WOOD AND BROOKE.

From +. ]. Gibson's Santiago Letter IN
the Philadelphia Press.
One of the most noticeable things IN
this city is the vigorous way in which
work is being pushed in the construction
of sewers. Several hundred men are en-
ployed in that way and the business
center will soon be provided for the first
time with sewers. They are not of the
durable kind that would be constructed
If money were plenty, but they will an
swer. This work is being done by GEN
eral Wood In cooperation with the city
authorities Here Is Il marked feature
of General Woods management When
he deems it necessary to make such i'm
provements he calls in the chamber Of
commerce for consultation. The Supreme
court members are also frequently con-
suited about public affairs. When an Of
flee is to be filled the local authorities
are invited to recommend q competent
person for the place. In this way the
people feel that they are taking a large
part of the government and the greatest
satisfaction is expressed on all sides with
General Woods work 1t would appar-
entity have been better IL a similar course
had been followed in Havana. No matter
how well people may be governed they
are never satisfied unless they have
something to do with that government
The experience of the town of Pullman,
in Cook county, ILL.,, illustrates that fact.
The people of Cuba are not Anglo-SaX-
ons. it is true, but they have been con-
tending so long for a measure of self
government that they are much better
satisfied when consulted in the way Cen
eral Wood has done.
o
While in Havana there is much criticism
in the newspapers because the old Span
iSh law allowing persons to be arrested
without knowledge Of the charge against
them or of their accusers name and TO
be placed inCOmmuncadO, is still in force,
there is no complaint of that kind in
Santiago. There is no habeas corpus in
Havana, but there is in Santiago. One
of General Woods early acts was to is
| sue an order that every person arrested
should have the right to communicate
with counsel and with friends and TO
know what the charge is against him.
Just why such an order has never been
| issued in Havana is not easy to discover.
The Spanish law which permitted of the
arrest of a person and his incarceration
| without knowledge of the charge against
| him and without the privilege of COM
municating with any one was as bitterly
denounced as anything else connected
with Spanish rule in Cuba. But outside
of Santiago province that law is in force
| today and arrests have been made under
| II in Havana within three weeks / in
| quired of General Ludlow, the military
governor of that city, why that iniqutous
| law had not been suspended, and in re-
| ply he said that he had made such rec
ommendation to Governor General
| Brooke, but no action had been taken.
| AS General Brooke resides in Havana,
the blame for the delay appears to rest
on him.

A Challenge.

The disagreement of the jury in the
trial at Charleston, S. c., of persbns
accused of lynchlng the negro post
master of Lake City presents a mis-
carriage of justice which, although not
unexpected, is nevertheless to be deep
ly deplored. In the community where
this atrocious crime was committed
there was confident boast, prior to
the trial of the suspected assassins.
that the jury would acquit without
leaving it's seat. AS a matter of fact,
after twenty-one hours of deliberation,
it voted to Z for conviction, a sign
of at least partial respect for law and
order which deserves to be noted as
an offset to the original crime. The
five men voting for conviction were
men of education and owners of prop
erty. They are deserving of the high
est credit in view of the fact that the
guilt of the accused was clearly estab-
lshed
In his address to the jury Judge
Brawley called attention to the fact
that this Lake City murder had been
the subject of comment from Aguin-
aldo. who had alluded to it derisively
as an evidence Of Americas boasted
civilization. The sneer of the Malay
rebel was superficial, but it will have
more force now that regularly chosen
jury after ample testimony showing
conclusive guilt has returned a verdict
Of disagreement. Judge Brawley also
said Sometimes | feel that the moral
fibre of the people is growing weaker
instead of growing stronger-that there
is growing deterioration in our race,
Forty years ago who heard of negroes
| committing arson, assault, murder and
burglary? Who heard of a lynching
or mob violence forty years ago? Who
ever heard OF the humble home Of a
| man being burned and his children
butchered? These things indicate that
the law is no longer respected by our
people-the law has lost its sanction
What does that mean? 1t means an
arChy; it means the diSinteSration of
society; it means barbarism. The whole
people have the government in their
hands, and if they cannot enforce the
law they confess their impotence. If
they cannot govern the state with all
| the machinery in their hands without
resorting to violent means, it is a con-
| fession of incapacity and the sooner
| this is realized the better 1t will be for
| all concerned. The restoration of our
| pristine virtue is the real white mans
| burden.
The judge, of course, is pessimistic.
| In spite of occasional gross crimes
| society upon the whole is growing bet
as steadily. But the growth in virtue
needs every encouragement that civil
ization can give and the failure of
Justice in this South Carolina case
should be considered, not as a signal
for good citizenship to lay down and
repine, but as a challenge.

Maori Women.

The Maori women Of Australasia have
their rights fourisbing ones. General
" they have little voice or choice in the
selection Of their first husbands, but
they may, and frequently do, change
them. A woman may trade her husband
without so much as comment from
the public, without the slightest smudge
on her good name, and it is nothing to
his discredit either. Courtship is railways
brief and does not often preface mar
riage. The Maoris, however, love to re-
peat oriental love tales and sing love
songs. Maori widows not infrequently
commit suicide on the graves of their
husbands and are honored for doing so,
as in China. Divorce is simple; it needs
no revenue, employs no officers. He
turns her out Of doors, and both are free
to remarry. This is all. Girls are often
betrothed irrev ocably from infancy.
