If Admiral Evans fleet does nothing
in regard to Colombia and returns to
Cavite as now directed, it will have
still made a record which will be help
full in backing up American diplomacy.
In naval matters mobility is power as
well as structural integrity and gun
equipment. That a big fighting fleet
can be sent from one distant point to
another in a few days time arriving
with everything in repair and ready
for another long trip with possible war
at the end Of it, is fact to be taken
account of by those who would chal-
lenge the supremacy Of the United
States. Many nations have fleets that
they don't, and perhaps can't, do much
with, and the sea-going efficiency of
which is doubtful; but the United
States has pretty conclusively proved
by this time that it's navy is thor

The JONES VERDICT.

The verdict of mot guilty" in the
garded as a miscarriage of justice.
Those who have followed the evidence
with the intellectual ability to sift it
which serves, under our jury system,
to disqualify them from passing Off
cialIy on such cases, feel sure that
Jones killed Mrs. Parmenter while
sane enough to know the difference
between right and wrong; and that
this fact ought, in fair play to society.
to be enough to secure his conviction
and punishment When a man is sane
to the extent that, after killing a per-
son he hates, he seeks to escape and
shows clear head in picking his
route and utilizing such chances as
offer themselves, and even schemes
adroitly to get the reward of arrest
for his family, he is enough of a moral
agent to be responsible for his acts.
1t may be admitted that Jones was
ance wheel, especially when he was
piled with liquor; but everybody who
employed him in the generation which
elapsed from the time he had the fever
which the defence said W, the begin
ming in him Of insanity, regarded the
man as responsible for what he did.
No one had tried to send him to the
asylum; he had had no treatment for
mental weakness he was with us from
day to day as man among men.
If, all this time, he was out of his
head, character privileged to do
murder and escape the consequences,
then society, which is full OF such
people, is in hourly peril of its life
When man wants to commit murder
all he needs to do is to act strangely,
prove that he was i'll in childhood, and
then go ahead and slay. An accom-
modating jury of the sort that never
reads newspapers or forms opinions or
knows right from wrong, may be
counted on to do the rest. This, in
brief, is the lesson of the Jones verdict,
as the intelligent public interprets it,
and it points to a fatal weakness in
our Jury laws; a weakness which is
responsible for, the disparity, in the
United States, between some ten thou
sand murders per annum and some
three or four hundred legal executions.
Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court
has lately attacked the American jury
system on these and other grounds and.
has proposed, in its place, a perma-
nent bench of jurors, organized Hike a
bench Of judges, out of like material
and as well paid. In ancient times
trial of offences was held before the
wise men of a city; in our. Improved
civilization it is likely to take place
before twelve of the most irresponsible
men to be found in the lower levels OF
citizenship; or if not twelve. at least
a majority out of twelve. Because
of this the law has little terror for a
defended criminal. 1t even pass
es a Jones, red-handed and acute of
brain, into the ranks of injured inno-
cence. Who is the next murderer to
be sent free with clean bill of moral
health? Perhaps another one who, in
mere insanity trial, could clear him
self as easily as Jones could from any
suspicion of mental weakness, but
who, in criminal trial, would cite his
share of the common infirmities of
men to prove himself mentally ire
sponsible.

DRAGA.

Draga dwelt with Alexander, King;
Fair she was and he was young and
ardent.
Love hath ever laid its best founda-
tons,
Bird-like, in secluded, quiet places;
I Thrones, exposed.to all the winds Of
fortune,
Grant it but a brief and perilous
lodging.
Yet with honied words and silent
pressure,
Hand in hand and all the pretty
follies
Lovers play at, they were wondrous
busy.
Eyes had he for none but his enchan-
tress.
Other beauties We'd for royal
favor
Failure famed resentment into fury.
Hatred Kisses before them like a
serpent;
Scandal spun its dusky web around
them.
They were happy and the Gods
immortal
Envied them and slew them as they
slumbered.
Life they lost-vain, fleeing; and
unwilling,
Won instead a crown of fame
eternal.
See, upon the shore of Loves
Elysium,
Antony and Cleopatra greet them!
Toll and loss and at the end
oblivion
These are yours and mine, the COM
mon portion;
Only those escape who, greatly
daring,
Hazard all for love and, losing, win.
Let the pure condemn thee; let the
faultless
Hurl their puny pebbles; I, a sin
ner,
Lay flower upon the tomb of
Draga,
She who dwelt with Alexander,
King.

is made. The encouragement has
stated that real estate sold for taxes
may not be redeemed, but that the
title passes to the purchaser in fee

if you have any property likely to

refrain from calling attention to

done by the st. Louis, Brownsville

begun by the Arkansas Pass The

its route and BUY ITS RIGHT OF wAYl
But before it can proceed very far
it will have to submit to reduc-
ton Of it capital stock from S., 000,-

financial strength at about one-fifth
of that Of the st. Louis, Browns
vile and Mexico Co. 1t will have
to ISSUE BONDS to raise funds to
build the road. Its connections are
decidedly of less advantage than
the Lott road. 1t will not extend
further than the Rio Grande. 1t
will take the Arkansas Pass fully
twelve months to do the preliminary
work now already done by the Lott
road, which will throw it at least
one year later to reach Brownsville
Notwithstanding these obstacles,
which Mr.. Monserrate says they
will overcome, it is question of
veracity that looms up like
mountain between the Arkansas Pass
officials and the real people of
Brownsville. Already We known
that they have not hesitated to
distort facts and tell absolute
falsehoods in order to stop action
on the Lott enterprise; and this be-
ing the record of the Arkansas Pass
company thus far, what might we
not eFx.Vt of it later? By their
mend e BUS misrepresentation of
facts they have placed the company
entirely without the pale of
confidence of the people of Browns
vile. They will have to establish a
reputation for veracity ard integri-
ty first before they will be able to
obtain further confidence and re-
spect from the people OF the Browns
vile country.
But comparisons are odious-and
unfair to the st. Louis, Brownsville
and Mexico railroad--unfair and
unjust to compare it with the Aran-
sas Pass.
