CHARLIE Ross.-Poor little Charlie
Ross is not yet found. There can be
hardly doubt, from the story of the
dying burglar Douglass, and the let
sezs and statements of Inspector WALL
ing, of New York, that Mosher und
Douglass were the men who abducted
him. Their detection aud 81 nmsry
punishment, for breaking into the
house Of Judge Van Brunt, have
almost certainly established that they
we're the guilty parties. We sincerely
hope that the child may yet be rcoo.
vered, but arc npprehensive from the
delay that he may have been foully
dealt with. We have known nothing
'hat has produced a profounder i'm.
preston OF indignation than this nitro.
cious crime against an innocent boy.
perpetrated from the basest motives of
gain, or deeper and moro universal
sorrow than that felt for the little vic.
iim himself.

1t is strange that Q phase in the Pre-.
sidents message which. if applied to
almost any other country than Spain,
would likely have produced war, has
been passed over with but little com.
mcnt. Referring to the insurrection
III Cuba. he said that if the state OF
affairs nov existing continued it would
likely make "some positive steps on
the part of other powers q matter OF
sef-necessity." The sentence is silly
one, to say the least of it. How could
O little insurrection in Cuba make
positive steps on the part of other go.
vernm nments q matter Of self. necessity"
The existence Of the United States is
certainly not involved in the petty
broil, and We know Of no other power
that is any way imperiled by it. The
alIusion, however, had the effect of ex-
citing bad feeling in Madrid, which
may result in delaying the payment OF
our so-callcd claims. Spain cannot,
of course, go to war with a foreign
power now. and she may be insulted
with impunity by any bully who
chooses to take advantage of her weak
ness.
