letters from Earl Russell TO her while his
wife was separated from him, in which he
showed his low, vicious nature. Such liter.
ature should never appear in public print.
These letters professed TO declare Russell's
love for Lady Scott, although at the same
time he was only twenty-five years Of age
and she a woman Of forty five.
The reading Of these letters has disgusted
the Judge so completely with Lady Scott
that they have proved her destruction.
The whole case is tainted to foul de-
gree. Lady Cardigan's vile letter TO Lady
Scott, warning her Of Earl Russell's bad
vices, shows that Lady Cardigan is none
too gentle. The case, from its degrading
nature, should be settled by sending all the
parties concerned in IL TO prison.

WEYLERS DEFEAT.

Spain has every reason TO be disguised
with General Weyler's failure to conquer
Maceo, yet Canovas del Castillo declares
that he approves of Weyler's excuses, and
thinks he did well to give up hurting In
the mountains for Maceo and return to
Havana.
Yet, say what Premier Canovas will, he
cannot make the Spanish people agree with
him in his estimate of Weyler, who, with
his large army, cannot conquer them, and
now proposes to starve them out of their
stronghold.
What must Spain think of the General
who with the extensive army sent to Cuba
and an expenditure that is claimed to be
$100,O00,000 year, cannot conquer the in
surgents who have only about 5000 mens
Is it surprising that Spain desires Wey-
ler's recall. And yet what good would a
change dor
Will the $4,000 additional troops expected
in Cuba in December succeed in dislodgine
Maceo from his mountain Businesses The
absurdity of surprising that Maceo's supplies
be visible to every one.
Spain is angry with the United States
but If she turns to her own Incompetent
and corrupt leaders, military and political
she will find the real cause of the failure Il
subdue Cuba.
There is no lack Of men OF abundant talen
in Spain, and were Marshal Martinez Cam
pos in power, we think he would soon fine
way of effecting an honorable settlemen
of the Cuban question. He is a qualified
and experienced man of affairs, perhaps tn
ablest of Spanish Senators. 1t was baC
day for Spain when Canovas del Castillo
Inundated him by removing him from thu
office of Captain General OF Cuba ant
putting in his place military charlatar
like Weyler, who has wasted thousands @
SPANS soldiers aud hundreds of millions o
her money, and then makes an ingloriou
retreat to save his head, on which a pric
has been set by Maceo.

SCANDAL IN "HIGH LIFE"

We see that the latest dispatches from
London regarding the disgusting scsndalin
which Earl Russell and his mother in law,
Lady Scott, are involved state that Lady
Scott stands very good chance of being
sentenced TO at least years imprisonment.
II is declared that Earl Russell's vices are
well known, and the case reveals once more
the frightful state OF immortality that exists
among the English nobility.
These scandals in "high life" are nearly
always kept out of the courts, but some.
times it is impossible, as in the present case,
and then a condition Of things is revealed
that must shock even hardened criminals.
Lady Scott and her daughter, Countess
Russell, have pursued Earl Russell ever
since his wife applied for divorce with a
hatred that could only be felt by angry
women. This feeling has overcome them
so completely that it has driven them to an
extreme that has defeated their case.
Lady Scott, who is a well-preserved wo-
man. according 10 accounts, and over fifty
yesrs of age, forced her lawyer to read love

HA WAILAN ANNExA 7YON.

For some time past, as the period of Mr..
Cleveland's administration has been draw
ing to close, the subject of Hawaiian an
nexation has been again thrust upon public
attention. We are being assured by various
persons that Hawaii is anxious TO be an
nexed, that Hawaii is willing, that the ire
public" is growing impatient of our delay
and so on.
II really does not matter little bit what
Hawaii wants" or thinks or "hopes," in
this relation. II Is for the United States TO
consider the case and act upon it for our
own best interests.
II is unfortunate that the question of Ha-
wall was ever allowed to become a political
issue in the first instance, and a personal
one in the next. Mr.. Cleveland is partially,
but only partially, responsible for the latter
case, his personal enemies in his own party
did the rest. II Is out of both relations now
and ought to be kept out
The question to consider is whether we
are sufficiently earthhungry to drop into
the British habit of seizing every available
foot Of territory that we can get without
fight. AS policy that is detestable. Is
there any special reason why We should
complicate our social and political affairs by
injecting into our citizenship an indigesti-
BILE mass of natives, Japanese and Chinese
10 the amount of some $4,000, in order to
confer American privileges on 5000 white
men?
The argument is made that we need Ha-
wall as we need Cuba-as an out post. For
what and against whata A year or two
hence and we shall be impregnable on our
own soil What more do we wantP Is
not this continent big enough for us-is ii
not rather the part OF wisdom to strengthen

CR0KERS ANNOUNCEMENT.

The latest announcement of Mr.. Croker
is that he has decided, after looking the field
over, not 10 remain In New York city for
the next municipal campaign, bat to return
to Europe TO look out for his racing in :
terests.
This announcement would seem TO be a
very strong indication that the great ex.
Chief OF Tammany entertains much doubt
as 10 the outlook for Tammany's success
next year. 1t was well understood in Tam
many circles that the boss had returned be.
cause he began to realize the necessity OF
replenishing his private fortunes, the large
expense of living, combined with unfortu-
nate ventures on the race track, having made
very heavy inroads upon his savings. Then,
too, opportunities for "speculating in real
estate" are less plentiful abroad than they
are here, and as everybody knows it was in
"real estate" that Mr.. Croker made his for
tune. His conclusion seems TO imply that
the real estate outlook Is no more cheering,
In his opinion, than the political outlook.
We trust that this will not have depress-
ing effect upon the real estate market Of the
great city of the Empire State, for 1t cannot
be considered a fair test Of the situation.
1t must be borne in mind that the real
estate conditions which enabled Croker to
become enormously rich within the four or
five years were not ordinary ones. No
ordinary ventures in houses and lots yield
such sudden and fabulous profits as his did,
according TO reports. OF course he is looking
for like conditions again now, and the fact
that he does not find them should not be re.
garded as foreshadowing decline of values
in New York City or elsewhere. 1t is barely
possible also that the very large Republican
majority in both branches Of the Legisa-
ture of New York State, and the presence
Of Republican Governor at Albany for two
years longer, have sc ne effect in clouding
the clearness of Mr.. Croker's judgment.
