It enables to get well acquainted with one au- take one another's measure; to wn together in gcod comradeship shock of battle puts them all upon their mettle. This is of vaiue in any army, but it has @ special value in our army. The country is large. and visiting between the sections is limited to comparatively a few people. Many northern and western men will now e the south; will for the first time be n intimately with large bodies of southern men. A friendly rival- s out of praiseworthy sectional t up in many ways, the com- mon purpose being to render the common cause the best possible service. The men will work the harder, therefore, in prepar- ing themselves, and later will fight the better. for the opportunity they are now enjoying to grow into one another’s spirit and aspirations. There will be excellent results, too, from the plan adopted of brigading the troops; frem putting men from different sections side by side. What northern man will not ride with keenest zest behind General Lee, or Wheeler, or Butle What soutifern man will not give the heartiest support to General Brooke, or Shafter, or Wilson? This is all that remains of sectionalism. All is friendly rivalry new for the united coun The men of the different sections have only to be brought together and to know one another to appreciate how loyal all are to the general welfare. The south- ern man has no thought of permitting his northern brother to go beyond him in devo- tion to the country, and he has only to go into camp with his northern brother to spur him up and in turn to be spurred up by him. ‘These days are far from being wasted. The men themselves may be impatient to move; the strategy boards of the curbstone and the hotel lobby may froth with indig- pation and disgust; but successful action can only follow intelligent preparation, and time spent in preparation knits men to- gether strongly against the enemy. ee The District Regiment in Demand. There seems to be some question about the exact duty to be assigned to the Dis- trict volunte regiment in the forthcom- ivities outlined for the military Orders have been issued, it is noted, for the regiment to proceed from Camp Thomas to Tampa, there presum- ably to await transportation to Santiago, San Juan or some other point in the West Indian field of action. At the same time it is stated that General Merritt has been granted permission to choose the volun- teer regiments needed to complete the complement of men to be sent to the Phil- ippines and that he has selected the Dis- trict regiment among them. The Tampa orders have the most direct significance, and it seems likely therefore that the Washington boys will soon be participat- ing in t ampaign in this vicinity. It is gratifying to note both of these sugges- tions, that leading to the Cuban expedi- tion and that pointing toward Manila, for they show that the military authorities ap- preciate the excellent condition in which the District regiment took the field. The woful lack of equipment to be noted in every camp of concentration as the volun- teers report for duty 1s in sharp contrast with the smart appearance and excellent cendition of the District men, who were thoroughly outfitted the first day of the complete muster. Of course clothes alone do not make soldiers, but the uniforms in- dicate care in preparation and may be ac- cepted as a type of the completeness with which the necessary detalis of equipment n provided. A very large per- centage of the District volunteers were from th the lea of discipline and camp expe- rience is exceptionally abundant in this local material. These facts appeal to the commanders and it is inevitable that under the prevailing conditions such well pro- vided, well drilled and well conditioned n as the Washington volunteers should chosen for active service at the first tribution of the army among the va- rious points of expressions of public opinion in re- 1 to Mr. Reed's selfish obstruction policy Must be unpleasant reading to him, but they may teach him a wholesome lesson if he is aot utterly blind. +o —___ ‘The manner in which Spain adopts a pol- icy of isolation is a reminder of the way + Wellington consents to go out of + +e—__ nator Mason has been spar:d one form ck.

Sena mantlik Gressed or Gorman struck a broad, states- plane last Friday when he ad- the Senate in deprecation of the partisan efforts of a majority of the finance com’ to overload the war revenue bill wit? ely, unsafe and experimental amendments. His talk on that occasion was straightforward and frank. It sounded the clear note of warning to his demo- cratic Ss that they were trending dangerously toward factionalism at a time | when the yrgent demand ts for united ac- tion along the lines of safety and patriot- ism. war, Mr. Gorman showed, is ing heavily now and will probably cost en more heavily in the future than the estimates indicate. The need for revenue is pressing. Wars have always been con- ed with the ald of bonds. No great tion has ever undertaken a serious cam- nh against either a domestic or a for- eign foe without resorting to the expe- Gient of borrowing. The ordinary measures for raising revenue are not retied upon in time of such stress. Hostilities disturb many conditions and render the usual de- vices of governmental support hazardous. Mr. Gorman likewise urged that the prop- ranks of the militia, and thus | titled to unstinted praise from alt Amert- cans. His plea for action in harmony with the nation’s needs-was worthy of men who have oftener broken away from factional confinements for the country’s good. The keynote of this speech was action. Its inspiration was the urgent necessity of the government for money wherewith to carry on this war as befits a great na- tion engaged in a serious work of reform and liberation. Mr. Gorman is sufficiently well versed in the ways and means of revenue legislation to know that the adop- tion by the Senate of the various proposi- tions brought forward by a majority of the finance committee would surely delay the bill itself indefinitely, causing a long and complicated controversy in conference and perhaps ultimately embarrassing the government in its ordinary as well as its extraordinary undertakings. In such an emergency he sees hope only in the right of the President to issue bonds under the act