Coal and the Nicaragua Canal. ‘The great importance to the United States of the Nicarasua canal has been clearly demonstrated in several of the de- yelopments of the war with Spain. First, came the long trip of the Oregon to join fleet off Cuba, when, had the en in existence, three weeks would sufficed, instead of the three months umed. The transfer of the ship to At- canal Jantic waters proved to be a most wise provision, for in the fight off Santiago the Oregon took rank as one of the best boats in the line, and in the chase after the Cristobal Colon she supplemented the pow- ers of a battle ship with the speed of a fast cruiser. But the long trip around subjected her to a heavy strain. s cnly because she proved to be of crack construction that she was able to go at once into action with the fleet and give so admirable an account of herself. Then came the question of coal,” which, it was soon seen, would play a prominent part, not only in this war, but in future wars where sea fighting would~be a fea- ture. Battle ships and fast cruisers with- out coal are as helpless as without guns or powder, and that ccuntry whose provicions for coal for its fleets are lacking cannot be accounted as strong on the Statistics as to the world’s coal supply are instructive on this point. The Un States and Great Britain supply two-thirds of all the coal mined. Great Britain heads the list of producers, with the United States standir ond. But nearly the whole American supply comes from the country east of the Recky mountains. The pessibilities in Alaska have not as y ascertained, but even unusual 4 ments there would not meet the ments of the case now that the Pac! to be the theater of such tremendun tivities, with the United S irent actor in the drama. Nor would it be possible to reme@: difficulty simply by utilizing the. ratir across the continent. They would not be sufficient to land such supplies as will be needed. But the canal, supplementing those means of moving coal to the Pacific, Would solve the question completely ana to the American advantage.

The war with Spain is bringing many patriotic rejoicing and of un- enthusiasm, but it is likewise me causes for national sham iment but that of deep humil- jation can be felt in view df the unspeak- able conditions that existed on the trans- port Concha, which arrived in New York yesterday from Santiago by way of Nor- fclk, laden with sick and wounded soldiers. Is it not as needful for the gevernment to strike vigoro at the root of this evil as for it to coaduct a sharp campaign against Spain? It will be lastingly dis- sreceful If the world shall be permitted to understand that while Americans can fight their battles bravely and skilfully, they cannot adequately attend to their sick and weunded. No one blames the authorities, medical or military, for the prevalence of fever among the troops at the front. That was one of the grave risks of the war, and par- ticularly of the plan of campaign calling for an immediate invasion. Probably no human power could have prevented the tremendous sick roll of the army before Santiago. But porte ng connected with the trans- of the sick and wounded from the front seems to be going hap-hazard. ‘The Seneca came up with a of medicines and applianc Jesson she should have taught the officials in charge certain vital needs. That they did not learn is shown by the experience of the men on the Concha. Foul drinking water is bad for well men, but it is next dcor to murder to give it to sick cies. The lack of food, both as to quantity cud as to is said to have caused deaths on the journey Some hitch at the first land- point caus d the disgraceful delay of the ship with unburied corpses on board.

