TRAIN ROBBERY FIGURES.

Figures recently given out show
there were d hundred and eighty-th three
train robberies in the United States in
the last seven years. which resulted in
the death of seventy-three persons and
the wounding of fifty-eight more. SO
far as size goes this is a very good
record, but otherwise there is nothing
TO be proud of.
But the train robberies have become
less in the last year or two and occa-
sionally the robbers themselves have
Train robbing for long time was a
comparatively safe. easy and profitable
business, and this induced many TO so
into it. Eventually things changed
and il was found to be quite hazardous.
Crews and passengers. got in the habit
OF looking out for the robbers and were
not so often caught mapping. Then
laws against the crime were made
more and more severe and public SEN
timent was with the laws. which meant
that the train robber who was caught,
and where the evidence was against
him. was going to be found guilty as
charged, with 10 recommendation to
mercy. All this has had a salutary
effect
There can be no worse criminals than
the train rohber and train wrecker To
them the wholesale slaughter of their
fellow-men is a matter of complete in
difference and they do not hesitate to
resort to it whenever their wicked ends
viii be subserved thereby. The train
rcbber and wrecker deserve death.

Reds School For BOYS.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: The speaker
sat on a forward seat OF the omen car
going uD the avenue TO the capitol His
head was bent toward the wide open
sheet of the morning paper. 4 green
necl1tie OF aggravating hue climbed 20 the
top of the collar and seemed to call for
adjustment. Members of the house sat
beside the speaker and watched the pro-
gress OF that pecktie. One of them,
little holder and fresher than the rest.

not raising his eyes from the paper; Il
always wear Il that way
Like q snubbed schoolboy. the member
shifted uneasily in his seat. while like
other schoolboys. the listening congress-
fnen Uttered at the time-honOred joke.
There is much in the proceedings Of the
house TO remind of schoolmaster and
school. Several distinguished Mssourians
SAT in the gallery and witnessed the semi
weekly skit of assembling and adjourn
ing. When the house had been let OUT
they agreed that they had seen 4 very
striking parallel of boyhood experiences.
When 4 little later they sat in the cloak
room and heard bold talk of defying
"Ol6 Reed" and getting something
the house, they recalled the plot
tings in the wood shed to upset the school
house discipline. The boy is the father
of the man. Cloak room backbone and
wood shed nerve are much alike.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

The other day a prominent citizen,
one who has enjoyed the confidence Of
/ the people in various official capacities.
made the remark that the press and
public speakers of either party should
pay more attention to preaching the
doctrine of good citizenship in its
broad sense. and somewhat less to the
preaching of the doctrines of political
parties. His criticism of the constant
advocacy Of party politics was that it
tended to take the narrower view of
the very principles advocated and to
place partisanship above patriotism
There is much in what ne said to
commend itself to all who are genu-
inely interested in the common well
fare. That welfare should be the in
terest of all irrespective of party. but
too often party interests are placed
above all others. and to further them
public interests are sometimes sacri-
feed. This could never happen if mem
bers of political parties would ever bear
in mind the fact that parties are or
ganized to carry out certain ends by
means of certain methods. But par
tsans, in their enthusiasms and pas
sion, are very liable to look upon their
organization as everything. Whenever
a party's strife is for success without
regard to any principles, it should cease
to receive popular support
While all this is so. yet parties are
the very best means thus far devised
to carry on our system of government
and 10 put in practice the different
theories of the same government. In
the practical working of this govern
ment they are essential as checks as
much as the checks and balances pro-
vided in the constitution itself This
being so. it should be recognized by all
parties that a true patriotism will teach /
that the interests of the whole people
are substantially identical and indie /
pendent. 1t cannot be TO the interest
Of capital to have labor downtrodden /
nor can it be to the interest of labor .
to have capital threatened and inse-
cure. The prosperity of the one is the f.
prosperity of the other. and the mis- /
fortunes of the one eventually become
those of the other. And to teach this.
and the duty of mutual forbearance
and respect on the part of all classes.
was what this gentleman termed
preaching good citizenship.
This is net always done, in fact is
too seldom done. and in their stead
mems passions and prejudices are
aroused and Industrial divisions become
one against the other What
ever tends to array one class of the
against another does not
tend to good citizenship but the very
reverse. As a people we may be di-
vided as 10 policies and which are best
adapted to further the public good.
but still the aim of all parties is the
fuTtherance of that same public good.
One part of the people is not striving
to destroy the country nor is the other.
One great essential of good citizenship
IS to give those who may differ with
you as to politics the same credit for
that you claim for yourself.
To do this does not mean to assume
there are no rogues\ even among those
who pretend to so much patriotism.
Good citizenship must be the founda-
ion of good government, and should
De cultivated by all.

