nations against the cons rvatives who
have gone over to sIlvela, and severely
censured Marshal Martina Campos for
his behavior since Canoyas' death. He
eulogized General wkyler and praised
Canoyas' memory for having kept him
in office in Cuba through thick and thin.
kIs said that II the liberals fan in their
program II is all UP with Spain. He de-
clared that the spaniards recognized
General weyler's successes and con-
demned the autonomist regime. He said
the liberal government has dreams every
night as to whsre General weyIer Il
going to disembark. but that the govern
ment does not know what General wey-
Yer thinks, because it is going to ask
him. He concluded his speech by saying
that he approved Of General wsyIer's
views and that he was resolved to come
TO an understanding with him.

The ArhItrntion Trentr.

II is easy to understand why a the open
ing Of the English parliament on Tuesday
Lord Salisbury. the English prime min
ister spoke so earnestly in support Of the
arbitration treaty which has been nego-
tiated between this country and Great
Britain, and why the newspapers of Ger
many, France and Austria are daily COM
mending the treaty. The immense ar
mics and navies which European countries
are compelled to maintain are proving to
be heavier burdens than the people of those
countries care to carry. Indeed, they are
heavier than they can carry with comfort.
And under the present condition of things
they see no prospect that these burdens
will be lightened on the contrary. the
outlook is that they will be increased, be-
cause war is looked upon as something
likely to occur at any time, and each ma
ton is afraid it will not be as well prepared
for it as its neighbor.
In this country the sentiment is in favor
Of the treaty. That is evident from the
expressions of opinions in regard to 1t
which have appeared in the public prints
and pulpit utterances. StiI, Senator Haw-
ley of Connecticut, at the dinner of the
Ohio Society on .ast Saturday night, ex-
pressed the sentiments of the people when
he declared that while he intended to vote
for the treaty. because it was a good thing
and a civilized thing to do, he had no hes
itation in saying that If there be any
wrong, any serious insult put upon our ma
ton and our flag, the American people will
fight be there treaty or be there no treaty."
But If Great Britain should deliberately
do us a wrong or offer us an insult she
would put herself in the position of vioiat-
ing the treaty, at least the spirit of It, and
we would be released from all obligation
to observe it. 1t is well understood that
we would not tamely submit to insult or
injury. There is no reason to fear that if
the treaty should be ratified we would not
take care of our own interests in a way
that would be entirely in keeping with our
dignity as a nation,
One great advantage of the treaty would
war every time we had a dispute with
Great Britain in respect to some one of
the various questions which naturally
grow out of the relations of the two coun-
tries-questions like those relating to the
Alaska and Venezuelan boundary disputes
and the seal fisheries dispute. OF course,
when an insult is offered or a deliberate
wrong is done it means an apology and
reparation or war

Mr.. J. Dan Woodall of GAINESVILLE, Ga.
in a letter in the Constitution. comment
ing upon an article in the Augusta Chron-
icle criticising Jurors for refusing to find
verdicts of guilty in murder cases when
the evidence seems to justify such YER
diets, says: Il am sure the Augusta
Chronicle is wrong in laying the charge
at the feet of the jurors. My observation
impresses me that the average jury is
not only prompt, but rigid, wherever hu-
man life has been taken. They are slow
TO discriminate in favor of any degree of
provocation. unless the case is strong
enough to make it a case of self-defense."
1t seems to US that there is foundation
for the Chronicles criticism of jurors. 1t
is a pretty difficult matter to get verdict
of guilty against white man
charged with murder. This may
not be true in some parts
Of the state. but It is in others. IN
less we are greatly mistaken it would not
be a difficult matter to point out cases
where the evidence, in the opinion Of able
lawyers. warranted a verdict of guilty,
in which a verdict of that kind was not
obtained.
Mr.. Woodall, mentions several cases in
which, within the last few years, verdicts
for murder We're obtained against white
persons, but he omits to say that the
crimes of the defendants in those cases
were of such a character as to arouse in
dignation throughout the state If a ju-
ror had refused a verdict of guilty in any
one of those cases he would have been
assailed by storm of indignation. If
Mr.. Woodall is anxious to sustain the
position he has taken let him take the
murder cases in any one of the cities of
the state, in which white men were de-
PENDANTS, and show how many convictions
were obtained. He may even limit the
cases to those in which the court will adj
nit that evidence was strongly in favor
of the state.
We have no fault to find with the aver
age juror. He means to do his duty but
somehow or other in murder trials there
are jurors who cannot see their way clear
to finding verdicts of guilty, however
strong the evidence against the accused
may be.
