DESPERATE CONDITION OF
SPAIN.

There are riots all over Spain. In
some places they are as threatening as
an armed revolt Their frequency indi-
Gates a condition of the country which
borders closely on general insurrecsion.
Even old army officers are concerned as
leaders, so important are some OF the
movements. The authorities find olfn-
Guilty In preserving even semblance OF
order. and the whole nation is in rest
less, reeentfui and eubyersive mood.
In trying to account for these disturb
Rnces the Spanish government encour-
ages various interpretations OF them.
They are eaid to be due TO Vaccinations
of the republican party, who desire to
weaken and overthrow the monarchy.
They are attributed to the incentive OF
Americans, who are alleged to be dis
seminatipg revolutionary sentiments
among the people. They are said to be
part of a deep laid Cuban scheme to
strike Spain at home as we'll as to oust
her from Cuba. They are reported to
be caused by Protestant cabal, which
is trying TO destroy the influence of
Rome which centers about ''his Most
Catholic Majesty Alfonso Kill" They
ara laid to the charge of the Freemasops,
who stand in the light of professionals
criminals before the eyes OF the papal
&ak. Ard oh N l.
ly, they are known on all hands to be
primarily due TO the taxes, which ere
becoming so heavy on food Rnd other
articles of necessity that the people
really cannot pay them.
But what is at the root OF the whole
matter? Nothing but the fatuous stu
pidity and unrelenting cruelty of the
Spanish government IL maintaining the
war OF suppression in Cuba. Cuba is
oeasing to afford revenue to pay the cost
of her own c8stigstion and the reckless
and futile expense of Weyler's inetfec-
tive efforts must be paid by the people
in Spain. The latter are therefore being
beyond human endurance.
Their power to earn moneyis being bad
ly impaired by drafting all the youth
for transport to Cuba. Their homes
are being outraged and their mothers
made wretched by the seizure of young
men, who are sent to certain fever and
starvation, to prosecute q useless and
insane war These are the true reasons
of the insuFrectionsry spirit which is
endsngering the Spanish throne and
shaking the stability of the kingdom.

to New England territory. The fact
that the French authorities brought an
Indian to justice for killing q white
man in the region now under controversy
proves nothing. 10 the unsettled con-
ditions which prevailed In the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries any
civilized authority felt justified in
Furnishing savages. when within reach,
for wrongs inflicted on whites, and a
similar laxity attended the course OF
subjects of different European states
toward each other. The expedition OF
De Gourgues, for instance. would hard
ly be quoted AS proving that the FreDch
had a title to Florida.
The undeniabe facts are that Spain
originally owned the territory 10 dis
pute, and that Venezuela succeeded 10
the title of Spain, except as that title
may have been affected by Dutch or
French or British acquisitions. a mere
claim could not deprive either Spain or
Venezuela of domain which had been
part of Spain's South American empire.
Even military spd civil occapetion
could not establish 8 title superseding
that Of Spain without Spain's recogni-
ton or acquiescence. The fact that the
United States held northern Mexico,
on this side of the Rio Grande, by con.
quest did lot give US title until Mexico
by treaty transferred the conquered
region to the United States. In that
connection it is to be remembered that
the vast dominion subject to Spain was
constantly being assailed and encroach-
ed upon by English, French and Dutch.
England may not improbabl have
sound claim TO a part of the extensive
tract which British subjects have eeiz-
ed and occupied within limits formerly
regarded as those OF Venezuela; but the
claim would have to be supported by
stronger evidence than that SO far given
to the world from London and DemarR-
ra. At the same time it is the duty OF
Venezuela to wait with patience and
dignity for an equitable settlement OF
the controversy, and not forfeit Amer
lean sympathy and support by hasty or
aggressive action. Apart from the
question of technical right it should not
be ignored that British energy and en-
terprise made the the disputed territory
desirable, and that but for Bristish de-
velopnent of the gold-producing mines
there would have been no Venezuela
controversy, and the region at issue
would have remained a wilderness.
This gives England some right to con-
eiderate treatment. The man who uD-
earths q pot Of gold on another mans
wood lot msy have no title to the gold,
but he should not be kicked for finding

