"I have been a Republican since iB6O but our party now stinks in the nostrils of any decent man. If the people are willing to uphold this corruption and dishonesty, God save the country ! —Ex-Postmaster General John Wanamaker.'' The people of this country have had plenty to be thankful for re cently. The great naval victories, the surrender of Santiago and also the adjournment of Congress. There is trouble brewing between the American and Cuban forces at Santiago, growing out of the seclu sion of the latter from the city of Santiago by General Shafter's orders. The Cubans from all re ports are an impetuous class of peo ple and are not satisfied with the progress now being made, although everything is moving along as rapid ly as can be expected. It is very evident that the United States will have to maintain a military govern ment at Santiago. An Added Pride. It is easy to forget the essential things in contemplation of details. The question ol questions is, how did our men fight ? Reverses can be overcome, losses recouped, inadequate forces strengthened, commanders re placed, Secretaries of War removed. But the supreme test of our race and nation is in the heart of the rank and file. What of the vital force of the American people ? And the answer is glorious. Brave as the Spaniards were, our troops showed greater bravery. Fighting with smoky pow der in the open against smokeless powder behind entrenchments, their course was steadily onward. Up the slopes of San Turn ridge and then . down them toward the city, they crept and struggled and charged. Here is valor of a piece with Balak . lava and Shiloh. We are poorer by the loss of many brave lives, but richer, immeasurably richer, in he roic traditions. The spirit of Lex ington and Look-out Mountain re mains in the American army, and that of New Orleans and Cherbourg in the navy. This is the main thing. This is the supreme test of national ,' 1 "character. An added pride, a bright er lustre, is given the very name . "American" by every dead and wounded soldier boy on the far-off hills of Cuba.— Portland Oregonian. ■ Dons and Americans on Amicable Terms- A special from Santiago de Cuba, dated July 19th, says : Hundreds of American and Span f ish soldiers who but a few days ago were shooting at each other crowd the streets of Santiago to day, meeting and mixing on the most friendly terms. A general ■ feeling of good fellowship is evinced ; everywhere. c The narrow, cobbled streets, , grilling in fierce sunshine, are crowded from morning till night by chattering groups of uniformed Spanish soldiers and crowds of laughing, rollicking men belonging to General Shafter's army. Great barge loads of provisions and supplies have been going to the )'• wharves all day from the Red Cross steamer "State of Texas" and the United States army supply ships. Along the water front, under every awning, dozens of women and children may be seen munch- F ing American hardtack and food is being distributed very rapidly about the plaza facing the palace, and in i the numerous airy cafes the officers erf the opposing armies lounged ; throughout the day. Things we Like to See, One thing especially—justice in war. When a man fights a battle and wins it he should have credit for it. The credit should not be given to another. Sampson showed a meagre, if not a mean spirit when he sent to Congress that the ships under mv command have destroyed the Cervera fleet"—or substantially the same. Who commanded those war ships ihat dealt death and destruction to the fleet of Cervera, not Sampson, but the immortal Schley. Sampson might as well have been in the moon as to be a dozen miles away at the time, and knew nothing of the battle till it had been fought and won by Schley. We can injure ourselves and Sampson has been a much smaller man in the eyes of the people ever since. He might have known he could not reap the honors of that conflict—one of the brightest in ancient or modern history. Samson may have some good qualities, but he must now redeem himself in sohne'way from the act of meanness in ignoring Schley who will with Dewey, Farragut, Perry and others go down in history with an effulgent name. But the inconsistency of Congress of vindicating Schley and ignoring Hobson, who can account for that ? A braver act than his was never per petrated since the days of Leonidas, and yet Congress adjourned without paying any attention to him. It is said "Republics are ungrateful," This looks like it. But history will take care of Hobson without Congress and his hazardous exploit will be read a thousand years hence like the battle of Salamis, when the grass of a thou sand summers has grown and wilted over our graves. K J. B. Dewey's Agreement with Philippine Bebels. From S. C. Valdes, the represen tative of the Philippine insurgents under Aguinaldo, has been obtained the agreement entered into by the insurgents with Admiral Dewey. It is as follows : 1. The independence of the Phil ippines shall be proclaimed. 