Spanish Conscience.
q Iianes

Spanish deserters are met with at
all ports on the coast of Morocco.
They are convicts who have made
their escape from presidoes. Upon
leaving the convict establishments,
they adopt the Mohammedan religion
and usually pass the rest of their days
TRANQUILITY among the Moors. One rem
egade, a stonemason, whom traveller
found at work. was not at all distin-
guishable from the Moors, being
dressed in precisely the same fashion.
The few words in conversation with
him were characteristic.
How long have you escaped?'
more than twenty years"
do you like this country and the
Moors?'
Better in Marruecos than Spain. ("
shall you ever attempt to return to
Spain?"
"Why leave here where have all
want? Besides, they would stretch
my neck for sending a fellew out Of
this world without previously having
had an interview with his nfessor. /"
"Are you conscience-stricken?

STATE RAILROAD CoMM1ss1oNs.-The
twenty-three States of the Union
that have railroad commissions pay
in the aggregate for the luxury about
$270, 900, which is out of all proper
ton to their utility. The railroad
commissioners are usually politicians
who are quartered on the State, rep.
resenting a feeling of antipathy and
suspicion towards railroads once very
prevalent but now on the wane. In
some States they are mere "strikers, u
and use their powers to advance pc.
litical projects. Their salaries and
expenses represent, as q rule, mere
waste of public moneys. The hun
dreds of trusts and combinations Of
manufacturers and dealers that now
exist have attracted the odium that
was formerly concentrated on the
railroads, but they are not SO easily
got at, and so they go scot Free

The Constitutional Convention.

Shreveport Journal: The Conven.
ton has been a failure in every par
ticular, and this is but another of it's
absurdities.
Catahoula News: Who says there
will not be q demand for another
Convention to make q new constitu-
ton following the election in April
1900?
N. O. Picayune: There is a wide
spread, popular belief that a great
deal of political trading has been
done in the Convention, and expires.
sions to that effect are numerous, il
not general.
N. o. Times Democrat: There are
many provisions in our present Con.
stitution that do not belong there.
It is a bulky document, far larger
than previous Constitutions of the
State, and the law now being framed
by the Convention promises to be even
bulkier, containing many provisions
that could have been better left to the
Legislature and the Courts.
Mansfield Journal: The Conven
ton is working, and has worked al
along, on the line of factional politics
It is not working for the good o.
the State or for the welfare of The
Democratic party, though it claims tt
be doing SO. As political gathering
the Convention has been q success
but as body to frame the organic
law Of great State it has not met
the expectations and wishes of thu
people.

Spain as q Sea Power.

If Spain should prove effective now
on sea, she would reverse her record
for more than three hundred years.
Not since the battle of Lepanto, when
joined with the Venetians and the
Genoese, she overcame the Turkish
fleet, has Spain won a fight with any
other nation at sea. It has deem
three hundred and ten years since
Francis Drake annihilated what the
storm had left of the Invencible Ar
mazda. Nelson struck Spain another
terrific blow when he met the CON-
bined Spanish fleets at Trafalgar.
Since that time there have been sew
eral striking instances of Spanish in
competency in naval warfare, the
most notable being that which was
shown in her expeditions against Peru
in 1866, on account of alleged mis-
treatment of some Spasish subjects.
The Spanish squadron on that expe-
dition consisted of seven vessels,
mounting twenty seven guns, and to
oppose it the Peruvians borrowed
three crafts from Chile, one vessel
carrying forty-two smooth bores, one
a small one-gun monitor, and the
third diminutive Merrimac, carry.
ing two guns.
The result of the engagement was
the utter discontinue of the Span.
iards. The Esmeralda captured q
Spanish gunboat in twenty minutes
without the loss of man, whereupon
the Spanish admiral, retired to his
cabin and blew ont his brains. His
successor retired and took vengeance
out OF Chile by bombarding defence.

Spain is . dilapidated condition. II
is believed by experts that to-day the
Spanish navy is as highly deficient in
gunnery as for two centuries past,
and it is as true in modern warfare az
in the old wooden ships, that in action
all depends upon the man behind
the gun.
In comparing the relative strength
OF our navy with that of Spain The
difference between the two nations
is . big factor to be taken into &C.
