Bull-fghting, Spain's national sport. was supposed to be too strongly en- trenched in the spirit and traditions of the people ever to become distasteful to them, but 1t now appears destined to be swept away before the march of civilization. At recent mass meeting in Barcelona, the scene of many a gory contest between matadOr and bull, res olutions were passed condemning the sport as cruel and brutalizing, and call ing upon the government to suppress 1t throughout the peninsula. The fact attests the power of the humanizing Ideas and influences which, slowly but surely. are transforming the world into a better and happier abiding place for man and animal alike.

Testimony Is cumulative to the effect that horrible and unspeakable atroci- ties have been committed in China by soldiers of the allied armies. There have been wanton and vindictive deeds of crime that are without a parallel in the wars precipitated by religious fanaticism, Christian or Moslem, or by the fiendish pirates of the Spanish main. Slowly has come the hideous truth that the worst and basest pas sions of men have run riot in the em- pire that we would punish for offenses far less revolting than those committed by civilizations chosen agents in the administration of pfenary punishment.

Some Nineteenth Century Wonders.
 If the telescope of the seventeenth century reveals to us myriads of suns, the spectrOscOpe of the nineteenth tells us what substances compose these suns, and, most wonderful of all, the direction and rate in which each is moving. The mariners com pass easily yields place to Morse's electric telegraph, perfected in 1S44. while the useful barometer and ther- mometer are certainly less wonderful than Bells telephone and EdisOn's pho nograph.

MANHOOD AND PENSIONS.

The ordinary appropriations OF the
State of South Carolina are about
&S00,O0O. and of this sum 100000. OF
one-eimhth. has been required for Deu-
sions. 1t is now proposed however, 10
appropriate 100000 for pensions. IN
creasin@ the ordinary expenses 10
100000. and so making the pension
list absorb about one-IouIth Of the
taxes raised This has caused The
Columbia State TO sound 4 warning.
The State calls attention TO the fact
that this increase puts South Carolina
dangerously near 10 the standard of
the United States III lis pension cNpen-
titures. q standard Which South Caro-
linians have been in the habit OF de-
nounciEg as monStrouSly eXtravagan1.
II is also pointed out that the pension
burden thus placed on the people by
the State is i'll addition 10 that which
the United States Government places
upon them for the payment of Federal
pensions.
The State says. by way Of eXpiana-
ton, that it does not grudge any APP
preparation necessary FOR the support
of those Confederate soldiers who, by
reason of wounds or other disabilities
incurred in the service. are unable TO
support themselves. II would also aid
the widows OF disabled veterans, who
We're married before their husbands
entered the army and who are left
destitute by their taking off. But the
policy Of The State, says our South
Carolina contemporary. has been to
dissipate the pension fund il iEconsid-
cradle grltuities among 4 multitude of
claimants, giving unnecessary sums to
maay who did not need and deserve
them
This is 4 question which the people
of the Southern States and the people
Of the whole country should most seri-
ousl;- consider. \ pension system is a
public menace. Il is Il menace 10 pub
lie morals and i menace 10 American
manhood. 1t is right and proper for
the government to take care of its dis
Ibied soldiers who are unable TO take
care OF themselves. DUt Jlte aulnOIileS
should see 10 it that noi one dollar of
this pension fund is ever paid except
TO such needy soldiers or their dcsti-
tude widows. American citizens
should be discouraged from looking
TO the government for support. Ameri-
can manhood is the greatest inherit
auce of americans. We have always
boosted of our independence. of our
indiviiiialism. and il has been the pol
icy of our government from the begin
min. 10 encourage the spirit OF indie

tables of the Four Hundred in the suit o,
Augusta Skosiand, a cook. against heI
former mistress. AIRS. Mary S. Whitney, OF

THE JAMES IN HARNESS.

For wears and years we have hecn
talking about 'harnesSing the James
riyn'' and putting lis force TO Work.
There was no diSpu1ing the TACT that
we had a valuable wa1cr-power at this
Doint. but while 4 small part OF 1t WAS
used. the greater part OF u WIS per
mitted 10 run 10 waste The wafer
flowed by day after day and year after
wear. and went on down 20 the ocean,
ever inviting some cntcrprlSin@ man
10 employ it in turning his machinery,
but the opportunity WAS not improved.
1t was a standing reproach 10 hlch-
mond that this splendid power was
not utilized. But the reproach is no
longer upon us. The Virginia Eiecirl-
cal Railway and Development Com
pany has thrown Il substantial dam
across the river. has dug a deep canal
and erected 4 great power plant Tor
the development of electricity. Ihe
machinery is now. in part. i'll position
and a satisfactory test MAS made two
DAYS ago. 1t is expected that within
Il few weeks the plant will l'e running
regularly.
This is one Of The greatest enter
prises of this cntcrprising era in Rich
mond's history Water-power is now
more valuable than ever because 1t
can be converted into electrical power
and so transmitted to all parts of the
community 1t Will not he necessary
an erect Factories which Shall use this
power, Immediately upon the river
bank Tile power will be generated
AT the river. but il Will be distributed
10 factories in all parts Of the city
and the enterprise must give great
stimulus TO the manufacturing INDUS
Try in Richmond and vicinity.
But are we advertising this fact
abroad rs we should advertise il: We
know all about it here in Richmond,
but how many people on the outside
know that this great work has been
accomplished: Let Us proclaim the
fact far and wide. Let it be told in
ali parts Of the United States that
Richmond has developed her water
power and constructed Il magnificent
plant for The generation of electricity
and is prepared 10 furnish cheap cleo
lrical power TO all sorts Of industries.
1t is an opportunity that ought not 10
he neglected.
