Tho Risk of being Murdered.

About 1000 murders occurred in
England and Wales during the last
period OF five years for which facts
are available. There were. during the
same time, nearly 16O,O00,000 persons
of all ages exposed to the risk of being
murdered, that is 100000 In any one
year. The yearly risk Of being mur-
dered is. therefore, only the very
small degree of probability expressed
by the odds Of one to 100000. and II
a lifetime be counted as 100 years. the
chance of being murdered some time
Is only one In 1900.

1t seems almost incredible that tho
Spaniards should ever have considered
Cervera's fleet superior to anything we
could send against II, yet such seems
to be the case. II they believed the
comparisons Of the two navies made
by their ne .spapers they are logically
correct In their conclusion.
These articles. says the Chicago
Chronicle. written by Spanish naval
experts. appeal strongly TO a credulous
people and represent our warships rs
absolutely valueless, while their owD
are simply marveis. A. de Canta, the
most popular naval writer in Spain,
makes a remarkable comparison in La
Illustration Nacional or Madrid that is
quite sufficient to inspire his country
men with confidence.
He admits that the United States has
the larger fleet, but shows that II Is
practically valueless. 1T is manned
by the dregs Of an almost worthless
population-criminals and released
convicts. For the most part these are
foreigners without the slightest pa
triotism. The crews. being animated
by motives of Stupidity alone. are des.
titute Of that pride and enthusiasm
that control Spaniards." For these
reasons. Mr.. Canta concludes: "Ths
result is. therefore, that II our navy

their transcendent bravery. which ID

they should the waves would wash

for coast guards. The recent sailing
record Of the Oregon somewhat dis
credits this criticism.
He says the battleships California
and Pennsylvania are under construc-
tion, which will be news to Americans.
He declares the Texas to be woefully
deficient. Her machinery is bad-be-
yond repairing-her torpedoboat tubes
are useless. She Is bad lot"
The only American ship Of which
he speaks kindly is the Brooklyn. He
says she is fast and "can, therefore, re-
fuse to fight at ALL" a point which the
Spaniards In the Caribbean appear to
appreciate.

Nearly a year was consumed by the
commission in its work. plenty of time
was taken for reflection.
No convention could take that length
of time. A large convention would have
to appoint committees to attend TO the
various articles, and the committees
must take the necessary time for con-

done by convention or otherwise the

spirit is likely TO be manifest and to de-

THAT newspaper formerly pub
lished in darkest Olneyville, and now
emanating from a remote corner Of
the city of Providence seems yet una
ware that the United States has con-
quered Spain and captured certain
Spanish possessions. We would re-
respectfully suggest that since Olney-
Vile is no more, the word .'behind"
might be substituted in our esteemed
contemporary headline. The Times
should also be informed that the
Dutch have taken Holland.-Pascoag
Herald.
The above, which as an article of
aggressive eloquence compels our
unwilling admiration, no doubt ema-
mated from the the ponderous brain
of the Herald's editor on reading the
following, which appeared in the
TINES of the issue Of October 18th:
sHaving driven the Spanish from
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, it remains to be determined
how those countries may best be ad-
vanced along the path of uplifting to
better things that come with freedom
and liberty" Franklin Sentinel.
Excuse us, brother, but are the
Spaniards driven out of all those
places you mention: - Olneyville
Times.
At that time it will be remem-
bered that the Spanish troops had
not evacuated Porto Rico, the United
States troops will not take formal
possession of Cuba until December
st, and perhaps not then, and as for
the PHILIPPINES, who can say when
tina stars and stripes will float over
the whole of that vast archipelago ;
So the TIMES was at least technically
right in its query. The fact of the
United States having defeated Spain
was not discussed until our able
friend from Burrillville brought it
up. We feel profoundly grateful
that brilliant mentor like the Her
aid is watching us so closely, and is
so ready to correct our numerous
mistakes, and place our wandering
footsteps in right paths In the
matter of acquiring new territory the
Herald should be an authority. and
we are sorry it has proved itself a
ftlse light. During the Late un-
pleasantness" with Spain our es-
teemed contemporary published 4
''war column" which, no doubt.
.'took' with Buck Hill denizens
and Herring Pond natives, but that
success should not have turned the
editors head to the extent that he
could expect to give points to me-
tropolitan paper like the TIMES.
AS for the TINES emanating from
.san obscure corner" it strikes us
that paper living ii rglass house
