An Unae.erved Attention.

General Coxey is restless, and his re-
marks imply that the Capitol lawn is
threatened with another invasion. Wash
ngton does not need to show any refer
ences TO establish her reputation for hos
pitaltty. Its entertainment of the stranger
Is matter OF common history. The Dis
trict Of Columbia welcomes callers with
open arms. but Mr.. Coxey should bear in
mind that his pilgrimage has a certain
retributive purpose which renders it dis
tnctiy unsociable. Washington is in no.
wlse responsible for the evils Of which
Mr.. Coxey complains. This is not a COM
mercial city like Baltimore or Philadel-
phia or New York. The men who are
charged with grinding down the working
classes do not reside here. The people
here did not vote to send to Congress any
Of the statesmen who passed undesirable
laws. nor did they help put into Office the
men who have administered them. Wash
ington is the one large city in the country
which In all reason Mr.. Coxey should see
mt to omit from his itinerary.

An Opportunity Missed.

There may be no more than a mere CO.
Incidence in the fact that CaDtain-General
Weyler arrived in Havana a day after Spe-
cia1 Commissioner Calhoun left that city
for this country. Still. 1t cannot be re-
garded as most remarkable coincidence
under the circumstances. President Nc
Kinley, after much deliberation, sent to
Cuba a special representative for the ex-
press purpose of ascertaining the exact
state Of affairs. in order to formulate q
policy with the greater accuracy and
equity. Shortly before the widely adver-
tised arrival of this official the captain
general Of Cuba, in whom rests all power
there and from whom, presumably, the
most valuable Information as to the state
OF the island could be obtained, departed
on an errand Of 'pacificatioR.'' A con-
venient attack of fever delayed him aid
he now returns to Havana too late to meet
the commissioner. and to assure him that
Cuba was never so peaceful. and that eter-
nal amfty with the United States has for
ever peen his daily prayer. But doubtless
Mr.. Calhoun can make his report to the
President without having resorted to this
well-sprinG of information. Still, it was a
fine opportunity for him to observe the
manner OF man who now represents the
queen regent in her most valued colony.

A Glimpse of spain's Army.

The latest letter frcm Mr.. Pepper, The
Stars special correspondent in Cuba, gives
description of the present state of the
Spanish soldier in the Cuban campaign.
incidentally the famous trocha is visited
and detailed ir the account. This letter
does not bear upon the International prob
lem presented by the insurrection. but
shows that Spafn's army Is in a deploranle
state OF maintenance. and that the rainy
season. now set in. is having it's usual ef-
feet upon the unacclimated peasants of the
continent. The glimpse that is given of a
''pacified' province is of value as showing
that the peace that is officially proclaimed
Is OF a most tenuous nature. Mr. Pepper's
capacity as discriminating observer Is
made plain in this communication.

No "White Wings" Wanted.

Col. Waring. while advising the District

II the cleaning OF the streets Is done by
hand Colonel Waring will not offer any
sartoral suggestions. Important as the
functions Of these workmen may be there
is no need OF fostering a spirit Of class
distinction and clothing them with a daz-
cling uniform that will make its wearers
the most conspicuous features of the scene

The Militia Encamument.

1t is unfortunate that Gen. Ordway. COM
nanding the District National Guard, is
compelled to resort to the threat of dis
bandment in order to induce the militiamen
to attend the annual encampment to begin
next week. His position in the case is
ertirely commendable. He points out that
Congress has with difficulty been persuaded
TO appropriate sufficient sum for the
maintenance Of the annual camp. and that
It Is due to the organization that at least
% per cent Of the men turn out. Any small
er number could not be considered a fair
return for the expenditure. The annual
camp is part of the training and drill
OF the citizen-soldier, giving him an ex-
per1ence that should contribute greatly to
his efficiency when called upon in emer-
gencies. 1t should be considered. there
fore as an opportunity rather than an irk-
some duty. The most unfortunate feature
OF the situation Is that the fault lies NOT so
much with the men themselves as with
fEeir employers, who are not as willing to
grant the guardsmen in their hire the
necessary leave Of absence as they should

sure the direct return for the personal sac
rif1ce of individual merchants and other
employers may not come within months or
years 1t is to be hoped that the occasion
for service by the guard will never arise
but this hope cannot safely be made to

sSTAe Laws Delay"

