In its joy or sorrow the na. tion did not depart a moment from the cenfidence in its high destiny. “I have visited the different regions of your bread land; I know the active men of the east, the open-hearted inhabitants of the west and the chivalrous southerner. It has been my fortune to meet the states- man, the scientist, the artist, the manufac- turer, the farmer and the workman. Their common ideal is the honor and greatness of their country. “Wherever the duty to my beloved coun- try will call me, I car assure you that my heart and sympathy will be with your noble people and with the standard bearer of the republican America, who is advancing the outposts of human freedom inte the last iutrenchments of the past.” This most graceful deliverance is repro- duced from yesterday's Siar. It is no less cordial than sincere. It is offered by a man whose good opinion the American people most highly prize, and as so handsomely nd opportunely expressed they will always in apprectation remember. The President spoke most truly for all the people, when in replying he said: “I wish for you, Mr. Minister, all per- sonal happiness in your new field of useful duty. May the memories you take with you of the friendship and esteem you have won here be matcned by those which tie before you in another land.” Does America agree with foreigners? It depends upon the foreigners. Senor Men- Gonca came and remained and conquered, and was conquered. He quits us, after twenty-five years, with praise on his lips, and leaves seventy million friends behind him. We quote him with pleasure against all the scurrility poured out by sneaks and chance sojourners. Single-handed, he an- swers and disposes of them all. ——___ + +e —__ Pass the Revenue Bill. In probably any other country in the world than the United States the delay of the Senate in disposing of the war revenue bill would produce a critical condition. That such a crisis is not produced here by this dilatory course is due first to the gen- eral faith of the people in the credit of the overnment; second, to the fact-that the war has not yet progressed sufficiently to create a bankrupting demand upon the gov- ernment’s resources; third, to the genera® public knowledge of the fact that the Sen- ate in all such matters is proverbially slow, but that it eventually emerges from its state of slothfulness and acts generally in accordance with the known demands of the nation. Yet the force of each of these causes of confidence is daily weakening. The treas- ury cannot forever stand the steady drain upon it that the extraordinary expendi- tures create. The out-go is already abou a million a day greater than the income, while the war expenses are merely in their initial stages of development. The balance ple for military purposes, without sidering the supposedly immune gold is approximately — $160,000,000. e is no safe estimation of the period when this balance will suffice for the neces- sities of the campaign. The rate of out- go may materially increase at any time. rtment yields sufficiently | thy y to disclose | the “Oregon is safe.

The Berlin press treats us with the patronage it con- siders to be due to our wild-eyed imma- turity. m posts us before the world as pigs.

Let us put aguinst”all of this detraction the testimony of a gentleman of education and character who has lived with us for a au charging official Cuties of great delicacy and importance, 1 has come to know the American people intimately. In his leave-taking at the House yesterday, Senor Mendonca, the retiring Brazilian minister, in an ad- @ress of unusual beauty and interest, said: “But friends do not part in the solemn -hour in which the nation is called to arms, with diplomatic forms merely. Moreover, my debt of gratitude to your people and government for the treatment which I have received at your hands during a residence ef almost a quarter of a century is so great that I cannot take my leave without expressing to the first citizen of this mighty republic my heartfelt appreciation of your benevolence toward a student of your in- stitutions and an admirer of the high char- ecter of your nation. “I have seen your country in its days of joy and of sorrow. I saw, at the ceiebra- ticn of the centenary of your independence, the past master in the art of war open the rter of a century grat fair of the arts of peace and reveal t he world the double greatness of the r nm which in ten years had transformed s ds and guns into implements of indus- t I saw the great hero laid to rest in the heart of your great metropolis, amid ih mourning of the whole land, and wit- m= ed bis apotheosis célebrated by the ¥eice of the entire Union.

