Wilmington is pay and for some time to come will continue to pay, the just penalty for substituting riot for law und order. Some of the efferts made to rest ore fidence in the community, while seriously intended. are positively ludicrous. ‘The leading spirit in the revoluiton was a man named Waddell. He acted as one to succeed in such affairs always must act, He showed the way in all of the dangerous business. He did not give orders from a bomb proof. He presided at the meet- ings when the spirit of the mob was being invoked, He led the mob when it as- sembled. He marched at its head to the office of the negro editor, and was every. where conspicucus during that regrettable day. Very properly, therefore, after the officials of the town bad been forced to con- resign, Mr. Waddell became the chief of | | te new dispensation. And thus, “in a moment, In the twinkling of an eye,” he also became b- a pleasing fiction the repre- sentative of law and order! The red shirt of the leader of the mob was stripped off, the trusty Winchester laid aside, and the starched front and decorousness of the magistrate brought into play. Mr. Wadéell's first act in his new capac- ity was an appeal to the hundreds of panic- stricken negroes who, after the terrors of the day had been exacted, had fled to the woods for safety. It was a brief state- ment, signed by him. Brevity is the one merit of a mob leader. He is never long- winded in his deliverances, oral or written. This was a note of six lines, by which the negroes were requested to return to their homes and were assured of protection. Mr. Waddell secured men to go out into the woods and circulate the paper and explain it to those for whom it was intended. Is it strange that it should have worked but slowly when at all? Translated by their recollections of the man and his work what did it sigmfy to the crouching fugi- tives? “Come back. Our fury for the pre t is spent. We have all the dead niggers we need in our business at this time. There may not be ancther bit of man-hunting for a whole year. Mean- while there will be good wage. in the town for workmen of your“class, and our advice is that you come back and take your old places. We speak for law and order, and assure you of our protection.” When Mark Twain and Bret Harte first drew the portrait of the mob leader, and described his ease and assurance in the discharge of the difficult and ofttimes deli- cate duties of his office, they were accused of drawing the literary long bow. An in- justice was done them. ee Dr. Doty’s Denia’ It is highly important that the disagree- ment between the iocal and o‘ficial ph cians of this city and the health officer of the port of New York as to the cause of the death of Archie Miller should be settled yond question. On the one side is the agreement among all the physicians who attended and examined th> patient and who after his death investigated the case by an autopsy that the man died of yellow fever. The ude some men who 2 experts in diagnosis of this disease, it in all its forms ani the who have studied have become competent to pass upon ali questions concerning it. They are repre- atative of the government's chief agency for the control of the disease when it cures a foothold in this country. There is no disagreement among them. They had no reason Saturday to imagine the exist- ence of yellow fever, but rather their minds would naturally turn toward a more opti- mistic view of the case. On the other hand ts the assertion of Dr. Doty, based solely upon theoretical assump- tions, that the man could not have had yellow fever because he had passed the period of incubation when he was permit- ted after examination on board ship to enter the port of New York. Without hav- ing seeu the boay, or participated in or heard in detail from the bacteriological examinations, he derides the notion that Miller kad the fever. He has good reason for doing so. If tne Washington diagnosis is correct, Miller's case is evidence that the quarantine examination in New York Is not as rigid as it should be—that, indeed, it is not reliable. Unless Dr. Doty can prove that Miller did not die of yellow fever he is under a heavy responsibility, and his motive in scoffing at the health officer's statement is therefore plainly apparent. In any case the public has a right to know the truth. If Miller died of yellow fever it is important to understana Aow a man so near death from this discase can get into the largest port in the country. If he did not die of the fever :t is equally important to know how it ‘appens that men who have such high reputations in handling yellow fever cases as ave the surgeons of the marine hospital service can make such a glaring mistaae. In ary event, of ccurse, there will be no scare in this city, for the season is too far advanced for a spread of the fever. There has thus far been absolutely no public appr2hension, so thoroughly well informed are the people of this city as to the circumstances under which yellow fever germs become innocuous in this climate. But meanwhile It behooves Dr. Doty to fortify his bare assertions with facts and to bring demonstrations to the aid of his theories, for until AS assem- bled a better case than stands to his credi now, and proves that the Washington ¢ nosis is wrong, the general belief will be that there has been an undue relaxation of strictness in the New York quarantine coin- idental with the passing of the season of greatest danger. soe Gen. Sternberg’s Report. Surgeon General Sternberg’s annual re- port, published today, is virtually the e of the army's medical department in an swer to the charges of maladministration which have been made upon it for its part war with A careful reading this report shows most clearly of all fact that the department was sadiy capped at the outset by the lack of ons and supplies, and that much of » trouble arose from the necessity of rely- upon surgeons hurriedly engaged from civil life and upon supplies gathered from miscellaneous sources. But it Is also ap- parent that the sickness in the camps can be traced to the ignorance of the soldiers themselves of the first principles of right living when men are assembled in close quarters in large numbers. The lack of proper precaution by company and regi- mental officers is also regarded as one of the most serious causes of the early out- breaks of disease in the camps. These fac- tors worked together to roll up a heavy death rate in the army. Perbaps sume of the suffering could have beer avoided under cther circumstances. Perhaps the country might have had a larger and more efficient rmy medical corps in anticipation of the war. Perhaps schools of the soldier, with special reference to his health, mignt have been organized in the state military organ- izations before the wac broke out. These possibilities merely reflect the well-under- stood fact that the country was not pre- pared for war, and that it suffered in con- sequence in the ot the in. In some portion of Uncle Sam's posses- sions It miy be necessary to make cocoa- nuts and tropic fowl do duty for the holi- day feast. But it will be a sincere Thanks- giving, nevertheless. ————_ + «2 Every now and then a college professor breaks into print. But it is difficult for him to keep abreast with the preminence of a foot ball captain. —————— +e = —____ It is palpable hypocrisy for Spain to pro- test against being paid for giving up so large a share of trouble as the Philippines represent. +02 ~ Spain for Spain’s Debts. ‘The latest suggestion from both Paris and Madrid is that Spain will repudiate her so- called Cuban debt, and file as plea with the holders of such bonds the assertion that she has been despoiled by the United States of her territory and therefore is helpless. In other words, she will endeavor to incite the foreign holders of such securities to apply to their respective home governments for redress against this government, her argu- ment being that the United States is now responsible and should be made to pay. Such a course would be very Spanish, and very ineffective. Spain cannot stir up any fresh trouble on that line. No foreign gov- ernment wiil undertake to champion the cause of its capitalists by putting its army and mavy at their service to collect their debts. They bave dealt in their private capacities with Spain. In accepting her pa- per they very well knew the risk they were taking; and they charged her a high rate for advances. They saw the dangers. It was « big gamble, in which they put their Money on the red—on the ability of Spain to conquer by bloodshed. The red did not turn up, and so, unless Spain wi.. give them another chance, these gamblers have lost. There need be no great pity for them. They were backing Weyler as a butcher and Senor de Lome as a schemer. Their agents failed, and why should not they fail? In this matter as in the matter of the Philippine debt Spain has fallen very far from the high position she took last winter. Then the suggestion of money for her ter- ritory, either from the United States or from the people of Cuba, affronted her dig- nity. No formal offer was made, but the subject was discussed. She would not even consider the question from a money stand- point. Pride demanded that, if necessary, she exhaust herseif, physically and finan- cially, to retain the island made sacred to her by the memory of Columbus. She found that she was flying too high. She soon got enough pljysically, and now she haggles financially like a pauper in a pawn- shop. Coumbus is forgotten, and she is “out for the stuff” like the next fellow. The United States is no mofe calied upon to save Spain irum repudiation and bank- ruptey than from revoiution. When it tried to save her from fouy its good offices were rejected. She elected to dance, and accord- mg to the ‘Lerpsichorean rule she must now pay the haaier. —____- « = —___ It is possible that this country may be- come invo:ved in Asiatic contentions.

A Self-Conscious Estimate. “How do you think modern American statesmanship compares with the old school? “Well,” answered Senator Sorghum, “I'm willing to give the old fellows their due. They could write better school-book recita- tions than we can, but they didn’t have our idea of business.” The Irony of Fate. That wealth has its grievances many -.ave heard. ’Tis a fact which is sad beyond question That the man who can purchase the heav- jest bird Has often the lightest digestion. Particular. “I wish you wouldn't keep quoting that maxim, ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day,’’ said the man who dislikes efforts to be humor- ous. “But it’s a classic.” “That's one of the objections. If you want to be up to date, why don’t ycu let Rome alone and stick to our new post office?” Misleading Grammar. “De nonsense dey is teachin’ in dese schools makes me weary,” exclaimed Mean- dering Mike. “Ye're jealous, ‘cause you ain’t educated,” replied Plodding Pete. ‘o, I ain't. After what I heard dem school children sayin’, I'm glad I ain't mix- ed up in any scheme where dey tries to make you believe dat ‘money’ is a common noun.” A Depressing Influence. “You ought to be happy,” said the Chi- nese philosopher. “You have all that a man ought to wish for. All you lack is a few empty signs of power.” . answered Li Hung Chang; “I’m the richest man on earth, and I suppose I ought to be happy. But I'm not. I can't be comfortable when I realize that the em- press dowager may at any moment take it into her head to use my peacock plumage for a feather duster and my yellow jacket for a mop.” Thanksgiving Ceremony. it’s a very formal matter, Eatin’ turkey out our way; ‘Cause gran'paw allus rises With a word or two to say After gran’maw asks the blessin’; Jest before he starts to carve.

Every year we're all attention; Not another word is spoke, An’ we nearly die a-laughin’ When our gran’paw tells his joke. Sas + Mr. McKiniey and the Civil Service. From the Worcester Spy. Certain newspapers which oppose the ad- ministration at Washington on party grounds are deeply concerned about Presi- dent McKinley's alleged intention to strike a blow at civil service reform. For in- stance, the Boston Post says that “the number of places to be thrown open to ‘patronage’ by the President's first blow at civil service is put at 6,000. This, it is said, is largely made up of pension examiners.” It should be noted that the words “it is said” form the keynote of nearly all the excitement concerning the reported danger that Mr. McKinley is about to take a step backward. The President has shown him- self a friend of civil service, and his sup- porters do not believe that he will be less friendly to it in the future. The zeal of the Civil Service Reform League in pro- testing against something that it fears is about to happen shows that its heart is in the right place, but it has not yet been shown that any wrong ts intended by the administration. Mr. McKinley may be trusted not to lower the tone of the civil service. From the Peoria Herald. The republicans have control of both houses of Congress and among the short- sighted ones there is great rejoicing. But the long-headed fellows are not doing any of this. If there had been a small demo- cratic majority in the House there would have been a fine chance for throwing any blunders that might have been committea— and they are sure to come—upon the ene- my.
