New YORK, June ia police
officer, high in authority, in speaking
to reporter of the Evening Post OF
the murder of Mrs. Hull, admitted
that he was convinced it was commit
ted by person in the house, and says
the removal of the jewels was device
too shallow to deceive anyone He
also admitted it was likely an arrest
would be made very soon, possibly to-
day. Superintendent Walling is said
to be convinced the missing jewels are
still in the house, but if the Jewels are
not found in the house or drains the
place Of the murder will not be al
tered as they say it is impossible to
say how far the jewels might be car
ried along the sewer by matter passing
through them. DIR. Hull is under
surveillance.


The idea that the murder was com
mitted by professional burglars is
generally discredited by all persons
familiar with criminal matters. The
police are confident of winding up the
case before the end of this week.

Whether the prevailing contention between the
two factions of the Democratic party in this
city is a difference among doctors or a falling
out among rOgues, is a question upon which
opinions also differ. Those of us who have
watched the course of the party and are fam
iliar with its history, who know with what
diligence It's leaders have prosecuted the study
of the science OF government, what learning
and zeal they have brought to the solution of
great political problems, with what philos0-
phic temper they have always discussed the
questions Of current politics, and with what
profound intelligence and large forecast they
have settled them, would fain believe that
this is a dispute of doctors, scholars, men so
saturated with political science, so brimful of
political philosophy. so crammed with all
knowledge that there can be 40 bench above
them, no tribunal in which the authority re-
sides TO pass judgment on the questions they
raise. Those who know the schools in which
they were trained the clOisters where they
devoted themselves to favOritc pursuits,
the vigils they kept and keep, the
pore over, and the very glasses through
which they contemplate the future of free in

are the differences of statesmen, and not those
which arise from the falling out of rogues.

1t seems strange that in this era, in
the midday of universal enlighten-
ment, there should be such a narrow
minded, bigoted spirit extant as that
which has recently been brought to the
surface by the attempt to exclude
the Jews from the privileges of
Manhattan Beach. No possible excuse
can be offered in extenuation of this
prescribed effort at sectional ostracism.
1t is indeed "a contemplate manifesto
tion of bigotry and prejudice" and
what is more it is wanton insult to
that particular class which goes large
lsinto the composition of our social
system. The time has long since passed
when the vary term "Hebrew" was
synouomous all that is demeaning in
thought and unprinciplsd IN action.
And this reflection upon such large
and respected portion of our citizenship
is an insult to that advanced idea
which is the very germ of national lib
eralism. If the Isralites were prescrib.
ed, ostracised and hunted down in the
dark and dreary days of the sixteenth
century, it is no reason why the lsral


ties of the nineteenth century should
be made the special objects of taunting
bigotry because Of their religious con
victions. The "whirligig of time" has
rang in many changes, and many in
vidious errors and petty sectional diff
ferences have been rung out of existence
or smothered beneath the silvery foot
falls of a dawning era. To be Jew is
no longer to be social Ishmalte. His
land is against no man, nor should
the shallow Of fellow being's hand fall


upon him. The Jew is a man, and be


ing man he is equitably entitled to
all the privileges of others, socially as
well as politically, and the sooner this
fact is cognized by the less liberal of
our narrow minded, who, of all our
country's area, seem to live and thrive
amid the immediate precincts of New
York City. the better it will be not only
for the oppressed and oppressors, but
for the general reputation Of the coun
try.

Every officer of the law should en-


deavor tc preserve the dignity OF his


station. He should by his actions ard


demeanor command respect, and not be


under the necessity Of using his author

of weak mind to resent with anger
the violation Of any rule Of decorum on
the part Of any one, through ignorance
or psrversity Of disposition. Judges,


Mayors and magistrates should always
remember this rule. Even police Off
GERS should be philosophers and set an


example of forbearanoe that would be
noticeable and call for commendation.-
Those who have the power over anoth-

they should govern their passions, they

prisoners will be managed without the
