ANOTHER SCARECROW.

1t is evident that somebody in
authority thinks that Lieut.. Hob
son is getting too much glory out
of his efforts to save those wrecked
Spanish vessels. Hobson is now
in Washington, being catechised
by board of naval officers, who
are inclined to stop his work, on
the ground that it will cost too
much money. If Hobson is not
allowed to proceed with his plans
for saving these vessels, the peo-
pie will know very we'll that
money had nothing to do with it,
but that jealousy of Hobson and
his reputation is at the bottom OF
the whole bus ness.-Albany Dem
Ocrat.
What nonsense. The administra-
tion is as ANXIOUS Hobson should
raise the sunken Spanish vessels
as Hobson and his friends can pos
sibly be. and takes deeper inter-
est in Hobson and his career than
any neswpaper scribbler though he
may write his article under the
shadow of the capitol at Washing
ton. If in the opinion of the
authorities at Washington it will
be money in Uncle Sans pocket
10 have these vessels raised, it will
be done regardless of any senti-
ment, or whether Hobson or an
other performs the feat. 1t is pure
ly business proposition aside from
politics. The men who write such
stuff and the papers who publish
It, are alike cuIpablc before the
BAR of public opinion.

In the death of Henry Failing
Portland and the state OF Oregon
has sustained an irreparable loss.
His life from the aye of twelve
has been one continual and har-
monious psalm pitched On a pure
and rhythmic key. His sterling
qualities, his unaffected and unos-
tentatious bearing, his constant
and spotless life of toll, his
reproachless character, and his
elevating examples has done
much to ennoble those of his as
sociates. "Hls life was gentle, and
the elements so mixed in him that
nature might stand up and say to
all the world THIS WAS A MAN"

FRANCE TRIES TO EXPLAIN

Paris. May pa high Official who is
in daily contact with NJ. Hanotaux. min
lister OF foreign affairs. and who reflects
NJ. Hanataux's opinion. says in the course
Of an interview:
There is certainly a feeling Of sympa-
thy toward Spain in the higher circles Of
society. especially the aristocracy. but +,
is not general. although some cranks
with an eye to notorety have started
public subscriptions for the Spamards. To
the above may be added a large section
OF the bourgeoisie who have invested
1000, 0O0, 600 francs in Spanish securities.
with reference TO the Franco-American
relations false news from many quarters
during the last few days has led public
opinion astray; but a few words suffice
to expose the inanity Of these accusa-
tons against France. The Lafayette in
cident was quite comprehensive under
pressure OF the work being done by the
United States. As for Martinique what
happened to the dispatch OF Captain Col
ton Of the Harvard was no fault Of ours;
and one torpedo boat is there for few
hours only, while the Harvard is there
for a week.
