MERIDIAN, MISS, Dec. 21.-Lucy
Thomas and her four-year- old boy were
shot at Eutaw, Ala, to-day by soldiers
o the First Missouri volunteers, who
were mustered out at Columbia. Tenn,
yesterday. 1''se child was shot above
the left eye and is not expected to re-
cover. The mother received painful
wound in the left arm. The soldiers
we're drunk and disorderly, recklessly
shooting into every house as they pass
ed. The woman and child were stand
ing in the door of their home and prov
ed an easy mark for the ruffians. The
firing was done from the train on which
the soldiers were en- route home and
was kept up at other places along the
line, but fortunately without further
fatal results.
Gov. Johnston, of Alabama, has Offer
ed reward of 800 for the arrest and
conviction of every man implicated in
the shooting.

the land would be "handy" and not

showed us over the new city hall and
the new court house, which are an hon

modern style. Anderson is building

THE ALTERNATIVE TO ANNEXATION.

Put vhv some are asking is IL necessary 10
annex Hawaii outright 10 this country? Why
NOT leave IL as il is an Independent nation. with
which we have favorable treaties. and in whose
harbOrs orlr commerce can have all desired IA
cll,ios without the grave responsibilities OF
actual ownership. This country and Hawaii
hoyr been getting on together well for three
quarters of a century; why disturb those rela-
lions: Why not leave things as they are:
The answer supplies itself. promptly and con
yjrclngly We cannot leave things rs they are
because they will not stay they are. Even
now they are not as they have been. Five years
ago the old Hawaiian Government broke down.
1t had becom" utterly corrupt. and collapsed
through It's own rottenness Tie islands were
saved from savage anarchy only by the prompt
action Of n handful Of men, mostly Of United
States origin. who organized a Provisional Gov
crnmcut and appealed 10 the United States for
help in the form Of annexation. That help being
denied. they undertook the desperate task of
maintaining the government they had founded,
in the face Of overwhelming odds Of foes both
without and within Thus far they have man
aged 10 hold their ground But II Is perfectly
evident that they cannot do so permanently.
'rhcre must be n radical change in affairs, and 1t
nlust come soon. What IS that change TO be?
Ccrtainly there can be no restoration of the
old monarchy. with It's corruption and oppres-
slon and It's choppng- machine, which Her Maj
cstv was so eager to apply TO the necks of all
who differed from her views OF policy. Neither
can the islands be given up to the masses of the
Knnaras However tractablc these may be
and however well they may make progress tow
ard civilization under proper guidance. they
are manifestly unfit for sclfgovernment. There
can be 10 more glastly lnockcry than to inveigh
against the half breed" republics Of South and
Central America, and the negro republic of
Hayti, and TO protest against the creation OF
another such in Cuba, and at the same time to
favor the creation Of n kanaka republic In the
Sandwich Islands No. To keep those islands
tit for use as port Of call for Pacific com
Inerce. TO say nothing Of protecting the capital
already invested there and developing the re-
sources of one Of the most productive regions
on the fncc Of the globe. 1t is absolutely neccs-
sary that some outside Power should exercise
authority there.
Well then, why should not the various
Powers that are interested IN Pacific commerce
and therefore in the right administration of Ua-
walian affairs. unite In exercising sufficient
moral and material influence upon the islands
10 insure just and stable government and 10
keep them forever neutral, II not independent? :?
Why. that would mean exactly such an entan
Cling alliance as it is the traditional policy Of
this country TO avoid. We have already spc-
cifcally refused to make such an arrangement
with Great Britain and France over these very
islands. as well as over Cuba. We were per-

CANAL PROBLEMS.

