AN AMERICAN FORT ON CANA.
DIAN SOIL.

Chicago Chronicle: Some queer
plumbers have been made at times even
by the most careful of men, not ex-
cepting the engineers attached to the
army of the United States. Every
body may know that the government at
Washington once began to build fort
on British soil. This is now Fort
Montgomery at the foot of Lake Cham
plain, just northeast Of Rouse's Point,
N. Y. After the war of 1872 it was
thought advisable to guard the en-,
trance of the lake and it was planned
to build what was then considered a
great fort, carrying three tiers of guns,
After the work was well under way
it was discovered that, owing to an err
ror of early surveyors, the forty-fifth
parallel, then the accepted boundary
between Canada and New York. passed
south of the fort. Work, of course was
suspended until in 1912 the territory
was restored to the United States. The
fort was dubbed "Fort Blunder,"s and
though it was finished after the boun-
larry question was settled by the Web
ster-Ashburton treaty, it has never
BEEN manned by more than enough to
keep it in order and never armed. At
present a sergeant of marines is sta
toned there, whose duty it is to raise
and lower the flag.

THE STATE ASSESSMENT.

Glidden Graphic: Some of the coun-
ties of the state have made a fair esti-
mate and have sought to comply fair
ly with the law. Calhoun is certainly
a notable example of this class. But
others are prevaricating, deceiving and
scheming to shirk sponsibility. Their
ambition seems to be to attain the low
est rather than the fairest valuation.
Such action on the part of a county or
an individual is just as reprehensible
as it is on the part of railroad. There
can be no double standard of morals
in taxation any more than there can
be double standard in any other line,
And those communities which are
striving for the lowest instead of the
fairest valuation are making a grave
mistake. In the first place they show
low grade of moral sentiment or
rather an entire absence Of this prin.
ciple. The example is pernicious in ev-
cry way. 1t furnishes excuse for a
scramble to secure advantage in which
every correct principle is set at
naught. Language is scarcely ade.
auate to condemn such pernicious prac-
tees.
There has been and is a strong de
mand that railroad assessments be
made to comply with the law-one-

feeling of love and respect for his
country to turn over the files of Eng
fish papers and note some of the let
tiers printed in regard to lynching in
the United States. For instance, we
find in the Chronicle letter suggest.
ing that there was nothing more dis.
gushing in the Kishenev outrage, in
fact, not SO much, as there was in de.
tails of the Delaware lynching. This
correspondent urged that, if the United
States was not able to bring the often.
ders to justice and secure their proper
punishment, at least a protest should
be made by civilized European nations
against the existence of such condi-.
tons. Another correspondent, writing
on the same subject, says that the
United States has furnished an exam
pie of how the savagery of 800 years
ago can be thrust into the civilization
of the present age. Unfortunately
there is no opportunity to deny the
truth of these charges, and, while
we protest against outrages in other
countries, we have within our own Dor
ders crimes perpetrated !. by lawless
mobs, that, happening in Turkey or II
China, would call for a rebuke from
the civilized world, and possibly
threats of armed Intervention by Other
nations.

IT NEEDS FIXING.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Iowa's
plan for caring for dipsomaniacs is
seriously in need Of fixing. The ex-
perience of Pottawattamie county off
cials in trying to carry out its provis-
ions furnish abundant evidence of that
fact. Nearly every inebriate who has
been sent to the state hospitals from
this county has escaped, and other
wise given the authorities here and
elsewhere great lot of trouble. One
rum-soaked individual in particular
has made his fourth escape only few
days ago, and Saturday notification
was received that two other Council
Bluffs inebriates had followed his mi
quitous example.
The senate adopted the scheme for
reforming men addicted to the drink
habit before it was ready for it. The
law was passed without thorough in
vestigation of methods of caring for
these unfortunates, and no special pro-
visions were made for putting it into
operation. The courts and the hos
pital were alike at sea when they were
hrst called upon to enforce it's terms,
and there has been more or less doubt
and uncertainty about the plan ever
since. Especially are the hospitals for
the insane perplexed with the problem
that has thus been forced upon them
Without proper warning or preparation
and they are now striving to deal with
patients for whom they have little
time or place. The state is in the
drunkard reforming business without
drunkard reforming facilities, and that
IS the sum and substance Of the entire
trouble.
The present law also undertakes too

