indeed, Of all England, were well known TO be
In sympathy with the thieves who plundered
Americans, IL there was not public distriDu-
ton OF tho spofls In such cases.
The fact is that the late robbery OF the
Yosemite stage was the first crime OF the KIND
in many years that the road to the Yosemite
Valley had been so safe for so long time that
no one thought of taking precautions against
highwaymen. AS soon az the robbery
was known, however, the company
owning the stage line adopted the
most energetic measures to capture the
robbers, and il they have not been taken
already there is little doubt of their ultimate
arrest for that has been the fate OF all stage
robbers in California, until now that crimes OF
this kind are 80 infrequent as to be surprising.
II is true that there is humorous side to stage
robberies. To see dozen stalwart men stand
ing in line with their hands up above their
heads, anxiously scanning the shotgun which
covers them, is calculated to make even acynic
smile, and yet the cynic if on jury subse-
quently would not hesitate to consign the
owner of the shotgun to the penItentiary. CAL
ifornia civilization has been maligned too long,
however. 1t is not the barbarOus State the
London journals would have its readers believe,
and 1t is no more infested with highway rob-
bers than the Thames Embankment Is.

THE SPANISH DEMONSTRATIONS.

The anti German demonstrations in Spain
are Characteristic of an excitable Nation.
The Caroline Islands have never been re-
garded as an important possession. There
are about five hundred of these islands
with an aggregate area of only S72 square
miles, occupied by q superior race of Malay
sailors. There are no large harbOrs, and COM
merce with them has been so restricted that
Spanish settlers have never established a trad
ing post among them, although the group was
discovered midway in the sixteenth century.
The islands have always been claimed as a
possession of the Crown, and the entrance of
Germany upon the scene is resented as blow
aimed at the prestige of the ancient monarchy.
Forty thousand of King Alfonsos subjects IN
Madrid united on Sunday in an imposing
demonstration of hostility to Germany, and
similar professions and indignation meetings
are reported from every province. Army
officers seem to have taken as prominent part
in the proceedings as democratic leaders and
the movement apparently indicates revival Of
National feeling. But Spanish patriotism,
while it flares suddenly and flashes under
momcntary excitement, does not burn with a
steady flame. The people are passionate in
their wrath. but incapable Of prolonged sacri-
ices and permanent support OF the Government
in deliberate attempts to defend the National
honor.
Castelar, has frequf ntly warned the Cortes
that the Monarchy can only regain its influence
in European councils by displaying energy and
frmness in diplomacy and by strenuously re-
sist'ng every attempt TO encroach upon the
great commercial Empire which is still re-
garded with enthusiasm and pride. Spanish
audiences are always ready to applaud this
sentiment, but no Foreign Minister ever has the
courage to adopt a far-sighted and vigorous
foreign policy. The Government derives no in
