AND HABEAs COR
PTS,

A letter from Maj.-Gen.. Brooke in
regard to his experience as Governor
of Cuba illustrates the almost hopeless
difference between our system of judi
cature and that of Spanish countries.
1t is something for us to prayerfully
consider in the extension of our insti-
tutions to our new possessions. The
Anglo Celtic idea of justice, such as pre-
walls in all English-speaking countries,
is dramatically opposed in its methods
of procedure to those which have had
their origin in the old Latin forms of
Government. 1t will be remembered
that one of the crying evils, which pre-
cipitated the French revolution was the
bastile system, by which a man could
be arrested anywhere in the country,
taken to some central city, put in pris-
on and then forgotten" No more ter
rble fate could happen man. 1t sur
prises one to learn from Gen. Brooke's S
letter that this frightful system was in
full force in Cuba under the name OF
''incommunicadO" when he took COM
mand. There were numbers of men in
the prisons all over the island con-
cerning whom there was no record
whatever and in many cases the oldest
inhabitants were ignorant of their
names. their identity and their origin.
was to order an investigation of all the
prisoners and the release of all those
who were merely political prisoners.
These were released Immediately upon
the presentation of the facts by their
friends, and then the other cases were
political prisoners We're released Very
singularly, the Audiencia, or Supreme
Court of the Island. protested at this
course. and the Cuban lawyers gener-
ally were opposed to Gen. BroolSe's in
PRODUCTION of the habeas corpus prin,
ciple AS early as Sept. 7, 1899, Gen
Brooke proposed To introduce the hab-
cas- corpus, but met an immediate pro-
test from the S,ub3n Secretary of JUS
tice and from nearly all of the lawyers
In spite of this Gen. Brooke. by Civil
Order 427, Oct 1,ss,,. 1900, instated hab-
cas- corpus as part of the judicial pro-
cedure Of thea island. Whether this
| which we Angto-Geltics think vital
part of our system, is still maintained in
the island is unknown, but the prob,
ability is that Small attention is paid to
it, and that man who is arrested be-
comes incommunipado after the old
Spanish fashion. and remain inacces.
sible to his friends until it suits the
pleasure of the officers of the law to
allow him to be tried.

This country would not have been
built up with such amazing rapidity if
decades ago. Great towns and fac
tories have been built and the country
developed by favors from the railroads.

Mr.. Hearst may be sincere in his an
nouncement not to again be a candi-
cate. His published report of expenses
gave out that he spent s256,000 in his
campaign for Governor. This only rep
resents what was spent in the regular
political way, and can include but a
portion of the total cost of his cam
paign. Probably the real figures would
be double those given. Mr. Hearst has
found that it is pretty uphill work run
ming for office outside of a party and
without the help of its machinery.
Wealthy as he is. an expenditure ap-
proXimating half a million dollars must
be serious item in his annual account
of profit and loss. and rather discourag.

Department Commander George A

Department Commander George A.
Harman. of Ohio, had an attack of
facial paralysis while addressing q
campfire at Memorial Hall in Toledo,
and which prevented him from finish
ing his speech. He is still suffering
from it, with one side of his face much
drawn so that the right eye cannot be
closed. The cause is attributed to q
chronic ear trouble contracted in the
Army during February. 1863, when the
weather was extremely cold. 1t IS
hoped that the acute condition will

raE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: wAsINanN c. THURSDAY
rAss THE Ex-ra,soxEns DILL.

The rccord4i shoa. that there were
about 5000 nrisopers received at An
dersonville. off whom, in round num-
bers. 1900 died /, The average stay of
exceed three months. That is. the great
mass of those iconfned there were
brought in some time after the opera
tons began on both fronts on the 9Th
of May, 1864 and were taken out as
rapidly as possible after Atlanta fell
Sept 1. Therefore, so deadly was the
place that of every four men who so
much as set foot inside the prison one
was dead before 80 days. This does
not include, of course, those whose con-
brought to the verge of death by the
miseries of Andersonville and after
ward died in other prisons or on the
road to them. Andersonviile furnishes
a comparison and standard, there
fore. The mortality in other prisons
must have been greater in proportion,
because the prisoners had been longer
in captivity and consequently died off
at a greater rate. Much more than a
majority of the prisoners taken from
Meade's and Sherman's armies during
the terrific campaign of the Summer of
ga were sent to Andcrsonvillc, and
after the fall of Atlanta were distrib-
uted to Millen, Savannah, Charleston
Florence and elsewhere. This one fact,
that one out of every four prisoners
received at Andersonville died before
he was taken out, outweighs far all the
excuses, paliations and representations
that can be possibly made by the apol-
ogists for Jefferson Davis. 1t also fur
what must have been the fate in other
prisons of the other three, who were
the comrades of this man who was the
first TO succumb. Above all, however
ii makes it clear and uudeniable that
every man who went thru such n ter
rifle ordeal where, finally, two. possibly
three, out of every four died, must
have suffered such frightful impair
ments of his physical system as to make
it impossible that he should ever re-
cover from them. This is plain, phys
iological truth which the entire medical
profession at once agrees to. No man
who so much as spent month in An
dersonville or any other Southern pris-
on could ever possibly be as healthy
have been without that experience. 1t
may be that many men served in the
field during the war with benefit to
their health and physical condition. but
it is impossible ttat any man who en-
dured captivity escaped permanent and
lasting injuries, These injuries are now
telling frightfully; upon those men as
they descend the western slope of life.
They are consequently q particular
class who should have the special at
tention of Congress. They can have but
"A few years to,slive, and the merest JUS
tice and decencyG require that Con-
gress should make such special pro-
vision for them intheir declining years
as is involved in the bill to pension ex-
prisoners Of war. This short session
cannotein deeency1 and mercy adjourn

these most deserving, loEg-waiting vet
