ANOTHER CRuMPACkER BILL.

Representative Crumpacker of In
diana seems to think it his duty to see
that things which he considers wrong
are set right by Congress. He is the
congressman who has been urging
Congress for sometime to cut down the
representation of those Southern states
which have eliminated the illiterate ne
gro vote from their suffrages, and now
it seems he has introduced a bill to
clothe the United States Courts with
jurisdiction of lynching cases in which
the victims of the lynchers were aliens
If the bill is not in violation of the
constitution there is no particular rea-
son, as far as we can see. why it should
not become a law. 1t is evident that
the states, thus far, have failed to
catch and punish the lynchers of
aliens. and if the United States can
do any better they should be given a
chance to do so. The United States
have paid out considerable money at
one time and another for damages to
relatives of parties who have been
lynched, and as the United States are
held responsible by foreign countries
when their citizens are lynched in any
part OF this country it seems but right
that the national government should
have the right to run down and punish
the lynchers.
There is a case pending now in
Washington. Some Italians were
lynched in Louisiana not long ago and
a pretty big sum will have to be paid
by our government to their relatives.
1t seems but right that the United
States should have the power to hunt
down and punish those lynched them.

Two things have occurred within the
last few days that will have very inn
portant influence on the future of the
Democratic party. One is the election
Of Mr.. German to the United States
Senate and the other is the resignation
of Mr.. Croker as the leader of Tam
many. Mr.. German will not take
seat in the Senate until u year from
next March, but his influence on the
political situation will be felt at once.
He is a leader of great ability and ex-
perience and he will have much to do
with shaping the policies of the Dem
ocratic party in the next presidential
campaign. He has the confidence OF
the Democratic masses as we'll as OF
the Democratic leaders, and will be
consulted before any important step is
taken by the party in any matter that
is likely to have a bearing on the par
tvs welfare.
With Mr. Croker out of the way Mr..
Hill will have a pretty free hand in
New York. 1t is of the highest inn
portance that that great state shall be
wrested from the control of the Re-
publicans at the election next fall. MIR.
Hill and Mr.. Croker were at outs, and
while that condition OF affairs contin-
ued there was but little reason to hope
for Democratic success there. Under Mr..
Hills leadership the party will be unit
ed and full Of confidence. 1t will be
put in a condition to carry the state
in the presidential campaign even if it
does not carry it next fall.
Hill and German will work together.
They will work for victory. Both have
supporters in the West and South as
well as in the East and North. They
may not. of course. be able to direct
the course of the party in accordance
with their views on all matters. but
they will come pretty near doing it.
From now on there will be a great deal
in the political news as to what Mr..
Hill and Mr.. German are doing.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem) says:
"Statisticans who are interested in
facts relating to longevity would de-
rive valuable information from a study
of the growth of our pension system.
Pensioners in the United States are
evidently not in need OF Prof. Loeb's
discovery for the prolongation of life.
They Seem to have fathomed the mys-
ters with extraordinary success"
The Washington Post Qnd) says
Looking back over the events OF the
past four years, we should say that
the more prominent men, who did the
real fighting-iwith the exception of
Dewey--have lost, rather than gained
ground as the result of their misguided
activities Perhaps, IL Sampson had
succeeded in his effort to prevent a
fight off Santiago by sinking the Mer-
rimac in the right place. we should
have more heroes and more admirals
than at present
The New Orleans Picayune CDem)
says: "The race has been long one,
but the South is at last ahead in the
