Sunday Washington globe., 1902-05-25


local knights of the quill, as well as their
mold upon him, there will be some startling
revelations. Then the public will learn
among other things that Sergeant Phil.
Browne was mercilessly sacrificed TO satisfy
the demands of persons whose crookeduess
he felt 1t his duty to expose. When it leaks
out that the charges on which he was tried
had been abandoned for two years, that in
the meantime he was promoted and that
the charges had no more connection with
what he was overthi own for, than they had
with the assassination Of Lincoln, a wave of
indignation will shake this city from center
to circumference and sweep the majestic
high'iiier before it like a reed before a
cyclone. Sincerely and respectfully,
ALBERT NJ. RAYMOND (Artistl.
ZOO Seventeenth street N. f."
''His remarkable exercise of power over
the public press" is where we take excep-
tion to Mr.. Raymond's artistic roast inso-
far as the SUNDAY GLOBE is concerned. If
Mr.. Raymond will recall the fact, the GLOBE
was the only newspaper in Washington
which condemned the assaults of its con.
temporaries on Lieutenant Daley for his
very proper release from arrest of Repre-
sentative Belmont.
Addressing Commissioner Ross on the
subject of Mr.. Belmont's arrest and the
arrests of Representative Fitzgerald, Sena-
tors Money and Clark, Mr.. Raymond says
in his leaaet:
Here It is fitting to remark, that no one
knows better tina n yourself Mr.. Ross that
there is no man on the police force to-day
more in touch with the public than Iieuten-
aut Daley, and that it is attributable to
faithful and proficient service rendered in
the ranks as well as to his sterling Qualities
that single him out as a man who was born
to command, not by force, but bv exem-
plary virtues that inspire confidence and
good will. Those who know him best think
that few have as much of the cream of com
mon sense in their make up as he has.
They know too that the laurels by which he
reached his present position were not OBJ
tanned through ways of pleasantness or
along paths of peace. You with others
have watched him, as it were, pressing fear
lessly onward in the line of duty, through
paths blocked with every obstacle that tie
worst rabble element could throw in his way;
he has went on undismayed by the SCOTS
of jealous superiors; he has staggered under
a hre Of vitriol; he has forced his way into
one illegal rum shop after another, facing
mob after mob, and has often maintained
an arrest under a shower Of stones bottles,
and other dangerous missiles.
Such men, Mr.. Ross, never shirk duty
they do not have to be partial to obtain any
mans support; they do not stoop to abuse
OF power that distinguishes between the
rich and the poor. They do not have to be-
stow favors to obtain influence. Such men
command this by doing their duty openly,
honestly, and fearlessly"
All of which Mr.. Raymond the GLOBE
indorses and the substance of which it
stated at the time of Mr.. Belmont's release
by Lieutenant Daley.
Touching the opposition to the establish
ment of National Bureau of Identification
and the appropriation requested from Con-
gress for the same, Mr.. Raymond narrows
his broad philanthropy somewhat. The
necessity for such bureau is apparent and
an advanced step in the right direction of
dealing with the professional criminal.
Mr.. Raymond's peppery remarks on the
chief OF police and his intimations of some
serious revelations when the mystery of
the majors hold on the public press is re-
vealed, interests us dramatically, as it were
Ii Mr.. Raymond has any inside information
on that subjec the columns of the GLOBE
are open to him without fear or favor on
the part of its editor Of either Major Syl-
vester, the District Commissioners, and the
whole push" Smoke up now Mr.. Ray
mond and let the public hear from you.
No necessity for printing leaflets when a
newspaper read by everybody, as the GLOBE
is, offers you free space.