The biil sent to the Senate from the House framed as to meet both lines of ae- c It enabled the treasury to pre- vide for all the emergency appropriations for many months to come, in such a man- ner as would not embarrass the government at any stage of the campaign. The mili- tary and the financial adjustments would proceed harmoniously. The Senate com- mittee on finance has radicalfy changed the measure. The issues are well defined be- tween the propositions of the House and those of a majority of the mittee. There is a belief that the amend- ments, which create an entirely new f work of revenue principles, will not re the approval of a majority of the Se But whether this is true or not, the ready well understood and delay will give to neither side any appreciable advantage. The imperative need of action stands forth clearly defined by the nation’s urgent requirements. The republic is at war. Political lines have been thrown down in all directions. Parties should be merged tem- porarily into the American people. The war calls for action and success cannot be was achieved without money. Debate ver so dear, quibbiing never so ex gant. Patriotism demands a cessation of effort to complicate the situation for small partisan advantage. ——_—--+ +e —_____ The Slight Accident to the Charleston The delay cf the cruiser Charleston on account of the temporary disablement of her machinery will not be regarded as im- portant. Admiral Dewey is in no serious need of immediate help. The aid which he will receive from the Charlestcn fs not of the kind that will enable him to occupy th land defenses and take formal possessio: of the territory. The Charleston will, of course, add materially to his strength, both y her own presence as a fighting machin: nd because of the ammunition she carries felay is awkward, and especially afte: have already been so many postpone- this expedition. The breaks in the engine are such, in all likelihood, as often occur after a ship that has been ov hauled has been sent to sea. It requires time to get everything in smooth working order, and it is fortunate that the flaws were disclosed before the cruiser had steamed far from port. ——_+ += —_____ The German emperor, It is alleged, never wears the regulation evening dress when he can avoid it, preferring the frock coat. Mr. Bailey of Texas may regard this habit with suspicion as an effort to infringe. a That the corner in wheat has made bread scarce in Spain cannot be denied. But it will be difficult to decide what military title ought to be bestowed on Mr, Joe Leiter for his services in this connection. Events at the Philippine Islands are too interesting to permit much encouragement of the “to be continued in our next" habit in the gevernment'’s policy. —_ + e+ _ General Weyler will hardly refrain from saying, “I told you so,” in connection with General Blanco's career. ——_+ oo ‘The Spirit of Pan-Amerteanism, ‘The speeches delivered yesterday on the oceasion of Senor Mendonca’s preseftation ot his letters of recall as minister from Brazi! are remarkable departures from the erdinary routine of diplomatic utterances. The retiring representative of the great South American repubilc ts, however, a notable exception in himself. He has re- sided in this country in 2 diplomatic capac- ity for upwards of a quarter of a century, covered by two terms. He has wit- “ressed, as he said yesterday in the course of his furewell address to the President, great changes here. But even greater changes have occurred in the affairs of his own ccuntry, which has emerged from a monarchical conditicn into the full stature of a rzpublic. Best of all Senor Men- douca has observed the up-growth of a strong sentiment binding together the na- ticns of the two continents. His words of praise for and reliance in the doctrine of Monroeism sound the key-note of this sen- timent. Faith in the United States as the ost substantial factor in the hemisphere underlies this reliance. Thankfulness for the work already done by this republic in maintaining the national boundaries intact against the encroachments of the powers, of Europe finds {ts expression in the words of hearty respect for the President and the people whom he represents uttered yesterday by the departing minister. Such occasicns, though tinged with personal re- grets,; are calculated to increase ihe strength of the American spirit in the new world. Such men as Mendonca end Ro- mero, wisely kept at this capital for long periods by their progressive states, are factors for the permanent betterment of the hemisphere. —+ +2 “First catch your Spaniard,” is a part of the recipe for defeating armadas to which the flotilla’s management is disposed to at- tach a great deal of importance. ——_ +e Possibly the sea serpent will run into some of the derelict mines along the Jersey coast, thus giving the public an opportunity to inspect it at leisure. ——_—___+ e+___ General Merritt recognized the fact that peopl> who start in as irsurgents on princi- ple.are in danger of becoming such through force of habit. ———_++e____ The 2ase with which Admiral Dewey got around the bottling process may cause the assumption that some of his ancestors were Kentuckians. ——_+—_____ Up to the present time the board of strat- egy has not provoked near the hostility that a board of lady managers wouid have aroused. SHOOTING STARS, An Unhappy Reminder. “There were some remarkable old -carv- ings in that collection of bric-a-brac,” re- marked the art enthusiast. “I'm glad I didn’t see em,” remarked the young man with black-rimmed eye-glasses. “I have too much to interest me in that line whenever we have spring chicken at our house.” Summer Sadness. In autumn we lament the tree Which dies ‘neath skies so chill and gray But now it’s even worse to see Our collars droop and fade away.

