A much-needed lesson of decency and
forbearance is furnished by Prof Booker
T. Washington. of the Tuskegee Institute.
to those who are intent on making politi-
cal capital out of the recent Georgia
lynchings. Prof. Washington is univers-
ally regarded as one of the ablest men
of his race on this continent. Speak
ing of the immediate occasion for the
savage outbreak on the part of the mob,
Prof. Washington talks in this sensible
language:
The solution of our present difficulties
is to be found in the thorough mental, re-
ligious and industrial education of both
races in the South. 1t is an encouraging
fact to note that of the hundreds Of col
ored men who have been educated in the
higher institutions in the South not one
has been guilty of the crime of assault
ing a woman.
That. too. is as far as he is willing to
go in the consideration Of the unfortunate
occurrence.
What a contrast is presented by this
moderation to the frothy and incendiary
words of Bob Ingersoll, a man who is on
constant warfare with the most cherish
ed traditions of his race, whose only re-
lation to Christianity is that of a pro-
fessional assaiant. The views of this
chronic sensationalist have been set out
at length in the press dispatches. He
closes his expression of them by asking:
HAS the United States no power to pro-
tect a citizen?" and he proceeds to avoid
a rational answer to his own query by
adding: "A nation that cannot or will
not protect its citizens in time of peace
has no right to ask its citizens to pro-
tect it in time of war"
The man who speaks these words knows
as well as any man can know anything
that the United States has nothing what
ever to do with this transaction, and
never can have. He cannot plead ignor-
ance since the man qualified to speak for
the United States in such a contingency
has made that much plain Within few
days.
No; the United States cannot protect
its citizens in the direction indicated by
Ingersoll. If it could, 1t would not have
been a wholly unnecessary proceeding,
If It had long ago undertaken their pro-
lection against the blasphemous diatribes
of this dangerous demagogue.

Mr.. Staples claims that the bank ia in
excellent shape. and that since 1t was
re-opened the liabilities have been re-
duced from S9l 1904 to $s4.970.s1.
During this time the bank secured many
new depositors. but instead of using the
money to pay off old debts. kept the
money separate. and by SO doing involved

FINAL ORDER FAULTY.
New One Necessary for Paving q
Block on Tenth Street

The board Of public works yesterday
rejected the specifications prepared by
the city engineer for the paving of Tenth
street, from ST. Peter to Rice, and sent
the final order back to the council, with
the request that new one be prepared
The board claims that recent opinion
Of the legal department of the city Is to
to the effect that final order can con-
tain only one proposition, and the one or
der1ng the street paved provides either
with asphalt or brick it was of no force.
The new order will ask for brick pave
ment on the strip used by the street car
company where granite will be used.
The brick pavement between the points
mentioned will cost $,125
The Warren-Scharff-c company were also
notified that on number of the asphalt
paved streets on the hill the pavement
was in such a condition that extensive
repairs will have to be made at the ex-
pense of the company. The total amount
Of pavement where repairs will have to
be made Is in the neighborhood of 5000
square yards.

WHO WILL BE CoURT-MARTIALED.

WHO WILL BE COURT-MARTIALE
The embalmed beef inquiry has been
brought to a close. The decision has not
yet been rendered publicly. But two little
straws have been observed floating along
the turbid current side by side with the
receptacles of discarded canned roast
beef which show the direction in which
the official mind in the war department
is tending. These are the fact that the
representative of the department before
the board closed his case without argu-
ment, and the other fact that Gen Miles
is already on the war path against the
board and its probable findings
The major general commanding has
permitted himself to be interviewed, as
these columns showed some days ago.
And the burden of his speech is that
somebody will be court-martialed, and it
will not be he. The average newspaper
reader is generally disposed to think that
Miles has made out a pretty strong case
How strong, it would not be possible TO
say with accuracy, without some knowl-
edge at least as to how the beef contracts
were let, and who were the interme-
diaries between the head of the war de-
partment and the packers. Gen. Miles
however, seems quite satisfied that there
will be another touching exoneration Of
all concerned except himself. Hence his
mind naturally reverts to the process of
court-martial.
The commanding general should not ex-
pect too much. According to the view
taken by "the judge advocate generals $
office and other authorities on military
law" it is Gen. Miles who is on trial, and
all talk OF court-martial is idle which
has not immediate and exclusive refer
ence to himself. From all the indications,

AN EXTRAORDINARY ATTITUDE.

Some months ago an indictment was

of perjury. The transactions out Of
which both indictments have grown re-
late to system of insurance, said to be
fraudulent. in the conduct of which
Swanstrom was associated with Bishop
Ginner. now awaiting trial in the county
jail.
AS the result Of the alleged Justification
of the election returns from certain pre-
cincts in the Fourth ward of this city in
the last election, George Coulter, a clerk
in the Office of the register of deeds, was
indicted All Of these Indictments ara
still operative. none of the accused
men having been brought to trial.
In the Coulter case. Register of Deeds
hrahmer at once suspended his clerk
from office pending the action of the
criminal authorities on the charge
County Treasurer Arosin has not thought
proper to take similar action, or, indeed.
any action whatever regarding the
charges brought against his deputy
Either Mr.. Arosin has exceptional
confidence in his deputy, or he
has very little regard for the decencies
of official station. In permitting Swan
strom to retain his position with an in
dictment for larceny pending against
him Mr.. Arosin seems to us to have yio-
lated first principle of official respon
sibility. This Is true, no matter how
close his relations with his deputy NAV
be or how great his confidence in that
deputy's innocence.
The G o has no desire to pretudge
any or these cases. 1t calls attention
to them only because of the extraordi
nary attitude which the treasurer of this
