Spanish justice and honorr,'
Where did the President find it: Was
it in the repeated hideous torture of
poor DR.. Ruiz, and his final clubbing
to death in a lOathsome jail? Was it
eXemplified in tying an American
newspaper correspondent to a tree and
chopping him peacemeaI with mach
etes? Was ii seer in the plaza of
Artemesa, where Spanish troops, with
the ''sense of Justice of the Spanish
nation, held up ten little babies by
the legs. before the eyes of their
wretched %shrieking mothers, and slic-
ed them in halves? Is it illustrated
in the cold blOOded and deliberate
murder of four hundred thousand
peaceful peasants? Or do we discover
it in the joy with which all classes of
Spaniards have greeted the Spanish
victory of Havana harbor. when our
warship was blown up and 266 Amer
can sailors and soldiers a~trociously
massacred?

Judge Campbell, OF San Francisco,
has recently decided that the cat has
no legal standing as a domestic ami
NAL and cannot be reckoned as prop
erty. We are not informed of the CIR
cumstances under which the case vas
brought, but the decision. if it stands.
will be of far reaching import and "a
profound blessing to humanity. 1t
means, if We understand it. when YOU
are reused from peaceful slumbers by
the hOwlings of a feline fiend under
your window, that you need not hesi-
tate. out Of consideration for the
property rights of your next neighbor
who fondly calls that cat his own. but
may open upon it with your Maxim

or what you will, in the calm assur-
ance that he can dc nothing in retail
alton but Swear at you-and shoot
your !:ife's cat if she has one.

Blanco has convinced himself that
Spain is a lion and America a pic.
When it is a test of skill. however. il
is certain the pig will root the lion
out of Cuba. In generaIship and ring
tactics the former is far ahead of the
latter Advancing or retreating, halt
ing in ambush or shying off the road.
the pig has no equal in the geological
world. Taking an ordinary island as
a basing point. it may safely be as
serted that one pig can plan and exc
cute more kinds and quantities of
damage, and have more strikeouts to
his credit. than all the lions in the
Spanish menagerie. The pig is the
katahdin of the brute creation. He
can unsod more front yards. despoil
more currant bushes, upset more gates
and shed more clods and brickbats
than any other quadrupid on earth,
and through it all he will smile and
smile and preserve the most provok-
ing equipoise. 1t will be IA sad day
and date for the Spanish beast when
it meets up with the North American
h~aZel-splitter and terror of the range.
