NEW YORK POLICE SCANDAL

The arrest of Lieutenant Becker of
New York on the charge of completely
in the assassination of Herman Rosen-
thai in that city recently is a serious
echo of tragedy which occurred in
one of the busiest streets in the met
ropolis, under the glare of myriads Of
electric lights and while multitudes
were moving to and fro.
1t remains for cour: of justice to
ascertain if the lieutenant is innocent
or guilty of the charge urged against
him. In the meantime judgment
should be suspended.
The fact, however, that such a
charge can be urged against an Of
ficer of the police force of the most
populous city in the country, is oni-
nous. While there mas never been
reason to believe that confederateS of
ten exist between Policemen and pro-
prietors of saloons, gambling and dis
orderly houses, it is a grave condition
of affairs when the material witnesses
for law and order is ruthlessly shot
down in the streets.
There is no reason to doubt that
Rosenthal was removed" for a pur-
pose. From the time the gambler was
murdered suspicion has pointed to
Lieutenant Becker, as Being a party
before the fact to the murder.
1t was whispered that the lieutenant
preferred that his lips be sealed. The
maxim of outlaws has ever been that
dead men tell no tales" If the same
is to be adopted by those paid to en-
force the laws of the commonwealth,
conditions, sooner Of later, will come
when, as before the deluge, violence
filled the earth"

THE LATE MIX ADO

AS was stated in yesterdays Ga
zette, the Mikado of Japan has joined
the great majority.
Kings ana mighticst potcntatcs must
die
For that's the end of human misery
The passing away of Mutsuhito
would not have attracted much atten-
ton had it occurred half century ago.
when Japan was regarded as is Siam
today. Many now living remember
the visits of the Japanese to the IN
tied States in 1860, at time when the
Mongolians still wore togas and que
ues. The old Aqua creek steamer
Philadelphia stopped at the foot of
Prince street on her way up the river
and people of this city were afforded
an opportunity of gazing upon the or
ientals.
The dead emperor had lived to see
Japan, in measure anglicized, and
placed in the front rank Of modern
nations. 1t has been said of late that
Mutsuhito was merely a figurehead,
and that the present station of his
country was the work Of his able
statesmen and diplomats who have
sprung up in the island kingdom dur
ing the past quarter of a century.
There may be something in this, but
the fact that he lived 20 see his nat
ion reach its zenith will always make
him prominent character in Japan
csc history.
From all that can be learned of the
late Mikado, he was a man of enter
prising but conservative views, and
nothing in the way of oriental despot-
ism is said to have been in his make
up.
