Rarbaroua submarlna MInas.

From the Kansas City journal.
Tremendous sentiment Is being form
led in influential quarters against the
I employment Of submarine mines in
naval warfare. Recent explosions Of
these instruments of destruction in
neutral waters have brought this sub
J jeet TO universal public attention. only
"a few weeks ago a British passenger
ship was blown up by a floating mine
and tWenty-eight persons We're drown
cd and few days before that Japan
nese vessel was sent 20 the bottom i'm
the same manner. A ship arriving i'm
san Francisco harbor reported having
seen floating mine in mid-Pacihc.
How many of these Vagrant engines
+ OF death are floating about Ia tho
ocean highways cannot be- estimated,
but il is certain that shipping in all
most every corner of the globe is en-
dangercd through them. The foremost
utterance against the use of submarine
mines was made by Mr.. Balfour Prime
Minister OF Great Britain, In a speech
outlining The military programme Of
his country He cOndemnes In no un-
certain voice such machines and stg-
matized their use as cowardly and un-
manly. Against such insidious engines
of destruction, said he, no gallant ship
or brave men can contend, it's sudden
ATTACK being likened to that OF an un-
seen viper whose sting is death. Inter-
national agreement has long since
abolished the more brutal customs Of
warfare, among the outlawed weapons
OF Oflcnse and defense being chain-
shot, dumrum, explosive, ana poisonous
bullets projcctilCs, dropped from ball
looms, etc. There is no good reason
why the same argument should not in
clude submarine mines that are more
terrible and destructive than any other
implements of war now known as they
often drift out OF the zone of hostile
ties and slay innocent and non-bel-
| ligerent persons and destroy merchant
commerce.

FOXES LIKE POULTRY

A few days ago a den of red foxes
was destroyed ON the farm of Mr.. Scott
Mercer, along Valley Creek. Chester
county. Pa. Two or three men spent
the greater part of one night to un-
earth the foxes. which had made their
home in "a burrow on a rocky hillside.
The fact that numerous turkeys,
chickens and ducks had mysteriousiy
disappeared caused farmers Of the
neighborhood to rout the fox den. An
old male fox was killed and several
young ones captured The mother of
the family escaped. In and about the
den were found the remains of great
quantities Of poultry, the skins and
bones Of a number of muskrats, the
pelts of several dozen rabbits, young
and old; the feathers of an owl,
species unknown; other kinds of wild
birds We're discovered, with skulls and
bones of several field mice and squir-
rels, and an opossums tail and parts
.of "a woodchuok were also detected.
The red fox, as well as it's near rela-
tive, the gray fox, are both persistent
.destroyers of poultry, game and many
species of wild song birds. The gray
fox lives In sparsely settled

In some counties of Western Penn
sylvania where the red fox is abundant
these animals destroy young calves
and young pigs, thereby causing con-
siderable loss annually 10 farmers and
stock breeders. Foxes have also been
knowp TO attack and kin young
fawns.
Foxes destroy many mice and some
rats and other small rodents and mann,

The damage however. which foxes dc
is FAR greater than the benefits they

MERCY AND JUSTICE.

EJERY naturally there Is discussion
Y over the sentence Of a prominent
politician to the workhouse and we
understand that petitions are being
circulated asking ne President for a
pardon. This disposition On the part
Of the people IS complimentary % their
generous impulses and we would not
Tor a moment utter a word In criu-
cism or IN the way Of disoouragement.
But while these pleas Of mercy are
being circulated. not for a moment
should our people forget that above a
feeling of sympathy stands the inn
portance of enforcing the law. and
happy Is that community which has a
judiciary capable OF putting aside sem
timent and doing the duty imposed on
Il by the statutes.
II In such cases mercy is extended
after conviction and sentence there Is
little to say. But Tor sworn officers
because Of acquaintance with the ac-
cused to evade their duty is a different
matter. The Federal courts do not
trlhe. they do not consider the social
or political standing OF offenders
Their only concern is TO ascertain
whether onenses against the law have
been committed. II SO. they have a
plain duty 10 perform. Were an the
courts in the land conducted with the
same even-handed purpose. there
would be less tendency towards crlm-
inality.
We repeat that not a word In criu.
oism Of those urging clemency should
be uttered; but it is a mistake to ever
insinuate that the sentence should
have been modified or materially re-
duced because Of the standing Of IN,
offender. The laws Of the land nusi
be obeyed. even though II becomes ne
oesssry to inhict severe penalties on
offenders.

