Another Naval Movcmen.

As a result Of the furry over the pros
peetive dispatch Of a feet to the Pacific,
another significant naval movement has
been almost unnoticed. We refer 10
Great Britain's graceful waving of her
treaty rights in order TO permit the
United States TO send another Amer
lean war vessel TO the Great Lakes.
Already this country has more naval
craft on the Lakes than the treaty
allows; but, in spite of that we have
now, after friendly understanding
with London, dispatched to the in
land seas the captured Spanish gunbOat
Don Juan de Austria, which is 20 be
used as a guardship and training school
for the naval reserve.
Since the ratification Of the treaty In re-
gard to the Great Lakes. Great Britain
has made no use Of her privilege. There
are a few small Canadian revenue cut
ters, but not one gunboat or cruiser on
those unsalted seas under EngIand-s flag
On our side, the States have been busy
with their naval militia, and Ohio. Michi-
gan, and Illinois each has built armed
steam vessels, which are used on the
Lakes TO teach the youth Of those States
the uses of naval arms. To all this Great
Britain has made no objection, and. more
over. is going TO grant our cruiser bound
for the Great Lakes the use Of those
Canadian waterways which afford the
only route by which an ocean vessel can
reach either Cleveland, Detroit, or Chi
cagO.
All this, of course, emphasizes the en-
tirely friendly and neighborly feeling be
tween the two great Anglo-Saxon ma
tons Of the earth. The time has forever
passed when there is danger Of a conflict
on the Great Lakes. Their waters are
given over to the peaceful rivalry Of com
merce, the only rivalry. let us hope. in
which Great Britain and the United
States will ever engage.

Qualification Of Murder.

Congressman Mudd's description OF the
'unwritten law" as applied in the Posey
case, and similar cases in Virginia and
elsewhere. as progressive development
Of the elementary, adjustable principles Of
the common law. is mere balderdash.
His whole plea in behalf of the unwritten
law is. in fact. nothing less than plea
for murder as a remedy for private
wrongs of a certain class. He tells Us,
apparently with solemnity. that murder
is necessary 20 the protection Of the
home. maintenance of the family, and
the better and purer development of So
cietyi So unblushing q defense OF homi-
eide as a social institution. as a bUlwark
of domestic happiness, as appealing to
the highest instincts Of the human heart,
has been seldom heard in an American
heard from the lips Of a member Of the
legal profession, no matter how hard
pressed for something to say in defense
of a client.
In such sentimental glcrifcation of muir
der as that INDUCED in by Mr.. Mudd We
may, perhaps, find clew TO the astonish-
ing prevalence of homicide in this eoun-
try we cannot deny that Mr. Mudds
opinion Of the usefulness and effective
ness OF killing the person who has done
you wrong has the support of a consid-
cradle popular sentiment, and that there
is a widespread belief that homicide is
relatively trivial crime as compared with
Where such opinions prevail, it is not
strange that homicide should also prevail.
nor is il remarkable that juries should
deal leniently with homicide when popu-
lar applause greets sentimental verdicts,
while judges themselves, descending FROM
the bench to the level of the rabble,
openly commend the peryersion Of justice.
We cannot too strongly condemn the
sentiment which regards homicide as
minor or venial oiIense, If not a positive
good to the community. Such doctrine as
this, 50 far from being a development Of
the common law. is opposed TO all the
principles Of justice and human rights
upon which the common law is founded
In no civilized code Of jurisprudence is
homicide recognized as az inferior crime.
or as one that may be tolerated as tend
ing, Under given circumstances. to the
publication and elevation Of public
morals The idea that murder is a good
thing is a latter-day development Of ''un-
written law" pleaders, 10 regard which
as juridical evolution is simply gro
tesque. II is, more accurately. a rever-
sion TO barbarlsm, 10 the control Of So
ciety through the primary instincts of
man as they rise 10 the surface in mo-
ments Of ungoverned passion.

As to tho Treatment of Lohsters.

We are strongly in favor OF the propa-
ganda of those humanitarians who are
raising their voices ever and anon against
cruelty to animals, and no plea they
have made seems 10 appeal quite so
much as that which they are now sub
hitting in behalf of the lobster They
point out that il is the custom to boil
Holsters alive. and they believe that
some more gentle and pleasant custom
Of Staying these birds should be found
One Of the humanitarians declares that
she knows a gentleman who always kills
his Holsters by bleeding them with a cut
near the end Of the tail Of course as
between the two methods boiling seems
less lingering and more sure; though it
| is astonishing that any gentleman should
engage in such an occupation.
1t is indeed, bad enough 10 be a lobster
in life without having additional obloquy
fastened on one by the method Of ones
taking off. We don't know how long il
has been since boiling Holsters To death
came into fashion, but it is matter Of
record that most Holsters are kept in hot
water while they are alive. Bleeding
Holsters is an Old custom, and though
some Holsters have complained to the
police of the cruelty of the practice, the
trade is still carried on unblushingly
Indeed, so prone are we as q nation %
make light Of such cruelty, and 10 find
matter for a joke in even the most seri-
Gus things, we believe there is a standard
''wheeze" on the subject much n favor
with vaudeville artists The Dutch come

Of the War Cry, says, with an air OF
naivete; Say Nike My girl was eat
ing at Rector's last night, and what do
you think? She got pearl out OF an
oyster That's nothing" retorts the
merry Irish comedian: my sister got a
diamond necklace out Of a lobster last
night Some individuals have been
known to laugh at this. which only goes
to show how callouS people may become
10 the sufferings Of others.
Let us. then, unite as a people for the
protection Of Holsters. Bleeding them, we
are happy to believe. is not a universal
custom among American gentlemen. but
is largely confined TO the callous chorus
girl 1t is by her, too, that most Holsters
are consumed, and we think that the
whole question of continuing the custom
Of keeping them in hot water may safely
be left to her tender administrations.

1t is interesting to learn that the pro-
posals. emanating from France, in re-
gard to the opening Of hostilities between
nations have been adopted unanimously
by the Peace Conference at The Hague

ing of hcstilities must be preceded by a
conditional ultimatum, or by a declara-
ton OF war. accompanied by ar expose

should be a delay of twenty-four hours
between the declaration of war and the

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
Metcaf is a local politician Of Cali
fornia, foolishly put in the Cabinet IN
the vain hope to keep its believing
mouth shut. In the Commerce Depart
ment the government was seriously en-
barrassed by his political intriguing on
the immigration exclusion question, and
he was transferred to the navy. He has
improved the opportunity Of that post to
brag about the big fleet he was going to
send to San Francisco 20 defend it from
japanese coolies and bathhOuse keepers.
The man is unfit for office at any time,
and dangerous at this time. The Presi-
dent should dismiss him and let Cali
