6 THE EVENING STAR. W ASHI ON MONDAY. -August CROSBY S. 3 THE EVENL : and permanent Family PAR has a regular Cireulation much more than the combined cir- | calation of the other Washington dailies. Ax a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR shoald not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpos A Good Showing at Evesything thus far reporte from Camp Wikoff concerning District regiment, which has now arrived ly in its entirety, is reassuring both as regards gen- eral health and the har »s of the sol- diers on their voyage from Santiago. Other transports have brought of terrible suffering. Many of the troops have starved, have lacked proper medical attention, have died in The rge numbers on the way north. District regiment, however, seems to have come through with a imum of hardship. One of our boys died on the Hudson on the way north and one of those who came on her has died since her ar- rival. The Minnewaska put Into port last night with a relatively good showing, only one of our volunteers having died on th! way and the health of the battalion and the regimental staff being as good as could be expected under the circumstances. This is cheering news to the home com- munity. The tales of horror which came previc from iago and from Mon- tauk had aroused the apprehensions of all those with nds or relatives in the regi- ment and it was in view of the stronges probabilities that The Star began its emer- gency work last week to provide a fund for the proper reception of the Washington soldiers on their arrival on American soil. Every indication pointed to th part of our volunteers of the most thought- ful attention and the tendezest care from their first moment at Montauk Point. Noi only have the men arrived in comparativ good condition, though sadly debilitated, but whatever may e been the conditions need or the at Montaux in the past the governmenta care of the District regiment today leaves little to be re All of sympathetic Washington will re- joice that while provision had been made to meet the deplorable conditions whic were apprehended the by actually need so little beyond the hearty welcome and the ev of affectionate regard which the making and tender of this Whatever their ail or great, and whatever the defects in the governmental methods of satisfying them, whether few or many, Washingtoniaas were at hand to greet and assist the returning soldiers. is evident that the fund already co}. d by The Star will be ample to supple- he government's care of the District and that there will be no occasion to y in addition upon the funds intended tor the ption at Washington. In the ing, the bo refitted from San and their dis: northward It were ago. atched starting already will come into immediate use. In the matter of tood, many articles of comfort and susterance have been and will be supplied from the money generousiy do- rated by the pecple for this purpose. Thanks to the promptness with which the suggestion of The Star was adopted by the community, the regiment will lack for nothing during its stay at Camp Wikoff. The cheering, bracing effect of the hearty and tenderly considerate reception of our soldiers at Montauk Point is beyond esti- mation. Our boys have thus been made to feel that they have never been forgotten for a moment by the folks at home, and that their welcome, beginning from the first moments of their arrival, wlil not cease until every man in the organization has been treated with the care and consid- eration due to him from a grateful and generous community, proud of the behavior of its representatives at Santiago. ———— A Bryan Blast by Proxy. Ex-Gov. Stone of Missouri, during a brief sojourn in New York, has been expressing himself on the subject of the political sit- uation of the day and on the prospects for 1900. His deliverances command attent both by re of his ability and his nized posit! democratic thought, arty. pt unlike he may succeed Mr. Jones of Ar- chairman of the democratic national committee and thereby become the director of his party’s next presidential campaign. He is an intimate personal friend of Mr. Bryan, and favors his re- or the presidency. Stone is an expansionist. That is to ors the annexation of Porto Rico intimates that Cuba will be In fact, as to Cuba, he maxes g observation that if the re- eeping with the declaration as nomination f¢ Gov at once ours { the of Congress, should care to make an issue eut of the proposition for independent gov- ernm or Cuba the democracy would side of immediate annexation.

