THE SINKING OF TIE MAINE.

The blowing up of the battleship
Maine in the harbor of Havana is a
most distressing affair. Some hundreds
of human lives have been lost and some
millions of money sunk. It is idle to
speculate as TO the cause of the ex-
plosion until an investigation has been
had. The investigation viii determine
whether the explosion was from within
or without. 1t can hardly be presumed
that the blowing up of the Maine was
the result of Spanish Vaccinations,
though no doubt many Spaniards in
Havana rejoiced over it. Even if such
We're the case, it may be set down as
certain that the Vaccinations were not
undertaken with the knowledge or con-
nivance of the Spanish officials. The
establishment of the fact that they
were would almost inevitably result in
war, and Spain does not desire war.
The probabilities are that the explosion
was the result of an accident. and ac-
cidents are the most difficult things
in the world to satisfactorily explain
and account for, for the very reason
that they are accidents.

it did and at the time it did, naturally
gives rise to many eonjectures and
questions, but the affair is so serious
of itself, and in certain contingencies
so grave. that its effect on Che coun-
try has been of a SOLDERING rather than
of an exciting nature; and this is as
it should be. The country will calmly
await the result of the investigation
into the cause of the explosion. For
this purpose Admiral Sicard has al
ready been ordered to Havana.
The case of the Maine VIII draw at
tention anew to the fact that the mod
ern warships, strong and dmpregnable
as they seem, with their massive ord
nance, are, after ALL very vulnerable
things. A chance shot might easily
send one to the bottom of the ocean,
or a small torpedo might do the same
thing. Only the other day one of the
turrets Of the battleship Iowa became
unmanageable, and had she been in
action she would have been placed at
a great disadvantage. Who can say
whether a shot from a 12-inch gun,
striking turret fair and square, would
not make it unmanageable, even if it
did not penetrate it, and disable gun?
The modern battleship is theoretically
perfect, but there has been no practical
test of it, the Japanese-Chinese war
being the nearest
Twenty years ago the British IRON
clad Captain went down with a crew
of five hundred, but what the cause
was was never known; it was an ac-
cident of some kind. In all probability (
it was an accident that sent the Maine
to the bottom in Havana harbor.

THE WAR SPIRIT IN YOUTH.

Jingoism may be defined as the war
spirit become rampant. 1t is a good
thing to see a protest against it coca
sionally from those who have become
eminent in the service of their country.
Ex-Governor Boutwell, of AIassachu-
sets uttered such a protest one day
last week in Boston. That which called
it forth was some remarks upon school
histories. He said that history had a
great influence on the young and grave
evil is often committed through it, And
then he continued:
There is a warlike spirit enough in
our young people to take care of the
country in case occasion should offer.
It does not need TO be fostered. The
fighting quality is in all mankind, and
those who have Saxon blood in them
have fully as much as they can han
ole Therefore. 1 object to histories of
the United States that encourage the
warike spirit. The younger generation
knows nothing Of war.
General Sherman, in his blunt way,
said that war is hell, and those who
have ever been near enough to see an
army of 10000 OF 50.O00-or 100000 men
on each side. such as went into the bat
ne pL Nrtbi g5btES -iidNt seen the iIlDSl
impressive sight on which the human
eye can rest.
Next. do not think it wise to cult
vate a spirit of hostility toward Eng
land. Time ought to eradicate preju-
dice. We ought to regard England as
civilizins force in the world. She
may not have moved, perhaps, in the
way in which we think she ought 10
have moved; but, nevertheless. when
we look over her vast expanse of ter
ritory and the numerous islands of the
sea on which she has set her foot, we
must admit. whatever We may think,
that these lands and the peoples occu-
plying them are all the better for the
which England has acquir-
ed over them.
If England reaches decadence. as
likely she Will. before we attain TO the
fun height of our strength. there wiz
be plenty of these people. regenerated
and improved. TO come TO us if we want
them. But il is not always safe to take
everything that is offered.
There is ample warlilxe spirit in the
American youth and it needs no en-
what it needs, if any
thing, is education; needs to be taught
what are the causes that justify and
make war holy. The revolution and
the civil war had their origin in such
causes. The warlike spirit in youth. at

