SOUTH AMERICAN OPINION OF
THE UNITED STATES.

Samuel p. Craver, D. D.. Superintend-
ent of the Methodist Episcopal Mission
in Paraguay, says in the Independent:
During the war between Spain and
the United States it was not a difficult
matter to ascertain the drift of public
opinion. The press was very outspok-
en-, and generally very unfriendly to
the Americans in that conflict During
the first few weeks it was almost i'm
possible to find newspaper that openly
and decidedly defended the attitude Of
our country. On the contrary, there
were numerous periodicals that entered
with wild enthusiasm into the task of
setting forth the wrongs suffered by
Spain, the coarseness, the brutality, and
sordid ambition of the Americans, and
the probability of European intervent-
ion in behalf of Spain. Indeed, the
few who sympathized with the
yankees" were afraid openly to ex-
press their minds
As the war proceeded and victory
after victory was won by our forces,
and especially as the generous treat
ment awarded the vanquished became
known, the tone of the press began to
change. The fighting power If the
American navy, as well as the bravery
exhibited by the army in the campaign
of Santiago, We're revelations to the in
habitants of these countries. They
found it difficult to understand how a

people devoted so thoroughly to the
| tary prowess.
But is must not be supposed because
the attitude Of the press was greatly
modified that the people became enam-
CURED OF the United states. They learn
ed 10 appreciate the great power OIL our
nation, and we were convinced That we

| charge of thirst for conquest was re-
peated, and the attitude of our govern
ment towards the PHILIPPINES has been
such as to confirm the people In the con-
vlction that humanity" was cheap
talk, and that beyond the help to the
| Cubans was the thirst for territory.
The sad spectacle Of the greatest repub-
| lie on earth, the model and hopes of all
American republics, the propounder and
defender of the principle that AL Just
government derives its authority from
| the consent of the governed" now en-
gagged in war on the other side of the
| globe to subject an alien people to Its
| domain-this sad spectacle has done
much to curl the lip of scorn and en-
phasize the epithet of "hypocrites.
The plea so commonly made in juSti-
fication of the policy of expansion, that
the PHILIPPINES are not able to govern
themselves, and that we can do much
better for them than they can possibly
do for themselves, does not have much
force in these countries, some of which,
when they obtained their independence
from Spain, were but little, if any, in
advance of the Philippines. They have
had their turbulent periods, and still
are far from realizing an ideal govern
ment, but they have no desire to have
the United States take charge Of their
countries and give them, as they doubt
less could, better government. The
more intelligent leaders of public opin-
ion in these countries are not ignorant

United States in our II eatment of the

templated as a CHASTITY commentary on
the humanitarian" warfare being
waged against people fighting for the
right to govern themselves. No crude,
unprepared half-civilized people that
has thrown off the Spanish yoke has
ever tolerated under it's unstable and
revolutionary governments such bar
barities as are to-day practised in the
South.
Is 1t, therefore, to be wondered at
that the expansion policy Of the United
States to-day does not excite nor inspire
high hopes for the future among South
Americans? They look upon it with
alarm.

SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST JUDGE TREADWELL
IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
THREATENED.
Owl Drug Company Claims That He
Is Responsible for the Escape of
James 81. Barnett, a De-
faulting Clerk.

Serious charges have been preferred
against Police Judge Treadwell by the Owl
DruS company, and instructions have
oeen given by the managers of the con-
Germ TO its attorneys, Stratton & Kauf-
man. to begin Impeachment proceedings
against him. The specific charge is that
Ireadwell is responsible for the release of
James H. Barnett, a clerk employed by
the drug company. who was arrested in
september last on a charge of petty lar
ceny. 1t was alleged the prisoner. by his
own confession, had misappropriated ed
over a thousand dollars during a pc
riod of eight months This amount had
been stolen in sums of two and three dol
lars daily.
On Barnett presenting a satisfactory
pond In the sum of $500 he was released by
Judge Conlan. On October is he was re-
arrested on the charge Of misdemeanor
embezZlement and brought before Judge
lreadWell. The defendants attorney con-
tended that the charge Of petty larceny
should be dropped and the case brought to
trial on the latter charge Of misdemeanor
emDeZzlement, but the attorneys for the
0wi .i Drug Company refused request TO
that effect. Thereupon Judge Treadwell
released the prisoner on $50 cash bail. af-
Ter generating the former bond of $500
Finally Judge Treadwell released the pris-
oner on his own recogniZance and on Oc-
tober - the cash security was duly drawn
down by the defendant The case was set
for trial before Judge Treadwell for No
Nember p. but in the meantime Barnett
had quietly left the city.
X. T.. Miller, manager of the Owl com
panY, is highly indignant at the action OF
judge Treadwell in releasing Barnett.
There was a clear case against Bar
nett said Mr.. Miller last night "and
Judge Treadwell's release Of his bail and
the substitution of recognizance is ques-

note Of the fact had not been made on

the court and discovered that John VIII

to pay fine OF 800. with the alternative
OF twenty days. for discharging firearms
within the city limits on November Is. A
commitment was sent TO the prison. Will

friend having called and paid his fine TO
Sergeant Lindheimer. but the commit
ment was not destroyed.
John Williams, a white man charged
with Vagrancy, had been arrested the day
before and his case was continued for a
week. When the County Jail van came
In the afternoon for prisoners, the col
ored Williams had been released and the
white Williams was sent in the van on
the commitment for twenty days of the
colored Williams.
Williams, the vagrant, will be brought
from the County Jail tomorrow to stand
