"a Spahiard" In the Fortnightly Review.
The loss of our (Spanish) colonies means
the absolute disappearance of all industry
and commerce which the inhabitants OF
those islands were forced to support. Fac
tories, workshops, magazines-all must be
closed, and thousands upon thousands of
operatives turned adrft on the world,
homeless and helpless. A hundred thousand
soldiers will come home to swell their
ranks. sickly, mutilated men, no longer
needed to fight their country's battles, and
no longer able to carry on the struggle for
existence under the ruins of the old order
of things. The greater number of 10000
military officers will be deprived of their
commands and placed ON the reserve list
where the pay is such that a captain, who
generally has wife and family to support,
receives about two shillings fourpence a
day
Agriculture, which is dying out cannot
support these legions of furnishing men,
women and children. nor are soldiers the
kind of people who take kindly to the hard.
humdrum life of the fields. When thase
multitudes have felt the pinch of hunger
and see themselves thrown back upon the
laws of nature to keep themselves and their
loved ones from dying then the internal
crisis will have begun in very truth, and the
tocsin of the revolution will have sounded
In that day the army will decide by its at
titude whether CarlistS or republicans shall

It. was suggested by some Of the statesmen
here at the time that the United States was
buying up vessels for our fight with Spain,
that both Chile and the Argentine give up
their ships to the United States for some
thing like their cost on the understanding
that the United States would aid them in
case Of foreign complications. This was
also proposed as to the Chilean navy alone,
but 1t never got further than the president s
council chamber At this time the United
States made a proposition to Chile to buy
her fine armored cruiser O'Higgns which
has just been finished in England, but on
account of the danger from the Argentine,
Chile did not dare to sell. At present Chile
has an excellent fleet and one which Is be-
Eeved hero to be far superior to that of the
Argentine. 1t consists of five armor clads,
five cruisers, eleven gunboats and nineteen
torpedo boats. 1t has four destroyers,
which were launched in 1896, and all of
which have a speed Of more than thirty
krots. The Chileans are excellent sailors.
and they have In addition to their navy a
commercial fleet of over $50 vessels Of more
than 100 tons each. They have twenty-five
steamers and they have an English steam
ship line, the Pacific Steam Navigation
Company, which they substitute. If there
is war there may be a naval engagement
near the Strait of Magellan, but here the
Chleans will have the advantage of q

navy has sailed about there for years, and
within the last two years careful surveys
have been made of the seas about the Horn

forces on the taking of Buenos Ayres. This

WILL NOT SAVE FROM DROWNING.
n Strange Antipathy to Rescutnx
Folk From the Water
From the Boston Glob,


A strange antipathy once prevailed TO
| rescuing a drowning man, the idea being
that the person saved would. sooner or
later, do some sort of injury to the man
who preserved his life. Sir Walter Scott
In the Pirate" tells how Bryce the peddler
refused 10 help Mordaunt to save the shin
wrecked sailor from drowning, and even
demonstrated with him on the rashness of
such deed.
Are you mad" said the peddler, lyon
that have lived sac lang In Zetland, to risk
the saving of a drowning man? Wot We
not, IL ys bring him to life again he will be-
sure to do you some injury"
This prejudice, which was deeply rooted
among our sea-going community in many
parts of the country, existed not very
long ago in Cornwall. 1t is found too
among French sailors and the boatmen of
the Danube and is widely credited in Rus
STA.
Mr.. Barry. in his Ivan at Home" gives
a striking instance of the Russian repug-
nance to saving life from drowning
One day a drunken man walked into the
water and disappeared. number of spec
tators stood by and gazed on the scene
with the utmost indifference. but no one
tried to rescue him. A court of inquiry
was held, but as, on examination no cross
was found on his neck. a verdict was
quickly agreed upon by the villagers. who
declared that the man was drowned be-
cause he had no cross upon his neck"
The Bohemian fisherman shrinks from
snatchinG a drowning man from the
waters, fearing that the water demon
would take away his luck in fishing and
drown him at the first opportunity. This
Is lingering survival of the ancient sig
nifcance of this superstition, the eNplana-
ton being that the water spirit is naturally
angry at being despoiled of its victim and
henceforth bears special grudge against
the unlucky person who has dared TO frus-
trate him. Thus, when is
drowned in Germany. the remark is made:
THE river spirit claims his yearly sacri-
fee" or, THE nix has taken him"
Out of Europe, also. the accidental
drowning CT a person is attributed TO a
similar seizure and the Samese breads
the Punk, or water spirit, that seizcs bath
ers and drags them under to his dwelling
The Sioux Indians have a similar fancy.
and tell how men have been drowned by
Unk-Tahe, the water monster. For the
same reason, 1t appears, the Kamtchadals,
far from helping a man out of the water,
would drown him by force. IL rescued by
any chance, no one would receive him into
his house, or give him food.
The Chinese reluctance to save n man
from drowning arises from quite different
belief-it being supposed that the spirit of a
person who has met his death I'm this way
continues to fit along the surface of the
water until it has caused, by drowning,
the death Of a fellow-creature. A China
man. therefore, who attempts TO rescue
another from drowning is considered TO
ircur the hatred CT the uneasy spirit which
Is desirous even at the expense of a mans
life, to escape from its wandcrings.

 Politics.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 

sos Broadway, Dec. 6.
 It is not opposed to public policy for principals of public schools to leave their duties for d day or two and attend polit- ical conventions. After long period dur ing which this matter has been under consideration by the School Board the Directors have decided by big majority not be censured
 The Board of Education is composed al most entirely of Republicans. There is at least one Democrat on the board, and when Principal P. M. Fisher of the Cen tral School went to Sacramento to shout for Dr. Pardee the Democratic minority was sorely displeased. Possibly if Prin- cipal Fisher had howled with greater sue cess and Dr. Pardee had been nominated and had now been Governor-elect of Cali fornia Director Clement would not have introduced his resolution.
 Director Clement has steadily pressed the matter since introducing his resolu- tion some months ago, and finally the board has disposed of the incident Prin- cipal Fisher and Principal Mckissick of the Night School were both included in the resolution recommending censure, but neither will be disciplined. The commit tee which was appointed to investigate the matter presented its report, which recommended that after thorough investi gation it did not consider that the gentle men in dispute had been forsaking their schools or doing politics nor has the habit become so prevalent or the privilege so much abused that cenSure is necessary.
 Directors Clement and Todd took a diff ferent view of the matter and before the incident closed Director Clement got in his final rap as follows: "I am very sorry that anything should be brought up in this matter that savers of political bias. I took this matter up not because the gen tlemen in question were Republicans or Democrats, but because considered being violated. If Mir Fisher be a prin- cipal of the School Department he has no right to wind up his school and go away to a political convention, leaving 1t to look out for itself I believe this mat ter should be investigated and l regret to hear a report at this time accepted by the board"
 The incident has been generally regard ed as being dependent upon whose OK is
