December second has an interesting
story of Casper Cadogan, lieutenant
who was In the charge up San Juan
Hill. The lieutenant hims elf is not a
pleasant character, indeed is one of
the few men who were found wanting
that grim day. but the account of the
rush up San Juan Hill is full OF dust
and flashes, roars and the smell OF
smoke, of the cries of men, the rush OF
their feet and the snaps of their eager
shots. Mr.. Crane has certainly a
great power of writing when he de-
scribes the soldier in battle.

An Impotent Coroner's Jury.

\ CurJpers jury in New York has just
rendered i verdict to the effect that no
blame Is TO be placed anywhere for the
Windsor Hotel horror. No light is shed
upon the probable origin of The fire. or upon
the reason Why it spread with such re-
markabie rapidity. or upon the cause of
the utter decentralization which prevailed in
the hotel, or upon The chance Of preventing
Similar outbreaks in other large hostelries
Constructed with the same disregard for
the safety of human life. As far as this
procedure goes the tragedy is permitted TO
slip into the record as a mystery unpro-
ductive Of the warning benefits which some
times spring from great disasters. The
function Of a cOroner's jury in such cases is
TO place the responsibility for a calamity
II is no excuse for inaction to declare that
the responsibility is divided. The commu-
nifty demands that steps be taken both to
punish for neglect and to prevent repeti-
ti1n>- The entire country is concerned in
such cases. Hotels in large centers such as
New York are patronized by people from
OUT IF town more than 10y residents 1t is
70 b- hoped that some other legal or mu-
Alcip.u process is now at work to explain
the mystery and to apply the lessons which
the nre teaches II is notorious that other
great hotels still III service in New York
and other cities are as bad in their con-
siTucti, II as Was the Windsor, and that the
danger Of disaster in them is equally as
great The corJner's jury has offered no
guarantee THAI these human hives will not
in turn be burned with some Of their oc-
cupants- Nor is II to he expected that
managers and owners will voluntarily go
TO the large expense Of reconstruction or
RECRUITMENT if they are not prodded by
authoritative warnings or by the fear of
punishment. What with the cupidity of the
capitalists who own and manage the hotels
ana the sl"th or dishonesty or inefiiciency
a the officials entrusted with the charge of
such matters, conditions are allowed to
gather which eventually produce a horror
She Coroner's inquest Under such circum-
stances is worse than useless if 1t does not
help 10 insure against repetitions of the
calamity.

Two Noble Figures.

Two figures In these latest Georgia TRACE
dies-and. alas, only twoi-stand out con-
spicuOusiy for all that Is noble. and re-
deeming and hopeful in human nature.
While the mob howled for blood and savage
torture. two voices were lifted for law and
Justice Lifted in vain but with courage
which all men should remember with graft
tude and admiration
Ex-Ciov. Atkinson met the mob having
Sam Hose in charge. He knew the story
of the negro's fiendish crime. He is a
Georgian. with pride in his state and love
for its people. He has been honored by
them with the highest office in their gift.
The sacredness and security Of the home
are as dear to him as to any other man In
the commonwealth. But he spoke for law
and order He knew that the courts were
competent to deal with the case and could
be trusted to do so. He protested with
energy against the hideous purposes of the
mob. He could do no more. He was one
man against three thousand-one man
speaking clearly and with sense of re-
spOnsibiIity to conscience and to civiliza-
tOn. in parley with three thousand men
who in their frenzy were about to lower
themselves to the level of the brute they
held as prisoner.
Major Thomas. an ex-confederate soldier
and d gentleman of assured position, came
forward to plead for the life of the negro
Strickland. who stood accused only upon
the unsupported word Of Sam Hose. Here
was the old and the real southern gentle
man at his best. Strickland was his tenant.
He knew him well and believed in him.
And being a gentleman he championed him
in the face of all the mOb's fury. He could
do no more. His own life has been threat
ened. And some creature may pick him off
from ambush, or hamstring his cattle. or
burn his barn and stables by night. But it
Is safe 10 say that not one of the cowardly
fiends who tortured and strung up the help
less negro. who died protesting his inno-
Cence could be brought to face in daylight
with threatening gestures this white man
who hOnOrs his race.
There We're TWO. The number will in
crease. The Atkinsons and the Thomases
Of Georgia and the Brawleys of South Ca
roliua are assurances against despair.

Governors Appointments.

