THE RIGHT TERM

"A Lunatic at Large" is the way The New York Times heads an editorial on the apparently unexplninable act of the Russian admiral in firing on the fleet of English fishing boats. and the term fits very nicely until a better one may follow a fuller investigation of the act. Unless the commanding of- fcer of the Russian squadron was drunk, we can see no way of explain ing the incident, except on the theory that he Is a lunatic. and in either case he is certainly not a proper man to command a fleet in time of war. With the perfection of the modern search light system, it hardly seems possible that any sane officer, awake and sober. could have failed to ascertain the character of the fishing vessels. or that he did not have ample opportuni- Japanese torpedo boats. We are not sure that such a plea on his part would not be worse than to admit that he was drunk.
 It matters not what course either
 
 England or Russia may adopt, so far as this Admiral Rojesvensky Is con- cerned, for we don't see how he can explain or justify his action. Whether Russia makes satisfactory explanations and indemnity. or whether the two na- tions go to war over the incident, 1t doesn't seem possible that the Admi- ral can satisfy others that he is fit person to command a deet. He'd bet ter get a job driving a canal boat.
 And yet we do not know that there parently idiotic affair. The entire his- | tory of the war has shown up the na- val officers of Russia in a light not at all complimentary. They have shown their incapacity in every way that it could be shown. not only in their poor craftsmanship but even in the man are not being knocked about by the Japanese, they are running on their own torpedoes, or on the rocks and reefs in the harbors and on the coasts. Whether they are generally drunk. as one writer suggests, or whether their incorporate and licentious methods of life have made them almost imbeciles, we cannot say. but they have certainly made an indifferent record even be- fore this last break.

A DELEGATE POSITION.

The Memphis Commercial- Appeal sees no need of punishing the soldier who married a negress, as it thinks that union is punishment enough. If he remains in the army and the other soldiers refuse to associate with him, that would be punishment enough. if he has any pride about him. If he gets back to private life and his neigh bors and friends refuse to recognize his wife, he would feel 1t just as bad ly. In either case his position Is not to be envied.
 But 1t occurs to us that the Presi- dent is in the most embarrassing po- sition of any one connected with the affair. General Grant recommends that the miscegenationist, Smith. be dismissed for the good of the ser- vice." Grant Is a Republican and the son of Republican President. It is altogether probable that he voices the opinions and feelings of the Army. If that is true, a refusal by the adminis- tration to comply with his recommen-
  and through it to the people. Such refusal would be taken as an avowal that miscegenation is right and proper In the Army, and, inferentially, 1t is right and proper everywhere else. The refusal to dismiss Smith can be placed on no other ground than that his mar riage to negress was not improper. That confession would not be pleasant for white men and women. in or out Of the Army.
 On the other hand. to dismiss the man for the cause given will be a hard pill for the President to swallow. If he approves of Grants course. 1t must go out to the world that Smith was forced out of the Army because he married a negress. No other reason can be given, because it is well known that that is the ground assigned by the commanding General. Will not that have a dampening effect on the negroes everywhere? Roosevelt not only needs the colored vote, but he wants it. He expects them to be loyal to him because he has so often and 90 biatantly proclaimed his loyalty to them.
 What will they say. if he follows General Grants recommendation ? What can they say. but that he has acted the hypocrite and has gone back on his oft-repeated pledges to the solored race? They will charge, truth fully. that he proclaims himself g friend to the negro. and that he op- poses any favoritism or discrimination on account of color. but at the first op- portunity he finds to make good he goes back on his word and humiliates the entire colored race. If he does that before the election, can he expect the negroes to vote for him with any thing like unanimity or enthusiasm? If they go back on him, he stands a good :hance to lose some States that are aow counted as sure. It was real srueI in General Grant to spring such mine on him in the heat of the cam paign.

"Uneasy Lies the head that wears a crown '

a case would be carried to the United States Supreme CouIt, and we would then know whether the Thirteenth Amendment covers mobs, and if so, to what extent.
 The question is one that lawyers dis- agree over At first sight 1t would seem difficult to stretch the Thirteenth Amendment that far, but speculation Is unnecessary If the Supreme Court Is to have a case involving the weighty mat ter suggested by Judge Jones in his charge to the jury that has just been discharged.
 Newspapers far and near have dis cussed Judge Jones's charge, and in the South 1t is felt that if his views be sustained by the court of last resort. undue interference on the part of the general government in local affairs would follow. Such interference could be headed off by stopping mobs. If the worst come, public sentiment can at any rate put an end to Federal in- terference by simply restoring the su- premacy of law, something We should do in any event.
 We can readily keep the general government out by doing our full duty. The Huntsville lynching bids fair to become not only a historic case, but a turning point. We are about to turn away from anarchy to law and order. When we do that there will be no room for Federal interference.

