II appears that the forthcoming
pardon OF Mrs. Maybrick from the
British prison in which she has lcSn
iRCa~Cerated for more than thirteen
years upon conviction 81 having poi
soned her husband. is not SO much an
act of grace or of courtesy 10 the
United States as il is one Of custom.
In Great Britain. il seems il is the
custom. where there is ground for
doubt OF the guilt OF a convicted per
son, to grant a pardon at the axpira-
ton OF fifteen years servitude. There
is a doubt in the case of Mrs May
brick, though the British authorities
have always held ii 70 be a .nebulous
one. The determined refusals that have
heretofore met the many efforts 10 Sc
cure the pardon and release of the
woman are characteristic of John
Bulls administration OF justice. The
British Will not permit sentiment, or
social position. or wealth. to interfere
with the punishment of offenders
against the law. They have great
faith in their law and their courts.
ana it is a rare instance in which the
finding of a court is set aside by
the representatives Of the crown. This
unyielding enforcement Of the laws
makes English laws the most feared
and respected of any in the world.

THE MARINE HOSPITAL.

The dispatch the Morning News pub
lished from Washington a day or two
ago, announcing that as yet the archi-
tect of the Treasury Department had
taken no steps toward preparing plans
for the Marine Hospital that is to be
built In this city. was surprising and
disappointing. Some weeks ago it was
the understanding that plans We're be-
ing prepared, and that work on the
building would be begun very soon.
The delay, it seems, is due to the
failure of Surgeon General Wyman to
notify the architect of his views as
to the sort of a building that ought
to be erected. His failure to do this
is difficult to understand since he gave
out for publication the kind of build
ing he had decided upon.
In our dispatches the suggestion Is
thrown out that the delay is caused by
efforts that are being maden to have
the government purchase the balance
of the square of ground on which the
hospital is to be built. There can be
nothing in this suggestion, because Sur
geon General Wyman said that the
hospital would be built without any
regard to the question of acquiring the
additional part of the square.
1t really looks as if extraordinary eff
forts had been made in behalf of build
ings in other sections of the country.
and that the Savannah building
had been pushed aside to wait
for more convenient season.
We do not of course know
that such is the case, but it looks
strange, to say the least of it, that
nothing has been done in the way of
preparing plans in view of the promise
that was made not long ago that there
would be no delay in beginning the
building.
If there is much more delay in MAX
ing the plans the chances are that
nothing will be done in the matter be-
fore next fall. 1t was hoped that the
building would be begun this spring,
so that it would afford work for our
mechanics during the dull summer
months.

nm n,rnnn>r CHARGE

The rather abrupt way IN which Mv.
Root, the Secretary OF War. brushed
aside the charge made against Gen.
/ Wood by Estes g. Rathbone is the sub
I jet Of comment. Of course il Is well
( understood that Rathbone has no love
for Gen. Wood. who was largely re-
I sponsible for the charges brought
against him in connection with frauds
in the Havana pOsJoffice.
Il would be generally regretted II
Il should appear that there was a blot
! on the record Of Gen. Woods admin
/ istration IS Military Governor OF Cuba.
and It IS probable that an investigation
would show that the Rathbone charge
has no foundation.
The charge IN effect was that Gen
Wood received presents from men who
enjoyed the profits Of a great gambling
combine in Havana. The answer of
Gen. Wood was that the presents he
received were gifts from a delegation
of Spanish gentlemen But were these
Spanish gentlemen interested in the
profits Of the game known as Jai-Alai?
II is said that il was introduced into
Havana about eighteen months before
the close of the American military ad-
ministration It is a ball game, and
Gen. Wood and his aids were frequent
attendants at the place where the game
was played. The game itself is a min
or matter. The feature is the betting
on the players. 1t is claimed that the
game is. more demoralizing than any
other form of gambnng-so demoraliz-
ing that President Diaz drove it out OF
Mexico.
When the American administration
was Established in Cuba the lotteries
and all other forms of gaming were
suppressed. II will be recalled that the
suppression of cock fighting by Gen
Brooke was the subject of a great deal
Of comment, particularly in Havana.
where the suppression OF the sport Gre
ated much dissatisfaction.
1t is pointed out that even if the
Spanish gentlemen who gave presents
to Gen. Wood benefited by the game it
does not follow that the gifts were in
the nature of compensation for per-
hitting the game to exist in Havana.
because the municipal administration
had licensed it. On the other hand il
is said that Gen. Wood could have sup
pressed it if he had been disposed to
do so, since the municipal administra-
ton was responsive to his wish.
Perhaps it would have been better
If the Secretary of War had given the
charge careful consideration and made
a full statement of his finding The
points in doubt are whether the Span
ism gentlemen who made Gen. Wood
presents were benefciaries of the gam
bling game, and if so whether he was
responsible for the existence of the
game.

PREPARING ms SPEECHES.

The President is going to make his
nation for the presidency. The an
nouncement is made that it is his pur-
pose to make five carefully prepared
speeches during the trip. OF course
there will be other speeches, but they
will deal largely with local topics and
matters that present themselves from
time to time.
A few evenings ago the President had
a number of his advisers at the White
House, and they went carefully over
the points which the President, in
their opinion. ought to touch upon. OF
course a great deal is to be made of
the antitrust legislation of the last
Congress, though it isn't clear what
can be said in its favor that will do
the Presidents cause much good. Ger
tainly the two measures for the sup
preston of trusts which were enacted,
the Elkins bill and the Nelson amend
ment to the bill creating the Depart
ment of Commerce. have not been re-
garded with alarm by the trusts. In
deed, the better opinion seems to be
that they have done nothing more than
irritate the trusts a little.
The President cannot claim much in
connection with the Cuban reciprocity
treaty That was one of the great fea-
lures of his policy for the last Con-
gress, but that Congress did not ratify
the treaty and the extra session that
was called left it in as bad a shape as
it could be put. 1t has been ratified,
hut is not operative, and there is a
chance that it will never become eper-
alive.
Just what the President is going to
claim for his administration therefore
is not altogether clear. 1t is true that
he favored liberal appropriations for
the building/of new ships of war; and
his recommendation in that respect
was needed, but it is doubtful if that
full to him.
AS a matter of fact. however, the
outlook for his nomination is favora-
BILE. The great financial interests, per-
haps, are against him, but they will
not prove to be strong enough to de-
feat him. These interests have been
urging Senator Hanna, it is said, to
become a presidential candidate, but
he is not at all impressed by their eff
forts to bring him forward as the
H., II
old, and, besides, he does not see much
chance for success. Senator Fairbanks
has friends in the West, and, it is said
some in the South, but the talk in his
favor is not sufficiently strong and
general, to give him hope of getting
the nomination. Roosevelt feels sure OF
the nomination and it is certain that
he will talk that way during his West
ern trip.

President Roosevelt cannot crafty
