Is no very good evidence that anything
very substantial has been achieved. Some
contingent understandings have probably
been arrived at, but there. is great danger
that the ultimate outcome of the confer

something may turn up between now and

upon the situation there, but at present
the outlook for settlement of the mat

In view of the numerous brutal and
uhprovoked murders committed In this
state recently it is not to be wondered at
chat there should be movement to revive
the death penalty and that it SHOULD be
receiving considerable support. We i'm
agine it is prompted rather by feeling
of evaporation and desire for vengeance
than by an expectation that the death
penalty will have any very decided effect
In diminishing murder. When man
Leads of murders so utterly causeless and
brutal as those committed within the
last week in this state he is likely to feel
that the authors of them should meet the
fate Of their victims. Locking them up
in prison and supporting them at the
public expense seems to be altogether
too humane treatment. As a pun
ishment fitting to the crime much can be
said in favor of the death penalty for
murder, but as deterring penalty or one
more lettering than Imprisonment for
life very little. Murders which have
their origin in hate or jealousy or revenge
no penalty has much effect upon. Posi-
lily murders for the sake of gain may be
restrained more by prospect of suffering
death than imprisonment. for life, though
statistics can be produced which makes
that even doubtful.

IL Is useless TO consider now what

In the Philippine islands We wentato

of the people Democrats as we'll as Re-
publicans. Indeed the for mer once boast
cd that they had more to do with bring.
ing on the war than the latter. We landed
our troops In the island OF Luzon.
with the general approval of the people
at the time, though II foresight had
been equal to hindsight we should proba-
bly, have contented ourselves with blow
ing up the Spanish fleet. All the repin-
ing We may do now won't change the facts
that we have Cuba on our hands to pacify
and the Philippines to treat In some
way, nobody knows exactly how. Ths
only practical thing for US to do now Is
to make our burdens as light as possible
while they are on US, and resolve to re-
lieve ourselves from thsm as soon as we
may do so without impugning our honor
or shirking our obligations. The Cuban
situation is apparently favorable, and the
island is rapidly progressing toward a
condition where 1t may be trusted to take
care of itself. That 1t should be allowed
to do so at the earliest possible mo-
ment 1t can be done with safe
| ty to the people Of the island
will not be denied except by the few who
have hopes that in some way the island
may be made permanent possession Of
this country. 1t is in the Philippines
that we are to meet our chief difficulties.
and the outlook now is that they will be
very serious difficulties. The inha bitants
either distrust our good faith or they
don't want us there on any terms, SO TO
stay we have got to use force for a

to make political capital out of the pr 81

that each party is about equally response

relation of the two parties In tho House
and the Senate could be reversed and the

ing the Filipinos TO subsection. This
being so the sooner Congress does what It
must do. and can't avoid doing under
existing circumstances. the better for the
country. The nation is in for big nd
dition to its financial burdens. 1t has got
to have much larger army and a large
navy. There is no less responsibility foF
this upon the Democrats than upon the
republicans, and the Democrats cannot
alter the fact or decisive the people in re.
gard to II by resort TO obstructive
tactics. Our new obligations have come
by reason of a war which was endorsed by
all parties. and though they are disagree
able and will become even more so In the
future, we fear, neither party can load
the responsibility for 1T upon the other.

nothing more on that subject, now
that they have an opportunity to COM

Judge Holmes, of Des Moines, is
going to ask the legislature to enact
some new legislation on divorce mat
tiers, so as to make the procuring of
divorces process that will take
longer, and also to prevent marriage
again within period of two years.
Among the measures the Judge says
he and the people generally wants is
"a statute prohibiting judges from
trying divorce cases except where the
proper notice has been given and the
petition filed ten days before the open
ing term of court. There are too many
hasty divorces nowadays--divorces
that would not be asked for if the
parties were compelled to take time to
deliberate. AS it is person can
petition for divorce in the middle of
the term, the defendant waive time of
service and answer and the court take
it up and dispose of it at once, the
whole transaction not consuming over
twenty-four hours. This is practice
we want to stop"
On this subject Judges Thornell,
Macy, Smith and Green, of this dis
trict have adopted rule which prac-
tically complies with what Judge
Holmes asks the Legislature to enact,
and the practice in this district has
conformed to the rule. It is as follows :
RULE V. "No action for divorce
shall be heard or disposed of at at any
term unless the petition has been reg
ularly on file with the clerk ut least
ten days before the first day of such
term, and the clerk shall not enter any
divorce case on the docket for any
term unless the same has been so on
file, except where an application is
pending for temporary alimony or
other interlocutory relief, and then
only on the special order of one of the
judges"
Our judges deserve considerable
credit for causing rule to be adopted
in our district which other districts
desire so very much that they are going
to appeal to the Legislature in order to
get the same.
