l. really seems that the outrages pcrpetra-
ted in Cuba call for some remonstranee,
If not physical interference. Citizens Of
our country are now languishing in prison
while murders Of non -combatants have
been almost innumerable. In the struggle
of our country with Great Britain, patri'
otto Frepchmen did not hesitate to come
t. our aid without consulting the govern
ments Of other countries, and at times II
seems it would be well that syInpathtzerb
with Cuba should do the same. Had the
French In l776 been equally as cautious as
our people are now expected to be, we
should to-day be domineered over by Great
Brlluin, aud our boosted freedom would
be Il mere myth. We should protest
against the wrongs perpetrated in Cuba,
and II war should follow our protest, We
could only do as our fathers did, stand by
che right and appeal to the God Of battles
for our V!ulicutiun.

DIGGING A HOLE The CRIME
Judge Kimball Decides the Famous
Pole Case.
No Penalty for StringIng Wires, But
the LiEemen Guilty of Tearing
Up the Sidewalk.

The electric light case was continued in
the police court yesterday afternoon after
the Evening Times report closed. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Reddlngton's argument
Judge Wilson began, and talked unit nearly
4 O'Clock, when Mr. Duvan made the clos
ing address for the government.
Judge Wilson touched principally upon
the grounds covered by Mr.. Reddingi on.
concerning the property interest of the
electric light company, in tkc old pole, and
Mr.. DuYalfs argument, like Mr. Thomas,
contradicted this, ana said that the old
pole was shown by testimony TO have he
longed exclusively to the Western Union
Telegraph Company and that the electric
light company had no right whatever to
erect new pole alongside OF it. SO far
as the stringing of wires overhead was
concerned, the prosecution touched upon
them very lightly.
In summing up the case Judge KimbalI
remarked that as to the first charge OF
occupying public space with overhead wires,
preferred by strineing overhead wires, be
saw nothing ON which he could hold the
defendants, and he accordingly dismissed
that charge.
on the second charge, however, pre-
ferred against Bashford and Scanlon, the
two linemen, charging them with tciring
up tie sidewalk in the erection Of the new
pole, he thought it presented different as
poets. The erection was Unauthorized and
un warranted. Recognizing the fact that
/ the pole was unsafe and needed repIa cing e
yet he did not think the right to DO so
without permit deyolved UPON the com.
pany.
Knowing and understanding the ex-
| igsncieS, however. lie would not make the
defendants pay fine, but would take
| Their T-rSOnaf DDnlg Hn thought the com
| pany could get permit from the Com
| missoners TO lay conduits
They'll get ID If they ask for it, said
! Mr.. Thomas.
We cannot get anything from the Com
missioners with respect TO this company
without n corkscrew." said Mr.. Wilson.
| Yes, and it has TO be a legal cork
scraw. added Mfr ReCidiHgton.
| The two defendants will be taken into
| court today and the stntence of the court
! imposed AT that time Jsdge Wilson will
| give notice ofia motion for new trial

LARGER JUSTICES SALARIES.
Report of the judiciary on the Court
of AnneaIs MensurS

Report of the judiciary on the Court
of Appeals Measure.
Senator Hoar, from the Committee on the
Judiciary, has submitted an interesting
report on the bill 90 fix the salaries of
the chief justice and judges of che court
of claims.
The report shows thae it is now forty
one years since the Thirty Congress
esta blshed the court OF claims and fixed
the salary OF the judges at $4,000. The
pay or the members of that Congress ($S.a
day. could not have exceeded $500 a
year as their average annual compensa-
ton, yet they did not hesitate to- attach
to this court a salary which was nearly
three times their own, and but $500 less
than that of the Supreme Court. and which
was then sufficient to command the ex-
perience, integrity, and ability peculiarly
needed III the judges OF such a court.

that the story told in New York yester-

Mr.. Hall says he has no reason to believe
that the bullet fired was intended for
him. on the contrary he believes the shoot
ing was accidental. The consul house is
