We suggest as good subject for
book Revised Maxims." Recent
events have shown that quite num-
Der of old maxims need modification
under the brilliant electric light which
now prevails. Since the hearty be-
levers in protection in this country
object so seriously to raise of FIVE
per cent in the duties Of China it would
be better to say that "sauce for the
goose is not fit for the gander." We
could also say "where there is will
and a Hanna there is a way" Com
ing events keep their shadows careful

have been hanged for the murder of a

time set for his execution his lawyers
secured stay of proceedings. A mob

whereupon the sheriff and his deputies
fred on the mob, killing one and
wounding two others. The mob dis

THE board of directors of the Weston
Insane Asylum last week elected DR..
A. H. Kunst as superintendent of that
institution in place of DR.. Stathers.
DR.. Kunst is business man of &C
knowledged capacity, and has made
study of the care of insane that will
particularly well qualify him for the
position. He is well-known resident
of Weston, and having been familiar
most of his life with the institution he
is now to manage he ought to be
successful superintendent.

THE Hagerstown Malt, In speaking
of the effort of Secretary Root and
others, delivered itselfa as follows:
The officials seem TO forget that the
anti-canteen fanatics care nothing about
what becomes of the soldiers thus driv-
en- to drink. What they want is the law
on the Federal statute book prohibiting
canteens So long as they have the law
it is quite immaterial to them how much
liquor the troops may get or how pols-
onouS its quality may be. y
The above lines are a pretty fair
sample of what is being dished out as
facts by some Of the papers. We have
often heard the assertion that there
were hypOcrites among religious peo-
pie and that we believe, but the editor
of the Nail goes a little further and
says in effect that all religious people
and modern reformers are sniveling
hypocrites whose highest ambition is
to put some pet theories into practice
regardless of the welfare or the safety
of the people at large,

SECRETARY Roof is kicking the an
ti-canteen law pretty hard just now.
We suggest that he take an easy thing
and kick that insular decision of the
supreme court. That can hardly
stand straight now, and little kick
from the puissant secretary might
make it stagger nightly.

A MOST gigantic steal is now going
on in Pennsylvania, the result OF meas
ures passed by the Legislature per-
mitting some extremely fat thieving
in the way of public franchises. 1t
really makes very little difference to
the people, however, for the franchises
now in existence are controlled by
about as tough set as any that can
follow them.

THE LAW AND THE cANTEEN.

1t really looks very much like no
law could be made strong enough to
cause some officials to observe its re-
euirements. One of the most fragrant
instances Of the overriding or practical
multiplying of the law by officials whose
sole duty it is to enforce the law is to
be seen in relation to the canteen in
the army. The law was enacted by
the last congress in language so plain
that il could not be set aside nor ig-
nored, and then some of the officials
with the cognizance and in fact with
what seems the open approval OF Sec
rotary Root set to work to make the
law odious. As the law forblds selling
intoxicating liquors, they have stopped
the sale Of everything, and by closing
up the stores of supply are trying to
get the soldiers out of camp where
thew can raise various kinds of trouble
and bring about the restoration Of the
canteen with its dishonor and shame.
The striking experience Of England
in India as well as other experiments
by European nations show that alb
stinence is far best for the soldier, but
it does not follow that because he
does not need liquor or beer that he
does not care for place Of honorable
resort where he can 90 for suitable
supplies and rest or read according to
his fancy. Rooms for recreation and
places of amusement ought to be fur
nished even if it has to be done at
government expense. The nation that
is boasting of its wealth and paying
more for pensions than all the rest Of
world combined can surely give its en-
listed soldiers a few decent comforts
without going into the saloon business
and tryingto turn its young soldiers
into common sots.
Concerted effort is being made for
the repeal of the Canteen act and Pc
titions are being signed in good fash
ion, but in practically all cases they
are signed by paid officials whose heads
are endangered by q refusal to sign
and by brewers agents and others IN
terested in larger sales Of the bever-
ages they want dispensed. All the
moral, religious and educational
bodies can be relied on to speak with
no uncertain sound on this subject
Men of conviction are not to be quoted
by a sheer and the officials are reck-
oning without their host if they sup
pose they are going to quiet the moral
sentiment of the nation by repeating
a law that they have tried to put to
shame by wretched enforcement.

TESTIMONY ALL IN.
Mr.. Hanna Begins Argument For the
Government.

Government
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The Schley
court of inquiry reached the argument
stage at the beginning of the afternoon
session yesterday. The morning sit
ting was devoted to listening to Adj
lniral Schley and Captain Sigsbee In
making corrections of their testimony
which had been given previously and
the introduction by Judge Advocate
Lclnly of numerous documents bearing
upon different phases of the inquiry.
Admiral Schlcy did not make any ma.
tcrial additions to his previous state.
ments. but devoted himself largely to
the clearing up of ambiguous points in
his evidence. The opening speech Of
the argument in the case was made in
behalf of the government by Mr. f.. i.
Hanna assistant to the judge advO-
cate. He began his presentation of the
case few minutes after the court con-
-vcncd at . o'clock. and when the court
adjourned two hours later he had not
covered more than half of the ground
involved in the controversy
Mr.. Hanna began his argument, TAX
ing up the departure of the flying
squadron from Hampton Roads and
following it briefly to Charleston, Key
West and Cienfuegos.
| On the run of the squadron the
Brooklyn had slowed down several
times, Mr. Hanna said. He told of the
arrival of the squadron off Cienfuegos
on the night of May 81 and asserted
that it must have been considerable
distance away from the harbor en-
trance. as the log of the Texas showed
that she steamed fourteen and a half
knots the next morning before getting
near the port while the Brooklyn's log
showed that she steamed inward at
that time an hour and a half at ten
knots speed before stopping off Glen
fuegos
As for the failure of McCalla on that
occasion to communicate to Schley the
secret code arrangement with the in
surgents by which Schley could have
ascertaned that the Spanish fleet was
not there. Mr.. Hanna quoted Captain
McCalla's statement that when he met
the flying squadron he did not know
Illul NtIltN WIS SOlllS W Nlthl w -'''
but suspected that he was bound for
the Caribbean sea in search of Cervera.
Taking up the failure of Schley to
find out whether the Spanish fleet was
in CienfucgoS. Mr.. Hanna discussed
this subject briefly in connection with
the reasons given by Schley for believ-
ing that Ccrvera was there.
Mr.. Hanna read the McCalla memo
randum and contended that by the re-
ceipt of this memorandum on the morn
ing of May 23, its receipt on that date
being admitted, Schley had informa-
ton in the neighborhood of Cienfuegos
that there was a good landing place at
a cove two miles to the west of the har-
Dor entrance. Yet nothing was done.
Mr.. Hanna had not finished when the
court adjourned.
