No Allies for Spain.

Nothing could be more absurd
or show greater ignorance of real
conditions Of the European situa-
ton than the repeated suggestions
of European aid for Spain in a war
with us.
From what source is aid to be
expected
Great Britain and Russia are
probably the only two countries
in Europe that would not be in
danger of revolution at home If
they should undertake to render
any quixotic aid to Spain against
the United States. There is every
reason to believe that both OF these
great powers, as well as the Re-
public OF France, are animated by
the most friendly sentiments
toward US.
II would be only natural in the
Emperor of Austria to feel a GER
tain sympathy for his kinswoman
the Queen Regent Maria Chris
tina, who was an Austrian Arch.
duchess, but of all the Govern
ments of Europe that of Austria
Hungary. with its ten different
kingdoms and principalities and
its twenty rival races, is in most
imminent danger of an internal
explosion Even if the Emperor
Francis Joseph were not walking
a tightrope over the discOrdant
elements of his own dominions he
could be of no use to Spain, for he
has no navy and he is held by
his Dreibund engagements.
Moreover, public sentiment is
now the potent factor in govern
ment in Europe, as in this country.
In no country will public senti-
ment let the Government be used
to perpetuate Spanish impotence
and cruelty in Cuba against the
resolute Intervention OF the United
States. If Spain compels us to go
to war il will have to take its drub-
bing, with no one to share its sui
terings. And as Consequences
are Implying" it will not only
lose Cuba and Porto Rico, but be
compelled to pay a heavy indem-
nifty to the United States for the
cost of the war.

"revolts in the American Southern
States" as a set-off to possible in
surrections in the Philippines.

BavAri@'s Mad King Dying

The condition of the insane King
Otto Of Bavaria has suddenly become
worse, and 1t is believed that he is diving.
King Otto was born April a., IS4S,
and succeeded to the throne June IA.
1856, Early in his reign he began to
display extraordinary eccentricitles,
which in time developed into hallucina-
tons, and finally into violent madness.
On June 10, 1886, the government passed
into the hands of the present regent,
Prince Luitpold.
The condition of the unfortunate mon.
arch has been kept as close as possible,
and OF late it had been thought that he
would become quiet and tractable and
impassive to his surroundings. His
physicians had even expected that, un.
less blood vessel on the brain should
burst, lie might reach an advanced age.
This improvement on his meutal condi.
ton was so marked a year ago that a
proposal to declare his reign closed and
to crown Prince Luitpold, the regent,
as King of Bavaria, was definitely aban'
doned on the advice of Emperor Will.
lam and the Kings of SaxOnY and Wur-
temburg.
Within the last three months he has
relapsed into his old violent state; his
lucid intervals have become less frequent
and briefer, and his most dangerous
delusion, that of being stork and able
to fly, has again possessed him. He
smokes cigarettes ImmoderatelY, and
displays an inOrdiuate appetite for can
dies. 1t requires the constant attention
of his attendants to prevent him from
going naked. He Jumps about like an
animal on all tours, and insists on taking
his food off the floor. The windows of
the place where he is confined are built
up to prevent the gleam of light, which
the mad King hates

The Two Navies.
MeaO York Wo1Ld.

Spain's navy IS numerically stronger
than ours. But discarding all warships
projected and building, all antiquated
and practically useless wooden and iron
vessels, the two navies compare IN
respect of large warships as follows:
Battleships-Spain. 1; United States,
7. Seagoing coast defence ships-Spain,
none; United States, 6. Non-seagoing
coast defenders-Spain, a; United States
II. Armored cruisers, Spain, ?, all OF
old types land far less formidable than
their technical names indicate; United
States, 2, and those the new and most
formidable New York and Brooklyn.
Protected and partially protected
cruisers--SpaIn, S of steel and 10 Of iron;
United States, 10, all steel.
Spain makes far better showing in
the smaller craft, torpedo boats and
torpedo destroyers. But her boats OF
this type are far from our shores. They
are divided into two hotillas, one at
Cadlz, the other in a crippled condition
at the Cape Verde Islands.
Indeed. Spain has very little near our
roasts besides the Oquendo and the
Viscaya, and many OF her best ships are
in dry dock or on their way there. We,
on the other hand, have at Key West
alone a powerful feet OF fifteen war
vessels--two battleships, an armored
cruiser, a monitor, three protected
cruisers, two gunboats and six torpedo
boats. And they, like all our fleet, like
our superb flying squadron at Hampl on
Roads, are ready to enter action the
instant the word is given

No More Syndicate Dickors.

