Chevaliers d'Industrie.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The promoter of the many -millioned syn
dictate often looks down with scorn on the
'get-rich-quick man whose literature is
excluded from the mails. The get-richc
quick genius in turn despises the profess
sionaI gambler who fleeces his patrons at
faro or roulette, and the high-class gam
blers pities the race track tout or the hum
BILE votary of the shell game. Even as
The cOlonels lady and Judy O'Grady
Are sisters under the skin,
SO all these people, some rich and some
poor, some in good society and some out
of it, are brothers under the skin. That
which makes them one is that they all seek
to get riches or living by their wits In
stead of by honest industry. They are not
willing to labor and add to the world 8
stock of wealth. They wish to prey upon
the community: to transfer the wealth OF
other people to their own pockets without
consideration for the other people The
object of all chevaliers dindustrie is to get
hold, by fair promises and unfair dealing,
of wealth which others have created. The
big ones manage to do 1t without coming in
conflict with the law. The little ones are
scoopad up in the net and dumped into the
bait box.

The Richmond Riots.

During the street car rioting down In
richmond day or so ago a motorman
was assailed by mob and struck and
severely hurt with flying missiles He
drew revolver to defend himself and was
a' once arrested by policeman for carry
ing concealed weapons. Yesterday an
armed guard of militiamen under orders
10 protect the property of the traction
company from the fury of the mob re-
sister an attack by the rioters and fred
wounding six persons. The guards were
arrested and charged with assault.
This Is drawing the line of the law en-
tire!y too fine for the health of the COM
munity. Had the officious policeman who
arrested the pistol carrying motorman been
equally active in his search for concealed
weapons he could probably have found
grounds for arresting half of the persons
In the mob which had assailed the en-
pIoye. In fact, the news reports almost
invariably relate that in case where mobs
charge cars pistols fiourished and in
some instances fired by the rioters Yet
very lew arrests are ever made on this
score.
AS for the arrest of the guardsmen who
fred IA the restoration of order 1t would
sasm to- be far more appropriate that the
hand Of the law be laid on the mob. Up
in Pennsylvania during the coal strike last
year 4 national guardsman shot and killed
u man ,who had disregarded the order to
halt approaching building that
was under guard. He was arrested and in
dlcted. but was later released under a
writ OF habeas corpus on the ground that

The suggestion that cats be tagged I'M

governs the ownership of dogs In this COM
munity will meet with emphatic approvai
and disapproval, in accordance WIN the
diverse opinions Of felines entertained ny
different persons. But 1t Is posslple even
for those who admire cats to approve the
idea, the execution of which Will result IN
the execution of large number OF vagrant

tiers of the city. AS the health officer says.
it would be practically difficult to impouno
unlicensed animals for cats have means OF
escaping from the hands of the law whcn
nature has not given to dogs A cat can
scurry over back fences and into IN
credibly small holes in the twinkllng OF an
eve, while the tagless dog must rely solely
upon his legs and wind to carry him out
of the range of the net bearers.
Yet the impartial enforcement of such
a law would naturally lower the cat popu-
lation Families which now delight In the
possession of three or four such pets would
be ruthless in reducing the feline popula-
ton to the point of economy. New genera
lions of cats would be regarded as possible
revenue producers for the District and a
process of evolution, marked by rigid
system of exterminating the least fit, would
follow. The result would be not only a
lessening of the cat population. but gen
eral betterment Of the quality. This alone
would be benefit
Stray cats are a nuisance not only IN
their nocturnal prowlings and yowlings,
but in their constant appeals to the pity
of people. There is something about a
vagrant puss that demands even more than
sympathy. 1t is said that the best cats for
training for circus tricks are the street
tramps cats that have been bred by va
grant parents, with perhaps several gener-
atoms of cat hoboism behind them They
are quick witted and shrewd in the dodg-
ing of missiles and the capturing of food.
Their necessities have made them clever
and thus they are better subjects for the
trainer than the pampered cat of pedigree.
Yet their voices are unmusical and their
ways unpleasant. They must go.

Crime Against the Government.

