The news record of last week con tained two tragic instances of the terrible results of fire arms being al lowed in the bands of irresponsible people. Last Tuesday, at San Fran cisco, "Walter Rosser, a drink crazed soldier of the Tennessee volunteers, shot and killed a clerk in a market. Saturday, at Pendleton, Oregon, C. C. Cunningham, also maddened by drink, shot and killed O. Young and seriously wounded Mrs. Julius J. "Worcester. In neither case was there the slightest provocation. The mur derer in each instance deliberate fired the fatal shot for the pure lust of killing. That he was mentally un sound at the moment is no excuse for the deed. The extreme penalty of the law should le meted out in each of these cases. There is need in this country not for more stringent laws governing the carrying of fire irms, but for a more stringent observance of those now on the statue books. The terrible tragedy in Spokane of last jear, when a crazed man shot into a crowd on Howard street with fatal effects, is an instance that bring3 this matter home to the people of Spokane. It may be laid down as sound doctrine that no private citizen has need to carry a revolver or a fire arm of any kind. As a means of protection against criminals it is useless, yes, worse than useless, for an attempt to use it on a desperate man is attended more often with fatal injury to the citizen than to the criminal he hopes to shoot. A priyaie citizen who carries a fire arm in these days in any settled community is either a fool or a criminal, and the laws should treat him as such. So long as the laws in relation to carrying con cealed weapons are not rigidly en forced the authorities are not doing their duty and society is in danger. WE NEED A MERCHANT MARINE The Iron and Coal Trades Review, of London, after a quotation from our bureau of statistics showing the decline of our oversea carrying trade, says: "It seems hardly possible that with their shipping in such a mori bund condition, the Americans seri ously menace cur great export trade in coal and iron. Shipping facilities are of paramount importance in the the development of trade." This assertion is illustrated in the condi tion of the iron trade between Bel gium and the East Indies, which scarcely ten years ago did not amount to more than 10,000 tons. Within the last two or three years it has varied between twenty and thirty times that quantity. "Without the important means of communicatitfn which the Hansa Company has pro vided with India, a development of so rapid a character would not have been possible. The present mode of conducting our export trade is about as sensible as it would be for one of the large department stores to trust the delivery wagons ot its rivals to carry its sales to their destination. The fact goes into history that less than 25,000 American troops forced Spain to capitulate and abandon that island with its 200,000 Spanish troops and to give up the war which her brutality had forced. The reader will say: "We knew all this before; why this recital ?" The answer is that these glorious achievements ought to be constantly kept in view to restrain the spirit of pessimism now so rife in the country. "Would itjnotbe well if the public mind could now be turned to more inter esting themes than either the acci dents or the faults of army adminis- tration, and the world be permitted to see the American people little better reconciled to tbeir own gov ernment than some of our newspapers have represented them to be during the last fortnight?
