a BuMPTIoUs POLICEMAN.

Judge KimbaH deserves the thanks of the
community for administering a timely re-
buke to the policeman who arrested young
man who was quietly standing at corner
with some friends and refused to move
on" at the officers bidding. The judge in
formed The over-zealous guardian of the
peace that a man has a perfect right to
stand on the street corner and converse
with friends in proper manner, provided
he does not obstruct travel, and, as a gen
eral rule, that citizens have some rights
which must be respected.
Washington policemen, as a rule, con-
duct themselves in a manner that leaves
little room for fault-finding. but even on the
hcalthiest body there are sometimes ex-
cresoenccs which need surgical treatment.

PEOPLES LOAN ASSOCIATION.

PEO FILES LOAN AsSOt Ia IlBN.
The proposition 30 establish a poor
peoples loan association has awakened IN
usual interest and it now Ieoks as if such
an enterprise VIII soon be put into sue
cessful operation. II would end shyIock-
ism among worthy poor and give those in
need 0rtCmporary assistance opportunity 10
make small loans at a reasonable rate OF
interest. No one Of the reform movements
prosecuted by The Times has met with such
general approval as the cleaning out of the
shyiocks. and If il results in the founding
OF a loan association for poor people it VIII
be a happyculminationo of what must becon-
sidered good journalistic work.
Washington has long been a rich raiding
ground for money sharks. Heretofore they
have robbed and thrived without molesta-
ton. As high as 800 per cent. per year
has been charged poor people for the use
OF money, and hundreds of women and
children have been rendered homeless by
these helrJless sharks. Some of these poor
people have been driven to the depths of
despair and even a worse fate by extur-
tionate usary, and it is a wonder that these
money lenders have been permitted TO carry
on their plgndering operations in such an
enlightened community.
a loan association would destroy their
field OF operations. Nothing but dire ne
cessity compels people to borrow from
shylock, and if they could be accommodated
in a legitimate way in times of emergency
For that reason the present movement TO
establish a Poor Peoples Loan Association
should be encouraged.

Another labor abuse exists in this city
that should be looked into and renedied
Certain tailoring firms are sending gar
ments 10 the sweat shops OF Baltimore to
be made up. No merchant tailor is de-
serving of patronage who deprives local
journeymen of employment by any such
method Norwill the public purchasesweat
shop goods, as equal value can be purchased
reasonably elsewhere. This local abuse
should be taken up by labor organizations
and thoroughly investig especially
by the Journymen tailors.

IN TAYLoR'S BEHALF.

Unless President Cleveland can be in
duced 10 commute the sentence, wife muir
derer Taylor must hang On the 26ta day
of next month. His offense was extreme
aud under ordinary circumstances would
justify his execution, but The fact that the
deed was committed in a lit of jealous
despair, caused by the iniidelity of his
victim, entities him to lighter sentence
than the death penalty.
The best recommendation for Presidential
clcmency Taylor could have is the sym
pathy manifested by the citizens Of East
Washington, where he resided. Nearly all
OF these favor a lighter sentence and claim
that Taylor's wife gave great cause for
Jealousy. Murder, under ranycircunlstances,
deserves severe punishment, but if it can
ever be condoned it is caused by the in
