Woodford and Gen- 1 Wh attended a meeting held in New York last week in aid of the Soldiers’ and sts’ Families’ Protective Associa- tion. The audience received them with en- num- ts ler thusiasm, and each responded to a demand for a few remarks. General Woodford in ‘se of his turned to General Wheeler and said: a “When that other war was over, my friend, people were prone to style that un- leasantness the ‘bloody chasm.’ It was a mistaken designation. It was only a ditch, so narrow that the rough riders jumped across it, and you and I are one. The stars on your shoulder today, my friend, are the stars of the old flag, and the biue of your uniform is the flag’s blue, and you and I thank God that there is but one country and one flag.”* General Woodford’s designation is not an improvement on the old one. “The bioody chasm” best describes that awful affair. It was deep and terribly bloody. On the one side were those who had contended in battle for four years for what they consid- eged their yeh Fights under the Constitu- ! by the union gives THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1898-12 PAGES. tion, and on the other side were those who had fought for human freedom and the preservation of the Union. Sacrifices were offered up freely on both sides. Never in any country in any age of the world did men ever grapple with higher or more en- during courage than did the men who fought the civil war in the United States. It is this view of the case—the old view— which gives to the present sentiment exist- ing between north and south Its great power and beauty, and attracts so pro- foundly the attention of the world. The people stand almost glorified in an honest and earnest reconciHation after a struggle between themselves so costly in human life, so fierce in the manner of its waging, and so protracted. To characterize the war as an event which did not dig down deep into our affairs, and whose traces were easily obliterated, 1s to rob it of its rightful pro- portions, and rob the participants and their descendants of the great merit of their thorough reunion. The stars on General Wheeler's shoulders are well deserved, and they shine all the more brightly because he fought with tre- mendous energy and effect in the war of the rebellion against the flag which he now loves so well and for which he has lately done so much. He has crossed a bloody chasm and a deep one, as all of his old comrades of the south have, and he stands with them on the side of the restored Union, —__++-» —_____ The New Navy. The battleship Illinois, launched at New- port News today, is the first warship to be sent from the ways since the opening of hostilities with Spain and may be regarded as in some respects the pioneer of the new navy which is destined to develop as a re- sult of the recent struggle. True, the Kearsarge and the Kentucky were launched a short time before war was declared and after the destruction ,of the Maine, so in the pubiie mind their baptism is more or less closely associated with the spirit of 1 progress which the disaster in Ha- Vana bay on the night of February 15 fore- shadowed. The ships authorized by Con- gress in the on-rush of the new patriotism will not be ready for launching for many months and they are technically the be- ginnings of the fleet made possible by these stirring events. But as far as design and equipment are concerned ft is not likely that they will prove materially better boats than that which today receives the name of one of the most progressive states of the Union, a state closely identified with the advancement of the republic to greater proportions and proud of having sent to the Executive chair a man whose masterly ser- Vices in the preservation of the Union and whose sacrifice’ of life in its behalf have caused his fame to become imperishable. ‘he work of the American navy during this war has been of incalculable import- ance in the world’s economy. The ships which are being added to it from time to time will carry forward the standard steadily step b ep until the United nav: States will be recognized in a few seasons as one of the foremost powers on sea as well mm land. There is some sugges- tiveness in the bestowal upon these recent additions te the navy of the names of in- 1 states, which have the remotest in- terest in naval affairs save so far as all Americans are concert in the preserva- tion of the country and its principles. The day of inland opposition to naval expan- sion is past forever. There are no geo- graphical boundaries to the American de- sire for a navy which shali represent in corner of the earth the spirit of progress, humanity and strength animat- ing the actions of this country. — Reconsidering the Attack. The membe's of the Central Labor Union pursued a wise course last night in decid- ing to take a seber second thought in the controversy over Chairman Babcock of the House District committee. The matter has threatened to get into partisan politics in a manner calculated to work injury to the welfare of Washington and ultimately to the interests of the local workingmen them- selves. The postponement of final action that body time to con- sider thoughtfuily all features of the case. A full inquiry into the matter, with regard for the best intere both of the laboring men of the District and the capital itself, is certain to reveal the folly of hostile par- ticipation by Washingtonians in the cam- paigns in faraway congressional districts, and the injusti well as the impolicy of such action in the present case. + = —____ It was doubtless more or less unpleasant in the beginning for candidate Judge Van Wyck to become known to the political world as “Somebody's Brother.” Perhaps that accounted for his initial reluctance to accept the nomination for governor of New York. But it did not end with the first uncertainty as to his identity. The Ran- dolph Enterprise, a staunch democratic organ of the “up-state” region, now prints at the top of its editorial columns the dem- oeratic state ticket, thus headed: “For gov- ernor, Robert A. Van Wyck of New York.” Augustus of Kings is tasting the bitterness of being a Dromio. —_++-_____ Mr. Straus, minister to Turkey, hopes to adjust the differences between this country and the Ottoman empire diplomatically. ‘The experiences of Spain may be a whole- some reminder to the Sultan that this coun- try’s willingness to exchange opinions is no sign that it is not in a hurry. ——_ + +2 —___ The revelations concerning the relations of “promoters” to the English nobility may remove some of the objections which fath- ers of heiresses often express toward aris- tocratic sons-in-law.