The effect OF Governor Stones aDDoint-
nent Of MIR. Quay as senator to succeed
himself despite the plain reading of the
Senate's established precedents and the
COmmOn-senSe Of the situation is to be seen
IN the announcement by Governor Gage of
California that he has appointed Mr.. Burns
TO succeed Senator White. II may be that
when the Senate meets in December sini-
larry appointed candidates for seats will
present themselves from Utah and Della
ware II Mr.. Quay is seated for personal
and perhaps for political reasons the other
three must likewise be seated. for il would
be IN the highest degree dangerous for the
Senate to draw determinations in behalf of
Individuals in the face of the precisely SINH
lar conditions surrounding each
Should all four governors thus appoint
and should all Of the appointees be admit
ted the republicans would effect a net gain
OF two votes This would not consequent
TALLY increase their majority. nor would il
give them two-thirds of the Senate on a
strict party division. Practically nothing is
TO be gained By thus breaking the prece-
dents No pressing exigenctes exist TO de-
mand the seating Of four applicants with
Questionable credentials. No vital issues
are in the balance which may be decided by
tbe votes thus admitted. No public interest

1gislative deadlocks
1t is highly undesirable that the selection
D senators be placed in the hands of the
governors Occasionally instances arise
when this method of selection is unavoid-
able Deaths and designations sometimes
occur in recess Of legislatures when II is to
the interest of the states concerned to COM
plete their senatorial representation with
out delay. The laws wisely provide for
such emergencies. But nothing in the Con-
stitution or in the statutes warrants the
usurpation by the governor of the privilege
Of choice after the Legislature has failed or
neglected to elect.

offenses against morality and deceney
which are daily punished by sentences to
the werkhouse. 1t Is easy to see that JUS
tice Is inesuch cases somewhat embarrassed
by her blindness. Her scales cannot ac-
curately weigh all the little matters which
are occasionally put into the pans. The
Star has heretofore urged that some place
OF detention should be provided different
from the Jail and the workhoIse, where
people who are guilty of slight infractions
OF the municipal laws which do not involve
any degree of moral turpftude may be held
pending or in default of the payment of a
fine Such place need not be revolving
to afford a punishment. 1t need not throw
men and perhaps women and children into
unclean associations to enforce the dignity
of the laws and the regulations 1t could
have varied uses, such as the detention Of
witnesses, of suspects and of prisoners
waiting for collateral which is certain to
be Forthcoming. Every large city has this
margin of semf-criminal cases which fit
neither the jail nor the workhouse, and
Washington is assuredly large enough now
to be equipped with the means of caring
properly and decently for them.

From the Charleston IS c. News and Courier.
No one doubts that Baker and his baby
were killed at Lake City and their BODIES
burned in his house, which was set fire
by the mob; that his wife was shot and one
of his children, and we do not think there
is a man who heard or read the testimony
in the case, that there was a single member
of the jury. who doubted that some of the
men on trial took part In the horrible atroc-
ity at Lake City. The only thing that
stood between them and the punishment
provided by law was political and race
prejudice. 1t is true. why not say so? If
the politics and complexion Of the actors in
the tragedy had been different, the Jury
would have brought in a verdict of guilty
without leaving their seats. All the evil
dence was one way, and against the de-
PENDANTS, but the evidence had nothing to
do with the failure of the jury to act. That
was influenced by considerations apart from
the testimony in the case. No one ex-
pected that the jury would find a verdict of
guilty, it would not have been surprising
had the jury found verdict of not guilty
its failure to agree to a verdict must be
regarded as a distinct advance In public
thought and conscience. Five white men
out of twelve in South Carolina holding %
the end for the administration of justice.
according to the evidence, is triumph for
order and a promise of better things in the
future.
Justice will not be done until the Lake
City lynchers are punished.

irritate the differences in parties rather
than heal them. They encourage small
groups in close legislatures to precipitate
deadlocks with the assurance of an execu-
tive appointment following the final ad-
journment. They place an unwarranted
power in the hands of a few people. They
defeat the purpose of the provision of the
Constitution prescribing the choice of sena-
tors by legislatures.
The three states which were deprived of
fun senatorial representation IN 1898 prof
tied by their loss and have not since re-
peated the folly of relying upon executive
appointments. 1t may be that If the same
rebuke be given by the Senate at the next
session to the four states which, defytng
the Constitution and the precedents, have
neglected paramount duty, the lesson will
be learned by them too and that there will
be no further deadlocks. The only sure
cure for the deadlock evil, however, is the
amendment of the Constitution on the sub
ject of the method of e1ecting senator's. and
every governors appointment is a direct
argument in favor of that remedy.

