LAW SET AT NAUGHT.

On Tuesday evening this COM
munity was treated to an example
of border-life barbarity, which, al
though treated in a more or less
humorous manner in the town Cos
sip, can be regarded as nothing
more or less than an indecent blot
on the good name of the city, to
say nothing of the laws of the land.
It makes no difference how extern
uating the circumstance may have
been or how richly the members of
the self-appointed vigilance COM
mittee NAV have considered their
victim deserved punishment, there
is absolutely no argument that can
be brought forward that will save
the men implicated in this tar and
feathering party from the odium of
cowardice and an utter lack of
those qualities which go to make
upa respected citizen.
If this city has come to a point
where personal or public wrongs
are to be redressed by vigilance
committees and white cap parties,
it is time the people began to look
about themselves and adopt vigor-
Gus treatment for some of the indi-
viduals within our borders. The
whole affair smacks Of the semi.
civilization in districts where law
and order is a theoretical general
ity-a good thing to talk about but
seldom brought into practice. If
person makes himself obnoxious to
the public or any select class of in
dividuals, the ways and means for
bringing him to account are amply
sufficient without going back to the
heathenish and cowardly methods
of border ruffians. The law must
be respected at any cost and in the
present instance the only thing left |
for the authorities to do is to ferret |
out the perpetrators of the deed |
and bring the law to bear in such q |

THE city council of New Orleans
recently adopted plans and voted
100000 for the construction of a
new and complete system of sew
erage. 1t will probably take four
or five years to complete the work,
but within year or two a good
portion of the dangerous features
of the present system will be done
away with. The city has evident
ly been counting disease long
enough and is now ready to pay a
handsome price to secure greater
immunity from epidemics result
ing from poor sanitation. A penny
saved is by no means a penny
earned when the money is with
held from improvements in sani-
tary conditions.

THE fears that the sensational
papers Of the United States would
exaggerate the meagre reports car
ried by the Monowai were FORUM
ately unfounded, for all of which
the people of this country will be
duly grateful If the later reports
sent out by the Australia are
handled in an equally sensible
manner, the injury done the coun-
try abroad will not reach the
monumental figures that have been
pictured in the public mind.
If all reports can be kept
within the limits Of strict truth
there is very good reason to believe
that the people abroad will con-
tinue to hold a very fair opinion
of US.

CAPTAIN MAHAN, who tells Of his
experience in modern naval war
fare in the August number of the
Century, says that Farragut's opin-
ion that "the best defence against
the enemy is we'll directed fire
from your cwn guns" is indicated.
Offence is more important than de-
fence, and the most effective form
of offence is against the crew aud
not the ship. The ship may be
hurt by heavy guns but the crew
suffers more from the small rapid
firing guns. "The rapid firing gun
of moderate calibre has just now
fairly established it's position as the
greatest offensive power in naval
warfare" Captain Mahau is so
thoroughly convinced of the effec-
tiveness of rapid firing that be is
inclined to approve of the risk tax
en- in keeping a supply of loose
ammunition on deck near the guns.
The Yalu battle was considered
drawn. Summed up broadly, it
presents the successful resistance
of two ships, armored, with a joint
displacement of $1,000 tons, to five
shipe, partly protected, of $4,000
tons. This agrees with the general
teachings of warfare, that force
concentrated under one command |
is more efficient than that dissem-
mated among several. What en-
abled the japanese to draw the
fight was their forty-five quick-fr-
ing guns in opposition to the slow
fire of eight II inch guns. Re-
garding the question between heavy
armor and heavy guns, the Yalu
fight declares for armor. Com
mander McGiffin says that the Chi
nese ironclads were struck by doz-
ans of armor-piercing projectiles
rom the 1Sinch Canet guns of the
Japanese and from the 1O-inch
Armstrong guns, but not a single
shot penetrated more than four
inches.

