A certain Englisbman by birth
who is an American by force of
circumstances has been in this
country long enough to absorb the
American idea of humor. Last
summer he was in London on a
visit and happening to have bust
ness with man on an upper floor
of tall building took the Gift
to reach his office. The elevator
was one of those excessively de-
liberate British affairs, and it's
snail-like progress annoyed the
Americanized Briton. The only
other occupant of the car was a
middle aged Engljshman, with a
manner of peculiarly English seri-
BUSINESS. The man from America
ventured to address him.
Il think I could make a great
improvement in this lift he said
The Englishman looked serious
ly interested.
"HOw?" he asked
why the other man went on.
"Td make it go faster by simple
little arrangement. I'd stop the
lift altogether and move the build
ing up and down.
The Englishman looked slightly
more interested.
"How?'' he asked.-Ex.

LABOR disturbances in Barcelona Spain, have
reached dangerous point during the past week.
While the trouble is limited to one city or dis
tric there appears to be danger of it spreading
large portion of the kingdom and paving the way
for an anarchist outbreak of large proportions At
this distance and with the meagre reports furnished
by the press, it is difficult if not impossible to state
definitely the cause of the trouble, but there
be little doubt that the working people have
some just cause for grievance. No grievance is
great enough, however, to justify them in the pro-
ceedings of last week. which were anarchistic in
the extreme and resulted in murder and arson The
government has proclaimed martial-law in and
around Barcelona, very necessary precaution, and
if the rioting is not queed within few days state
of affairs such as France experienced during the
reign of terror would not be surprising.

ONE of the arguments advanced against the
indetermnate sentence is that it is apt to result in
Unequal punishment for like offenses; that one man
will be released after short term of imprisonment,
for instance while another undergoing servitude for
the same offense will be compelled to remain in
prison for long time But is this any more likely
to happen under the indeterminate sentence than
under the time sentence? The MIRROR believes not
It believes that the ends of justice will be served bet
ter by the former than by the latter In address
on this subject, incorporated in recent bulletin of
the Iowa State Board of Control. Warden Wofer
replied to the foregoing objection to the indeter
inmate sentence as follows:
Gas for the danger Of inequality Of punishment
think it is more fancied than real Those familiar
with the comparative inequality of sentences for the
same crime in different states, and even in different
localities in the state under the present system
must admit that if the system is right it is not adj
ministered with anything like even handed Justice
In state given crime may be punished by a
two years imprisonment, and in another by life
sentence. The comparative difference in sentences
for the crime in the state, in the
same locality, is frequently relatively great
recall instance Of two in the city of Detroit
Michigan, where sentenced for nine years.
and the other for three months, for the crime
[ received and had charge of both, they having been
committed about the same time, but by different
courts. The man who had the longer sentence
the less criminal Of the two
We don't have to look beyond the borders Of our
own state, nor beyond the walls of this institution,
in order to find just great inequalities in
the administration of justice, as the above men
toned; SO that argument when advanced against
the indeterminate sentence loses it's point. The
MIRROR does not believe this form of admins
tering justice to be cure-all, but it does be-
ieve it to be long step in the right direction-a
step that would be beneficial to all concerned both
to the offender and to society. For after all is said
and done, the principal point to be considered is
this: Does it pay to release man who will at once
become menace to society, and does it pay to keep
a man in confinement who is capable of being good
citizen?

erstwhile contributor, Cole Younger. He says
that Cole, assisted by the enterprising Mr. Bidde of

JAMES R. KEENE showed that he had pretty
good idea of charity when he gave $4,000 for the
relief of the poor in New York city, suffering from
the severe storm of last week. Colleges, libraries
and such gifts acceptable and count but it is the
thoughtfulness and practbiity of acts such as Mr..
Keene's that reach the hearts of those in need of
charity.

AT LAST the Schley controversy is ended.

of the court of inquiry, censures and
mends that the whole matter be reegated to the past
The president declines to any Of the findings
of the court; he says the fight captains battle;
that Schey did his part ably and bravely; that the
honor belongs to no one man, but is divided among
them all, and that the credit for the plan of the
battle belongs to Admiral Sampson.

But there is as we have said. little Joker

.'churian agreement or by declarations previous

is to impute to any country vloiauon OF treaty

guaranteed not by this treaty. but rather by the

New-York tribune., 1902-04-28
THE MANCHURTAN JOKER"

A fine specimen of the diplomatic Joker" ap-
pears in the recently concluded Manchurian
treaty between Russia and China, or, if not in
that instrument appended TO it The terms Of
the treaty have already been published, and
seem quite unobjectionable. Russia abandons.
tacitly her pretensions TO commercial and
financial monopoly of the three provinces, and
pledges herself TO withdraw her troops from
the lower part of Moukden in six months. from
the rest Of Moukden and from Kirin in year,
and from HeLung- -kiang in year and half.
As the Russian troops are withdrawn Chinese
troops will take their place. Russia will sur
render the Shan-Hai-Kwan railroad to its own
ers, and China will complete it and control it.
China will maintain native police guards
throughout the provinces. excepting along the
Russian railroad from Siberia down to Dalny,
which latter will remain under exclusive Rus
sian control
These provisions are just and reaSonable-un-
less with the exception of the latter and Il
comparison of them with what originally
proposed shows strikingly the result OF the
Anglo-Japanese treaty and of the American
note to the Russian Government. The original
treaty was an intolerabe attempt at outright
spoliation not only of China but also of other
nations indubitable rights and interests in
China. The new treaty recedes from such de-
signs leaves Manchuria to China, and leaves
the commercial door of Afanchuria open TO all
the world OF course, ii does not deny Rms
sia's undoubted intention ultimately to absorb
Manchuria. On the contrary ii provides for
and facilitates her doing so by confirming her
title to military control of the Chinese Eastern
Railroad which is in fact Russias transSi-
berian line. 1t postpones the day of actual
spo!iation. however and renders il possible for
that spoliation to be made more difficult by an
influx OF American and other foreign interests.
