IL Goes Beyond Bounds.

TT is plain enough that the business II
dining n winning Admiral Cervera,
with our own Admiral McNair for
the host. is not at all to the taste Of
the American people. 1t is all well
enough to be courteous inc ~hospltable
and all that-but there is a line to be
drawn. and those who, in the service of
the United States. spend time and
money to make this defeated Spaniard
the hero Of social festivities are not
dra wing the line at the right place.
What Cervera and the officers under
his command did was to act with con-
spicuous dishonor-they wrecked their
ships. worth millions of money. after
they had solemnly obligated themselves
not to do It; that is the testimony of
competent judges whose word the
American people trust. Besides, too
many wounded and stricken American
soldiers are dying and suffering in sight
OF the scene of Cervera's defeat TO
make the banquet spectacle a pleasant
one for American eyes or the recital of
1t an agreeable story for American
ears.
In view Of his rascally conduct in de-
stroying ships he had already surren-
dered, this business of treating Ger
vera as IL he were a man entitled TO
the respect OF the American people has
gone quite far enough-too, far, in fact.

The Quick and the Dead.

u S a sort Of last act OF his iife'
Bismarck thwarted his emperor.
He arranged several little mat
tiers 20 his own liking, as IL transpires,
and while these arrangements clash
with the plans of Kaiser william. IT
will undoubtedly be the sequel that
what Bismarck ordered will stand.
AS II the members of the Bis
marck family were not to be taken
into account at all, Kaiser Will
tam teiegraphed: II shall prepare
a last abode for his remains in the
cathedral. by the side of my ancestors"
In this instance the emperor proposed
but the old man Of blood and iron dis
posed. He knew where he wanted to
be buried: he chose the spot on the
castle grounds near the famous Bis
marck monument known as the Hirsch-
grippe, or the stag-group.
Probably Bismarck had thought II
all out in this matter OF his place Of
burial. Doubtless ne was aware that
Germany would gladly accord him a
tomb close TO its royal dead, and one
can believe that he would have been
solaced by the reflection hat his last
resting place was TO be nea hat OF
Emperor william the First. But the
grandson emperor is a different propo-
sition; Bismarck was a man who was
prepared TO carry his prejudices to the
grave; naturally it would occur to him
that by and by this grandson will be
gathered 10 the fathers and buried near
them. II wouldn't be snug lying in

cellor.
