Meanwhile the men who are selected to form the first detach nt of 500 men, or whatever may be determined upon as the District's quota, will go forth With the best wishes of all their comrades end of the community for their success and safety. It uring to note that the main sentiment among the brave fellows who may be left at home is one of chagrin that they will have no chance to serve their country in this cacwaign. The first hepe of every American is that the war will b kly successful thai no mo: troops than those now summoned by the President will be necessary to accomplish the pu “s for which the United States is now acting, but if this result should not a it is epparently the wish of every guardsman in the District that the second call for treeps may large to inciude all those who are be compelled to remain at home. a The National Spirit Aroused. Applications for service under the flag skew that the spirit of patriousm is aroused all over the country. And, what is equally gratifying and cheering, it is exhib- ited alike by the rich man and the poor man, the property-ownzr and the wage- earner, the professional man and the busi- ness man. The men tn the cities as well as the young men on the farms, and the cow- boys as well, are offsring themselves to as- sist in upholding the honor and dignity of the government. There is no sort of doubt, Indeed, that if developments following this first call for troops should mak: the organ- ization of a very large army necessary, the responses to the demand would be such as to astonish the world. Nor will the effect of this be confined to the obliteration of all lingering sectional feeling engendered by the civil war. im- Portant as that will be, som>thing further will be accomplished. A sectional feeling between the east and west has for some time existed, growing out of fiscal and other national policies. The >ast has said som bitter things about the west, ond the west has replied in kind. at times, have gone to unwarranted extremes. Both have app2ared to forget at times their mu- tual mission and the obligations of brother- hood. The last national campaign brought those two sections into a sharp conflict. But let it be supposed that in war against Spain in Cuba a regiment from New Eng- k.nd marches side by side with a regiment from Montana, or Idaho, or Nebraska, and they charg> together in battle and support each other loyaily. Will not such an expe- rience serve to give those men a better un- derstanding of each other? The intimactes of th> camp and the march and the sharing of common danger knit men very close to- gether. No stronger friendships exist, or are possible, than those formed under such circumstan When the war is over men will divid, as before, on this line or that, and, also as be- fore, will urge their views with energy. But after service together in th; fleld, whose hardships an@ triumphs both have sbared, the men of the east and of the West will not only have arrived at a better unders:anding of each oth-r, but at a high @pprec ition of each other.

Yesterday's London cable brought an ex- pression from. the St. James Gazette which is worthy of attention. Speaking of the Cuban questioa, the Gazette says: “Spain has done something to put her- self right in public opinion in Europe, and, no doubt, she, to some extent, is fight- img in a common cause. If she gains suc- cess and proves herseif capable of making head against the United States at sea, thus indicating the presence of a weakness in the American navy not hitherto suspected, the disposition of the powers to intervene will be greatly strengthened.” What “Spain has done to put herself right with public opinion in Europe” it is Gifficult to imagine. Her barbarities and failures in Cuba are well known every- Where, and her trumpery plays respecting autonomy and a “cessation of hostilities” have been fully exposed. By those two plays she simply confessed everything, and humbled herself both before Europe and the ‘But the Gazette is probably correct in the statement that th- powers wili watch the The 5 are nov struggle with keen interest, and with a disposition to return to the question of in- tervention in case the United States shows We have warned the powers off. We have informed them po- litely that th¥s ts our affair, and that we are able to attend to it. We have entered upon the task, and every consideration of rational pride #nd safety demands that we execute it with vigor and dispatch. If we halt or are slow about it for any reason we shall lose prestige. By reason of cur superior size and resources we are expected to make short work of Spain. The attitude of the United States in this matter of Cuba has been persistently mis- nted in every capital in Europe for st two years. That has been the ervice General Weyler has rendered He is the author of all the cal- umnies against the American people which have been circulated on the continent. Tne indictment of them as buccaneers posing as champions of liberty and humanity was drawn by him end rests on his authority. The buicherer of the Cubans has been the maligner of the Americans. But as falsely informed and unfriendiy as the continental powers may be— land is not with them—we have only to throw our whole weight into the scale to prevent any overt action on their part. Success on the sea and a reasonably speedy cleaning up of the Spanish forces in Cuba will be an effective warning to Europe to keep her fingers out of our sugar bowl. —~eo—____. Campaign Promises. ‘The newspapers which