A Blot on the ’Scutcheon. The famous 7th Regiment of the New York tional Guard has voted unani- mously not to respond to the President's call for volunteers. The reason reported “that such a course would tend to dis- utegrate the regiment and cause it ‘o Bse its i tity as a state military or- ganization.” In Other words, the 7th Regi- ment puts the preservation of “its identity as a state military organization” above its duty to the country at this grave time. ‘The decision is disecreditable to a body of Americin cttizens wearing the uniform of a sovereign state of the Unton. This is a time when men are putting duty to the country above every other con- sideration. Parties have united for the common cause. Men of prominence and of brilliant prospects are leaving paths of as- sured prosperity to enter the army. They are making no conditions. They are ask- ing no guaranty against loss of opportunity gnd advancement. They are not demand- ‘rg that at the close of the war matters #hall be so arranged as to permit them to gesume civil life again precisely where they now leave off. They are merging their “dent and individual fortunes in the movement for the general welfare. Colonel Appleton of the 7th Regiment Makes this statement: “I cannot communicate any portion o7 my Official report, but I can say that 1.063 members of this regiment have agreed that it will not terminate its existence as a state organization to enter the service of tie United States as a part of the voiunteer for two years. but will continue to furnish office soldiers for that atmy ard will obey h full ranks any a i omlers for service anywhere, intend- ing to maintain the integrity of its exist- ence under the laws which created it.” This does not relieve the regiment of its y. What tted of so famous ar organization is was exp was the inspiration of an immediate and tneonditional enlistment, been which would have felt far beyond the confines of the re State. Instead of that comes thic al, based upon grounds wholly selfish unpatriotie. The 7th Regiment pre- d no other.

Spain is dezeribed as very proud, very brave. very unforgiving. She has been deeply wounded, and she will fight to the death. She may be brutal in Cuba and Porte Rico, but that will simply rouse her to greater spirit. She will exhaust her- self completely in af effort to get ever, ind while so engaged will inflict terrible damage on her enemy. As long as she has @ man at her command and a peseta with which to prop him she will continue to of- fer battle in seme form. , This also is Spain's estimate of herself. It fs not impressive, coming from any source. The United States has not enter- ed upon its present task without countiig the consequences. It knows Spain fairly well, and cares little about her pride, or bravery, or staying qualities. It has a de- finite object in view, and is moving to ac- @omplish that. It is certain to succeed. x . Spanish rule in Cuba is absolutely doomed; and when that rule has been brought to a close the United States will have done ail that it set cut to do. But then it is according to these proph- ets, that Spain will develop her ugitest mocd, and begin to make the United States regret that it ever’ was born. By what means? What can she do? Without a base of operations on this side of the water, she will be powerless over here. She will not have grown in power on the other side. So in what way is she to re- venge the loss of her West Indian possess- jens? There is a vegue hint that she will turn pirate and n:ake the seas uninhabitable for American ships. If she enters upon that policy she will pay more dearly for it than she has paid for her crimes in Cuba. The United States is‘ rapidly growing as a naval power. It too has pride, and that pride is up. In the very near future largely as the result of this embroilment, it will be able to hoid the seas against a power three times greater than Spain. Spain cannot possibly make war pay by drawing it out in the way suggested, or in any way. But she can be made to pay for such a war, and will be if she enters upon it. ——____ e-«______ The Reconnotssanec at Matanzas. The bombardment of the forts near Ma- tanzas seems to have been intended less as an effort to reduce the town than as a sort of reconnoissance in force to ascertain the number and strength of the various bat- teries. Evidently the effort was entirely successful, far beyond the hopes of the authorities, in fact, for not only have the whereabouts and capacities of these bat- teries been disclosed, but the batteries themselves, according to the latest ac- counts, have been either destroyed or dis- abled. Such a reconnoissance is weli worth the powder burned. The bombardment shows that the Spanish guns are of insufli- cient range and the men behind them of a low order of ability. The immunity of the ships from the least degree of damage is exceptionally fortunate, for as events are now progressing it may be necessary soon for the heaviest possible squadron to be sent to meet a powerful Spanish fleet in an engagement which may decide the war, If such an emergency should arise it woutd be deplorable if a few stray shots from the Cuban forts were meanwhile to have smashed holes in some of the cruisers or battle ships now blockading the island. Doubtless, in view of the knowledge gain- ed at Matanzas through ‘this engagement, the capture of that city by the American forces is in the minds of many people, and indeed it would seem to be a part of the general program for this government to secure a port on the north shore whence its actions in co-operating with the in- surgents and relieving the starving people may be safely and effectively conducted. —_—_ e+ ___ “Thursday Fair and Warmer.” This sort of weather at this time of year is beth surprising and disgusting, but no one is apt to be half as disgusted with the remarkable freaks of the ciimate as the forcasters at the government weather burezu. This week has not been attended with a striking success in this line. Mon- day morning the official prediction for this vicinity ran: “Generally far tonight and Tuesda That night it rained and Tuesd2y was an abomination. Tuesday's ferecdst read: “Threatening and rain to- night and Wednesday morning, followed by fair Wednes: it did threaten ‘Tues- day night, but Wednesday was not fair, by ary means. Yesterday’s forecast said: “Thursday fair and warmer.” Here we are, Thursday, with a bright, sun-shiny snew-storm, followed by a wretched drizzle, With celd blasts from the north and east. In fact, Washington has been visited dur- ing the week with a genuine northeaster, which in this section is almost invariably accompanied by at least three days of rain. This fact seems to have been overlooked by the optimistic officials in charge of the charts and the prophecy parephernalia. Weather forecasting is a difficult business best, and Washington is disposed to give the modern representatives of “Old Probabitties” all the leeway in this mat- ter that science and the climate demand. Yet a few shades of improvement over thé kind of prophecy that has been doled out of late would be gratefully received. + ee ‘The applause of anti-American senti- ments in the London music halls is not sig- nificant. It has been customary to applaud such allusions for a long time, and, with all due respect to the Briton’s sense of humor, habit is a factor to be reckoned with in considering such an episode. —__-- + ee The idea of the Spanish navy seems to be to adopt the tactics which one Chariey Mitchell used in the prize ring when he frankly laid down the proposition that if Sullivan desired to whip him he would have % catch him iirst. + The Duke of Veragua has denounced America, and Li Hung Chang turns out to be a bovdier.