sons in the United States supposed
that he would accept such post as
this if 1t were offered to him. The
ex-president's tastes do not run in the
direction of pedagogy.
But how about the proposition
which few friends of his are still
making that he accept the nomination
for president of the United States?
Mr.. Cleveland has said nothing def
mite on this point, although he has
had lots of provocation to do so. The
corporals guard Of fourth nomination
boomers keep up their cackle for his
candidacy in 1904, though they have
lost their air of confidence. They still
talk of him as a desirability, though
they have quit mentioning him as a
probability. The threats which the
Bryanfte papers have been making
against him show them that if he
would get the nomination in 1904 he
would be likely to be as far behind
in the electoral college as Bryan was
in 1900.
Inc republican papers will keep on
mentioning the Cleveland matter be-
cause they want it. to remain before
the country until the conventions
meet. The more democratic papers
urge Cleveland's candidacy the worse
it will be for the democratic party.
There will not be the faintest chance
for the two or three factions of the
democracy to get together so long as
the Cleveland red flag is TAINTED in
the face of the Bryanite bull. The re-
publicans could easily beat the demo-
mo- NV he
united. They can do it still easier if
the democrats keep apart. An excel
lent plan to keep them apart is for
the foolish Cleveland boomers to con-
tinue their clatter. For partisan rea-
sons the republicans may be relied
on to help along the Cleveland fourth
nomination propaganda. A bare ma
jority in the electoral college would
elect the republican candidate, but
the republicans are not going to reject
a two-thirds majority when some of
the Cleveland boomers seem determin-
ed to give it to them.

or after a demand not duly made in &C.
cordance with the article and therefore
not acecded to. the law is violated, the
act is a 'trespass, and it is the right as
we'll as, in general, the duty OF the
commander, (who owes it to his COM
mand to protect them from illegal seiz-
ure and the United States to maintain
it's just authority, to retake the pris-
oner from the custody of the civil Off
Gals and return him to his former
status. In SO doing the commander is
entitled and properly required to en-
ploy such military force as may be
suitable and efficient to effect such
purpose in an orderly manner; but be-
fore resorting to this means, he will
properly call upon the civil authorities
to return the prisoner, allowing them a
reasonable time for the purpose, and
if he has any reason to question the
policy of summary action, he will first
seek instruction from the secretary of
war" (Winthrop's Military Law, p.

lection. so long as they continue in the
faithful discharge of their duty. This
duty is first in point of time, and high
est in point of obligation. This article
(59th) gives him no authority to with
draw the protection and deliver over
his men TO others, except in the case
which it describes" Apparently in
the case cited by the Ell Paso Times
the circumstances were such as to
make General Young's duty plain to
him, and he acted promptly and eff
GENTLY, as he always does. 1t is even
held that an accused officer or soldier
cannot properly surrender himself to

, the course of civil Justice, it is not for
him to decide whether it is proper for
him to do so but for the commander
alone.
The questions arising under article
SO are not questions between the civil
and military authorities, but between
the national and the state or municipal
authority. AS the supreme court has
held (21 Howard 576), 1.-THE powers of
the general government and of the
state, although both exist and are eX-
ercised within the same territorial linn
its, are YET separate and distinct sover-
eighties acting separately and inde--
pendently of each other within their
respective spheres. And the sphere of
action appropriate to the United States
is as far beyond the reach of the jul
dicial process issued by a state judge
or a state court as if the line of divis.
ion was traced by landmarks and mon
uments visible to the eye" The army,
presenting as it does the national all.
thority, is bound to maintain that au-
thority where it is not made plain
that the local jurisdiction controls.
Military authority does not extend it's
protection in the same degree to those
on furlough or leave of absence. 1t is
in the power of the civil authority to
arrest such persons under the condi-
tons governing civilians and without
application to the military authorities.
they are substantially in the same po-
|sition before the law as any person not
in the military service, and equally re-
sponsible to the civil authorities for
any offense against the civil law. We
have taken this occasion of this criti-
cism upon General Young to call at
tention to these features of law as it
would appear, from what we see in the
daily papers, that they are not always
nderstood.-Army and Navy Journal.