The Presidents letter to Attorney Cen
eral Knox suggesting the assignment or
special counsel to assist In the prosecution
of the post office cases contains one SEN
tence which sufficiently indicates his view
of the scandals and the Importance OF
probing them to the bottom. 1t Is as fol-
lows:
There can be no greater offense against
the government than breach or trust on
the part of a public official or the dlshonest
management of his Office and, OF course,
every effort must be exerted to bring sucn
offenders to punishment by the utmost
rgor of the law.
Indeed. so grave is the ofrense that there
is a feeling that unusually heavy penalties
should be meted out to those officials and
others who are found guilty of malfeas-
ance. Government is a business enter
prise, but of such character that much
must necessarily be left to the personal
integrity of the official. The man In charge
of a great bureau is intrusted with public
interests which pecuniarily affect him In
an infnitesimal degree. His selfish con-
Germ in the success and good administra-
ton of this trust is in no way comparable
with that of the proprietor Of CONNER
cial establishment, to whom a population
or a laxity the part of subordinate
means a dimnution of profits. Every men,
Der of the force Is supposedly inspired by
a desire to do the best work possible for
the public good. If here and there tndi-
viduals depart from this standard and ex-
cuse their lapses on the ground that no
one directly suffers and that the taxpaying
public can stand the losses, decentralization
is engendered, and if 1t is not checked 1t
leads to the most deplorable results. This
was evidently the case in the Post Office
Department.
The Presidents suggestion of the detail
of extra counsel for the conduct of these
cases includes a virtual instruction that
the prosecution include all guilty men.
whether in the service or not, where the
cases are not barred by the statute of
limitations This is a spirit which the
country will heartily applaud. The puri-
flying process will not be complete If the
inquiry and the prosecutions stop with
those who are caught while in office and
those with whom they have dealt. The
President indicates that the only barrier
to retroactive operations should be the
statute of limitations. There Is a strong
feeling on the part of many people that
in the case Of frauds against the govern
ment there should be no such barrier, but
that 1t should be possible at any time.
upon discovery of fraud and crime, to take
such steps against the guilty persons as the
available evidence permits, regardless OF
the lapse of time.

Newport Fashions.

Newport as a tipster of fashion is a fail
ure. No other city takes it's tips. The
fashions that it would set. violent though
they are. do not strike the public fancy.
OF course, Newport deplores this lack of
appreciation and of sympathy on the part
of the people of the provinces, but If the
seventy million persons" who do not go
to Newport fail to accept the fashion hints
that Newport supplies. then the seventy
million persons are to blame. Newport
does the best it knows how. But it does
not know much.
There was that puppy luncheon at which
every dog had a linen napkin. satin neck
tie. foot bowl and his own particular
chambermaid. These lady and gentleman
dogs behaved just as well as would be ex-
pected from anybody in their set, and the
luncheon was perfectly lovely. But the
fashion did not spread outside of Newport.
The questionable people of other cities
continued to feed their dogs under the table
instead of on the table and to force the
poor pets to gnaw dog biscuits and ham
bones instead of INDUCING in salad and
champagne.
Then there was that monkey dinner. It
was a pleasing fashion. Any man could
drop in and see how he looked when he had
a longer backbone than he wears now But
the fashion was not enthusiastically re-
ceived outside of Newport. It was Nex-
planned. however, that there are probably
more monkeys in Newport than in any
other city.
The next fashion which Newport tried to
give the world was that of young ladies
wearing their hair streaming down the
back" Now, 1t is supposed that the young
ladies of other cities have just as much hair

Democracy!
From the Galveston News.

From the Galveston News
II democracy is still democracy, If the
rightsfof the free private citizens are still
worth fighting for: II too many laws, too
much government. large standing army
public service are bad and not good then
the democratic party should say so, and
proceed to prove it both by word and deed
Members Of the party can not prove all
this by sitting around with their ciamorous
mouths open like so many greedy young
hooking birds. If the party wants issues
all it has to do is to get back to its old
principles and stand by them. In time it
may win by pursuing this course. 1t will
never win by abandoning its principles and
rushing here and there to find something
new and safe and soft to bait and toll the
people with. 1t should appeal to the heads
of the people rather than to their stomachs.

BOYS in the Mob.

Two Of the six persons shot by the SOL

boys twelve years of age. They must
have been in the front of the crowd when
the guards fired. This is a deplorable fact.
attesting to the unrepresentative character
of the mob and to the laxity with which
children are held In control during times
of great public excitement. A twelve-year-
old boy was the only person wounded in
the attack on the Wilmington workhouse
the other night when the negro ravisher
was lynched Probably there were many
others among the 5000 people assembled
to participate in and to observe the tragedy.
The small boy Is everywhere. He Is an

where he can see what is going on. He in
sists upon getting everything at first hand
and he knows that If he stands back he
can nothing and must hear OF hap
penings through the lips of others. This
accounts for his presence wherever dan
gerous happenings are in progress. Parents,
knowing this tendency of the youngsters to
get into danger, should take extra precau-
tons whenever public turmoil prevails to
keep their boys at home.
1t Is perilouS enough for adults to be on
the streets. especially near the scene of
possible rioting. and good citizenship de-
mands that every law-abiding person keep
