HERoIsM IN MARINE DISASTER.

The element of heroism has stood forth
distinctly in most Of the marine disas-
tiers, says Frederick Stansbury in The
Illustrated American in an article on
that subject, particularly those of the
navies of the world. The record of one
fatal wreck, now recalled, is softened by
rose tint of romance that encircled 1t.
In 1879 gallant Scotch clipper ship,
the Loeb Ard, was wrecked on the coast
of Gippsland Australia, and many lives
were lest. Among the embryo officers
was young midshipman who worked
heroically to help save the unfortunate
passengers, in which task he was aided
by the courage and sympathy of fair
young girl just verging on womanhood.
Finally, when it seemed that they must
pay the penalty of their daring heroism
with their lives. be took the maiden in
his arms and plunged into the angry sea.
1t was gallant and almost impossible
task, but he brought his fair burden safe
to shore. All Australia rang with praise
of his gallantry, and when the young
couple passed through Melbourne on their
sorrowful journey home, no royal party
ever received a more enthusiastic well
come. A reception was rendered them q
the Theatre Royal, where large audience
applauded the modest young MILDLY to
he echo.

England's apparent sympathy with us
in the Spanish matter probably has some
gelfishness in it inasmuoh as she has, or
is likely to have, some troubles of her
own in the far east in which our moral
influence may be of great assistance to
her. But selfishness does not account for
it all. There is certain bond Of union
between the two countries growing out
of the fact that the people of both belong
to the same race and speak the same Ian
guage. We are commercial rivals and by
the ferceness of our competition some
times bad feelings ore engendered, but
after all there is natural affinity which
draws the two nations together. An
alliance with any foreign power might
be, and probably would be, mistake on
our part since it might involve US in
controversies in which we had little con-
Germ, but what England is contending
for In the rar east is likely to be in the
future as much for our benefit as for

Senator Bacon's amendment to the
Hawaiian annexation treaty which pro-
poses to allow the people of the island to
determine whether they shall be annexed
to the United States, seems to be in accord
with what is right and just. Hawaii is
an independent republic. therefore its
people should have a voice in deter1nin-
ing its destiny. Before the United States
annexed the Texan Republic it got an
expression of opinion on the subject from
the people. There is no reason why it
should not do so in the case of the Ha-
waiian republic, and every reason why it
should The annexation of Hawaii with.
out the consent of her people, practically
amounts to its seizure-and the perform
ance is not helped whit morally by the
fact that the seizure is to be accomplished
by chicanery instead of by force. Indeed
of the two methods seizure by force is al
together the more manly and oreditable
But the amendment will probably not be
adopted. The proprietors of the Hawaiian
job know it would fail if any conditions
such as obtaining the consent Of the people
were attached TO it.

TaE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.

One thing seems to be clear. If we
drive the Spaniards out of Cuba on
grounds of humanity we shall be commit
ting ourselves to the task of compelling
the people whom We allow to remain to
behave themselves. We can not be guilty
of the Inconsistency of putting down
the Spaniards because they are cruel to the
Cubans and then permitting the Cubans
to cut one another's throat. The upshot
of the matter will be that If we go to war
witch Spain in the name of humanity, we
shall have to establish protectorate over
the Cubans, to the extent at least of
making them keep the peace.
There is abundant reason to believe that
the Cubans are not capable of self-govern
ment, that if they try the experiment they
will tall to fighting among themselves
very soon, and that the state OF affairs on
the island with SPANS sovereignty brok-
en- will be as bad, If not worse, than it is
now unless we shall send troops enough
to the island to keep down the rebellious
spirit. The Cuban problem is not solved
therefore, SO far as we are concerned when
we have rid the island of Spanish doml-
nation. We have practically got to govern
it, or confess in effect that it was only
Spanish inhumanity that we objected to-
and that cruelties perpetrated by the
Cubans we are entirely tolerant of. But
to keep the peace in Cuba would be q
very costly job-costly in money and in
human life. The story of the present war
demonstrates that. Probably not a ma
jority of the present population is in SYM
pathy with the present rebellion, and
comparatively very small number are
active participants in it. Yet the Span
iards have sent more than 20o,0 600 men to
the sisland, and still the rebellion is
unsubdued and unchecked. The truth is
that the nature of the country and the
kind of warfare carried on make 1t al
most impossible to suppress it. We should
encounter just the same difficulties there
the Spaniards have met if we should I'M
dertake to suppress an uprising in the Is
land. and that they would prove any less
formidable to us than to them is by no
means certain. The climate would be no
less deadly, and the swamps and noun
tains in which the guerilla bands con-
ceal themselves no less difficult for us to
explore. We have vastly more resources
than Spain but we imagine that the
American people would grow very tired
of spending them in the interest of hui
manity in Cuba. The fact is that free
ing Cuba-is liable to impose upon us some
very unpleasant and costly responsible
ties: and before we commit ourselves to
that policy calm survey had better be
taken of them. Humanity like charity,
begins at home, and it may be wise to in
quire if it will be humane to our own
people to impose upon them the doing of
police duty il an island in the torrid zone
where plague and pestilence are always
lurking for victims among the unaccli-
mated, and where the people have never
shown any capacity for self government
and have never had any experience in it.

looked. If reports are true it has as

gems to have demanded the cession of
one of the Chinese provinces, on pain of
taking it by force if refused. This has
stirred up England and Japan, and the
press of the former country is again pro-
claiming that England must have equal
privileges in China with Russia or there
will be fighting. 1t appears to be the fact
that the relations of Russia and England
arc strained almost to the breaking point
but diplomacy may settle the trou BILE and
avert war as it has done many times be-

The Waterville people were so sure
that they had devised scheme forsbuild
ing city hall that would ciroumvent
the provision of the constitution limit
ing the borrowing of towns toanve per
cent of their valuation that they went
ahead with it before consulting the
court. Now the court has declared that
it does not ciroumvent the constitutional
provision and the contractor who had
already spent sssS5000 on the foundation
OF the building is at loss where to look
for reimbursement. We believe that
the Waterville people had the opinion
of eminent lawyers in approval Of. their
scheme, but unfortunately the court
did not accept their views of the case.

Grsybacks Rolled Up q Lead Of Four

EASTERN LEAGUE STANDING.

A big crowd saw the Providence
Adelaide Park in an uphill game. The
contest was an interesting one and
showed that the home team is not one
that can be beaten even when it's op-
ponent gets long lead In the early
stages OF the game. Evans pitched in
good form after the FIRST inning and
was. given excellent support. The visi-
tors opened the game by scoring fcur
runs in the first on two hits. two sac
rifices. muff by Walters and Burrills
home run.
The Grays scored their first run In the
second inning on hits by Leahy and
Crisham and daring base running The
score remained to until the fifth in
ming. Then Leahys fast running beat
out Maguire's tumble and throw, and
after stealing second he scored when
Lynch drove hit through the right
fielder and gained third base by hard
running. Walters sent out long fly
and Lynch scored the third run for
Providence.
The Stars also added two rims to
their score In the same inning. O'Brien
singled and stole second, went To third
on Lawrence's missed third strike and
scored on a scratch hit by Lezotte.
Smith followed with another single, and
then Burrill popped up fly. Evans
failed 10 take II as he should have done,
and Leahy was too far from il TO reach
1t, and that little pop fly bounded away
and was as good as a genuine two
base hit, Lezotte scoring. Things were
looking bad when Cassidy retired the
third man on an elegant stop and
throw.
After two graybacks had been retired
in the seventh the home team tied the