AFTER ali they have done to catch
popuiist votes il will surprise nobody il
the populists end by pulling Bryan eff
their ticket and giving Tom Watson an
other running mate. The feeling be-
tween the democrats and popullsts Is
very far from cordial at this time and it
is growing worse instead OF better. Sen
ator Jones' interview, blsckguardipg the

Alabama election, have both added ma

ARISE NATURALIZATION

To Judge Cole, OF the Supreme Court
OF the District Of Columbia, must oe &C.
corded credit for the performance OF q
patriotic duty in refusing to grant nat
urslization papers to two young ltsi-
1sns, whose friends entertained no doubt
of their eligibility for citizenship. fhe
applicants had come to thie country be-
fore reaching their majority, '.rd hso
complied with the requirements aS 10
term of residence, etc. The sole gronnd
on which their application was denied
was their acknowledgment that they did
not comprehend the constitution of the
U nited States. Indeed, the chances are
greatly in favor Of their having never
attempted to read 1t.
The naturalization laws specify that
an alien, when seeking admission to citi-
zenehip, must declare on oath, before
the court, 'that he will lsupport the Con-
stitution of the United States" Judge
Cole very properly and logically holds
that q nj 30 cannot swesr TO support that
which be does not understand. and in
recording the decision in this case he
hse struck the keynote OF three-hfths or
the ignorance and degeneracy observable
in our suffrage and thrust into demoral-
1zing prominence annually at the pole.
As a matter OF fact, the patursl:za-
4ion laws are technically violated in
thousands of cases every year by judges
who are content, for political reasons, or
through natural complacency, to Rd-
minister the oath of allegiance to men
who cannot distinguish between the
f ederal Constitution and the law OF
Rrsvitation, and others whose intellig-
epce or training renders them incapable
Of comprehending the fundamental law
of the nation even after they have read
and reresd it.
We have no patience with Jurists who
fail to appreciate the responsibility that
rests upon them IN the matter OF nat
uralization. We are all familiar with
the abuses of this system in the past. Halt
the corruption in politics, and one-half
the misfortunes under which the coun-
try periodically labors, are due to the
rank ignorance which is utilized at the
polls by unecrupulous men; and the
opportunity to use this ignorance is
furnished by those judges who clothe
q nth tho rouor IN eecure the suffrage
in violation of the spirit OF the federal
statutes.
Our system is all right, bu: = use
of il lie all wrong. When We have more
judges ready and willing to constIue
the eligibility OF aliens as Judge Cole
has construed it, our institutions will
be safer and the standard Of political
activity higher.

One Of the Suspected Nogalss Bank
Robbers at Tonbstens.
From the Prospeotor We CLEAN the
following information relative to the
capture OF the one of the suspected
bank robbers:
Last evening Bob Forrest q we'll
known cowboy was brought over from
Bisbee by q deputy sheriff and placed
in the county jail on charge of being
ono of the suspected Noeales bank rob-
bers.
The arrest was mentioned in the Pros
pector Bisbee correspondence yesterday.
He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
johnson and Sheriff Leatherwood Of
Pims county. Forrest when confront
ed expressed surprise and went willing
ly with the officers, claiming be could
prove an alibi at the time of the rob-
berry. He was sent over pending further
Developments and examinstion.
A Prospector reporter called to ip-
tesview the prisoner but under the
oircu instances 1t was deemed unwiss to
allow any statement published whats
ever for the possibility of interfering
with the work and plans of the authori.
ties unt.i an opportuns time.
Il has developed that more than
likely the robbers of the Sepsr postofice
and grocery store at Separ. New Mexico
and those who attempted the holdup at
Nogsles are one and the same gang.
The band are known TO the officers being
some six or eight cowboys who until
were riding the ranges IN the

two instances quit good jobs and dis
appeared together. Whether or not
Forrest is guilty 10 unknown, but as he

time it is believed he known something
Of the affair. After the robbery at
Sepsr, the party are knows to have

tion is they went On to Nogales to hold
up the bank.
The poess trailed the robbers from
Nogsles to Lochiel, and thence to the
