A DEAD SOLDIER.

The body OF another young soldier
was entombed returned "a
the pathetic dust. Kind women. for
ever kneeling where there Is sorrow
placed flowers, the best emblems of a
transitory life upon his casket. That
magnificent Ritual met the body Of
this humble soldier ~ the door of the
Cathedral, with the same ceremony
that it receives the bodies OF kings
and the great, and bids them join the
democracy of the dead.
His widowed mother and sisters are
today, sending their thought across the
seas to him, from the banks OF the
Mohawk river, while the forest leaves
are crimson in autumn glory. He
cares not, for he sleeps now in a tran
quill valley, where our own precious
dead sleep also.
In the dirge of the regiments band.
we recall Walt Whitman's words:
20 strong dead march, you please me.
The bugles and the drum give you
music,
And my heart, o my soldier, gives you
love"
Spain buries this soldier here. She.
in her ignorance, touched and walked
those slumbering forces of the heart
that moved millions-moved the heart
of this poor boy. SO let Spain who
has buried him here. speak through
her own poet, Zarilla Y. Moral, when
he wept many years ago, for the dead
soldiers of Spain, buried in her own
deep sepulchres.
Look! how they beseech us to their
own sweet rest,
You smiling flowers, you forests old
and brave,
You growing harvests sleeping on
earth's breast,
You banners green that DER our val
leys' wave"

MRS. BOTkIN'S CASE.

Mrs. Botkin living in San Francisco,
is charged with sending poisoned
candy by mail to family living in
Dover, Delaware. One Of the women
folks ate of 1t and died. Mrs Botkip' 5
motive is said to be the desire TO OBJ
tain the husband of the poison vic
tim. The Governor of Delaware asks
the Governor of California TO .surren-
der Mrs. Botkin to the Delaware auth
critics so that she may be taken TO
that State and be tried for the crime
of murder. This demand Is made on
the ground that the Federal Constitu-
ton requires that the Governor Of one
State shall surrender to the Governor
OF another State, upon proper demand,
any fugitive from Justice" Now
Mrs. Botkin claims that she is not a
fugitive from justice, A fugitive is
one who fees from a place. She says
she has not fled. She has lived in
California, and not in Delaware. So
she has not fled from either place.
The Governor of California is of the
opinion that he cannot surrender her
because she is not fugitive. The case
will be tested in the courts,
1t seems that the trainers of the
CONSTITUTION never contemplated the
case Of murder through the mails
Such crime was not known, we be.

IT Is UNDERSTOOD.

Even on the Mainland there are
many people who appreciate the feel
ings OF the Hawaiian born when the old
flag went down, and the new one went
up. One writes:
II can well understand that a vein
OF sadness and pathos mingled in the
emotions OF all Hawaiian born spec
tators OF the change Of flags. There Ia
inevitably always something depres-
sing In last timss-eyen IL the new one
may promise better things-always
something OF good that goes with the
old, something not all good that comes
with the new, something OF sympathy
and sentiment that refuses to balance
good and i'll over the open grave OF tn,

During the sessions OF the Pan-Amerl.
can convention In Washington, over
which Mr. Blaine presided no admir-
ably, many OF the representatives in
private talk stated that the opinion
generally prevailed in South America
that the United States would finally
become aggressive In that region, and
repeat their cruel robbery of Mexico
Mr.. Blaine, OF course. assured them
that the American people had become
highly moral creatures, and wished 10
do right and set an example of an en-
lightened policy to all nations, espe-
cially to the South American. One OF
the delegates suggested that nothing
would show high and enlightened

cede their moral inferiority TO the
United States. But they regard the
policy of war for the sake of humanity
as a kind OF solemn moral fake in
vented by the cute Yankees in order
to conquer weaker nations. IL IL
doubtful that there is any consider
able number OF the most intelligent
people of that continent who have any
faith in the honest intentions of the
American people or their Government.
Under these circumstances there is
nothing to do but give the people OF
the South American States an occa-
sion for looking upon the great battle
ships. And If the privilege OF coaling
is refused. the golfers will supply the
needs.
Another and very important expert
ment will be tried, that of sending
great warships on long voyages with
arrangements for coaling them at sea.
Should a simple and effective way be
discovered of doing 1t, another long
step will he made in naval warfare,
and the need of coaling stations be
less imperative.