have stood for peace at any price in this Cuban business have attempted to justify themselves by asserting that this government had no ob- ligaiions in the premises. When reminded of the Cuban plank in the St. Louis plat- form and of Mr. McKinley's reference to the subject in his letter of acceptance, they have lightly replied, “Oh, that was only pelitics. The republicané were trying to outbid the democrats for popular support.” These same papers took the same ground last year when the tariff question came up. They were greatly incensed at the proposi- tion to enact a straightout protection meas- ure. When r-minded that protection had been the republican shibboleth in the cam- paign, that the party stood for that polic: end that.on the strength of the promises that, if successful at the polls, the party would revis: the tariff on protection lines had been success achieved, they pooh- poohed the suggestion. That, too, was only politics. Low tariff men had voted for Mr. McKinley, and therefore the tariff plank in the Louis platform should be nullified. The people understood. It was not expected that party platforms should. be lived up to so scrupulously. ‘And yet these newspapers regard them- selv2s as the embodiment of conscience. They are constantly deploring the low grade of our politics, national and locai. Selfishness among the leaders and trickery at the primaries are almost daily denounced by them. Are tricks before election any more reprehensible than tricks after eiec- tion? Is the man who rigs up sentiment in order to effect a bad nomination any worse than the man who rigs’ up sentiment to carry an election on a platform which he has no thought of fulfilling, and after the election repudiates? Are not both of them the enemies of good gov-rnment, and equal- ly responsible for whatever demoralization who in good faith achieved the ational triumph in 18% are to be con- sratulat»d on the fact that the record up to date is eminently to their credit and to the country’s benefit. They have kept the Promises they made to the people. They have shown themselves to be worthy of trust. In the matter of the tariff they have rede>med their pledge, in that of the cur- rency they have made such progress as they could, and now in the matter of Cuba they have moved precisely as in conscience they were bound to move in obedience to the St. Lauis platform and its ratification by the people at the polls. —____+ +2 —___ The Shifting Center of Interest. A few days ago the eyes of the world were focussed on this city as the center of interest in the conflict between the United States and Spain. The scene of the most important operations has now par- tially shifted, and the people are watching the movements of the fleet at Havana. Washington Is yet, as it will necessarily centinue throughout the war to be, the center of interest as far as the transmis- sion of information is conce-ned. It is to be expected that a great majority of facts concerning the progress of events will ema- nate from the capital and even yet certain details of preparation are being perfected here that absorb the attention of large sections of the people. Doubtless in a few days, when the flying squadron has been dispatched on its errand of pacification, a third interest point will be created. Madrid holds few items of material concern just now. The events there are of minor con- sequence. The Civil Governor of Madrid. The civil governor of Madrid is a pecu- Mar character. Thursday night at the de- parture of Minister Woodford he led the cheering for Spain and made himself gen- erally conspicuous. He is of immense stature and greatly beloved by the citizens of the Spanish capital. After the traiff bearing the minister had pulied out the governor addressed the mob that he had just incited to intense enthusiasm against the United Siates, and urged the people to so quickly to their homes. Later in the evening he trampled upon the fragmenis of the American shield torn from a build- ing and in a characteristic harangue con- Gemned this country and fired the Spanisn heart with patriotic deliverances. He ap- parently finds it difficult to practice his own preaching. ———_++e—_____ Senor Sagasta may by this time be im- pressed by the fact that while ‘““Manana” ts a useful word in diplomacy, it is very un- reliable as a battle cry. ———_— +++ ___ It may be that the Spanish flotilla will not create as much apprehension in this country as it has caused among its own engineers. ———___ +++ —____ Baseless War Rumors. The war has already begun to produce disquieting rumors. It is in order now to look for scare reports from all quarters, and to believe only those that are accom- panied by the most positive and official verification. This morning three alarming bits of information were given publicity. One announced that the cruiser Topeka, formerly the Diogenes, bought by this gov- ernment abroad, had been sunk in collision while on her way to this country. The basis for the report was of the frailest na- ture and should have caused no alarm what- ever. Later bulletins from London stated that the vessel supposed to be the Topeka had been otherwise identified, and thus it is safe to believe that the new cruiser is well on her way home. Another war story was to the effect that the auxiliary cruiser Paris, which left Southampton yesterday, was in grave danger of capture by Spanish cruisers, as it was known that agents of Spain had openly boasted that the splendid ship would be the property of the Madrid government