A burly negro rejoicing in the name Of
Joshua Samuel Scott grew excited over
political argument at the corner Of First

ment that appeared most convincing to Mr..
Scott was one straight from the shoulder
upon the solar plexus Of his political op-
ponent. He delivered It. but Officer Hub
hard happened to be within sound of the
blow, prevented any further discussion by
escorting Scott to the place where politics
cannot be talked except by the officers
To lie in the gutter with 1885 in ones
pockets is somewhat strange proceeding,
traceable only to paresis or paralysis. Yet
this was the condition in which an officer
found a citizen on East Second street at
1920 p m The mans paralysis was obV-
ously due to tntoxicants. He blessed the
good Samaritan who delivered himself
and the still substantial remnants Of his
horses or robbed by men, but cursed the re-
porter who wanted to know his name.

The North German Lloyd steamer Havel
has been sold to the COmpania Transit
lantica of Barcelona. That company
stands in the same relation to the Spanish
government as the company which We
know as the American Line stands to the
United States government The ships of
the Compania Transatlantica are liable to
be impressed into the service of the Span
ish government just as we impressed the
steamers Paris, New York, St. Louis and
St Paul of the American Line into our
auxiliary naval service. 1t seems to have
been generally understood that the Span
ish company desired the Havel in order
that she might become a Spanish cruiser,
and it is confidently expected that she
will before a great while appear as an
armed vessel ready to make war upon
American commerce.
The North German Lloyd Company is,
as its name indicates, a German corpora
ton. 1t operates several lines of steam
Ships, including one to the United States.
The American people have been it's best
customers. They have put hundreds of
thousands, if not, indeed, many millions,
of dollars into ats Golfers. They have treat
ed the line impartially, giving it as much
patronage as they gave to other ships sail
ing under other flags. In return for their
liberal patronage, the North German
Lloyd has sold one of its ships to parties
who will arm ID and turn it against the
people from whom the company has been
drawing its most profitable business. The
company may have found an opportunity
to take a good profit on its vessel; but is
that profit large enough to compensate it
for the loss of the good will of the Amer
/ lean people which may follow; or do the
directors of the company imagine that the
American people are so complaisant that
they will overlook the sale of the Havel
indirectly to Spain and continue 10 patro-
nize North German Lloyd ships the same
as before?
Mr. Schwab, the New York agent of the
company, has been placed in an uncom-
Portable position by the sale of the ship.
No longer ago than April II he declared, in
behalf of the company: 1--WE would not see
the vessels of our line armed with Spanish
guns in American waters, shooting down
American citizens" Yet that is what Mr..
schwab would see, in the case of the Ha-
vel, il the Spaniards could have their way
about entering American waters With
her A few days later Mr.. Schwab said;
Il can state positively that our company
would not sell one of our vessels at any
price to Spain" Still the Havel has been
transferred to a Spanish company, and the
government will take her.
