HOW IS THIS, GENERALl


We dislike to say anything that sounds like al
tmputatiOn upon the rustwOrtnDess or venerable
friend, General Neal Dow, the Father Of Prohibition.
Nevertheless there Is little matter that should bt
glad TO have him siraighten out.
Half dozen times, perhaps, within as many year,
past, General Dow has written TO The sun rebukng VI
for intimating that the Maine law did not seriously
affect the Dimensions OF the rum traffic In that state III
ment in letter which we printed coming from the
highest authority on the subject:
1.-The quantity OF liquor sold In Maine is not more
than one-twentieth OF what IL was before the law.
Every dlsery and brewery IN the state has been sup
pressed; there IS not one remaining"
That same year General Dow wrote as follows to the
Rev. Charles ID. Crane, a New-Jersey clergyman:
THE Maine law was enacted In 1851, and from that
date to this IL has been great success"
Only ten months ago he published letter containing
this declaration:
THE Maine law is as well executed as auy other on
statutes"
Last week General Dow caused to be printed in The
Portland Argus over his own signature open letter,
III which occurs TINS extraordinary passage:
For many years we have applied 10 Republican Leg
islatures for such additions to the law experience
shown To he necessary, but Fave been absolutely
fused, have been put of by insufficient and insgh-
cant measured The consequence that the volume OF

last twenty years. In every city In Name unier Re

has been and Is loyal to the temperance cause ia OF

By these significant admissions They come from the
man who, more than any other person. Is respOns-

partnlent.

In an article swectly euogistic Of the char
actcr and career Of the Mugwump contingent,
The Philadelphia telegraph gravcly observes,
They are still loyal Republicans
lcS-the MugwumpS are still " as loyal to
the Republican party as they were in the fall Of
1851. No doubt about it. They did their
best to injure the Republican party then and
hat congcna task still cngrosscs their energies.
Take The Nec- York Times, for example. Il;
emerged from the last Presidential campaign
protesting Il The Times remains a Republican
paper The public saw its remains, but was
unable to see It's Rcpublicanism. At this hour
The Times is laboring as zealously for the ad-
yancemcnt Of the Democratic party as either
The World or The Star. 1t is pattlng the third
party on The back. Why Manifcstly because
it realizes that most of the strength Of that
party must be drawn from the Republican ranks
And On the other hand il has nothing but
Obloquy for the Anti-Saloon Republican move
mcnt. Why ManifcStly because it regards
the movement as inimical TO the Democracy
1t is daily trying to demolsh the arguments
upon which the Republicans of Maine rely for
success in their present canvass Why f?
Manifestly with the desire of helping the Dem
ccrats Of Maine to elect their candidates for
Governor and for Congress.
The Times still loyal " to the Republican
party-we should say So All the same, if
Fagin is elected chairman of the Democratic
State Committee in place of his co-woIkcr for
the success of Democratic principles, John
3lien. nobody need DC surprised In fact,
nc would he a strong candidate for the position.
At least that rum hole in THE Tines's building
ought to endear him to the saloon element of
the Democracy.

To understand the Crofter Question which
now agitates certain English statesmen and
more Scottish crofters THE TRIBuNE's special
cable dispatch this morning should surely 10
read. In il Angus Sutherland, NJ. /. lwhosc
forcfathers were eyictcd by Marquis OF
Stafford and who has now in turn evlctcd
Marquis of Stafford from seat in Parllamcnt,
gives a brief history of the croftcrs and their
grievances. 1t is an interesting story, even If
it bc one-sided There is a measure of just re-
,ribution in the unpleasant prcdicamcnt In which
tho Scottish landowners of to-day find them
selves Over hundred years ago they turned
men from their estates and put sheep on ;
now the cheap focks of the evicted croftcrs who
went to America or Australia have practically
turned off the Scottish sheep TO the dismay
Of the owners.

THE DISPOSITION or GER0yyvO


AT present some uncertainty appears to cx-
list as to the nature of the surrender made by
Geronimo. General Miles tclcgraphed that the
surrender was unconditional" but at the War
Department doubts are entertained as TO the cor
RICHNESS Of this statement, though these doubts
seem TO have no frmer foundation than belief
in the old chiefs shIewdncss and a dlsinclina-
ton TO credit the report that he gave himself
up unreservcdiy. The question Of his disposi-
ton, however, is not necessarily dependent upon
this point. If he surrendered without condi-
ions there is nothing to prevent his trial by
civil or military conr, unless it is the difficulty
of procuring direct evidence against him. If
he surrendered us a prisoner Of war it may bc
difficult to bring him before either a civil or
military tribunal, though even in that case the
difficulty would perhaps not be insupcrablc
But il is not likely that General Miles would
have accepted any kind of surrender which tied
his hands, the more especially since the War
Department had distinctly instructed him not
TO receive Geronimo ~ prisoner of war.
Everybody knows that Geronimo is ac-
countable for long catalogue of hidcous
crimes, yet now it seems that his habit of kill
ing everybody in sight whenever he was on a
raid operates to prevent the collection of such
direct and specific evidence as is needed to con-
meet him personally with these deeds. What
prstext there can be for calling in the civil

