SUFFICIENTLY PUNISHED.

The application which has just been
ency to the young men Of the Fifteenth
Minnesota who foolishIy engaged in that
demonstration against q murderous sa-
loonkeeper down In Augusta, Ca, ought
to be followed by speedy success. The
considerations advanced by Senator Da-
Wis are such as must appeal to the COM
mon sense and humanity Of the situation.
These young men were new to the mil
itary harness. They were still animated
by the feelings and sentiments of civil
life. Some of them had witnessed the
murder In cold blood of one Of their num-
Der. The crime was committed away
from their homes. They were in a meas
ure conscious that they would never see
the law indicated as against the muir
derer. They knew they were likely to be
ordered away at an hours notice, leaving
the body Of their dead comrade, and the
crime committed against society in his
murder, to be disposed of without any
hope that the law would be INDICATED.
They allowed their outraged feelings to
assert themselves, forgot their duty as
soldiers, and engaged In an undertaking
which would not have entered the mind Of
one of them under normal conditions.
AS Senator Davis points out, the crime
thus committed by the imprisoned SOL
diers was a grave one. 1t merited Sc
rous punishment. But no one would re-
gard any such punishment as that i'm
posed by military authority as merely
commensurate to the offense. No harm
was done, as matter of fact, aside from
the breach of military discipline involv-
ed. Even that has been already severely
punished. The disgrace which has fallen
on these young men as the result Of
their folly is the severest punishment that
could be meted out to them. No term Of
imprisonment, however prolonged could
operate more seriously on their future
than the recollection that In moment
Of frenzy. occasioned by the death of a
N"AAN they SdC-
rificed all the honor which rightfuIIy be-
longed to them as the result of their
prompt response to the call of their coun-
try for soldiers to fight the battle of a
prosecuted and enslaved people.
All traces of Spanish dominion are
brought to an end on this hemisphere.
Cubans and Americans alike are return
ing to the ways of peace and civil or
der. All the regiments of citizen SOL
diery which were organized to fight for
Cuban liberation have long been dis
banded. The outbreak at Augusta was
a mere passing incident in the great
drama Of war, which has already been
brought to a close save in the Philippines.
The sooner that incident Is closed and
forgotten the better for ALL The brutal
saloonkeeper who committed the wanton
and bloody crime which excited these
young men to an act Of supreme folIy
has been acquitted and is in the enjoyment
of his liberty. IT seems little less than
a travesty on justice to subject them to
any further punishment in view of this
and all the other circumstances attend
ant on this unfortunate event

Humpty Dumpty', at the Metropolitan
last night delighted another audience and
proved that the powers of the famous old
-pantomime to draw and amuse the
American public are if anything, greater
than ever. The Introduction OF modern
inventions andFappliances in mechanical
and electrical effects, and the tnterpola-
ton of some clever vaudeville, has i'm
proved the Humpty Dumpty of old, and
brought it completely up to date in every
respect. The performance is one especial
ly pleasing to the children, and the little
ones go into ecstasy over the trials and
fluctuations and comical doings of Clown,
Pantaloon, Harlequin and CoIumbine The
matinee tomorrow afternoon will be play
ed at popular prices, to give the young
