THE CASE OF NEELY.

The case of Nicely, the alleged defaulting
official OF the Cuban postal service, raises
some interesting questions as to the place
of his trial and what court should take
jurisdiction of the matter. These questions
grow out OF the relations between the
United States and Cuba, which are without
any precedent in history or international
law. II the charges against Nicely are true.
as seems probable. IL is even doubtful
whether his crime is against the United
States or Cuba. AS far as the disgrace is
concerned the United States is the main
sufferer, and whatever money loss there
has been will have TO be made good TO the
Cubans. Ordinarily the law requires that
man be tried in the country where the al
legged crime was committed and under It's
laws But strictly speaking. Cuba has no
laws BY the treaty OF peace Spain reln-
pushed all claim OF sovereignty I'm Cuba
and the extinguishment Of her sovereignty
extinguished her laws. OF course. there is
no American law In Cuba. The old Spanish
laws haze been kept In force by courtesy
er BY military order. but that Is question

able authority. The whole situation is
anomalous and embarrassing. 1t is even
difficult to understand how a requisition
for the extradition Of Nicely from the
United States to Cuba will lie. His at
torney has signified his determination to
resist extradition, and he may succeed in
defeating IT. In that case Nicely ought to
be tried in this country for a crime
against the United States. The main thing
Is that he be tried somewhere promptly,
and. IL convicted, be punished without
mercy IL there is any Spanish law in Cuba,
and If the penalty for his alleged crime is
more severe under that law than it is I'M
der American law. that is the place to try
him. The one thing above all others that
the administration cannot afford to do is to
let him escape through any legal bubble
or international technicality

SUSPENSION OF MIR. THOMSON.

To say that the friends of Mr.. z. p.
Thompson. of this city. are shocked to hear
that he has been suspended as postmaster
at Havana would scarcely be correct. They
would be shocked to hear that there Is a
particle Of evidence connecting him, per-
sonally. with any fraud or wrongdoing, but
until such evidence is produced of the most
convincing and indisputable kind they will
believe that his suspension is due to the
acts OF others and is done in order to facil-
fate an investigation which, for obvious
reasons, should be made with absolute fear
lessness. A dispatch received in this city
q few days ago from Mr.. Thompson said
This Office not involved" It now appears
that he was mistaken, as two stamp SELL
ers Of the Havana office. Moya and Mas
caro- by name, have been arrested Their
names indicate that they are Cubans. 1t is
exceedingly unfortunate for Mr.. Thompson
that some OF his employees should have
proved dishonest, and in the present excited
state of feeling that fact may justify his
suspension from Office though Ii is a very
serious matter to put such a stigma on
man of his character and record. But I'm
this community. where Mr.. Thompson was
born and where he has passed nearly all of
his life. establishing a character without
bIemish and a reputation for strictest In
tegrity, no person who knows him will be-
Iieve without convincing proof that he has
been guilty Of the slightest act of dishon-
esty. AS assistant postmaster and postmas-
ter in this city for many years. during
which his superiors and the government
placed implicit confidence in him. he had
abundant opportunity to steal II he had
been so inclined. He was faithful to every
trust here. and II is simply incredible that
he has been otherwise in Havana He is
amply unfortunate in being a victim of
dishonest employees and of panicky state
OF feeling caused by the discovery of frauds
which have not yet been clearly defined or
located. The Journal feels assured that Mr..
Thompson will come out without the smell
of fire on his garments.

GRATIFYING PROGRESS IN CUBA.

Secretary Root announces that If the
municipal elections to be held in Cuba the
latter part of June pass off with reason
able quiet, and If season of tranquility
follows the permanent withdrawal of the
nine thousand troops now on the island
will be begun the last of July. 1t all de-
ponds upon the conduct of the Cubans
themselves. If the elections should be
scenes of violence or IL the results thereof
are not accepted by those who are not
elected the President. to keep our pledges
to the Cuhans and the world will be forced
to maintain American garrisons, thus de-
ferring the date of that independence for
which many Cubans seem so impatient and
for which a few demagogues in Congress
like Senator Mason are even more i'm
patient
The conditions encourage the belief that
the Cubans will be able to establish
municipal governments by their own votes
upon the basis of justice. If the hope of
the administration and those who desire
the best things for the Cubans is realized
the achievement of the United States in
Cuba will be as wonderful as gratifying.
The United States has held the island
about eighteen months. yet within that
brief period law and order have been es-
tablished and civil government such as
the Cubans never knew will be secured
When 1t is recalled that Cuba never knew
anything like good government and that
those who held power were regarded by
the ignorant masses as plunderers and
enemies, the transformation which has
velous. 1t was predicted before we began
that an army of cavalry would be needed
to hunt down the desperadoes who. it was
claimed, had fled to Cuba for refuge While
soldiers have been employed to suppress
lawlessness. it must be admitted that there
has been very little of that brigandage
and robbery that was expected That the
Cubans have done better than was ex-
pected affords ground to believe that they
will be able without great difficulty to es-
tablish municipal government and thus
prepare the way to full independence. In
this connection it may be claimed that our
success in Cuba thus far affords reason to
believe that We can. when understood, give
the Philippines local government such as
that people has never had. This may be
Imperialism; if 1T is. imperialism of the
American brand will be boon to millions
who have not been able to distinguish be-
tween government and onnrass;o,

TAGGART IS FOR KERN.

Campbell Not a Candidate.

The fact that Mayor Taggart yesterday
declared himself in favor of the candidacy
of John w. Kern, who will be an applicant
in the State convention for the nominal
ton for Governor, means that the Taggart
machine will be against Frank B. Burke.

ial nomination. In avowing himself as fav-
orable to Mr.. Kern's candidacy yesterday
Mayor Taggart frankly announced that he
believed Mr.. Kern would receive more votes
in the State of Indiana than Mr.. Burke
Mayor Taggart is satisfied that had b. f.
Snively consented to make the race for the
nomination for first place on the ticket ne
would have had no opposition. The mayor
announces again that he will not be a cam
didate under any circumstances.

Who shall say that the world has grown
pessimistic or that Indiana is given over to
mammon and selfishness when a citizen of
the State starts out on a pedestrian tour
of 800 to 400 miles In the interest Of birds
and their better protection? During his
long tramp wherever he can get a small
audience he will give a nonpartisan talk
in favor of birds, without allusion to the
British-Boer war. the Cuban postal scam
dal the St. Louis street-railroad strike or
any other topic of the times. The name
of the Indiana bird lover who proposes to
do this is Isaac w. Brown. of Rochester,
and the Journal bespeaks for him friend
ly welcome wherever he may CO. For a
people to recognize that birds have right
to live and that they pay their way is a
sign of civilization.

Governor Stephens, of Missouri, has
added another to his claims for public re-
srect by stating that in calling for $500
extra policemen to preserve order in St.
Louis during the street-railroad strike he
took the advice of the Police Board, the
chief and other heads Of the department,
and not that of President Mahon. of the
International Association of Amalgamated
street-railway Employees. 'I think these
men, who live in st. Louis" says Governor
Stephens, know the conditions here better
than AR. Mahon, who does not live here.
Therefore did not consult Mr.. Mahon, nor
do intend to do So" That is the way
one likes to hear Governor talk.
