Senator Morgan's Warning. Saturday's session of the Senate was not- able not alone for its effectual disclosure of the filibustering purposes of the handful of anti-annexationists in that chamber. It brought from one of the most prominent democrats in the Senate a solemn warning to his party of the dangers that confront those peliticians who, in this hour of the government's need, forget their duties to country and seek only to secure some tem- porary and questionable partisan advan- tage by antagonizing the administration in the conduct of the war. Senator Morgan stands today as one of the truest types of the southern American. In all his record Shere is no stain of unprogressiveness. In this matter of Hawaii he has every fight to speak as he spoke Saturday. No man better understands the situation with regard to those islands. He has studied them from all points of view and is ardent- ly in favor of annexation. His motives can not be questioned. The slurs cast upon them are unworthy of the least considera- tion. Senator Morgan's uprightness and sincerity are beyond question and when he ses to warn his colleagues of the folly of persistent partisanship in the face of a public enemy he does his country a service that is entitled to enduring memory. There is need for just such plain talking as that which came from the Senator from Alabama Saturday. The democrats who act ir opposition to the government in its efforts to prosecute this war successfully are en- dangering themselves in threatening their country. They must be addressed with the directness and plainness of speech that may not always be found in the congres- sional debates. The time has come for straight speeech and Senator Morgan is one of the men of all men to deliver it. His words cut through the veneer of sen- atorial courtesy and exposed the sham of the filfbustering devices of the opposition. Aside from the immediate consequences of this affair in the Senate, the warning given by Senator Morgan to his democratic and populistic colleagues will have a far reaching effect. The other day Senator Teller, a leader among the advocates of free coinage, revealed the fact that there is a wide schism among them in regard to this matter of the annexation of Hawaii and the conduct of the war. The division de Pes ts has already been indicat- the adtion on Hawaii and on the s’-vote bill in the House. But jt re- mained for Senator Morgan, speaking with all the prestige of broken party record as a democrat of the old school, as a leader of the ht in the seuth as one of the men in his party, to do for the democracy what Senator Teller did for the forces. more than mere rhetoric in the the venerable Alabamian. The of this country want this war con- without the intervention of puiitical They want the Hawaiian is- ed promptly. They want the administration upheid in its military enter- prises, and the men who permit partisan Prejudices or considerations of personal comfort or questionable motives to infiu- ence them in opposing these ends will be rebuked. The democratic party is entering upon the rockiest read in all its course if it people fails to profit by the warning words of dobr. T. Morgan. oe _ Why should we not be proud of our boys? Look the way they have behaved ail he line, and then hat off if you can. use to take your New York Herald. No one has had any doubts about the youth of the country. Some of the older people here in Washington at the Capitol are the @nes who have been causing anxi- ety. —_+ +2 ____ To adopt the policy of leaving the Phitip- pines to estabiish an independent govern- ment would be to place a terribie tempta- tion in the way of Europe. see If there ever is a “Senator from Hawaii,” he can doubtiess be depefided on not to risk his prestige at home by any filibuster- Ing taetr s+ oe _____- Camara at Port Said. The arrival of Camara’s squadron at Port Said, the northern entrance to the Suez canal, is in line with all expectations, based upon the sighting of the vessels in. the Mediterranean, eastward bound. Some sur- prise is expressed, nowever, at the charac- ter of the vessels composing the squadron, which was at one time reported as com- prising no armerciads. It would appear from the list that is sent from Port Said that there is very little reason to fear the outcome of any collision between the ene- ™my and the ships under Admiral Dewey, especially after his reinforcement with. the Charleston and Monterey, which are cer- tain to have arrived at Manila before Camara can possibly reach there. Mean- while, there is no certainty