Bismarck was the empire, and what the kaiser has now under his control and direction is the work of the greatest man in all the history of the Ger- man people. Bismarck’s task called for the very qual- itles which he possessed. To succeed he must make himself feared both at home and abroad. He could not hope to win it he played for the affections of men. His ends were beyond the ordinary comprehen- sion and possible only to the man who could command untaltering loyalty on the part of his countrymen. He proceeded ac- cording to the requirements of the situa- tion. His was the all-sufficient intelligence — will power, and he moulded the German ntates and the German people without Simoulty to the purposes he had in view. His success was extraordinary and he took his place as one of the colossal figures of the century and the very foremost man of his race. There is no one to dispute with him the palm of having brought the Ger- man people together and forward to a piace in the front rank of the nations. A great man’s fallures often grow logical- ly out of his successes. This was distinct- jy true of Bismarck. Having created the Germ. empire and secured for it the re- spect of the world, he grew to feel not only ownership of the fabric, but an ability to carry through with it all the ends which to him seemed wise. Hence his conflict wita the Pope and his challenge to the social democrats of the realm. Hence, also, his differences with the kaiser, which resulted in his retirement from office. He clearly overreached himself in the last instance and discovered that the builder of an em- pire has his limitations in the use of it. But the German statesman’s failures were small in comparison with his successes. He was a very great man. Im bold initia- tive. in unconquerable courage, in constructe ive faculty his place is in the first class. The man who could weld a powerful nation out of the little prinetpalities which he took in hand—all easily fired by jealousies and each proud and even vain of its traditions—was in every way remarkable as a statesman and a leader. Bismarck during his later years had come to express some unfriendliness for the United States. But, in effect, it was a trib- ute to our prosperity and rapidly increasing importance. His love for Germany was consumingly strong and he saw in the na- tion across the water not only the triumph of democracy, which he did not like, but a rival of his country for the expanding trade of the world. And he made no mis- take about the situation. ——__+ +o —___ Godkin and Croker. The New York Evening Post advises President McKinley to exert himself for an early peace lest his chances for a second term: be jeopardized. Wars breed: heroes, and such heroes in the United States some- times become dangerous in politics. The President must keep his eyes on Dewey, et al. When Richard Croker landed the other day he was told that Col. Roosevelt’s name was being canvassed in connection with the republican nomination for governor of New York. Whereupon Mr. Croker asked if Col. Roosevelt had been wounded. He thought a wound might help the colonel’s candi- dac: Captain Blifil and Black George always take about the same measure of men and things. Neither believes in anybody. Both are convinced that small selfishness and de- pravity are the only springs of human ac- tion, and both advise operations according- ly. Captain Blifil is certain that Mr. Mc- Kinley would sell his country for a second term in the White House, and Black George cah see no other reason for Col. Roosevelt's enlistment than a shrewd play for political preferment. With respect to the President it is strange the Evening Post cannot see that its ad- vice is bad. He must be extremely cau- tious, even if he has no higher idea of his office than that ascribed to him. The ques- tion is not one of peace but of an advan- tageous peace. The war, fought under his general direction, has been a most decided success. Practically the only thing that remains is to garner wisely the fruits of it. Upon that problem the President is now engaged. If he should trip there—should negotiate a peace simply for peace’s sake— he would inevitably injure himself. _ Wis- dom is as necessary now as it has been at any time since hostilities began. But, as a matter of fact, the President's persenal interests are identical with the country’s interests. He need not theme for himself. He has only to consider, as his character insures that he will, the good of the country. If he negotiates a peace which shall even approximately bear a comparison with the war, his indorsement in his high place by the country will be a certainty. soe Ponce’s WefRome. The manner in which Ponce, the largest city in Porto Rico, surrendered to the American commanders indicates that the ccnditions for permanent American occupa- tion of the island are indeed ripe. The cit- izens and ev2n the officials cheered their captors as Iberators, welcoming them as though they were a reinforcing instead of a conquering army. Unless Ponce Is a pecu- Mar city, unlike anything else in Porto Rico, it is to be assumed that the same scenes will greet th2 advancing forces throughout their progress to San Juan. At that city it is to be expected that there will be fighting. It represents Spain's center of power. In it ar2 assembled her army and that she will resist the advance of the American troops is to be expected. But she can not score a victory. Her forces there are small and th> fall of the city will be merely a question of time and cost. The scenes at Ponce show, indeed, the rottenness of the Spanish cause and the mockery of her rul2 in the West Indies. She has ground down the native people and has failed to provide adequately even for thi closely allied to her by birth and blood. She has done nothing to win th> affes ns and the loyalty of the dwellers in these colonies and everything to alienate them. The few who rémain true to her are bound by ties of money alone. They are by ho means representativ: It is, indeed, an id situation for the 2xtension of the American rule. The people are ready for adoption. They are intelligent enough to appreciate the advantages of the republican system and they can foresee the prosperity and th happiness that will come to them with an American governor. Freed from the corrupt practices of Spanish offi- cials, gradually participating in their own administrations, prospering under the influ- ence of American commercial investments, they will profit by this act of war as hava few peoples in history. Those cheers at Ponce were heartfelt. They were not the sullen mutterings of a conquer2d people, but the glad voices of a liberated nation, wel- coming the advance guard of freedom. ———_ + +2 ____ Richard Croker {s not afraid of the new men whom the war has developed and pro- poses to assume a prominent part in na- tional affairs.

New York and Brooklyn's transportation problem has become additionally compll- cated through the “buckling” of certain beams in the East river bridge, upon which hundreds of thousands depend for their daily journeys to and from Manhattan Is- land. This bridge has hitherto stood every strain that a steady and increasing use has put upon it. Lately, however, tests were applied that were regarded by some engineers as unwise. The Brooklyn trolley ears were permitted to run clear across to the New York side, in addition to the usual bridge cars and the enormous traffic on foot and in vehicles. These loads have been more than the bridge could well stand. ‘The cars have been run, in the rush hours, with an average headway of twenty feet, a bare moving space, whereas the agreement with the bridge authorities called for a longer distance. The danger has come not so much from the weight of the passengers carried as from the weight of the cars, though the admission of the cars to the bridge has tended to concentrate the weight of the people more severaly upon the bridge trusses and cables, whereas the use of the bridge cars proper served previously in a measure to distribute the loads. What ss to be done now ts of course @ question, whose difficulty is increased by the intl- mate relation of the street car corporations with the city politics. The bridge is a mu- nicipal property and is the source of a large revenue, so that it becomes a considerable political factor itself. Work is being push- ed on another bridge across the East river, higher up, which will greatly relieve the strain on the old structure. It is not to be expected that the. people will stop pa- tronizing the bridge, at the cost of a few minutes of their precious time, even though continued strains on the link between the cities may ultimately contribute to an ap- palling disaster. ———_>+e—____ Everybody will concur in the hope that the fears for the boys in Cuba are only the inevitable and usually groundless appre- hensions of epidemic which midsummer de- velops. —_—_~+ +2 __ General Shafter's failure to make an in- Stantaneous impression as a popular idol may be due to the fact that he was not built by nature for posing. ———_>+e—____ De Lome hopes that the next generation will do better for Spain.

