Spanish government was guiltless
of completely in the destruction of

ship for sea and is putting them iu
commission as far as the mum Der
of enlisted men permitted by law
will enable it to do 80. 1t may be
only a measure of precaution, but

OFFICES fairly won through an
honest election ought to be held by
the officers securing them until
their terms expire unless they are
in some way unfit for their duties.
The most Objectionable feature of
the Broaston Prison law is that il
throws out of Office prematurely
those who had secured their places
for full term. This objection
would be equally strong if the Of
ficials were Democrats, Populists,
or of any other politics. The pres
ent officials are going to test the
constitutionality of the Law. Fair
play is as wholesome in politics az
in anything else.

IT does look like the barest sort
of patriotic prudence would move
the House to pass without any
dissenting votes the bill to create
two new regiments of artillerists to
man the sea-coast defenses that the
Government has gone to such n
vast expense to provide. The great
nations of the world prey on China
not because it is aggressive or the
least harmful to them but because
it has no adequate military protec-
ton for it's vast territory and pop
ulation. They will do the United
States the same way some time I'M
less this nation prepares properly
against it.