Timely Topics
The rapid development Of

The rapid development Of
the killing power of weapons
has been a source of great ex-
pense to various governments
during the last ffteensyears.
Such progress has been
made in the development OF
small arms, that ten men arm
ed with modern rifles, equal
in fighting efficiency five or
six times their numbers armed
in the old style.
The new armament as put in
operation in the Chinese-Japan
war showed a tremendous de-
structive power, but as yet the
most terrible and most modern
contrivances of battle have not
received practical tests in act
ual conflict. The new Maxim
gun, it is said, practically
means that two armies equip
ped with these weapons and
placed opposite each other,
would destroy one another al
most at the first discharge.
This is magnificent, but it is
not war. The logical concIu-
sion would be the disarma-
ment of the world, but it is
doubtful whether such a happy
issue will be reached, until ex-
perience has demonstrated the
actual necessity for the preser-
walton of the numerical balance
of sexes among civilized ma
tons.
Still the world moves on,
still the progress of science
forces its way to the front; the
manufacturers are gradually
out surely reaching their acme

lay in the manufacture of arti-
les for the emancipation of

HE DID NOT BRING THE BOOKS
How Daniels Caused a oil
a Garnishment Case.

When Rees Z. Daniels appeared in Jusuce
McElwain's court Friday afternoon, ne did
not bring with him the minute book OF the
Danville Coal Company, together with the
deeds and PAPERS relating to the owner
ship OF the property, as was directed IN
his subpoena as a witness. The case on tria!
had little to do wifi the company beyond
a mere garnishment. but Daniels evidently
did not want TO advertise his company 5
private affairs for the OF MS
competitors.
The case was that of Wood VS. Davis,
on an old store bin. and the company was
sought TO be garnisheed against paying
Davis for coal 'ands he formerly owned.
Justice McElwain took the main case under
advIsement on a question of the statute
of limitations. and the garutshment case
viii be heard later. About the limitations,
the defendant had made a payment or SbM
after the expiration. thus probably reviN!ng
the debt for the balance OF 5000.

the runs made by Samson. Duncan and
Abbott. Duncan made. the best all-round
plays. Chew took the lead on the racine
side. The Pacihcs made a gallant fight,

SPAIN WITHOUT A CABINET.

Her Ministry Resigns rs a Result Of Ell
Globo Affair.
MADRID, March 1.-the Spanish
ministry has resigned in consequence Of
the trouble in the chamber Of deputies
Saturday, when all the reporters with
drew from the house as a protest against
the official defense made by the min
lister of war Of the officers who attacked
and wrecked the Offices Of Ell GlObo, the
organ of Senior CASTELAR,. 1t is probable
that Field Marshal Matinee Campos will
form q lei cabinet.
An explanation Of the crisis is that
according 70 the military code those
who Islander the army through the press
ought to be tried by courtmartial, when,
according to the press laws, such mat
tiers ought to be submitted to a jury in
the supreme court. Despite this the
minister of war, conforming to the de-
sires expressed by the officers of the
garrison, proposed to the cabinet that q
courtmartial be summoned to try the
cases. A majority Of the ministers, rep
resenting the civil elements, opposed
this procedure, whereupon Prime Min
lister Sagasta declared that it was i'm
possible for him to continue longer in
Office.

Of making his living by diligent work.
and that he was therefore not to be
treated as an enemy Of mankind. Since

class Of men more quick to respond or
willing to pay careful regard to tho
oourtesies and the confidence Of gentle

have myself met newspaper man fairly
and frankly l have never known one Of

EDISON BELIEVES IN IT.

The Electric Wizard Talks About the New
ly Discovered Atmospheric Element.
NEW YORK, March l9.-As soon as
Thomas A. Edison can find the time
he means to learn something about
argon the newly discovered gaseous
constituent of the atmospere. MI. Edi-
o says that he not only believes in
the discovery of Lord Bayleigh and his
co-workers, but thinks it probable that
further experiments will disclose other
new elements in the air.
"To tell the TRUTH" said the electric
wizard, 1.-The discovery of argon is fresh
evidence Of how little we know even of
the commonest matters. The air has
been analysed over and over again for
half a century without suspecting that
it held any new elements."
Mr.. Edison explained that his inves-
LEGATIONS concerning his incandescent
lamp showed him phenomena which
could only be explained on the hypothe.
sis of q new element, but he was unable
to say whether argon was responsible
for those phenomena.
