The Discontinue of a Store Detective
 Not a Sherlock Holmes,
 Standish Foote, the foorwa ker, had orders to keep a special lookout for shoplifters and kleptomaniacs. This thing of stopping thieves in the big de- partment stores at Christmas time is q delicate business. There is always the danger of accusing some one who is in nocent, and in cases of that kind it generally takes deal of explaipig and apolcgizng to set matters straight. But Mir Foote had given up a good many of his spare moments to the study of physiognomy and human characteris- ties. In fact. he could often by consid- sring the expression on q persons face tell what that person was thinking of.
 So he began with a good deal of con- fidence in himself to watch the people as they came and went through his de- partment. One day he stopped wo-

RETENGE or A STUDENT.

Russia's minister of the interior who
has charge of the universities of the en-
pre- was assassinated Tuesday by
young man from one of the schools. Dis
guised as an aid-de-camp the student
secured access to the room in which the
minister was at the time and offered
him a paper which he said was designed
for the Grand Duke Sergius. The min
lister extended his hand to take it, where
upon the student drew revolver and
shot him to death.
No attempt was made by the student
to escapeeand he bore up with apparent
composure He explained that he had been
sentenced to compulsory military duty
for participating in a student demonstra-
ton in 1901. Subsequently he was par
doned, but his standing in the university
was not restored. smarting under this
disgrace he committed the deed.
The affair has small interest in the
United States except as showing that
there is possibility of an upreaval in Rus
STA that may result in change of govern
ment. There is growing discomfort in
that country with autocratic methods and
as the people are becoming more gener-
ally educated, and attendance upon the
universities increases, there is more Ikeli-
hood that a change will be demanded
Russia is a slow country, but the build
ing of the great Trans-Siberian railway
will have pronounced effect. Communi-
cation with the outside world will be
much easier and more common. A cos
mopolitan city will be built at the ter
minus on the Pacific and the ideas and
ways of other peoples will begin to
spread into the interior.
The friendly alliance of Russia and
France is one of the anomalies of inter
national relations. Its existence is ner-
haps due to the fact that both needed
friends and neither could look to any
one else. The influence of republican
France upon autocratic Russia has not
been light
While the conversion of Russia into
republic is not to be expected soon, vet
it is not impossible that Che form Of
government may be changed to that
of constitutional monarchy, and event
ually the emperor's prerogatives lin
tied as are those Of the king Of Eng
land. The assassination of the minister
OF the interior shows that the younger

HHo ARE PENSION ~SHARKs."


An esteemed reader of T h G o b e,
veteran Of the war for the preservation
of the Union, writes courteous note in
regard to a recent paragraph printed on
this page The paragraph declared that
Pension COMMISSIONS Evans H1ad been
frozen out at the demand of the pension
sharks, and his removal reflects no credit
whatever upon the president"
The writer proceeds to say that our ref
erence to pension sharks was made
"of course, to applicants for pensions I'M
der laws passed by congress-"
On the contrary, our reference was to
pension sharks is used it never does ap-
ply to applicants for pensions. It does
apply, however, to the professional pen
sion attorneys throughout the country,
who have amassed fortunes running into
the hundreds of thousands Of dollars by
lobbying pension claims through congress
and urging such claims before the COM
missioner Of pensions. There is such a
| class of attorneys and they are the ones
who are known as pension sharks" They
are notorious for the devious methods
! they employ and for the small share of
the pension turned over to many ap-
plicants after they have secured it on
| contingent arrangement.
! To this class of gentry, and to all who
might be suspected of trying to get pen
sions Illegally Commissioner Evans was
an insurmountable obstacle. He was IN
! sistent that all claims should be shown
to be bona fide, supported by sufficient
credible evidence, and he used all the
machinery at his command to prevent
frauds upon the pension roll. For this he
| earned the relentless hatred of the pen
sion sharks. T he G lob cannot recall
national encampment of the Grand
Army Of the Republic when Commissioner
Evans was declared to be unfriendly to
deserving veterans, and accepts this cir
cumstance as evidence that his admins
tration was satisfactory to the veterans.
If it should be true that a national en-
campment denounced the commissioner
T h G o b will stand corrected, ard
admit his administration was unsatisfac-
tory.
The Globe would not detract from
the glory and the rewards earned from
their country by the volunteers who went
forth to save the Union. 1t does not for
get what they did in that dark time;
I h G ! b does not forget what the
country has done for these veterans in
return. But T h G. o b is not unmind-
full of the fact that there are hundreds Of
pension sharks waxing fat at the ex-
pense Of these veterans by the employ
ment of ways that are dark in the pursuit
of their trade. T he Globe believes
such men are responsible for the re-
moval of Commissioner Evans, and is
still of the opinion that his freezing out''
reflects no credit upon the president.

TORTURE Is FORBIDDEN.

Our strenuous president has Needed the
outcry of outraged humanity. Torture If
Filipinos has been forbidden.
Z e Clio has called attention IN
the infamy of inflicting upon those help
less little brown men the water cure,,
torture, and also denounced the policy
Of killing and burning" which Maj.
Waller and other officers swore was ex-
ecuted by order of Gen. Jacob H. Smith;
the more killing and burning the bet
ter Smith would be satisfied with the
work of his subordinates.
Such orders put an indelibIe stain upon
the escutcheon of the United States. If
proved to have been issued by Gen.
Smith, no punishment can be inflicted
adequate to the crime. That the orders
We're issued is not to be doubted, for four
subordinate officers swore to them. Gal
lows expiation is the only method en-
ployed in such cases in the criminal
courts of the United States.
1t IS matter Of regret that our Repub-
lican president and his Republican Sec
rotary Of war could not have taken the
time otherwise employed in the humili-
alton of Gen. Miles and acted more
promptly in behalf of the tortured Fill
pinos. When finally driven to action bv
the deafening cry of outraged humanity.
orders We're issued that Gen. Smith should
be put on trial by court-martial and that
other officers accused of like barbarous
conduct should also be tried. This is a
tardy but good beginning.
Before the world the United States
stands guilty Of conduct INDUCED in only
by butcher nations. We are no longer
able to raise hand in behalf of the op-
pressed, the outraged, the presentation
we have been guilty of all these things
ourselves. The Turk may massacre
Christians and we cannot protest in the
name of humanity, for the unspeakab BILE
sultan will simply point to the record Of
our own conduct in the Philippines Eng
land may pen up Boer women and chill
dren in death camps and we are prevent
ed from calling her infamous-for we have
done as wickedly in the Philippines. II

to mulch trees, it is not strictly neces-

it. Instead, keep the surface of the soil

New York Letter.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Mayor Low has
decided to establish what in Tammany
days would have been designated as star
chamber proceedings With all Of Tam
many's desire to avoid publicity during It's
four years Of graft and plumber Mayor

all meetings of the board for the next
three weeks-and there are to be one or
two sessions every day-shau be private
with no information obtainable concerning
the actions of this important body.
What was the last open session OF the
board Of estimate until after May was
held this week, and the board was
swamped with requests for bond issues
for specific improvements and for addi-
tional appropriations from many Of the
city departments.