Protection Of the Nations Highest
Officials.

From tho Boston Transcript.
It appears that the man who interrupts
ed Vice-President Fairbanks at Flint,
Mich. was arrested BY the police and
was found to have a revolver in his
pocket, was an escaped lunatic, or az
least had been but recently an inmate of
an asylum for the insane. The only les
son TO be drawn from the occurrence Is
that insane persons need more close
guarding than they generally receive, and
that those IN whom there IS "a homcidal
tendency often manifest their mania at
times when they are commonly supposed
TO be harmless.
Meanwhile the affair ought to remind
the country that the President of the
United States and those in line of Pres
idential succession stul are without the
proteotion OF special Federal laws. When
President Mckinley was assassinated the
whole country vowed that the killing of
the President should be made q capital
crime everywhere in the United States
Four years have elapsed and the logsla-
tion required to carry the popular will
into effect Is not on the statute book.
This failure Is due 20 the inability Of the
two houses Of Congress 20 set together Ia
frame a really simple law.
The lawyers exercised an their ngcnu-
ity over such questions as when is the
President OF the United States not the
President Of the United sfatosw and on
the definition of treason. There was also
side glance at State rights, while one
element raised the point that the Prosi-
dent of the United States ls no more and
no better than any other citizen. and
that 20 throw about him the protection
of special law would be- "class leglsla-
tion.' Each house passed bin. but Ia
reconcile tho differences was so beyond
the powers of Congress that the entire
subject has virtually been dropped.
AS the laws are now, to kin the Presi-
dent of the United States in Massaohus-
etts is crime punishable with death,

IN THE MEANTIME. WAR.

THERE are Indications that an
Il other terrible struggle in Man
churia is impending Any moment II
may be on. In fact, the preliminary
skirmshes have begun. A general bat
tie between the contending armies
means an awful slaughter and incal-
'culable misery.
II then peace negotiations have been
undertaken in earnest and there is a
fair prospect OF agreement a way
should be found 10 halt operations in
the Far East pending a settlement Of
the questions at issue. A battle now
would mean a useless sacrifice OF men
and would further embitter the two
nations
The lines are being drawn around
vladivostok and Harbin It is rumor-
ed that the Russian retreat has been
cut off. and another Sedan is predict
ed. But Russia, entrapped or not will
fight with desperation. and another
scene Of carnage is impending. Can
not diplomacy go farther and stay the
slaughter until the plenipotentiaries

THE WAR GAME.

II HE war game which has been

cheney Of the defenses OF washington

the opinion Of the experts the ability
Of the forts to Withstand all attacks.
Theoretically number Of nghting
craft have been sent 10 the bottom
and the star spangled Banner IN tri-
uniph yet waves, not only over McHen-
~, but over the other defenses.
In actual warfare things, Of course,
would be dinerent, but the advantage
should stIn be with the defenses. Guns
on shore have the advantage OF being
placed carefully in commanding posi-
tions: the ranges are already found
and perfect familiarity With all the
SURROUNDINGS gives the defense every
advantage Besides. with war declared
these harhors could be planted with
mines in a few days that would make
approach hazardous
II IS beginning to dawn upon our
naval experts that the defense OF
washington, Baltimore. Richmond
wilmington and Philadelphia ought q
be considered in one general scheme