SPANISH WAR FEELING.

/ Once again the news comes from
+ Spain that the fever in favor of war
with the United States is breaking out,
this time as the result of Senior Silva
/ recent bellicose speech and the constant
news of Spanish defeats in Cuba. This
latter is about the funniest reason in
the world why the Spanish should
want war with this country To think
that defeats in Cuba would be turned
into victories if there were a war with
the United States shows a peculiar
frame of mind; in the present case one
almost Of desperation. And that is
really the extremity TO which Spain is
reduced.
For two years and half she has
been putting forth every effort in her
power 10 subdue the rebellion and
every effort has proved futile So long
as the Cubans can hold out it makes
it all the more difficult for Spain to do
anything. She has in the island an al
most gigantic army, but it is compar-
atively useless. If there were war with
the United States it is quite probable
that this army would get a chance at
some fighting in the open, and no
doubt it would much prefer this to the
methods of war adopted by the Gu
bans; but they are fighting for indie
pendence and in their own way. and
thus far it appears to have been the
most effectual way and to have accom-
plished the best results.
There is not the remotest probability
that Spain will go to war with this
country. The Spanish ministry will no
more be swayed by the clamors of the
Spanish press than was Mr.. Cleveland
by the demands of the American press,
or than Major Mckinley, apparently.
will be-
The Spanish people are struggling
under vast burdens and probably any
change would be welcome by way &C
diversion, if not relief, but for Spain
to declare war with this country would
be for her to stake all on the cast of
die. and with few chances in her favor.
She will not do it.

The Baltimore Sun comments on the
recent crisis, if such it may be called, at
Key West:
The attempt to lynch negro at Key
West, Fla, has been followed by an
angry demonstration on the part of the
race TO which the accused belongs-a
demonstration Of such proportions that
tie governor of the state called upon
President Mckinley for federal troops
10 prevent a threatened riot Thus it
is seen that lawlessness follows lawless-
ness. and that the violation of the law
involved in lyncAing may lead TO more
serious consequences. The president OF
the United States is without authority
10 order federal troops to interfere in
state affairs except upon the applica-
ton OF the governor OF the state, and on
his assurance that state troops have
proved unequal to the emergency. OF
course, the governor OF Florida has nor
exhausted the power of the state, and
his request for federal assistance was
based upon the fact that state troops
might not reach Key West in time TO
prevent a clash between the races IF
United States troops are sent, the fact

ENGLISH GUNNERY PRACTICE.

The London Times in a recent issue
contained a long account Of the results
of the gunnery practice in the English
navy in 1896 These results were not
such as to fiatter English pride or to
give great confidence in the mighty
ironclads with their tremendous ord
nance. Some of these results are sum
married. by the New York Times as fol-
lows:
The Sans Pareil and the Ben Bow
tried their 16.25-inch guns, the former
firing seven and the latter six rounds
without once hitting the target. With
the 19.5-inch guns Of the Camperdown,
Families, Nile. Arson. Hood and Howe
an average of 80 per cent of hits was
obtained.
The Colossus obtained on hit out of
seventeen rounds with a Pinch gun,
which is a poor result The great
Thunderer scored two hits out of thirty
rounds, the Centurion three out Of
twenty-seven, and the Devastation
four out Of twenty-nine. The 92-inch
and S-inch guns showed far better re-
suits. The Imperieuse scored twenty
two hits out of twenty-seven rounds.

The 6-inch guns did good work, too,

weapons failing 10 hit the target The
Porpoise led with d percentage of 67.3,
while the lowest percentage was 80.
THE secondary battery practice was

die a target with a six-pounder. The
Sybilline. for instance, fired thirteen
