Peace. The President, in all of this business with Spain. has dealt so frankly with the coun- try that the terms of the peace protocol already stand approved by public senti- ment. The official announcement contains no surprise. The details are precisely ‘as had been forecast. There is merely official verification of the fact that the Spanish fiag is io disappear from this hemisphere, nd that future government in the Pbllip- pines !s to be the subject of negotiations. Congratulations are already pouring in on President, and he deserves them. His t of the war no less than of the efforts to end it may justly be viewed only with admiration. The character of a man who in high place felt fully his re bility to nis country and to humanity Js clearly revealed. When war was anded he entered upon it; while it was pr s he pushed it unceasingly: when Spain asked for peace he met her promptly ard frankly. The result is a cessation of hostil at the end of three months, with the United States completely victorious and in osition to say the controlling w as to the future. This is altogether a glorious chapter in the histery of the repu Some very difficult and important bust- ness remains to be transacted, and this too rust be cut out and directed by the Pres- ident.

With the dawn of peace the nation should voice to its gratitude for the blessings at have been heaped upon it during the riod of hostilities. The war has broughr the United States many reasons for glad- ness in the midst of the causes for personal sorrow and national chagrin over minor mistakes. The broad results overshadow the blunders and the losses. The victory has been won. The fight has developed latent qualities of strength and has reveal- ed to the world the prowess of a peace-lov- e first place, the navy. Without de- tracting from the other agencies in the campaign the naval force deserves enthusi- astic praise. At Manila, at Santiago, along the snores of Cuba the United States has dominated. Its ships have shown them- selves capable of the finest work possible. Its seamen have behaved like heroes—like true Americans. Its officers have shown themselves valorous and skillful. Its ac- cessories, representative of the American inventive and constructive genius, have wrought out their results with notable com- pleteness. The prestige of the American ¥, raised to a high point in the war of 1812 and then suffered to lapse, has been restored, and, best of all, the conditions favor—indeed, demand—such advancement as t insure that the navy of the.future will so longer be classed far down in the lst of nations. ‘The American soldier has once again War has fur- |- proved himself a man of valor, intelligence and patriotism. In the land fighting the military unit, the man with the rifle, has shown himself one of the most reliable, de- termined, patient and potent factors in campaigning which the world knows. His opportunity for military achievement has been small, but his heroism under the most trying hardships incidental to the hasty mobilization of a volunteer army under se- vere climatic conditions has shown that true valor is not confined to the firing lne. In the conduct of the campaign there has been such intelligent energy as was ex- pected by the nation. Advantage was taken of every chance to bring the enemy to a speedy realization of the American prowess. Not @ reverse mars the whole record. All is victory in the fighting. At Santiago the problem was desperately perplexing. Haste was necessary to avoid the characteristic fevers of the climate, while haste meant the exposure of the forces to suffering from insufficient equipment, armament and pro- visioning. The time to strike was not set according to the judgment of those in con- trol of the campaign, but by the passage of events. Delay meant the loss of a gold- en opportunity and perhaps the indefinite prolongation of the war. The land and naval forces were concen- trated before the city and the naval squad- ren there cornered was forced to seek an escape. Its destruction resulted, Spain’s naval power was finally broken and the col- lapse of her campaign inevitably followed. In that result the army participated ma- terially by rendering the further presence of Cervera and his ships at Santiago a sovrce of military weakness rather than of strength. The fighting on land had been sharp and bloody and the Spanish com- mander foresaw his certain destruction when the cordon around the city was com- pleted by those intrepid men who had not faltered in the face of the most deadly fire. The war has demonstrated many things. It has shown how wise was President Mc- Kinley in his efforts to prevent a precipt- tate declaration of war while the nation was wholly unprepared. His management of the matter in the early stages was characteristically intelligent and states- manlike. Events proved that he was no less master of the situation when he sought to postpone decisive action then than later when he assented to Spain’s proposition of peace. 2 The war has also shown that the world must readjust its judgment of the Amert- can influence beyond the national boundar- ies. It has strengthened the prestige of the United States as has no other event or series of events in its history. The great republic is henceforth to be reckoned as one of the material factors in universal trade and progression. Best of all, however, has been the domes- tic uplift, the freshening of the people's na- tional spirit, the revelation to the citizen of the nation’s duty and Its power to perform What is set for It to do. The people have been taken from their narrow ruts of local- ism and selfishness and placed upon a broad, high plane of patriotism, and filled with a thoughtful, but ardent, confidence in their government and institutions, and in the future of the great republic. ——— + —____ A Good Record for the First D. ©. V. The District volunteers are coming home- ward from the war. Their main fighting has been against the hardships of the San- Uago climate, but their record through the pertod of enlistment nas shown them to be true