TUESDAY EVENING, MAR 1, 1888
IN A communication to the New
York Herald, Mr.. F. Gardiner says:

cit was faux pas to send our ship
10 Havana, because she was not needed
there. Is not Consul General Lee NOR
ally responsible for her loss? II ne
wanted q vessel to save himself from
imaginary foes and to allay his puerlle
fears, why not send the Dolphin to Ha-
ysna? With the Cuban people in the
present frame of aind on account OF
the numberless filibustering expeditions
leaving our shores, we should try TO
avoid all possible friction with the
Spaniards. Our men os-war can rem
der more service to the American In.
terests in Cuba from their anchorage at
Dry Tortugas than from the haroor OF
Havana, no matter what Consul Gen,
eral Lee says. Sad experience should
teach us lesson"
Who Mr.. F. Gardner is, is not
known down this way. However,
that he belongs to the lcono-
clasts goes without saying. But
Consul General Lee had neither
imaginary foes nor peurile fears, and
though the sending of an armed and
shotted battle ship to Havana during
the strained relations existing between
this country and Spain was unquestion-
ably unwise, to speak oft in the mild
est terms, certainly the consul there,
an ex.Copfederate, had not the power
to send her. 1t is the President,
and not Consul General Lee, who sent
the Maine to Havana, when the slight
est degree of prudence would have Kept
her at homo; and because nearly three
hundred lives were lost by the accident
is certainly no reason to intelligent
people why thousands more should be
made to lose theirs.

THE "YELLOW JOURNALS"

We are in receipt of many letters
asking whether nothing can be done to
stop and punish the silly lying of two
New York journals, perpetrated with
the design of stirring up q feeling
among Us in favor of war on account Of
the Maine explosion. Frankly, We do
not see that there can. The trouble
lies in the condition OF our society.
Suppose We had a law declaring such
articles criminal libel, it would have
10 be executed through jury trials.
These trials would last for months, and
would rival the Dreyfus trial in blath-
erskite and absurdity, and act as tre-
mendous advertisement for the wretch
ed sheets which caused them. OF
course such libels as they have been
publishing on the Spanish government
and people ought to be criminal o.
lenses, but we have long ceased to re-
gard printed stuff as criminal unless it
is obscene. The people who buy such
papers are really particeps criminis.
In the well-governed and highly civil.
lied communities of the future, they
will be arrested at the news-stands and
locked mp. but we are far from that.
The reason why such journals lie is
that it pays to lie, or, in other words,
this is the very reason for which they
are silly and soandalons and indecent.
They supply want of 9 demoraliZed
Moreover, such journals are