4 Place of Detention Needed.

small cOlored boy was yesterday sent
to the workhouse for six days because he
had ridden his bicycle the night before
without lamp. The punishment hardly
fits the crime. The little fellow had no
money and none was advanced to pay his
fine. so he was bundled OFF into the van
with the vagrants, the drunken men and
women and the other riff-raf of the court
and sent to colony where he can learn
only that which is evil. His offense at best
was slight. 1t is, of course, desirable that
the police regulations concerning the use
Of the wheel should be strictly enforced.
The streets must be made safe for pedes-
TRANS and drivers and wheelmen who are
particular in their obedience to the rules.
But at the same time it seems rather harsh

PatrOniZing Praise.

1t would be rather too much to EXPECT
England's Thunderer to look with unmixed
kindlness upon the United States even in
the days of amity between the nations.
The London Times has too often and too
savagcly scored US in the past for our
shortcomings to come around Immediately
with entire grace TO the role of a friend. 1t
comments upon the Coghlan incident in a
tone of patronage which is a distinct echo
Of old times 1t says that the prOmptness
with which Captain Coghlan's indscretion
has been rebukel in this country is an en-
cOuraging sign of betterment in the ma
tional spirit resulting from the war with
Spain. The Times indicates that we. as
young and volatile people, have needed a
brush with an old world power to teach
u manners. and that we are more appre-
cidtive Of the niceties Of international asso-
citation than We were before the campaign
This is quite untrue There has been no
change in the sense of dignity of the ma
tiOn. The victory has suffused the hearts
of the people with pride in their land, their
armies, their ships, their heroes. 1t has
made them measure little more accurate
ly the position Of the United States with
respect to the rest of the world. and to the
advantage of the United States. But there
has never been such national boorishness,
such lack Of consideration for the rights of
other peoples, that a reform through war
or otherwise was necessary or possible
our diplomacy has often been challenged
for its crudity. Our manners have been as
sailed uncouth. We have been called a
nation of jingoes But these charges have
not been substantated in any instance
Neither the London Times nor any other
foreign critic can point to a single case
of palpable improprfety of utterance or ac-
ton by a representative of the nation, in
any capacity, which has not been met at
once with the rebuke which it deserved
from the people. The American sense of
fitness and propriety is just as keen as that
of any other nation, and it has not REQUIRED
a war 10 sharpen it.

The Star repeats its statement of few
days ago respecting the new order of
things In Cuba. 1t should be fashioned In
every particular after American models.
Whether we are to remain for a short time
or for all time. the necessity Is the same.
Spanish methods fell to the ground with
Spanish authority, and the only methods
worthy to take their place are American
methods. On the home rule principle, Gu
bans, so far as they are available, should
be the Instruments employed, but the con-
trolling brain and the guiding hand should
be thoroughly American.
General Wood at Santiago has given a
wonderful exhibition of how successfully
and how rapidly under a close study of d
situation administration on American lines,
but using to the fullest extent the Cubans
themselves, may be conducted In the island.
The province of Santiago has at all times
been difficult one to handle. The Span
iards found 1t SO. and, in their brutal eff
forts to bring 1t under. converted 1t into a
hotbed of revolution. General Wood found
the conditions closely resembling chaos
But he took hold in energetic fashion, and
order soon began to show itself. The
Cuban troops in that province some time
ago stacked their arms and dsbanded.
Many of them went to work at once, and
are still at work. Some of them have be-
come bandits, operating in the mountains,
but they have been proceeded against with
yigOr, and a number have been taken and
are now in prison. This separation of the
late army into its component parts with
work and self-Support for the law-abiding
and prison or the rope for the irreclaimable
bandits, must sooner or later take place in
every province of the island
General Woods hand has been firm, but
Il has been taken cordially by the repre-
sentative and the influential men of the city
and province. He has cleaned up the city,
and reduced the death rate to a figure
never before known. He has reformed and
harmonized the prison rules, and put legal
practices on an honest and intelligent ba-
sis. The schools are open and religious ser
vices are uninterrupted. And in all that he
has done may be traced the lines of the
best American models
In that one province, indeed, under the
direction of this accomplished and capable
man, has been demonstrated everything
necessary to give assurances of American
success in every part of Cuba. He knows
what he is about, and the Cubans have
been quick to see that his purposes are
both straightforward and in their interests
And the sooner he Is copied elsewhere The
better it will be for everybody concerned.

Pennsylvania avenue and 11th street so
that it might be torn down preparatory to

high and will cover a plot 51X126 feet. The
frame will be of steel, which will be cncas-
ed in white Vermont marble. The first and
the three upper stories will be used by The

for offices. The editorial rooms on the sew
enth floor will be finished in mahogany,