Of his Government AS Russia passes from one
stage TO another Of her progress toward Con-
siantnope, Austria contents itself with OBJ
tanning by diplomacy and with Prince Bis
marck's aid compcnsating advantages. In their
forecasts Of the final solution of the Eastern
Question the German and Austrian official
presses are probably in close agreement. Far
from considering war between the Balkan
rivals to be inevitable, they assume that parti-
ton of European Turkey is practcable-that
Russia will 90 to Constantinoplo and that Aus
tria will strike the Egcan at Salonika.

CONVERSATIONS FOX AUSTRIA

The Vienna press advocates - sound, VigOr-
Gus policy of compensation in the Balkan
| That is to say, the acqulescence Of Austria in
high-handed acts of political brigandagc on the
part Of Russia must he matter Of diplomatic
barter The Dual Monarchy must have Quid
pro quo. 1t cannot consent to have Russia re-
gam her influence in Bulgaria unless it is
guaranteed corresponding advantages in the
Eakan. The North German Gazette, an excel
lent authority when Prince BismaIcli's opinion
is desired assumes the part of Austrias candid
friend and openly advises her to come to a dip
lomatic agreement with Russia whereby the in
terests of both Empires may be promoted. 1t
sharply contIadics the assertion of the British
press that Austrian and Russian interests are
conflicting. "Thosc interests can be easily re-
conciIed,' it confidently AYERS, and it is Ger
many's aim to reconcile them"
A policy of compensation by which positive
gains of pacific diplomacy are substituted for
the uncertainties Of war is unavoidable in al
Empire where conflicting forces Of race are
strongly exertrd in opposite directions Mr.
Stillman once compared The Dual Monarchy to
a pair Of maiassOrted twins that could not agree
about what they wanted and kept Europe in
day on course Of action. Respecting Balkan
policy the two halves of the Empire have never
been able to act together for the simple reason
that it is impossible for MagyarS and Slays to
think alike about Southern or Northern Slavs
The military occupation Of Bosnia and the
Herzegovina was distinctively an Imperial ACT.
Hungary had opposed it South Austria had
clamored for 1T; North Austria had been ncu-
trail. The Emperor dcspairing of securing the
cooperation Of the two monarchics, acted for
himself and occupied the provinces. Bosnia
and Herzegovina were substantial compensa-
tons for a Russian Bulgaria. They were ac-
quiIed under Prince Bismarcks advice and
with the consent Of Europe, and Hungary was
powcrless to prevent this triumph of Slay
policy.
The same obstacles to Austrian military in
terventon in the Crimean war and the Russian
campaign of invasion in 1877 obstruct an az
g,cssive policy in the Balkan to-day 1t is I'M
possible to reconcile the race prejudiccs and as
pirations Of the Emperor's German, Magyar
and Slav subjects. With two Ministries TO
direct, two Parliamcnts TO conciatc and hostile
races TO keep in harmonious relations, the SOW
ereign recoils from warlile measures and makes
the maintenance of peace the highest interest

power, however, we cannot see. 10 would De
a climax of inconsistency II the Government,
after refusing all its life to adopt tho Indian
policy which can alone keep tho red men to
strict accountability, should invoke the civil
arm at this moment, for no better use than to
battle justice.
The punishment Of Geronimo is demanded In
the public interest. Nothing could be more
dcmoralizing to the untamcd Indians than the
escape of this notorious and obstinate offender.
To put him on a reservation after what he has
done would be to convince all the most danger
GUS Indians that the Government is afraid OF
them and that it will not avcngc the white set
tiers, their wives and children, who have been
slain by scores in Arizona. Nor is there any
conceivable reason why Geronimo should be
allowed to live. The example of his survival
can only be mischcvous, while the effect Of
his prompt trial. conviction and execution would
certainly not be to encourage his like. AS to
the alleged difficulties, they can be removed.
A military court is not fettered by the laws of
evidence which restrict civil tribunal. The
proof that all the butcheries perpetrated by
Geronimo's band have been with his orders or
his consent cannot be hard TO obtain. The
guilt Of the prisoner is so notorious that it would
be absurd to stand upon petty scruples In such
case. Geronimo deserves to die. There is
no other disposition of him which is at once so
fit, so safe or so exemplary. And the Govern
ment ought not to hesitate long in arriving at
the determination to award him the penalty
he has so fearfully earned.
