JUVENILE COURT AND HOMES.

The wits of officialdom in this city
and county arc taxed TO the utmost 10

necessary care for wayward juveniles

The Juvenile Court was .paralyzcd by
the industrious and vindictivc discov-
Legislature had failed TO provide any
obligation on the part of the county TO
provide clerk for the Juvenile Court.
Of course, without such clerk the work
of the court could not proceed. Mr..
Mackay was actuatcd TO this discovery,
not through any motive of economy or
of public duty, but simply through his
personal hostility to Mr.. Irvine, who
was appointed to be clerk of the court.
Mr.. Mackay was determined that Mr..
Irvine should not draw any public
money, and cast about 10 find some way
of preventing it. His Investigations
found the unfortunate defect i'm the
law, and so the court cannot have Il
clerk. Mr.. Mackay himself. however.
has never hcstatcd in the least TO in

the law but actually forbidden by the
law, when his own schemes or fayoritcs
were TO be advanced. To such an cX.
tent has he pursued this unlawful pol
icy that he had To apply TO the late
Legislature to have validated certain
of his illegal acts and expenditures.
However. his vindictivcncss gave the
lie to his pretended care for public
duty, while former disregard of the law,
now shows him M before the public
in an uncnviablc light, when he claims
that it was the law and not his per
scnal hatred of the appointed clerk
that actuatcd him.
The problem now before the county
is how it can provide for the Juvenile
Court and allow il to get on with its
business after the county commission
ers themselves have drawn away from
that court the main prop upon which it
leans. The present week is supposed to
be the one when this problem VIII be
especially wrestled with, and at the
present writing it is impossible TO see
how anything can legally be done TO
forward the public interest in the court
and in the homes.

CUBA'S HOLD-UPS.

II appears that Cuba has excellent
of Spanish expressions and of the cruel
manner exercised upon its people IN
which the Spanish debt was created, for
refusing to assume the payment Of any
of that debt. 4 financial deficit of con.
siderable proportions has developed in
Cuba with no immediate means in sight
for squaring the books of that republic.
To large extent this deficit is charged
upon the salary list. which exhibits
in concrete form a sort Of holdup Of
the Cuban nation by would be revolu~
tionists. The administration is con.
frontcd frequently with the proposition
whether it will put a schcming guerrilla
chief on the public payroll as a stipend

airy and superfuous, having nothing 10

AN INCIPIENT INsURRECTIoN.

We notice that the organ of the Jap
anese political strikers in HAWAII has
appealed to the japanese government
in behalf Of those strikers, claiming
that they cannot get justice from Amer
lean officials or IN American courts.
This discloscs the real disposition Of
that strike, and iustlfies the position
The Tribune took in the first place,
where we claimed that it was more of
political than an industrial strike,
more OF an insurrection against the
United States than an economic propo-
sition.
OF course. the appeal of the japanese
organ will fail. The idea that the Jap
ancse government could possibly inter
fere in the domestic affairs of this gov
crDment under The plea that our Off
clals and courts are not capable Of do
ing Justice, is such an unwarrantcd
and outrageous proposition interna-
tionally that there need not possibly
be the least discussion of it, This is
the extreme of impossibiliiy. and that

success Of one guerrilla chief in this
sort of buccaucering encourages others
10 follow the same path.
The inevitable result must be the
failure of the republic and the call
again for the intervention of the
United States. And if intervention
comes again, it is hoped that the
United States will formally take over
as dependency the island of Cuba,
for there is neither gratitude nor honor
among tho Cuban people They arc not
adapted TO stable government of their
own making and maintenance, and they
are thoroughly selfish, without consld-
Grafton in tho least for others. An in
stance has recently developed which
caused a good deal Of irritation in OIL
cial circles in this country. During the
administration of Governor Magoon,
there was developed n sort of military
system for Cuba whereby a sufficient
standing force would be available for
the protection Of property and the On
forccmcnt of thc law The American
scheme was adopted, but in place of
arming the force so established from
America the arms were contracted for
and imported from Europe. This nat
uraUy made good deal of resentment,
both in army and administrator circles.
But it is only another added to many
incidents which show that the Cubans,
while not being able to govern them
selves IN a stable aud decent manner.
have no love for this nation which has
enforced upon them the stability and
peace, which apparently they do not
want.

A EUROPEAN TERROR.

They appear 10 he in sort of para
lived terror in Europe all the time,
lest some rich American buy up and
bring across the ocean some treasure
rich in memories and associations, and
of incstmablc vamc. And where the
cherished treasure is n castle or a his
toric piece of ground the terror still
remains that some rich American may
buy it even though he cannot take il
away.
Just now this terror appears to at
tach with respect TO Magma Charta
island, on which is the famous Runny-
mcdc, containing the table upon which
King John is rcputed to have signed
the great Magma Charta nearly seven
hundred years ago, that epoch-making
instrument which, in fact, finally made
all Englshmen free, and delivered a
deadly blow TO kingly tyranny. This
island. it appears, is for sale, and, al
though no rich Englishman appears
willing to come forward and buy il, the
English public is in funk for fear
some rich American may become the
owner,
This fear of rich Americans taking
away historic and art treasures. per
vadcs the whole of Europe, 1t is es
especially keen in Italy and France, and
it exists in Germany and Spain. Ameri-
cans arc the terror of those who cher
Ish those great treasures, and there
appears to be nervousness all the
while among the lovers Of those treas
ures that they may bc lost TO their old
associations and he made American
possessions. In all this Americans
show most excellent taste. and an en-
ergv that is in every way TO be praised.
1T is good for this country to have
those treasures II is fine to see
Americans alive to their value, and.
when they are rich enough, buy those
rich possessions. All the same it is
comical TO see the Europeans squirming
about it all, and humorous to see the
clamorous and ridiculous protests that
are set up every time an American
gets any of those old treasures that Is
worth while. And Americans certainly
have obtained great many of them;
enough to give real foundation for
the terror in which aesthetic Europeans
view the chance of Americans buying
what they cherish,
