Damnum Absque lnjuria.

The dignity Of President MoK1NLEY's
attitude and course throughout the De
LONE incident has struck all Americans
very favorably. He is perfectly competent
to look after the honor Of his Administra-
tion. The affair is not a proper subject for
action by Congress.
The scurrying efforts of Sefor Don En-
RIoUE DUPUY DE LONE to get out Of his
humiliating position with as little abrasion
of the cuticle as possible are purely selfish,
and they concern only himself and his
Government. 1t is like the case Of a man
who has conducted himself Extensively In
the presence of his hosts, and who rushes
for the bach stairs In order to escape from
the house without being kicked by the
footman at the front door. II his scheme
of evasion succeeds, that is nothing to the
dispensers of the hospitality which he has
outraged and forfeited. The main thing
with them is that he shall be outside the
house, not inside.
Seior Don ENRIQUE DUPuY DE LONE is
on the street side of the front door now. 1t
would add nothing to the ignominy Of his
exit to send him his passports and that
proceeding, in fact, would be automatically

Minister at Washington. He can go or
remain as he pleases, and be the master of
his " movements, provided he keeps out
Of the hands Of the local police. He can
even stay in Washington as his predecessor,
YRUJo, stayed, ninety.two years ago, aim
ing harmless insults at the Government
which had nothing more to do with him, an
object of general contempt and ridicule.
We observe that the Hon. EUGENE HALE
is reported as expressing surprise that Sehor
DE LONE hould nave turned out to be a
person Of this particular stripe. Perhaps
nobody has done more than Senator HALE
to make pleasant DE LoME's s~ojourn in
this country. Not a fellow citizen doubts
the Senator's loyalty to American ideas
and American interests; and this recent
experience may make him a better Judge
hereafter of personal character. Who can
be sure, even, that DE LONE has not com-
municated to CANALEJAs or some other
correspondent his private opinion of the
Senator from Maine2
However great may be DE LoME's offence
from the point Of view Of either the pru-
dent d~iplomatist or the straightforward
gentleman, 1t is certain that President
MCKINLEY hos not been injured. Ger
tainly the American people have suffered
nothing. Certainly the cause of Free Cuba
loses in DO particular. The only damage
inflicted by the later YRUJo is upon Senior
SAGAsTA's Ministry and the interests of
Spain and the ultimate results Of the in
cident are not yet in sight.

Veterans and Jury Duty.

The Hon. HENRY j. CoGGEsHALL has in
troduced into the State Senate q bill to
exempt veterans of the civil war from jury
duty.
This bill should not pass. There are too
many persons and classes of persons ex-
empted from jury duty under existing
statutes. The number should be dimin-
ished, not increased.
1t would be interesting to know what has
Induced Mr.. CoGGEsHALL to suppose, If he
does suppose, hat veterans of the civil war
want to be relieved from jury service. Is
he not trying to show them a mark of honor
which they do not wanta The men who
were patriotic In war have not ceased to be

they wish to be discharged from an impor-

The Troops for Alaska.

In sending Col. ANDERSON to Alaska,
with o companies, G, H, B, and A, of
his regiment, the Fourteenth Infantry, the
Wa Department has shown a proper ap.
probation of our interests In that region.
The movement, to be sure, is only in line
with that Of last autumn, when troops were
despatched to st. Michael, near the mouth
OF the Yukon. That, however, was a very
small detachment, whereas now Col. AN.
DERsoN takes half his regiment, with two
more companies held in readiness to follow,
so that we should not be surprised to see
the entire Fourteenth Infantry in that Ter.
ritory during the coming spring.
Col. ANDERSON Is an officer of wide expe-
rience, the senior line Colonel in the army,
having been more than eleven years In his
present grade. The Fourteenth Infantry is
stationed at Vancouver Barracks, so that it
can be sent north with less outlay for
transportation than II some other regiment
had been chosen. Two of the companies
will go to Dyea and two to Skagway.
The change of conditions in Alaska be.
