The cold, wet spell of last week Served to arous? much apprehension lest the wheat and maybe the other spring 's might be seriously set back. But the 1 crop bulletin, issued Monday by the bureau, shows that despite this May cold spell, which is recognized as an established feature of the climaie, but which has been exceptionally severe this year, the crops are now in a promising con- dition. Th» Tuesday issue of the Depart- t of Agriculture relative to the condi- tion of the crops is equally encouraging, showing that in all comparisons the crops ar: in better shape now than they were this time last year. ——_+ ++ —___ Interference by Germany in the matter of the Philippine Islands would be based on the fact or assumption that that coun- try has iarge interests there. popul: the sam erland in The German jon in the United States would by tsoning fully justify the Fath- king up arms in Uncle Sam's ¢ France became aggressively The last hours of Dewning the have been easier had it 1 flections that the principals py might for re- in his crime, now in Canada in, stand a very goed ch ng with their lives if not wit i —_~-+e The European Bogey. We shall probal geod deal as progresses ¢ anti-American in- tentions on the part of European pow The topic is one on which’ many changes may be rung. But we sh. uffer our- pe alarmed by cable. The Euro- are doubtless Interested ob- progress made, but as the this capital, any tions they may decide to make S government on that as on other sub- ‘s will be made through those agencies. The stories of this nature earrjed by the cable now all relate to the successful attack on the Philippines. That, it is asserted, powers ers cf the puts an entirely new aspect on affairs. It, of course, does nothing of the kind. We went to war with Spain over Cuba, but, from the day ar began, wherever Spain was we were to be expected soon to he also. if we could get there and it would serve our purpose to make the journey. We have reached Manila first. We are now at San Juan, and shall soon begin on Ha- vana, and then, if necessary, we shall not hesitate to push on to the Canartes. ‘There are two reasons why the European powers are not likely to interfere offenstye- ly to the United States. In the first place, ft is not their affair. Their interests are not menaced at all In any quarter, and there Is no pretense from any responsible source that they are. Mere gossip, intended mainly for stock-jobbing purposes, does not | cannot count. Naturally, Europe wants peace. But no more so than does the United States. In the second place, even if the European powers felt that the United States intended to hold the Philippines permanently they would not be likely to object. They would rather have the United States for a neigh- bor than Spain. They would know that permanent American control of the islands would mean good government and greatly improved opporcuities for all the Inhab- itants of whatever nationality and business. The only objections to our permanent re- tention of the Philippines which have Weight and are entitled to serious consid- nm are those which American inter- and the principles of a sound foreign policy for the republic suggest. Europ 00 old a nag to kick before she has been spurred. She docs not know what the intentions of the United States are re- specting the final settlement with Spain. In fact, they have not yet been formed— be until the fight is over. This much orly may be distinctly stated now: that the United States expects to whip Spain, and then to reimburse itself for the expenses of the war. ——~++e—____. A Renppearance. These first American sacrifices to the cause of humanity and Cuban liberty will bring forward again—in a disguised form, of course—the peace-at-any-price individual. He made his first appearance when the issue between the United States and Spain became acute. He raised both hands in herror at the bare suggestion of redeeming the Ameri pledge by force. Such a thing, he jeclared, would be hideous and Without any sort of warrant. Go to war shout Cuba? Why, what could the United States be thinking of! Arbitrate the whole business, the destruction of the Maine in- cluded. Get it out of the way by any means short of war. For the United States to go to war with Spain about the matter issue would be a crime against civiliza- When, despite his snivel about civiliza- tion, war was declared, the peace-at-any- with his liver as white as but bis selfishness aroused, veered and kindly agreed to support the scvernment. With no change of sentiment as to the main question; still holding to the opinion that the war could and should have been averted, and is a crime against civill- zation perpetrated under the inspiration of the mob; he yet decided that all must stand together and try to make that crime as much of a success as possible. He was willing to participate in the crime for what he could get out of it. He will probably go on the other tack again now, and load the air with gabble about the horrors of war, the fevers m Cuba, the plague in the Philippines and so forth. He is afraid the country is awaken- ing too late to the size of the task it has assumed. Miles, and Sampson, and even Dewey a little later, will find that they have got to fight, and that fighting is a bloody busiress. Would it not be better for the United States to get out of the difficulty at once by any means at hand? He thinks so. The individual with pro-Spanish sym- pathies, try as he may, cannot disguise himself. Whether talking peace when he knew that Spain was making peace im- possible consistent with American honor and duty, or going in for war after de- claring that war would be a crime, or try- ing now to discourage sentiments of ag- gressiveness by picturing great dangers ahead, he is the same old humbug, in all phases and at all times. ——- +e Value of the Chemical Fire Apparatus The Sta> desires to call attention pointed- ly to the fact that its property was spared yesterday morning from a dangerous con- tion by the prompt work of the chemical engine located on D street, be- en 12th ard 13th. This smell apparatus hed the scene within a few moments after the flames were dis ily had them subdued, 4 no damage to the presses in extinguishing the firs. Herein lies the chief value of the chemical engine in its superiority over the steamer. The latter is heavier, less ly driven to the scene, must spend precious time in coupling hose and in quenching the flames often does more dam- than the fire itself. It is, of course, ential. its work in fighting the well- developed conflagration is the supreme re- liance of the community, and it can never be displaced by any smaller, lighter form of app But the chemical has now stablished itself as a necessary part of the fire-iighting equipment and must Le considered as a fixture, especially in the light of such an affair as that of yesterday, which is but one of very many in the rec- ord of euch year. Aside from the character of of the chem- ical engine its effective location in this particular instance is not to be forgotten. It is now housed in the building formerly used by a steamer that has been provided with new quarters elsewhere. The che ical is thus in the very heart of the busi- ness section. It lies almost midway be- tween the newly housed old engine and the apparatus soon to be housed on Sth street above D. The latter was provided at the particular demand of the business interests involved in the danger of fire in the area marked by the densest occupation and rel- atively the poorest degree of protection. Yesterday’s occurrence demonstrates the necessity of keeping the chemical where it is, rather than removing it to some other location to make room for a morgue. The value of the chemical in the area it now covers—much greater in its extent than the radius of effective utility of a steamer on hurry calls—has too often been shown by actual experience to warrant any change of site, aside from the very sub- stantial objections to the location of a morgue in its stead. There is something peculiarly and hon- estly hopeful in the fact that the rush to go to the front and serve the country in its hour of need is as great as the rush for appointments when a new administration comes in.

