The City's Unsafe Streets.

Affairs are becoming serious when high
way robberies are attempted in the very
heart of the city, in the business streets
Last night, at an hour when there were
numerous pedestrians within close call.
woman was gripped by a negro on 9th
street between G and H. Thanks to the
victims plucky defense the man was held
OF until he was frightened by rescuers
VINO ran TO the woman's assistance. He
did not succeed in obtaining her purse
Previous outrages of this character
during the present crime wave have oc-
CURED in the suburbs or the parks. Here
however, is a case which suggests that the
police are either not on the alert or that
the desperadoes are growing holder or more
crafty. The situation is becoming alarming.
Until this wave subsidies, or sufficient
patrolmen are provided to reduce the dam
ger. the safe rule is for women to keep off
the streets after dark unless they are &C
companied by escorts They should avoid
the darker streets, with or without escorts.
They should not carry purses handbags or
reticules in manner to attract the at
tention Of footpads.
or course no degree of caution can pre-
vent such thefts as that committed yester-
day morning in Anacostia. where q woman
was robbed in her own house in daylight
by man who lay there in wait for her.
But such occurrences are not likely to be-
come frequent. The chief precaution to be
taken is to avoid appearing on the streets
after nightfall save in the company of men
who are capable OF putting up a good de-
Tense If attacks are made.
Meanwhile, the demand for the prompt
passage of the pending bill which enIarges
the police force becomes insistent. 1t has
been for some years obvious TO those who
know the situation here that the number
or patrolmen was too small for the terri
tory to be covered. and Congress has been
asked again and again to increase the
force. Now the demonstration is emphatic.
AND II Congress does not grant the required
relief some means should be adopted
whereby the patrolling force may be re-
stored to Its proper size through the relief
from special details Of the scores Of men
now serving as guards and clerks and in
spectors.

The French Situation

The French elections for the chamber of
deputies will be held next Sunday, and
the government is apparently straining
every nerve to hold down the agitators
until the ballots have been cast. The
show OF strength last Tuesday sufficed to
check the tendency toward riotous demon
stration and gave the ministry time to re-
cuperate from the loss of prestige involved
In the temporizing policy of the past few
weeks. The chief anxiety now Is to pre-
serve order throughout the voting period,
so that there may be no question as to the
result. II is not denied that there is the
keenest concern in the turn of the tide of
popular sentiment. The political situa ton
IS already badly mixed and is likely to be-
come more so in view of the breaking down
of the party or group lines caused by the
Injection of new issues into the case. The
attempts of the prior administration to en-
force the law for the taking of inventories
split new openings in the partisan bodies
and caused strange alliances to he formed.
Now the acute labor troubles have con-
trlbuted their share to the confusion, and
no one can confidently foretell the complex
ion of the new chamber to be chosen day
after tomorrow. radical chamber, lean
ing strongly toward socialism, may cause
serious trouble for France in the near
future.

form again before November. No inharmo-
NOUS party can hope to defeat them. The
Hearst racket In New York and now this
Taggart racket in Indiana are not promising
for democratic success. Rival candidates
and rival committees representing the Bit

Taggart has always had his troubles at
home. This is no first or sudden eruption

strong men of the party fought shy of the
national craftsmanship, and 1t went to him
somewhat by default. Installed In the place,
he did all he could-made headquarters

running fire of good stories which set every
body to laughing instead of to thinking.

Standard Oil and Railroad Rates.

The Presidents message, based upon re-
mort of Commissioner Garfield, on the sub
1ect of favoritism shown by railroads in the
matter of freights to the Standard OIL Com
pany serves a double purpose. 1t adds
chapter to the unsavory history of that
giant monopoly, and 1t helps still further to
illuminate the question with which the Sen
ate now is wrestling.
Everything known in connection with the
Standard Oil Company stamps it as law
breaker Its foundations were laid in grind
ing outrage, and its fortunes have risen by
the same means. These latest developments
are on all fours with the rest. Trick rates
and rebates for its products. in defiance of
the law and at the expense of other COM
panies, tell a story easily accepted. What
was the Elkins law to corporation which
had never obeyed any law? And so the
law was violated. rates were obtained which
prevented competition. and large territories

England-where as a rule business is regu-
lated upon a conservative basis was thus
bound hand and foot and laid at the door
of the Standard oil Company.
Now that exposure has come the abuses
have been stopped. But how long will they
remain stopped unless steps are taken
against their possible renewal? The law as
1t now stands did not prevent them. nor, II
unstrengthened, would it prevent their re-
newal. The Rockefeller crowd are not to
be trusted when II comes to promises, or
matters of fair play, but must be held to
the strictest accountability by statutes of

the ideal fence is one that is horse high,
bull strong and pig tight, so will that rail-
road rate bill be about the right thing when
1t checks that feature OF the predatory
schemes Of the Standard Oil Company.
But, although these violations of law have
for time at least. ceased. there Is pen
atty for the offenses committed, and the
country will expect to see the guilty per-
sons punished. For this reason the course
of the Department OF Justice will be

