No Lynch Law for Spain!

The country Is yet waiting for facts from
Havana, and for official opinions sufficient
IL authoritative to determine the public
Judgment. With the exception of the
purely professional shriekers OF sensations,
the newspaper press has we'll represented
the attitude of the people. 1t is that OF a
civilized and law.respecting community.
h%abituated to await evidence before con-
victing, and accustomed TO discriminate
between suspicion and certainty.
That suspicion is prevalent, it is useless
to deny. One thought sprang into every
mind along with the first news of the de.
struction of the ship. With the circum-
stances of the Mainc's visit to Havana
such as they were, this was inevitable ;
and the universal suspicion affected public
opinion In London precisely as it did in
New York or Washington. Even In
Madrid and in Havana the same un-
derlying idea as to the most natural
explanation of the catastrophe is tacitly
acknowledged ; you can discern it behind
the lines Of every expression from a Span
ish source. The formula of Chance allow
for almost limitless possibilities in the way
of condolences; but this wasa case in which
another explanation than accident suggest
ed itself spontaneously and simultaneously
to intelligent observers the world over.
All this counts for nothing in the alb.
sence of facts. The first despatch from
Capt. S%IGsBEE, asking for a suspension of
public judgment, vas v%ariously inter
preted. But it was Immediately accepted
by the people Of the United States as the
command of common sense and common
justice. And until the wreck Of the noble
ship yields up from beneath the water the
secret of her destruction, or conclusive evil
dence from some other quarter leaves no
reasonable ground for doubt, public judg-
ment will remain in suspense, holding the
Spanish Government and SPANS agents
meanwhile guiltless.
This is jingoism. 1t Is A~mericanism

More Town Elections.

While a project for doing away with town.
ship elections for Supervisors Is pending in
the Legislature, these elections continue
on successive Tuesdays, and those held
this week show the same general results as
did the elections of q week ago. They show
the u%nimpaired strength of the Repub-
llcan party in the large cities, and the
d%iminution of the Republican vote, or
rather of the Republican majority, in many
towns Of the interior.
In Jefferson county, for instance, the
Democrats made gains. jefferson covers a
thousand square miles, and includes a
large farming population which is subject
ed constantly to the competition of Cana
dams across the border, and which is too
remote from the metropolitan districts
Of the State to enjoy fully the benefits
of their market for its agricultural prod
ucts. It was in the Congress district of
which Jefferson county is a part that
the silverite resolution committing the ma.
tional delegates to the Democratic Conven-
tion in Chicago in 1896 was adopted,
and In Jefferson, Lewis. n Oswego, the
three counties making up the Twenty
fourth Congress district, tho most pro-
nounced silver sentiment was shown dur
ing the early period Of that campaign. The
Democrats selected both their State can
didates of that year in this district, the
nominee for Governor, Mr.. PORTER, from
Jefferson, and the nominee for Lieutenant
Governor, Mr.. SCHRAUB, from Lewis. In
Tuesdays election, in jefferson, the Demo-
Gratis made a gain of three Supervisors, but
in Cayuga county a very different result
was shown. The present Board of Super
visors elected o. the third Tuesday of
February, 1897, was composed of % Re-
publicans and IL Democrats. The board
elected on Tuesday is composed of 81 Re-
publicans and Of only 6 Democrats.
Cayuga county, unlike Jefferson, includes
O large number Of thriving towns. 1t is on
the line between Albany and Buffalo, and
unalterably opposed to %populism is con-
siderable. Since the issue was squarely
made between friends and opponents of
the national credit, by the vote of the
Democratic Senator and all the Demo.
cratic Congressman in Washington for the
Teller resolution, and of the Republican
Senator and all the Republican Congress-
men from New York against it, every
where throughout the State the result has
been practically the same-Republican
lines straight and unbroken in the cities;
significant but insufficient gains by the
Democrats in the very small towns.
The Empire State is for honest money.

The Two Big Dry Docks.

