There are men among the silveritc
majority in the senate who are lost to
every other consideration than that of
16 to |. These are hopeless cases, who
must be endured with popular resigna-
ton and patience until such time as
an all-wise Providence shall vouchsafe
to terminate the Christening intliction
by summary elimination. But we are
loath to believe that the number of
these is sufficient at this period of ma
tional stress and urgency to consum-
mate wholesale delivery of aid and en-
couragoment to the enemy.

Eli Shaw, the New Jersey young man
who is charged with the murder Of his
mother and grandmother, is again on
trial, and the portrait of the girl who
"clings' to him appears in the circuc-
poster illustrations of the city papers.
The evidence in this case is very dam
aging according to reports of the last
trial; but the more damaging the evil
dence the more firm the young woman
will be in the belief that he is innocent.
This is the way of the world, and the
sensational newspapers assist material
ly in the business by lending the en-
couragement of notoriety to these dime
novel heroines in real life.

CASTELAR, is SORRY FOR US.
lie WIII Make a Speech That We Have
RetTOgraded to Barbarism.

Madrid, April 26.-There is much inn
patience here over the news that is
being received, especially regarding the
movements Of the fleets Captain Gem
eral Blanco's published dispatches
briefly report that the American fleet
is i'm sight Of Havana and the seizure
of blockade runners.
The Republicans have presented an
address to Senor CASTELAR,, ostensibly
congratulating him upon his recovery
from his indispostion, but i'm reality
offering to support him if he will come
boldly forward and restore the repub-
lie. The address bears 10000 sigma
lures.
Senor Castelar, has not replied to the
address. There is reason to believe that
he will re-enter parliament, where he
has not been seen for twenty years,
although he has been constantly elect
ed member. IL is virtually certain,
however, that he will not oppose the
government or monarchy.

NOT LIKELY TO SEIZE HAWAII.
Might Raise Doubts as to Good Faith
Regarding cuba.

Washington, April ALPHABETICALLY no
information is Obtainable in Washing
ton about the reported intention of the
United States to take possession of the
Hawaiian islands. Administration Of
ficials in a position to know will not
talk, or profess ignorance of any such
plans. Members of Congress interest
ed in anneXing Hawaii have Deen un-
able to find out anything about the
purpose of the government.
There is a general impression that
the administration has not decided to
take a step so vigorous. 1t is known,
however that a proposition to raise
the stars and stripes over the islands
has been under consideration. The
principal objection urged is that such
requirement of the Hawaiian group
would make European nations suspic-
ious OF the intentions of this govern
ment in regard to Cuba, and might
cause international complications.

SPANS SUBMARINE VESSEL.
She viii Guide u Warship Through
Mined Waters.

London, April 2G.-Accordng to the
Daily Mail, Spain has acquired the
lease of a vessel called a submarine
worker which was invented by Count
PozZo and constructed in France. A
description of the vessel appeared in
1897 in the French engineering journals.
She was originally intended for salv-
age operations on submerged wrecks.
The vessel is a steel sphere, with an
external diameter of 0 feet 8 inches.
She is propelled by electricity, and has
a speed of eight or nine knots an hour.
She carries a supply of compressed air
that will last three men for forty-eight
hours. From the front of the vessel
protrudes a strong cutting and Crap
pling arm, which is capable Of severing
anchor cables and connections of sub
marine mines. She can lay mines and
discharge them electrically after retir-
ing to a safe distance. She can be con-
nected with the deck Of vessel and SC
guide a warship safely through mined
waters.
Mr.. Ackerman, the London agent of
the owners, say that the boat is on
board a Spanish vessel that is now five
days out for the United States.

Concerning the News.

