James Meadors is on his way to the
military prison at Fort Leavenworth
to serve term of ten years. For a
man who should be in the condemned
cell at San Quentin awaiting his turn
on the gallows Meadors certainly has
no reason to repine. He is the private
of the Eighth California who deliber-
ately and with the utmost malice muir
dered tent mate, the bloody crime not
having been his first of the kind. These
facts were known in advance of the
civil trial and fully brought out on that
august occasion, and yet the prisoner
was acquitted on plea of self-defense
unsustained by a single fact Military
justice seems to be of a dI.lerent va
riety. 1t could not hang Meadors, but
| it did the best in its power by finding
| him guilty Of conduct prejudicial to
discipline. The striking part of the
verdict is that it is a direct arraign-
ment of the jury and of the laxness
which makes murder a safe occupation.
| 1t seems to me there is much non-
sense, a large part of it irreverent
talked about the part God has had in
the conquering of Spain. If the Supreme
Power is to be held as looking after the
petty details of life as we know them
then must it be held responsible for
the evil as well as for the good. If God
desired the Philippines to pass from the
possession of Spain, being of limitless
power, he could have brought it about
without bloodshed and without prelim-
mary centuries of oppression. AS q

In a long article from William b.

the expressions of the gentleman have

courteous and doubtless sincere. Never

to basing my belief largely on OBJ

pendence upon Fowler or any of
his school. Mr.. Curtis should bear
in mind that the remarks of last

Taking Singing Lessons,

In certain little Office on Front

from all others on that busy thorough
fore, is heard daily the notes of a

RIVER THIEVES
Traced to This City But Are Not
Located AS Yet.

Samuel Westwood, ex-chief Of police
of Martins Ferry, and Mr.. T. E. Clark,
of near that city, arrived in the city
Wednesday noon in search of a gang
of river thieves, who have been rob-
bing stores and houses all along the
Ohio river from Pittsburg to Marietta.
Mr.. Clark keeps general store
about two miles above Martins Ferry,
and on Sunday night, Sept 18th,
thieves entered the building and car
ried away a large portion of his stock.
Mr.. Clark Immediately employed Mr..
Westwood, of Martins Ferry, man
who has had large experience in
chasing and capturing robbers, and a
careful search was made for clue.
They learned of three men named
JOHN Gear, John Davis and VIM. Nc
Knight, who were living in o house
boat, and they Immediately gave chase
They succeeded in following them
along the river and found that they
had stopped at several points where
robberies had been committed, but
when they got to within a few miles
of Marietta all trace of them was lost.
The men are living in shanty-boat
named Edna. 1t is painted drab col
or and is said by those who have seen
it to be we'll stocked with goods.
All of these men are well known to
the authorities at Martins Ferry, and
Officer Westwood has on three occas-
ions sent Mcknight to the penitentiary
on like offense.
1t is thought that these are the men
who have been committing the rob-
berries which have taken place along
the river in the recent past and care
ful search is being made for them.

Why Americans Are DisIiked on the
Continent,

We manifest character abroad that
has the same foibles and frivoilties as
any other; and without the same ex-
cuse, for we talk very loudly of our
"Americanism," and would have other
nations know that we are not bred as
they were. Now, whatever we may
Understand by this "Americanism
and 1t is coming to have some very
various meanings under the influence
of new ideas stirring among us-the
people of Europe understand by it but
one thing only. To be typical Amer
lean may mean to them sometimes to
be shrewd and pushing Yankee pro-
moter-yes, perhaps; but it also
means to be humane and large
minded specimen Of man or woman
responsive to the deeper chords of life
and equalitarian without vulgarity
1t is useless for us to insist that we re-
fuse to be measured by theories; that
national character is shaped by prac-
t.cal events and daily problems, and
not by abstract ideals; that it is alb.
surd to want to keep us logically to
tne intentions of our founders, when
We have elements to deal with that

The Black and White Pony Tries tc
Run But Is Mastered,

The black and white pony, owned
by Mr.. j. A. Mccormick, which has on
several occasions run away and each
time some one has met with a narrow
escape, again took it into its head to
run away yesterday with Mr.. Pearl
Davis.
Mr. Davis had the pony hitched to a
buggy and with Eph Johnson, started
up the pike. When about two miles
above the town, the pony took sud-
den turn to the side and the occupants
were thrown to the ground. Mr.. Da-
Wis, however, who was driving, held to
the lines and managed to get back in
to the buggy. He whirled the pony
around and started him down through
a big field at full speed and around up
to the road, where he gave him all the
run he wanted and he was glad to slow
up.
The pony was conquered for once,
but whether it will last or not is not
known, as he is bad one and cannot
be depended upon.