that the Span- ish squadron will reach the Philippines. ‘Word has already been received that the British authorities have refused Camara permission to coal, pending final orders from London, the United States consul tak- ing the initiative in filing a protest. If this permission should be finally denied there is no guarantee that the Spanish coms Mander will not find the same difficulty elsewhere on his route, inasmuch as Great Britain controls practically all the avail- able coaling points from Port Said to Ma- nila, and unless he is accompanied by col- Ners of exceptional capacity he will ex- baust his immediate supply before he can jaake the latter port. There is some sug- Bestion of his being met at the southern end of the canal by lighters~presumably colliers—from which he can ‘replenish his Stock. There is no difficulty in the way of the free passage of the canal by this squad- ron, in spite of its military charaeter and evidently warlike errand. The convention f IS88 governing the management of the ¢anal amply provides for the passage of ali Warships, no matter what their business: ‘There is no question, {t would now seem, as to the ability of the fleet to pass as regards the draught of water. The canal will ac- commodate vessels of twenty-six feet, whereas the Pelayo and the Carlos V, the two largest and heaviest ships in the fleet, éraw twenty-four feet eleven inches and twenty-five feet, respectively. Unless. they #re unusually deep in the water, owing to extra loads in contemplation of the long Voyage, these ships can pass the shaliowest p@nts in the waterway. There may be Some doubt as to the ability of the Spanish {stare to furnish satisfactory guar- of meeting the heavy canal tolls, ‘which are estimated at nearly $100,000. There have evidences now and again of such financial straits ‘surrounding . the Spanish government that even this rela- tively small DH! might not be promptly met. ‘The closest estimate of the speed of the Beet results in a belief that Camara cannot get to Manila, if he should go all the way there, before July 22. There is a growing Suspicion that there would be little sincere —e at Madrid in governmental circles if should develop that this fleet could not proceed all the way, meeting-some:“unex- pected” obstacle, such as a refusal to per- mit recoaling, too great a draught in-the canal on account of the extra cargoes of the ships, or some other convenient reason that would operate to prevent carrying out the ostensible program. The almost cer- tain defeat and destruction or capture of these ships by the Dewey forceS-is not’a pleasant prospect for Spain to contemplate and there is a suspicion that this entire move is a shrewd maneuver solely for ef- fect upon the disgruntled patriots who are ¢lamoring for action. ——_—~+s__ A Comparinon. It was suggested in the Senate Saturday, if to justify the filibuster against: the annexation of Hawail, that a filibuster was condueted in that body in the Fifty-third Congress against the-repeal of the purchas- ing clause of the Sherman act. He must be a@ poorly informed individual indeed who cannot see the difference between the two situations. The-democratic triumph of 1892-was won on the tariff issue.” The country voted for a revision of the tariff on anti-protection lires, the McKinley bill being then in force, and many prominent democrats urged upon Mr. Cleveland the advisability of calling Congress together in extra sessior in the spring of 1893 for the purpose of passing a Lew tariff bill. But Mr. Cleveiand; true to his instincts to have his own way, and par- ticularly to antagonize whatever he has reason to believe the country desires, put aside the suggestion and let matters: drift. He had an idea, moreover, that an extra sessicn of Congress would overwhelm him with applications for office, and he rather enjoyed keeping the democracy hungry. A financial panic developed soon after the new administration came in, and by midsummer was sweeping the country. Mr. Cleveland took alarm, and saw that some- thing must be dore. He called Congre: together in extra session, but wholly ig- unered the tariff question and asked for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man act. Here, in the language of Mr. W. S.