A SORRY SPECTACLE

The appearance or leading police Of
fetal as complainant in a police court
against citizen whom he charges with
assault is In no sense an edifying specta-
Gle. The appearance Of the second Of
hcer in command of our local force in
such a character is under the particular
circumstances of this case a grave re-
rect1on on the police administration of
our city. On the published facts the
complaint of this official is a mere pre-
text for visiting his wrath and exercis
ing his authority on an obnoxious news
paper representative.
1t has been plain for some time past.
that the representative at the central
station of our contemporary. the Pioneer
Press, has not been persona grata. His
work has evidently not been acceptable
to those in command there, and the adj
mitted efforts Of the police to have him
removed from his employment no doubt
show in some degree the animus Of the
present prosecution.
The verdict of the jury in this case will
no doubt be in accordance with the ev-
idence. Even If 1t should be a verdict
sustaining Chief Schweitzer's charge that
will not absolve Schweitzer from the
grossly improper conduct which on his
own admission he was guilty of toward
Mr.. Shattuck. A polite request would
have secured the return of the papers
i'll question. If his subordinate, in whose
custody the papers were, had not
thought it necessary to lay hold of the
reporter it certainly was stretch of per-
sonal privilege on the part of his SUI
perior to do so. and clearly shows that 1t
was less a desire TO recover the paper
than to show his authority and unfrfend-
liness which led Schweitzer to his UNI
seemly exhibition of feeling. The incep-

What, for instance. is a mere matter of
$1,000 to man of the continent-wide,
trust-begetting resources of Hanna?
If the sum involved In the polite "hold-
up in this case were say, $500, GEO. it
would be easy to understand Chairman
Huling's perturbation of spirit.
Now the state convention is coming
on, and the prevailing unpleasantness Is
making itself manifest in multitude of
ways. The $1,000 episode is all but for
gotten, doubtless in view of the magniff-
cent financial prospects which confront
the friends and enemies of Senator
Hanna. The fight is to be essentially
Hanna and anti-Hanna struggle. Both
sides keep their eyes steadily fixed on
the national administration, and even
the anti-Hanna phalanx are unwilling to
forego their chance at share of the
loaves and fishes in case their antago-
nism toward the real head of the admin
istration should not be crowned with
success.
The outcome of the struggle will be
watched with interest by the country.
Hanna will win. The Lord has been said
to be always on the side of the heaviest
artillery, and He usually 10 in imperialst
politics, in Ohio and elsewhere. Hanna
ought to win. He has become something
of a national institution. He has an
encouraging influence on the progress
of pure imperiaIist politics. He Is I'M
surpassed even by Quay, and Is in no
especial danger of being beaten in the
race for national distinction, even by the
great Platt himself. AS Hanna is under
stood to be the original trust promoter.
so he is the mainstay and backbone of
the movement within the Republican
party. We cannot get along without
him. Better dispense with imperialism
and the trust movement itself rather
than retire Hanna to private life His
opponents will doubtless learn ere long
that the small matter of winning a man 8

ton of the alteration between the two
men shows, moreover. that, if Schweitzer
die not call the reporter liar. as the
latter says he did, his attitude and dis
position were such as should not be toll
Grated for moment on the part Of any
public official toward citizen seeking in
formation which he was entitled to seek.
There has been much unnecessary crit
icism of police officials in the past few
years. No one will say on the record
that it has been undeserved. On the con-
trary, the general feeling Is we'll de-
fined that if the full facts of that admin
istration were known the criticism would
be much more general and more severe
than it has been. Doubtless this report
er was not especially friendly in his
views or understanding Of the official
conduct of Schweitzer and his associates.
That fact of itself supplies no warrant
for the bullyism of which he was plainly
the victim OH the part of the present
complainant.
