Machado, Fugitive.

Unconfrmed reports that Gen. &C.
rardo Machado, former President Of
Cuba, was dying of poisoning. some
where in the Caribbean, revive inter-
est in the fate of the one-time auto
crat of Havana. For months his
whereabouts and movements have
been a mystery. Now a Puerto Rico
dispatch to the New York Herald
Tribune lifts the veil and discloses
that Machado is in Haiti, his latest
hde-out in the ceaseless attempts to
evade the extradition proceedings
which Cuba is conducting for the pur-
pose of bringing him to trial for
various high crimes and misdemean-
ors, including murder.
The fight Of the ex-despot IS almost
pitiable. Ever since his dethrone-
ment in 1888 he has had to run from
pillar to post. At first he sought
refuge in the United States, then in
Canada, and later in this country
again. As soon as Havana locates
him, it asks for his extradition, COM
pelling Machado to seek a new refuge.
Some weeks ago he slipped into the
Dominican Republic from the United
States. AT first he lived there uri-
recognized. When his presence be-
came known, President TTujillo fiatly
refused to surrender him.
Lately, despite Dominican hospital
ity. ostentatiously bestowed upon him,
Machado suddenly decided to cross
the border into Haiti. But Haiti is
the abode Of Cuban terrorists and he
finds its climate far from salubrious.
Pending his return to the Dominican
Republic, Machado's couriers are said
to be investigating the possibilities Of
the South American mainland as q
haven. Machado seems not to suffer
for lack Of worldly goods. Rumor

even as Samuel insult did. If the
long arm of the Cuban law does not
overtake him there Is reason to fear
that gunmen or some other unof1cial
emissaries from Havana. bearing an
cient grudges, may put him on the

way Of the transgressor, even highly
placed as he once was. Is hard.

solves found expression in multiplied
pacts and agreements, and nation Wed
with nation in cementing the ties that
bound it to its neighbors in closer
fellowship. Perhaps we believed too
much in these protestations of amity
and good will; possibly we took too
seriously the will to peace, and assayed
too lightly the weaknesses and cupid
ity of human nature. AS the great
Master surveys our modern world once
again, His sad lament may be heard
IF thou hadst known, at least in this

thy peace!" Can the peace we seek

Pacts and agreements are not
enough; they will not stand the test
when national pride Is offended OF
avarice and material advantage are
challenged. Earnest peace advocates
and societies are insufficient of them
selves. The will to peace must be
builded upon foundations that are
buttressed by qualities of character
that do not change; qualities that dc
not have to be certified by govern
mental seals.

Toward the close Of His ministry.
Jesus, as He surveyed the city OF
Jerusalem, the capital Of His nation,
a city that had been closely identified
with the nations most momentous de-
cisions, said concerning 1t: If thou
hadst known, even thou, at least in
this thy day, the things which belong
unto thy peace; but now they are hid
from thine eyes," Repeatedly He had
come to this city with a sense OF
burning loyalty for all that it stood
for, only to find Himself rejected and
His great message spurned. Wilfully
the people of Jerusalem had refused
to hear Him, and in doing so they had
denied themselves the way to peace,
and now it was hid from their eyes.
They had become blinded to their own
self interests. They had placed their
confidence in their own genius and in
their capacity to stay the day Of their
misfortune. Like the peoples Of other
| nations they conceived that their suf-
hciency resided in themselves.
The Master had insistently main
tanned that national and individual
| security resided in the maintenance
of the high things of character. The
people who believed that their ma
terial possessions, their physical
power and prowess resided in them
selves were immune to the appeal of
one who affirmed that all strength and
| all security were with those whose re-
lance was based upon what they pos
sessed Of virtue as expressed In terms
Of moral worth. Jerusalem Is not the
only city nor this ancient people the
only nation that has suffered the loss
of its estate by reason Of moral
atrophy and decay. Gibbon traces the
decline and fall Of the mighty Roman
empire to like causes, and the glory
that was Rome" faded and was lost
because built upon insecure founda-
tions and the conceit of people who
tursted in their own strength.
More modern examples might be
cited, and history furnishes abundant
evidence that where there is nc
vision, the people perish"

solemn hour when, l6 years ago, aftel

The Star Of No
vember 13, 1884. says:
1T is not alone in the United States
that the English sparrow is unpopular
and doomed. The farmers and scien-
fists of his own country have at length
taken up the cudgels against him and
a material diminution Of his numbers,
if not his total determination, is called
for. The London Times, after weigh
ing the testimony on both sides, joins
in the demand and recently devoted a
leading editorial article over a column
in length to the reason leading to the
conclusion reached. The objections to
the bird in England are much the
same as those advanced against him
here. The principal ones are that he
Is grain consumer, instead Of an in
sect destroyer, and that his fecundity
and voracity are such that between
the rapid increase Of numbers and his
Unsuitable appetite he is becoming a

interests of the country. The case
against him does not rest only on the
fact that he is denizen Of cities and
farms, where grain is abundant, and
avoids the forests and groves where
insects are plenty, but upon careful
investigations which show that his
food is almost wholly of the former
and very rarely and in small quantities
of the latter character.
1T is not strange that the crusade
against the noisy and quarrelsome
little nuisance has been inaugurated in
the land Of his birth. The only won-
der Is that 1t was not commenced
there long before the fight was opened
on him here. In England, where the
fields are much more carefully culti-
waited than in this country and the
yield looked after closer, his inroads
upon the farmers income would
naturally be felt much quicker than
here, and, as we have said, the occa-
sion for surprise lies in the fact that
the fiat of destruction has not been
uttered there long ago. Now, how
ever, that 1t has been uttered and Sec
onded by the potent voice Of the
thunderer,' it may be expected that
the war will be prosecuted vigorously
and persistently until the enemy Is
