IN the case of Senator Hearst there is
Il grim race between politics and death
The senator's decease would be followed
by the appointment to the senate of a
republican chosen by the governor of
California, and the transfer of a vote
from the democratic to the republican
side might undo the work of this week.
\ day or two ago Mr. HearSt's case
seemed hopeless but he has since rallied
a little, and the news of his respite is
welcome to circle vastly wider than

WASHINGTON

\ day or two. Some excitable people talked
wildly about The Italian fleet crossing the
ocean and laying New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia Baltimore and New Orleans under
heavy contributions but cooler heads saw
that Italy was in no shape for such an
aggression; that she is on the verge of
bankruptcy under the strain Of keeping up
her army and navy in time Of peace, and il
would be simply suicidal to provoke a
struggle with a Nation Of our wealth and
military resources Even were this not so,
il was doubtful IL she would dare attempt
tosend her ironclad fleet across the Atlantic.
While, theoretically, her ironclads are among
the most powerful afoat, and we have but
one vessel capable Of meeting one Of them
in square fight, there are very grave doubts
whether they arc as formidable as they
appear on paper The English have been
very much disappointed in the results OBJ
tanned by vessels and guns of that class,
and il IS an open question in naval circles
whether smaller vessels and guns will not
be more effective. Then, they are unable
10 carry anything more than their guns and
crew, aud in coming so far from home they
would have TO be accompanied 10y great
fleet Of transports, for coal, ammunition and
supplies, and these would be fine prey for
our swift, powerful cruisers, which would
speedily cut them away, and leave the hulk
ing Sonclads perfectly helpless. Should
they reach our shores, we could make more
than a respectable defense, with our torpe-
does, dynamite vessels, coast defense mont
tors, and the magnificent guns that our
factories are turning out
On the part OF our people there was, with
out distinction Of section or party, general
expression Of cordial support of the Admin
istration, and readiness for any step that
might be necessary to take to maintain the
dignity Of the Government Had war come
it would have been the most popular one
that this country was ever engaged in.

The coming battle FOR veterans rights is
much the most important that we have ever
fought, or ever shall fight 1t is the last
fight that tens Of thousands Of our comrades
shall engage in, for before II is ended they
viii have passed over the Dark River, and
be where the Soldier Halter ceases from
troubling and the veterans are At rest
The fight is now whether the men and
women shall continue to enjoy for the re-
mainlcr Of their lives what has been granted
them, and whether they shall receive any
further Justice, OF whether they viii surren-
der everything 10 their enemies.
The question must be definitely settled
within the next two years, and it is all-im-
portant that we at once close up our ranks,
and present a solid, unhrol,en front 10 our
antagonists. We must neglect no means TO
secure a victory, which viii be SO fun Of con-
sequences, not merely TO ourselves but TO
our disabled comrades, and the widows and
orphans Of those who have gone before.
Every line Of pension legislation now on
the statute books must be kept there, and
much more added We want in addition
the passage Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
Per Diem Service Pension Bill, The Equal
izati0n Of E0unties, The II peal Of the Arrears
of Pensions, The Prisoners OF War Pension,
The Manned Soldiers Bill and all other acts
Of justice for which we have long struggled.
The country justly owes all this 10 the
men who saved the Nations life. I'm spite
Of the clamors Of the Free Traders and pen
sion-haters, the country can well afford this
act Of justice, and viii be the richer and
more prosperous for doing il. 1t viii not
increase the taxes upon the people one cent,
and when an the expenditures under these
laws are made the total will not he one-half
what has already been paid the bond
holders Tor vastly smaller monetary con-
tribution TO the National defense than was
made by the men who stood between the
Nation and her enemies like a wall or living
fire.
But in order 10 secure this, every veteran
and friend Of the veterans must rouse him-
self for final effort. We must meet our
antagonists everywhere with argument for
argument, appeals for justice for ciamors
for cruel injustice, facts for injurious SLAM
ders, and votes for votes.
If we do this we shall certainly win, be
cause our cause is right, and the great and
good heart Of the country is with us. All
that is necessary is 10 educate the people mp
TO a realization Of what is due the men who
saved the country. If we win this time
the victory will DE conclusive and we can
pass the rest Of the days that God shall
grant as in peace.

THE dispute between the United States
and Italy calls attention 10 the radical diff
ference in the administration Of justice be-
tween Anglo-Saxon and Latin peoples.
From the earliest period in their history,
AnRlo-Saxon peoples have insisted that
every community shall maintain order and
punish crimes in its own territory. One of
the main features Of the Magma Charla Is
the provision that every accused man shall
be tried in the County in which the alleged
oilense was committed, by jury drawn from
the neighb0rhood. The object Of this was
that man should be surrounded by his
friends and neighbors, who would see that
be had a fair trial, and was not made the
victim Of oppression or a conspiracy. He
would also be where he could readily obtain
Witnesses and not be subjected TO extraordi-
nary expenses. The practice among the
French, Spanish, Italian and other Latin
peoples has been just the reverse Of this
An justice has been administered from the
Capital Men accused Of crime have been
taken TO Paris, Madrid, Rome, or the Capitals
Of the Provinces FOR trial, and, if found guilty
have been executed or otherwise punished
there This makes il difficult for the Italians
TO understand why the President cannot dc
as the King Of Italy might do in a similar

PROTECTION is the order Of the day. The
people of Baltimore are reused to the fact
that the oyster must be protected, or one
great source of the city's wealth is doomed
to au early disappearance. They don't want
protection by tariff against the pauper oys-
tiers Of Europe, and still less do they want
any more OF the opera bouifs style of pro-
lection given by the celebrated "oyster navy
of Maryland the principal object Of which
is to furnish a few politicians with fat berths,
and give an annual iunketing to the Gov
ernor Of Maryland, with company OF
choice spirits, and some spirits which are not
so choice. The proposition is to abolish the
present system, and adopt in its stead some
thing like that of Connecticut, where GER
tain portion of the beds are retained as COM
mon property, and everybody allowed to
