The country had simply neglected, in its years of the peace- ful pursuit of commercial interests and in the treatment of political problems, to con- Sider sufficiently the importance of main- taining at the highest point of efficiency this vitally needful organization. © war has developed in its reve- fon of strength and weakness is doubt- ‘Ss to be utilized for guidance. Steps will unquestionably be taken to remedy defects. The National Guard should receive early Congress should provide more adequately for its maintenance, enlarge !ts ranks and carefully adjust its linc of growth to that of the inevitably expanding standing army. The same weapon should be given to the volunteer in time of peace as in war. There should be mor? field training, more drill in the duties of the fighting men under the duress of hard con- ditions. S Washington showed in this campaign what would be guarante2d by a Naffonal Guard maintained as far as possible at a standard of true military efficiency. Its regiment earned the praise of the highest officers. It became known, in camp and in the field, as one of the finest body of men in the army. Local pride suggests that this was perhaps due to the superiority of the average of citizensnip at the national capital. Common sense suggests that it was due to the unremitting effort of the leaders of the local militia to maintain the highest peace-time standard possible un- der the restricting conditions of corgres- sional economy. The object lesson, certain to be appreciated by military authorities, will not be likely to fail of its best pur- pose. The war has awakened the military spirit among the people. The valor of che troops, the victories of the armies, the plaudits of the entire nation have united to make now possible, more surely than ever before ‘in the country’s history, a perfzet organiza- tion of the militia forces. Taking advan- tage of this awakening, as evidenced by yesterday's reception in this city to the home-coming troops, the government may strengthen itself far beyond the chance of failure in any emergency which may ever arise in the future. The Havana Volunteers. volunteers in Havana—the men of Spanish birch and of intense Spanish sym- athies, Who have been under arms in de- fense of the city—are greatly disturbed as to the future. They have been holding meetings and discussing the question of their duty to themselves now that the for- tunes of wav have gone against them. They still declare unalterable loyalty to Spin, and some are considering the advisability of returning to the peninsula and making it their home. This statement comes from Havana: “Free passage to Spain is also asked of the government for a.l those who may de- sire to return to Spain rather than to re- main in Cuba should it become independent or be annexed to the United States, and those who desire to continue their residence in Cuba have been requested to make them- selves known within the next thirty days. A large number of volunteers have declared they would never remain on the island un- der any other government than that of nd would give up their residence in nd return to the mother country, and believe that in recognition of their services in defending the city and their loy- Ity the government shouid convey all to 1in who may desire to go.” attention. The It is to be hoped the Spanish government may respond favorably to this, or that, if it does not, the United States may provide the desired transportation. The men de- scribed are such as could not leave Cuba too q for their own or Cuba's good Their presence in numbers in the island would be a greater obstacle to pacilication nd a greater source of anxiety after paci- fication has been a lished than that of thousands of inish troops or that ef the most impla © of the insurgents.

The man who future will be the will or thrive in Cuba in who strives to un- derstand the new conditions and ts them in gvod faith. There will be no time for lamentations about the past. The new order means push and progress, and “‘ma- nana” will be banished from the local vocabulary. For those therefore who still venerice Spanish forms and customs, who still in their hearts despise America and all that it represents, who with opportunity might become conspirators against the gov- ernment, Cuba will present anything but an inviting place for residence. They would do to betake themselves back to Spain. therefore, let all of this class who may desire to leave be tance to that end.

The empress was a woman of fine mind and kindly disposition. She was the sort of woman who, had she been born to an humbler sphere life, wo: ed outcome of outbreaks of Id ib e enje the companionship of a wide circle of real friends. During the troublous years of the emperor's earlier career, years that were mainly spent in smoothing over the differ- ences existing between Austria and Hun- gary, the empress did her full share in the work of conciliation, and did it so well that she became a woman of great popularity. For many years she was principally fa- mous as being the most skilful and daring horsewoman in all Europe. More recently, pecially since the sad death of Prince k olf, she had largely abandoned her favorite sport and had lived a compara- tively retired life. The death of the prince in 1889, under most romantic i mysteri- ous circumstanc set all Europe by ears. It was a sad blow to the empr and, while many stories have been told bout it, there is good reason to believe that the mystery will never be fully cleared up. She felt the blow » would have felt it if she had been a woman not born to the purple. Her sad taking off is but the climax to a career which, all in all, has been anything but a happy one. It ts hard to see how the contemptible act of this assassin has advanced one whit the coming ® millenium, when the brotherhood of man 1s to prevail. a It is scarcely fatr to criticise.Zola for not going to jail n defense of his convictions.

One of the most pleasing features of yes- terday’s parade in honor of the District reg- iment was the presence of cepresentative veteran and labor organizations in line. Nothing could have besn more appropriate than that those who fought in the civil war, who have experienced the hardships of campaigning, who realize the sufferings en- tailed by such sacrifices in the name of pa- triotism, should participate formally in the welcoming of a body of their successors in the fleld. To be sure, the men who have just returned have not been exposed for so long a time to the dangers of war as were those who, in the main, escorted them in the | name of the American veterans. The Dis- | trict regiment, however, was organized for | any purpose for which it might be assigned. It was ready for any duty. It accepted its detail cheerfully, courageously, and when it marched into the trenches before Santi- ago, with the confident anticipation that the morrow would bring a battle and with the certain knowledge that it was in the line of the most probable assault by the enemy, it carried a spirit of determination to fight to the last, if need be, worthy of a body of seasoned soldiers. The lack of expérience under fire did not prevent this prompt, even eager, acceptance of a post of danger. The fact that the anticipated battle did not occur does not detract from the character of the regiment as one of the best equipped, disciplined and condition- ed organizations on the field. These men re- turn veterans in the sense that they have suffered in the uniform of their country. The cheers of those who escorted them, who fought in the civil war and appreciate the dangers of camp and field, are tokens of the bond which now unites the generations, a bond of tried, true patriotism, shown by the supreme test to be all-enduring. The laboring men who, as representatives of their organizations, were also in the line bore witness by their presence and sym- pathy to the patriotic interest which the workingmen of America have taken in this campaign for the freeing of Cuba. The re- turning regiment contains many men from the trades and occupations which contribute to the ranks of organized labor. as The Star noted last Monday, in praise of the wartime attitude of the American working- men, from no quarter came more ready and earnest responses to the call for troops than from the shops, the mills, the work rooms, the various fields of manual labor. The trowel, the pick and the saw were cast aside for the rifle. The laboring man prov- ed that he aS a patriot along with the farmer, the cle! the business man, the milliona It was therefore fitting that In its formal reception this thoroughly typical organization of citizen soldiers should, upon its return to resume a place in the daily affairs of life, be greeted by the shouts and the presence of those bodies of men who, in their aggregate association, represent American labor. It is a token of the strength of the nation, drawing in its emer- gencies upon all elements of its population, and winning victories thereby both in war and peace. AS soon as more important matters a attended to, Uncle Sam will doubtless s to it that any taxation which tends to dis courage activity in business is lightened. 202 - Some of the eminent Snglish-speaking actresses have announced new pla Oth- ers have made no preparations further than the customary divorce. ———__ wee = In connection with the war the Spaniards continue to object strenuously to Mr. M old doctrine that the fe > + -__ In bidding Cervera farewell it would be no hypocrisy for Admiral Sampson to ex press regret at not having met him so: ——— If Mr. J.

Cheap. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. It is figured out that the war with Spain cost this country, approximately, $114,500,- 000, which is a very small price to pay for the commanding position it gave the United States among the nations of the world—to say nothing of the probability that it has saved us from a much more costly war in the near future with one of the much stronger powers that were threatening us.