SHOOTING STALKS. All Plans Look Alike. “Our plans of action weren’t very suc- cesstifl,” said one Spanish diplomat. “No,” answered the other. “And I’m afraid our plans of inaction are going to prcve even worse.”” “De trouble ‘bout advice,” said Uncle Eben, “is dat de man who has made a sho-nuff success in life is gin’, rally too busy ter stop an’ give lessons.’ His Aspiration. Meandering. Mike had gotien hold of a pair of scissors and was bending over a brcok, which answered the purpose of a mirror. “What're ye doin’?” exclaimed Plodding Pete; “trimmin’ yer whiskers pointed “I'm lookin’ fur more luxury,” was the reply. “As soon as I git t'roo I'm goin’ to Camp Alger. Mebbe dey'll arrest me fur a Spaniard an’ send me to board at An- napolis.”” A Fleeting Happiness. The man who thinks he knows it all— ’'Tis wrong to check his glee. He in his turn The truth will learn; And then how sad he'll be! Formalities. “What has become of that pugilist who taised so loudly about wanting to fight Spain.” “Oh, he’s quiet now,” replied the sporting man. “But wasn’t that a rather audacious piece of business? “No. He was safe enough. He knew Spain couldn't get the money to post a for- feit even if it accepted the challenge.” The Demand. Another era’s dawning. Things charmed the world before Aré losing their attractions, hour by hour. The idol of the masses finds his glory al- most O'er. Like the fainting fragrance of a wither- ing flower. No more the politician moves the multi- tude to cheers; No more for orators the music plays; No more mén wait with laurels for success- ful financiers. You've got to be a hero, nowadays. that Dame Clio takes her pen in hand and turns another page The records of a marvelous year to trace, And thousands crowd and struggle her at- tention to engage, But the old-time winners aren’t in the race.

You've got to be a hero, nowadays. ———_-. ____ “Trade Follows the Flag.” From Bradstreet’s. Perhaps the most convincing proof of the truth of the saying that “trade follows the flag” is found in the quick recognition given by American business men to the possl- bilities lying practically dormant in the territories recently opened to American en- terprise by American sailors and soldier However disinterested cur motives for in- terference in Spain's dependencies may have been, there is no escaping from the fact that with the triumph of American arms has come a healthy inclination on th part of American business interests to ex- plore and exploit the resources of the sec- tiens of country now under American rule. The activity of the preparations making to give the inhabitants of southeastern Cuba an opportunity to deal directly with American producers has been already noted in Bradstreet’s. Where, as in the cases of the American iroe ore mining companies at and near Santiago, war had merely sus- pended operations, the announcement is made of quick resumption. It is, however, more in the direction of new business that special activity. and preparation are more particularly evident. A wide and profitable market for food and provisions of various scrts is reported at many points of cccup: tion, and the shiploads of supplies now fi ting out or on the way to those points bear witness to the quickness of American shippers and others io recognize a trade oprertunity. —_—_+ ++ ___ Beneficial Destruction of Systems. From the New York ‘Tribune. The fact Is that the whole history of the erican pecple has heen the breaking n of American systems, social, indus- trial, pelitical. We broke down an Ameri- can system when we established a nation in place of some petty states; when we told Europe that the old plan of colonial expansion on this continent was at an end; when we annexed Louisiana, Florida, Texas, California, Alaska, Hawaii; when we established the secret ballot; when we overthrew the spoils system. The plea that an abuse must be protected because tt is American {s as old as the nation, and every advance has from the beginning been denounced as unAmerican, and still will be, whether it is planned to secure seats for everybody in street cars or to do our duty cs one of the powers of the world. But in spite of all dire forebodings the American people have uniformly shown that the American system was the one which seemed best adapted to meet the re- quirements of a particular situation, not what some old fogy told them was the method they had followed in other times. ——__+ += _____ ‘The Live Evening Paper's Advantage.
