Hanna,s LOYALTY 20 FrIend.

Chicago Chronicle: The world has
heard with considerable interest. but
not unmiXed with a different kind OF
feeling of Senator Hanna's declara-
ton of purpose To stand true to his
friend Rathbone in his troubles with
the Cuban courts. Americans gener-
ally have a great deal of respect for
the man who refuses TO desert his
friend under fire All of them do
not regard his loyalty as entirely JUS
titled unless he can show that his
friend ought not to have been under
fire or was so without serious fault
of his own.
They admire the senator's loyalty
in a way. but they do not in any de-
gree sympathize with his declared
purpose to get his friend ont of the
consequences of the fire regardless
Of whether he deserved the fire or
not or merely because he. the senator,
chooses to say that he does not think
ne deserved il.
To take this attitude * TO declare
that personal friendship Is to be re-
garded as of higher obligation than
public law and public policy and the
safeguarding Of social order. all
combined. In any mere private indi-
vidual This would practically place
him on the same moral level with the
offender against law and public order
For man in the senator's position
81 is an attitude the more reprehensi-
bile in just the greater degree that his
rank as an official representative of
public law and safety is one of great
err responsibility than any private in
fIividuars- The senator will he wise

were charged with grave offenses in
another country. BY sending one of
them back from his refuge in this
country the United States admitted
that the nation had no rights i'm the
premises. What right can Senator
Hanna or any American have ia bring
any pressure TO bear on Cuba?
If he can prove Rathbone innocent
we will all admire and commend him

Although Germany has been max

DARING EMPRESS ROBBERY.

A very bold ard daring robbery,
worthy @; the James boys, was com
mitted Monday night at Z o'clock
near Branchville. Six men, some of
them BACKED, while the others wore
no disguise, held up the passenger
train between the Sc aud SO mile,
post. The engineer was ordered to
stop the train by some men on In e
tender. He failing to do so, they
fred several shots, one Of them going
through his cap. The fireman Jump
ed. The engineer stopped his engine.
The men made him tell them how TO
uncouple the train. He was than
made to proceed t. small station
ut SIS mile post, while the men, two
or three of them, entered the express
car and made the agsnt deliver the
money in the small safe, amounting
to about S25. He could not open the
large safe, and when they arrived at
the station wagon backed up to the
express car door and the safe was
rolled into it, in the meantime the
baggage car was riddled 'ith bullet
holes, the baggage master and flag
man narrowly escaping by hiding be
hind drumuner's trunks,
The engineer went back after his
train ard one OF the men rode a mile
Of the way with him and then got off
This is the third robbery OF trains
ut this point, the first robbery occur
ring on Dec. 1st, 1899, when about
81, 700 was secured, Barlow Warren
was tried for the robbery. 1t result
ed in a mistrial. Just before the
second trial was to come off Warren
met Tom Watson, one OF tho princi
pal witness, and shot him dead. War
rem has since been fugitive from
justice. On October, last, another
but unsuccessful attempt was made
to rob the express car at the same
place, by lone rohber. 1t is thought
is at the head OF this last
robbery. The Governor has offered q
reward of$4OO for the capture of the |
robbers, and detectives and blood |
hounds are after them.
This is possibly the most darinp
robbery that has ever occurred in
5his State, and shows that those who
'ook part in it are certainly desper-
ate characters, and we fear there will
)e trouble when they are run dowr
Ind an attempt to arrest them is
made. The party was tracked to tho
Gdisto river where it was found that
he big safe had been dumped into
he river. The safe was recovered
lnharmed and unopened. The thieves
re still at large.
What is getting the matter with