The Case Of Mr.. Barnes.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Local opinion in Washington is much agi-
tated over the treatment by the Senate
postal committee of the case of Mr.. Barnes
It's indignation is reflected in the resolutions
introduced into the Senate by Mr. T'ilIman
1t seems that the local indignation is we'll
founded. Possibly 1t was open to the COM
mittee to assume that charges of wanton
brutality to a woman, for unnecessary Sc
verify in such a case is wanton brutality
and of subsequent misstatement Of the
case do not affect the fitness of candidate
to be postmaster of Washington They
might. on that ground, singular as the
ground may seem, have declined to investi-
gate. But having consented to investigate,
they were surely bound to investigate fairly
and fully. This il is vehemently denied
they have done. OF the half dozen avail
able eye-witn esses of the affair on which
the charge was founded they summoned but
one, or at least they publish the testimony
of but one. ignoring the others. They ac-
cept in effect. the official and ex parte YER
sion of the incident, the accuracy and the
truthfulness of this version being the very
questions at issue. Evidently such matter
should not, and can not. be permitted to re-
main In such condition. Mr.. Tillman is
quite right in insisting that the investiga-
ton shall not be a sham.
The ultimate moral Is that in these United
States, 1t is futile and foolish to attempt
to conceal the facts in any matter of legiti-
mate public interest.

Hobson on the Tariff.
The Boston Herald:

1T is said that Capt. Richmond Pearson
Hobson, in his successful campaign for the
democratic nomination for Congress from
the Birmingham district in Alabama, came
out openly for protection, which he claim ed
to be good enough democratic doctrine for
him. There are some extensive iron mines
In the district. and Hobson probably adj
justed his sentiments to suit them"
Why. certainly. And If Capt. Hobson had
been a candidate for Congress in Massachu-
sets he would have discovered the boot and
shoe trade and adjusted his sentiments to
free hides. Which shows. If anything. that
Capt. Hobson since he left the navy has
been studying politics, and being in politics
Is resolved to do as the politicians do. If he
keeps up that lick he may go far In his new
field and make himself very solid at home.
AS the politicians read the Scriptures, he
who does not know and provide for the
wants of his own people is worse than a
heather.
But there is recent and specific, as well as
old and general authority for this stand of
Capt. Hobson. His leader in the next House
will be John Sharp Williams, who, either as
Speaker or minority general on the floor,
will cut out the tariff work for the demo-
Gratis. If Speaker. Mr.. Williams will ap-
point ways and means committee friendly
to tariff revision. and bill will be brought
In and put through the House If In the
minority again. Mr.. Williams will harry the
republicans as he is now doing, and In that
way put both parties on record for the
presidential campaign.
Now Mr.. Williams but the other day
stated that while his party was still for
tariff for revenue only 1t would be obliged
in any action it might take to "swerve a
little from the IDEAL" This of course was
only to say that the old slogan about cut
ting up protection root and branch would
not IN the coming campaign be raised, but
the charge sounded in a way to bring every
body into line for victory's sake
Very we'll If Mr.. Williams can afford to
"swerve little from the idear so can Cap
tain Hobson; and the captain "swervesp In
the direction of the iron mines of Alabama
"a very sensible "swerve" indeed. and one
likely to repay the swerver for his fore
sight and courage. And there will be
others. When the swerving begins, Just
watch the swervers-the number of them
and the directions they take. When the
democrats get in a swerving way on the
tariff question there Is going to be some

Washington's Destiny.

That Washington is destined eventually to
be one of the most beautiful capitals in the
world Is further demonstrated by the har-
monIous and imposing series of public build
ings that are being erected there. The
House annex. SO called, whose corner stone
was laid yesterday, and the Senate annex,
which Is also in course OF erection, conten-
plate an outlay of $i0,O00.000 In size and
design they are Identical They occupy DO
sitions balanced In their relation to the Cap
itol, and are planned to fit into a general
architectural scheme. The height Of the
buildings has been restricted. that they may
not oyerpower the Capitol, and they are OF
simple yet classic design. The effect OF
these two thanking buildings will be to give
unity to the whole scheme. and emphasizes
enthusiastically the great beauty OF the Cap
itol. all the lines leading UP to and COM
