THE ISSUE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The Republicans of Kentucky have in their
platform set an example for all the party or
ganiZations of the country by making the en-
forcement of law a political issue Their de-
nunciation Of assassination and lawlessness,
whether in Servia or Kentucky, as destructive
'of civilization" and their call upon the en-
frightened intelligence Of the State through its
executive legislative and judicial agencies to
employ remedies to re-establsh order and pun
'ish crimes" have primary reference to the
feuds which have created reign of terror IN
some parts Of the State The denunciation how
ever, would be equally pertinent were it di-
rected against other manifestations of violence
and a lawless spirit which are seen with in.
creaSing frequency in all sections Of our coun-
try. The recent Wilmington burning, the Evans
Vile riots, the boycott of guardsmen for doing
their duty in suppressing those riots, the un-
numbered Southern lynchings the threats of
lynchings just heard IN New-York and NeW,Jer-
sey-undoubtedly melted by the example of
mob rule elsewhere-the common notion of
every body Of men, whether angry farmers
chasing a negro labor unionists menacins
a ''srab," that they have a sort of divine
license to override law for the sake Of their
holy cause. be IL white supremacy or the adj
vancement OF labor, all point to the need of a
revival a conversion, change Of heart among
our people which shall bring us back as ma
ton TO our old reverence for law and ordered
liberty.
One way to secure this revival is to make
enforcement of law a political issue and give
to all our officials mandate to use all their
powers TO stamp out lawlessness which they
will not misunderstood This need not be made
a bone OF party contention. We should hope to
see Democratic as well as Republican conven-
tions declare for vigorous and unbending main
tenance OF order. Doubtless a majority of
voters in both parties everywhere deplore an
archy and mob rule. They need to make their
sentiments known. They need to make the issue
and see how many people there are who take
contrary view. Let those who are unwilling to
see mobs put down and assassins punished
make their platforms and In turn call on their
officials not TO interfere with feuds or lynch
ings. Force the boycotters of faithful militia
men and the time servers who urge that lynch
ers should not be prosecuted as murderers to
go before the people fairly and squarely asking
a mandate in accordance with their policy
Then our officials will know # they are expect
ed 10 use their legal powers to the utmost to
maintain order, or l. our government with its
New-York tribune., 1903-07-19

impartial man must admit that the War Depart
ment has had wonderful success 1t has brought
order out of chaos in three widely separated
territories, each with conditions differing radi-
cally from those encountered in the others: and
it has done this with strict regard for interna-
tlonal obligations, the requirements Of the na-
tive populations and the limitations of our own
national system The task was much more diff
cult for our War Department than it would
have been for the military authorities Of almost
any other power, but the department has shown
that this nation is not inferior to others in abil
ity to deal with great problems which confront
it, and, moreover, that 1t can In perfect con-
formity to our system, adapt its authority to the
situation of strange peoples unable to share our
institutions
Cuba is now an independent nation. Porto
Rico, with local self-goyernment, is growing
happy and prosperous. The Philippines have
been pacifed, and civil government has taken
the place of military rule. In all these regions
the foundations for the present law were the
systems worked out by the War Department
under the difficulties spoken of by Mr.. Magoon.
The general adoption of its laws by the succeed
ing authorities is impressive tribute to the
learning, insight and patriotism of the men in
Washington and in the islands who represented
the sovereignty of the United States TO people
with differing customs and set up in the midst
Of arms the institutions of peace and liberty.

A DOUBLE VICTORY.

At the Bisley contest for the Palma trophy
the American team won double victory. They
captured the prize, and one of their number,
Sergeant ]. II. Keough made the best score,
with 206 points out of possible 225. This is
certainly gratifying to every American, and
particularly to those whose generosity made it
possible to send a team to England but 1t
should not be looked upon as indicative of our
superiority as a nation of marksmen. Dr. W. q.
Hudson in writing on the subject recently, said
that one of the most unfortunate ideas that
"have ever prevailed is that so often heard ex-
pressed in the words: The Americans are
nation of rihemen.'" That the Americans were
good rifemen once upon time there can be no
doubt. But that was when the rife was the
means of food supply, and, as the writer face
tiously says, it was also "a means Of prevent
ling premature badness through the efforts Of
"the then ubiquitous Indian"
But with the growth of the country the Amer
ican's skill as a rifeman suffered, and we are no
longer a nation Of Piaemen. The necessity for
good craftsmanship is recognized, however, by
men in and out Of the military service, and per-
formances like those at Bisley show that there
are Americans who are ambitious to win for
their countrymen, armed with modern weapons,
the title which their fathers earned with the
oidtime gun. Groups of these men may be
found all over the country, but there are not
enough of them.
Knowing that success in modern battles de-
pends largely on the craftsmanship of the SOL
diers, and that every citizen is a possible SOL
der, practice with the rifle cannot be encour-
aged too much, and the men who contribute
toward maintaining rifle teams or sending them
TO contests where their skill may be tested de-
serve the thanks of the people. Without them
victories like the one at Bisley would be i'm
possible.
The trophies which are brought home by the
victorious marksmen become doubly valuable
when their capture stimulates the ambition of
other men to keep up the good work.
New-York tribune., 1903-07-19

