The people of the United States believe in the President of the United States. They have faith in his integrity, in his patriot- ism and in his sense of justice. His con- servatism is a strong feature of his char- acter. That quality is necessary to success in high and responsible public station. It recommend? him for nomination to the St. Louis convention, and it was an influential factor in his election at the polls. In dealing with the Cuban question the President has been slow and cautious. Pop- ular fecling has more than onc2 been of- fenced. A certain impatience had grown up which stood tip-toe at the time the message was seni to Congress. That document in its conclusion disappointed th2 popular de- sire and expectation. = Congress is on the eve of handing down its decision in the case submitted to it by the President. That decision will be final, and the President will act in accordance therewith. He will stand for the country then in all that is to follow; and if he is to render good service to the country, the country must loyally and firmly hold up his hands. The change of conditions from Peace to war will rot find him unprepard. He knows what war is; knows with what vigor it must be prosecuted in order that success may be achieved. ‘The President is our leader, and he is w2ll chosen. Let us stand by him with all con- fidence and assistance. The greatest of our wars—the civil war—was fought under the lead2rship of one of the gentlest spirits that ever inhabited the human frame. He was patient, forbearing and slow to strike, but when hostilities began he carried them forward with a persistenc? and an energy that were sublime. “The bravest are the tenderest; ‘The loving are the daring.” A war for humanity, for liberty, as against brutality and oppression, could not be fought und2r a man more typical of the cause than is William McKinley. ——__ =____ General Weyler’s Bluster. General Weyler is brandishing his sword in Spain and expressing a fervent desire to be permitted to take the field against the hated Americans. If war comes it is to be hoped that Spain will indulge him, and send him back to the chief command in Cuba. It would serve everybody’s purpose to have him there. (1). It would serve Spain's purpose, be- cause in Spanish circles proper in Cuba General Weyler is a hero. He stands for the Spanish idea of a strong government. No nonsense about humanity or home rule or the rights of the people goes with him. The iron heel firmly planted on the Cuban neck is Fis idea of what is necessary to in- sure stable government in the island. The Spaniards there would fight under him with mere spirit than under General Bla: whom they distrust. (2). It would serve the purpose of the insurgents, because the presence of the man who has wrought such déstruction in the island would fire their hearts with a righteous desire to get at him. They would ride toward Havana, or any other part of the island where he might be operating, with their sword arms nerved to the ut- most. The spirits of all the dead recen- centrados would accompany them, and the real cavalcade, inspired by the ghostly one, would sweep the field. (3). It would serve the purpose of the United States, because the American troops would fight with all the more spirit against a base maligner of their country. They would remember not only the Maine, but the lying reports that General Weyler sent home about their country during his stay in Cuba before, and afterward circulated by interviews through all the capitals of Europe. They would be very glad to make his acquaintance on the field of battle, and, if possible, to disabuse his mind cf the contempt he professes to feel for the peo- ple of this “nation of shopkeepers.” And they would be exceedingly apt to do it. But General Weyler is only talking for effect. He probably does not desire or ex- pect to receive a command in Cuba. In case of war, not all of the queen's ships with all of the queen's cables, could tow him back to the scene of his cowardly and unparalleled atrocities. eS Oo A Notable Speech. Senator Wolcott ranks as one of the ora- tors of Congress. His speeches on various subjects have earned for him a wide repute as one who thinks deeply and expresses himself clearly and eloquently. Yesterday he addressed himself to the pending ques- tion of the relations with Spain in a man- ner that entirely justified this reputation. His speech on that occasion, comparatively -brief as it was, was remarkable for its strength of thought, for the soundness of its sentiment and the ringing quality of its patriotism. Mr. Wolcott’s contribution is one of the most notable utterances of the debate. —_>+>____ It is to be hoped that Weyler will take edvantage of the delay to place himself within range of the American fire upon Ha- vana. —_~>r+oe—____ Liquid Air. Laboratory experimenters have long known that the air can be condensed by Pressure to such a point that it forms a liquid, capable of returning to its former condition when the pressure has been re- moved and when certain degrees of heat are allowed to operate upon it. This liquid has never until recently been produced in large quantities and has been regarded more 28 a curiosity, fit oaly for demon- strations, than as containing the tcast possibility of commercial value. A few years ago, however, investigators hit upoa the fact that thils liquid, instead of losiag any property originally possessed by the air, retained all the chemical and physi- eal qualities of the atmosphere and secured in addition @ high potentiality for produc- ing energy as it was restored to its nor- mal state. This directed their attenzion enormous cost of producing this peculiar fluid. It is said that in their preliminary efforts it cost as much as $2,500 for a quan- tity ranging from a cupfuP to a quart. It was clear that until this item could be re- exact method of using and applying the power stored in the liquid air. The gen- eral process