Spain,s Only Hero.

Spatn's Only Hero.
The late Admiral Cervera was the
only man whom Spain sent out to
fight this country in 1893 who made a
record that can stand the test of time.
His country was riding to q fall. and
he knew It. yet he determined that
the feet which official stupidity doom
ed to ruin should go down with honor.
Others boosted. Cervera accepted man
fully a duty which could but end in
defeat.
Although it was natural for a Span
lard TO feel in 1898 that this country
had forced war upon a weaker power.
'Ce-vera cherished no personal resent
ment against his antagonists in the
field. They were doing their duty, and
he respected their valor even when 1t
hurt his W cause. His appreciation
of Hobson's exploit displayed a heart
free from the petty rancor which many
Of his countrymen had manifested. At
once courageous and courteous, q man
as well as a warrior. Cervera will live
long in history as a credit to the mar
tial honor of Spain.

Anyway, darning the stocking tax
seems in no danger of being neglected.
A Hint to Autocrats.

"A 111uG 10 ~AuOOCE1SO6s
The recent denial of e%xtradition to
Russia in the cases of Rudowitz and
Pouren, two refugees accused Of
grave crimes, should serve as q lesson
to rulers who hold that might makes
right. That the acts Of the accused
men were wholly vicious acts were
matters of doubt in the minds Of the
courts. The Russian authorities are
notorious for twisting facts all out of
shape when the object is to Cypress or
rob. The treaty In force seems to be
loose in favor of the prosecuting coun-
try. But our state officials are justly
suspicious. They ask to be shown.
Russia couldn't show.
1t is q good lesson for the z and
all other monarchs who treat their
subjects as personal property to be up
against a nation where human rights
are respected. 1t is the business OF
rulers to protect the people and main
tain order by just laws. Where social
and political anarchy is allowed to
reign it Is impossible to draw the line
between acts due to political hate and
those which spring from mere lust of
blood or pelf. Assault and robbery of
a political enemy are natural conse-
n of the kind Of civil strife
which Russia's policy perpetuates.

LABOR NEWS.

Anthracite operators have rejected
the modified demands of the United
Mine Workers Of America and nego-
tiations have been suspended. There
will be no strike inaugurated by the
mine workers, however, and the only
danger of a suspension of mining in
the near future, according to the mine
workers officials, arises from the pos
sibility of the refusal of the operators
to permit the miners to work without
an agreement.
Ten thousand marine engineers,
hremen, oilers, water tenders and
deckhands on the Great Lakes will
strike. AS a result the opening of
navigation is threatened with one of
the most complete tieups it has ever
suffered. The strike hinges on the
refusal of the ship owners to recog-
nize the Marine Engineers union.
