MIR. Hanna and the Human Race.

In an address delivered in Cleveland in
calculation Of the Civic Federation, Of
which he ia chairman, the Hon. MARCUS
ALoNzo HANNA scorned the unworthy
insinuations of some Of his political adj
versaries and asserted the high purpose
of universal ameioration for which the
Civic Federation lives
They say that my connection with this organiza-
ton Is for political purposes. but cant help their
saying 1t. l know what am doing II for. Every
man who has the interest OF his country at hea n
should aid In any movement which has for its pur-
pose the bctterng OF the economic condition Of the
human race"
Mr.. HANNA's adversaries rage in vain
Bare of political intention as his labors
for the betterment Of the economic con-
dition of the human race are, he still
carries on his political business at the
old stand The Hon. Tom JOHNSON and
every other politician who has a crow
to pick with the chairman Of the Civic
Federation will find that he has not
given up to mankind that share Of poiti-
cal acumen and activity which he has
been in the habit Of bestowing upon the
Republican party in general, and Ohio
and Cuyahoga county in particular. The
economic condition OF the human race
will not occupy all his time by long
shot.

Two Gentlemen of California

The appeal to the District Attorney to
deal in terms of exemplary severity with
the Brooklyn contractors who paid cash
to end a strike is very instructive They
are rich men and they paid thousands
of dollars to the walking delegates and
thereby revealed themselves as gvers Of
brides. Their guilt was consequently so
heinous that the acts of the men who ex-
torted the money were venial, if not in
deed actually creditable.
This brings to mind the incident of the
two California gentlemen who stopped a
stage coach, forced the passengers to
part with their valuables, and then laid
an information against their victims in
the county court for bribery.
The fact that this incident ia nowhere
recorded does not in the least impair its
pertinence.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir Your
editorial Of the 4th inst. on the pursuit by the
New York Police Department of fallen women
in that city goes straigbter to the mark than
anything that | have ever seen printed on
the question. 1t should be read and pondered
by every self-respecting. thinking man and
woman
Having resided in New York city for a
number Of years. l have closely observed
the effects Of the notorious Parkhurst raids
on these unfortunate outcasts. Instead OF
eliminating the evil. they only served to
disseminate it. making the last condition
tenfold worse than the first.
1t is time that the disgraoeful preying upon
these miserable creatures by the police should
cease. No good has ever come from it. and
II a better method Of dealing with 1t cannot
be found. let them alone. Fl. j. d.

forty-four stars!" shows that he recognizes
the great importance to the Papacy OF the
Catholic Church here. OF course, Catholic
growth in the United States has been due
chiefly to the immigration Of Catholics,
at this time greater than ever before be-
cause, more especially, of the food of South
ern Italians now pouring into this port;
but that really wonderful growth teaches
also an impressive lesson to the Papacy,
the lesson that tho Roman Catholic Church
is advancing most in the country whose
political system separates it absolutely
from the State and compels IL TO rely on
spiritual agencies and influences only for
the propagation OF its faith.

BARKERS FLEET ON THE WATCH.


BAR HARBoR. Me-, Aug. s,--Admiral
Barkers defensive war fleet is not far from
Bar Harbor i'm its watch for Admiral Sands's
attacking feet. Two despatch tugs came
in to-day from the defenders to get the mail
and kilograms for the various boats, so
that it is thought that Admiral Barker is
somewhere near Mount Desert rock, twenty
five miles out to sea from here. This point
is 100 miles from Eastport, the eastern
extremity OF the coast to be defended, and
1875 miles from Gloucester. the other extreme.
From this point both ends can most easily
be defended, as the enemy must be in a
harbor for six hours and it is figured that
the Blue fleet will sight them before they
get In. Eight or nine hours would almost
be sufficient time for Admiral Barker s
fighting force to get to any harbor that ia
to be defended.
II Admiral Sands, however, gets into
one Of the extreme ports without being dis
covered, he is pretty sure of victory.
A place near here that is being watched
with close attention is Somes Sound. This
is deep channel, about seven miles long
and three-quarters of a mile wide. III a
fleet gets in there it would be pretty sure to
remain hidden for six hours. especially in q
fog.
During his stay in the harbor Admiral
Sands made very careful study Of this
sound, going up it on the destroyer De-
catur. The advantage in time of war in
holding this sound would be that the ap-
proach to the coaling station could he cut
on, and communications could readily
be established with the mainland. A
sharp watch is being kept at the entrance
to this harbor. Several times to-day the
Newport and the Hartford have been sighted
from the cliffs along the shore here.
The defence is trying to establish tele-
graphic line from Bakers Island, Late
this afternoon a signal flag was placed on
top Of Green Mountain, the highest point
along the Atlantic coast. The flag was
on the Coast Survey staff, which is at the
highest point on the mountain General
interest is being taken here just now in
the weather. and for the first time in the re-
membrance Of the Oldest seamen people are
wishing for fog 1t looks as though it
were coming. There has been a heavy
bank of fog way out, and the wind tonight
has been shifting toward the eastward:
A good east wind will blow the fog in. and
with it many think will come the feet OF the
enemy.