When times are getting tighter It's price grows heavier, while its weight Too oft, alas, grows lighter, Holding Out. “Don't you think it would be well for us to surrender?” inquired the Spanish officer at Havana. “Surrender!” echoed his superior. “I wouldn't think of such a thing—not until we have gotten what there is to be made by speculation in food supplies.” Out of Date. War makes some cur'us changes. a feller that we miss, A person you'd have thought ‘ud say a lot in times like this; But he ain't down to the railroad station, nor the general store, Nor any place where he was ’customed to hang out of yore.

But it seems all hands is ready to bestow their highest powers. The present time an’ argyments like his don’t seem to mix, An’ perhaps he’s gone to fightin’, 'stid o° talkin’ politics. >> —_____ Inadequate Military Provision. From the Philadelphia Press. Now that the country knows just how war feels, is it wise, is it prudent, is It safe to have a fifth-class fleet and’ no army whatever? This is our present position. We are making an army after declaring war, and our fleet is barely big enough to meet Spain's. Our risks grow as our power i es, and our army and navy must grow with our A first-class power must have lass fleet. It it does it Will ne > to waste time and stop b ss to fight a fifth-class power like £ An army of 100,000 men would have prevented this war and given security from attack. Yet Congress has foolishly pro- vided that when the war is over the army shall fall back to 27,000 m2n. Yet Congress- men chatter about a vigorous foreign pol- icy. What unmitigated nonsense such a policy would be for a country with a weak fleet and no army. ———_ + oe —___ The Helplessness of Torpedo Boats. From the New York Commercial Advertiser. Torpedo beats are terrible in offense, but pewerless in deferre. This will be realized more fully than now before the end of the war. The Incident of the Winslow shows hew plees a torpedo boat is when an enemy gains a fair chance to make her a arget. Torpedo boat service is the most angerous in the navy, especially in recon- neitering duty up shallow harbors. The tcmptation is strong to use torpedo boats in shoal water, where they can accomplish werk that gunboats cannot do. With all this understcod, young naval officers prefer torpedo boa: service to any other. Any young lieutenant would rather command 2 200-ton torpedo boat and take his chance of the fate of Ensign Bagley than be ex- ecutive officer of a 12,000-ton battle ship. ‘The race of heroes is not extinct. ———_ e»____ Very Probably. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, The Nicaragua canal, if built, would help the United Stetes greatly these days. It would shorten by many thousand miles the distance to be traversed by our war vessels in passing from our eastern coast to our western line. if this canal had been in ex- istence the Oregon would have arrived at Key West several weeks ago, and Samp- son's squadron would be strengthened to this extent. We could send ships from Cu- ban waters to reinforce Dewey, if he was threatened, quicker than Spain could send vessels from Cadiz to his vicinity. The military advantages which the canal would afford to the United States in the present war would almost equal, if transmuted into money, the cost of its construction. There is a very strong probability that the United States will build the canal soon after this war ends. —__~+ e+ — You get satisfaction when you buy at 3 Hoeke's. Special Pecials.
