cAMpos ON CUBA.

Marshal Campos, former captain general
OF Cuba, has spoke n in the CWtes on his ad-
ministrationofthe island an d On the Spanish
governments policy, as 1t is and as it ought
to be- He teiieves that recognition by the
United States of the belligerency OF the in
surgents would really he a good thing for
Spain, us il would give her freer hand than
she has now. Far more important. however.
than this expression OF opinion wasCampos'
declaration that Spain had estIanged the
and deliberately breaking all promises OF
reform. These should be redeemed at once.
he thought, as a matter OF horor which
neither the nation nor The governmc mt could
afford to disregard.
pspIeasing as Marshal Campos' utter
ances were TO Premier Canovas. lie reared
much more gently than people had been led
TO expect from what had been said con-
cerning his intentions. But his arraignment
of the Spanish government is quite thor
ough and severe enough to give warrant to
the Cuban Insurgents for the rebellion in
which they are engaged and for their re-
fusaI 10 entertain any further promises or
any proposition TO lay down their arms as
a necessary precedent to tie granting OF
administrative reforms. 1t is not reforms
they want now,- but independence, and
they will not again listen TO the voice OF the
Spaniard, charm he never so wisely.

NOT oU1TE ENOUGH YET.

By appropriation made by Congress at the
last session about S1SO, 900 becomes avail
able now for the construction of new pub
lie school buildings and the remodeling and
repairing 7of>oid ones. Besides the new
Western High School twenty-six school
rooms will be added to the present capacity,
affording accommodation for something
like 1900 more pupils. This is an i'm
portant step forward, but good deal more
remains to bedone. Aconservative estimate
of the number of children for whom there is
no accommodation at all In the public
schools at this time, is 5000.
II only halliday sessions are continued to
be given. as is now-tte case, then. of course,
the additional room will be almost enough
for the immediate demand. Every child.
however. at the National Capital should
have a full day at school for nine months
in the year, for it is for this that the people
are taxed. To accomplish this, accummo-
dations for at least 5000 more children
should be provided, for not less than this
number now enjoy but halliday tuition.
The public school system of the District
of Columbia deservedly ranks among the
very best in the country, in fact it is not
surpassed by any, save, perhaps, one.
But we lag in the rear of u good many
cities in regard to the sufficiency of school
accommodations, especially for beginners
More school room is decided for the lower
grades. An expenditure of from $500, 200
to.S4o0 900 would probably give us every
thing in that line that is wanted, and to
this end the efforts of tine Commissioners
and of our people should be bent when Con
gress takes hold of the next District ap-
preparation bill. The community cannot
afford to assume the responsibility for thu
failure of any child to obtain a sufficient
school training, and no money is spent to
better purpose than that which goes fol
the building and equipping of schools.
The evening times., 1896-07-04
GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.