least American youth, needs repression,
as it does in all youth of Anglo Saxon
blood. Youth loves the exhiiiration and
excitement of struggle. for it arouses
in it all their native conbativeness.
The healthy youth loves contest, physi-
cal contest, whether on the play ground
or on the field of battle, and it requires
but little to arouse it, much less to en-
courage it.
Governor Boutwell, truly says that it
is not wise to cultivate hostility to-
wards England and Yet England is
more often held up for the execration
of American youth than any other
country. She has been a great civiliz-
ing force in the world. perhaps the
greatest. Our most precious political
ideas were inherited from her. All that
she has done in her career as a world
civilizer cannot be approved; neither
can ali that our own country has done
in its march as a pioneer OF civilization
be approved. The ideas and ideals of
the Anglo-Saxon family are largely the
same; why seek to ALLEVIATE and make
hostile to each other the two great
branches of it? There is no advantage
in such course, but many disadvan-

BACHELORS AND BENEDIcIs.

All laugh and make merry when they
read Of the proposition to tax bachelors
in New Jersey, and it is a proposition
that we'll deserves to be laughed out of
court. But how is it that such legisla-
ton is ever proposed? That is the as
tonishing thing. Representative We'll
Ter. who introduced the bill, must rep
resent "a constituency that is more or
less imbued with the idea it is a bad
if not a heinous thing for a man to
be a bachelor. The speaker of the house
evidently represented an entirely differ
ent class of people, for he promptly re-
ferred the bill to the committee on lu-
matte asylums.
But why is it that so many people are
so anxious to regulate the lives and
thoughts of other people? One would
think they had quite enough to do if
they regulated their own lives and af-
fairs well; and so they would. Their
desire to regulate other peoples af-
fairs is founded on intolerance. and in
tolerance of the very worst kind. Those
who are possessed of it are generally of
a narrow and prsjudicsd mind, and they
seem to think that they are heaven
sent TO perform a certain work; the
idea never enters their noodles that
somebody else may be heaven-sent to
perform an exactly opposite work.
What queer ideas these people must
have of personal liberty. In truth.
many peoples idea of liberty is to let
other people do just as they themselves
do. and not otherwise. This is Repre-
sentative Wellers idea. Has his own
domestic life been so blissful or so bale
full that he would make others go
through the same mill? How much
worse a world this would be if all the
people were just alike, especially like
New Jersey legislators.

a very humorous state of affairs eX-
lists in New York-Greater New York
We should say 1t is the contest be-
tween the police department and the
Society for the Prevention of Crime.
A New York paper gives this account
of the contention:
Chief McCullagh called his police
captains before him not long ago. and
warned them that the Society for the
Prevention of Crime and one other as
ISOLATION that does similar work, were
watching the police in the precincts
Dr. Parlzhurst does not wish at this
time to say a word about the activity
of his friends in the society. Besides
other reasons, it is distinctly bad pol
icy to do so at this time. he thinks.
But since the chief of police is telling
his me- about what is going on, there
seems to be no reason why others
should not know little about it. Pub
LEFTY is not to be resorted to so freely.
The society loses financially by this
course for it is the evidences presented
IN frequent exposures and reports that
arouses public sympathy and brings in
contributions. But DR.. ParkhuTst thinks
the society can get along for a while
on short pay, with the active interest
OF the members as a substitute. And
they are learning facts; they know
pretty well what the police are doing,
and ? little OF whar they are not do
ing. But if the police have learned eau
ton the society has learned care, and
the slows going policy of the police is
duplicated by that of their enemies. 1t
is likely that not much more will be
heard from the Society for the Preven-
ton of Crime till it appears with a
case; with evidence so complete that
conviction will be almost certain ard
quite unreversable. The case will be
against some Individual. 1t may be said
that it is typical, but it will be handled
by itself and one man will suffer alone.
The force, as a whole, will be allowed
to go on calmly till the second and
other successive cases are completed,
presented and tried. AS to the depart
ment, the coalition of that will have
to be inferred for a while"
This is the most humorous situation
in the whole police world. The society
is no doubt little over-zealous and
wishes to find the police dereict that
it may be able to say: I'VE told You
so" New York viii have fun, if not
good police administration.
