SPAIN HAS BEEN LocoED.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says information has
reached this government that with
view to protect her own coast and en-
barrass this country in it's operations
against Porto Rico, the Spanish au-
thorities are thinking of dividing what
remains of the Spanish navy and send
ing portion to American waters.
The government at Washington may
have received such information. and it
may even be correct, still it should not
cause the administration any serious
thought, much less sway it d hairs
breadth from the path it has marked
out for the conduct of the war Spain
may do such a thing as foreshadowed
by this Washington correspondent, for
Spain has lost all her common sense,
and seems no more able to tell what
she is doing or what will be the conse-
quence OF her actions than an old hen
with the blind staggers. Such an eX-
petition by part of Camara's fleet
would be nothing but desperation, and
the Americans have learned that a
Spanish fleet driven to desperation.
making a dash for liberty with a deter
mination to DO or die, is not a thing to
be feared, especially when commanded
by Spanish officers and manned by
Spanish sailors.
Were part of Camara's fleet to cross
the Atlantic. it would be impotent
when it arrived. 1t couldn't go to Ha-
vana: it couldn't go to Santiago; it
couldn't go TO San Juan; about the
only place it could go would be to the
bottom of the sea, where Cervera's ia
nous fleet went. The absurdity of this
latest proposition shows better than
anything else could to what desperate
straits Spain is reduced. and how
really impotent she has become.
Spain has been locoed.

INDIANS AND FILIPINos.

A contemporary says this country
oughtn't to have any trouble in ha-d-
ling the FiliDinos. having succeeded so
well with it's own Indians.
Uncle Sans success with his Indian
wards. ruled without representation
and supported without being taxed, is
debatable question.
Our Indian troubles have been more
expensive than all our foreign wars.
Cur Indian wars were incessant for
over 8 century.
Was there so much excitement in this
constant struggle with savage foes that
men are anxious to continue it, in for
eign laSds. now that the red man of
America is no longer able? Was there
so much pleasure in the gradual eXter-
mination of one race that a Christian
people would continue the work with
another?
The people of the Philippines are as
wild, as ignorant. as indOlent as were
the aborigines Of this country: they
have not the manly traits of the Amer
lean Indian: they are less moral, less
energetic; they present a problem, liv-
ing as they do. on a thousand isles of
tropic sea. much more difficult than
civilization found on this continent.
And the only solution there, as it was
here. is determination.
This may sound harsh, but history
tells the tale. a thriving, growing race
of natures noblemen" once peopled
this lard. They were not up to the
standard of their civilized conauerors,
and they had to give way. Back they
were crowded. farther into the wilder
ness were they driven, then out into
the open plain and across; among the
mountains they scattered, but civiliza-
ton rounded them up and herded them
in corrals. and even took the corrals
away from them later on.
1t is a pathetic story history tells of
the dwindling of the red race, and the
justification OF progress does not take
one iota from its pathos.
But the growth of population and
the spread of enterprise kept pushing
the outposts of civilization a little fur

ment crossed this continent, establish
ing its rule from sea to sea. There

the name of the government.
II were easier to justify the treat
ment accorded our Indian wards if the
lands from which they have been driven
are put to the greatest possible use.

as governor. I was officially confronted
with this very question, the chief ex-
ecutive of the state has no right to in
terfere.
The law is clearly defined. and it is
not a governors business to prevent
its operation.
Mrs. Place was convicted of a most
brutal murder. a woman, her niece,
being the victim, and aside from ssnti
mentality, which is no reason, there is
no reason in the world why she should
receive executive clemency. Justice is
supposed to be blind, and should be,
and when d crime is committed. the
punishment affixed to that crime should
be imposed and carried out, the sex of
the criminal being unknown and
matter Of indifference to the law.
So far as the Worlds interviews in
dictate public sentiment on the question
is healthy ard very strong against
maudlin sentimentality.

SHOULD A MURDEREsS SUFFER
DEATH?

The imposing of the death sentence
upon Mrs Place has given rise to a
discussion of the question in New
York. through the columns of the
World. whether or no the death pen
atty should be inflicted in the case of
a woman. Out of twenty-one EXPIRES
sions of opinion on the question in
the World of Saturday, eighteen were
to the effect that there should be no
distinction in the infection of the
death penalty in the case of women
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree, any more than in the case of a
man convicted of murder. Three based
their opposition to the inflic-
ton of the death penalty in
the case of Mrs. Place, on the
ground that they did not believe in
capital punishment, but one of these
held that 'if the crime of murder le-
gany calls for death. I think no sex
distinction should be made;'' the
other two were simply against capital
punishment.
Among those who expressed them
selves on the question was Ex-Governor
Flower. His views were as follows:
To my mind this sentimental inter-
est in behalf of a murderer, simply
because the murderer happens to be
woman, is vicious nonsense.
Murder is murder and the penalty
is clearly fixed by law. which recog-
nizes no sex in the perpetrator. The
object of this law is alike TO punish
the guilty and TO serve as a terrible
warning.
To establish sex discrimination.
giving to the convicted woman muir
derer immunity from the death pen

My voice is for justice-full Justice
in each and every case. If a man or a
woman takes a human life and is con-
victed of the crime, let him or her
die.