- Gil- bert, was “a state of things.” The democ- racy as a party was for free silver. It knew that Mr. Cleveland was a sound money man, but it had elected him. Pres dent on the tariffissue. It stood for the moment, therefore, paralyzed by his ma- neuver. Upon recovering use of itself it rebeHed at what it openly characterized as a betrayal of trust, and from that moment Mr. Cleveland ceased to be the leader of the democratic party. He was forced to rely upon the republican party, whose financial policy he was in effect adopting, to carry the measure he had proposed through. When the measure reached the Senate there reaily was no telling precisely how that body stood. Debate was in order, and genuine debate began. Debate degen- erated into acrimony, and acrimony begat a filtbuster. Patronage was freely used by Mr. Cleveland, as everybody knows, and at st a majority for the measure stood con- fessed. Then the filibuster broke down and the measure was parsed. How utterly unl'ke that !s this Haw: measure {s apparent ct a glance. The ele ment of surprise is wholly wanting. The charge of a betrayal of pa’ ss not and, cannot be brought. The sentiment of the Senate is as well known as though it stood formally deelared by votes. Not majority but nearly two-thirds of body are for the Newlands resolution. has voted for it by a magor! most as large as the entire democratic membership. The country demands it. Who stand in the way? Mr. Cleveland, who wants to be President again, a few sena- tors through pride of personal opinion, and the Sugar Trust. Cleveland, Havemeyer, Spreckels & Co. That is the name of the firm doing business just now for Spain. —_ + += -—___ Carrying the War Eastward. The war situation takes on a new phase in view of the government's an- nounced purpose of sending a strong squad- Tron eastward to carry the war to the coast of Spain, and possibly to ‘bottle’ Camara’s vessels in the Mediterranean. For. some weeks there have been rumors of this in- tention, but only at the present interesting Juncture, with Spain's squadron at the east- ern end of the Mediterranean seeking ad- mission to the Suez canal, is the plan fully disclosed. The vessels selected for the work constitute a fairly strong fighting force, assuredly as powerful as the ships under Camara, and probably capable ot caring for any tasks in the way of assault or defense that may be encountered. The Iowa and the Oregon are the best of their kind, and the Newark, while only a “pro- tected” cruiser, is nevertheless regarded as an efficient ship for war purposes. The three auxiliary cruisers assigned to Ad- miral Watson for this enterprise are capa- ble of good work under the support of such ships as the Iowa and the Oregon. Tho squadron will sail well provided with coal in three convoys and in all respects will present a front that is calculated to create the destred tmpression upon the Spanish mind.‘ It may be that in the course of this expedition the Canary Islands will be occu- pied as a base, in which event the first fighting of the cruise may be reported from there, under circumstances somewhat simi- lar to those of the battle fought May 1 in Manila bay. It is to be hoped and expect- ed that the results of such a conflict will be the same as those achieved by Dewey. ——-+2—____ After figuring out the chances of escape, both Blanco and Cervera will begin to sus- pect that the men who sank the Merrimac are not the only prisoners of war in Cuba. ——+e2—___ a n only a that The masses im Spain are not proper ob- jects of sympathy in the present crisis. Any governmental change is likely to mean a betterment of their condition: . poo S 8 o Ex-President Cleveiand’s remarks seldom do anything more than remind the public of his retirement from: public life. Spain has no further reason to complain‘ that the fighting in Cuba is confined to guerilla skirmishes. ——_- -__ Horton's method of homicide would make him an estgemed member of any Spanish army. More Amertean Heroism, The further details of the skirmish last Friday at La Quasina, in which several Americans were killed and others were Wounded, reflect the greatest credit upon the invaders; They fought with courage and skill worthy of-veterans, although those who received the brunt of the enemy’s fire were volunteers. It now appears that the able leadership of Col. Wood and Lieut. Col. Roosevelt was largely responsible for the victory of the American forces, after they had. been fired upon from ambush with such disastrous effect. There-may be some ques- tion of the wisdom of sending these men forward inte the brush, and perhaps: it will be found that the “rough riders” ‘were car- red by their enthusiasm™ into a pitfall which might have been avoided.’ But these questions -may™ well be put aside’ for the time in the contemplation of the splendid work that was‘done-by the men when ‘they fcund themselves- under fire. .

