Mixture of Civilization and slavery

Ir1'nrn polls Sentinel.
While people are still shuddering
over the atrocities of the boxers
in China, come the terrible details Of
the horror at Limon, Col. The people
of that region are not peculiarly blood
thirsty. They seem to have gone about
the thing much as they would have
come to the aid of a neighbor in any
other matter. They left the punish
ment to the father of the murdered
girl They furnished the murderer Il
bible and gave him time to pray They
had ordered the rough element to keep
away and make no interference. What
queer mixture Of order and crime,
of religion and sin, of civilization and
barbarism, of compassion and malig-

Pncinc Const and Canal.

San Francisco Chronicle.
One form of railroad opposition to
the canal project has been the asser-
tion that vt would put San Francisco
and California outside the lines of COM
merce with Asia There is nothing in
it,, San Francisco is not 200 miles off
the line of the shortest route from the
Pacific entrance to the canal and Yoke
hama, which is nothing N such a voy-
age. II would be a port of call and
coaling for all commerce with Northern
Asia. But the canal has been desired
anj demarded in this State rather as 4
means Of exchange of raw or bulky
products be- ween the Pacific coast and
Atlantic ,ports than as a matter affect
ing tae general commerce of the world
rs to that, we are willing to take our
chances in the full assurance that we
shall not only not lose, but shall be a
great gamer even in that to us subcr-
dinste matter Our main object is the
development of the Pacific coast. which
has an area capable of supporting 40
100000 or $4,000, coo of people-and
even more than that-but which now
languishes for lack OF cheap and speedy
communication with all parts Of the
wcrld. The competition Of the Near
aqua canal will add to the value of all
our exports by the amount OF the re-
duction of freight which it brings, and
will cheaper the local price Of all our
imports in the same way. That will
make conditions OF life easier here, and
cause an influx of those seeking some
thing to do. And with the increase of
population in fertile land we may
trust to the impulse of that population
itself to produce something which che D
communication will permit to be mar
keted elsewhere in the world.

Indianapolis Sentinel
The summary dismissal Of Russell
Harrison Immediately after the cleo
ton looks very much like an attempt
to reflect on his ather. whether it was
so intended or not, and as the admin
istration never troubled itself to show
any respect for the ex-President dur
ing the past four years, it is cutie
probable that there is exactly this
contemplate. motive in the proceed
ing. There are some very small things
in politics now and then.

death Of her aunt, Ann suydam,
drowned herself IN a FISH pond on the
suydam estate at Oyster Bay, N. X,
last Sunday.
She had money in plenty, was not
without friends, but she was lonely,
felt neglected, and going out in the
dusk of the evening she walked to the
grounds surrounding the Suydam man
sion, wrapped shawl about her head,
and plunged into the water, thus ending
the troubles she fancied were pursuing
her. The thing that men strive for
money-she had galore; but she was
poor in that which money cannot buy,

United States will retain possession OF

Lying south of the western end OF

western or Yucatan entrance to the
Gulf, and forms an important outpost
for the defense of the Nicaragua canal.
While Secretary Root visited Cuba
he went TO the island and recognized
its strategic Importance. The State De-

treaty Of peace the tile of the Isle OF
Pines passed to the United States. Sec
rotary Root holds similar views.

We clip this comment from the Bos-
ton Globe:
1t is declared that in the mountain
counties of Kentucky the returns Of
the late election were so padded that
n many instances the number of votes
accorded was greater than the whole
adult male population OF the district.
But the trick of the schemiag Republi-
can mountaineers didn't serve their
oarty's turn this time
Now, vote larger than ''the whole
adult male population" isn't SO bad.
We can do worse than that right here
in Wheeling. We believe it was in
Philadelphia, however. some years ago,
where vote was returned in excess
Of the entire population, including
men. women and children, as cast in
one election district. To do that re-
Quircs really fine political work.

uuLHArroN A MENTAL WRECK.

The, sad news comes from FnoehlA'
Ariz.. that ice Mulhatton is mental
wreck. 1t would be just like the old
time "Joe" to send out story Of that
sort about himself, but, somehow, IL
lacks the ear-marks of the old famii-
lar yarns and bears the semDlance OIL
truth. And presuming it to be true
the American newspaper reading world
can well afford to say Poor old Joe!
For half a generation he figuredsin the
American press as the champion and
most charming prevaricator Of all the
land. When q travelling man it was
his inspiration and delight to tell tales
to the reporters which rather surpassed
Munchausen, and yet had the charm OF
fact, with all the inspiration of fiction.
They did no harm, were never be-
lieved, and yet were read with avidlty
by all sorts of people, from Maine to
Texas. About once in two weeks, in
the old days, Mutation used to turn
up at some obscure town with hair
raising experience set forth in correct
English, and with every detail. They
were both thrilling and circumstantial,
and were accompanied with that ele-
ment of probability or rather posi-
bility, which characterizes many of the
most happy ictions of Mark Twain"
tx. @. Philander Doesticks," "Nasby,"
Josh Billings" or "Artemus Ward. }"
His mental equipment for the inven-
ton of things which never happened
was at once the delight and wonder of
thousands of envIous souls, and now he
has lost command of a bright and YER
satile mind-not as result of his i'm
aginations, but because of too much
money, won through successful mining
manipulations. He would have been
UNNECESSARILY richer had he been poor
and forced to hike a grip from one
country store to another, as in the old
days. Here's toast to joe Mulhat-
ton: May he never be called upon to
answer for his lies" 81