Secretary Gage says that il war
is declared there may be an issue
of bonds within thirty days.
One thing ought to be settled at
once. II bonds are to be issued
they should not be sold to any
syndicate OF bankers and i~oney
lenders, no matter how enticinglY
such syndicate shall proffer "readY
cash."
They should be sold to the peo-
pie. And if offered in denomina-
tions Ct Sse and multiples thereof
there is not the slightest doubt that
the people will eagerly buy them,
without seeking. as the syndicates
always do, to rob the Government
by making price greatly below
the actual worth OF the bonds.
But better price is the smallest
of the benefits that will be realized
from a popular instead of syndi-
cate sale. 1t is grave misfortune
that our national obligations are
almost exclusively held by banks
and bankers at home and abroad,
and not by the people.
1t is a source Of untold strength
to France that her peasants and her
workmen are so largely the hold.
ers OF her bonds. They have a
stake" in the national welfare.
France is their France. In Eng
land stability is strongly warranted
bv the fact that great part OF the
money of the estates and of the
people is invested in consols. The
English Government is the English
peoples Government. Its credit
is their credit. It's honor is their
honor.
II is because our bonds are
painlY held by bankers and trust
comp nies that there is 10 great
hostility to "bondholders" in the
South and West. When the farm
ers and the toilers become them
selves bondholders a dangerous
influence in our politics will have
passed away.
There should be no repetition OF
he~blunder and crime Of Cleveland
and Carlisle. There should be no
more secret dickers with syndi.
Gates. II we must issue bonds let
them be offered to the people in
suitable denominations and placed
on sale at every national bank and
every considerable Post Office in
the land. If bankers want bonds
let them buy as the people buy.
So shall we emphasize the truth
of Lincoln's words that ours is "a
government OF the people, by the
people and for the people,"

A Lesson in Political Life

The application tor a disability pen.
sion by John A. Bingham. OF Ohio,
furnishes a sad but instructive object
lesson on the practical results Of pollti-
cal life in this country.
Mr.. Bingham's public record in brief
is that he served sixteen years 10 Con-
gress, and was appointedjudge advocate
with the rank Of major by President
Lincoln, who also appointed him United
States Solicitor for the Court Of Claims,

This is an unusually successful politi-
cal career, and yet now Mr.. Bingham,

Wars and Declarations.

Among all the varieties of hys-
terra, there is one that could be re
lieved by little study of history,
1t is that which implies that for US to
send a lew ships where they would
be of service in case OF the ap-
proach of foreign torpedo flotilla
would be Essentially dish onest," "
because il would be ''to commit an
act OF war before war is declared"
"a thing that would be Infamous
az well as unconstitutional" IAN
act OF piracy" sin violation oil our
own law and OF law of nations
that has been in force and univer-
sally accepted since the earliest
days of the Roman Republic"
Not only the history OF the
United States, including the Gin
famous" captures Of French ves-
sells bv the pirates Decatur and
Truxton without declaration of
war, the invasion OF Spanish
province in time Of peace by the
brigand Jackson, and the fighting
on the Rio Grande in I845 by the
highwaVman Taylor, but the an
mails OF other countries are studded
with similar incidents. Nelson did
some rather warm work at COpen-
hagen in 1901 when Denma rl was
quite as much at peace with Eng
land as Spain is with us now, and
the seizure of the Danish feet at
the same place in 1907 in the alb
sence of declaration of war is a
notable event in British history.
No war had been declared when
the British, French and Russian
fleets destroyed the bulk Of the
Turkish navy at NaVarino; nor to
show that British policy has been
unchanged in recent years, was
there any declaration OF war
against Nicaragua when the British
forces occupied Corinto.
In the latest OF the great wars Of
the present century, that between
China and Japan, hostilities began
by the sinking Of the Chinese
troop ship Kow Shing, with 400
soldiers, on July IS, 1894. and the
capture of a despatch boat The
declaration of war followei on
August I.
The truth is that modern public
lists are coming more and more to
regard declarations Of war as un-
essential formalities, which, if they
are to be resorted to at all, will
follow rather than precede hostil-
lties. 1t is the general belief
among European statesmen and
strategists that the first news the
world will have of the great war
for which they are all preparing
will be the announcement of
crushing blow delivered some
where without warning-that is
the modern way of beginning a
war, and it has been a very com
mon way throughout all history.

