HORSEHAIR SNAKES.
Peculiar Habits of These ThreadlilSe
Little Serpents.

, The "horsehair snakes" are small.
flesh colored mites which live princi
paIly in stagnant water. After going
through various transformations they
come to the surface of the water in the
shape of very slender. purplish looking
threads. When they reach this last
stage, they leave the water and work
their way up the stalks and leaves of
aquatic plants. when opportunity af,

those who delight to delve in natures

very far from water by the insects
which they encountered during life
make their way back to the ponds to
lay their eggs. They then wrap them
selves around the eggs, which soon
hatch into the little flesh colored mites
mentioned in the opening. About this
time the parent 'snake" dies to make
room for it's progeny.

worthy of you. and they are entitled to the
support of all men who are proud Of what
you did.
These younger comrades Of yours have
fought under terrible difficulties. and have
received terrible provocation from very
cruel and very treacherous enemy. Under the
strain of these provocations l deeply de-
plore to say that some among them have so
far forgotten themselves as to counsel and
commit, in retaliation, acts of cruelty The
fact that for every guilty act committed by
! one of our troops a hundred acts of far
greater atrocity have been committed by
the peaceable and law-abiding natives who
are friendly to us, cannot be held to excuse
any wrongdoer on our side. Determined
and unswerving effort must be made and Is
being made, to find out every instance Of
barbarity on the part of our troops, to pun
ish those guilty of it, and to take if possi-
Bile, even stronger measures than have al
ready been taken to minimize or prevent
Evening star., 1902-05-30

any such cruelties should have been COM
mitted, no matter how rarely. no matter
under what provocation, by American
troops But they afford far less justifica-
tion for a general condemnation of our
army than these lynchings afford for the
condemnation of the communities in which
they have taken place. In each case it is
well to condemn the deed. and it is well
also to refrain from including both guilty
and innocent In the same sweeping con-
demnation.
In every community there are people who
commit acts of well-nigh inconceivable hor-
ror and baseness. If we fix our eyes only
upon these individuals and upon their acts
and if we forget the far more numerous
citizens Of upright and honest life and blind
ourselves to their countless deeds of wis
easy enough to condemn the community
There is not a city in this land which We
could not thus condemn if we fixed our eyes
purely upon its police record and refused
Evening star., 1902-05-30

the occurrence of all such instances in the
future.
From time to time there occur in our
country, to the deep and lasting shame Of
our people, lynchings carried on under cir
cumstances Of inhuman cruelty and bar
barity-a cruelty infinitely worse than any
that has ever been committed by our troops
in the Philippines; worse to the victims,
it. The men who fail to condemn these
lynchings, and yet ciamor about what has
been done in the Philippines, are indeed
guilty of neglecting the beam in their own
eye while taunting their brother about the
mote in his. Understand me- These lynch
ings afford US no excuse for failure to stop
cruelty in the Philippines. Every effort is
being made, and will be made, to minimize
the chances of cruelty occurring
But keep in mind that these cruelties in
the Philippines have been wholly excep-
tional, and have been shamelessly exag-
Serated We deeply and bitterly regret that
