CURRENT COMMENT.
THE GIFT OF GRUMBLING.
(Waterville Mail.)

(Waterville Mail.)
Under the foregoing heading the Lew
lston Journal says:
The national talent of grumbling has
been admirably developed by the Atl<in-
sonism and Milesism. You should hear
the old soldiers criticlse Miles chatter on
canned.beef. Said Maine veteran to the
Journal yesterday: why the American
sol Tiers in the Spanish war had daint!es
compared with what we got when we
were on Chickahominy and advancing on
Richmond. Hardships-the war with
spain was too short to multiply grief
such as We had.''
And what if the soldiers in Cuba did
not suffer as much as the veterans of the
it be expected that they would1 The two
cases are not parallel Tho one campaign
was almost at the close of tremendous
civil strife during which the resources OF
both sides had been strained to the ut
most. The other was the beginning Of
a struggle that lasted a few weeks instead
of years, in which the resources of the
stronger power were practically unlimit-
ed, If 1t is to Re understood that soldiers
need not expect decent food rs soon as &C.
tive campaigning begins, we had better
know it at the outset. If starvation in
stead of hostile bullets Is to furnish the
chief cause of danger and suffering in
active operations, then we had better
revise our system of military training
and. instead of giving them rifle practice,
inure our soldiers to the habit OF living
on one meal day. and that of a quality
poor enough to bear some comparison
with what they are likely to have in the
field. Nowhere else but in the American
army do we hear such tales in regard to
the commissary department, doubtless
because no other than our easy going
government WOuId allow itself to bs

The Venezuela commission is to meet
in Paris shortly to determine the owner
ship of the strip of land lying between
British Guiana and Venezuela, which is
claimed by both England and Venezuela.
This is the strip President Cleveland
threatened to go to war with Eng
land about a few years ago. Luckily for
us-for we were utterly unprepsred for
war at that time-the British ministry
did not take the Presidents message very
seriously, while the thinking people of
both countries soon asserted themselves
and checked the Ejingoes who wanted to
fight in both countries. Finally after
considerable diplomatic correspondence
England consented to submit the matter
to arbitration. Our alleged reasons fol
growing SO hot over the matter at the
time were that England's seizure of the
disputed strip would be a blow at our
Monroe doctrine and that we were under
"a sort of moral obligation to see that the
weak republics of South America got fair
play from the monarchies of Europe.
Mixed in with these and perhaps having
as much to do with it was our dislike of
England and hostility to land grabbing.
Since then. our dislike has changed to
affection and land grabbing is not SO
wicked in our sight as it used to be. If,
therefore, the arbitration commission
should decide that the. disputed strip be-
lonaed to England we shall not be likely
TO feel very badly about it.

The failure of the grand jury to find an
indictment against Roland Molineaux for
the murder of Mrs Adams by poisoning
probably ends that case for though Moli-
neaux has been arrested for assault on
Harry Cornish the evidence to support
this must be the same evidence offered
in the Adams case and If 1t failed there
1t is likely to fail in the Cornish case
The case against Molinaux was based
almost entirely upon the similarity OF
his handwriting to that of certain orders
on chemists for poisons, and the jury ap'
pear to have been convinced by the test1-
ony of MIR. David Cavalho, the we'll

were not the same, though there was
much testimony on the other side.

The strategy of the Filipinos in Luzon
Is precisely like that of the Cubans when
the latter were lighting against the Span
ards. They avoid pitched battles and
prepare ambuscades and surprises for our
troops just as the Cubans Used to do for
the Spaniards. The reason that their
strategy is notssso successful as in the case
Of the Cubans is that they are encounter
Ing an altogether different kind of foe.
Substitute Spaniards for Americans In
the Philippines today and we venture to
say thatain a week the conditions there
would undergo u great change. Indeed,
Spain utterly failed to put down the rs-
bellion when she held sway there, by
arms, and only succeeded when she resort
cd to brides. Our pursuit is SO energetic
and continuous that the Filipinos have
little opportunity to do anything hut fall
back. They are showing fully as much
bravery as the Cubans ever did and just
as much Intelligent strategy. The differ
enoe of result comes from the difference
In the character of the troops and oom-
manders they are pitted against.