The necessity for a searching investigation
Of the canal Improvement work Is now con-
ceded in many quarters. and various sugges-
tions are offered rs to the best means OF getting
at the facts Controller Roberts thinks that the
Legislature Is too busy TO undertake the work
directly, and that in cooperation with the Gov
erpOr 1t should appoint commission OF hlgh
character to ascertain how the money has been
spent and what the completion OF the job VIII
cost We note with some surprise, however
that in the Controllers opinion such an inquiry
could not be finished in time to lay the results
before the people prior TO the next election.
Doubtless 1t would involve great deal of labor,
but Ii certainly seems as II n commission or the
right sort, with full power over persons and
papers, might get to the bottom Of the business
in a period Of six or seven months. Another
possibility Is presented in the action Of the
Chamber Of Commerce authorizing n committee
Of its own members to investigate and report.
Superintendent Aldrldge is quoted in approval
Of this plan but 1t is doubtful If the Legislature
will confer upon such an agency all the author
ity which it would require. One thing Is GER
tain. that any committee Of inquiry. however
designated. should be beyond suspicion Of per-
sonal or political bias. or Of any motive except
ing that of ascertaining and publishing the
whole truth.
The first duty Is TO learn all that can be
known about the work now in progress, but in
orr judgment IL is high time to consider the
whole question Of canal operation. Are the
canals as an old resident of the State declared
in The Tribune the other day. ont Of date? They
have been Of vast utility. but is IT true. or pos
siblc that the railroads have created conditions
which have already deprived them of great
part of their value and that the process Of rail
road development will inevitably lead to their
ultimate abandonment? Is it wise TO spend as
little as possible in anticipation of a time when
It will he determined that nothing ought to be
spent? Or does true economy require an i'm
mense outlay and expansion? We venture to
say that such questions as these cannot be an
swered offhand to the satisfaction Of a ma
jority of the people But they ought to be au-
thoritatively answered. in order that a con-
sistent canal policy may be deliberately adopt
ed and intelligently pursued.

before, other works have to close ana other
thousands are made idle. and the evil spreads
In that case prices have gone too low either
for the health Of the industry or for the good or
the consumer. Only the small margin between
a living profit and no profit is necessary TO re-
verse the movement. Prices Of iron and steel
products are now barely 3.5 per cent higher than
NJ the lowest point ever touched, and yet the
output is the greatest ever known. and has In
creased nearly 40 per cent since the enactment
OF the new tariff. So In other branches or Dus

creased purchases progress which Is to men

CRIMINALS BECOMING BOLDER.

The practice among burglars and hghwaymen
Of using torture to compel their victims 10 tell
where they may have hidden their money seems
to be on the increase. and thieves appear 10 ne
even more ready now with knife or pistol than
they were in former years. 1t is painfully evil
dent that murderous criminals now feel less fear
of punishment in many parts of the country
than they felt in the eighties or the early nine
ties These public enemies are encouraged 10
MAIN and TO mutilate to wound and 10 Kill. be-
cause too many of the policemen and the con
stables. the shrrilTs and other officers Of the
law IN cities townships and villages are slow
and stupid and because in a lamenable num-
her of instances the worst Of lawbrcakers are
not punished rs they deserve to be punished. In
almost every State of the Union the failures 10
nfict ADEQUATE penalties for the taking of
human life are frequent, and in the compara-
tiycly few cases in which murderers are finally
mt TO death the delays are usually so excessive
that lawbreakers are encouraged to defy the
statutes. Hosts OF lawyers in the United States
exhibit extreme ingenuity in protecting assas-
sins from the galows or the electric chair.
Durrant has just been put to death. but the
hAeous murders Of which he was guilty were
committed years ago. Is not the history Of the
rant type to pcrpetrate the most revolving of
vulanos: This wretch murdered two young
girls in n church, and his atrocious acts were
surrounded with every circumstance Of horror.
II is time for the Legislature of every State in
the Union to consider whether the laws cannot
be so amended that the grayest offences shall
be promptly and surely atoned for. In England
burglars and murderers and all enemies Of hui
manity whose guilt is clear get short shrft. In
most matters OF serious moment Americans are
no lacgards AS Il rule except in the punish
ment Of murderers. they are not sluggish or
ana thetjc But the methods in most Of the
col:rts In this country IN criminal proceedings
are a reproach to American civilization, when
ever wretches of the Durrant type are allowed
10 live for years after conviction. Is not the
lawyer who seeks by every unscrupulous device
OF trlckery to prolong lives which are justly
forfeit to the State a consclenceless rascal who
ought 10 be in cell? DO the people Of this Re
pubic intend that the use OF deadly weapons
and the taking OF life shall he regarded as so
trivial and vena that every tender consldera-
ton shall be shown 10 murdercrs and those
who attempt murder. that criminals shall he able
