Are We subjects of spain /.

It seems that we have, indeed, fallen
upon most surprising times The other
day the Spanish consul In Chicago warned
"A number OF railroads diverging from that
city tnat the Spanish government would
hold them responsible if they hauled GER
tain goods claimed to be contra band OF
war, to be transported to Cuba. These
are American railroads upon American
territory, operated by American citizens
and were supposed TO be about TO trans
port American products from one Ameri-
can city to another Yet the Spanish con-
sui. evidently acting upon The authority
of has superiors warned the railroads that
if they moved the goods, the Spanish gov
eminent would hold them personally re-
sponsible.
If this is not the quintessence Of assump-
ton and effrontery we DO not know what
to call it, What right has the Spanish
government to issue orders. OF warnings,
to an American railroad, OF, for that mat
ter. 60 an American tramp on his native
soil? Have the state department and the
other authorities at Washington abdicated
their offices in favor of the administration
at Madrid and it's agents in America?
When one comes TO think of it, however,
it is not surprising that the Spanish Off
cials should conduct themselves as If they
regarded the United States as Spanish ter
ritory. The admins ration at Washing
ton, ever since Cleveland turned the gov
eminent over to his successor, has handed
the Spansh-Cuban gu astion as if it We're
hot potato-with tongs The depart
ment Of state has sent SPANS agents di-
rect to local authorities with their tales
of flibustering expeditions. Under orders
from Washington, local collectors, port
officers and commanders Of United States
vessels have been at the service of Span
ish officials and acted according to their
directions In Florida the other day vice
consul of Spain not only had a revenue
cutter and crew at his service but as he
was about to leave the craft the cutter
gave him a salute as if he were a distin-
guished official The Spaniards have been
permitted to so directly into the business
of enforcing our neutrality laws, probably
under the assumption a Washington that
the state department could shake itself
free from embarrassments by permitting
Spain extraordinary privileges. Taking
advantage of the weakness in Washington,
the Spaniards have now reached the point
of debating to our railroads; and there
is no telling what next they may attempt
to do.
While we have doubts as to the proba-
bility or desirability or independence for
Cuba under existing conditions. we have
no hesitancy in saving that the Chicago
railroads ought to tell the Spanish consuls
and agents fatty TO go to -ceuta; and
then proceed to haul justsuch freights as
| they please, If in conformity with the laws
of the United States.

With the gradual departure from the
stage of life of those who have made the
dramatic stage famous, that field of art
is losing much OF its old time prestige, and
the farce and the spectacular are sup
planting the legitimate and the artistic.
The announcement of the death Of Mrs
John Drew will be received with national
and even International sorrow and regret,
for it has been Mrs Drew and few others
like her who have given tone to the stage
and brought nature to the aid OF art. With
Forrest. Clarke. owens. Jefferson, Flor

the honors. going from tragedy TO come

Now that the Tybee season has closed.
and what is about to be said will do that
resort and the enterprising. gentlemen who
have charge Of the hotels there no harm,
the Morning News would suggest that
hereafter when conventions are TO be held
in this section, arrangements should be
made to hold them in SaVannah-in the
city itsef-and not at Tybee. Tybee, how
ever, should be considered one of the
places of interest to members in attend
ance on such conventions and meetings,
and they should be invited to visit and
enjoy the delightful resort. But Tybee
should be an incidental and not the OBJ
jectrve point.
Several important conventions al which
representative men from all parts of the
state We're present have recently been
held at Tybee AS far as Savannah was
concerned, the visitors had little or no OPP
poHunity of seeing the people of the city.
nor the people of the city of seeing them.
A few Savannahians visited the visitors
at the island, and few of the visitors
spent one or two hours in the city; but
as far as the value of such conventions to
Savannah is concerned they might as we'll
have been held in Beaufort or Brunswick.
OF course everyone in the city desires
to see Tybee prosper, but Savannahaus
are also interested in having parties who
attend conventions in this section see Sa-
vannah and become acquainted with It's
citizens, which they cannot do If they hold
their meetings twenty miles away and
then take the first train for home. Our
trade organizations have the means of
providing the facilities for such gatherings
to be held in the city, and hereafter they
should see to 1t that the conventions are

it altogether to railroad officials and no.