This is a reminder that railways have their great men as well as ships. ——_ + += —__ The Spanish politicians are taking almost as much interest in the Monroe doctrine as if they had invented it. —————_~ + = —___ Brother Augustus’ Dilemma. tus Van Wyck has resigned his ado in Brooklyn in order to ,accept the democratic nomination. He will be notified tonight of his selection by the Syra- cvuse convention to head the democratic Ucket and will, of course, accept. He hesitated at first, to be sure, and same of his friends talked about his preference for the judgeship and his desire for a re- nomination to the bench, and it was sug- gested as likely that he would fecline the boner thus thrust upon him. But he will not decline. Mr. Croker is said to receive ever bility and risk. He prefers men who re- spond promptly and willingly to ding, whatever the chances, and medicine. Mr. Croker is now, very powerful, the greater city and appears to be equally potent as well in the state among the de- mocracy. After his victory at Syracuse over the varicus ambitious leaders who would have gleefully downed him Mr. Croker is not the man to show any signs of weakening. Judge Van Wygk heard the summons of the boss and he had to come forward. He had no assurance of a renomination for the judgeship. Had he defied Mr. Croker’s command to go through the motions as a gubernatorial candidate he could not have looked confidently ahead to a renomination at the end of his present term, or to an election if, by the hook or crook of his personal followers, he carried the particular convention covering that of- fice. Mr. Croker’s methods of party dis- cipline do not permit such rewards to fall to the men who fail to come to the scratch. It was, indeed, very much of a groundhog case with Brother Augustus. His position was not a pleasant one for a man of sensi- tiveness. But those who take up politics with the Tammany machine in the big city must lay aside their individual feel- ings. ——_+ +s —____ Richard Croker takes the precaution to put forward a substitute when he engages in politics, thus avoiding any queries as to whether his tax accounts became confused during his long sojourns in London. ———_ = _____ The manner in which recent years have dealt with political bosses is calculated to cause Richard Croker to indulge in some apprehensive reflections. ————_~-2____ Startling facts concerning the character of public men have an odd trick of hang- ing back until just before election. ————_+ ++ ___ SHOOTING STARS.

From Leslie's Weekly. We cannot escape the fact that we are a commercial nation. Our exports for the last year were double our imports, and our for- gn trade reached unparaileled figures. The alance of trade in this country’s favor was rearly three times what it had been in re- cent years and reached the enormous ag- Bregate of $615,000,000. There is an argu- ment, unanswerable in its force, in these facts in favor of the extension of our goy- ernment to some of the new possessions that may be acquired as the result of the present war. If we were losing our for- eign trade and destined apparently to lose it more from year to year, enlightened citi- zens would insist that every method be adopted to secure a wider market. What Shall be sald of the stupidity of those who, when we are leading the world in its com- merce, seek to restrain our development and who protest against the extension of our colonial mits? One outcome of the war with Spain ts as- sured, and that is that at its close the for- eign trade of Cuba and Porto Rico, if not of the Philippines, will be ours more than it will be that of any other nation, Spain not excepted. This golden stream of com- mercial wealth, which England has sought all over the world during the past century, and which Germany appears to be willing to fight for in the Philippines, has, by the strange circumstances of fate, been divert- ed to our channels. Only the short-sighted would seek to stop such a tide of wealth. There is profound significance in the offi- clal statement that nearly one-third of our enormousyexports during the past year were of manufactured products. Heretofore our exports have consisted mainly of agricul- tural products and provisions. The world has received notice that at last we are in open competition with it in the field of manufactures. Wages are higher in this country than in any other, but the men be- hind the machines in our factories, like the men behind the guns on our ships, are men of superior make. Their intelligence and industry enable them to give greater re- sults, man for man, than the men of any other nation have given, and these greater results entitle our workmen to their better pay. If, with higher wages than compet- ing nations can afford to give, we can suc- cessfully seek the trade of the world, the maintenance of the American workingman's ome. with all its comforts, is forever as- sured. But the competition will be close and the struggle bitter. Let us therefore aecept avery advantage that fortuitous circum- stances may give us, planting our flag on new soil and always remembering that trade follows the flag, and that trade makes nations great and the people prosperous. ———__ +++ ____ Will Serve Notice.