Within a stone-throw of the National
Capital in one of the counties OF Maryland
Immediately adjoining the District of CO.
lumbia the law of God and man has been
trampled under foot. Within one week two
Maryland jails have been forced by Inobs.
and prisoners, placed there for safe-keep-
ing until the time of their trial, dragged
from their cells and hanged. The iynching
OF Sidney Randolph is, If anything, more
disgraceful affair than that of Cooking.
for in his case grave doubts existed as to h.
being concerned in the assault upon the
Buxton family. The Washington detectives.
it will he remembered. have all along re-
pudiated the theory of Randnlph's oonnec-
ton with the crime. and have strongly ey-
pressed their belief in his innocence. Even
the Baltimore Officers have failed to gather
anything more than rather weak crcum-
stantial evidence The veil covering the
mystery of tie Gaithersburg tragedy has
not yet been lifted. Is it not pussibie that
some one interested in keeping it untouched
instigated the lynching?
The circumstances surrounding The Rock
vile lyrching furnish conclusive argument
in favor Of Il law making the sheriff and
jailer of u county personally responsible
FOR the safe keeping Of prisoners placed in
their charge. Take this latest affair, for
example. In The middle OF the night
mob comes to the jail, awakeus the jailer
and Informs him that prisoner is to lie de-
n Alihnnph lynrhiprr h
been made possible in nearby county
but few days before by that same story,
the jailer takes no heed, nor does the ap-
pearance of a masked mob give him an
inklipg of its purpose. Instead of getting
a shotgun and warning the mob to leave
on pain of his giving it peppering, he
partly opens the door, then partly closes it,
and the crowd rushes n and does its work.
There is not much doubt that in the case of
an ordinary murder, man acting as that
| taller did could be tried as an accessory
| before the act.
The flimsiness of county jails is also in
excusabie. This and the stupidity, IL moth
| ing worse, of the average jailer, give a
| mob all the opportunity it needs to wreak
| its vengeance upon tis selected victim. A
| Jail should be SO constructed as to be able
to withstand the attack of an ordinary
| mob and SO guarded as to make approach
to its main entrance, especially in the
night, a matter of some difficulty. Again.
| the wisdom of the recently enacted Lou
| isiana law is demonstrated. II county
| had to pay a fine of $4,000 for every
| lynching within its borders 1t would pre-
| fer to build iails not quite so readily ac-
| cessible to a mob as the majority of them
now are, and If a sheriff were to forfeit
| his office in the event of a prisoner being
taken and lynched he would be more care
full in the selection of his iailer.
| The Rockville lynching following SO
| closely upon that at Port Tobacco, i'm
| poses upon the governor of Maryland the
duty to institute extraordinary proceed.
ings looking to the discovery of the guilty
parties in both and their trial and punish
| ment for murder.

DIPLOMACY is FUTILE.

The events in the island have been such
as to render futile mere dipiumacy The
concert of the powers does not impress the
Christian insurgents. who. no doubt, have
in mind the much-heralded concert in the
case of Armenia, which was Iaug he'd to
scorn by the sultan. The Cretan Christians
have no faith in diplomatic promises. having
had experience OF their wort thI esSuess
through many years Of Turkish misrule aud
they mean to bring about. if possible, de-
cisive conflict that will overthrow the
Tur kish regime.
A conference of the Christian leaders,
held yesterday at Kampos, resulted in
determination to disregard the offers of
Georgi Pasha Berovitch, the new Christian
governor, unless the reforms promised are
solidly guaranteed by the powers. II the
| governor convenes the assembly only about

The debate on the Cretan situation in
the House Of Commons last night showed
that the dominant sentiment among the
Unionists and the unanimous feeling of

| Of armed intervention. Mr. Curzon. the
parliamentary secretary OF the foreign Of.

willing to go.

use the fleet to prevent Turkish troops

the naturalization OF the island under Eu-

shutdown occurred at all of the
mines OF the Metropolitan Iron and

1 800 men are forced into idieness. The

SIR HERCULES sNuBBED.

Sir Hercules Robinson, the high commits
sioner of South Africa. was IN London for
three weeks before being accorded aD inter
view with Mr.. Chamberlain. He has been
snubbed, iu short. Tie colonial secretary
pins his faith on Sir Graham Bower, whose
daily cable dispatches supportMr. Chamber
lain 10 urging the cabinet to assent to
large increase of the British forces in Ma
tai and 10 Rhodesia. Sir Hercules Rob-
inson, who has seen other ministers, holds
TO the opinion that the troops now there,
with the volunteers, will suffice TO crush the
native insurgents and that the dispatch OF
relnforCemeuts would only incense the
Beers. Sir Hercules will return to Cape
Town as soon as his health permits.
Lieut.. Eloff, President Krgcru's grandson,
is floating around London in company with
his cousin, loom Paul's" nephew. The two
young Beers completely set at naught Tho
accepted idea of the Boer as an ungainil
and stolid product OF generations of Trek
kers." Standing six feet, slim, handsome
and bright young men, they look the sort
who know how TO enjoy life and have the
npacities with the knowledge. Both speak
English well, though with peculiar ac-
cent. Both dress well, and have kind of
couruy and graceful manner, which it
would be well for Some of the swell
English officers to acquire.
The monopoly of the trade of the great
Niger River. which was acquired by the
chartered company OF the Niger. is seri
ously threatened. At the outset Of the
company's operations the British traders
generally got off well. as compared witt
the treatment a ccorded TO French. American
and other traders.
