SAGASTA'S FALL.

There is no need for Americans to
politics that has resulted in the resig-
nation of Premier Sagasta. The peace
treaty is believed to be safe enough.
When that document was signed in
Paris the understanding was that the
Spanish cortes, by adopting the proto-
col, had given the queen full power
to conclude the final treaty and alien
ate whatever territory might be neces-
sary. In fact, ratification of the treaty
by the cortes is a superfluous act. de-
signed, some say, simply as a vote of
confidence in the ministry Whether
Sagasta returns to office or some sub
stitute in his place, the peace treaty
is, humanity speaking, certain to be
ratified. Spain desperately needs that
$40, 100000, and while a little political
sparring may be thought obligatory,
she may be expected finally to accept
the cash. But in case matters should
turn out otherwise, and we should re-
turn to a state of war, the United
States would simply hold on to what
ever territory it now possesses. and
might also make move upon the Car
dimes, which Spain is supposed to be
ready to sell to Germany. In any
event, Spain is utterly incapable of wag-
ing war; and she would lose that allur-
ing bag of $20,OOO,OOO The treaty of
peace is not of great consequence to the
United States. When the South Amer
lean states got away from Spain. she
refused to make a treaty. but CONNER
cial interests would make such a re-
fusal more Instantaneous and an
moving to her people now than it was in
tbesa other Instances

1t is very small business IL Congress-
man Barrows has been refused con-
firmation as librarian Of congress, be-
cause certain senators hope thus to
get even with his sponsor, Secretary
Long, for the fancied persecution of
Admiral Schley. 1t is no more cred
liable if confirmation has been refused
for partisan reasons. If the Massachu-
sets senator's and the Tenth district
are satisfied with Mr.. Barrows re-
publicanism, nobody else need bother
about it. If the senators question the
nominees fitness for the place, they
are showing sensitiveness in an entire
~ novel direction. They didn't display
this quality in any marked degree
while the census bill was under con-
sideration, but gave it up to the
spoilsmen without a whimper

THE GOVERNORS VETO.

As foreshadowed in The Spy last Mon
day, the legislature has passed over the
governors veto the bill restoring the
three days of grace for the payment
of sight drafts. This was dictated by
the strength of sentiment manifested
by the mercantile community. Almost
the only opponents of the measure were
bankers and lawyers. 1t weakens con-
fidence in the wisdom of the legislature
to find that what is done in one year
has to be undone in the next, and it is
unfortunate, too, that it should seem
necessary to obstruct the present move
ment towards uniformity of laws
among the various states But on the
other hand, it looks as if the real mis-
take was made when days of grace
We're abolished by other legislatures.
There is no sensible reason for allowing
this leeway for the payment of notes,
but the case is quite different in the
matter of sight drafts. These are Of
ten presented for payment before the
goods themselves arrive, and before the
~ N'Ae'''' iio7 hpo opportunity 70 III
spect them; in some instances even be-
fore he knows accurately the amount
of his bill or the quantity or quality of
goods sent him. Virtually, he has no
notification or opportunity to prepare
for payment till the draft is presented
The variety and amount of inconveni-
ence caused by such conditions need not
be described. The merchants demanded
a return to the former system, and they
have got it. Other states might pro-
mote uniformity by making a similar
change.

1t speaks well for the physical vigor
of the pope, that at his advanced age,
he should be able to undergo a surgical
operation and rally from it, as he is
reported to have done. He was eighty
nine years old yesterday. The opera
ton was the more trying because no
anesthetic was used, but that fact
made revival surer.

There is pardonable curiosity in
washington to see whether the other
reformers will allow Congressman
Walker an opportunity to tell why he
has not been able to reform the cur
rency. If congress has any time to
spend in the enjoyment of a scrap" it
could not invest it better than in a
speech by the honorable member from
Worcester. A cordial appreciation of
the controversial powers of the Gray
Eagle of the Quinsigamond is what
stimulates his rivals to deprive him of
chance to deliver his valedictory.

has been more efficiently cared for
than the navy. The number of pro-

the government put to the choice of
accepting old-style armor or building
an armor plant that will cost millions,
unless the steel companies will accept
contracts at unprecedentedly low
prices. One result of this policy will
be delay in construction.

1t Was Ordered.

In tho biography of Prince Bismarck
it is said that when he was minister at
st. Petersburg he was walking one
morning in the summer garden and met
the car, who invited him to join him.
Presently Bismarck noticed a sentry
stationed in the middle Of large grass
plot and asked the aid-de-camp. who in
turn inquired of the sentry.
ut is ordered" was his reply.
Every official gave the same answer
lit is ordered" but nobody knew w
whom. A sentry had always sto
guard in the middle of that innocel
grass plot. The archives We're searched
but in vain. At last an aged official
was found, who had been told by his
father that the Empress Catherine had
once seen snowdrop ready to bloom in
tho spot. and had ordered O sentry to
stand guard and allow no one to pluck
it. For more than century the watch
had been maintained because ut was
ordered. and no one had ever thought
of disobeying Or Of questioning the rea-
son of the order.

Julius Cesar,

Of all great conquerors, writes Marion

for he never sacrificed human life with.
out the direct intention of benefting
mankind by an increased social stabili-
ty. Of all great lawgivers. he was the
most wise and just. and the truths ,
set down in the Julian code are the
foundation of modern Justice Of all
great men who have leaped upon the
world as upon an unbroken horse, who
have guided it with relentless hands
and ridden it breathless to the goal of
glory. Caesar is the only one who turned
the race into the track of civilization
and. dying, left mankind a future in
the memory of his past. He is the one
great man of all without whom it is
impossible to imagine history. We can
not take him away and yet leave any
thing of what we have. The world

Napoleon. 1t could not have been the
world we know without Caius julius
