The Suns Washington gossip states that ex-
Senator ingalls, and other distinguished ora
tors and writers have often stated puOHcly
that Washington IS the best governed CIV III
the world. This may be true IN q genera
way but If the statement Of well-known CIT
izen is to be believed. Washington IS still
country village as far as the efficiency OF ITS
police is concerned. This citizen, who IS
well-known merchant named VI. Cohen. writes
TO tho local papers a most pitifu and amusing
tale which bears down rather hard on the
police force Mr.. Cohen says:
Saturday. the 9th ultimo. between the
hours of and Z. NJ. five negroes sneaked
into my store aud stole pair Of trousers.
My son and followed them out into George
town distance OF eighteen blocks. crying,
Stop. thief but along the whole route we
met no policeman. This is the third time this
has occurred 10 me. On the other occasions.

goods; at another time l was robbed Of $50
worth OF clothes. never received
cents worth. |. as n taxpayer. demand
protection. and am entitled TO it. At police
headquarters | was told that there are not

cause Of so many robberies.

The Worlds special correspondent from
Washington writes as follows
Representative Walker. of Massachusetts |
has made for himself more notorlety tnan |
fame by a speech on the tariff which. though |
intended to be in defense of protection, IS |
regarded as one OF the best tariff |
reform arguments heard on the floor this ses-
sion He is Just now. however, attracting /
more attention in Massachusetts by reason of |
his attack upon George Fred. Williams, the /
young Massachusetts, mugwump who had |
ventured 10 inquire az 10 how much OF Mr.. |
Walkers printed speech was really delivered |
on the floor Of the House. Mr. Walker ap-
pears to have stirred up hornets nest 4 |
prominent Massachusetts man now IN Wash |
ngton said
Walker will never be able to live down |
one statement made IN his speech as printed |
in the Congressional Record. He said Be |

Boston nice young men, not O principle. |
They 20 into II as white men enlisted to |
officer colored soldiers in tho late unpleasant
ness
I'm Massachusetts this is bad break.
Walker has evidently forgotten who his early
neighbors were. He has forgotten that |
Colonel Robert G. Shaw, who once said, l |
dare to command "a colored regiment. raised |
with his own money the Fifty fourth Massa-
chusetts regiment of colored troOps-the |
first coloied regiment to enter the
servce-an sealed his devotion 10 |
his expressed principle by laying |
down his lite while bravely leading his men in ,
q night attack at Morris Island, near Char
lesion III 1863, and was buried in South Caro-
lima soil among scores of the men he led. |
Walker forgot that Colonel Shaw was lead
ing member of one of the most distinguished |
and honorable as well as wealthiest families |
in all New England and that to mis- memory Il
fine monument is about to be erected 10y the
citizens Of Boston.
1T is expecting too much of human nature
to believe that the friends OF Colonel Shaw
will forget or forgive what they can but re-
gard rs an insult TO the memory of one Of the
Dravest and nobest of all who iell in defense
Of the Union"
