Dr. Swallow's reckless at taet upon General Gobin and the assertion that the General propos ed to nse his military power to make Republican votes among the men under his command is license run wild. Dr. Swallow seems to believe that a speaker on the stump can make the most preposterous and foolish charges without dam aging his own reputation. That is a. great missake. What I)r. Swal low said about General Gobin does riot hurt General Gobin at all. Everybody knows that General Gobin is a straightforward, honest gentleman and soldier, who would be the last man to .attempt to un duly influence the vote of the men in his regiments. But what Dr. Swallow said does hurt Dr. Swal low. It causes intelligent people who read his remarks to think lightly of him, to conclude that he is not to be taken seriously and to dismiss both him and his political utterances into the waste of unre garded thing.—Phila. Inquirer. Let us Have Peace. There is no longer a reasonable doubt that peace will be declared iu a few days on our own terms. Greatly to the surprise of the President he found 011 Saturday afternoon that M. Cambon, the French Ambassador, was not merely an intermediary between the two governments, but that he was a plenipotentiary on behalf of Spain, with full power to arrange all the details for ending the war. He objected to only one minor point in our reply to Spain's re quest for terms and this was modi fied, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. This apparently had reference to the future of the Philippines, but .just what it was has not been an nounced and will not until receipt «. 112 the reply of the Spanish Cabinet which is looked for tomorrow. It is expected that it will accept all the terms offered by us. It is hard to believe anything else, since M. Cambon was not only a plenipo tentiary. but received minute in st ructions covering every detail, so that Spain would be guilty of per fidy in refusing to ratify what Cambon has with authority ac cepted. This is one of the most -striking events in the history of diplomacy and is honorable alike to both countries. President .Mc- Kinley has steadfastly refused to Allow any other nation to interfere oven in a friendly way, and Spain took the manly course of opening negotiations directly by the natural channel, and went further by giv ing Cambon full power to settle the difficulties. Thus a tedious exchange of diplomatic notes was averted. It is.the most straight forward act of Spain for many years and makes a distinctly good impression. The terms are apparently en tirely satisfactory and there is 110 doubt of their prompt ratification iiy the Senate. We get Porto Rico and practically get Cuba, since we sure sponsor for her future and the logic of events as well as the strict fulfillment of our promises will lead her into the American fold. We get a coaling station in the La- drones and apparently all we want in the Philippines, though on this point we are without definite in formation. A cessation of hostili ties is likely this week and the boys will come marching home, most of them without having seen an enemy. It is evident however, that we shall maintain a small army in Cuba and Porto Rico, and some of the volunteers will be held tem porarily for that duty. It may also be necessary to send more troops to the Philippines in case Aguinaldo gets obstreperous, though it is likely we have troops enough there to garrison that por tion of the Island of Luzon that falls to our lot by the treaty. It was just exactly one hundred days from the breaking out of the war until Cambon accepted our terms, and we have not met a ' single reverse in that time. We have destroyed the two Spanish fleets, captured an entire army after three well-fought battles and control most of Eastern Cuba. Less I than three hundred men have | fallen in battle and the total deaths will not foot up five hundred, j though fever may yet increase that number. Until Spain gives her answer, however, the war will be prosecuted with vigor, but we fully expect that before another battle peace will have been declared. This war, started in the interests of humanity, will have a beneficial effect upon civilization in general, and will raise the nation in its own eyes, and will make it more re spected abroad. The sacrifice has been relatively small to accomplish so much, though actually it has been great, for some of our best blood has been spilt in the brief war. We emerge from the war self-respecting and respected by the world. We shall enter apon a new era of prosperity, for in Cuba and Porto Rico there will be found immense fields for American capital and enterprise. There is no feel ing of animosity against Spain any longer. She accepted the gage of battle, has been defeated and has in humility asked for peace. She will get it at a terrible price, but that is her own fault. Thus is the Maine avenged! WASHINGTON *LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 1898. President McKinley's reply to the Spanish "feeler" as to the terms upon which we would nego tiate peace, which is now in the hands of the Spanish Ministry, is not only liberal, it is, under the circumstances magnanimous. It provides for the evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico, the former to have an independent govern ment, under the protection of the I'. S., and that the latter shall be come our property, Spanish troops upon both to be sent home at the expense of Spain, and leave the question of what shall be done with the Philippine Islands, to be settled afterwards. If Spain is wise, she will lose no time in ac cepting these terms, as it is very certain that if the war is continued the terms will grow harder and harder, but for Spain to display wisdom will be a new thing under the sun. The French Ambassa dor, who is now also the Spanish Minister, accepted the terms, but, of course, his acceptance goes for nothing until confirmed by Spain. Our preparations for pushing the campaigns in Porto Rico and the Philippines have not been stopped, and if Spain refuses the terms or attempts to gain time by quibbling, the plans for sending Commodore Watson's fleet to Spain,which were deferred in order to give Spain a chance to ask for peace, will at once be carried out. It is doubt ful whether any other country than the l". S., would have been so generous to a defeated foe as not to insist upon the payment of a large money indemnity; it is also doubtful whether the Spanish char acter is capable of appreciating that generosity. The result of the first week of the campaign of (Jen. Miles in Porto Rico, have been more than pleasing to President McKinley and every member of his Cabinet, notwithstanding the attempt 011 the part of some of the yellow journals, to create the impression that the relations of Secretary Alger and (Jen. Miles had become unfriendly because the latter had not conducted the campaign in ac cordance with Alger's orders The same sort of stories were circulated about Secretary Alger and (Jen. Shafter, while the Santiago cam paign was under way, but (Jen. Shafter has since stated that he was allowed to conduct his cam paign 011 his own judgment, and was never at any time hampered in the slightest degree by orders from the war department. It is well known in Washington that (. Roosevelt, for having written a letter to the Secretary of the Sons of the American Revolution.charg ing shameful incapacity or infa mous dishonesty in the commis sary department. The tenor of (ien. Kagan's remarks, which make a column of nonpareil may be judged from the following quo tation: "Notoriety is what Mr. Roosevelt wants, and lie is bound to have it. He deserves it —he stayed at home. He did right to stay at home. Notoriety is what lie is after; we see it in every line of his writing. He carefully avoids giving a name or a date. Of course we know why. He could not do it and tell the truth. But he could manufacture a letter in such shape and form as to bring misery and distress to every father and mother, wife and sister of the men at the front, who did not know that the disingenious repre sentation of a lawyer for the pur pose of notoriety were what they were reading, not a statement of facts, not a true 01* fair representa tion of the action of officers nor the truth regarding the situation in the field, but a low, libellous, scandalous villification of honor able men." Sickness continues to increase in Gen. Shafter's army at a rate that would be alarming were it not for the small number of deaths. As it is, there is much uneasiness, and plans for bringing the men back to the I'. S., at the earliest possible moment are being perfected. Dispatches from Admiral Dewey and Gen. Merritt, who has arrived and taken command of the army have increased the apprehension that, shall we have to whip both the Spaniards and the Insurgents be fore the Manila campaign is over. It is expected that Gen. Merritt and Admiral Dewey will make a combined land and water attack on Manila in a few days, if the Spanish do not meet their demands for surrender, and if Spain does not accept our terms of peace. Then it will be seen whether they will have to fight the insurgents. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy always affords prompt relief. For sale by L. Taggart. Aug Wanted.
