THE MAN WITH THE GUN.
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? Cincinnati En
