MOB Law AT KEY VEST

A letter from a staff correspondent concern
ing the Hatfield Mccoy feud in West Virginia,
printed recently in TIE TRIBUNE, was closely
followed by the news that the TIatiieldS had de-
cided to give up fighting for good. Another
letter from Key West, describing the peculiar
notions of law and order entertained by some
Of the Cuban and }ahaman inhabitants, has
been attended by equally significant results
The letter pointed out that the reputable cit
liens, by culpahy winbing at open violations
of the law and tacitly connying at the escape
of the offenders, were repeating the clrcnm-
stances that led to the New-OrieanS lynchlng
and were inviting similar issue.
These statements excited much serious dis
cusson in the most sOutherly city of the United
States. Their verificdtion has been cuiousy
speedy and complete. Last month well-knoWn
Cuban was aSsasSnated. Four suspects" were
sent to Jail, and at once employed the shalpeSt
criminal lawyer in Florida, who lives at Tampa
70 defend them. He applied to Judge Mitchell
who also lives at Tampa, for u writ OF habeas
corpus. The Judge autographed the Sheriff OF
Key West to bring the prisoners to Tampa for
hearing The people, however refused to let
the Sheriff depart. The Sheriff, negro, tele-
eYaphcd to Tampa that the prisoners could not
he removed without blOodShcd. Then the Judge
sensIbly went to Key West himself, and on new
evidence remanded the prisoners for trial On
thi, the inhabitants decided that it was timo
for further action. At a mlss-mecting nine
teen of the worst criminals in the city, some
Of them already under sentence of death in
Havana. were ordered TO quit the island Most
of them promptly obeyed. One was taken from
the captain Of the night police and put aboard
the Cuban mail steamer and has since been
parrottcd. This capture created big STIR
among the wcll-disp6sed and struck terror to
the hearts of others.
Kew West is now experiencing an unmlStak-
able Spasm of law Observance. Nevertheless,
threats are freely uttered that if the imprisoned
assassins are not convicted they may he taken
from the iail and lynched. il would be thou
sand pitieS if this should happen. Nobody VIII
cayil mt the deportation of suspected outlaws
undor the circumstances But since 50 easy a
method of solving difficulties is at hand, out
side opinion will refuse to Justify resort to
bodiIv violence. Heretofore Key West has pos
sossed every essential for the laws enforcement
save the disposition Now that this Is aroused
the good citizens should make the most OF it
The energy expended in promoting popular
unrising would ordinarily suffice for the due
administration of the written law-an achieve
mont for which the escape Of one or two pos
sibe cuIprits would be n cheap price indeed,

THE NEV SETTLEMENT And THE PCB

The veteran observer who writes TO "Ihe
New-Yorl Sum over the signature OF Matthew
Marshall discusses the new form Of debt state
mcnt and the renewals Of bonds at > per cent.
His observations are cuIiously interesting, rs a
roulv from the point of view of a trained imam
cier and non-partisan to much of the pickering
and forced criticism which appears il partisan
journals # is stated, properly enough. that any
change in the form of official statements is in
itself to he regretted because II tends for the
time to confuse the minds Of some. Changes
should therefore be adopted only where clear
and sufficient reason appears to OverbaGnce the
obvous and inevitable disadvantage.
Mr.. Marshall rightly observes that the Treas
ury is not bankrupt when if has not cash enough
in hand to pay all at once It's debts due on de-
mand if payment of them should be demanded.
Were this So then there never was time since
the greonbacl1s were first issued when the Treas
ury was solvent. These are notes payable on
demand. and against the S3iG,0 900 of them
now outstanding the Treasury holds only the
bullion fund of 500, 900, with some small
balance of other funds. No one has imagined
that the Treasury was bankrupt while these
notes remained not only outstanding but re-
tanned 40 carefully by holders that practically
none Of them were ever presented for payment.
If such obligations are not TO he included ~
demand liabilities overbal1ncing the cash in
hand. so other obligations of like character, Mr.
Marshall reasons, are not properly to be so
treated He therefore justities the omission OF
the National bank redemption fund from de-
mand liabilities, and in like manner iustifeS
the inclusion Of deposits in National banks aS
available cash. and adds On all these points
it is mere fncal criticism 10 find fault with the
SecIetary'S views"
Respecting the bullion fund or gold re-
serve Nh Marshall says: 81 have none OF
the supcrstitious reverence foT this golden
800. 600 900 which many have, and do not
see why a part of it may not be used tempo
rarily and then replaced later on" But he
considers that such Use of part Of the gold fund
would alarm 50 many people that it should be
avoided if possible This is true. and for that
reason the Secretary does avoid the use Of any
part of Shis fund and. nevertheless, if his con
vctons regarding his duty are correct, he NAV
be not only justified but bound at some future
emergency 10 Use part Of the bullion fund foI
| the immediate protection of the public credit
renlacing the part thus used as soon thereafter

THE STATE CAMP.

II is gratifying to note that the State camp
nj PeckSkiIl is fulfilling the purpose Tor which
il was established and is maintained at COIL
Siderable eypense. The regiments which nave
occupied it this year have made good use OF the
privilege. They have drilled faithfully, pre-
served good discipline, and returned to their
armorieS better soldiers for their bnef expert
once of camp-ife. distinct advance over the
record of previous years has thus been MADE
There has been at times in the past altogether
too much skylailting and frivOlity, occasionally
mixed with something worse. Not few mem
bers of not few regiments have lost IN a
week more than they could hope to make up III
a year.
The National Guard is generously sustained
because its existence is believed TO alord d
strong guarantee of social order IN tune OF
peace and an efficient means OF preparation lof
the exigency of war. 1t can be JuSthed only
bv the evidence it supplies that 1t Is running
these purposes All things considered II Is
somewhat surprising that the cost OF splendid
armories and handsome equipment is borne not
only without complaint but with general
sense of pride and satisfaction. Such an OUT
lax for such a purpose is cOmmendable only
when The results are obvious anu o"'''''''''''
md if is much to the credit OF the citizen
soldiers in the aggregate that their conduct mas
given little cause for adverse criticism tut
still there has been some reason to fear III
years past that the frequent display OF UNI
soldierly qualities on the camp ground would
weaken the confidence of the community IN me
stability and general ServiceablenesS OF our
militia system Such Withdrawal Of public
interest and approval would be most unfortu-
nate. and if it were fully deserved would De
pccuIiarly disgraceful to those responsible fer
the forfeiture.
In view of this possibility the zeal and ell
cheney displayed this year are most welcome
and encouraging. The soldiers 60 to PeekskllI
primarily in the service OF the State, under OBJ
legations which they have no right TO forget OF
neglect. There is opportunity enough for wha'
is known as GA good time" and everybody Is
glad 90 have it improved and enjoyed after Il
rational manner that is to say, in such man
nor rs to give increased vigor and strength
and stronger sense of personal PRIDE ana
pleasure in the service. That is the condition
and mood in which the regiments have returned
this ycar. and they are entitled TO know that
tbe fact is recognized and appreciated.
