Pranks of tho Athletic Young Span
 iards of Seville.
 There Is q curious custom among the young Spanlards of the city of Seville. On certain fete days, related tourist, the young men of the place have per mission to ring the bells In the clock towers of the cathedral. They have an ingenious and original way of ringing them. While the regular bell ringers reDose these amateurs climb up on to the bells, throw them forward with all their force and ride upon the bells In their furious swinging to and fro. We may imagine what an uproar is pro duced when all the bells of cathedral are being treated In this manner. Any man who Is able may exercise his skill, and the duration of the ringing de- bends upon the caprice or the strength and patience of the ringers.
 The spectacle Is very strange of the great bells swinging, with one, two or more bold ringers hanging from them in any attitude which seems to them best adapted to pushing out the most noise. In the Glralda, at Seville, the first time witnessed this, the clamor was frightful. When l looked up I thought at first some unfortunate was entangled in the bell rope, but l soon found 1t was a matter of sport. An other ringer appeared suspended In the air. holding the bell by the ears or the rim or the wooden framework and fol lowing 1t in all its movements, some times feet. sometimes head, downward, Such are the daring bell ringers of Se- vile.

END OF THE THAW CASE.

The trial of Harry Thaw, who muir
dered Stanford White in the roof gar
den of the Madison Square theatre,
New York, nearly two years ago, came
to an end yesterday about noon, when
the jury found the defendant not
guilty on the ground of insanity. He
was at once ordered sent to the Mat
teawan asylum for the criminal insane.
There he will spend the balance of his
days. unless later on some successful
effort should be made to bring about
his release.
Thaw has been quoted as saying that
he preferred the electric chair to COM
initial to this asylum, and it is not un-
natural that he should do so. Nothing
could be more horrible than the pros
pect of lifelong Imprisonment in an in
stitution Of that character. To see day
after day the same gibbering lunatics;
to be possessed at every waking by the
fear that in moment of insanity ones
life may be taken by a maniac. is
punishment that is worse than death.
We do not believe the sanest, coolest
man that ever lived could endure such
confinement long without becoming in
sane himself. So for time the Thaw
case is ended. Stanford White is fully
avenged. It is to be hoped that the en-
tire matter will now be put out of the
public mind forever. At the same time.
it is a source of satisfaction to know
from this procedure that it is not al
ways possible for criminal defendants
who have abundant means at their dis
posal TO escape justice
Certainly everything that could be
done for Thaw was done, at least as
far as money could bring it about. The
best lawyers his family could procure
were procured for both trials. and
there was no lack of means with which
to unearth evidence favorable to the
defense. On the other hand, District
Attorney Jerome saw to it that the
machinery of the state was used most
effectively. The result of the trial
cannot be regarded otherwise than as
a distinct triumph for the prosecutor.

The dispatches say the message of

with many manifestations of approval
In the upper house Senator Davis of
Arkansas moved that 10000 copies be
printed as a public document; he de-
clared it 10 be the best Democratic
doctrines he has ever heard emanating
from Republican source. His motion
was agreed to.
In the house the Democrats joined in
the applause. for they appreciated, too,
the value of this message as a Demo-
cratic campaign document. Generally
speaking, the message is pretty sound
Democratic doctrine. Mr.. Roosevelt
advocates many things that the Dem
ocratic party has long advocated. IN
deed, it is easy to believe that Mr..
Bryan, in his recent conference with
Mr., Roosevelt at the White House,
that lasted a long time
suggested some of the salient points in
the message.
And if anything further is needed to
convince the country that President
Roosevelt is not a candidate for an
other nomination, it would be found in
this remarkable document. For, after
such straightforward shoulder talk
he could hardly hope to secure the sup
port of the men who own. operate and
control the Republican party.

Abraham Lincoln had more common
sense than anybody else then i'm public
life. and after carefully studying the
situation. he relieved Burbridge of his
command and appointed John NJ Pal
mer in his stead. From that day IL
was civilized warfare in the state. ex-
cept in some of the counties on the
border of Tennessee. where the war
ceased to be for the Union or the Con-
federacy, and degenerated until il be-
came work of murder and rapine.
In 1858 Palmer was elected governor
of Illinois, and governor he was when
the great fire of 1871 DESTROYED Chi
cago. General Sheridan came on the
scene and proposed to take command
and do the things to Illinois that he
had done, in contempt of law and vio-
lation of the constitution. to Texas
and Louisiana; but Palmer gave Sheri
dan and Grant to understand that H.
linois was a sovereign state. and in
no humor to be governed by bayonets.
with the result that Sheridan subsidized
and left Palmer to run the show. There
was the states rights Democracy
cropping out in the Republican COVER
nor.

OF the Illinois legislature, he was

ocrat on the l5Sd ballot.
1t was a national affair. the chiaf
item of political news in every com

calendar months. On the night of his
election Springfield swarmed with DEM
ocrats from twenty states, all drunk
with enthusiasm, and many of them
pretty full of the cup that inebriates

But they didn't get Shelby. On the
contrary, Shelby got them, owing to the

was laid on the Democratic party.

Lodge, who is reckOned the heir, as he
is the successor, of Charles Sumner.
As chairman of that committee SUM-
ner would have engaged us in a war

pared for it. and when Boston would
have fallen within month of the be-

Fish said him nay, and the senate sum-
marily deposed him and put Simon

gets TO be chairman he will delight the
senate with some brillians essays on our
relations with all the world and the
rest of mankind.
Senator Cullom is no Sumner. and will
not get his country into hot water

and reserved powers of the states
What he believed he believed with his
whole heart, mind, soul and strength
and he brought a powerful intellect and
a sincere conviction to support any po-
sition he might take.
But Cullom leaves doctrines to others.
He is a practical man, and seeks the
goal. He knows what he wants and
how to get it. If he were ten years
younger, it is more than likely that he
would be the next president of the
United States. He was a pioneer in ma
tional legislation for federal control of
railroads in the interstate traffic, and
his vast experience has made him one
of the safest legislators in either branch
of congress.
