Castro's Latest Move.

President Castro's resignation Is surpris-
ing and vet. when viewed in the light of
the events Immediately following It. there
seems to have been good reason LOT It's
submission. 1t precipitated events In ven
ezueIa, led to the expression of the conn-
dence of the national legislature. and dis
closed the necessity for unity on the part
of the factions which now expose the gov
eminent to foreign intrigue There can
be little doubt, according to reliable &C
counts of the state of affairs in Venezuela,
that Castro has never been popular. He
has lacked the qualities which appeal to
the show-loving Venezuelans. The revolu-
ton which has ragged from the very hour OF
his triumph a few years ago stands for
those qualities which Castro lacks, ana
probably there would be pronounced public
rejoicing If In the ordinary course OF events
the present government were overturned
and the Matos party installed. But Castro
has undoubtedly held his people well IN
hand during these last trying days of for
eign assault, and for at least one action
he deserves well of his people the selec-
ton of Minister Bowen at the instance OF
the foreign residents and leading merchants
Of Caracas. as his direct representative IN
the negotiations which resulted In the rails
ing of the blockade and the settlement OF
the claims. Yet the Venezuelans are VIOLA
tile and of short memory for good works.
so that it Is an evidence Of new reign
OF far-sightedness on their part that this
resignation has evoked so prompt rejec-
ton by the congress and signs of a deter
mination to stand firmly by the party In
power despite the allurements of the revo-
lutfonists.
The affair cannot fail to strengthen Cas-
tro abroad, as 1t demonstrates that he has
his legislature behind him. Just what he
will say on Thursday, when he is to pre-
sent another message. suggesting solu-
ton of the present difficulties of the coun-
try remains for speculation. Meanwhile
it is interesting to reflect upon Castro's
outspoken charge that the Germans were in
negotiations with Matos the revolutionary
leader. 1t Is significant that during the
blockade the German warships left two
ports open, and that while this condition
continued the revolutionists did not lack
for munitions of war. Then a shifting OF
the blockading squadron occurred and the
English vessels covered that portion of
the coast and the stream of supplies into
the insurgent camps ceased suddenly. This
fact Is vouched for by special correspond
ent of the New York Outlook. and is cited
by him as only one of several indications
to show direct connection between Ger
many and the revolutionists.

Atrocious Vandalism.

Severe punishment should be administered
to the men who the other night wrecked
the old Deadwood coach when it is clearly
proved that they are guilty. Such van
dalism cannot possibly be. excused and
should be so severely visited with the pen
aIties of the law that a repetition is not
likely to be attempted These men, &C
cortiing to the reports, deliberately de-
stroyed relic of the greatest interest,
connecting link in the phases Of this coun-
try's development. 1t had been carefully
preserved government exhibit-al-
though rather thoughtlessly exposed to the
reach of vandals of late-and should have
been saved for all time. Already 1T was
regarded with keen interest by the genera
ton which has known only the modern
means of transportation. A romance clings
to, 1t as a part of the story of the conquest
OF the great west. While 1t can be duplicat
ed. Its historic value Is in large measure
destroyed.
But apart from the intrinsic or sentiment
al or historical value of the old coach. the
spirit in which 1t was attacked was in the
last degree reprehensible. Such men as
these who played havoc with the coach
would smash cases in museum to steal
priceless souvenirs. or would smear tar over
statues. or chip fragments from carvings.
They are the sort to poke holes In can
vases In a gallery. deface inscriptions on
tombs and defile with obscene writings the
walls of historic houses. They have no
reverence for any sentiment or historic sug-
gestion. They are hardly elevated above
barbarians, and only drastic punishment
can affect them. The laws unfortunately
class this offense too moderately. and pro-
vide too mild a remedy. There should be
some special form of punishment for van
dals. such as Imprisonment within cages
on the public thoroughfares. with placards
announcing their offense and exposing them
to the contempt of the multitude. Perhaps
In addition. these particular offenders might
be set to work. in full view of the crowds,
repairing the battered vehicle with which
they had such sport the other night

Mr.. Teller on Presidential Candidates.