Referring to the proposition made at
the Grand Army encampment to create
a civil war memorial out of the old pris-
on pen at Andersonville, the Springfield
Republican deprecates the movement as
one calculated to keep alive 1.-The hor-
rors the prisoners endured" and to
'perpetuate the most grewsome, the most
sickening phase of the war" From one
point of view, the Republican is correct
in it's position, but since sectional feeling
is rapidly disappearing it might be a
timely object lesson to perpetuate, or at
least to emphasize, some of those "hor-
rors" and some of those ''grewsome, sick
ening phases" for the benefit of the rabid
jingo element who are ever trying to
precipitate the American people into a
conflict with somebody, and they do not
care much who it is. In the words of
Gen. Sherman, WAR is h and some
of the American people seem to need to
be reminded of it.

Afraid of an Explosion.

A well-known United Presbyterian min
ister of this city is telling a story on him
self which is creating laughter among his
friends, says the Pittsburg Chronicle Tele-
graph. He is of large and generous pro-
portions, and his rotundity is only equaled
by his CHEEKY countenance and genial dis
position so he tells the story with good
grace. Some time ago he was asked to
make Sunday trip down to the DiXmount
Insane asylum, and preach sermon to
some of the milder patients of the insti-
tuition He agreed to do so, and some
weeks later he found him fulfilling his con-
tract He was expounding one of his best
discourses, and was trying to make 1t as
impress siVe to his hearers as possible. The
closest attention was being paid, and two
men in the front seat, he noticed, were
especially engaged in observing his every
word and action. The reverend doctor was
working uD to one of the effective cli-
makes for which he is famous. Both his
arms were being used for frequent ges-
lures. his naturally forid face was red
dening from a strong flow of words, and
his whole form seemed to swell with the
force of his argument. The men on the
front seat began to get nervous. Suddenly
one of them arose and tapped his compan-
ion on the shoulder. His eyes seemed start
ing from the sockets, ssld as he made for

The outcome of the little personal diff
ference between Senator McLaurin and
ex-Gov. John Gary Evans of South Caro-
lima is being awaited with much interest.
Mr.. Evans has circulated the impression
that he would not stand under charges
made against him during the recent cam
paign. Senator McLaurin does not seem
disposed to deny or withdraw the charges,
so ii would appear that it is time for the
two gentlemen TO name their seconds and
decide whether they will use the French
or the italian duolling sword. To be sure,
let each contestant use the sword of his
nationality, and then when Count of Tu-
rim McLaurin has jabbed Prince of Or
leans Evans in the short ribs, it will have
been demonstrated that the senator is not
a protectionist, or vice versa, Now what
would Steve Brodie give for the encounter
before the kaleidoscope?

The age of disease is approaching its
end, at least so declares the inventor of
the micromotoscope, Dr. r. L. Watkins
of New York, who asserts that with his
new scope" it will be possible to detect
the presence of any microbes or germs in
the human blood, and thus on the prlnci-
pie that an ounce of prevention is worth
a pounds of cure, the progress of any
blood disease can be arrested. Perhaps
this means that vaccination is about out
of date, and fin-de-siecle school children
win simply have to have their blood mi
cromotoscoped once or twice during the
slckly season, and al will be well. Bring
on the micromotoscope.

The Savannah Cadets wound up the shoot

Ohio Is said TO be developing another
lynching mob whose object is to deal out
the penalty to two negroes now in Jail al
Springfield charged with the usual
crime" All of which goes 10 show, as we
have stated, that lynching is not a sec
tional but a national matter. Lynchng
is the result of the crime, and not of the
section in which the crime is committed.
Rabid republican organs have evidently
learned by this time that they can no
longer point TO the south as the particular
home of the lyncher and the whitecapper.
1t is gratifying to know that the bite of
the mosquito in itself is not poisonous as
physicians now tell us, but the poison
comes from scratching the bite with finger
nails which contain dangerous germs.
Nevertheless, 1t would seem still that the
ultimate responsibility rests upon the mos
quito as well as upon the germs which
insist on hanging around and getting into
the bites. But the finger nail is no doubt
an accessory and might be convicted on
that ground.
