The Destination of silver Heels,

The mysterious schooner Silver Heels,
about which so much has appeared in the
public print recently, may not after all
have gone to Cuba with filibustering ex-
petition. A report is in circulation in New
York that she went to Porto Rico, and
that there is a movement to start an in
surrection in that island.
1t looks as if SPANS troubles were COM
ing in a bunch. An instruction in Porto
Rico at this time would be extremely trou-
blesome to Spain, because she hasn't any
troops which she can well spare. All the
troops she has are needed at home, in the
Philippine Islands and in Cuba.
The Porto Ricans in New York are act
ing very mysteriously. The belief is that
they are engaged in a scheme of some sort
to free Porto Rico from Spanish rule. The
leaders among them declare that the peo-
pie of that island will never accept au-
tonomy from Spain. They want independ-
ence. The concessions which Spain offers
will not, in their opinion. improve their
condition very much They want to cut
loose from Spain altogether, and they
think the present is a very favorable time
to do so. The Cuban revolution, they
think, will be successful, and that there
fore now is the time for them to strike in
order to be in position to achieve their
independence the same time that Cuba
does.
There are only about 5000 Spanish troops
in the island. There are, however, 1000
Spanish volunteers. The Porto Ricans do
not think the volunteers would give them
much trouble.
A revolution in Porto Rico might give
Spain stin further cause for complaining
of the United States, because it is pretty
certain that cargoes of guns and ammuni-
ton would be sent to the island from our
ports. 1t is not improbable that Silver
Heels carried the men who are to let loose
the dogs of war in Porto Rico.

The Chicago Times-Herald says the po-
lice of Morgan park, in that city have
been ordered to shoot violators of the laws
requiring bicycle riders to carry lamps and
bells, if the violators attempt to escape
arrest by scorching away from them. In
that event, the police have been instruct
ed to commit murder. Failure to carry
lamp or bell is not a felony, even in
Chicago The law distinctly says it is
misdemeanor, There can be no justfica-
ton of killing a person charged with
misdemeanor for attempting to escape the
clutches of the law. Failure to carry
bell on a bicycle cannot be worse than
breaking a show window, and not even
in Chicago are people who break show
windows shot in the back as they run
away.

The resignation OF Mr.. Justice Field
from the supreme bench brings to mind
that he Is a member Of one Of the most
remarkable of American families. There
is an old adage which says there must be
one black sheep in each family. The house
hold Of David Dudley Field. sr., seems to
have been an exception to the rule assert
ed by the old saying. The elder Field.
himself man of mark, an eminent min
lister of the COngregationalist church, was
blessed with seven sons. and not one of
those sons failed to achieve distinction,
and three of them won fame
The eldest son, David Dudley Field,
adopted the law as profession. and revis-
ed and reformed the codes of criminal
practice and civil procedure in New York
state. Twenty-seyen states and terrific
ries have adopted his great legal work as
guide and authority. He was also a
congressman, for one term. Stephen ].
Field, associate justice of the supreme
court, studied law in the office of his
brother, David Dudley, and achieved the
second highest legal honor in
the United States. The third
son, Cyrus w. Field, was the
man who laid the Atlantic cable and put
two continents into instant communica-
ton. These three men made the name of
Field famous. OF the remaining four sons,
Henry NJ Field followed his fathers foot
steps, became clergyman and one of the
most learned, eloquent and honored wear
ers of the cloth. For number of years
he was editor of the Evangelist, a religious
publication of wide circulation and great
influence. He was a traveller and author
as well as a preacher and editor Mat
thew w. Field chose engineering as a pro-
fession, and wrought success in his line of
endeavor. Jonathan Field lived useful
life in New England. took some part in
politics and was at one time president of
the Massachusetts state senate Timothy
Field was an officer In the federal navy.
The record of the family Is one probably
not equaled in the history of the country.
The life of MI. Justice Field was more
romantic than that of either of his broth
ers 1t may be said that he was one of
the California "forty-niners," though he
did not go to the new El Dorado for the
tice law, and was among the first of the
legal profession on the new ground. He
organized the judiciary of the section, and
became the "alcalde" or mayor of a min
ing town. Before the courts were in
working order, and while 1t was neces-
sary to dispense rugged justice TO bad men,
Mr. Field was a member of the vigilance
committee. When he became chief justice
of the supreme court of California he sue
ceeded a man, named Terry, who
afterwards tried to assassinate him
and was himself killed by the
detMive detailed to guard Judge
Field. The western career of the great
jurlst is more like a tale that is told than
the actual experience of a man now living
and enjoying a green old age.

The Hudson River Disaster.
From the New York Tribune Rep).

Catastrophes like that of yesterday mock
civilization. They show the weakness of
mans strongest works, and the perils that

accident killing a score or more of per-
sons in some barbarous land would scarce
" give cause for comment and such dis
aster at sea would. merely remind us of
the impossibiity of curbing the fury of
the great deep. But this one occurred on
solid land, in the heart of one of the most
highly civilized states on the globe. 1t
occurred, too, on what is self-styled
Americas greatest railroad, and is in
disputably one of the best constructed and
equipped In the world. 1t is a road with

here, in spite of all is a disaster almost
a destructive as any that could happen
to a wildcat train on a primitive pioneer
road. There could be no more impressive
demonstration of the frailty of all human
devices.

Dcbs' Colony in Tennessee.
From the Nashville American Dem).

If the Debs colony in Tennessee is to
be made a vantage ground for a socialist
propaganda, it may serve to inject some
spirited contention into the politics of the
state, but it is a stronger probability that,
if this colony be ever established, its abid-
ing qualities will not be equal to the task
of making it a political force. Tennessee
is not ripe for the leveling process, and
will not readily take to the radical inno-
vations that the socialists propose. There
is in fact, no more conservative people
to be found in the country than those Of
Tennessee, and If brought face to face
with an element that proposes the de-
struction of individual property rights,
that conservatism would be likely to as
sert Itself in a manifest degree.

Commissioner Of immigration Powderly
will quit issuing certificates of Remittance
to men, who sail from this country on
cattle ships. He says many of the certifi-
Gates are sold in Europe to anarchists,
who desire TO come to this country. Mr.
Powderly seems Of late to have developed
a very great fear of anarchists. Several
years ago he was little more liberal in
his views, and there was in various quar-
ters pretty strong suspicion that he was
something of a socialist himself.

The tobacco fair at Lake City, Fla,
which begins to-day and continues through
tomorrow, is an event in that state. Fine
tobacco is gradually becoming one of the
important crops of Florida, and a very
profitable crop it promises to be. We have
no doubt that as good tobacco can be
grown in Florida as in Cuba. Experts say
that Florida sends some tobacco to mar
ket which cannot be distinguished from
Cuban tobacco.

We venture to say that nothing would
suit the syndicate better than for the
government to bid over it and take the
road Inside of five years it would have
the road back again for very much less
money. Let there be no foolery or false
moves in this matter The government is
making a better bargain than usually
falls to second mortgages. 1t is receiving
back it's money originally advanced with
per cent. interest, and, better than all,
it is getting out of an alliance that has
been productive of more obloquy than
honor.