HoAR VS.. NORTON.

Senator Hoar has no more patience
with the aDti-American sentiments of
Professor Charles Eliot Norton than
At the Clark university summer school
the senator took occasion to criticise
the distinguished professor, and now
the latter comes out and says the SEN
ator based his criticism on garbled SEN
fences from an account of an interview
in western newspaper with himself.
The professor has made public a state
ment of what he did say, and in that
statement he says: Il did say to the
youth of this university that this war
with Spain was inglorious, and, as it
was for the accomplishment of ends
unnecessary to us as nation, it was
needless, and, consequently. 'crimi-
NAL: that all Americans held their lives
at the service of their country, but that
they should carefully consider whether
the best use they could make of them
selves in her service was TO enlist in
such a war. 1 see no reason to change
these opinions and this advice"
The criticism the senator made in his
summer school address was, in part, as
follows:
In strange contrast with these
tokens of respect are few discordant
and Earring notes which are heard at
home 1 see that Professor Norton of
Harvard is quoted as telling the youth
of the university that it is character
istic of the American people TO be
trifiing. They have acquired varnish
of civilized life. but their natures have
not been refined
Poor Professor Norton, Color-blind
and music-deaf, At this day, when the
north and the south are coming to-
gether, when Mother England is learn
ing TO know her daughter and to love
her again, he says that it is character
istic of the American people to be
trifing, and that he feels, with Horace
Walpole, that he should be proud of
his country if it were not for his coun-
trymen.
Heaven knows that do not say this
from any desi-e to infiict pain. But it
is due to the youth Of the country. it
is due to Harvard, that somebody shall
say this: If such utterances are to go
from our foremost univer-
sity, manhood and courage and honor
will follow athletics to Yale, or will fol-

DISSATISFACTION OF VoLUN-
TIERS OVER ASSIGNMENTS.

1t appears that there is dissatisfac-
ton among some of the volunteers in
various parts of the couLtry over their
assignments. Seemingly they were all
anxious to go to the front. to be moved
right into the zone of fire, that they
might mingle in deadly combat with
the foes CT their country. This desire
does the highest credit to their courage
and patriotism. but it leaves out of
view the first two essentials of the
true soldier-obedience and discipline.
As an Illustration of the dissatisfac-
ton referred to. is the case of the First
New York volunteers, now in San Fran
cisco. At first they were assigned to
Honolulu. This was not satisfactory,
the regiment, as represented by its
colonel, wanting to go to Manila, he
even going so far as to lodge a protest
with the war department; whether the
protest will avail him anything re-
mains to be seen. 1t appears, accord
ing to the San Francisco Call, that the
California volunteers want to go to
Honolulu. and not to Manila; whether
they have lodged any protest does not
appear.
The question arises, What did these
ner expect when they volunteered?
Did they expect that their wishes would
be consulted in the matter of their as
signment for duty or the interests of
the government. as determined by the
war department? They volunteered at
their country's call. and to serve it
where and how it chose to employ
them. When volunteering they should
have reflected on all this Had they
done this. they would have realized
that the surest and only way to avoid
disappointment in the matter of as
signment is not to expect to be sent to
any particular place. When they
sigred the muster roll and took the
oath, they abdicated, for the period for
which they enlisted. their individual
freedom and all that that means. and
suhordinated their wills to that of their
superiors. Traced to its true source, it
will be found that much of the disaD-
pcintment in assignment is nothing
mere than the irksomeness of life in
a military camp where one can have
no liberty, save by special permission
of his superiors. The best remedy for
this is constant drilling in preparation
for conflict. should it come. After the
rCvelty of Manila and Honolulu has
worn off, camp life there will be just
as monotoaous and irksome as on the
sand hills of San Francisco.
Tie Dernicious part of this dissatis-
faction is that the idea has got abroad
that assignments can be changed
through political pulls. Bad as it is
that many army appointments have
been obtained through political pulls,
ii would be a hundred times worse
could political influence change the as
signment of troops. 1t would next un-
dertake to say what should be the for
nation for line of battle. Sherman
said. War is hell" Political pulls and
of it are even worse.
