THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: W.WrOs"af.... ...... .... em--- s, Iees reSIX S. MVIES ......................uBas. TnU ZTEMeO teTAR bass a reatar and pe1maae11 eteulastee In Wamshes.s @sbe" :ses asuer _ aa ths Of aW asber paper Is Se efs.. As a beat WEWs paper aUd Adverelemets Msum= Is s= sepseser. The communscatiom concernIng the LOam ease, published elsewhere in this issue, es tWray miscostrues and mlisates Tax BrIa's advice to the colored people in this matter. Far from blam=ing them for working to seure a through investigation of the acts of the eMers in the Lomas ease Tax Bran advimed them "-o push for the punisent of sPeCie iestanses ot abase of authority betoe the proper tribunals," as well as to join the move asent for the change of the law concernIng police appointments TIM Bran condemned the Infsa....atry declamatioa of some of their representative speakers, inciting them to strike back if struck by an officer, to purchase =ushkt. for use agaiust the police, and to kill an officer if clubbed by him, even if the murder had to be delayed Until recovery from the clubbing. This atrocious incitement to lawleesness and bomi aide deserves to be indignantly denounced by every law-abiding citizen, white or black, not eMly a& crime -breeding in its tendency, but as defesting the very purpose of improving and re farming the polace,which the speakers professed to have in view. The colored people complain of brutality on the part of the police. The po liee reply that the negro, when arrested, is quick to resist, and to break away, if possible, after arrest; that others of his race come fre quently to his rescue from the clutches of the law; that in arresting a negro in a negro quarter blows, razor-cuts and pistol-shots are to be anticipated; that a certain roughness in subduing resistance in such cases is esential it the law is to be effective, and that eften a clubbing or shooting, which seems un necessary and brutal, is r-ally in self-defense againse a threatened danger to life or limb. As If to give force and point to this defense of the police the incendiary orators, to whom refer *nce has been made, publicly advise resistance to officers, the use of mus hete upon the police, and suggest the killing of an officer who uses his club. If there is any other course which is better calculated to strengthen the contention of the police that they feel in danger in making these arrests, and to prevent the discovery and punishmeut of real brutality, it is hard to conceive ad it. But, in spite of these speeches, If the statements mado by our cor respondent concerning the actionsof the police in this case are proved before the proper tri banal they will assuredly be punished. The difficulty about condemning them now is that the charges against them are not legally ascer taed facie. One officer was snot and the other officer killed the man who, as he thought, did the shooting. The coroner's jury's verdict tended to justify the otticers. If the truth was not ascertained by this tribunal the colored people have a police trial board and a grand jury to which they may resort for justice. and for the punishment of murderous brutality. Let them appeal to the law and not to lawless nell. and rely on the grand jury and an aroused public sentiment and not on the razor, revolver or musket. The Speaker of the House of Representatives has ended his vexatious task of making the cemmittees. No Speaker ever succeeds in pleas log everybody. There are so many minds to please, so many troublesome considerations en teuring into the choice independent even of those which affect the wishes of individual members, that the man who makes the assign Nats may well felicita.te himself when the work is done. whether he hiiself is satisfied with it in a small degree or not. The greater the man the less like'v he is to be content with the outcome. In the case of Speaker Crisp there were several considerations of an em barrassing nature. with one or two that light ened his labors. While he took the Huse at Sret hand. so to speak. after an interregnum, he was embarrassel by the riches of numbers and experience. especially from one section of the sounTry to which for political reasons he did set care to accord a major share of the honors and emoluments. To reduce the share of prominent men in the public business was sure to engender at least temporary Il content and possibly to excite friction where harmomy was indispensable. The choice lay between offending individuals of giving political capital to the party in oppo. uition. Wisely. perhaps, from the partan point of view he chose the first horn of the dilaemma but in doing so took a responsibility which few men would covet. It is probable that the chief weight of the objections of those unfriendly to the Speaker wil be leveled at Ohe Coastituton of the two principal committees, ways and means and appropriations, and the dis position of such leadig tariff reformers of the Carlisle Hlouse as Mr. 31ills and the Messrs. Dreekinridge. For reasons sufficient to him self tho Speaker decided to give the greater praminence in the matter of experienced leg islators to the second great committee, which may indicate that the demo ratie policy is to be rather in the line of economy of expenditure than in the line of attempts to change the sys tema of revenue. And yet it is clear from out givings that the democrats intend to attempt to "reforna" the re venue to a certain extent. Cengress has adjourned for Christmas. There was nothing else for it to do under the system that prevails. Whether another system would be hetter would depend on how it was worked. Congress should adopt the Crain constita tismal amendment or something similar. Then the smembers could finish up the holidays at home, come to Washington immediately after and legislate until midsummer. After an ex tended recess it could meet in the fall and re same itslabors, or if uniformity of timo of convening be desired it could hold annual Ses sions of equal or nearly equal length begin ning on the first Monday in January. The presidential term need not run with Congress, in fact it might be better another way. The former should begin about the 30th et April, so that inaugurations maight occur en that historic and more seasonnale date. Men of experience are apt naturally to think that ealy experienced men should be chosen for positions of responsibility. But if this rule had been rigidly aihered to the brilliant serv ieee of the younger Pitt and many other statesmen would have been lacking in great crises in which they were indispea-e. Never theless at is a safe principle of action to he guided by those who have been trained as: guies. It is rarely the ease that genius sup plis the lack of experience and it is better not to depend on the inspiration of yenng or on trained leaders when the wisdom of older and emeriensed statesmen man be comae=d.