The New York democrats have a care only for “regu- jarity.”" They wouid rather be “regular” than be right. Indeed, their only idea of being right is to be “regular.” The somer- sault they threw in 1896 on the money ques- tion ig a standing testimonial to their agility. ———_+ +e —___ ‘The war excitement is subsiding to an- extent which justifies the county fair in coming forward with its own method of reminding the public of what a great coun- try this is. ——————+ + = —___ The United States and Peace. ‘The proposition of the czar for an inter- national peace conference will accomplish one thing ff no other: It will bring the sub- ject of peace most prominently before the world, and lead to an instructive grouping of the facts as to just how strong the ar- mament of the great powers is. This re- sult is certain, whether a formal confer- ence follows or not. And even a formal conference might not accomplish anything more. The theme is inspiring and the as- piration noble, but to arrest the world at | the height of its activity of force and send it upon the tack of pure reason and per- jon is a task of the most tremendous preportions. Is it feasible? Is the proposi- tion more than a Quaker’s dream? The czar and his advisers will be pre- pared for some distrust of their motives. What will China say, while still smarting under the heavy blows of Russla’s mailed hend? What will Japan say, with lively recollections of the exercise of Russia's power in the matter of the indemnity de- manded of China? Turkey will at least smile. And England? Mr. Chamberlain may be expected to propose sending the English representatives to the conference on one of the most powerful of England's battle armament is, of cours2, out of the Discussion would inevitably take e form of an effort to agree on terms as to increase of armament. To check further heavy expenditures in that direction would produc practical suggestions. But for how long and to what extent could any of the leading powers be committed? The czar is a good man, of progressive tendency, ‘but if he were to die tomorrow by disease or vio- lence what would the future policy of Rus- sia be? Who could say that his successor would follow in his footsteps? Who could give assurance that the peace policy would last after the completion of the trans-Sibe- rian reilroad? Queen Victoria is a great ipfiuence for peace. But sh2 {fs old and growing infirm. If she were to die tomor- row what would be the effect on English policy? Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Balfour and Mr. Curzon are all men of aggressive views, and ar2 to be considered in any forecast of Eenghish affairs. The United States has always been, and will remain, an influence for peace. The ccuntry’s first war was fought for inde- pendence, another was fought to emphasize tnat achievement, another was fought for self preservation, and the one just closed humanity. No other great power has as good a record. There is no menace to the world either in our armament or in our ations. Our po is our own, de- vised without prejudice to others, and hav- ing in view only the advancement of the country’s legitimate interests. But the United States is making no compacts with foreign powers for peace or anything eise. Why should it do so. Its own ends are for for peace, and it will be a factor for keeping the peace within the sphere of its.influence and authority without special arrange- ment of any kind. We need give no bond for future good behavior toward any power in the world. —— The Nation's Vrofitable There should no quarter to regard the time, money and energy expended in the concentration of volunteers who have never gone out of their camps in this country as in the slightest degree or in any sense wasted. Indeed, no better investment could well have been made by the nation than the furnishing of a measure of military experi- ence to the hundred thousand men or more Investment. be disposition in any who were called from ir homes to go into the ranks and who were not required in the active campaigning. Some of them have suffered severely. They have been exposed to hardships, to the lack of nour- ishing food, to the perils of disease, to the debilitating effects of lite under strange and unfavorabie conditions. But they have gained heavily in experience. They have jearned what the soldier's life is like, what are his duties, his respons:uilities, his de- privations. The military spirit has been fostered, and the perhaps hitherto vague sense of duty to country has been given a meaning which could not have been gener- ated but for the direct personal participa- tion in the triais of military experience. On the other hand the country has se- cured material vaiue in return for the money thus expended. First of all, and most important, is the prestige with the world’s powers obtained through the spec- tacle of the speedy mobilization of a large army out of the rawest of materia The immediate military necessities of the cam- paign were relatively slight. The decisive fighting work was virtually all done by less than twenty-five thousand men, whereas there were available when Santiago fell upwards of 300,000 men, both regulars and volunteers, the great majority of them fit for service and all eager for duty. Thus fully five-sixths of the assembled force were virtually idle so far as the immediate results of the field work were concerned. To be sure the armies sent to Porto Rico and Manila were powerful moral factors in forcing Spain to sue for peace, and these must be taken into account in estimating the relatively surplus land force. But how- ever large this percentage of surplus, how- ever many of the volunteers were, as direct military results stand, uselessly enlisted, every dollar spent in the mobilization and every day lost by the men themselves were splendid investments for both the present and the future. ‘The official mistakes made in the proce: of concentrating, equipping, transporting and training these surplus forces, whatever may have been the gross amount of suffer- ing entailed, are in themseives vatuable to the government in that they point to dan- gers and afford lessons such as could never have been learned by other means. These experiences have discounted and corrected many theories and established new bases for the handling of large bodies of men under modern conditions. The men them- selves have taken to their homes a military training which will never be