This country has been too busy pre- paring to fight to coin epithets. +3 A Golden Opportunity While Washington is decorating with the national colors to indicate its patriotic sen- timent and its hearty sympathy with the s of the government, a sug- tion a¢nay be in order that deserves con- sideration, even though it be somewhat un- usual. For some time past gangs of work- men have been busily engaged in various parts of the city adding to the stock of poles destined to carry wires for the con- duetion of electricity for different purposes. Washington has more than enough of such questionable adornments. It has sought to rid itself of them by such means as are at its disposal. But the poles are still in evi- dence, steadily growing higher as the cor- porations owning them seek to tighten their grip he Kindly sympathy of the legisla- tors. The new poles appear to be renew- als, replacing old and inadequate items of this antiquated equipment. Whether or not the poles increase in number in the process of renewal, as they undoubtedly do in size, is to be left to surmise and the de- gree of faith the individuai citizen has in the regard of the corporation for the laws and the regulations. But certain it is that the poles do not decrease save as in reluc- tant obedience to some stray item of degis-_ lation a conduit is substituted and—occa- sionally—the offending wooden nuisances afe felled or pprovted. Even with this siow assault upon them the poles show no de- crease in their burdens. On the contrary, the number of wires ‘actually in the air seems to grow rather than to dwindle. Hence, indeed, the new poles invariably carry more wires than those they replace. j The objection of citizéhs to the pole system is based not solely upon the mere presence and appearance of the poles themselves, but-fs inspired chiefly by the knowledge that the wires they carry are ever-present agencies of possible peril, menacing life and property. Thus the spectacle of activity among the pole-raisers is by no means agreeable to those who have hoped to wit- ness another demonstration of energy on the part of these agents of the wire-owning corporations, in the direction of wire burial rather than wire erection. The Star therefere pi that answer very well. With a flag flying from each wire-laden pole in the urban area the city would present a gay appearance in- deed. Such a display would be of great value. It would serve at least two worthy purposes, This unprecendented fiuttering of flags in every part of town could not fail to impress the members of the Congress here assembled. It would fire their hearts with a patriotic fervor finding expression in wise and beneficent acts in support of the truly national spirit Sd enterprise of the American people at this critical junc- ture in their affairs. It would, perhaps, lead to other such notable deeds of self- denial as the silent passage by the Senate of the first war-fund bill. It might lead to sublime heights of politics-forgetting, feud- burying, country-loving statesmanship. In all such demonstrations Washington, of course, would take the pride it always has in every display of true Americanism by its constitutional guardians. But mainly would the national capital hope that this sudden, striking annotation of each indi- vidual, ugly, dangerous, death-laden pole would so impress the legislators with the number ‘of these abominations that they would forthwith devote their first oppor- tunity to the framing ana enactment of a carefully worded statute compelling the speedy burial of every imagin¥ble form of electrical conductor then inside the fire limits. This act would indeed be true pa- i triotism, for one of the first evidences of profound love of country is a desire to make the capital of that country safe and beautiful, a symbol of the nation. ——!>eo—_____ ‘The Naval War Chart. The naval war chart, issued as part of today’s edition of The Star, is capable of being used to advantage during the days, weeks or perhaps months of the Cuban campaign. By following the directions it is possible for gny close observer of the news to preserve an ever-accurate record of the whereabouts of the various ships of each navy and this information, graph- ically presented, will enable any one to un- derstand at @ glance the relative opportu- nities and disadvantages of the opposing forces.
