcy and death Of John Roach
told different story.
This illustrates the evil Of which the
Tribune complains 1t cannot sink its
partisauship even to congratulate Secre-
tary Whitney for the success Of the Bal.
timore. II must return, like the dog in
the Bible, to John Roach.
The truth about John Roach is that
under Robson and Chandler he had a
corrupt "pull" on naval ship building.
In these circumstances he under
took to build seaworth ships and
il they did not float or run or fulfill
the contracts in any other respects, those
accommodating officials would remedy
the defects BY providing for changes and
repairs TO the extent Of hundreds or
thousands Of dollars. This occurred
with every ship that John Roach built.
They all had to be repaired before they
went on the docks.
John Roach probably attempted TO
build seaworthy ships on plans furnished
by the government on which sea-worthy
vessel was an impossibility That was
his own fsult--his own incompetency He
couldnot tell good plans and specifications
from bad ones and when he had corrupt
pull and Secretaries Robson and Chan
dler it made no difference. When sx-
Secretary Whitney came in IL made all
the difference in the world Ex.Secretary
Whitney looked at the plans and specif
cations and then at the leaky vessels and
refused to accept them. He could not
have done otherwise.
II ex Secretary Whitney's honesty
killed John Roach It is all the worse for
John. he should have been more IA
milisr with honesty. Il is TO his dis
credit that an honest Secretary in the
place Of the notorious Chandler killed
him. Meantime the Cramps, under
Whitney, have turned ont the fastest
ship in the world. Roach, under Chan
der, turned out vessels that would NOT
float.

No SET Of laws can make or break the
industries Of this grand country Free
trade, If 1t we're possible, would simply
leave merchants and manufacturers free
from restraints, often vexatious and har-
assing to manage their own business In
their own way. They could buy and
sell where they found It to their adyan-
tage to buy and sell without the aid or
the interference Of Congress II is adj
mitted that the unexcelled merchants Of
this country, aided by the natural resour
ces Of the country, splendid rivers
and the cheapest and best railway
transportation in he world can compete
with advantage with any country IN the
world The labor Of the country is SUI
perior to the labor Of any country in the
world in the quantity 1t produces and in
the Ingenuity exercised in producing its
wares. The theory Of the protection
list is that by confirming these advar-
tages the nse Of go. 900, 600 people the
country will derive greater advantage
than by extending them TO 400, 000, 600
The truth is that trade laws only restrict
trade. IL is is not possible for any set Of
laws to do more than rob one man to pay
another man IL the iron trade
is protected and receives bounty rang
ing somewhere under 80 ~ per ton some
BODY else pays that bounty Hence the
country at large is worse off In the end
because it requires more labor for a ton

tries. All industries which are profitable
would be here just the same, tariff or no
tariff. Those industries which are a burden
and q tax should not be here. II Is not a
benefit to maintain an Improbable In
dustry. The other contention that immi-
grants are induced to come here is not
popular and the behavior Of the immi-
grants who have been invited here Is
likely to make this theory still more I'M
popular, The proposition TO make the
country richer and poorer BY law is pre-

Mexico il Proaperous.

New York Sun.
The anniversary Of Mexico's independ.
ence has Just been celebrated In all the
chief cities Of our sister republic, and
the enthusiasm Of the national holiday
this year has been almost equal to that
Of the Fourth Of July in the United
States. There is good reason for it.
Mexico, which has so often suffered from
internal disturbances, is now enjoying a
long period Of profound peace
her prosperity is increasing in
remarkable way; a new element
is being added to her population by i'm
migration from Italy, and there is unus-
ual activity in the development Of her
vast resources The Mexican Govern
ment has sent an official delegate to the
Congress Of the Three Americas that Is
so soon to assemble in Washington and
there need be no doubt that the acts Of
that Congress will be advantageous to
the commercial interests OF Mexico as
well as to those Of the United States.
