A SPARK WILL START WAR.

Not since the fleets OF the powers as
sembled before Constantlnople have the
war clouds been SO dark as they are to-
day. Within a very short time all the
great powers, including the United
States. may be embroiled in a conflict,
and the singular part of it is that for
the first time in the history OF the world
will the whole campaign be fought out
upon the seas.
The United States has most patiently
forborne To be tempted into a conflict
with Spain, but ii may be forced upon
US In sheer defense OF the rights OF
Americans in Cuba. The condition
there is most ominous. While many of
the Cubans are said to be accepting
autonomy and surrendering their
ing spirit of disloyalty. The discipline
maintained so strictly by Weyler has
either been relaxed by Blanco, or the
policy of Cancellation has irritated the
soldiers who are weary of barraek life
under the miserable conditions existing
In Cuba and desire to provoke active
warfare. Havana has so far been free
from any disturbances Of a serious
character and American interests
which arc centered there have not been
in jeopardy. Should there be any out
break 1t would become a very serious
matter, and the lives and property of
American citizens would be sacrificed
to that animosity on the part of the
Spaniards which has so often found ex-
preston.
AT the first sign of danger ii would
be necessary for our feet to enter the
harbor and turn the guns upon the city.
Spanish public opinion would compel the
government to resent this. a popular
wave would sweep this country in favor
of resistance. and only a miracle could
save us from being involved in war.
The conflict would be short, but it would
be very severe. for the best vessels of
both powers would be engaged.

Wo Chang has written a book en-
titled. England Seen Through Chinese
Spectacles.'' in which he scathes the
great Christian nation by contrasting
1t with his own. Some of the faults of
English social life are TO be found in
other countries, and there are lessons
to be learned from the Chinaman's criti
cism elsewhere than in England
In the main, however, these faults
and vices have been as unsparlngly
satirized by English poets and phiioso-
piers. It has been done with far great
er literary skill and keener wit. The
chief interest lies in the nationality of
the critic and in the claims of superior
ity made by him for his own people In
the United States we have become more
familiar with Cinnamon than the En-
glish have. and II VIII not only amuse.
but interest. us TO discover how mis-
taken we have been In our estimate of
him.
Wo Chang is very severe uron the
English children. who show no respect
for their parents. The father Is nick
named "guv'nor." and the mother is
called "the mater" He declares that
English social life is honeycombed with
corruption, and that 1t is due TO the
total lack OF reverence for the institu-
ton OF the family and the lack OF wise
domestic management. In China, he
says. children are punished for neglect
of parents, while in England parents
are punished for neglect of children.
The absence of discipline he also con-
dennis. He does not. but he might have
aptly told the story related by mis-
sionary few years ago. He saw an
old woman with a switch whipping her
son. about 10 years OF age. The China
man shed tears when she went into the
house. What a BOBBY you must be 70
cry, YOU a fGll-grown man." said the
missionary. All" replied the China
man. Il do not weep for the beating.
but because IL vas so feeble. am re-
minded that my mother Is getting very

The Chinese critic observed that
woman Was punished for attempting To
commit suicide. She had bad has
hand. and he remarks that the wife IS
punished. but the husband gets OF scot
free. His galiantry is also hart hy the

The story emanating from Victoria that
all persons desiring TO take up and work
claims In the Northwest territory must
go to that city or Vancouver for
miners certificates is still being per-
sistently and systematically circulated.
Ii is pure fiction. The certificates
may be issued by inspectors Of mount
ed police or gold commissioners. There
are at least three inspectors in the
Northwest territory. Inspector Wood has
his temporary headquarters at Skaguay
Alaska). Inspector Strickland is ct Lake
Tagish. and there is another inspector az
Dawson. Besides. the headquarters OF
Gold Commissioner Foster Is at Dawson.

sary to explode this cheap Canadian
falsehood, for which the Colonist, as
usual, is responsible.

We shall withhold our applause from
the Lincoln county Populists who take
their stand against the immoral policy Of
fusion until we learn whether the forth
coming conventions shall consider II their
duty TO follow in the path thus outlined.
The Populists of Whitman have raised
their voices in favor of a similar course.
and il has been too readily announced
that there will in these counties be 10
fusion. We shall sec what We shall see.
1t looks like cold-blooded bluff to fright
en- timorous Democrats and silver Repuh-
licans into concessions by which union
shall be accomplished and the thrifty
Populists secure all the offices. The Pop
ulists as a body are mighty strong for
principle, and the leaders as a class are
mighty strong for Office. The party has
shown remarkable aptness in the gentle
art OF being led around by the nose by
self-seekins place hunters. and we think
we discover evidence OF pretty politics in
the two Eastern Washington conventions.
