But no system of calculation will succeed in giving due to their commercial value sure to develop as a result of the ¢ of ownership or to ihe commercial resulting from the expulsion of the nish from Cuba.

It ts to be assumed that the democratic ers who refrained from criticism while he war was in progress have been copious- y taking notes, just the same. ——__e— The Profit and Loss of War. The war has cost heavily, of cuurse. How many millions have been spent can- ot now be accurately learned, and it may be many ‘nonths before the statistics are obtainable. Indeed, im some respects the campaign has opened a running account that cannot be closed. Assuming, how- 3ver, in round numbers, that the contest haS involved an expense to this govern- ment of $200,000,000, it is altogether un- skely that any considerable part of the people will now pause to ask themselves and the authorities ‘Has it been worth @ cost?” It has assureciy been worth the cost. The one concrete, assured result already in posdession is Porto Rico. Some statis- ticlans will no doubt be at hand soon to salculate the price per square yard which this island will cost the United States on the basis of the war expense. But tEis tes: is Incomplete aud unreasonable. There point would have remained a mere a ic argument, however strongly reinforced y expert opinion and suggested by com- Had not the Oregon heen re- the naval necds to round Cape at an extrivagant waste ef time, the urgency of the completion of the canal under American auspices might still have been in some doubt in a sufficient number of minds to block the passage of the neces- sary legislation. Best of all, however, has been the effect of the war upon the people. The oblitera- tion of sectional lines, the cementing to- gether of patriots of all states into a ho- m neous bo of Ameri the ening to the fact that t t leng outgrown tts milita and nav equipment, public view spirit—these are fa cannot be re yet th aith of th. e and it he free! this the general broadening of the the quickening of the national s in the probiem. ented in dollars and unquestionably add to the nation by adding to its pres- strength. of Cuba, the eviction of Spain nere, the consequent bet- re terment of stern world, are all to be counted against the money cost. Th reinforcement of the American influence abroad is to be reckoned into the equation. When all these factors, material and sen- timental and political, have been bled, the money cost of the trifte, a mere shrinks into insignificanc which, adjusted equitably a ple, is barely felt as an additional burden. Considered as a financial bargain, indeed this war with Spain has been one of the most profitable investments a nation ever made. —- American Diplomac The American triumph seems com: The valor of the army navy is highty praised. The marksmanship at sea is the marvel of the world. The kindly treatment of the Spanish prisoners excites both ad- miration and gratitude. ‘Ihe terms of the peace protocol are generous in an unexam- pled degree.

General Fitzhugh Lee, who is now in Washington, will, it is understood, be a member of the commission appointed to ar- range the terms for the withdrawal! of the Spanish forces from Cubd. It is work for which he is particularly wel! qualified. His knowledge of military matters is thorough, his judgment is geod and his acquaintance with conditions in Cuba and the require- ments of the difficult situation there is such 4s no other public man of his grad: in this country possesses. The appointment, if made, will be very generally applauded, But, important as this work is, the work that is to follow will be still more impor- tant. With Spain as a disturbing quantity cut cf the way, crder must be restored and government organized on an entirely new basis, and the people of the island taught to respect and obey the new arrangement. To the task of executing work like that a man should bring not only familiarity with the old and superseded conditions, but firm- ness of purpose, experience in civil affairs and an established character for fair deal- ing. What better selection, therefore, could the President make for that work also than General Lee? Why not when the one task is finished continue him at Havana in such capacity as will insure the proper execution of the othar? General Lee represents with respect to THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1898-10 PAGES. Cuba the attitude of this government as de- clared by Congress. In fact, the influence of his offictal acts and reports while consul general at Havana had no little to do with bringing abcut American intervention in be- half of th> Cuban people. He confirmed the stories of Spanish oppression, he Justified the revolt of the people, he gave his sym- pathies to the reconcentrados and described their awful plight in terms which touch2d the heart of this country. His services throughout, indeed, were all on the side of laying before his government the truth about a situation which in every respect Was a reproach to civilization. That General Lee ineurred the displeasure of the Spaniards, in Cuba and elsewhere, is, of course, well known. But that is to his credit. Th2 question now is not Spanish in any of its aspec It relates solely to Cuba and America, and General Lee enjoys to the full the respect and confidence of the peopl: of beth countrie: 0] There is no doubt that some of the com- paratively inexperienced men made splendid officers. But on the whole, the proposition that experience is unnecessary cannot be regard2d as fully demonstrated. —__ +2 —___ If Americans are cyer-charged at the Paris exposition, they will remember that France owns 3400,000,000 worth of Spain’s promissory paper. ——__ + e+ —___ Uncle Sam’s fighters are unquestionably pre-eminent.

A Washington dispatch states that Presi- dent Dole of Hawaii is to be chief execu- tive until Congress has received the report of the commission appointed to devise a torm of government for the islands and put it in the form of a statute. This does not mean, however, that Mr. Dole will continue to administer affairs as president of Ha- wail, but that he will act as representative of the President of the United States. The Joint resolution for the annexation of the islands provides that “until Congress shall provide for the government of such islands all the civil, judicial and military powers exercised by the officers of the existing government shall be vested in such person or persons and shall be exercised in such manner as’the President of the United States shall direct.” President McKinley has undoubtedly requested Mr. Dole to continue to exercise the civil powers which have been vested in him as president of Hawail until Congress has created a new form of government for the islands. That is the wisest course to pursue. All the local laws of Hawaii remain in force until repealed or modified by Congress. No per- son sent to Hawali from the United States could administer those laws as successfully as Mr. Dole. Therefore his services should be retained and those of other officers of the old government. It will be some time before there will be any offices in Hawall for American politicians to fight over. ——_+-2___ A Graceful Act. From the Troy Times. The appointment of Judge J. M. Hobson, father of Lieut. Hobson, as postmaster at Greensboro, Ala., is calculated te please the whole southland as not even the pro- motion of the young naval constructor himself will do. The fact that Judge Hob- son {s a democrat had no weight with the President, but it will have weight with the people, calling their attention forcibly to the fact that this administration is Ameri- can, not partisan. ——_> + =>—____ An Efficient Intermediary. From the Omaha Bee. It was fortunate for both the United States and for Spain that the French min- ister at Washington, in whose hands the preliminary negotiations for peace were left, is a man of long experience in the diplomatic sérvice, a man of high character and good judgment and one who commands the confidence of all. Everything done in Washington in connection with the peace proposals has been above criticism. —> +> —____ A Timely Paraphrase. From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. France never told her love, but let con- cealment, like a worm in the bud, feed upon the damask of her cheek until she saw that Uncle Sam’s presence at the com- ing exposition was a necessity, if she was to make any money out of the show. Then she declared herself. ———!++2____ Small Camps for the Soldiers. From the Wilmington (Del.) News, It strikes us that it would be a wise and a humane plan for the government to es- tablish a number of small camps for the sick and exhausted soldiers.

A dozen healthy camps would be far better than one un- healthy one. ——__——~»-¢-@ —__ The Kansas Conversion. ‘From the Kansas City Journal.
