In his annual report the chief con-
stable of Liverpool says hat in every
relation OF life there are indications
that there is a general decay of%personal
honesty" He argues that crime, in
stead Of decreasing, is actually in
creasing in England. The crimes Of
the animal and .he savage, crimes
against the person, he admits, have
lessened, but crimes against property
the crime OF civilized man-have in
creased. Further, he says: There Is
more Of that disregard for the truth
which is the initial stage Of dis
honesty, lmore carelessness about the
honesty of the means employed in get
ting the better Of somebody else which
is the principal object Of so many
transactions between man and man.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, JULY o

THE announcement of the dismissal
OF Colonel John S. Mosby from his
position in the Department OF Justice
will be read with regret by his friends
and acauaintances throughout the
country. Colonel Mosby has for sew
eral years worked earnestly IN attempts
to break up certain questionable procc-
dures on the part Of cattlemen IN the
middle west, and his active and conscl-
entious Iabors in this field raised
ND enemies occasionally. At the same
time he has been confronted by others,
representatives OF the government, who
did not vie with him as he had right to
expect. So potentional was the in
huence of these cattle barons that
although President Roosevelt sent Col
onel Mosby to the middle west IN the
interest Of the government, Senator
Dietrich and others had him recalled.
Dietrich, it will be remembered, was
later ousted from the Senate Tor the
part he played againstth governments 5
interests in the public lands. Colonel
Mosby is now entering the sere ana
yellow leaf. He lost the sight OF one
Of his eyes several years ago III a run
away accident at Charlottesville and
his hearing has recently been impaired.
His intellect, however, is as active a
ever and his determination as grca
as in his younger days. In
1872, for reasons best known TO HIM
self, he supported General Grant for
the presidency as against Horace Gree
lev. This action arrayed many OF his
former associates against him, in a
nolitical sense. although his personal
popularity never declined. When the
ballots were counted it was found that
he was by no means alone IN his poIti-
cal predictions, as Grant received a
majority of the votes in Virginia. 1t
has always been an open secret that
Colonel Mosby had good reason to
stand by the federal general. The
l%atter's exclamation, Let MS have
peace" and the paroling Of General
Lees army, the issue of ration to the
Confederate soldiers and allowing them
to depart with their horses ard side
arms. tempered the indecent behavior
OF many in the Army Of the Potomac
after the scenes at AppomattoX. Colonel
Mosby was a special object Of hatred to
the federal army which he had haraSsed
for four years, and almost as soon as
he appeared in Alexandria after the
surrender he was surrounded by a large
crowd of soldiers and civilians and his
arrest followed. He was later arrested
in New York state while a spectator at
a horse ace Some people in the north,
who never discarded the bloody SHIRT,
would have had the colonel hanged
but the friendship known to have
existed between Grant Chen the idol OF
the north) and Colonel Mosby aided no
little in quoting such as would have
committed an avert act. Colonel MoSby
subsequently became United States
Consul at Hong Kong. Grant and Mos
by were firm friends up to the l%atter's
death, and many in the Old Dominion
proited in one way or another, directly
or indirectly, by the Kindly feeling
which had existed between the eX.fcd-
eral general and the ex-Confcderate
colonel.
