THE CAUCUS THAT FAILED.

The men who insisted on holding a
Democratic House caucus at Washing
ton yesterday found themselves In n
most uncomfortable position when the
assemblage had been called to order.
Their situation was, indeed. strongly
remindful OF that OF the little girl who
was walking in bewildered fashion down
Il country road. Have you lost your
way?" inquired one who noticed her
confusion. mo, sir" said she. i've not
lost my way, but I've found a way ]
don't know
IL is not possible that the Democrats
in the House have lost their way. The
guide boards put up by the people at the
election of 1892 are still In plain sight.
They have even been re-lettered by the
popular hand and their perfectly legible
directions have been emphasized and un-
derined by conscientious Chief Mag
istrate. with conspicuous signs pointing
over the one and only course which 1t is
possible for the Congressional majority
consistently and dutifully to follow, why
should there be any further exploration
OF by-ways and unknown paths?
II is a full year since the Flfty-third
Congress was called together to attend
to pressing public business. The gravest
matter which demanded attention at the
beginning of the regular session still
drags, unsettled Itself and unsettlng
everything else. In the name OF all that
America has been and is and ought to
be. let the Congress arouse itself, act
upon the issue. and get itself out Of the
way Of the rountry's commercial and in
dustrial interests.

THE TwENrY.FoURrH STREET CASE

In attempting to evadc the plain duty
Of suppressing "A disorderly house in his
precinct Police Captain Schmit tberger
has placed himself in a most unfortunate
position.
When confronted with the evidence
showing the disorderiy character OF the
house In question, Capt. Schmittberger
declared II was exceeding difficult to
get proof sufficient to justify him in clos
ing the establishment.
The people OF New York remember
very distinctly that Capt. Schmittberg"r
signalized his appointment to the pre-
cinct by wholesale raids on disorderly
houses. He found no difficulty In closing
up dens and scattering their inmates.
His plea that in the present case he can
not find evidence Is a feeble evasion.
Still more unfortunate Is the position
he assumes when he declares that 1t Is
impossible to make Twenty fourth street
n respectable street.
The authority OF the law and the
power of the police is lust the same In
Twenty fourth street as In every other
street Of the city. n Vice can flourish
and prosper, unchecked and defiant in
one street It can do 1t In all. II Capt.
Schmlttbergcr Ia utterly and wholly un-
able to enforce the law and 10 punish
law breaking In this street, he 10 unable
to do 1t anywhere In his precinct.
His confession OF failure Is declara-
ton that under his management law Is
a dead letter authority is powerless and
vice alone IL supreme.
Out of his own mouth he has convicted
himself.
