\ Remedy for .WObblers'' Needed.

This nuisance is the presence In the streets.
At all hours. but especially at night. of
scores of riders who have not yet learned

for these novices who persist in using the
streets as their practice ground is ''wob-
biers." They are in some cases more dan
serous TO life and limb than the fast rid

apprShended. Ii is a misdemeanor in fact

4 Warming to Pistol Carriers.

Judge Rradley's work the other day in sem
fencing man TO eight years Imprisonment
for an assault with intent to kill deserves
the highest praise from all good citizens.
IL viii surely have deterrent effect upon
the reckless men who infest Washington
in common with all other large cities, who
hold human life lightly, and who are al
ways armed. Whether these men are en-
gagged in lawful or criminal pursuits they
are dangerous and should take warnng
from Judge Bradiey's stern words in pass
ing sentence upon the man who shot a
peaceful merchant while plundering him.
In this the assailant claimed in de-
Tense that he merely used the pistol to
brighten his victim. and that it's explosion
was an accident. The court very properly
waved this plea aside as not only INSULT
Cicnt, but even as an aggravation of the
crime. and the public generally will share
his regrets that the law did not permit a
heavier sentence. New York is not so
fortunate in possessing d judge with such
just views of the treatment of those who
persist in carrying deadly weapons. The
man who recently made dangerous as
sault upon ex-senator Mcpherson in that
city was released by Recorder Con- when
arraigned. upon peculiar and. it would
seem. an Unsafe principle. The recorder
held that inasmuch as the assailant did
not actually draw his weapon though he
made an effort to do SO and was pre-
vented, he was rot guilty of an assault
with intent TO kill and he merely held him
on the far less serious charge of carrying
concealed weapons. Thus for no fault OF
the victim. but rather because of his good
fortune. the would-be killer is practically
freed from the consequences of his dan
geroIs act. and bad example is set for
the reckless and criminal members of So
ciety- The two decisions contrast strongly.

When Mr.. Bryan was in this CITY two

The Worm Has Turned in Cuba,

Reports are now being received from Gu
ba of alleged atrocities committed by the
insurgents. The other day dispatch an
Eounced that d large number of Spanish
soldiers had been captured and Immediate
ly hanged by their enemies. A later cable
gram details how a stage coach was held
up by insurgents, who killed all the occu-
pants save woman and child, a slaugh-
ter Of about thirty persons. These dis
patches undoubtedly passed through the
nands or the press censor at Havana who
IS known for his rigorous work in coloring
reports as TO the progress OF the war and
Its incidents in manner highly favorable
to thu Neylerian cause. Thus it is to be
presumed that the real facts are far more
creditable to the insurgents than the news
accounts as published Indicate 1t is
worth while to hear these matters in mind
for it has been announced that the in
surgents have recently decided to adopt a
policy of retaliation upon the Spaniards for
the atrocities committed by the latter, some
under the guise of military necessities and
others without the least excuse or explana-
ton. 1t is evident that the Cuban worm
has turned at last, and no wonder The in
surgents have been thoroughly trained in
the arts of cruelty and assassination They
have had example after example of broken
faith. violated promises. murdered inno-
cents. raided hospitals, outraged non-com-
batants. ruined homes and so on through
the whole catalogue of crime They have
borne all this with wonderful patience and
many instances have been noted of their
magnanimty In dealing with captured enc
mics Their treatment of women and chill
diem has been marked with consideration
and Sentleness, as Witnessed by the dis
patch about the stage coach, even after it
has passed the censor. 1t is of course
most deplorable that the insurgents should
resort to ever SO slight an approximation
of the Weylerian methods. They are afro
cious In the extreme and to initiate them
even feebly will but add to the horrors of
a war already dreadful beyond comparison
But it Is to be remembered that the prime
responsibility lies at the doors of Spain.

Pence for Cuba.

