The Man With the Key.

The robber with the duplicate key who
is looting houses in Washington is evil

ming of every one of his enterprises. In
most cases he has entered the premises
when the family was away and has had
no difficulty in making off with his
plumber without interruption. 1t is diff
cult to cope with a case Of this kind
short of never leaving the house un-
guarded. The key that this man uses is
probably what is known generally as a
master key. Most Of the houses in this
city are locked by elementary mechan-
ism to open which is not a matter Of
great difficulty to a person Of any ex-
perience. This thief is probably a pro-
fessional who has specialized on front
doors and has no trouble with the aver
age main entrance. 1t is really safer
to go through door in the daytime than
through window at night. At all
events, there is nothing calculated to at
tract attention in the spectacle of q man
walking up to the front entrance of a
dwelling and letting himself in with a
key, perhaps after little funbling. But
it is almost assured that this clever rob-
Der will be caught. He will stumble
less the series of mysterious robberies
will cease. Meanwhile, 1t would be well
for those who can do SO to change the
locks and, II possible, never leave
the premises unoccupied.

The Burial of the Maine.

Today from Havana harbor the bat
tered hulk of the old Maine is being
towed to sea to find a last resting place
at the bottom of the ocean. Never be-
fore was such ceremony performed,
and 1t is to be hoped that never again
will there be occasion for another formal
interment of ship done to death by
treachery. The raising OF the Maine
from the mud Of Havana harbor was an
achievement calling for exercise OF In
genuity and skill, and today's ceremony
caps it as a notably successful under
taking. The United States should In
truth have done this work long ago, but
the lapse of time in no wise lessons the
solennity or the significance OF today's
ceremony at Havana.
BY taking the Maine out to sea for
final interment the government has avoid
ed the embarrassment certain to arise
from a piecemeal destruction Of the hulk
or its sale as a whole. perhaps. to be
paraded before the gaze of the curious
to the shame of patriotic citizens. This
method Of dfsposing of the vessel cannot
fail to impress all people with the signifi-
canoe of its redemption from the bottom
of the harbor to which it was sent on
pie of the United States do not regard
the destruction of the Maine as closed
incident They still feel that 1t remains
to be punished From the twisted men,
bers of the hull have been now gained
unmistakable evidences that the ship was
destroyed by blow from the outside,
and while there is no clue to the perpe-
traitor there remains a determination on
the part of the country to clear the mys-
terry il there is any possibility Of do
ing SO.
A ship Of war sunk under the guns OF
an enemy in formal combat or destroyed
by torpedo in the course of open and
declared warfare finds most fitting place
of final rest at the point Of her disaster
The Maine, however, has been removed
from the spot where she was dealt the
foul blow that destroyed here and hum
dreds of her crew and this difference
marks the distinction between a sacrifice
of war and a crime.

Mr., German and Mr.. Underwood.

In way, Mr.. Underwood's tariff
maneuvers suggest those employed by
Mr.. German in 1894. A certainty is be-
ing played off against an uncertainty A
bird in the hand is being released for
one in the bush.
Mr. German was warned against the
income tax proposition. on two grounds
a. that the tax would not stand the test
in court to which 1t would be subjected
and CD the revenue provided for under
it was but an estimate.
David B. Hill led the fight against the
income tax, first upon the assertion that
the democratic party was not committed
to such a tax in a time Of peace, and
then upon the assertion that the tax was
unconstitutional.
And following these two contentious
Mr.. Hill said in substance to Mr.. Cor
man: IF you include the income tax in
your bill as a sure means Of revenue,
and the court throws out the tax, your
tariff bill will fail to support the gov
eminent, and the party will pay the
penalty next election day"
That very thing happened. The
Supreme Court, following tho lines Of the
argument Mr.. Hill had made in q two
day speech in the Senate. declared the
tax unconstitutional: and deprived Of that
source of revenue the Treasury ran be-
hind under the Gorman-Wilso bill, and
the country took 1t out Of the demo-
| cratic party at the polls.
BY his sugar schedule Mr.. Underwood
| would release fifty-odd millions OF dollars
revenue annually. The amount is not an
estimate, but a recorded fact BY his
excise tax he would commit the govern
msut to lawsuit and sYsA il the Gui1

collections under It might not mako up
the deficiency caused by the repeal Of the
sugar tax. There are lawyers Of the
opinion that the excise tax Is unconsti-
| tutional, and statistictans Of the opinion
that the tax would not produce half OF
the sum required.
There Is this difference between the
two situations. Mr.. German was han
ding a general tariff bill with the power
to pass 1t. The democratic party was
in full control. ana under instructions to
revise the tariff. There must be q bill
but Mr.. German made the mistake OF
passing q defective bill-one that after
receiving a black eye in court was bound
to fail as q revenue producer. And it
did fail.
Mr.. Underwood. having the Senate and
the White House between him and final
action, is handling the tariff piecemeal.
and more with a view to campaign ma
terial than to revision and revenue. He
does not expect his bills to become law.
Nevertheless, his play with the sugar
schedule and the excise tax is open to
criticism on the score Of the risk shown
even in a matter Of political maneuver-
ing.

DR.. Wiley's Resignation.
From the New York Tribune,

From the New York Tribune.
The good wishes of the country will
follow DR.. Harvey W. Wiley in his re-
tirement from the governments service
to congenial private employment 1t
seldom happens that bureau chief in
any of the departments at Washington
makes himself figure of national inn
portance. DR.. Wiley has certainly done
that. Other bureau chiefs, especially in
the scientific branches of the govern
ment service, have used as much indus
try and perseverance as he has shown
and have been actuated by as high a
sense of dianterestedness and duty. But
it fell to DR.. Wiley's lot to have g. con-
spicuous share in the enforcement of a
law directly affecting the welfare OF
every man. woman and child in the coun-
try, and the steadfastness and courage
with which he warred on those who
would adulterate food for their own gain
have given him unique place In popular
estimation.

Roosevelt and Bryan.

II is quite likely that Mr.. Bryan is
watching developments in Mr.. Roosevelt's
rase with some anxiety. For this reason:
There are democrats who feel toward
him a. certain republicans feel toward
Mr.. Roosevelt That is to say, he is not
only first in their affections, but the man
they consider necessary for the present
emergency.
In Mr.. Roosevelts case his friends per
suaded him to announce himself for
President again. They assured him that
ii he would but announce, the public
would do the rest. Such a response would
be made as would put Mr.. Taft and
everybody else out Of the question.
Mr.. Roosevelt hearkened, and an
nounced. But he has been surprised. His
friends were mistaken as to public sem
timent. The country is not ringing with
d demand for him. Neither Mr.. Taft
nor Mr.. La Toilette has been put out of
the question. The former is stronger
than ever. while the latter is fighting to
retain all the strength he has. II there
is TO be a demand for Mr.. Roosevelt he
must drum 1t up In everyday fashion.
In Mr.. Bryan's case his friends are
asking only silence from him. They think
he has said enough In the simple state
ment that he is not a candidate for the
Baltimore nomination. They want him to
let the matter go at that. Let the an
nounced aspirants fight it out, and Mr.
Bryan hold himself ready to do what.
ever his party in the convention may
demand.
These men are Of opinion that the Bal
timore convention will register a dead
lock. Seven hundred and sixteen votes
wo-thirds-will be necessary TO nominate

in gaining the open enmity of a con-

and that is a strong recommendation
