Longfsllow.

Yesterday a statue of Longfellow was
added to the outdoor art Of the National
capital. as a result of the praiseworthy
efforts of citizens who felt that the poet
who breathed in his verse so distinctly
the spirit Of the new nation should be
permanently commemorated at the seat
of government. Longfellow Is now rec
ognized universally as the poet of the
American people. He was distinctly In
his individuality a product Of the New
England environment. but he appealed to
all classes and temperaments. and no
geographical boundary limited the range
Of his appreciation. Perhaps more clear
iy than in any other case. it is fitting
that he should be honored by a place In
the sculpture Of Washington. where year
after year centers more definitely the ma
tion's intellectual interest
1t has long been the thought OF the en-
thusiastic Washingtonians with a proper
concept Of this citys place In the Ameri-
can equation that here are the elements
making for universality Of view and for
the true artistic and literary spirit. No
other city possesses such q broadly cos
mopolitan character. None other has such
freedom from the restrictions of COM
merce and such q range Of expression.
Educators agree that Washington IL the
ideal seat of learning, not alone because
of the advantages offered by the govern
ment's activities and exhibits. but because
of the atmosphere OF quiet thought which
pervades the community. Artists have Of
late years recognised the unique attrac-
tions OF the Capital city ~ the scene OF

Mr.. Clapp of Minnesota recorded him
self in the Senate yesterday against the
tariff schedules of Mr.. Aldrich and his
friends. Said he, in a speech delivered
with marked earnestness:
THE people understood that We were
TO have q revision downward: the men
understood II. Everybody understood it,
and no amount of sophistry can otherwise
explain the popular demand and the party
promise.
IF this promise was for a revision that
would mean the maintenance OF the Ding
Righteousness of the chief executive cali
ing Congress together to revise something
that should stand unchanged until the
end Of time.
when the people made the demand for
tariff revision downward there was no
suggestion that these industries were not
sufficiently protected. II the demand for
revision did not mean changing the duties
downward II did not mean anything. and
we are indulging in farce now
There is much force in this. 1t was
popular sentiment which forced the tariff
expression at Chicago last year, and,
later. dictated the utterances of the re-
publican speakers. The Dingley law was
the text. and promises were made with
that law as the basis.
The argument was simple and straight
forward. We were told that the law had
more than fulfilled its purposes. Passed
at q period Of extreme business depres-
sion, and with the view of restoring good
times. 1t had operated as a healing poul-
tice on deep wound. The good times

promises to the country.

mere re-enactment of the old law the
people will feel themselves betrayed. and
at the first opportunity visit the sins OF
the leaders upon the party. Says the
senator:
THE American people have determined
upon this revision downward. and any
thing else will disappoint them. 1t may

wishes of the people. but 50 sure as you
do that. two years from now TINS tarln
will be revised, not by the friends OF
protection. but by the enemies of pro-
lection"
This is but prophecy. 1t may. or may
not. prove to be true. But it serves as
a suggestion of the real hope and In
spiration of the standpatters. Those reso-
lutte and resourceful gentlemen argue In
this way: 1T will take a great deal to
induce the people to turn to the demo-
cratic party for intelligent tariff legisla-
ton. They have not forgotten the ex-
pensive botch of bill the democrats en-
acted into law in 1894. and they are
viewing with mingled amusement and
the present plight-not to say
fight-of that party. Nearly every lead
er of proNinence has hurried. or IS hur-
rying, into the protection camp. The
only muezzin in minaret today calling

The Hamilton Memorial.

Why Alexander Hamilton, dead these
100 years, should excite the fury OF one
of the new senators from the northwest,
and a republican senator to boot. does
not appear on the surface. On his merits
as a constructive statesman no American
ever lived who deserved statue in
Washington more than Hamilton. but
Senator Johnson of North Dakota de-
mands that the resolution Of Congress
providing for such memorial be forth
with repealed. and he is quoted as saying
that he wants that man forgotten as

are generally held cannot be believed.

Government by Night Riders.

The trial of another batch Of night
riders is in progress in Tennessee. anc
some interesting facts about such organi-
cations and the men composing them
are coming out.
A MAGISTRATE a member Of the county
court. was whipped for talking too much.
That is to say, he had condemned night
riding rs an officer Of the law. could
he have done less? In country COM
munity the outrages Of the local lawless
constitute the leading topic of converse
ton. The tariff. the achievements OF the
Young Turks. the progress or non-prog-
ress Of constitutionalism In Russia, are
barred by distance and unfamiiarity. The
fate of a tobacco bed, or a tobacco barn.
is of far more Importance, and this plain
country squire discussed home matters
with the home folks. For that he was
lashed like dog. and Inundated.
A merchant was visited and orders were
given him about selling peanuts. The night
riders had fixed the price. and also pre-
pared a list of the persons privileged to
buy. A sale under this price. or to any
body not on the list would be punished
with SO many stripes. 1t does not appear
that the merchant disobeyed his orders.
An old negro and his sons were renters,
and the night riders. for themselves or
friends, wanted the land. No charges
were brought against the negroes Their
room. to the night riders, was better than
their company, and force was decided
upon. The visit was made by night and
the father of the family resisted. But.
after firing into the house. and wounding
a daughter of the old man, the mob en-
tered whipped the man. and then ordered
the whole family to clear out at once.
The order was obeyed, the negroes leav-
ing their little all behind.
At last. at a meeting Of the gang. the
proposition was made point blank to kill
a man. This brought protest from one
of the members. and 1t was dropped.
Probably the protestant had helped whip
the squire and the old negro, and partici-
pated in the warning to the merchant, and
of being implicated in murder. but when
murder outright was proposed he baked.
1t cannot be repeated too often that
these scenes and others like them are not
the fruits OF foreign immigration. They
disgrace old American communities. and
the actors are of American birth and
antecedents. Men of such stamp have
known nothing but freedom and oppor-
tunity. They have not gone mad under a
sudden release from tyranny, and been
hurried into excesses by a new experience.
They are simply cold-blooded lawbreakers
without excuse for .heir conduct, and
should be made to feel the full force OF
Justice The spirit Of lawlessness feeds
upon leniency.

From the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

Prompt and unquestioning obedience
Is the corner stone Of the foundation OF

properly who has not learned to take
them. and save he serve, no man may

Work Of Juvenile Court.
From the Detroit Journal.

In his work Of reforming juvenile delin-
quents the judge Of the juvenile court
must of necessity meet with many disap-
pointments. If boy is born with GRIM
inal instincts neither threatening nor ca
joling on the part of the Judge is likely
to have much effect upon him. and the
On the other hand, however. there are
hundreds of boys who through exuber-
ance Of spirits or q love of mischief
thoughtlessly violate one or other OF our
laws. We used to hale such boys before
the police court. treat them as criminals,
although they may have had no GRIM
inal intentions. and place a stigma upon
them that they could never rid themselves
of. Today these lads are dealt with by
the juvenile court. and in the great ma
jority OF cases the boy is induced to be
less exuberant or to give up bad COM
panions. If these be shown to be the
cause of his getting into trouble.