is to remove all pressure end to permit the atmospheric heat or arti‘cial heat to reach the container, whereupon the liquid boils violently, gives off gaseous agents and so restores to nature the energy that has been locked away in this ab- normal form. - It is considered by scientists that the liquid air is in important respects superior at least in theory to any other form of stored power. The tanks for holding ordi- nary compressed air must be made very heavy, thus adding to the mechanical Gifficulties in handling and use. The same is true of the storage battery. The latter, according to statistics thus far addue2d, is far less efficient than lguid air, hav- ing only from one-tenth to one-twent’eth the power of the latter. Already suggestions are being made by engineers and scientists as to ihe wost available purposes for utilizing this newly perfected method of storing power in a small compass: The present expectaton is that it will find a ready outlet for its en- ergies in any torm of effort where vost is @ secondary consideration. For the pro- pulsion of torpedoes, for instance, liquid air might be: readily” available. Perhaps also bicycles and motor carriages might be Propelled in the same way. Liyuid air mixed with charcoal forms a powerful ex- plosive. In all lines of effort where a dimi- nution of weight and bulk is more im- portant than any other consideration this new force may become speedily marketable, with the prospect that in the near future the processes of production may become so much cheapered as to permit an exten- sion of its usefulness to more common forms of propulsicn. —_——_+ eo —____ Privatecring. Since the present controversy with Spain began much has been heard about the prospect that if war were declared Spain would raid the seas with privateers and do great damage to American shipping. Just now it is reported that many applications are being made at the Spanish embassy in London for letters of marque by would-be privateers and if war should be declared it is to be expected that the seas will swarm with these licensed pirates, seeking their prey. Privateering has been a bone of con- tentioa among the pcwers of the world for a long period and in 1856 an agreement was reached between the great nations, in con- sultation at Paris, that privateering should be abolished. Curiously enough the only objectors to this compact were Spain and the United States. Spain has fromtime im- memorial favored this form of warfare and it is traditional that piracy and Spanish sea-going enterprise have been closely as- sociated. Hence it is easy to conceive the reason for the disagreement of that nation to the Declaration of Paris thirty-two years ago. The United States refused to accept this point of the compact because the powers declined to affirm that thereaf- ter all private property should be exempted from capture by ships of war. A letter of marque is an official authorization, issued by a nation either at war or expecting soon to go to war, in favor of the private owners of ships who seek to profit by plundering the ships flying the flag of the nation with which their patron is at odds. Thiscountry utilized this process of warfare to such an extent in 1812 that the British commerce suffered heavily. It is estimated that there were no Jess than 250 privateers flying the American flag in that campaign. The re- markable development of naval forces and the-concentration of power into small com- Pass have tended to discount the effects of licensed pirates, who have usually sailed in make-shift fighting craft, built largely for speed and carrying only a sufficient ar- mament to overawe the unarmed mer- chantmen they overhaul. The risks of pri- vateering are now very great and it is not to be anticipated that the commerce of this country will suffer much or long after hostilities actually begin, for with the pow- erful fleets now organized and rapidly form- ing, capable of doing destructive work among the lighter craft of the privateers, it is to be expected that the raids of these piratical steamers will be effectively dis- couraged. The main point of attack will be the coast-wise trade of this country and the holders of the Spanish letters of marque will be forced to work far away from a Spanish base of operations. ——_~+e= Russell Sage is quoted as having con- fessed that he had difficulty in folowing the developments of the Cuban situation. It is not surprising that the activity of Spanish diplomacy should puzzle even a man whe has made it his business to watch events and their influence on values. ————++o___ It is understood that General Weyler ex- pects to march from Fiorida to Washing- tor. It is but fair to remind him that vagrant armies are not welcomed here even when they do not assume to carry arms. ——~-+s___ Senator Quay has rot seen fit to meet Mr. Wanamaker’s proposition to equip a regiment from his regular employes, by an offer to put an army of well-disciplined, practical politicians into the field. ———»+--__ Even in the present absence of active partisan antagonism Mr. Reed and Mr. Bailey cannot arrive at any understanding as to which shall be the lion and which the lamb. = ————~-eo____ “Pop” Anson again commands considera- tion in connection with the problem of what the country shall do with its famous men who are out of office. —>+o____ The jockey who assaulted a trainer may have had his mind inflamed by reading the reports of congressional proceedings. —_<+-—____ The Qucen Regent’s liberal contribution to a war fund may yet lead some carping reformer to inquire where she got it. —se+e2—____ Senator Money appears to belong to the variety of currency that talks with em- phasis. ———~eo—__. Spain is not in a position to resent out- side interference in its affairs by Austria. Enforce the Speed Rules. It is evident from the conference between the Commissioners and the street railway authorities yesterday that something should be done with the