Nalietoa's Warriors Parade with Heads

APIA, Samoa, via San Francisco, Aug g.
War broke out between MalietoA's and
Mataafa's forces, but the warships Of the
three powers interyened and stopped the
fighting Nataafa and his chiefs surren-
dered. His loss was 80 killed and 20
wounded. Malietoa's army consisted Of
about 1000 fighting men. armed with rifles
and axes. This army started on the morn
ing of July toward the seat OF war.
Malietoa's army was far more powerful
than Mataafa's, having plenty of arms and
ammunition and many more warriors.
When the attack came Mataafa's forces,
being short Of ammunition, rctreated.
Mataafa, seeing no hope of success and
having lost his nephew, who was killed,
ordered 10 boats 70 lie of Mulund, Mali
etoa's residence and stronghold, for the
purpose of drawing Malietoa's attention,
while, in the meantime. darkness setting
In, he lowered his ensign, cut his flag pole
and set fire to Male.
This town was formerly the kings resi-
dencc and was beautifully laid out in
Samoan style. Mataafa's strategy with
the boats being successful in keeping the
army off, he departed with his followers
for the island of Savia, another OF the
Samoan group.
That afternoon the conquerors, Malie-
toais warriors, returned to Apia with she
spoils of victory. These spoils consisted
of the heads OF human beings. Each man
who had the luck to cut the head off ar
enemy marched through the streets of

A CHICAGO paper complains bitterly
that Chicago has been misrepresented
relative to her relation to the Worlds
Fair and her intentions concerning visit
ors. 1t will not be long before the people
will be able to judge between Chicago
and her critics. We are inclined to think
that great deal that has been said about
high prices in Chicago and contemplated
extortion, is without other foundation
than the imagination of the authors of
the story. We have known of much in
quiry relative to accommodations, and
have been surprised at the reasonable
ness of the terms that have been returned
in reply. Let us hope that all the stories
about the Garden City landlords and
their alleged grasping are untrue for the
sake of the American name.

DRUNKENNEss AND CRIME.

Italy has abolished capital punishment
and substituted life Imprisonment. For
drunkards who are criminals, it has pro-
vided asylums, on the theory that crime
with drunkenness should not be pun
lshed as is crime in sobriety. But an
able writer in Partisan review believes
this to be unwise, and we are inclined to
concur with him, that drunkenness
should be declared by law punishable, as
well as crimes committed by the
drunken, provided it was within the
power of the person to have avoided get
ting drunk.
Why not? Why not hold the man
who deliberately makes himself drunk
fully responsible for the crime; why not
hold him to as strict accountability for
crime committed while drunk, as if done
in sobriety? Our laws now declare that
drunkenness shall not be an excuse for
crime. But the courts hold that as intent
is the essential element of guilt, it may
be shown that the defendant was in such
mental condition by reason of drunken
ness, as to be unable to harbor intent.
Thus practically the law forbidding the
plea of drunkenness is avoided in most
of the courts. The French essayist to
whom we refer, says:
Drunkenness should be visited by more
severe penalty when the alcoholic excitement
was purposely brought about in order to
strengthen the determination to commit the
crime; 1t should be punishable with eXtenua-
uon by the magistrate when it occurs in per-
sons OF weak intelligence, whose power of en-
curing aicohoHc drinks is diminished by the
Inlerlority OF their cerebral organization.
drunkenness is lnexcusable in persons who
know tney cannot drink without danger.
1here is, III word, no admissible excuse for
drunkenness unless alcoholism has produced
cerebral LESSONS, from which result a real
alienation of mind. l believe that the inno-
Vatlons of the italian penal system in regard
to alcoholic persons may be dangerous as
much 1or the lnmunities which these innoVa-
tions give to alcoholic persons as Tor the ex-
treme latitude allowed to magistrates.
1t will be said that our laws now regard
drunkenness as a crime, which is true in
a sense. Municipal laws do recognize it
as petty otfense, and the penal codes of
the States define the term common
drunkard." But what should be done is
to make willful drunkenness-not drunk
enness which has become disease-so
grave an offense against society that the
punishment will be severe and therefore
restraining. This is one of the cases where
in severity of the law should be parallel
with the need for celerity. AS rule,
severe punishments defeat themselves
thus, to make drunkenness a capital
otfense would result in the law becoming
a dead letter. But to treat it as no more
than petty offense, for which forfeiture
of small bail will answer, is running to
the other extreme, because it imposes no
practical restraint.

RIGHTEOUS DECISION.