2. A republic shall be establish ed with a government designated by General Aquinaldo and approved by Admiral Dewey or General Mer ritt, as the case may be. 3. The government will recog l nize the temporary intervention of the American and European com missioners designated for the pres ent by Admiral Dewey. 4. The American protectorate shall be recognized on the same conditions as arranged for Cuba. 5. Philipine ports shall be open ed free for the commerce of the world. 6. Precautionary measures shall be adopted against Chinese immi gration, so as to regulate the com petition with the work of the natives. 7. The corrupt judicial system at present existing shall be reformed, intrusting at the commencement the administration of justice to compe tent European legal officials. 8. The complete liberty of asso ciation and of the press shall be de clared. 9. There shall be a general re ligious toleration, but measures shall be adopted for the abolition and expulsion of the religious com munities who, with an iron hand, have hitherto demoralized the actual civil administration. 10. Measures conducive to the working development and prospects of the natural resources of the coun try shall be adopted. 11. The development of the pub lic wealth shall be facilitated togeth er with the opening of roads and railways. 12. The existing obstacles to the forming of commercial enterprises and investment of foreign capital shall be suppressed. 13. The new government will keep public order, and will be obliged to prevent every act of re prisal against the Spaniards. 14. The Spanish official element shall be removed to some other safe and healthy island until opportunity is presented for them to return to Spain. Number Enlisted Under Second Gall. Fairly good progress has been made with recruitment for the vol unteer array under the president's second call for 75,000 troops. The plan adopted by the war department was to recruit all the volunteer or ganizations in the army up to their maximum enlisted strength before entering upon the recruitment of additional troops. The total number of men requir ed to fill out existing regiments was 37,566 and according to the latest returns the total enlistments under the plan are 27,519 men. Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Rhode Island, West Vir ginia and Wisconsin have exceeded their quota, but all the others are behind in the supply of troops. Pennsylvania is behind only eighty men. The number required from this state was 4163 and 4,083 have already enlisted. New York THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA. was called upon for 3,704 and up to date 2,733 have enlisted. The worst delinquent is North Carolina, which has furnished only fifty-five soldiers to meet its quota of 783. Other delinquents are Colorado, Louisiana, Nebraska, Tennessee and Virginia, each of which has supplied less than half of its num ber. Alabama, Massachusetts, Arkan sas, Georgia, Mississippi, Oregon and Texas have done very little better and are all very much behind in meeting the requirements. Com plaint has also been made that in several of the states an effort has been made to foist poor material 011 the government. The total enlisted strength of the regular army to date is about 44,000 men, being about 18,000 short of its legal complement. The volunteer army consists of 183,000 men and I is only 17,000 short of its maxi mum authorized strength under the two calls issued by the president. The total strength of the army, regular and volunteer, is 227,000 as now organized. Don's Weekly Eeview of Tsade- R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "The destruction of a Spanish fleet, Europe's quick appreciation of the feat, the wearying flags of truce at Santiago, and at last the surrender, have all influenced some markets day by day. But Americans have grown, and see that not many outside matters greatly influence the business which enables them to market $1,210,274,- 015 woith of domestic products abroad in a year, against $616,052,- 844 worth imported. The new loan has proved a stupendous success, over $1,300,000,000 having been subscrib ed, and it is now the question of chief interest whether any banks will get enough, after personal subscriptions have been accepted, to support fur ther circulation. Industries and busi ness are at the naturally lowest point for the year, and therefore the records are the more impressive." The Republican journals give McKinley all the credit for the ad vance in the price of wheat when young Leiter forced it up some time ago. But they don't attempt to explain why it has dropped down again. Those patriots who so enthusias tically welcomed the victory of the Hawaiian annexationists in Con gress will be sorry when the next move is made by the same influence —to admit the leprous island into the Union as a full-fledged State.— Ex.