police regulations in regard to the speed of street cars in this city. They should either be enforced er rescinded. They are at present nulli- fled, and their constant violation is a factor tending steadily toward the creation of a disregard for other forms of local law. There is good reason behind the speed rules. ‘They are based upon a due consideration of both the convenience and safety of the people. The maximum limit of twelve miles an hour is considered a sufficient rate of speed, especially for such a city as ‘Washington, where there is no tremendous running in mid-block stretches at the rate of fifteen and twenty miles an hour, as many of the trains run these days in some Places. It becomes a physical impossfbil- ity for the motormen to apply their brakes in time to observe the regulation at these danger points, the crossings. Yet there is positive need of such a rule, for the danger of accidents at intersections, particularly when the tracks of a rapid transit road cross those of a horse-car road, is too grave to be disregarded for a moment. As be- tween the alternatives of rescinding and enforcing the regulations as they stand there will probably be no difficulty of choice. The rules are all right and ought to be obeyed. ——_——__+ + -____ The Eurepean pcwers have done all that could reasonably be expected of them in this pert of the wcrlé, and may now fee! at liberty to devote themselves to the pre- vention of Turkish atrocities. ——__+ ++ —___—__ It is probable that, considering the time he had, Mr. Wellirgten ought to hold the championship for stirring up hornets’ nests. ————_~+ += SHOOTING STARS. A Ruling. “L-objeet to that motion!” exclaimed Broncho Bob, at a meeting of the city council in Crimson Gulch. “What motion?” inquired Ratticsnake Pete, who was in the chair for the first time. “The one just made by Teepee Tom.” “Well,” was the answer, “I didn’t see the motion referred to, but the objection is sustained on general principles. In a gatherin’ where ther: are so many seven- shooters, all in easy reach, gentlemen can- not be too careful about how they make motions.” A Reasoner. “Supposirg they do declare war!” said one Madrid citizen. “What difference will it make?” “Why, there will be war!” replied the other. “Nonsense. Look at the number of times we have declared ‘peace’ in Cuba, and there isn’t any there as yet.” “I's hyuhd it said dat folks is only chil- lun grown,” remarked Uncle Eben, “am it do seem dat a heap ob ’em hab de habit ob hollerin’ lots wifout sayin’ nuffin.” John Bull. “Although full oft I’ve joked and scoffed At nasal intonations; Although my ‘h’s,’ loud and soft, Avoid their proper stations; Although at divers times I yearn With Eurcpe to be clannish, It's easier, on the whole, to learn “United States’ than Spantsh.” An Impression. “Say, Mame,” said Maud, as she replaced on the marble slab the glass which had Previously contained lemon phosphate, “who's Don Carlos?” “Why, don’t you know!

From the Lendon Chronicle. Public opinicn in America bas apparently given up hope of peac>. The cructal point of the dispute can be put in a sentence: America insists upon the virtual, if not, in- deed, the actual, independence of Cuba; Spain is willing to yield anything >xcept this. The responsibility resting upon each party is terrible. To the United States a vista is opened of difficulties so novel and so far-reaching as to be beyond the rang» of reasonable forecast. Her constitution affords no method of dealing with a protec- torate of a large half-barbaric island, in- habited by ar alien race. Annexation, with self-governm2nt for Cuba, would involve necessities of reconstruction from which the entire nation shrinks. An independent Cuba might be the scene of internecine strif2, which America could neither tolerate nor extinguish. Against these varied diffi- culties no material gain of anything like equal weight is to be found. For Spain, on the other hand, the loss of Cuba means in all probability revolution, and in all cer- tainty a profound national humiliation. Finally, war itself, betwesn whatever ad- versaries and for whatever cause, Is fraught with appalling certainties and ap- Se uncertainties. For every reason, 2refore, one must devoutly wish that even at this eleventh hour peace might yet be preserved. Still, come peace or com> war, there can be no doubt that of the two parties to the dispute, the United States de- serv? the sympathies of civilized mankind. Their action may be Quixotic, but it is not selfish, and it is courageous and is actuated by motives of humanity. —____ +++ -_____. Zola’s Second Trial. From the Atlanta Constitution. Is France to bring reproach upon her fair name once more by compelling M. Zola to appear again in court and yndergo the pace Tinnlage formality of another mock trial? Several days ago it was announced that on account of certain flaws discovered in the recent court proceedings M. Zola would be berated. This carried with it the im- pression that the persecuted French author would not again be troubled with the gov- ernment, and that France would redeem herself in some measure from the odium which she acquired by reason of the legal crime which she permitted her officers to perpetrate. But now it seems that M. Zola is to be arraigned once more. Special cablegrams received from Paris contain this informa- tion. Instead of being cast down, it seems that M.. Zola is elated with the idea of again coming into court; for, according to the cablegrams, he entertains the hope that possibly by some unlooked for accident’ of fortune he may succeed in establishi ions. If he succeeds in doing allegat! this he will score the double victory of estab- Mish the innocence of ex-Captain Drey- ing: fus and also of himself. May the second trial of M. Zola result more favorably for the distinguished au- thor and for France than did the first. pa detacsS es o~citae esa ; Trangmitting Money by Postal Card. From the Los Angeles Times.
