Thomas W. Lawson and his va
carries have ceased to be interest
ing except so far as they illustrate
the thesis that you can fool most
of the people most of the time.
The Financial times of London
reproduces an alleged New Years
resolve of the clown of Wall street
and describes him as "a philan-
thropist and Wall street reformer"
on the basis presumably of Law
sons own claim to having devoted
three and a half years of his time
and some millions of his fortune
to reform work in the interest of
the public" Lawson's attack on
the financial leaders of New York
led to the exposure of the lax meth
DDS of some of the insurance COM
panies and taught the public how
copper mining companies are pro-
NOTED at 26 Broadway; at that time
we thought him useful instru-
ment of providence, which occa
sionally chooses strange instru-
ments it's wonders to perform. "
But Lawson soon proved himself
a brazen fillibuster, cheeky no.
toriety- seeker, clever scoundrel.
With an astonishing command of
slang and a real talent for descrip-
tive writing, he wrote series of
articles that in years to come will
be valuable as mirroring the queer
notions of the predatory part OF
the New York community at the
beginning of the twentieth cen
tury. Lawson's bid for notoriety
succeeded and it helped him to
boom the magazine devoted to the
publication of his contributions to
yellow iournalism-for yellow it
is, with all the sardonic lying, cool
impertinence, and cheap vulgarlty
that belong to yellow journalism.
Lawson is the figure of man that
looks at the public with his fingers
outspread before his nose; it is
high time his campaign of imperti-
nent foolery came to an end, and
tnat he were put in the limbo of
exposed imposters with Classy
Chadwick, Carrie Nation, and Jack
London. For several years he has
been the clown of Wall street, util-
izing the notoriety of reformer
merely to stimulate interest in his
stock operations and his magazine
enterprise. Mining and Scientific
Press, San Francisco.

The Dominant

|
The dominant evil of
4 the disregard of law, mar -
itself to deplorable and civic. a
increasing extent in myriad fsslIII
of evasion and multiplied acts Y
outright lawlessness and that NOT
only with apparent IMMUNITY, but
without any present assurance or
an available check. Our statute
books are full of laws that are
dead letters, seemingly by COM
munity consent. The anti ciga-z
rette law is a screaming farce.
Any body who wants cigarettes cites
manages to get them some way,
and the street urchins puff the
smoke of them in the faces Of the
officers of the law. The anti-pis-
tol selling law has become a mere
invitation to evasion, and other
laws, apart from the strictly GRIM
inal code, such as the Sunday laws,
are either very generally disre-
garded or SO perfunctorily OBJ
served and enfored as to be prac-
tically annulled or insidiousIy dis
credited. Mob law, which to eff
feet its horrid purposes tramples
the first principles of social order
and governmental protection I'M
der foot, not only goes unpun-
ished and unchecked by the help
less State, but too often has the
tolerance and encouragement of
the communities that helped Gre
ate the law and tie courts. Night
riders roam at will, destroying
property and committing the
crimes of arson and murder in
populous sections, where the
courts and the county and State
authorities are powerless to pro-
tect or to bring the law breakers
to punishment.
The crying evil of to-day is
lawlessness; and the crying need
of the times is the restoration of
general respect for law and its
general and rigorous enforcement.
Laws cannot be enforced without
the general and determined sup
port of communities,-Nashville

And yet there are people who
want to wipe capital punishment
off the statute books.

DAUGHTER OF LATE REV.
ALEXANDER CAMPBELL.
Was Postmistress at Louisville for
Thirteen Years-Interment
at Bethany, w. Va.

The death of Mrs. Virginia Campbell

age. occurred here yesterday She was
daughter of Rev. Alexander Campbell,
founder of the Christian or Campbellite
Church
For thirteen years Mrs. Thompson was
postmistress at Louisville. Ky Her sue
cessive campaigns for reappointment to
that Office are still remembered by those
who We're conversant with the doings Of
public life during the presidential terms Of
Hayes, Garfield, Arthur Cleveland and
Harrison.
Mrs. Thompson was born at Bethany,
w. Va. She was married To William 4.
Thompson of Kentucky. After he died in
1877 she journeyed to Washington with
her young children and asked President
Hayes for the appointment of postmas;c:
a Louisville. Although her selection was
bitterly fought by Kentucky politicians.
she received the appointment. Pres dent
Arthur reappointed her, as did President
Cleveland. There were over 5000 letters
on file requesting the reappointment of
Mrs. Thompson when President Harrison
entered the White House. The determined
opposition Postmaster General Wan
amaker kept her from serving d fourth
term

CoNDUITS AND GAS MAINS.
Report of Superintendent Regarding
Construction of Connection.

Construction of Connection.
D. E. McComb. superintendent of sew
ers. has submitted to the Commissioners
report relative to the location and con-
struction of service connections with un-
foreground conduits and gas mains and
the construction of manholes in the Dis
trict. In his report Mr. McComb recon-
mended that hereafter connections ex-
ceeding fifty feet in length and manhole
constructions for street lamps be per-
mitted only after the permit for tine same
has been taken out by the public service
company involved. He further contends
| that the application for such permit
should be accompanied by some state
ment or certificate from the District cleo
tdrical engineer to show that the work
proposed is to be done in connection with
the street lighting and that no fee shall
be charged for the permit
This recommendation on the part of the
superintendent of sewers is due to the
fact that recently the location of proposed
underground conduits. manholes and gas
mains constructed under permit by the
public service corporations, and the in
spection of the work has been placed
under the Supervision of his department.
By direction of the electrical engineer of
the District service cOnduits and gas pipes
are laid to supply current and gas to
lamps. Supt. McComb says it so happens
that sometimes these require the opening
of a considerable space of street and
road surfaces and the construction of
manholeS in the streets.
