The causes that have operated

The desire to obtain the best

The knowledge that the poli-

Lawlessuess is not less such, but
moro, where 1t usurps the functions OF
the peace officer and OF the courts. The
frequent lynchlng OF 2olored people ac-
cused OF crimo is without the excuse
which has sometimes been urged by
mobs for a failure to pursue the ap-
pointed methods for tho punishment OF
crime, that the accused have undue in
fluence over courts and iuries. Such
acts are reproach to tho community
where they occur, and SO lar as they can
be made the subject OF federal jurisdic-
ton, the strongest repressive legislation
is demanded. A public sentiment that
will sustain the officers Of the law in
resisting mobs and in protecting accused
persons in their custody should be pro-
noted by every possible means.
The officer who gives his life in tho
brave discharge OF his duty is worthy
of special honor. No lesson needs to
be so urgently impressed upon.our peo-
pie as this, that no worthy end or cause
can be promoted by lawlessness.

The exhibit OF the work Of tho ox-
ecutive departments is submitted to
Congress and to tho public in the hope
that there will be found in it due
sense of responsibility and an earnest
purpose TO maintain the national honor
and to promote the happiness and pros
perity Of all our people, And this
brief exhibit OF the growth and pros
perity OF the country will give us
a level from which to note
the increase or decadence that
new legislative policies may
bring to US. There is no reason why
the national influence, power and pros
perity should not observe tho same
rates oil increase that have characterized
the past thirty years. We carry the
great impulse and increase of these
years into the future. There is no rea-
son why in many lines OF production we
should not surpass Rii other natiods rs
we have already done in some. There
are no near frontiers to our possible de-
velopments. Retrogression would be q
crime. BENZ. HARRISON.

LIQUOR IN WASHINGTON.
The District Of Columbia is left, by a
decision of the supreme court of the
District, without any law regulating the
liquor traffic. An old statute OF the
legislature OF the District, relating to
the licensing OF various vocations, has
heretofore been treated by the commits
sioners as giving them the power to
grant or refuse licenses to sell intoxi-
eating liquors, and rs subjecting those
who sold without a license to penal
tics; but in May last the supreme court
OF the District held against this view OF
the powers OF the commissioners. 1t is
of urgent importance, therefore, that
Congress should supply, either by di-
rect enactment or by comforting discre-
tionary powers upon tho commission

upon the liquor traffic in the District.
