escapes OF other children from injury In
this manner. A colored child. almost an In
FAINT, was found dead under circumstances
that pointed to its mistreatment by q young
man in whose charge it was left. A man
was found drowned in the river and the
facts of the case have not yet been dis
closed. An aged man and his wife were
viciously assaulted by thief; the man was
killed and the wife wounded to the peril OF
her life. Fortunately the police have Sc
cured strong evidences pointing to tho
identity Of the criminal, and his arrest Is
confidently anticipated. The latest murder
Is inexpressibly dreadful in it's circum-
stances. 1t comes as a shock to the peace
able citizens to have such a tragedy enact
ed in the full light Of the day In one of
the citys public squares and virtually in
the presence Of throng Of people. The
murderer's confession should pave the way
to his prompt trial and punishment. There
Is apparently nothing in the case that war
rants delay. The quicker these matters
are settled the sooner the sad but neces-
sary lesson of warning will be given and
the more effective 1t becomes. Criminolo-
sists may seek to solve the mysteries of
these coincidental tragedies, and some may
attribute them to climatic factors. There is
probably no means of discovering the true
relationship of cause and effect in such
affairs.

A Platform of "Don't."
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal dem.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal (dem)
The annexation of Hawaii is as certain
to come as is the sun to rise. A few mis-
guided democrats continue to recalcitrate
for political effect They want to make
speeches and tell the country what they
think about the matter. as II the country
had not made up it's mind. and as IL the
country cared three straws what they
think about the question. These worthless
are arguing against all experience, all
science. all common sense. They are an
tagonizing the law of necessity and put
ting at defiance the conclusions of those
who have investigated the subject and
who have right to be heard They are
making Of themselves obstructionists and
ruisances under the delusion that they
are making a platform upon which the
democratic party will go to the country-a
platform OF stupid negatton. a platform Of
don't. This is not democracy, and il
democracy expects to achieve ascendency
1t must become. as Of old, a leading factor
in the nations life. 1t must abandon its
policy OF shadow-chasing and get in line
with public sentiment and become an ex-
ponent OF public desires and an advocate
OF public necessities.

plished without disaster, without resistance
on the part OF the enemy. The Spaniards
have rstreated over ridge after ridge with
out more than the show Of a struggle and
now comes the explanation that the Span
ish policy is to draw the invaders beyond
the range of the supporting fire from the
ships.
But thess moves do not mean that the
enemy will not fight when pressed. as yes
terday's engagement serves TO show. A
thousand Americans attacked twice as
many Spaniards. There Is some talk of the
enemy fighting In the brush, as in ambush
This suggestion may not be carried out by
the later reports. 1t Is evident that the
American forces knew the Spaniards were
In the position assailed. The fire from the
brush was mora deadly than any that had
been previously encountered by the advanc
Ing lines. 1t Is deplorable that men should
have been killed, but this is a war. 1t in
wolves the certainty of fatalities and the
capture of the southeastern stronghold of
Cuba will cost many lives. Much senti-
rental interest naturally attaches to the
fact that the trough riders" that unique
but apparently serviceable body of men
sembled under such a notable leadership.
were in the thick Of the fight and suffered
heavily, among the killed being a prom
trent society man. a member of a famous
metropolitan family.
From now on to tn. close of the war
these reports of casualties will be steadily
received, but the end can not be questioned.
The operations have thus far been con-
Quoted with remarkable skill and success
and unless the unforeseen occurs and acct
dents happen TO cripple the invading force
Santiago will be reduced in a brisfer period
than was at first considered possible.

The Time TnIkers.

Ihe debate in the Senate on the anpexa
tion OF Hawaii has now continued for one
week. II has been marked by an almost
exclusive occupation Of the aGor by the
opponents Of union. who. up to the BEGIN
ming OF today's session. had delivered three
complete speeches and started four others
IL Is interesting to note how Industrious
these users Of the Senate's time are in their
endeavors to stave of action on the Joint
resolution To enable the readers of The
Star to appreciate fully the course of this
pre- cess. the following tabular statement of
the approximate time thus far occupied by
the various speakers on the topic in set de-
hyeries Is given. not including the time
consumed in miscellaneous discussions more
or less associated with the central theme,
and not including today's performances:
Morrill, hour and 80 minutes.
Bacon-2 hours.
MITCHELL hour
White-3 hours and 40 minutes.
Pettigrew-3 hours and IS minutes
McEnery-2 hours.
Turley-l hour and Is minutes
Total-15 hours out of a total session of
- hours and % minutes.
MIR. Teller was the only senator to OCCUPY
the floor with an argument in favor of the
Joint resolution, and. in answer to certain
mis-s.atements Of one Of the Opposition
spe akers. he used 30 minutes Of the tine
with a series of forceful arguments that
upset fine-spun theory about the juris-
diction of Congress. The speeches Of Sena-
tors Morrill,. Bacon and Mitchell are pre-
sumabiy completed. Those of Senators
White. Pettigrew. McEnery and Turiey
were unfinished at the close of yesterdays
proceedings.

Mr. Cleveland md 1900.

Mr.. Livingston of Georgia agrees with
The Star. that If the democratic party is
to adopt the policy of anti-Hawaii and
anti-progress Mr.. Cleveland is its logical
leader. He likewise sees. as The Star does,
that Mr.. Cleveland. ever on the alert to
advance his own personal ends. Is already
alive to the situation. and has hopes. The
little band of white Is showing in the
widows bonnet There can be no doubt
about the matter. The weeds of private
life are. II possible. soon to be dropped.
The gorgeous colors Of leadership and pub
lie station still have their charm.
The New York Times, which since 1884
has been a consistent and slavish worshiper
of Mr.. Cleveland, seems now for the first
time to doubt his infallibihty. The Law
renceyil!e speech is not altogether clear
to the Times. 1t respectfully asks for par
ticulars- Bless the Times innocent soul!
Mr.. Cleveland has no particulars. He does
not deal in particulars. Generaiities and
vague and awful Nominations are his
strong suit. He leads no other cards.
In ths matter of tariff reform he led
with his famous free trade message. But
six years later, when the democracy being
again I'm power was called upon to revise
the tariff. Mr.. Cleveland was of no assist
ance In the matter of particulars. He could
only quarrel with his party friends in the
Senate. insult them with a personal letter
given to the press. and then sulk when
beaten. wipe his pen. and refuse to sign
the measure which they had drafted.
In the matter of Hawaii as originally
presented he not only had no particulars.
but he actually refused them Setting out
with fantastic notion that the monarchy
had been overthrown by a base conspiracy.
with the American minister to Hawaii at
its head. he resolved upon restoring the

ticuiars- They would hamper his genius
Besides. he would run some risk lust now
IN going further than merely this making

fellows to come out with their particulars.
What are Mr.. Bryan's particulars? What
Mr. Bailey's? What Mr.. Jones of Arkan-