This Durrant murder case In California
may be studied for some OF the features OF
our criminal law which not fnfreQuently
contribute to q miscarriage OF Justice, ana
are strong incentives in some communities
to lynching That the man Is guilty OF the
crime charged: that he murdered that un-
fortunate girl and hid the body IN that
church loft. has been clearly established
before a jury. and their finding Endorsed by
a court of competent Jurisdiction. The
governor Of the state has had the case be-
fore him on an appeal for pardon. He Is q
lawyer and he examined 1t carefully. But
he declined to interfere with the execution
of a just sentence. Several years had gone
by. and at last, when everyS}ocal device
had been exhausted by Durfant's attor-
neys to defeat the carrying out Of the SEN
tence. they decided upon this last resort.
and will bring the case to the Supreme
Court. This works a respite. and Durrant
will get at least six months more time.
Unfortunately. the records Of our proce-
dure In criminal cases are full of this sort
of thing. And It extends to cases Of the
highest relation. The case OF Guiteau is
directly in point There was never for a
moment the slightest doubt about that
wretch's guilt. He was taken red-handed
And. in addition, In his poor way, he con-
fessed his crime and explained all that had
led up to it. His victim was the President
of the United States. and every considera-
tion, both of example and justice, called
for swift punishment Of the horrible
deed. But the procedure was slow. Months
elapsed before an Indictment was found
and a somewhat theatrical trial begun. and
1t was almost q year before the wretch.
whose guilt had stood as well established
the day after General Garfield's death as
it then stood. was brought on the seafrold
for execution.
1t is urged. Of course. that where life Is
at stake an accused man should have
every chance to present his case. No issue
is fairly to be taken with that contention.
But where full and fair trial has been
had, and competent lawyers have repre-
sented the accused and brought out every
point In his favor, and a verdict of guilty
is then pronounced. the sentence Of the
court should be promptly executed. These
specious pleas and delays, founded fire.
preme Court has already decided. serve
only ends that mock the proper admins
tration of justice. and account 70 some ex-
tent for the disposition. too frequently in
dulged in, TO try cases in the court Of Judge

fold: He would not play the part OF
butcher. and he plainly saw that success
could not be achieved by the uaan whs
would. He returned hame. and General
Weyler took charge.
In General Weyler Spain's bloodiest in
structiors found q willing executant. Not
too many lives could be ordered OF him.
nor too wide q belt of destruction marked
out. He went about the business like a
man who delighted in 1t. General Cnnpos
had had only complaints and rcbukes from
Madrid. General Weyler now received only
compliments and encouragement. A1s
drafts for more men and more money We're
duly accepted. and. II with some dicicnfty,
stiH with much pleasure met. Everything
he did was fndorsed at home, and for q
time he believed and the authorities at
Madrid believed that he would carry the
day. PIT everybody Is now undecedved on
that paint. Fire and the sword, 1t u dis
covered, cannot put down tho rebellion in
Cuba, and u right-about-face IL contern
plated. What General Campos recon-
mended ID now under serious and raspec:-
full consideration at Madrid.
But the Campos plan cannet win. The
truth II that 1t could not have won orig
inally. General Campos was entirely stn-
cere In recommending 1t. and had he been
left in command in the island would have
tried honestly and earnestly to car-y It
out. But the Insurgents would not have
yielded to him. Not that they did not re-
spect him. for they did. But they knew
that they would be dealing with General
Campes only for the briefest period: that
behind him was the same old Spain OF their
hatred and terror, and that as soon as
they laid down their arms to the humane
and high-minded soldier, some tyrant Of a
civilian. after the old order. would be set
over them. And that Ii what they know
today. Recalling General Weyler. with his
hands smeared with Cuban blood. and
sending back General Campos. with an
olive branch. in hts hand. will deceive no
insurgent in arms In the island, nor any
friend of the cause anywhere.
That old biblical episode cannot be re-
peated at this day in Cuba. The smooth
NAH cannot be substituted for the hairy
man. The voice will be the voice of Cam
pos, but the hands-the rough ard cruel
hands-wili be the hands Of Weyler. And
Cuba, unlike the blind and dying Isaac.
will see through the whole trick.