ordered machinery for the protection of rights
and the punishment of wrongs, is fiction like
the old forms of the Roman republic in the time
Of the Caesars.
Who can doubt as to the result of squarely
making this issue with barbarism? We should
have an overwhelming vote for law Once hx
attention upon it, and each party would hasten
TO put itself on the right side more strongly
than its opponent At present officials are too
often afraid to enforce law vigorously because
the mob or the sympathizers with the mob seem
to be a more active political force than the
friends Of order The law-abiding element Is In
different, and fails TO support faithful officer
at all hazards. The lynchers or other rioters
are aggressive, and he fears them. though ne
may know they are really in the minority.
Therefore unequiVocal declarations in favor OF
the enforcement of law and political campaigns
which commit parties and their candidates un-
mistakably to such enforcement by whichever
means may be necessary would give renewed
courage to officials and renewed efficiency to
the instruments of government. AT the same
time such campaigns would serve notice upon
the lawlessly inclined which they would be
likely to heed. They have been indulging their
appetite with increasing frequency because they
have thought they had a sort of popular Ii
cense. Give them a warning to the contrary
by great national demand for order, and fol-
low it up If need be with one OF two sharp re-
minders that the demand was serious and is
being needed by officials and they will go about
their business thereafter, being careful not to
offend

LAST ORDERS SECRECY.
Whistler Did Not Want Nezcs of
HIS Death GiUen Ont

London July 1s.-The last instructions given
by James McNein Whistler before his death YES
terday afternoon at his home in Chelsea were
quite characteristic OF the man. Newspa ner
men who called at the house to-day were in
formed that the artist had left strict instruc
tions that no information whatever regarding
his illness or death should be given either to his
friends or the newspapers.
1t has been nearly year since Mr.. Whistler
shut up his beautiful studio in the Rue du Bac,
Paris, and came to live again in London. Dur
ing the interval he seldom returned to the Paris
whereof he was so fond. He lived in an old
house which he formerly occupied in Cheyne
Walk, Chelsea. 1t is a picturesque building
facing the Thames. and is ovargrown with creep
ers. The studio is at the back OF the house.
Whistler's friends could not imagine why he
returned to London. as ne diSliked the place and
it's climate. and despised English art. He had
been in very bad health ever since he returned
to England. He suffered from some internal
complaint. He went occasionally to dinner par
ties with friends, but gradually led a more and
more secluded life. The exact nature OF his
complaint is not known. He grew rapidly worse
a few days ago and died suddenly yesterday.

THE ARMY As 4 CIVIL RULER.

Probably few Americans, even among those
who take pride in their couptry's recent achieve
ments, have any conception of the complicated
character of the work done by the War Depart
ment in the administration Of civil government
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines They
realize that for the establishment of our au-
thority difficult campaigns had to be fought in
some places. They appreciate dimly the trouble
which our officials have had in understanding
the character OF strange peoples and learning
how TO use their powers wisely. But for the
most part their idea Of civil government by mill
tary authorities is that soldiers exercise ire
spOnsible power without regard to precedent.
The commander is supposed 10 do in an offhand
way whatever he wants to do. and if he does
anything that his critics at home do not know
the precedent for then he will be denounced
q military despot. In the July number of
''Scribner's Magazine Charles L. Magoon, the
very competent law officer of the Bureau of In
sular Affairs in the War Department, has an
Illuminating article on the work OF civil admin
istration by the military authorities which will
go far TO remove these erroneous impressions
and show with what serupulous care the War
Department has harmonized American law and
local institutions and adapted the principles of
liberty to the actual needs of the people under
its control.
y
new thing for the United States Half of the
criticism of so-called Imperialism has been due
10 utter ignorance. Acts which were declared
TO be tyrannical and unconstitutional were based
on precedents half a century or even century
old, only we had had no new territories to deal
with for so long a time that many persons had
forgotten them and had come to think there
could be no sound constitutional law except that
with which they were familiar We had had
civil governments under the military establish
ment IN Louisiana, Florida, California, New
Mexico and in the rebellious States at the time
Of the Civil War. These administrations fur
nished precedents for the insuIar work. and
when utterly new problems demanded settle
ment the old principles were faithfully looked
TO for guidance in devising methods new in de-
tail. Mr.. Magoon says:
Many problems raised new or long forgotten
questions as 10 the character Of the federal
government, the nature and extent of the
the extent of its authority at home and abroad
It was necessary 10 ascertain and observe prece-
dents IN dealing with unprecedented situations
and duly regard a long line OF judicial decisions
touching, but not meeting, the issue involved.
Different civilizations. different systems Of law
and procedure. and different modes of thought
brought into contact evolved great crowd OF
difficult questions.
When the number and Importance of these
difficult questions are taken into account every

Fresh rumors are being circulated to the effect
that Marconi has improved wireless telegraphy
in such a way as to render poles and towers
needless More than two years ago he described
in lecture in London a plan for using short,
hollow cylinders of aluminium some other
metal as a substitute for vertical wires. AS
the erection Of the Poldhu, Glace Bay and
Cape Cod structures has taken place since that
announcement was made, it looks as IL the
scheme then outlined was not perfectly salts
factory. Possibly he has since hit upon an
other. AS there is growing conviction in the
minds Of experts that the greater part Of the
energy which operates in wireless telegraphy
is conducted by the earth, provision for lateral
radiation through the air would seem to be
unnecessary. After all. the art is yet In
rather crude state Of development.

The explanation given by DR.. L. o. Howard,
entomoIogist of the Department. of Agriculture.
of the superabundance of mosquitoes in some
of the Eastern States contains a grain of COM
fort. He attributes the excess to the abnormal
rainfall of last month, which created an un-
usually large number of small pools in which
these insects could breed. He thus leaves one
free to hope that another year the crop may be
smaller and that the efforts now being made
to externinate the pest may be more fruitful
