Thus the fraud has ramtfled. Two police
lieutenants have already been dismissed
from the force for neglect of duty, despite
their hints Of possessing proof that they
were inactive in the premises only by orders
from higher up Apart from the matter
of the Illegal registrations, the case reads
exactly like that of New York in the dark
days when DR.. Parkhurst was collecting his
evidence upon which the Lexow inquiry
was based. 1t presents the spectacle of
brothels permitted to flourish without con-
cealment or pretense of responsibility under
the very eyes of the police and In the face
of statutes condemning them as illegal; Of
gambling houses doing q thriving business
in the same open fashion: Of dives Of the
worst character paying tribute to the police
authorities. The German government has
done more than to take the first step to-
ward putting an end to this foul traffic. It
has perhaps opened up a scandal which will
be too fragrant for Philadelphia to tolerate.
The evil will not be cured by sacrificing the
subordinate agents Of the police corruption.
The need Is of an investigator who will not
hesitate to aim at the very top of the whole
vile conspiracy.

Mr.. Chamberlain Ahoat.

Mr.. Chamberlain has departed for South
Africa provided with AL the comforts of
home" The ships table. If we may believe
the reports, will not lack for good things
Meat on the hoof and the finest brands OF
wines In abundant quantity are mentioned
in the list OF supplies. His cabin is most
elegantly fitted up. The jokers as yet have
not been severe on him, but they may at
tend to his case later. For much less, Cen
eral Miles, at the b, ginning OF the Spanish
war, paid a heavy penalty. From Mr..
Dooley down, the wits with US had great
fun with him. Royalty itself. we are told
was never afioat with arrangements for
personal comfort more complete than those
made in Mr.. Chamberlain's behalf.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Chamberlain is not a
gourmand or a sybarite, but hard-work-
ing man who takes pride In his middle-class
EXTRACTION and puts on nothing of what the
English call side" His mission to South
Africa is Of a very practical kind, and when
he lands he will be overwhelmed with bust
ness. Inspecting a waste with view Of
making 1t blossom again; comforting with
the leaders Of people who have been taught
to regard him as a sort of monster; confer
ring with his own people, who fancy they
know enough to shape his action and will
try to do so-these activities make up a pro-
gram which does not suggest a downy
couch or an elaborate bill OF fare II he Is
to enjoy himself at all therefore during his
absence from home It must be while he Is
on the way to the cape.
The state IN which Mr.. Chamberlain tray
els goes OF course with his great office. The
trip is in every way unusual. 1t has not
happened before that an English official Of
his grade and consequence has set out on
mission OF good will toward a conquered
people and the purpose in the elaborate
preparations Is probably to impress the
stranger and at the same time compliment
him. A special commissioner in shirt sleeves
and living on ham sandwiches would be but
coldly received even by so plain and PRINT
tive people as the Beers. And let US hope
that the mission may be successful, and
that as the result Of It South Africa under
the British flag may become one of the
most prosperous sections Of the British en-
pire.

Kansas and Populism.

The Emporla, Kansas, Gazette, a republic
can newspaper. approves of the decision Of
Senator Harris to be known in future as a
democrat, and adds:
There Is not In all the Congressional Di-
rectory of the United States the word pop
ulist. This Is as it should be. Harris has
been in the democratic caucus and has
worked with the democrats for five years.
There Is nothing OpprobriouS in the name.
The democrats will nominate German or
Hill for the presidency, and the populists
will vote for him. The fellows who see
nothing good In the republican party will
not hesitate to line up as democrats. There
will be no peoples party name on the Off
cial ballot next year unless it is put on by
petition. and If the peoples party nomi-
mates a candidate for President in 1904 the
electors in Kansas can't go on the ballot
unless by petition. And this is the end of
the stirring days Of Singin' Jones of Butler,
and Dunkin' Of Punkin, and Levi Dunn
BAUD. and the great mob Of shirt-tal rang
ers. who rose up and threatened to eat UP
Wall street raw without pepper or salt
The disappearance Of the western popu-
lists affords. indeed. an interesting theme.
Eight IN ten Of them had come out of the
republican party. and while they lived they
made themselves heard far and near. They
were very confident that the policies Of that
party were responsible for the hard condi-
duced. and they held quite as earnestly that
not until those policies were changed would
corn grow in abundance again and prices
go up. They set themselves to work, there
fore, to supplant the republican party with
an organization of their own
They achieved some local successes al the
polls. They sent some strong and notable
men into retirement. Mr.. ingalls, was q
victim. They introduced some strange men
to the national notice. But they did not in
fluence national legislation in the slightest.
Not policy they advocated was Endorsed
by Congress- They contributed somewhat
to the overthrow of the republicans in 1892,
but when that party returned to power in
1897 the policies to which the populists had
so strenuously objected were put in force
again, and they have been in force ever
since. .:-r. ,..-
Strangest OF all to relate, however. Is the
fact that under those policies the farmers
have greatly prospered, and are now among
the most content ed men in the land. They
have lifted their mortgages and established
bank accounts. and the gold standard and
protection no longer have any terrors for
them.
But 1t Is little early to predict. as this
Kansas paper does. what will take place in
1904. The friends of either Mr.. German or
Hill in the east would be glad to share this
Kansas confidence as to the narrowing
down of the fight for the democratic presi-
Dental nomination. As they see the situa-
ton, there are other strong men in the
equation. and the platform Is not at all
likely to attract any man who ever advo-

