Prevalence of Perjury.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

rTum tHe Euliaueipuld LeuBer.
That the editor of weekly that has at
tained of late pre-eminent station of dis
repute is about to answer to the charge
of perjury is mere incident among cur
rent events. A New York judge has de-
clined to permit the use of the Bible In the
administration of an oath in his court. be-
cause he accepts In advance the certainty
that perjury will be committed by the wit
ness, and regards the form as dissertation
Of the sacred book. That perjury, the vio-
lation of a sworn pledge to tell the truth,
to tell all of it. and nothing else. Is COM
mitted in every trial there is no reason to
doubt. Some people cannot differentiate
truth and falsehood; others. from motives
of interest, decline to recognize the differ
ence. To what extent the leniency of the
courts is responsible for the extent of this
evil it would be impossible to state def
initely In many instances there Is moral
certainty that a witness has lied. and yet
no legal proof. Yet verdict after verdict Is
reached in which the jury has to waive GER
tain testimony in the belief, not expressed
but implied, that 1t is not true. There Is
no judicial habit of summoning perjured
witnesses to bar. They are permitted to
go unrebuked despite the fact that perjury
is one of the most dangerous of crimes
that by 1t innocent men may be deprived of
property, liberty. or even Of life.

A Local mSlashern

The possibility that a, "slasher' is at work
in this city, suggested by the recent ex-
perience of a woman in one of the, city
stores. should cause the police force to be
exceptionally alert to detect any such form
of degenerate property destruction. The
outbreak of mysterious stabbing of women
in St Louis this winter has thrown that
community into tremor of apprehension.
Washington has had one experience with a
dress slasher and desires no more, and il
by keen watchfulness by pIain-clothes po-
licemen. stationed in the stores and theater
Hobbies and other places where wor1en con-
gregate in numbers, the miscreant who has
already given a sign of activity here can be
captured that end is earnestly to be desired.
The women can greatly aid in this effort
by noting closely the faces of men who
conduct themselves strangely in their vi
entity and acting promptly to give warning
whenever they find that they have been in
this peculiar manner made the object or

The Caucus and the Treaty.

1t is not at all likely that Senator Pat
terson, or Senator McEnery. or Senator
Anybodyelse, Will be read out of the demo-
cratic party because OF this caucus action on
the Dominican treaty. In the first place
the party has no superiority of senator's.
and none to waste; and in the second place
the question in hand is not one properly for
caucus action Partisanship stops at the
seashore. To press 1t further is to employ
the mildest term. a mistake. The demo-
Gratis OF the Senate should hold together on
questions purely political. for that is the
way TO play the game. And the country
always benefits in one way or another from
n healthy. vigorous. legitimate opposition
party. But to oppose merely to oppose; to
take the other side always as a habit and

horses. while the human participants all

Senator Patterson.
From the Indianapolis News.

The fact that Senator Patterson, demo-
crat, saw fit to defend the Presidents
policy with reference to Santo Domingo
and Morocco. and to indorse Mr.. Roosevelt
as an honest and patriotic man seems to
have thrown the democratic side of the
Senate into CONSERVATION. We see no occa-
sion for alarm, none even for surprise. For
q senator ought not to hesitate to commend
a policy of which he approves simply be-
cause 1t happens to be the policy of a polit-
zeal adversary. Nor should party differ
ences as rule, be allowed to obtrude in
considering questions that have to do with
foreign affairs.