The gerrymander has received a set
back in the New York Court of Appeals.
The Supervisors of Brooklyn in making
up the Assembly Districts so adjusted
things by drawing devious boundary
lines that the Republicans could get next
to no representation in the Assembly,
and the Democrats would get about all
the representation. How this was done
it is unnecessary to explain, further than
to say that adroit politicians know how
to group communities in a way in COM
posing districts, so that there shall not be
opposition strength enough in any one
district to elect Constable, and this,
though in the aggregate of the districts
the opposition vote may very greatly
ouunumber the machine vote. In other
words, the gerrymander defeats the rep
resentation of the majority. That was
what was done by the Supervisors of
Brooklyn. The Republicans of Brook
lyn determined to test the strength of the
gerrymander before the courts, and the
result is that the Court of Appeals holds
against the manipulators on the ground
that the plain intent OF the Constitution
is that there shall be fair representation
in the Assembly. even though there is an
omission in the Constitution of pro-
vision requiring the districts to be made
as nearly equal in population as may be
done. That is to say, because there is no
such provision in the Constitution it does
not follow that the Supervisors are au-
thorized to make the districts as unequal

Is SINCERITY a positive or a negative
quality? Is it an absence of deceit or the
possession of a recognizable force-or,
rather, the motor that creates force? The
question is one that is pleasantly debated
in the press by essayists, and with a good
deal of benefit, for it cultivates thought
fulness. For our part we regard SINGER
ity as positive force and an affirmative
virtue. Without the quality of vigor we
cannot conceive of any sincerity. That
which is not force, but has the seeming
of sincerity, will surely, under trial,
prove to be weakness and cowardice. As
ePhiladelphia Ledger puts it, sincerity
is great deal more than simplicity; it is
positive power stunning deceit, purify
ing and ennobling the whole life.'

DISPATCHES announce that England is
making very great additions to her naval
outfit Besides sending to rapid compile
ton ships of war now under construc-
ton, she is to build several first-class pro-
tected cruisers, large number of the
second-class, and ten torpedo-boats. 1t
is not justifiable to conclude that Eng
land by this activity looks forward to the
probability OF war. She is simply fol-
lowing her well settled policy to keep her
naval force abreast with the foremost,
and to put it in advance if possible. In
naval construction the United States has
recently made advances that challenges
England to compare with them in the
matter of speed and eGse of ship hand
ling. italian battleships are afoat which
are confessedly stronger, and more pow
erIul destructive agencies than any of the
battleships of England, because they are
lifted with more modern armor and guns,
and are capable of being more rapidly
maneuvered in action. France now has
two ships which cannot be overtaken by
the swiftest cruisers England possesses.
Torpedo-boats are in commission in
Japan superior to any England has, and
at least one is owned by the United States
that is infinitely superior to any naval
bottom of like character owned by
England. The latter is simply doing the
wise thing IN attempting to put herself
in position to retain the claim she has
so long preferred, that she is mistress of
the seas. We dispute it with her-in fact,
the day has passed when any nation can
maintain dominion of the great waters.
Modern invention; the advances in mer-
chant as well as naval shipping; the facili-
ties which any nation may possess to
ht out ships of war; the intimacy of COM
munication between nations, and it's rap
idity-all these have put it out of the pos
sibillty of any nation being the sole dom
inant upon the high seas. 1t is well that
it is so; it is an assurance of more secure
peace, guarantee narrowing the possi-
bilities of war, and by reducing the like
lihood of conflicts of arms conserving
more and more the arts of peace.

A COMPLIMENT TO CALIFORNIA

At the Trans-mississippi Congress in
Ogden the California delegation main
tanned headquarters at which the fruits
and wines of the State, together with
some other seasonable products and some
examples of manufacture were ex-
hibited. The large delegation fairly
representing all sections of the State.
the rural and the metropolitan inter-
ests of California, was a unit in its
endeavor to entertain with liberaiity
without ostentation, and to impart in
formation concerning the State, without
obtrusiveness and vanity. That the mem
bers were entirely successful in these re-
spects, and were very happy in maintain
ing State dignity, its reputation for his
pitality and its desire for the input of ad-
ditional population and capital to aid in
the development of the State, was made
evident by the expressions of the press
and the delegates from the twenty States
and Territories. But no compliment in
return for the action of the delegation was
so gracefully paid, and no tribute to the
State so we'll put, as that by the Salt LAX 9
Tribune, which said:
There is something very great and grand
about that State OF California. All her life she
has possessed a reputation for generosity, and
at every public gathering where Caliiornians
meet in friendly rivalry or in direct com mpeti-
ton with her sister States it is a fashion of
the Golden State to outshIne the others Her
delegation came to Ogden loaded down with
fruits and flowers and with the expressed
juice of the grape. She makes no boasts that
she cannot verify, and she does II with q Law
ish extravaganza which is, we presume, only
a generous inheritance from the old flush
days. She has a right TO all that because she
has IN her State an empire by itself. Could
sne be wrenched from the continent and
pushed out into the sea, she would posse s
every attribute necessary TO build up great
empire. she would give her people gold.
while feeding them upon fruits and upon
honey. She would give her people all manner
of treas ures from Held and from mine, and she
would carry with IL "a climate as lovely as that
of Italy and as infinite in its variety A great
State is California, and the fad is empha-
sized whenever her children meet in competi-
ton or in friendly rivalry with the people of
any other State.

in population as they please. A striking
feature of the decision is that the Super
visors who operated so meanly and
played the gerrymander game SO brazenly
are all Democrats, and the court that rem
ders the decision is also composed in the
majority of Democrats-and the Judge
who wrote the decision is a Demo-
cratic light-which may be said to go to
prove that there is not, after all, such po-
litical bias on the bench as the enemies of