This couble crime was comm‘tted several months 2#go, and suspicior: immediately fastened upon young Shaw, who was the only other person besides the two women in th> house at the time of the murder. There was no clear motive in view, but the detectives seught by every possible means to fasten the crime upon him. His acquittal was the result of an almost total lack of direct proof. while little or nothing in the circum- stances surrounding the crime warranted the belief that he was the murderer. The sole connection between him and the crime was the fact of bis propinquity, his oppor- tunity. The jury did not believe that op- portunity alone afforded sufficient ground for a conviction. The authorities and newe- ; hostilities in these waters. este THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1898-16 PAGES. papers of Philcd:Iphia and Camden are now agitated over the fear lest the zeal of the detectives may have been misplaced, and that the real criminal may have had a chance? to escape while the extraordinary efforts to convict young Shaw were under way. It is now pointed out that the police authorities run a serious risk whenever they seek to convict a special individual against whom there is nothing more tangibl2 than suspicion. Thus the public agencies hecome prosecutors from the first stages of the crime. Every energy is bent at convicting one man, while they might more profitably be directed toward a general search. If Shaw is acquitted now of the murder of kis mother, 2s scems most likely, this mys- terious crime will probably never b2 solved. A similar case was the Burden murder mys- tery, wich shocked the entire country sév- eral years ago. The killing of two elderly p2ople at Fall River, Mass., was thought to be the work of the daughter of the man and stepdaughter of the woman. Every ef- fort was made to fasten the guilt on her. She was acquitted, and nothing more has ever been done to find the real criminal, supposing her to hav2 been innocent. Too often do the policé and the detectives pass judgment on such cases betore the favtts are all in hand. They seem often to forget that thair proper function is to find every fact, leaving to the courts the duty of pass- ing on the guilt or innocence of thos: whom they present as suspects. ———_~ e = What the Spanish Admiral May Do. Of course the Cape Verde fleet arrived at Martinique in utter ignorance of the de- velopments of the past few days. Sine its departure from St. Vincent great thing have happened. Admiral Dewey has de- stroyed the Spanish ships at Manila an: Aémiral Sampson has captured San Juan. ‘Thus in all likelihood the plans in con- tempilation at the time the ships left Por- tugese waters are not adjusted to the changed conditions. It may be that the Spanish admiral will require further instruc- tons before offering battle. He may se:k a cable point and communicate with M rid. Meanwhile he will be chased t Sampson, but his superior speed may enable him for a time to defer an engage- nent if delay should be his policy. He may seek Havana, now that San Juan ts closed to him, and it is within the possi- bilities that a fight for the possession of that pert may mark the opening of the In that event the flying squadroa will be of exceptional value. ———»>++e____ The resignation of Spain’s Secretary of the Colonies may have been caused by the fact that the near future promises to make the position a comparative sinecure. ———+ + ____ It has been a very difficult matter for Spain's fleet to reach this side of the At- lantic.

The world has seen many bread riots. In 1756, when harvests all over the world were short, wheat went up, as it did last week, to the equivalent of $1.50 a bushel, and in England there were many insur- rections on account of the scarcity of bread. In 1767, when the price of wheat rose in Mark Lane to the equivalent of 31.80 a bushel, there were serious disturb- ances all ever England, and great violenc was done by the starving populace. In 177. when the price of wheat aguin went to an almost prohibitive price to the poor, it was necessary, in France, for the troops to guard the markets, and a general insurrec- tion was only kept down by the prompt massing of troops in the disaffected and suffering places. The world well knows what a formidable part was played on the eve of the French revolution by the rise in foodstuffs, and it will be readily recalled how frequent, since that revolution, were the expressions of popular hunger and de- spair up to the time of the enormous ex- pansion of the American grain production and the fall in agricultural prices.