of 1875 for the maintenance of the gold reserve, an indirect expedient already util- zed and justified by events. Thus he sees that in any turn of the case the nation must borrow money for its great under- taking, and his advice to abandon in this connection the foolish schemes of popu- lism and free-silverism is sound and should be heeded. = —_—__+ +e —____ The Reciprocity Program Opened. ‘The announcement that a new commercial convention has been negotiated with France is a welcome one. It shows that, busy as we are with Spain, we yet have time for other things, and that we are proceeding upon the confident calcuiation that the con- clusion of the war will find us still in shir shape for all the essential affairs of every- day life. It puts a quietus on talk about foreign intervention, and confirms all pre- vious assertions ihat, in the matter of hos- tiliti we are dealing with Spain alone. The principle of reciprecity has a hearty American indorsement. It is the American plan, indeed, for the judicious enlargement of trade boundaries. Absolute free trade has never had more than a handful of sincere advocates in the United States, but freer trade has for some years been not only a demand, but a necessity. The Srowth of the country in the matter both of production and consumption has dem- onstrated that if we are to keep up with the procession and, particularly, take and hold the place in the procession to which we are entitied. we must establish good commercial relations with the outside world. This duty to ourselves is plainer now than ever. This war with Spain has shown us our place among the nations. Our move- menis are considered of world-wide im- portance. The bare suggestion of perma- nent American control of the Philippines forces a recast of the whole eastern prob- lem, with the United States reckoned as one of the foremost factors in the new commercial equation. But, leaving out the question of increased territory, the question of increased trade still remains. Consumers of the latest products are rapidly multiplying. The United States has a great deal to offer and at the same time is seeking much. It will continue to hold the home markets for the home products, but that will not inter- fere with opening them to many things upon terms which will induce other na- tions to come here to sell and increase im- portations very considerably. This convention with France is the first under the Dingiey law, but others are to follow, and probably before another year has rolled around reciprocity will again be, as it was under the McKinley law, a source of profit and advantage to the coun- try in many directions. It is now disclosed that one of the shells fired from Sampson's feet at San Juan stopped the town clock. It does not require a Spanish shell to queer the work of the clock in Washivgton that serves in this ca- pacity. ‘The dial in the post office tower would not be observable far 2nough away, under any circumstances, to afford a con- spicuous mark tor hostile gunners. —_—_-e+_—__ After Uncle Sam's forbearance toward the Lafaytte neither Spain nor France should find it in their hearts to question any cour- tesies which Great Britain may show the Ugited States. ———_++2___ The scientist who predicts that the lan- guages which will ultimately survive are Russian, English and Chinese offers a strong inducement for European immigra- tien.

From the Chicago Chronicle (dem.) There appears to be good ground for the statement in ths Washington dispatches that Speaker Reed is organizing a faction in Congress against President McKinley. They are old rivals in the republican party. McKinley has risen to a higher place than Reed, but Reed means to succeed him as President in 1900 or he will know the rea- son why. Reed is getting along in years. He has an insatiable desire to be President of the United Stat2s. In 1900 he will be sixty-two years old. But few men over sixty years of age ever have been chosen for President. McKinley wants to be renominated in 1900. That will be Reed's last chance, for in 1904, it he lives, ne will -be sixty-six years old. It will be too late in life to cherish aspira- ons for the presidency. it will, therefore, be umierstood that ail the opposition which the Sp2aker organizes against the policy of the President is a part of the opening campaign for the republican presidential nomination in 1900. It 1s un- fortunate beyond description that while a «reat foreign war is in progress the f2uds and factions of the republican party should divide public sentiment and confuse the ac- tion of Congress. But the patriotism of the people will rise also above this difficulty. The quarrels in- sid> of the republican party will not be per- mittea to impede the progress of the coun- try toward its certain victory: ————2+2—___ Reed's Feeble Excuse Laughed at. Washington Dispatch to the New York Journal. Speaker Reed’s troubled care that con- gressmen will not have time to attend to their campaigns if they are allowed to stay SHOOTING SPARS. Lofty. “Is that young man a person of lofty ideals?” inquired the girl who reads poetry. “Lofty ideals!” repeaied Miss Cay2nne, “I should say so. He won't be content till he has raised the price of wheat to $2.” Dangerous Industry. “We must be carsful,"” quoth the bee. “There isa’t any doubt, That if the sugar trust should see How, for this land, with sweets we're free, | 'Twould try to keep us out.” The Question of Sustenance. “What are we going to do?” inquired a Spanish officer who was taking account of provisions. “We'll have to wait till they come in and attack vs,” replied the admiral. “But they won't come in.” “Well, in that case, I don’t see anything for us to do except to go ashore, and see if we can’t run a farm. Saccharine. “Reverge is sweet!’ exclaimed the un- criginal man. : “That's what it is," remarked S2naior Sorghum approvingly. “I guess some of those Hawaiian opponents of the sugar trust will realize it before they get an- nexed.” Thoughtless. “It was a great, mistake,” said the Mad- rid press censor thoughtfully. “To whet do you refer?” inquired the cabinet member. “Permitting the papers to call those Americans ‘Yankee pigs.’ After having be- littled thera with that epithet we will never in the world be able to explain how they came to whip us.” Hard Times for Oracles.

