UNNECESSARILY ALARMED.

The New York Herald sees In the
revolution in Colombia danger Of trou-
BILE between the United States and Eu-
rope, and 1t thinks that our govern
ment should Immediately send large
naval force to Panama for the pur-
pose of assisting the Colombian gov
eminent in restoring order.
| 1t was announced in our dispatches
yesterday that the United States
steamer Ranger would depart for Pam
anna in a day or two to protect Ameri-
can interests, and 1t is the understand
ing that one or two other naval YES
sells will be sent there just as soon as
they can be put in condition for SER
vice. Thus far the revolutionists have
not interfered with American interests,
except in one instance. In that case
fifty of them stopped a train on
the Panama railroad and took there
from four government officials. The
train was not detained more than an
hour. None of the other passengers
were interfered with and no property
was taken. The United States are I'M
government to keep the Panama rail-
way open to traffic, and II there should
be disposition shown by the revolu-
tionists to block traffic across the 18TH
mus they would undoubtedly take steps
at once to assist the Colombian gov
eminent in enforcing the law along the
route of the Panama railroad.
fu
that the revolution in Colombia is en-
couraged by Venezuela, and that IL is
the purpose of that country to extend
its authority over Colombia. This
may bring about condition OF af-
fairs that would invite foreign inter-
vention. and European Powers would
endeavor to gain foothold in one or
both countries.
This is of course purely speculative.
The Herald may be right in the view
it takes, but there does not seem to
be any development 20 sustain 1t. 1t
is more than probable, however, that
the President of Venezuela, finding
himself very unpopular, is trying to
bring about complications between Co
lombia and Venezuela with the view
of strengthening his hold upon Vene-
zuela. But, whatever the actual situa-
ton may be. it is certain that the
United States will not permit any Eu-
ropean Power to NEEDLE in the political
affairs of. or establish it's authority in,
either Venezuela, Colombia or any
other South American state, or any
Central American state. There is no
probability that any one of the Euro
pean Powers will disregard the Mon
roe doctrine. Before the Spanish
American war Europe may not have
had as much respect for that doctrine
as it has now. While the naval victories
of Manila and Santiago are fresh in
her mind she will hardly venture to
grab territory on the American con-
tinent. The Heralds efforts to create
the impression that the United States
are in grave danger of war with Eu-
rope may be interesting. but they will
not make much of an impression on the
public mind.

Since the announcement of the APP
pointment of Rear Admiral Howison
as a member of the Schley court OF in
quiry there has been a good deal in
the public prints to the effect that he
is a Sampson partisan. The statement
can hardly be true. II he had express
ed an opinion in favor Of either Schley
or Sampson. an opinion which he felt
could not be changed easily by testi-
mony, it is not reasonable TO suppose
that he would accept an appointment
as a member OF the court of inquiry.
It is probable that II would be diff

not talked about the case. No doubt

LESS DRINKING TO EXCESS.

A statement made by Mr.. Jules Cam
bon, the French Ambassador to the
United States, in recent interview in
ton and is the subject of a good deal
of interesting comment. Speaking of
the prevailing idea that there is great
deal of drunkenness in this country he
said:
There may be some hypocrites, but
the vast majority abstain from strong
drink, TO the great advantage of the
race. which, for a time, threatened to
lapse into drunkenness"
There is no doubt that there has been
very noticeable decline in drunken
ness in all parts of the United States.
It has not been so many years since it
was not considered a disgrace to be
seen drunk. Now man who is known
to drink to excess is regarded with dis
favor. He Is not wanted at clubs and
his welcome is not warm at private
| houses. II he is a young man parents
do not want their sons to associate
with him, and they are careful to warn
their daughters against him. 1t makes
no difference how highly he is connect
ed nor how well he may be fixed finan-
cially, he is not welcome guest any
where.
It is a we'll know fact that a drink
ing man is finding it harder every year
to get employment. In fact, the great
employing corporations will not have
in their employ man who Is a habit
ual drinker, even If he does his drink
| ing out of business hours.
| Old men can remember when 1t was
a common thing for men to drink
themselves into a state of intoxication
at dinner parties. No one was thought
the less of for getting drunk at such
an entertainment. If a man were to be
guilty of such thing these days he
would not have an opportunity to re-
peat the performance. The old time
side board has about disappeared and
the bottle is not brought forth nearly
as often as 1t once was in private
houses.
The saloon IS of course in evidence
but there is a large class of men now
/
once in a while, are never seen in &
public drinking place. 1t is fact alsC
that in clubs there is a great deal les.
drinking than formerly. Among meI
at least the drinking habit is on th'
decline. And a very good thing 1t Il
that 1t is so.
We do not believe that prohibition o.
dispensary laws have had anything Z.
do with bringing about this change
The change is due to the efforts in be
half of temperance. Men are being per
suaded to abandon strong drink 70
their own good. They have been LEI
to see the evil effects of drink. Loca
option probably has had as much to d.
with inducing people to give up stroni
drink as anything else. People cal
be persuaded and educated to do
thing which they can not be driven t
do. Prohibition has not succeeded be
cause the tendency is to insist upol
having that which is prohibited.
At the present rate of improvement
there will be comparatively littl
drunkenness in this country within tn
next half century. There will doubt
less always be a large consumption o
light wines and beer, but there will b
steady falling off in the consumptio
of strong liquors.