LESS MEAT GOES no GERMANY.
Falling or In Dur Exports Since Inspection
Law Went Into Effect.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The enforcement
Of the German Meat Inspection law, which
went into effect on April Of this year, is
having a marked effect on the importation Of
meats into Germany from the United States.
Consul-General Guenther writes from
Frankfort that only little more than seven
tons of hams were imported from the United
States in Apri! and Nav this year, as against
282 tons in the same period of 1902.
The imports OF bacon decreased in the
same months from / ,749 tons to 81 tons.
The fresh beef imports into Germany In
April and May were only 1902 tons, az
against 2,i5O tons in the san months Of
last year. and the fresh PORK imports only
938 TONS as against 1883 tons
The United States Consul at Beirut writes
that the Turkish Government has removed
the prohibition against the importation Of
American pork products into Turkey.

The New Pope.

From religious point of view the
members of the Conclave could not have
chosen more wisely, when they raised
Cardinal SARTo TO the pontifical throne,
had they, from the outset, been guided
exclusively, as they are presumed to be,
by the highest spiritual motives. Car
dinals are. men, and their acts are some-
times prompted by loyalty to personal
friendships, or by wish to assure tho
triumph of particular politics. When
they find themselves, however, engaged
in the most solemn and momentous func-
ton that they are ever called upon to
exercise, all minor and mundane consid-
erations are apt ultimately to give way
to supreme, overmastering desire to
promote the welfare OF the Catholic
Church and Of mankind. This, at all
events, may be said of the last three
Papal elections. In Cardinal SARTo the
Sacred College has found a worthy sue
cessor of PIUs TX. and LEO XIII. 1t is
the testimony of all who know him that
the Roman hierarchy includes no more
exemplary embodiment Of piety and
loving kindness PIUs X. is sure to be a
good Pope, whether or no he shall prove
a great one.
1t Is, nevertheless, impossible that
statesmen, thoroughly alive to the ire
mendous influence that the new Pope
can exercise, should refrain from trying
to forecast the course which he is likely
to pursue with refercm~e to political and
sociological questions. What position will
be taken by PIUs X. with regard to the
Italian monarchy, or, in other words,
to the claim OF the Papacy, nAexibly
upheld by his predecessors. to restera-
ton Of it's temporal power? What will
be his attitude toward France, which has
recently expelled the educational relig-
ious orders, and In which the abolition
of the Concordat liz threatened? How
will he endeavor to avert similar move
ment in Spainr What will be the rela-
ton of the Church under his pontiflcate
to tho civil power In Germany? On this

E4;s Place on Police Force and Tells
Why,


John Wilson, the colored police
man against whom charges were

who was exonerated by the city coun.
ell has resigned. When seen by
reporter he said: 81 was about four
years ago appointed to this position
by Mayor Alexander, and have since
that time continuously served on the
police force, and have done all ir
my power to make the city and eff
cient officer. many times at the hax
ard Of my own life. was with Mr.
Pickett when he was shot down, ant
captured one of the Voolfolk boys
who, at the time. made every effor'
to kill me. I could mention many 9th
er instances which themselves speal
for my faithfulness as an officer
When the city council investigated
the charges brought against me ani
completely exonerated me, l felt that
the matter was finally settled, but
upon seeing Mayor White today
charges against me regardless of the
action of the council. So, realizing the
fact that it is impossible for any one
and for colored man more especial
ly, to give satisfaction in any kind OF
service when those under whom he
must serve are not unanimous in thei
friendship toward him as an employe
and fully in accord with his efforts
to serve them, I thought it best tC
resign. 1t has never been my desire
to arrest white people, and, in fact
have never done SO when white Off
GERS could be had, unless especially
directed to do so. I was born ant
reared in Pine Bluff, and have at al
times endeavored to conduct myself
both as citizen and as an officer in
a manner not offensive to any clas:
Of people, and l believe the white
and colored people of the city whf
have known me longest and best will
testify to this fact
His resignation is as follows:
