The Do Lome incident may be the menus of bringing the relations bo. tweeu this country ami Spain to a severe crisis. While nobody would pa attention, under ordinary cir cumstances, to what some Spaniard might think of the personal qualities of William McKiuley, yet when the representative of one government shows such utter disrespect for the chief executive of another, the rules of international lav arc violated to Bucb an extent that the incident can not pass unnoticed. The term 'jingo" is used generally In an op probrious sense, yet among the so called "jingos" are found the best of American citizens, who Uestrc noth ing more than that the rights and honor of the American nation should be maintained with dignity, both at home arc! abroad. De Lome, or any other Spaniard, has little cause to complain of the treatment Spain has received from the United States government. In the minds of most people this treat ment has been too lenient. Spain deserves nothing from humanity, and by her conduct of the war in Cuba, has forfeited consideration from nations pretending to be civilized. A few more breaks like the cue Dc Lome made, and this government will take a hand in earnest in Cuba, and it would not be a source of much regret if the present incident should bring about such a result. Senor Do Lome would do well to remember the old adage that "it is wise never to burn a letter or write one." No feature of Speaker Reed is more pronounced than that which phrenologists call "human nature." If he is strong it is because he reads men aright and because he is wise to "know that what the people want is the thing that they will have. They may be delayed in getting it, but they get it at last. Mr. Reed is a fine exemplification of Lincoln's apothegm that men may w.'bble, but after all, they wabble to a right con clusion. He seems to be obstinate, Tjut when he finds that the people do not come to him, he always goes to them. He knows when to hold and when to let go. In the Hawaiian matter the speaker will let the peo ple have their own waj Convinced that a majority of the voters of the United States, without regard to party, wish for the annexation of Hawaii, he not onlj will not obstruct but will facilitate the gratification of their desire. He is of the wise men who rule by ruling always as the best and wisest part of the people would have him rule. The Leutgert trial has been so Jong drawn out that public interest outside of Chicago has, in a great measure, subsided. The verdict of guilty will come to most people, however, as a satisfactory vindica tion of the law. The statute of Illi nois, which permits the jury to fix the penalty in cases of this 'kind, is undoubtedly n wise one, and allows of more convictions where men arc unwilling to 6ee capital punishment inflicted. The question of whether or not capital punishment is morally defensible is open for wide discus sion; but when the jury is allowed to determine the penalty Its abolishment is, not necemry. When the sheep-growers' conven tion and the G, A. R. encampment are held in The Dalles some meas ures should be taken to provide elec tric lights for our streets. We must put on our best appearance when the visitors are here, so they may carry away pleasant Impressions of the town. To wallow around in muddy streets is bad enough at any time, but it would be the occasion of much chagrin should our guests be com pelled to do so.
