ST. Helena and Suisun tragedies have
both been handled this way, and as
these two cases now stand the trials

accused men have both confessed their
crimes over their signatures, SO they
can't very well back out now.
But. consider, that when q man con-
fesses to a crime nowadays II is taken
by the lawyers and the fellows friends
TO be evidence of insanity. That plea
is invariably set up in such cases. But

The American agent Carleton, who is
hanging on to the skirts of the Moorish
court wherever it goes, until he wrings
from it an answer to the demand of our
Government preferred year ago, is
worthy of all commentator. He is
the kind of a man needed to bring for
eign petty princes to a realizing sense of
the dignity and Importance of the
United States. If the ignorant and
brutal Sultan of Morocco had his way,
we would have no response to our de-
mands in the next ten years, and our
cruiser now lying at Marragesti await
might rot in those hot waters before the
turbaned Moor would pay any attention
tc the demands of the United States.
Somehow we cannot resist the wish that
Commissioner Carleton may fail, and
that the commander of the gunboat
may be justified in turning loose a few
filed shells upon the white towers of
piratical Morocco. England has a
happy way Of dealing with such fellows
as the Sultan of the petty State. She
generally sends ship of war along with
her demand; first unlimbers her guns
and rigs on the lanyards, and then sends
the demand ashore, with polite inti-
nation that at a specified hour the
gunners, without further orders, are
under instructions to pull and let things
happen as they may thereafter. Inva-
riably Englands demands are respond
ed to. We can take lesson from the
mother country in this regard.

Hence as long as men hold to differ
those solicitous for the good of the race
that all men will ever agree-there will
be and must be party of some character
in government. People who think, and
in their administrators something more
than competency and honesty-sueh
they assuredly do want-but they will
have also those who reflect their belief
as ascertained by the majority rule,
concerning the policy of the State, its
attitude upon great questions affecting
its betterment or it's financial system, or
its codes of laws, etc.
Now public opinion is voiceless in
government except through organiza-
ton capable of expression, action, de-
fense and aggression. There we have
party again. Hence we have the not
unusual incident Of good men who abhor
incapacity and low moral status voting
often for the least capable man because
he represents the public opinion which
the voter believes is best to dominate
State policy.
This is partisanship in its raw shape,
it is true, but it seems to be inevita-
BILE. But not the majority of men are
called upon to make such choice. AS
a rule, the party organization declares
its stand for betterment, for moral con-
ditions and for economic admins tration.
1t is when its management falls into
evil hands, the control of men who are
all for self and gain, that party becomes
the vehicle of evil.
But this does not carry party con-
demnation. 1t simply proves misuse,
possible neglect of opportunity and duty
on the part of party men, or possibly
mere indifference, which, by the way,
sooner or later brings it's own correc-
tive. 1t is not possible to show, we
think, that non-partisan government
would not be subject to precisely the
same risks and evils. Indeed, if nom
partisan government means abandon
ment Of responsibility, leaving the ad-
ministrator free from any menace by
organization for misuse of his power.
then asuredly it will fail, as it generally
has done where there is no strong and
critical organization behind it. Usually
there is none, because the theory means
non-accountability to party. If 1t
does not mean that, then it implies
mere division Of spoils between men of
opposed party organizations, and that is
never any guarantee of wise, economic

SILVER PRODUCTION.
San Diego Union: There was a time

New York, Sept. 6.-A World dis
patch from London says:
Sir William MacCormick, president of
the Royal College of Surgeons of Eng
land, surgeon to the Prince of Wales,
and one of the most distinguished mem
bers of his profession in Europe, who
acted as surgeon to the Anglo-Ameri-
can Ambulance association in the
Franco-Germa war, was asked his
opinion concerning the causes of the
high mortality of the United States
troops. He said:
u have only very vague information
on the subject and it is one on which
no medical man could give an opinion
of the slightest value except upon pre-
else and exhaustive data.
THAT the mortality is high is un-
fortunately patent, especially when
compared to the Illness among our ex-
petitions to tropical countries,
But our experience in that respect
compares very favOrably with that of
all other countries. France suffered
terrible mortality from illness in NADIA
gascar-nothing l fancy in battle. Italy,
too, had serious lesses from the same
cause in Abyssinia-
In our expeditions to the west coast
of Africa. our losses from illness have
been trifiing.''
rs the west coast of Africa more
unhealthy than Cuba?" Sir William
was asked.
"Of course it is much more unheal-
thy" was the reply. There is no rea-
son that I can see why with proper
precautions mortality from illness
among the United States troops in
Cuba should have exceeded our NOR
tally from such couse on the west
coast of Africa.
Then again you will notice that the
force operating under the Sirdar in the
Soudan has enjoyed remarkable i'm
munity from Illness.

duty to decline to comply with this re-
quest so long as the national govern

splendid patriotism which prompted
their voluntary enlistment will sustain
them in any peril or hardship they may

they are to you. to whom the fortunes

Amsterdam, Sept. 6.-The events of
yesterday were but the overture for
far more important ceremonies today
upon the occasion of the Iong-awaited
enthroning of Queen Wilhelmina, who
Game of age on Aug. 81.
rAThe day began with salute of 101
guns, and majestic choral, performed
by trumpeters from the crenellated
towers of the five great churches of
Amsterdam
Crowds of people assembled early in
the morning and took up positions from
the Neukerk, an edifice that, in spite
of its name, is 400 years old.
BY 10 o'clock the Damplatz presented
q magnificent spectacle. The centre
was cleared and the sides were densely
thronged, the front plaees being re-
served for the children Of the orphan
ages. The multitudes were kept back
by lines of troops of all kinds. From
the principal gate OF the palace to the
church, between lines of naval cadets,
was stretched a gay awning, decorated
with streamers, and velvet carpeting
was laid over the short distance which
the queen had to traverse.
At 1885 the princely family of Sake
Weimar and Wied drove to the church,
escorted Dy cavalry Win DaIldS playing,
drums beating and the troops present
ing arms.
Almost Immediately afterwards the
queen mother appeared in a state
coach, which was surmounted by a gilt
royal crown upon a crimson cushion.
She received an ovation and was greet
ed with endless cheering and cries of
long live the queen mother"
About ten minutes later beating of
drums -signalled the fact that Queen
WflheImina had left the palace, and at
that very moment the sun burst from
the clouds in brilliancy, which was
looked upon as being a happy augury
for the young sovereign.
ROYAL PROCESSION.
The procession was headed by the
Akings- s-of-arms with the heralds in their
rTorgeous, antique costumes and bear
ing long trumpets, adorned with pend
ant flags. But all the splendor of the
royal retinue was overlooked by the
vast crowd of people, whose eyes were
turned upon the central figure of this
imposing procession-the young queen

all the emblems Of royalty. At her