To Get More Revenue.

The Ways and Means Commit
tee is reported to be considering a
horizontal" increase in the tariff
duties as means of providing for
the deficit and for war expendi-
lures. But the tariff as it stands is
obviously too high to yield even
current revenues, and to raise it
can only be still further to reduce
the Governments income.
The receipts for March under
the Dingley tariff were only SIs,-
4so,43I. The average receipts for
March for four years under the
Mckinley law were SI5.sIs,os6,
while under the lower Wilson tar.
iff the average for the period was
SIb o5s,9s3. Two facts appear:
/. All three Of these tariff laws
have been so far prohibitive as to
cut off revenues.
a. II we want revenue from Gus
toms We must encourage imports
by cutting down the schedules con-
siderably below those OF any one
of them. To advance the sched-
ules will merely be still further to
reduce revenue.
The best, the simplest and the
least disturbing way to get more
money is, however, to let beer
alone, and to levy tax on incomes.

The shawneetown Calamity.

The disaster at Shawneetown il

men who have deliberately dareC
death and are prepared to meet it
AT Shawneetown the victims were
helpless men, women and children
living quietly in their homes anc
suddenly overwhelmed by iorcs
they could not fight.
Waters piled up twenty feet OF
more above the town suddenly
broke through their frail barriers
and rolled in resistless food upon
the inhabitants. Houses were
swept instantly away and broken
into bits. Helpless human beings
by scores and hundreds struggled
for brief minutes in the icy waters
and then went down.
The figures tell the tale. Three
hundred bodies have been recov-
cred. Three hundred more have
floated away in the turbulent tide.
The loss of life is about the same
as that at the battle of Bull Run,
and the lives were largely those OF
women and young children, moth.
ers and their babes in arms.
1t is a truly terrible calamity,
and unhappilY it is one that may

town. twas destroyed by food
in the spring of 1874.
What gave Shawneetown its inn
portance was that for years it was
the gateway to southern Illinois.
1t was through Shawneetown that
all the commerce of the Ohio river
entered ana left the State, and in
the days before the decline Of the
river traffic that meant a great
deal.
The town is situated on a plain.
About a mile back from it are the
foothills. Ten miles above the
Wabash pours its waters into the
Ohio and adds them to the great
tide that sweeps every spring down
the Ohio Valley. The town is
about twelve miles distant from the
famous salt wells OF Saline Creek,
where, in early days. the Indians
made salt. 1t was the presence Of
these salt wells that indu -ed the
Government to lay out Shawnee
town in 1874. II had long been
predicted that floods would even
tually destroy the town, and in
1871, after it had been flooded for
FIVE or six successive springs, the
citizens built a levee around three
sides OF the little town. In 1875
the levee was swept away, and
again in 1883. Several people we're
drowned in each instance.
Shawneetown reached tine high
est point of its prosperity about
1889, when its population was
$500. 1t had six churches, two
public schools, three hotels, two
banks and two weekly newspapers.
-Four years later the number Of
had decreased to 900.
The latest report before the disas-
ter gave its population as 1900.
