Brutality in the Army.

No right-minded person will be surprised
to read the statement that Secretary Alger
has determined to rigidly investigate the
recently reported case of the brutal treat
ment of private soldier at Fort Sheridan
and to make such disposition of those guilty
of it as the established facts may warrant
On the other hand. it would have been just
cause for general wonder had he been con-
tent to allow the matter to rest where the
authorities at the fort are disposed to
leave 1t. The soldier may have deserved
punishment for disobedience of orders and
the discipline of the army and the general
good Of the service doubtless demanded
that ne should be punished. But the course
reported to have been pursued toward
him and not denied was so indecentIy
brutal that the incident becomes at once a
disgrace to the officials responsible for II
and stigma upon the military establish
-asnt of the country. 1t Is unfortunately
too true that the military authorities, and
especially those young in the service, very
Otter imagine that they are a law unto

Receiver Schoepf's elaborate answer to
the Commissioners in his effort to Justify
his application fer permit to lay pipe lines
IN the compressed air equipment Of the
lexington and Belt roads ignores the we'll
known fact that the subject of these ac-
cessories was never preached while Con-
gress retained jurisdiction over the matter
but was advanced only after the tests had
progressed to such an extent that amen
dafory legislation was out of question at

statements made by the receiver and others
in behalf of the companies before the con-
eressional committees to the effect that it
was the intention of the corporations to
equip their lines with independent motors
whatever may be the specific terms of the
statutes, which the Commissioners have in
terpreted as giving no warrant for the pipe
lines, 1t is common understanding that
congress did not contemplate the grant of
permission to disturb the street surfaces
except for the purpose of installing an I'M
foreground electric system.

The Negro an an Indiy idual,
From the Atlanta Constitution.

Booker Washington is eloquent because
he is earnest, and he is earnest because he
has intelligence enough to see this hidden
truth. SO he tells his race that If they
want respect and recognition they must
win it as individuals the whites do
show the fruits of worth. go about armed
with credentials of character and conduct
Perhaps it IS too soon for the negroes to
take in the full significance of Booker
Washington's advice. But some of them
are beginning to see it-are beginning to
see it. indeed. that Washington himself is
living example Of the truth he is teach
ing. He is treated with the utmost respect
wherever he goes. north or south. and it
was in the south that his remarkable gifts
have received their fullest recognition He
goes about with clean hands. His face is
an index to his character; and his conduct
stands for all.
The New York Independent will say that
all negroes cannot be Booker Washingtons.
That is true, but the most intelligent can
emulate his high example and so aid in
lifting their race to a higher level And
we could wish that there were more Booker
Washingtons among the whites than there
are,

while he touched upon other problems dur

by what he had said for silver He was
defeated. but he retired with the respect of
the country.
Since then the way of the champion of
silver has been a hard one to travel
Events have overturned his theories and
predictions, and little CT what he said on
the subject of silver last year has been
available for use this year. But this gives
no excuse for such shift of position as to
show Mr.. Bryan now in the light of 4

An lnWelcOme l.uesf.

Mr.. Powderly the commissioner-genera
Of immigration, is said to have given orders
for the arrest of Louise Michel Immediately
upon her arrival in this country, to pre-
vent her landing. Louise Michel is one of
the most dangerous agitators CT all Eu-

extreme, her following is large and menac-
ing and hec influence, wherever she may

of person that this country does not care
to entertain. either transient visitor
or as permanent resident. The only
security to be found in her presence here
would be to make her residence SO definite
and permanent that she would find herself
without audiences.
The action of the commissioner-general
is to be praised for there can safely be 10

There is ample authority for the action,
the statutes permitting the arrest and ex-
pulsion of any person coming from abroai
who has been convicted in another country
OF crime or misdemeanor indicating a de-
gree of moral turpitude. Louise Michel
was convicted some years ago in France
OF having melted certain Partisan work.
men to riot and piilage. Her term of i'm

release continued to preach the doctrines

part of her sentence. She is coming 20
America avowedly to instill her teachings
into the American mind, to scatter the
seeds of anarchsm broadcast. Her arrival
just at present, in the midst of a heated
local campaign in New York, would be a
menace to the community.
While it may be impossible to keep out
many anarchists and ether undesira Die
agitators whose records are as black as
that of Louise Michel. merely because they
have not had the bad fortune to fall into

Not a week passes without the necessity

now prevails. Gradually, however, some

which shall aim at the ultimate abolition
of all such crossings. New Jersey people