Jost and so the government has virtually organized an army of citizen soldiers, ready for service in the future should occasion demand that the nation go again to war, and certain to be far more speedily useful for the military purposes of the government than they wi when they went first into camp this year. These men are thus in a certain sense veteran reserve force of inestimable value, and their mustering out, in restoring their civilian status, and replacing them in the ranks of the producers and the wage-earners, carries with it no sense of financial or economic loss to the country at large. oo Omaha is not- vindictive, but it refrains from offering Paris any assurances that there will be much gise for more exposi- tions after the trans-Mississippi event is done with. ——___ +++ —___ Considered in a business-like spirit, Cer- vera’s complimentary remarks hardly off- set the price of complimentary tickets for that excarsion party from Cuba to Spain. + 2 Triple Alliances. It has been suggested by recent foreign news dispatches that France, Spain and Russia are about to form a new “triple al- liance,” having for its immediate object the regulation of affairs on the Morrocco coast. It is not difficult, in the light of recent events, to associate France and Spain in some such enterprise, and Russias interests are at present more or less directed toward the same point as those of France. Russia would in @ large degree doubtless be a sort of silent partner, in this kind of alliance. Opinions differ as to the stability of her friendship for France. In some quarters it is believed that it is to be measured by the period and extent of France's usefulness to Russia in the accomplishment of the lat- ter’s far eastern ambitions. But for pres- ent purposes it suffices that Russia and France are joined by a bond of sympathy; that France and Spain are united by finan- cial ties; that both France and Russia are deeply interested in the control of the Med- iterranean, and that Spain is seeking friends. Suppose this alllance were to become a fact, and the old Dreibund, composed of Germany, Austria end Italy, were to re- main Intact, and @ new combination, even | you think,” now suggested as possible by late happen- ings, composed of the United States, Great Britain and Japan, were to spring into ex- istence. The world would present a curi- ously symmetrical assortment of unions. The great powers would then be operating in conjunction with one another and for antagonistic purposes. The greatest ele- ments of strength and endurance would unquestionably lie with the Anglo-Amer- ican-Japanese alliance. The legitimate ter- ritorial interests of the elements of such a combination would conflict least of all. The naval forces of the united nations would suffice to control the seas. An alliance between England and Japan is not at all improbable, the interests of the two nations having been steadily draw- ing closer together during several years. During the war with China the British sympathies were largely with Japan. For some seasons there has been a practical understanding betwen these powers in the disposition of their naval forces. Later events have suggested an alliance between Japan's land force and England's naval force as almost essential for both parties. At the same time the American and En- glish sentiments have been approaching the highest plane of mutuality ever known in the history of the two nations, while certain causes tending to lessen the traditional Jap- anese friendliness for the United States have been swept away. The annexation of Hawaii has removed one large cause for frietion, while Hawaii's payment of a sum of money in indemnity for the exclusion of Japanese laborers has allayed whatever re- sentment may have been felt in Japan toward the American government. The ap- pearance of the United States as a factor in the far east through Admiral Dewey's victory at Manila has served to suggest even more pointedly to England and Japan the desirability of having Uncle Sam as a partner. The American policy is against all for- mal alliances, triple or otherwise, and these things may not come to pass in the form of definite associations, but their possibility is indicated by the trend of events and by the crystallization of European forces into angles more and more pointedly adverse to the interests of all three of the nations involved in the latest scheme of triple al- liance. ——_—__+ e+ —____ The feminine enthusiasm over Schley sur- passes that displayed toward Hobson to a degree which suggests an inclination to make distinctions between a lieutenant and an admiral. ——_—_++2—____ There are people who insist on ignoring Washington's architectural elegance and the efliciency of its government in order to talk about its base ball club. ——___ ++ -2—_____ In the event of an agreement to the czar’s dit Mament plan there are seve! coun- tries that would have to be watched clos for concealed weapons. +o —____ Sagasta’s unconquerable desire to present a bill for something may finally result in getting him tangled up in the United States Court of Claims. — General Joe Wheeler's constituents be- lieve in seeing to it that a man is not wor- ried by hcme affairs when he is away fight- ing. ———— writers seldom find the demand ks so heavy as to prevent their is country to lecture, oe Russia's disarmament plan would leave the rman emperor with an appalling amount of junk on his hands. on General Garcia ought to make haste to take care of sume very fine personal popu- larity prospects. eee SHOOTING STARS. coming to Congratulation, “Did your son get hom? safe from Cuba?" asked the neighbor. “He did better than that,” was answer, “he got home safe from camp.” the “A penny saved,” said Uncle Eben, “is a penny earned.

That our warships came out of the con- flict with Spain practically unscathed, after having destroyed almost the entire navy of our antagonist, is a fact that must arouse the nation to a sudden realization of its be See and resources as a builder of ships. If we can build the best ships in the world there is no reason why we should not develop the greatest merchant marine that floats the seas. If we are about to enter upon a new era of commercial expan- sion as @ result of recent territorial con- quests, which give us new highways to the east and new opportunities in the West Indies, it is time seriously constder the oblem of how to divert our exports and Tnports to American bottoms.