The cables printed to-day from Havana
and Madrid are of interest in connection
with the fact that General Woodford IS
now receiving instructions as to his mis-
sion. and expects shortly TO sal for his
post of duty. There has been some specu-
lation in both Havana and Madrid as 10
the probable nature of those instructions,
and Spanish sentiment at both capitals has
been Influenced by the report that the new
minister's first advance will be toward
putting an end to hcStilities in Cuba
What Is printed to-day. therefore. as COM
Ing frem General Weyler and Senior Cano-
vas may in a sense be accepted as their
reply 10 what it is believed General Wood
ford will have to say on the subject of
peace for Cuba.
General Weyler's reply, delivered in the
form of a proclamation at Santiago de Gu
la Sunday afternoon. may, in a perfectly
fair rendering, be stated thus: Peace?
Why. certainly. l am for peace. l have
Ieen. from the first day of taking command
here. Peace is my only object But of
course / must be permitted to prescribe it.
I know the sort of peace best suited TO
these people. and / am prepared to admins

Cead. There is nothing of the tyTant about
me-. They may have it either by proclama-
ton, or else at the hands of forty bat
.aliOns of troops. But peace must be
brought about if il requires the extermina-
lion OF the whole Cuban population ard the
aging of the whole island waste" Thus,
Weyier
Senior Canovas treats the subject in much
The same way. He also is for peace. And.
as earnest of how much he desires peace
ard how far he is willing to go to obtain
peace. he takes the public into his conf
ience about his future plans. Making al
Spanish troops during the rainy season in
the island now in progress. Senior Canovas
declares that Spain, if necessary. will put
twenty thousand fresh troops into the field
there in the fall to help along the cause of
peace. He is evidently in full agreement
with General Weyler, and wants peace es-
tahlshed at any price of Cuban blood or
Cuban treasure.
The administration would do well to take
note of these things. General talk, through
General Woodford. about peace for Cuba
will. if INDUCED in. undoubtedly elicit re-
plies ike these Spain at present has no
conception of peace for Cuba except upon
from d reimposition of her bloody yoke, is
something she will have to be trained,
gently or otherwise, to consider.

The Hattie In Ohio.

The Ohio campaign is taking shape
which promises an exceedingly lively time
there in the fall. Some faint mention is
made OF local issues, but only very faint
| mention. The campaign is essentially ma
tloral In Its nature, and the result will
have a national bearing. On the one side
ere sound money and the national admin
istration, and on the other the Chicago
platform and Mr. Bryan as the demo-
cratic candidate for President again in
1900.
The republicans are in the field with two
candidates. who ought to command the full
party vote in the state. Each is well quail
fled for the place he seeks. for each is
row satisfactorily filing that place. Gov
Bushnell is serving we'll as governor, and
is asking for d second term while Mr.
Hanna. who has taken good rank in the
Senate as an appo:ntee, is asking a reg
ular election to the office. But above and
beyond the personalities of these two men
and their candidates. is to be considered
the national administration itself, fer
which, in certain sense, both will stand
in the fight. Republican defeat in Ohio
this year would Inevitably fall heavily On
the President and his policies.
The democracy will make the fight under
the leduerSnlp OF Mr.. JODn H. Mclean, who
is on the ground. with his hopes high and
his machine in good working order. Mr..
Mclean is a man of experience and of re-
sources, and whatever diligence and abund-
ant means shrewdly employed can accom-
plish ought to be accomplished by him
But he has very hard row to hoe-much
harder. indeed. there is reason to believe
than he calculated for when he left this
town. His own means are large, but the
other democratic leaders of large means in
the state are opposed to his senatorial aspi-
rations, ard are threatening, while support
ing their party's candidate for governor, to
oppose free silver candidates for the legis-
lature. If, therefore, there should not be
clear majority of silver men in the legisla-
ture, Mr.. McLean's election to the Senate
would be impossible.
This anti-McLean contingent is led by Mr.
Brice, Tom l.. Johnson, ex-Gov. Bookwaiter
Virgil p. Kline. Mr.. Thomas of Springfield
and other rich men. They are all for sound
money. Ex-Congressman Sorg, who is
quoted friend of silver Is yet put down
in the anti-McLean column on the score of
personal aspirations. 1t is believed that he
wants to come to the Senate himself &c.
first and last, with as formidable a fighter
money democrats hanging On his TANKS and
harassing him also in the rear Mr.. Mclean
will have need of all the generalship and
sinews of war he possesses or can COM
mand.