During war time rumors innumer-
able are rife and with the government
necessarily keeping it's own counsel it
is not always possible for the most
careful newspapers to guard against
printing false or exaggerated infOrma-
ton.
on its bulletin boards and i'm it's news
columns The Tribune publishes only
the most authentic news that it can
get. Its authority for these bulletins
and news dispatches is the Associated
Press, the largest, most conservative
and most carefully conducted news
gathering organization in existence.
Sometimes even the Associated Press
is fooled, as when it published Sunday
afternoon that MORO castles guns had
been trained on the American block
aiding fleet. and then denied this on
Sunday night. But this was a natural,
practically an inevitable, mistake, made
in good faith, and due to the difficulty
of verifying early reports of occur
rences at such distance from a tele-
graph key. The Associated Press never
Intentionally falsifies and is more often
| correct than any other news agency in
the world. When it finds that it has
been misled it promptly sets the truth
Alright.
We understand that at some bulletin
boards and in some newspaper offices
we trust not in Scranton. advantage is
| being taken of the public interest in
war news to perpetrate sensational
| hoaXes. The man who in a time like
this would deliberately lie to the pub
lie deserves to be taken to the nearest

The fact that the Indians out west
are showing a disposition to get gay

Hasten the Day =!

1t is something to be a British sub
ject and to therefore have the courage
to say so, as did Captain Mlburn the
other day when told by his Spanish
captors that he would be shot in an
hour as a spy: "Why don't you shoot
me now? Go ahead and do it, and in
q few days Havana and all Cuba will
be blown up. England doesn't wait
two months when one of her ships is
blown up in a port of another cOun-
try" There is a good deal which is
fine in this daring speech, and which
thrills the reader with emotion, but it
contains more than mere braVadO and
fine faith in the Union Jack; it has in
it the significant threat of a power
that overaWed the malignance of
Spanish officers on this occasion and
is potent to protect its citizens in every
land. Hasten the day when an Ameri-
can citizen may recognize a similar
safety wherever his flag may wave.

SENATOR PITTUs

From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
 The speech delivered by Senator Pettus of Alabama in the senate of the United States congress on Friday last was the opening gun of the progressive element that is favoring the annexation of Hawaii. A democrat of democrats Senator Pettus took the side which places him in opposition to the majority of his party, claiming that the annexation of Hawaii is not party question, which is true, and that men are patriots first and party men afterward. In other words the senators exordium meant that common sense should not be saer1- feed in the interest of party spirit. While there was little in Senator Pettus speech that has not been said or written before on the annexation question: it was enlivened by tilt with Senator Caffery of Louisiana, whose zeal in the service of the Louisiana sugar planters led him into grossly insult ing the venerable senator from Alabama, who very properly and very sharply resent ed the insult. As the agent of special ln- terest Senator Caffery is interesting; oth- erwise he could conceal his crassitudes without loss and with considerable gain in reputation The senators from Alabama, not being specialists, can afford to LOOK at great questions from the standpoint or statesmanshfp, and in this great struggle they will take the lead. The state of Ala bama has been undergoing developmental processes for some years along lines Of di- versified interests. She has coal, iron, beauxite and other minerals, and her peo- pie are discovering that raising 6-cent cot ton that is mortgaged for supplies as soon as planted is not-the quickest way to grow rich. The Alabama senators are looking forward. They realize that if the south grows and expands and achieves the de- gree of prosperity that is within her reach. she must find markets beyond her own bor- ders, and to secure markets she must have outposts and way stations, such as Hawaii, Porto Rico and elsewhere. It is unfortu- nate that in the south, and representing constituencies that are trying to win a livelihood by raising 6-cent cotton, there are senators who cling to old ways and old ideas, looking backward and never for ward, pursuing the trade of politics instead of the noble profession of statesn1anship. But in spite of these recalcitrants who stu pidly oppose progress, their constituents will be benefited. Such men as the state of Alabama has in congress are represent ative of the intelligence of the country, and the intelligence of the country ultimately wins. It may be delayed, but not defeated in its aspirations.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.


 Anniston, July At a meeting of Comp Pelham, United Confederate Veterans, some interesting resolutions which were adopted by the Louisiana division, United Confederate Veterans, were presented and turned down.

Gordon with the recommendation that the example of the Louisiana division be followed Camp Pelham instructed Ad- jutant }scGGiiee to return the circular with the following indorsement: Respectfully returned, with the suggestion that this Is something with which Camp Pelham has nothing to do and is not part or parcel of the aims and purposes for which the United Confederate eVterans was organ ized."