Department the other day that while
some sailors from the Annapolis were
in bathing in the sea at 1loilo, p. l.,
Quartermaster McKie was seized by a

The meeting at Brighton Beach next
Thursday between Cresceus and The
Abbot is being looked forward to with
interest by horse lovers everywhere.
These horses are the leaders of the
world in their class, and embody the
perfection of the breeders and trainers
arts. And they will be evenly match
ed. SO that the slightest break on the
part of either horse or the smallest
miscalculation on the part of either
driver may mean the loss of the heat.
AS is known. Cresceus holds the trot-
ting record of 2:02A, while The Alb
bots time is just one second more. 1t
is not likely that the record will be
stiI further lowered at Brighton Beach.
but 1t is quite certain that one Of the
most exciting and interesting trotting
races of recent years will be seen.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Times (Dem.) says,
1.-THE Southern iron industry is quite
right in supposing that it will profit
by the North's misfortunes. If the
strike should continue the effect in
dubitably will be to send orders to
Birmingham. The capacity of the Ala
bama district is being increased con-
stantly, and under the spur of a larger
demand further expansion may be
looked for. There is abundant oppor-
tunity for extending the iron and steel
business at Birmingham. The sur
roundings particularly favor the es-
adjustment of new plants in a region
which has already made its name
known around the world as an iron
manufacturing center"
The Galveston News (Dem.) says:
Now that the steel companies have
positively announced that they Will
have no further conference with tho
strikers the chances are that Senator
Hanna will tender his good offices TO
establish peace between the corpora
tons and the workers. BY doing this
he can ingratiate himself with the
workers and still not estrange the cor
porations so far that he can not jolly
small campaign fund out or them
when the time for 1t arrives.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) says:
"of course, all sorts OF reports about
nearly everything are current nova
days, and the newspaper reader is get
ting in the habit of demanding affida-
Wits; but there are strong evidences in
the present situation that the story was
true that j. Pierpont Morgan grufly
ordered Senator Hanna to attend TO
his own business, If he had any. when
he tried to settle the strike"
The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says:
And now Senator Stewart of Nevada
comes forward and supports the Han
ma presidential boom. The Rothschil-
dren and Judas Iscariot must enjoy

3. A statement that he had $4,000
planted which he wished to get in Or
der to be able to leave the country.
According to the Iowa editors story,
the man said TO be Pat Grove came to
his home after II o'clock at night, was
admitted. was given food and was per-
mitted to sleep there until just before
daylight. The man, according to the
Iowa editor. was in state of abject
fear. and seemed all but hopeless of
avoiding the officers, who are search
ing for him. In this alleged confession
the fugitive is reported to have stated
that he could no longer trust those who
had been his friends, owing to the big
reward offered for his apprehension,
and that he knew not which to turn.
The fugitive told the editor, the
story says, that the few hours sleep
in the latter's house was the first I'M
broken rest that he had had for weeks.
The fugitive is reported as having ex-
planned that his only object in remain
ing in this vicinity was to secure the
buried treasure, and that SO great was
his fear of detection that he could not
come to the point after it.

SIR FRANCIS COOK DEAD.
He Married the Sister of the Notorious
Vic woodruff.

A dispatch from London, February
IT. says: Sir Francis Cook, who, in
1885, married Miss Tennessee Claflin,
of New York, died this evening at 10
o'clock.
A dispatch to the Globe-Democrat
gives the following particulars about
his wife's American career: Sir Francis
Cook, who was a dealer in shawls and
other East Indian goods in London,
got his title for his benefactions. and
had amassed great wealth, when,
about fifteen years ago, he married
Tennessee Clafiin. Miss Claf1in and her
sister. Victoria woodruff. now the wife
of John Biddulph Martin, London
banker. had careers in this country
which brought them great notoriety.
The Clafin sisters were children OF
Door parents in Ohio and were born
about 1910. Victoria, at the age of IA,
married DR.. Canning Woodruff. from
whom she was soon divorced. After
Victoria had acquired money as
medium" the sisters opened brok-
erage office in Broad street, this city,
after the civil war. and at the same
time began the publication of Wood
hull and Clafiin's Weekly, in which
free love and woman'S rights were adj
vocated.
In 1872 Victoria was nominated for
president by the equal rights party.
The year previous to that she gave the
Beecher-Tilton scandal its first publi-
city III a speech in Boston. while Ten
nessee, in her paper, fiercely denounced
Mr.. Beecher. Their course drew such
general odium on them that the sisters
left the country and went to London
to live There they continued the pub
LEGATION of their paper. but came less
frequently into public notice. agitating
in a less obtrusive fashion their So
cialistic and humanitarian ideas. BY
her marriage to Sir Francis Cook. who
was a widower, Tennessee became Lady
Cook and Viscountess Montserrat-

ALLEGED CONFESSION BY GROVE,
Tells Friend in Iowa He Knows Not
Which Way to Flee.

Waterloo. Iowa.-Pat Grove con-
fessed the Cudahy kidnapping to Isaiah
Van Metre. the editor of the Waterloo
Weekly Tribune. with whom the hunt
ed fugitive found shelter and food Tues
day night of this week. and Mr.. Van
Metre publishes the details of the visit
in the current number of his paper.
Back of this. perhaps the most dra-
matte episode of the long series that
has grown out of the celebrated child
stealing case. is a story of how Grove
saved the life of the editor a dozen
years ago. so establishing the credit of
gratitude upon which he felt SAFE in
drawing. now that he is an outcast with
price of $4,000 set upon his head.
The statement of Grove to the Wa
terloo editor covers the following
points:
l. A frank confession of the kidnap-
ing.
2. An explanation that he had no in
tention of harming young Cudahy and
