THE BLACK JACK GANG.

Yesterdays Herald contained a
special dispatch from Ell Paso, Texas,
telling of the determination of the
notorious Black Jack gang of robbers.
Sometime ago members of this gang
murdered Mrs. Agnes Mcdonald at
Round Valley, Mexico, some 40 miles
from Casas Grandes. The murder was
a most foul and brutal one; the object
money. And now Mrs. Mcdonald has
been avenged. Members of the colony
at Round Valley and vicinity formed
a posse and started in pursuit of the
murderers. They, with their pals,
were finally discovered in the noun
tains some 50 miles from Round Val
ley When the gang We're surrounded
they were ordered TO surrender. being
warned that resistance meant death.
A dash for their weapons by the out
laws started the firing and they We're
all killed. Such is the story as it
comes from FL Paso, but later &C
counts may modify it.
If the Black Jack gang have really
been exterminated it is a matter of
congratulation TO the whole country,
and those who exterminated them are
deserving of public gratitude. Several
times the United States government
has sent small expeditions after them,
but they have always eluded their
Tnlrsuers. They We're a terror and
menace to people of certain parts of
New Mexico and to those across the
Mexican border. They We're to the
people living on the border much such
a plague as the Robbers Roost gang
are to the people of Uath and Colorado
May the fate of the Black Jack gang
be that of the Robbers Roost gang
Those who avenged Mrs. McDonalds
death have pointed the way to deal
with the lawless marauders in eastern
Utah

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

The Philadelphia Ledger says that so
far as legal bearing is concerned, there
appears to be no doubt that Senator
Davis is right in citing the annexation
of Texas by joint resolution as a suf-
ficient precedent for similar action with
regard to Hawaii. Legal form, how
ever. is the last thing TO be considered, -
it declares. 1T win be time enough to
decide how the thing shall be done
when we have decided that we wish to
do it at all From this point of view
the case of Texas is not in parallel at
all. Texas was contig Ious territory,
it had no natural barriers separating
it from the United States: a very slight
prophetic glance was sufficient to see
that It would be needed, some day, as
a member of the rapidly growing
Urion- The people of the United States
were eager to possess it, and the peo-
ious TO be annexed to this country.
Under such circumstances the annexa-
ton of Texas was a fit, proper and
natural thing to do. None a these
reasons applies to Hawaii That ter
ritory is not contiguous, it cannot be
made 50. it is rot necessary to the de-
velopment OF this country, and it does
not appear that its annexation is de-
sired by q majority of the people of
either the United States or Hawaii.
There has not been any question that
the islands could he legally annexed
by joint resolution; the question has
been whether it is desirable or advis-
able, ard public sentiment does not
seem to answer it in the affirmative"
Now that the plan to annex Hawaii
by treaty has been abandoned and that
of joint resolution is to be adopted.
public sentiment will have a much bet
ter chance to manifest itself. The
friends Of the treaty made very grave
mistake when they insisted os consid-

The San Francisco Examiner criti-
cises the California parole law severely.
the release of a bank wrecker and
forger named Baird being the occasion
of its criticism At the time the bill
creating the parole system was under
consideration by the legislature it OBJ
TESTED TO it on the ground that it
would probably result in releasing
criminals who have money and in
fiuence rather than those who might
be led to reform their lives. Baird. it
says. is one of the kind of criminals
who are vastly more dangerous TO the
community than the average house
breaker or pickpocket. He deliber-
ately stole the money deposited in the
MADEIRA bank, and all that he could
borrow on fictitious security. His
crimes in taking the money of others
were aggravated by the breach of
trust that tends 10 destroy the COM
mercial system on which our indus
trial society is built says the Ex-
aminer. He was convicted after
much difficulty. and received a wholly
inadequate sentence. Now he is re-
leased, after serving a portion of his
time, and we are informed that he has
returned home to enjoy fortune of
$4,000 that he has inherited If the
parole law is to be used to release this
sort of men from an inadequate pun
ishment, the sooner it is repealed the
better off the state will be. 1t is adj
visable for the state to endeavor to
deter moneyed men from crime. rather
than to encourage them with the
thought that the escape from punish
ment is easy and certain"
The principle of the parole law is
certainly a good one. but if the law
is to be wantonly abused in favor of
moneyed criminals it would better be
repealed. The bank wrecking criminal,
and all those of his class, is too leni-
emily dealt with by courts and others.
The distress and misery they cause are
far greater than the distress and
misery caused By the horse thief and
house breaking class of criminals.