I like to "blige my neighbors, But it keeps me on the rack A-tellin’ what has happened an’ A-takin’ of it back. —__+ Shameful Timidity of the House Re- publicans, From the Chicago Tritune (rep.) Mr. Reed is preventing Hawaiian legisla- tion in defiance of the wishes of a majority of his party in Congress and of the people. This action on his part, coming on the heels of his obstructive policy regarding the Cuban question, is more than tne peo- ple can endure. They are weary of his arrogant use of power. There were a good many persons in this part of the country .two years ago who thought it would be wise to make Mr. Reed President. A study of his course as Speak- er during the last year has convinced them that he is too much governed by his preju- dices and his enmities to ve a safe Presi- dent. Embittered by the defeat of his presi- dential hopes, he has antagonized the ad- ministraticn. He has opposed its measures without gcod reason for so doing. Repub- licens do not select as presidential can- aidates persons who have no policy except the gratification of their reveages. It is singular that the republican repre- sentatives, who are the immediate victims of Speaker Reed’s methods, do not ert themselves and put him wnere he belongs. They are the majority of the House. He is not, though he acts as if he were. They can depose him from his dictatorship, and there is no reason why they should be es- pecially considerate of his feelings in do- ing so. He has been a hard master. His rranners and his methods have been so tyrannical that it is strange the members have submitted to them so long. At this time Mr. Reed is standing be- tween the pcople and Hawaii. They wish him to get out of the way. If he does not they wish him to be run over by the ma- jerity. The people cannot understand way the republican members should hesitate to hold a caucus and overrule the Speaker. The timidity which those members are dis- playing is surprising. It is shameful and discreditable to them and to their party. They behave as if they were afratd of the Speaker. Yet they gave him the power which he has abused and they can take it away from him. They cannot do it too quickly to please republicans in this part of the country. ——rr+oe—___ Reed’s Contempt for Everybody and Everything. Washington Dispatch to the Boston Globe. Much more then mere opposition to the annexation of Hawaii Hes behind Speaker Reed’s antagonism. He has always been against the war, and speaks of it now in terms of sarcastic con- tempt. He wants Congress to adjourn, with the retention of the Philippines endangered through lack of action on Hawaii, and he is in hopes that the President ‘will, as soon as the Senate departs, conclude a treaty of reace upen any terms with Spain. He is averse to seeing any glory rest upon the adimnistration of President Mc- Kinley, and if he could have his way peace would be concluded even under the present condition of affairs. ——__+ +e ___ Only in the Interest of Spain. Frem the Cincinnati Enquirer (dem.) We question no man’s motive in either house of Congress who opposes the acquisi- tion by the United States of this inestima- ble advantage, but we do say that the American people will expect some appar- ently reasonable explanation why this ac- quisition should be rejected, or its rejec- tion advocated by any American repre- sentative. No interest on earth can be subserved at this time except that of Spain by cutting the United States off from the immediate possession of the Sandwich Islands. A vote against such annexation is an act of hostility to the administration and a declaration against the occupation for any purpose whatever of the Philippine Islands. —_—__+ + +____ Danger Ahead for Reed. From the Columbus Dispatch. In the meantime, the struggle at Wash- ington over the annexation resolution con- tinues, Speaker Reed is not as tractable as it was hoped he would be. He has not abso- lutely refused to permit the resolution to ccme toga vote in the House, but he has thus far withheld his consent. His attitude is consid2red dangerous to himself, for he is opposing the wishes of the great majority of the republicans who placed the Speaker's power in his hands. There has as yet been no open breach, but it is not to b> ques- tioned that, if there is not an early compli- ance, there will be an explosion. There is @ hint of a republican caucus on this que: tion, and if there is the powsr of the Speak er, as it was created, will be broken. Hav- ing been broken in one case, it will be more apt to be broken in others; th> good that has been derived from the rigid discipline of the rules will go with the bad, and Speaker Regg will go with tt. Reed Will Not Be Tolerated. Washington Dispatch to Chicago Tribune (rep.) Many letters are being received from all sections of the country which show a pro- nounced sentiment in favor of annexation. The events of the last month have changed cenditions, and this government is justified in annexation on the ground of the strat- egic value of the islands alone. Fortified by these letters the friends of the little island O00000 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1898-14 PAGES, “OPENING” ONOOEHOQQOOGOO a -Qlla=PA-AVE: (Saccesshrs to Clark & Co.) §-h-i-r-t W-a-i-s-t B-a-rig-a-i-n-s-.
