WE see no remedy for the evil of
train robbing. The corporations are
not willing to undertake the cost of
maintaining an armed posse on every
train. Such guards are sometimes
put on for short while, but as soon
as the incident grows cold all precau-
tions are relaxed, and the robbers,
who are waiting for just such an op-
portunity, embrace it, and while they
are getting away with their plumber
the news of another robbery furnishes
another item of sensational interest.
1t would, at least, be worth while to
make train robbing capital crime.
AS 1T is, any term in States prison,
with weak governor and senti-
mental public always ready to take
the side of the worst criminals, will
always be short If the rascals do not
have early opportunity to escape.
Hanging train robbers would have a
good effect. The fear Of imprison-
ment does not deter them. OF course.
If fighting breed of express messen-
gers and postal railway clerks could
be secured the robbers might fare diff.
ferently.

THE police department Of Chicago
twenty years ago must have been
composed Of queer body of men. 1t
now appears that of the thirty odd
officers appointed at that time, and
who were recently marked for retire
ment, but one knew his own age. All
the rest now find that they are
younger than they supposed them
selves to be, and therefore entitled to
a longer service on the force. Some
of these men have risen from the
ranks to the offices Of lieutenants,
captains, and inspectors, while others
travel beat as regularly as they did
a score of years ago. How they have
existed for SO many years without
making so simple discovery will
puzzle the public at large. 1t may
well be questioned if men of such
dense ignorance are fit to act as
guardians of the peace.

The fiamboyant young Emperor OF
Germany is, unwittingly, giving great
impetus to the progress of the spirit
of liberty in his dominion. He is
showing his subjects what is meant
by the divine right of kings, and the
German character is not one to long
acknowledge that right when it is
once seen to be irksome and even re-
voting. The spirit of new-found
nationality, together with frequent
wars in which the German arms won
glory, kept the people quiet under the
rule of the first Emperor, although
toward the close of his reign a spirit
Of unrest was plainly apparent in the
rapidly increasing strength of the
socialistic party. Under the present
Emperor signs of revolt are more EN-
phatic, and it is the sheerest faulty
for him to hazard such utterances as
he is reported to have addressed to the
recruits for the army the other day.
In emphasizing the fact that the re-
cruits had sworn allegiance to him
the Emperor made use Of this extra
ordinary language: you have only
one enemy, and that is my enemy.
In the present socialistic agitation
may order you, which God forbid, to
shoot down your relatives your broth
ers, even your parents and you must
obey without a murmur.p The spirit
Of the age does not aid to make a
man machine simply because he
wears uniform coat, and it will be
odd, indeed, II Emperor Williams
words do not help to produce an effect
little expected by him.
