WALLER's HARD CASE,

We have no sympathy with carping
comparisons between the United States
and other governments, but the case Ct
ex-Consul Walled almost provokes an
American to wish that instead of being a
former representative of this government
no had been saloonkeeper under British
protection. Not only is Waller still in
Jail, pleading month after month for help
from his country. but his wife and children
have been compelled TO leave Madagas-
car and are penniless and dependent upon
the charity Of strangers. They sought
passage on the United States ship Castine,
but were repulsed They appealed to the
American consul at Mauritius whittier
they had been conveyed through the
kindness Of a fellow countryman. but he
could not help them. They have been
there since the middle of June. and 1t is
August. They are without means, yet all
the vast resources Of the treasury cannot
succor them. The husband and father IS
in a foreign prison. and all the prestige
and glory OF the American nation cannot
force a satisfactory explanation from the
French government. IL he abused the
hospitality OF the country he was residing
IA. or was guilty Of an offense against in
ternationai law. II would be easy TO prove
81, and he must bear the consequences OF
his own acts. But II. as seems likely. he
Is innooent. lie ought not 10 remain in Jail
one hour. The action of the commander OF
the UniteI States ship is such that the
American people should demand an'expla-
nation.

TIE TAKING OF TRINIDAD

A baIky horse was once much more
common than Of late years. Not only has
the decrease In price led to the killing or
aband onment OF the worthless animals.

most worthless, but the cause seems TO

peratIng form IN which a neurotic disease
ever manifested itself.
One who has ever wrathfully wrestled
with a balky horse or settled down TO
await his pleasure with despairilg pa
thence cannot fail to have reached the
conclusion that no known language has
ever reached the adequate copioasness Of
ford expletive. In the middle or a
stream. on the narrowest ledge or q
mountain path. and at a point which
could not be seen by an on-comiag team,
when the greatest haste was rS~sed. the
baiky horse would plant his footstep on
the earth and bulge not for plea or
threat. The large liquid eyes would look
silently. uninteiligently into vacancy, toe

pose. When the spell was over he would
move, not before. OF course. there were
drivers who would lash the animal till
weals streaked his flesh. but this cruelty
was no more efiicacious than soft words.
A favorite remedy with the Beers Of
South Africa, where dangerous travel
added to the terrors of balkiness, was to
tie up the forefoot with strap to the
surcingle and keep the horse standing on
three feet until the position became pain
ful and. being released. the brute would
get FESTIVE and give up the contest.
Whether this were efficacious in itself or
merely substituted patience for threshing
and was finally rewarded by the passing
OF the spell cannot be determined. But
patience was the best policy for the
driver. whatever form the remedy took.
One day last week a resident of Atlanta