The Color Line in Politics.

The Presidents letter to an unnamed
South Carolinian and Booker Washington's
card to an Alabama newspaper, which ap-
pear in print today have relation to the
same general subject. and are communica-
lions of general interest.
The President could not with credit to
himself have withheld his views, and he
could not have expressed them more clearly
or frankly. There has been persistent eff
fort for some months to misrepresent and
embarrass him on the question Of the color
line in politics, and 1t was time for him to
put SIN end to so shabby an industry. That
he has done so with this letter we may
easily believe. 1t will not be possible in fu-
ture for the so-called Lily Whites of the
south to claim him as an indorser Of their
policy. or for the colOred men Of the north
to charge him with an abandonment of the
principle of the equality of all men before
the law. He stands, by his own express
declaration, for what his party has stood
since the electorate was enlarged; and
neither local prejudice on the part of his
political opponents nor stiffness on the
part of few members of his own party
will affect his attitude.
Mr.. Washington likewise has been the
victim of some misrepresentation, and he
he not when requested give his views on
the subject Of fit men for public office?
How does that initiate against his useful
ness as an educator? He is a resident Of
the south. he possesses unusual facilities for
gauging the temper of the people there,
both white and black, and nobody doubts
his desire to help promote the general good.
Fancy such a man, when asked his opinion
about this appointment or that, hanging
back and intimating to the President of the
United States that he ought not to be con-
suited about such matters! Properly
enough. Mr.. Washington when consulted
has given his best opinion to the President.
and there is nothing whatever to show that
his recommendations have in any case been
otherwise than worthy of acceptance.
The President, with every reason, flouts
the stupid old cry of negro domination. He
knows, as every other Intelligent man does,
that the negroes will never dominate any
section OF the country, and that to with
hold from the worthy Of the race an en-
couraging recognition of their advancement
would be to commit an act OF shortsight-
edness and injustice. Willing as some
publicans are to commit that act he refuses.

The Winter Wind.

Rafting at the window pane,
Silent now, then up again
Trying every bolt and bar;

How he struggles to get in
Like some plundering sprits Of sini
How he snarls when held at bay,
Longing for his living prey;
How he shrieks with laughter wild
When he sees some half-clad childi
Vince you! Feel the stormi
Let US hasten where tits warm,
For 30 flercely comes the chill
With It's bitter, biting thrill;

American cities, notably Philadelphia, as

could not be ignored. In Philadelphia raids
were ordered upon certain conspicuously
disorderly places. and complete proof OF the

Danger In Poisons.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer

1t Is lamentabie that neither repeated
warning nor sad experience seems to have
the desired effect Of making the ordinary
person cautious In the use Of poisons. In
the last few days three children have died
carelessly left within their reach. One
would suppose that such accidents would
by this time have become almost impossi.
BILE, yet they are constantly recurring with
frequency that demands further warming
If parents would learn to keep poisons in q
place where they could not be reached by
others there would be fewer accidents
1t lie the old principle of familiarity breed
ing contempt. 1t cannot be too strongly
impressed upon everyone that the oniy
immunity from danger is through constant
care and precaution. 1t Is a lesson that
needs to. be imprs1ed upon every individual
without exception.

have not built any vessels for the navy; but
If the usual large proportion of the firms
that ask for plans shall submit bids, the
choice of the winner will be more difficult

the cruisers will be built properly. and that
IL skill can achieve 1t, they will be as sue