soldiers, a credit to their home and a source of strength to the volunteer army. When they went to camp at Chickamauga the District soldiers were marked for their soldierly appearance and their complete equipment. Their conduct there showed that they were duly appreciative of their duties and determined to make a good rec- ord. Their stay at Tampa was long and tedious and there was hope that they would get to Santiago in season to form part of the first agsaulting force. But on account of the demand for regular troops in the first expedition the District regiment was left behind, to be sent later when General Shafter found that his task called for a larger army than was first given to him. The hard fighting tcok place while the regiment was on board the transports. As it turned out, the hostilities on land had just ceased when it was disembarked, but its arrival was especially timely, as it afforded the American commander the foree nece Ty to complete the investment of Santiago and present an unbroken front to Toral. The District volunteers, despite the fact that their weapons were inferlor to those of some other regiments, were placed in a post of the greatest danger, where it was expected that in the event of 2 continued assault upon the city the be- leagured Spaniards, in their effort to es- cape, would strike. The completion of this line of inves ment turned the scale in favor of sur- render. Aside from any degree of local pride naturally suggested by the situation, it ts permissible to claim that the District regiment was thus a material factor in the s of the campaign at Santiago, even though it was not permitted to charge the my and fired in skirmish only for a couple of hours at the end of the siege. ‘The good behavior of the men at the front was in line with thelr demeanor at cther points in their route from Washing- ton and the comparative immunity of the regiment from the deadly diseases prevo- lent in the neighborhood of Santiago speaks well for the general condition of the men and for the care bestowed upon them py the regimental officers. They are now soing to Montauk point and it Is sincerely to be hoped that they will find there the accommodations and comforts which they so richly deserve. It will be satisfactory to those who in Washington have devotedly followed the fortunes of this local representation in the war to know that the District boys will soon be once more on the shores of their own country, and that in a comparatively short time they will doubtless be at home, the recipients of a heartfelt welcome and of congratulations upon their excellent be- havior and high reputation for soldierly qualities. -—__ + «= ——____ Mr. Croker’s assertion that a man must be a wounded hero to make much of an im- pression in this country has not led him to circulate a report that he was kicked by a race horse while in England. ——— The Spanish public ought by this time to see the advisability of giving less attention to bull fights and saving ts enthusiasm for {ts political campaigns. —— The friends of Mr. Sampson and those of Mr. Schley have not gotten so far along as a protocol yet. suet + «= —___. A Mid-Summer Deluge. Yesterday's rainfall was in some respects locally unprecedented. Very nearly five inches of water came from the clouds with- in twelve hours, and curiously enough this precipitation was confined practically to the immediate vicinity ef the District, thus concentrating upon the capital one of the flercest rainstorms of the season. Phila- delphia recently suffered from a similar deluge, the total fall exceeding that cf yesterday and in consequence great damage Was done to the city In many ways. It Is not to be questioned that much loss was eccasioned by the rain here yesterday. The stoppage of the street cars for a consider- able period, including the time of the great- est demand for transportation, necessartly involved loss of time to citizens and doubt- less represented a certain measure of loss as well to the railway companies. The rain was so heavy, however, that it is question- able whether many fares were utterly lost, for the would-be passengers who were balked temporarily in their desire to ride homeward were unable-to foot their way on account of the driving torrents. The ficoding of conduits necessarily interfered somewhat with the operation of the under- sround electric lines, but it is satisfactory pto observe that even with these condults filled with water in some cases the traffic was not interrupted. When, however, ow- ing to the accumulation of the drainage in low places the water reached the motors, the cars were of course blocked. No pres- ent estimate seems possible of the miscel- lereous damage from the deluge, as for instance to partly constructed buildings. The driving, all-pervading rain weakened new foundations ard undermined eyen old ones, and in some cases disintegrated the mortar in green walls. Many cellars were flooded and much loss was thus occasioned to merchants and property owners. For- tunately the storm was so locally centered that it did not add to the flood now making its way down from the hills of the upper water-shed the tremendous volume of water that poured into the sewers and thence into the river below the city. The reports now at hand from the northern reaches of the Potomac indicate that a considerable rise in the levels at Washington is in- evitable; indeed the tides are already ma- terially higher than normal. But with no obstructions such as exist in spring when the ice breaks to choke the channels there is little reason to fear that this extra vol- ume of water will reach the tops of the banks and cause damage. One benefit from the rain is the flushing of the sew2rs, which have undoubtedly been cleansed as they can seldom be in mid-summer. This ircidental result must have a wholesome effect upon the city’s health. ——___+ A base ball pitcher in one of the minor league clubs named Philippi kas suddenly achieved such a reputation because of his name that several managers of the larger organizations are anxious to secure his services.