a few hours after she had cleared. It was known that the Paris left port unarmed, and must rely for safety upon her speed alone. Thus far there is nothing known as to the facts in this case, save that the Paris has passed the Lizard safely and is presumably weil on Passe r way be by a afloat, with the possible exception of some of the fraii but fast torpedo boat destroy- ers. There is as yet no reason for alarm on this score. A third statement, that caused baseless apprehension for a time, was that the Spanish torpedo gunboat Temerario had left Montevideo for the pur- pose of intercepting the battle ship Oregon and the gunboat Marietta. Later reports showed that the Temerario had not left port. There is really no need for fecr about the Oregon. It is somewhat absurd for people to apprehend damage to these two ships of the American navy from the single, small boat that has been lying in South American waters for some time. It would be a sad commentary on American naval prowess if these two big boats could not take care of themselves in the open sea. These rumors are to be taken as samples of what may be expected when- ever war prevails. The only part of New York’s inhabited neighborhood that is regarded as likely to be shelled is Coney Island. There are moral people who would regard the demolition of this pleasure resort, at a time when it is practically deserted, as something of a blessing in disguise. ———_++o—____ The men who guve their yachts to the government will feel a great deal better about parting with their property than those whose vessels, while engaged in pri- vate business, were captured by the Span- ish, —____+ +e ____ Considering the treatment received by Minister Woodford, it is scarcely reason- able for Spain to attempt to draw the coor line in the matter of presenting the ulti- matum to Senor Polo. ——+2—___ If the administration can display the Promptness in ending the war that it showed in filling the vacancy in the Post- master Generalship, the world will be im- mensely its debtor. —____ + + = There is in the west a gentleman who had something to say about “bloody bridles.” It igs to be assumed that he is already on his way to Cuba to enlist as a cavalryman. ——-—2 oe The desire of Spain to engage in priva- teering tends to vindicate the old dime novelists who pictured the Spaniard as a pirate by instinct. s, —___ ++ e#____. SHOOTING STARS. Contrary to Tradition. “It's contrary to all our traditions!" ex- claimed General Oblankit, as he threw down the Havana newspaper. “Have these Americans again?” inquired his aid. “Inferentially, yes. They are a pack of iconoclasts. They want to inaugurate a system of warfare down here in which non-combatants do not necessarily get the worst of it!” insulted us The Spanish General’s Ammunition. To ascertain, with care, he tries, (Tis plain to see what for) If pens and ink and such supplies Are contraband of war. An Unwonted Tenderness. “Henrietta,” said Mr. Meekton, “do you think you'll miss me?’ She lovkel at him in surprise, and queried: cs n I have gore to war.” Meckton,” she answered, “I have had reason for resenting a great many things, but I am willing to own that if Spanish marksmanship is such that you are missed in the war as often as I will miss you at home, there won't be any risks for you whatever!” His Motive. “Mister,” said Meandering Mike, as he made his way up to the recruiting office, “I wanter inlist.” ‘But this isn’t any life of absolute ease."” ‘I dor’t care.

But it is not our laws alone or mainly that are open to criticism. The conduct of @ great number of shippers and merchants in the last few weeks has been scandal- ously unpatriotic. Not only have they sought to bleed their own country, but they have been willing to aid Spain when- ever it would fatten their own- pockets. The naval board appointed to purchase auxiliary vessels was beset with American citizens trying to palm off unseaworthy hulks on the government at outrageous prices. Americans went abroad in ad- vance of government agents and secured options on war materials, hoping to extort profit from the nation’s necessities. Mule- Lreeders in the west are asking the army twice the usual price for animals. Coal dealers are rushing supplies abroad where Spain can use them to destroy American lives and property. And an Americaa steamship company, which has received large sums of money from the United States Treasury, has the wickedness to send food and supplies for the Spanish soldiers even after relations between the two countries are suspended, cynically boasting, “It's an ill wind that blows no- bedy any good.” Are we a nation of shopkeepers? Are the tavnts of critics that we have been rushed into this war by schemers who wish to vietimize the country as contractors to have a color of truth? If not, it is time that American sentiment was aroused to make cheating and extortion in military contracts as odious as open treason. It is moral treason. It gives aid and comfort to the enemy. It levies war against us and takes the lives of our soldiers and sailors. The Curfew Law. From the Providence Journal. There is a curfew law in Indianapolis, as in many other cities and towns, and it is said to have been successful in breaking up bands of young “‘toughs” and prevent- ing petty depredations. Such a result was to be anticipated. But it is a pity that ex- treme measures, at variance with good principles of government, should be neces- sary to accomplish what any reasonabi: efficient police force is supposed to be abi to do.