There are only two dry docks on our At
lantic coast large enough to accommodate
the battleships Iowa, Massachusetts,, and
Indiana, and, unless these are soon ready
for use, the two former ships may have to
be sent to Halifax for cleaning, as the Indi.
ana was. 1t is, therefore, gratifying to find
hope held out by Constructor BowLEs. in
his testimony before the House Naval Com
mittee, that the Brooklyn dock can be
made serviceable in about three months.
Mr.. BowLEs. who has charge of the re-
pairs, said that the trouble was due to bad
work, and that If the dock had been built
according to the specifications, it would be
a good dock but he found the piles driven
down only to seventeen feet, although the
contract required a far greater depth, and
he had pulled up some that had been driven
only two feet. Mr.. SIMPSON said that there
was fault also in the design of the dock :;
but he, too, believed that the structure
could be repaired, SO as to be used. 1t ap-
pears that the nex fortnight will deter
mine definitely whether these views of pos
sible repair are well founded.
As to the Port Royal dock, the case is
different. There tho trouble is in the
approaches, which are so shallow as often
to make 1t a risk to take q big battle.

when bilge keels are put on the ships.
the dock itself will not be capacious
enough. Be that as it may, the present
need seems to be only that of dredging out
the approaches, and n preliminary to that
is the purchase of certain land which Sec

lie. This request should he granted.
Mistakes have been made in these two
docks, but we ought to rave their use at

Drug Clerks and PaternaIism.

Scventy-two out of seventy.fve represen-
tatives Of The Pharmaceutical College of
Kings county have voted to oppose the bill
which has been introduced into the Legis.
lature to shorten hours for drug clerks.
Their feeling is the same as that ex.
pressed by the great body of intelli-
gent pharmaceutists on Manhattan Island.
When. a few nights ago. a meeting was
called In the interest of the oppressed and
overworked drug clerks" there were more
orators thar listeners, and a hasty adjourn
ment was deemed desirable.
Undoubtedly, drug clerks work longer
than others, though that the amount of
steady labor performed by them is greater
Is not demonstrated. Nor is there any evil
dcnce adduced that their "long hours" are
productive of accidents and errors in the
preparation of the prescriptions of physi.
clans, though that such is the case is plaus-
IDLY contended by advocates of the meas
ure. Those who are actually familiar with
the conditions under which the apothe-
cary business Of a great city Is con-
Quoted reject the argument as utterly
fallacious. Drugs are compounded in
New York by qualified pharmaceutists,

The objections to the shorter hours

fold. In the first place, they contend tina
1t ism % the function Of the State to regu.
late the hour of drug clerks any more than
their pay and in the second place, that the
practical effect Of the adoption of such a
measure would be 10 reduce the number of
apothecaries by increasing the cost of their
maintenance, thereby depriving the more
thickly populated districts, especially, of
the benefit they now enjoy from numerous
apothecaries. A very few of the large es.
Establishments might afford the greater bur
den of expense, though even that is doubt.
full, hut the great mass of apothecary shops
would be compelled to close or to reroup

More Rattleships.

The loss OF the Maine increases the need
OF prompt action by Congress to add to our
small list of ships Of the line. Excluding

are primarily coast defenders, and the
cruisers Brooklyn and New York, which
carry only 3-inch and 4.inch plates re.

Massachusetts,, Oregon, and Texas, built,

gon is on the Pacific, and is meant for ser.
vice there, while the Texas, like the i'll.
starred Maine, is a battleship of the second
class. Thus Of first.class battlcships we
have o available on the Atlantic coast
in case of sudden hostilities only three.
Secretary LONG, in his programme re.
Gently laid before the House, asked for one
more battleship of the first class at this
session, that one to be built and to serve
on the Pacific coast. Manifestly ships are
needed for both coasts; and one for either
will not satisfy the simplest prudence. Not
until we have twelve battleships for our
Atlantic seaboard and six for the Pacific
can we be said to possess anything ap.
preaching an adequate line.o battle force.
In answer to the objection of cost in
the present condition of the finances, it is
enough to say that only a very small in.
stallment on a second battleship need
be appropriated. In fact, there is a re.
cent precedent for authorizing such q
ship with no preliminary appropriation

ment has already largely advanced the
plans of a battleship, rightly assuming
that one will be authorized, and although

The examination of Captain and Assistant
Surgeon Jefferson D. Poindexter. who is sup.
posed to have some eccentric ideas In regard to
the use of salt. was begun yesterday afternoon
in the United States Army building. in White.
hall street. The proceedings are with the view
of retiring him from active service. and the e1.
aiming board will probably remain in session
several days before 1t will pass upon his mental
condition.
Capt. Poindexter has been stationed since the
first OF the year With the Fifth Artillery at Fort
Hamilton, and the examination with regard to
his sanity was brought about by a letter he wrote
10 the Surgeon-General in Washington in which
he tried to demonstrate the deleterious effects
Of salt, holding that as a mineral matter 1t In.
jures the human system. He also deprecated
the use OF salt in the United States Army. as.
according to his theory, it is enervating and
renders the soldier UNFIT to do hard work. He
furthermore quoted that abstention from salt
would cure chronic diseases.
Col. Charles C. Byrne. Assistant Surgeon Gen.
eral, who is q memberof tho board which, is to