Senator Teller. now full-fedged demo-
crat. has been interviewed at Buffalo on the
subject of presidential candidates. The
favorite in the west. he says, is Judge Par
ker, who is regarded as "a safe, conserva-
tive and high-minded man" But Mr.. Teller
is informed that Judge Parker does not
care for the nomination. preferring his
place on the bench.
On the subject of Mt. Cleveland Mr.. Teller
says:
well. we do not think that Mr. Cleveland
Is q possibility. In fact the people out
there do not believe he wants the nominal
ton. 1t looks to me II Mr.. Cleveland
was after something. The recent renewed
activity on his part indicates IL. But the
people. especially in the SOUTH never will
stand for Mr.. Cleveland. He could not Sc
cure the delegates and he could not get the
nomination II he wanted 1t, and II he did
get the nomination he would be defeated"
Is Mr. Teller, sure of his information about
the south? Has he canyassed the subject
with representative southern men? Or is
, he simply reasoning from the fact that for
eight years now Mr.. Cleveland has been
very unpopular in the south? In no other
section of the country as an experienced
politician like Mr.. Teller should know, Is
sentiment quite so fickle as to political IA
yorites- For nearly two years following the
upset of November. 1883. Mr. Cleveland was
quite as unpopular In the south as he has
ever at any time been since, and yet at
Chicago in 1892 the south voted enthusiastic
caiiy for Mr.. Cleveland's third nomination
Convince the south that Mr.. Cleveland can
win next year. and the Parker boom will
vanish like mist before the sun. The ex-

: Disorders. in Honduras.

A dispatch from Dallas, Texas, records
the return to his home there from IAN ex-
tended business trip to the interior of Hon
duras'' Of General w. /. Cabeil, described
as IAN old West Pointer and a conspicuous
confederate brigadier,'' and gives some OBJ
servations of his as to the conditions OF
affairs in that country. Says General Cabell:
"a reign of terror prevails and alternate
bands of revolutOnists and government
forces are roaming over the country. Sew
eral severe engagements have been fought.
with results about standof: but nothing
approa ching a decisive battle has been won
by either side. The interests of foreigners
are in jeopardy every moment and Ameri-
can citizens are suffering severe losses
"I see only one sensible course for this
government to pursue. President Roosevelt
should at once send commission of COM
petent, energetic and positive men down
there to try to make peace between the fac
tons and restore order. Then this govern
ment should take such measures as the
situation justifies to establish permanently
a stable government
General Cabell did not say as much In
direct language. but he left the impression
that stable government, from his v1ew-
point, might include protectorate.'
Is not this rather strange talk to pro-
coed from an American Of education and
position? AS lamentable as the situation in
Honduras may be. what authority would
President Roosevelt have to interpose in
the manner suggested? Who would recog-
nize commission appointed for such a
purpose? How could it hope "to make
peace between the factions and restore
order?" And why should the United
States undertake ito establish permanently
a stable government" in Honduras?
Were we to. take such a step we should
q ;x,xv0 ~voH
stop then at Honduras? Why not notify all
Central and South American countries
where Americans are resorting and trading
that their governments must be stable" or
the United States will interpose? Why not
make the. Commission Of competent, ener-
getic and positive men, permanent body,
with rowing inclinations to drop in wherever
disorder exists, try the case and make re-
port to the authorities here?
The United States in entering into rela-
tions with Colombia in the matter Of the
isthmian canal gives formal assurances to
it's southern neighbors of a continuation of
its policy of friendship. It has no designs
on their territory. 1t has no Intention of in
terfering with their domestic affairs. 1t
wishes for all of them stable government
and prosperity. But 1t could not afford. If
invited, to establish such a government for
any of them, and, unlimited. 1t would not
dream Of attempting such a thing. 1t will
consider the just grievances Of its citizens
wherever they may be, but 1T has no thought
of setting up or pulling down governments
for their benefit in any quarter Of the globe.
General Cabell should readjust his thinking
cap, and upon cooling off from his expe-
rience in Honduras consider that his home
government is not in the "protectorate'
business. E-.-s@

The Spring "Equinoctial'p

Officially, that is to say astronomically,
spring began last Saturday at two minutes
past six in the afternoon. Thus these days
belong to what is popularity styled the ''equi-
noctial' season. Science has Of late been
combating the notion that storms are likely
to be unusually prevalent whenever the
''sun crosses the line" The lay public is
loathe to reiinquish its belief In the equinoc-
tial storms. especially that which 1t antici-
pates and seeks to Identity In late Septem-
Der, when summer ceases and autumn be-
gins. Therefore 1t win probably for long

minds today there is no doubt whatever
that the copious rains now prevalent are OF
this same type. of equinoctial disturbance
Certainly the rainfall Is unusually heavy
and the atmospheric conditions make the
precipitation all the more disagreeable. II
winter is now past and spring is actually
here 1t makes but little difference whether
these drenching showers of the past three
days are legitimately to be ciassed as equi-
nootial or are merely plain storms. The
season is SO far advanced that any severe
frost Is sure to be destructive. so that 1t Is
to be hoped that these rains may be safely
