CERVERA ON EXPANSION.

Admiral Cervera. who had the mis-
fortune to command the Spanish fleet
at Santiago de Cuba one memorable
July day. two wears ago, is not only n
fine type of the Spanish gentleman
and an excellent naval officer. but
is withal close observer and prac-
teal statesman. He has long admir-
ed this country, nj one time thought
seriously of casting his lot with us. o.
His opinion OF our colonial policy
appears below and is an interesting
contribution to current politics:
.Oh. it is a great country. But YOU
have made great mistake over there.
You were not satisfied with your own
great country, but now you want to
reach out-you want to become =
power among the older nations of
Europe. That is your mistake. Your
country produced everything you re-
quired. You were not taxed to sup
port an army or a navy. Stamped
paper was unknown over there. No
one thought Of anything but business
and Of trade, and. Of course, you grew
and developed and became very rich.
No one on this side wanted to quarrel
with you, but now you have changed
all this. You will find in your new
colonies drain upon Your resources.
You would have been better off with
out them.-Winston Journal"

RAPE AND POLITICS.
Outrageous Miscarriage Of Justice in
Pennsylvania for Partisan Pur-
poses.


There is no form Of crime which
men may commit that :lrouSes even
in the most law-abiding communities
such an uncomfortable thirst for i'm
mediate vengeance rs the rape OF Il
defenseless woman. There is good
reason why the passion for vengeance
should be thus aroused; for though
the criminal may be punished. there
is no possible reparation. The white
man who does not abhor this crime
or who does not to the full extent Of
his ability aid in bringing it. perp"-
traitors to Justice is disgrace 20 his
lineage.
Yet the story which The Hccorl
prints this morning, carefully avouch-
ed and corroborated in every detail,
shows that there are white men in
Chester cOunty-men who have been
honored with positions OF response
bility and who are seeking for further
honors at the hands of the people Of
that countv-who have so sunk out
OF sight their manhood i'll the pursuit
of dirty politics as to have made
themselves responsible for delaying if
not defeating the ends OF justice in a
most revolving case Of the rape of a
white woman by negro ruilian.
1t will make every honest mans
blood boil who shall read the terrible
recital directly inculpating the Dis
trict Attorney of Chester county and
one of the Republican candidates for
Representative in the Legislature as
active Intermediates in shielding
from trial and punishment black
brute against whom there was the
strongest discriminating circumstan-
tial evidence.
The apparent motive for the accom-
plishment OF such miscarriage OF
Justice is only less Infamous than the
crime that has thus far gone unpun-
ished. There are two thousand negro
votes in Chester county, and for fear
that these votes shall not be cast for
the Republican machine candidates
the orderly administration Of Justice
has been set aside to shield laScivi-
Gus negro who has brutalized. mis-
treated and feloniously assaulted Il
white woman,
Shame upon the men who can 50
degrade themselves ut the best OF
pestilential partisanship, Shame
on the community that can tolerate
such infamy without instant. indig-
nant and overwhelming rebuke.
