LET SUSPICION RULE.

The explosion in the big Delaware powder factory following SO closely upon the explosion in a similar factory in California, may mean nothing more than accident, pure and simple, but the disasters are calculated to arouse suspicion of foul play and put the whole country on the watch.
 This is such big country and we have become so used to the presence of foreigners in our midst, that a Spaniard would have almost as great chance of escaping notice and doing us immense damage as any other citi- zen would have. The absence of a system of espionage in the United States, such as prevails in most Eu- ropean countries, would enable spies and plotters to move about in our midst with greater freedom and inn munity than in any other country on the globe.
 The powder mills in the United States are working on rush orders and are filling immense contracts, and it is reasonable to suppose that some of the ordinary precautions against danger might be relaxed under such circumstances and in the hurry of the work. The explosions, therefore, may have occurred from negligence. Still the country ought to be on the look out for any depth of Spanish treachery. It would be possible to do us much in- jury at home, and the Spaniards are the very men to attempt it. In fact this nation, upon the very beginning of hostilities, ought to have been warned by the government to watch every hour. We are not fighting the most honorable foe, by any means. and should govern ourselves accordingly It will be difficult for the interior cities of the country to realize that we are fighting anybody, but we cannot af- ford to forget that we are actually at war;
 The many rumors, therefore, that come from various sources that Span ish spies are supposed to be seeking this or that information, or plotting this or that nefarious scheme, should not be discarded with our usual con- tempt for lying rumors, but be traced by local police everywhere and secret agents of the government, to thei1 source. Suspicious foreigners cannot be watched too closely in time ol war. Our reckless habit of treating possible danger lightly and our over weening confidence and want of sus- picion might result in great and last ing injury to us in times like the pres ent-

THE MORTGAGE LAW,

Recently the State Supreme Court heid
the deficiency judgment law to be uncon-
stitutional IN so far as pre-existlng con-
tracts were concerned. This was in
conformity with the declaration OF the last
state Democratic convention upon that
subject Last week, by bare majority,
the court decides the law to be against
public policy and therefore entirely I'M
constitutional The decision is signed by
Judges Scott. Anders and Gordon.
The Court comes to this decision by
very round-a- bout route, For instance:
the Court supposes the case OF a man
who might. without this law, be able to
borrow sum OF money greater than his
security would justify because OF his
honesty, but would be deprived OF such
privilege il this law was upheld. 1t does
not seem to occur to the Court that If a
man is Wiling to lend another by reason
OF the formers honesty he will do so
whatever the law Again, "Under this
law a man who holds a promssory note
for which mortgage security has been
originally taken, but where such security
has become lost or impaired, is not given
the same rights that another citizen is
who simply took a note without any Sc
curitv.' 1t would seem to layman that
the latter was entitled to greater consld-
Grafton. As two OF the five judges refused
to concur ii the decision We may also be
pardoned for daring to differ with the
other three. The net prohibiting gold
coin contracts is held void as being Il
subject upon which the state cannot legis.
late Justices Dunbar and Reavis have
filed strong dissenting opinions.
The other features, and they are sub
stantial ones, OF the mortgage law are
upheld Appraisement must be had and
the property cannot be sold ior less than
so per cent thereof, unless the debt does
not amount to that the debtor is entitled
to possession OF the property priosto the
time of redemption with the fight>Pe
rents and profits, or to have these applied
upon the payment OF the debt. Under
Republican law the creditor was entitled
to the rents and also interest upon the
Judgment in case OF redemption. The
reasonable attorney fee statute is also up
held the courts being allowed to fix the
fee, while under the old law stipulation
for an exhorbitant fee, that would take
the greater part OF the amount bid for the
property, was enforced. The part OF the
law remaining is 4 vast Improvement
over the old law.
