In his speech at the Chicago peace
jubilee banquet last week Captain Sigs-
bee of the hattlesnip Texas, formerly
the captain of it's sister battleship the
Inflated Maine, knocked to pieces the
popular impression that Remember the
Maine was the signal displayed by the
vessels in the United States navy DUR
ing the war with Spain whenever there
came a time for action. He said that
there was a general belief among the
people of this country that the signal
referred to was flying at the masthead
of every flagship when going into ac-
ton, But" said he, lit is absolutely
untrue. No vessel in any fleet or squad
ron of the United States has gone into
this war flying the official signal Re
member the Name and /. as captain
of the Maine, glory in it. A nation may
go to war to punish, but never to re-
venge-not this nation" The fact can
not be ignored that the army and navy
of the United States did remember the
Maine and that it was the constant
watchword afioat and ashore, and that
the enemy was given a chance to re-
member it, but it is well perhaps that
the popular impression in regard to the
signal has been corrected. And while
on this subject. it is an opportune time
to state that the joking way in which
Remember the Maine is now being
used on the stage, and in the streets
is we'll nigh sacrilegious and it is sad
commentary upon a mans patriotism
when he uses the words in a Jest. The
lost battleship Maine, and the several
hundred heroes who died on duty fill
too sacred grave in the hearts of the
people to be mentioned in jest.

we do in the hospital at Portland but

chance for the boys who are studying

should be run in cooperation with the

larger institution in the future 1t is a
crying need for the success of the
school and will ensure its remaining in

one has suggested that it be moved TO

established there, but that will never
be done. There are several moneyed
men who are now thinking of inserting
in their wills clause to establish this
hospital. but why wait till they are
dead?"

To sum up The whole matter Eng
land has the navy and France has the
army. OF course England has the
greater resources in men, money and
all else necessary to wage successful
war. Moreover, she has peace and
harmony at home, something in which
France is sadly lacking, and in hun
dred ways would be far superior TO
France. OF course it is likely that in
case war does result that allies of both
countries may be ultimately involved.
Russia has always been a strong ally
of France and may decided to take a
hand in matters, while on the other
hand Japan will side with England.
Then there is Germany to take into
account, and nobody knows how many
other countries. Certain it is if war
does come, it will be one of the might
est struggles in history, and 1t is
equally sure that the English will win.

CRIME IN PARIS.

A recent letter from Paris was in structive if not encouraging. It com mented upon the fortnight devoted to the Zola trial and cited cases of mur- der that had been heard and disposed of during the time the novelist was on trial for springing to the rescue of a man who had been wrongly sentenced to brutal imprisonment for life.
 During the two weeks nineteen per sons were tried for murder Of that number eight were acquitted, one sen- fenced to twenty years in prison, two for ten years, one for eight years, one for one year, one for six months, and two for life.
 As the letter naively concludes, "it is discreeter in Paris to commit mur- der than it is to criticise the army" French justice as dealt out is not such serious matter, unless the offense charged against a man has to do with political matters

DEFENDING THE POPE.
(FrOm the London MailO

tF IOuI lu0 Mdll.)
 The Pope's private audiences have been reduced in number The indiv1d- uals who have been accorded this hon. or have been requested by the ponti- fcal chamberlains to cooperate in causing as little fatigue as possible to his Holiness. The Pope himself good humoredly submits to the prescrip- tions.
 Latterly a French Bishop, on his vis- it ad limina, on receiving notice of his audience, was requested not to pro- tract the same beyond a given number of minutes. On the morning of the re- ception the domestic prelate warned the Bishop that he would give him a signal, when it would be time for him to request the apostolic benediction and take his departure. The Bishop was led to the throne room and the au- dience commenced.
 The minutes quickly poosod, ord the domestic prelate at length gave the sig nal for the Bishop to retire. His lord ship, however, thought he had not yet had reasonable interview, and paid no heed. The prelate, after few min utes, repeated the signal, but per ceiving that his efforts were unavail- ing, walked quietly to the side door, and in a moment returned at the head of four chamberians, who had with them two red poles. Fastening these to the sides of the throne, they camly raised it and carried the Pope bodily from the reception room.
 The French Bishop remained mute with astonishment. Then he rose from his knees and took his departure, not without gesticulating.

A MURDER PROBLEM.

The Charleston News and Courier, one of the stiffest states right newspa- pers in the country, is now advocating federal interference in affairs in South Carolina. The News and Courier has consistently called upon the federal authorities to set in motion it's legal machinery for the purpose of arrest ing and punishing the mob murder CTS of the postmaster at Lake City. The Charleston paper frankly admits that 'the state and local authorities are powerless to punish crimes Of this sort" that mo lynching party has even been punished in this state," and that "it is the governments business to see that the murderers of one of its servants and agents, killed in the dis charge of his duty, should receive pun ishment beftting the crime, if their guilt can be proved"
 We do not believe that it is any more the duty of the federal govern ment to take hand in the matter of the murder of the South Carolina post master than it would have been if the murdered postmaster had killed an- other man. The offence of murder was committed aginst the laws of the state and makes the state responsible.
 If the agents of the court do not do their duty then the state is to be pit jed. The national government, how ever, has a case against the men who destroyed the ostoffice-governmen property brought about the de- struction of the mail matter there de- posted. The national government, upon strict construction of the law, has only to do with an Offense com mitted in violation of the laws regu- lating the postoffice department.
 When the News and Courier is will ing to waive any claim for the full exercise of state rights the situation is indeed serious. It is an admission that law and order do not exist in the state, that the legal authorities are incompetent, that murder is no crime in the eyes of the authori ties, that no mans life is safe if the mob sees fit to blot it out. The state alone is responsible for the Lake City crime, so far as the murder is to be considered, and it fails to do its duty so long as no attempt to detect and punish the murderers is made. At the same time we are encouraged by the attitude of the News and Courier at this time It is not always right, and it is too often strictly local and prov incial in it's views. Now, however, it has come to admit that there are times when the national government should take a hand in state affairs. If the state cannot act and will not act the federal government might probably step in and see what it could do. In that event there would be a clamor from other sections that the rights of the state were being set aside.