Sizing Up Roosevelt.

Hartford Times.
 MT. Roosevelt went to the Republican National Convention in 1884 as an ard ent opponent of Blaine. to whom he de- scribed to his fellow delegates in that convention as corrupt and dangerous man. Then in a week he was support ing Blaine for President because he had got the party nomination. Mir. Roosevelt is a model politician. He never held an opinion or advocated a principle which he did not willingly abandon, if personal or party advant- age could be gained thereby. His re- cent course in advocating high protec- ton and opposing the lowering of any duty, no matter how oppressive. Is not ] more glaring instance of his readi- ness to forsake what he calls his prin- ciples, than dozen other things he has done. It Is no worse than the de- moralization which he has inflicted on the army by allowing personal pulls to interfere with the merit system It is no worse than his partnership with Ad- dicks in Delaware, and with Odell in New York. It Is no worse than the Panama trickery. MT. Roosevelt is merely "a very successful politician. ." He plays the game" He can turn the sharpest corner more quickly than the next man. The fact that he favors a measure today does not afford any reason for supposing that he will not be against 1t tomorrow. He may be trusted at all times to Took out for number one." Some people with no desire to compliment the peo- pie of this country have even called him the typical American

A WEAK DEFENCE.

The Sacramento Bee. trying to de. fend Roosevelt for his libels on past American statesmen. declares that If these were the honest opinions of His- torian Roosevelt. obtained after care full study and research, 1t was his duty to faithfully set them down."
 This is about the first paper we have seen to defend Roosevelt,s ef- forts at history-making. and it's de- fence is a weak one. To admit that he was honest in the opinions he has written of the earlier Presidents is to put very low estimate on his intel ligence. To give him credit for the learning and information his defend CTS claim is to put Q lower estimate on his fairness and honesty as a writ CT. In either case the less attempts made to defend him the better he should be pleased. if he has any con- science or sense of fairness and jus tice about him.
 It is significant that few of the Presidents followers care to refer to his writings, or make any attempt to defend them. The only attempt at de- fence that any of them make is to set up the plea of youth. and that Is g poor defence. He was 30 years of age and over, when he was busying him. self defaming some of the very best men who helped to make this govern -ment, and who not only helped toImake it, but to sustain and build 1t up. He was old enough to have had settled opinions and ought to have possessed more patriotism and genuine Ameri- canism than to have sent out such de- famatory histories. The best defen -e his friends can make Is by keeping si- lence.

NOT CONSISTENT.

| One of the most inconsistent express sions we have lately read Is this from The New York Mail: Grover Cleve- lands personality is so strong that what he may say is of little conse- quence." To our way of thinking the reverse of this Is true. It is his strong personality that makes what | ever he says so convincing and So read fly accepted, If he were a weak, va- ciliating and uncertain kind of man. 1 anything he might say would have lt- ] tie effect on the intelligent and think 1 ing men of the country. On the other hand, if he were to branch out as an | advocate of the worst forms of social- ism and Populism, he would do great harm to the Democratic cause and can- didate.
 The people of this country know MT. Cleveland as thoroughly as they know any man in the United States. The Mail itself speaks of him as the sturdy. honest. positive man for whom. with the lapse of years. even the strongest Republican partisans have come to have respect. Republicans differ with him now. as in 1887. on the tariff: but they have always occupied common ground with him on the cur- rency, and on his interpretation of the general poyers of the government" That is correct. Mir. Cleveland has never knowingly deceived or misled the people. If he has. at any time been in the wrong, 1t was because he himself was deceived. He has adhered to his own convictions of right when he knew that he was not only irjurinE himself politically. but was weakening the prospects of his Party. but neither consideration could, swerve him from his own convictions. When a man with such a personality as his makes @ statement to the public. it carries weight. It makes a wonderful differ ence what a man of his kind says. We are reluctantly compelled to the conclusion that our Government is in a bad predicament. Tom Watson de- clares that neither Roosevelt nor Par ker is 1t to be President. and as the country won't take Watson, what are we to do? Must we swallow Swallow or take Debs?