Discontent. “It's a scandalous waste of time!” re- marked one Havana soldier, disconsolately. “You mean all this drilling?” inquired an- other. “Yes, They keep us marching and salut- ing;day after day. What they. do is-to divide us into squads and organize com- petitive drills to'see which can get a ‘flag of truce up the quickest.” Circumstances. “Death is the base deserier’s fate, The Spanish soldier paused to sing. “But if the leaders of our state Are seized with fear and abdicate, Of course that’s quite a different thing.” An Argument. “Why should. I encourage free libraries?” said the congressman with a lay-down col- Ja nd thick-scled shoes. ‘Don't you want to encourage the reading of standard books?” “I dunno’ as I do. I never seen one yet that had any puffs of me in it.” “Dar isn’ much comfort in de remahk dat contentment is better dan riche: said Uncle Eben. “One is jes’ about as hahd to git as de other.” “I must strenucusly object,” said Senator Scrghum, “to being put on record as ob- jecting to annexation on the theory that it will enlarge and complicate our politica! machinery.’ “But you are opposed to annexation?” “Of course. But I can’t stand by the proposition that we don't want to provide for more officeholders and give me 4 chance at more patronege. I have my rea- sens, but those ere not them.” A Diplomatic Problem. “Did you call for me?” inquired the dip- lorat. “Yes,"" replied the European monarch. “We must convey to these Americans and to our own subjects the impression that we are a fearless, aggressive and dicta- terial government which is going to have things its own way every time.” “Yes?” “And what I want your advice about Is how to do this without annoying any other gcvernment so that it may lose its tem- per.” Another Elevator.

From the Philadelphia Thnes (ind), A very large majority of the United S:ates senators are in favor of the resol uon recently adopted by the House ann ing Hawaii tq the United States, but a small minority is opposed to the annexa- ticn, and the Senate is now threatened with days, and probably wecks, of delay- babbling from senators. When the fathers of the republic founded cur government the United States Senate was fashioned as one of the chief checks and balances of our free institutions. Hav- ing but twenty-six members, and they al- most wholly made up from the ranks of the most distinguished and dignified men of the nation, the Senate, in organizing as the first legislative tribunal of the republic, de- cided that it would be a reproach upon the dignity and self-respect of its members, to miuke any closure rule to determine de- bate and bring the Senate to a vote. It was assumed that no senator could ever so far forget the dignity of his position as to attempt to delay a vote by a carefully planned succession of speeches. For very many years, indeed for nearly three-quarters of a century, no member of the Senate was ever accused of speaking in that body ehiefly-or wholly for the pur- pese of delaying a vote. Had any at- tempted it, the senator doing so would have forfeited the respect of his associ- ates; buz today there is so little apprecia- tion of the dignity and decorum which should prevail in the United States Senate that senators openly confess their purpose to speak indefinitely to prevent a majority frem ching a vote. There is now no mere dignity in a United States senatorial debate than there is in the select council of this city, and as senators now unhesi- tetingly plan to defeat important legisla- tive action in the Senate by indefinite bab- bling solely for delay, it is quite time that a closure rule should be adopted by that body. The only reason why the closure rule was regarded as an affront to the body in the early days of the republic has long since perished, and the United States Senate is the only body in the country where a ma- jcrity cannot, under the rules, force a vote afer a reasonable debate. The absence of the rule, so far from maintaining the dig- nity of the Senate, has belittled, disgraced and demoralized the body, and one of the first things the Senate should do ts to adopt a rule, providing that the majority may tix a time for a‘vote on any question. It is inherently right and it would save the Sen- ate from a disgraceful exhibition of delay- babbling, in what is by courtesy called senatorial debate. ——>12e—___ Fifteen Men Against Seventy Millions From the New York fun. Actual filibustering began in the Senate on Saturday on the part of the gahg 12d by Pettigrew; White and Jones.- The numerical strength of the filibusters, as disclosed by the votes-on. Allan’s dila- tory motions, at ao time exceeded fifteen, which was their vote onthe initial test lasi Monday. Here, then, in a Senate of ninzty seats we have a gang of about fifteen obstructioniste organized to prevent a vote upon a measure which the government needs for war pur- pos2s, the country demands and the House has passed by a great majority, and the Senate itself desires to pass in accordance with the nation’s will. The power to do this, if the gang really had the power, would constitute the only serious dang2r now menacing American in- stitutions. Against such opposition as this the ma- jority must act. It must act, if necessary, through the presiding officer of the Senate, who is the Vice Presidsnt of the United States and a man of forcible character and undoubted: patriotiem. And then?
