An IMPRESSIVE Demonstration.

We adhere to the opinion expressed
on this page twenty-four hours ago
that the surrender of Spain in the mat
ter of General Lees recall indicates
the passing Of the crisis. That was a
matter in which Spain could have stood
her ground with some show of at least
technical warrant. OF course the inti-
nation that we should recall Lee was
merely a subterfuge to gain delay and
to tickle the Spanish galleries. At the
same time, our refusal to act on the
suggestion would have enabled Spain
to dismiss Lee with an air of injured
innocence and to represent to the pow
ers that we and not she had been
guilty of technical offence. For in the
letter of the law, or. rather, in the
light Of international usage, we should
have stood unsupported by precedent,
although amply sustained by justice,
common sense and the intelligent opin-
ion of the world.
But at the parting of the ways
Spain's courage oozed and she had not
the nerve to follow up her own initia-
tive. Since that back-down Spain has
grown cheap and the United States i'm
perial in the eyes of Europe. For the
one there must hereafter be contempt;
for the other, new feeling of respect
not unmixed with awe. The quiet but
determined lining up behind their
elected chief of 100000 900 earnest people,
leaders of the world in enterprise,
wealth and stamina, not under the spur
of ambition nor by the greed of con-
quest or aggression, but in response to
"a sensed rather than a spoken call to
the defence of their nations honor, has
been a demonstration to Europe of the
quality OF the American character
which has to many come with the force
of a revelation.
Time will prove its worth.

PERTINENT PARODY.

A Dawson City mining man lay dying on
the ice.
lie didn't have a woman nurse-he didn't
have the price,
But a comrade knelt beside him, as the
sun sank in rcpose,
To listen to his dying words and watch
him while he froze.
TIE dying man propped up his head above
four rods of STOW,
And said, II never saw it thaw at ninety
eight below.
Send this little pin-head nugget that I
swiped from Jason Dills
To my home, you know, at Deadwood, at
Deadwood in the Hills,
"rell my friends and tell my en- mics, if
you ever reach the east,
That this Dawson City region is no place
for man or beast;
That the land 5 too elevated and the wind
too awful cold
And the Hills of South Dakota yield as
good a grade of gold;
Tell my sweetheart not TO worry with a
sorrow too intense,
For would not thus have panned out had
! had a lick of sense.
Oh! the air is growing thicker, and those
breezes give me chills,
Gee, I wish l was in Deadwood, in Dead
wood in the Hills.
"Tell the fellows in the home land to re-
main and have cinch,
That the price of patent pork chops here
is eighty cents an inch,
That l speak as one who's been here
scratching round to find the gold,
And at ten per cent. of discount / could
not buy up a cold.
Now. so-long," he family whispered, "I
have told you what to do"
And he closed his weary eyelids and froze
solid p. d. q.
His friends procured an organ box and
C. o. d.'d. the bills,
And sent the miner home that night to
Deadwood in the Hills.

even the strongest probability Of war does
not always assure war. The wanton wants
peace and prosperity. IL wants no unnec-
essary loss of precious lives, nor even Of
treasure: but IL national honor requires
the sacrifice It will accept the loss Of
both, and, assured of its strength and
courage, 1t will bear itself with AS much
dignity and calmness in the face of war
as it has done in that of peace. It Is
good time for the people TO observe and

The attempt of the New York state
politicians to gas the press by the
Ellsworth bin authorizing worn out po-
litlcal hacks to harrass publishers with
unconstitutional litigation is probably
suggested by the present muzzled con-
dltion of the Spanish press, which peeps
only when the censor gives permission.

Here's a Sane View
OF The Situation
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

. m 4 PRESENT there is good deal of
IAN dry stubble lying between the
IU\ United States and Spain, and there
I1\ are also upon all sides of 1t a
great many eXCitable people clam
orously hurryirg to and fro flourshing
firebrands. The danger is that a fire.
brand may get into the stubble in which
event there will be war between the two
countries. War, however or whenever it
may come is not a thing to be desired,
much less invited, AS a nation we are
rich, and can consequently bear with
cheerful front a loss of considerable treas
ure, but no nation, not even this one
can bear without regret and sorrow the
less of the multitudinous lives which war
would infict.
1t may be that national honor will re-
quire war. Should war come in defence
of the honor of The country there is
enough courage, patriotism and wealth
among the American people to leave no
room for doubts or fears regarding their
successful ending of IT, 1t should be re-
membered however, that the national
honor, so far as the country's relations
with Spain are involved, is i'm the keeping
of the government, of the president and
congress Both have been tried in re-
spect to the serious troubles between tie
United States and Spain, and both have
given no cause for doubt of their ability
or their purpose to satisfactorily safe
guard and maintain in peace or war the
dignity, valor and greatness of the re-
public.
During the last twelvemonth President
Mckinley has been confronted with such
difficulties and embarrassment as have
beset no chief magistrate since Abraham
Lincoln filled that high Office. His most
preJudiced political opponents cannot
truthfully say, are most unlikely to say,
that his conduct in respect TO the Anleri-
can-Spanish Question has not been one OF
dignity, CourG ge, wisdom and patriot
ism. lie has borne himself amid the
perpleXites of his position as a genuine
representative of whatever is most dd-
mirable in American craftsmanship. lie
has exhibited magnificent self-pose,
strength, sagaCitY, public spirit. lie has
| inteligently observed all phases of his
difficult position, and while waving aside
| the temptations to strife, and while shut
ting his ears to the clamoIous demands
of the unthinking for war, he has dill
gently and providently prepared the coun-
! try for war; He has strengthened the
army and navy; he has demonstrated to
| friends and enemies that while the coun-
| try desires honorable peace IL will not ac-
| cept dishOnOrable peace. He has wisely
! put the nations house In order. The do
| ing of that is neither war nor a threat Of
war 1t is simply wise, patriotic meas
ure of precaution.

An exchange tells a story of a
Judge who could not control his
temper and so could not control
other people. One day there was
unusual disorder in the court
room, and at last the Judge could
endure 1t no longer.
''It is impossible to allow this
persistent contempt of court.to 90
on" he exclaimed, "and | shall
be forced to go to the extreme
length of taking the one step that
will stop ito
There was long silence: then

ton take effect?'

Shocking Mistake.

Another bloody tragedy has
grown out OF the recent murder
of Mr.. Tom G.. Falls, Of Pleasant
Ridge, by the Negro Ryan. 1t
occurred at Gnlrncy last Saturday
night
Accompanied uy Mr.. w. l..
Shclor, of Gastonia, Chief of
Police Ryan, of that place, went
over to Gailney last Saturday in
search of Ryan, who was supposed
to be in the neighborhood.
The two men arrived at Gatfrcy
on the southbound vcstibulc, and
us they got off the train, Mr..
Shelor went back to the end of
the last car, where he saw Negro
in the act of climbing upon the
platform.
To Mr.. Shclor the Negro SEEM
cd to answer the description of
Ryan, and Mr.. ShcIor ordered the
Negro to get down and surrender.
Instead of surrendering, the Negro
started to run away. Mr.. Shelor
ordered him to halt and fired
shot in the ground. The Negro
kept going. Next Mr.. Shelor
fired at him, the ball entering his
bowels through the hip and oring-
ing him down.
1t developed Immediately after
ward that the wounded Negro
was not the man wanted, and MIR
Shelor surrendered himself to the
sheriff to await developments. At
last accounts the Negro was in u
critical condition, and it was con-
sldered likely that he would die.