shall continue to until the contrary is
plainly shown. That there are plenty
of people in the country who are per-
fectly willing to take advantage of the
present patriotic fervor, there is no
question. They will try TO push any
and every scheme. and all. of course. in
the name of patriotism. It is to such
patriots as these that Johnson's IA
nous definition applies. Those who are
taking advantage Of the war scare for
their own purposes VIII be sure to do

increase it as much as possible, for the
greater the scare. the greater their
chances for carrying out their nefari-
Gus purposes undetected and unmo-
Tested.
A good result of the war scare will
be the passage of a law authorizing
the president to sell short time, low
interest, emergency bonds. Some peo-
pie have a most strange conception Of
a public good. Is it possible that there
could be such an emergency so long
as the great revenue producing Ding
ley law exists? We are told that that
law is producing sufficient revenue to
meet -'alr' the governments needs.
This being the case, there can be no
possible need of issuing emergency
bonds in any event.
The people should beware lest the
war scare is not used to work them
for various things they would never
consent to at other times.

of the two, and a very popular man at

AsIN1NE CRITICISMS.


Some of the criticisms passed on the
president for his cou.se IN dealing with
Spain at this time, are rather amusing
when calmly exs mined. Thus one pa
per says that 1T is almost impossible
to believe thai President Mckinley is
triflinS with the people in our affair
with Spain, and yet it cannot be denied
that he is so bent upon ignoring public
sentiment and adhering with stubborn
ness to a course of his own devising,
that his conduct in tie premises is sub
jecting him to suspicion" Indeed. it is
quite impossible to believe that the
president is triffng with the people.
1t is here said that he is bent upon
ignoring public sentiment. How can
this be proven? The press of the
country has almost unanimously ap-
proved the presidents course. 1t is
true that some papers have not. but
have they any right to claim that they
represent public sentiment more than
| the papers that approve the presidents
course? None in the world. It is
charged that the president is adhering
with stusobornness TO a course of his
own devising. Who was to devise his
course for him? If he were adhering
with stubbornness to a course devised
for him by some of the lingo papers,
what a great patriot he would be in
their eyes. The president could hardly
run around the country asking every
paper and politician to devise a course
for him; and even if he did, he would
have TO make a choice of some course,
and those whose recommendations had
been rejected would be far more dis
gruntled than his present military crit
les are. The presidents conduct is not
subjecting him to any great suspicion,
at least not enough to worry him or
the country.
The paper from which we have
quoted says that war is certainly in
evitable now If war is Inevitable now,
it is inevitable; and that is all there is
to It. The paper that is authority for
this statement says that 1.-The people
have waited long and patiently, and
congress has been waiting for the word
until it is tired; but the president re-
fuses to move q peg from the most
absurd and untenahle peace policy that
the weakness of man ever invented.
Let the command Load and fire. be
given, or else tell the people frankly
that the power behind the administra
ton prefers dlshonorable and degrad-
ing peace to honorable war, because it
is better for their money-catching
schemes. Let the people know why
Sagasta is allowed to make a Punch
and Judy show of the United States
before the world"
If the author of that doesn't have an
internal explosion he will be fortunate.
So far as we are aware, this is the |
first time it has been publicly an
nounced that Sagasta was making a
Punch and Judy show of the United |
States. OF course, if he is doing it, he
is doing it to add TO the gaiety of the |
nations. But why. will any paper in
dulge in such silly and absurd talk ? /
1t is pure asininity, and nothing else. |
If there is to be war there is plenty !
Of time for it to come, and everyone !
knows that those who are clamoring /
loudest for it now will be the very |
last to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to fight when it presents itself.

A WAR SCARE RESULT.

another good result OF the war
scare" says the New York CONNER
ciaI Advertiser. will be the passage of
law authorizing the president to sell
short time, low interest, emergency
bonds. This has been needed for long
time. but congress would not consider
it till fear of war pricked the sides of
its intent"
It is always the bonds. never the peo-
pie and the country. that are to be con-
sidered when emergencies arise. A
good result Of the war scare will be
the passage of a law authorizing the
president to sell short time. low in
terest, emergency bonds. Indeedl And
the emergency, of course, viii be deter
mined by the bond buyers. But is it
quite sure that congress will pass such
a law? The people had quite enough
of bond issues under Mr.. Cleveland's
administration, though these were not
short time bonds. These emergency,
short time bonds, to make them the
perfect instrument that bond buyers
would have them, should have a gold
payment clause inserted. No doubt
the senate would be perfectly willing
to do this, because if the war scare
can be worked 10 secure the passage
of such law as the Commercial Ad-
vertiser speaks of. of course, II win
not be a difficult matter to work it
for the insertion of a gold clause in
all bonds.
We have seen limitations that the
present war scare is being worked for
the benefit of several interests. but we
have never believed that the admins
tration was lending itself to further
any despicahle schemes. we have be-
lieved that it was acting honestly and
periodically, and still so believe, and
