WHAT BOSTON EDITORS SAY.

be Precipitated.

slobe OF the Opinion That Conflict May
be Precipitated.
Boston. March 1.-THE Globe treats
the outlook In these words: Our pres
snt peril is not that we will worry our
selves into war, but that the elements
which make whatever public opinion
there is in Spain may in the absence or
worry on their part heedlessly ana is-
aorantly precipitate the Spanish gov
srnment into a conflict for which IL Is
40 better prepared than the Chinese
we're for a war with Japan. Win its
next years revenue pawned to meet
This years interest on it's overwhelming
debt. It's currency wretchedly depre-
ciated. and It's credit exhausted, It's
soldiers in Cuba unpaid, and a large
standing army necessary at home 10 pre-
vent revolution, Spain could not nope
to war against the meanest power III
Europe, while only the greatest power on
that continent could hope to make any
showing In war with a nation like ours,
1000 miles away"
In it's leading editorial The Journal
says: Nothing Is clearer than that
neither Spaniards nor Cubans viii listen
to any halfway measure whatsoever.
On the one hand, complete submission
is the only thing which will even be con-
sidered, and on the other, complete IN
dependence. We Americans are in no
position to criticise the Cuban patriots.
Let US suppose that in ISL, just before
the campaign of Yorktown and when,
after years of bloody secrifices, we had
reason to believe that our freedom was
almost won, the leaders of the army and
the congress at Philadelphia had been
confronted with proposition from
benevolent outsiders TO lay down their
arms and accept certain degree OF self
government under the sceptre of the
king OF England. Does anybody sup
pose that such proposition would have
been entertained for a moment? Was
not eyerysproposition looking TO COM
promise OF the real point at issue prompt
ly and emphatically rejected during the
revolutionary war, and also during the
war Of the rebellion?"
The Post expresses it's scepticism con-
cerning foreign interposition in the
event OF a disagreement between the
United States and Spain in these words:
"The veiled threats Of what may be done
by the con ert OF European powers
should alarm no one. This concert OF
powers has recently had a severe strain
over the eastern question: il is more than
doubtful that there would be any con-
cert at all If a western question involv-
Ing the United States were presented.
The European powers may not like the
Monroe doctrine, but they will not join
in war upon the United states for the
sake OF expressing their dislike. They
have enough TO attend TO at home; Eu-
ropean doctrines and balances are suffi-
Client TO occupy their care. In any COM
plication OF circumstances. as between
Spain and the United States, the Eu-
ropean powers cannot be expected TO
take more than passing interest. A
mild diplomatic expression of hope that
the United States will not interfere to
drive Spain out OF Cuba is the utmost
that can be imagined"

they would hardly go to the extent Of

house side that the question Of carrying

upon the attitude OF the senate.

Display of the Aurora Last Night Finest
In Many Years.
Boston, March 16.-One OF the finest
auroral displays seen in this vicinity for
many years flashed and glowed in the
northern heavens for an hour or more
last evening. Great waves of light
swept in a grand arch from east to west
and back again, variegated by long
streamers stretching TO the zenith, which
snapped and almost glittered against
the blackness of the sky. A greenish
tinge was the predominating color but
many of the intense portions Of the dis
play had a crimson hue. The spectacle
was over by 8 o'clock. but during the
display all the telegraph lines were
seriously affected. The aurora was seen
throughout New England, being es-
pecially brilliant in Maine.

New Depot in Topeka,

An agent OF the road has been in
Topeka looking at grounds for pro-
posed improvements of the Missouri
Pacific Railway Company, adjacent
to the corner of Fifth and Adams
streets. There is prospect that
the company will abandon it's station
and freight house on the so-called
Ritchie tract, except that occupied by
its right-of-way and round house, and
construct additional terminal facilities
near Fifth street. This will afford the
company much better facilities for the
transaction of its passenger and freight
business. If all the business is trans
ferred to Fifth street it is probable
that a commodious passenger and
freight depot will be constructed in the
spring. 1t is entirely probable that the
engineer will turn in a favorable re-
port to the company, and that COM
modious freight and passenger depot
will be built.
