The Proper Spirit.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is the
lecOKiiizcd dean of the jingo fraternity
In eonsri -s, but for all that we like
hl pluck. This was what he Bald .six
hours after the word had come from
Havana of the .Maine's destruction:
"Whether the calamity was due to
accident or treachery. 1 should like to
see Introduced in coiiRies today a Joint
lesolution providing for the Immediate
construction of two battleships equal
in size and equipment to the Maine,
and costing not a dollar le.s than the
lll-fatcd Maine cost. That resolution 1
would have passed by both branches
of congress today. Such a response at
that to last night's calamity In the
harbor of Havana, whether It was due
to ac Ideal or treachery. Is the one to
make in the chcumstances. One of
these vessels should be constructed on
the Atlantic and the other on the
Vaclflc coast, and there should not be
the lii;httt delay in their building-.
Action of Hint kind by ns wojild Indi
cate t" the wot Id that whenever or
wherever one of our tentacles was cut
off two would at once grow In Its
l lace."
TVlk like this may piove offensive to
some, but only beeauevthfy, ,t) ob
ject to it lack national Wplrll't-if, con
gress had shown this spirit ctfjlicr In
the ntoceedings we shotllfl',.now; hav.e a

Some years ngo a-iommlsslon of ex
Mits. known as the Kndlcott board", i.f

coal fortltlcatlon and seaboard d"feiii"-'
which bus served consequently as the
ideal of those, statesmen who .hove pc.s
scsed the wisdom to appreciate the ne

nnd property Insurance. A consider
able beginning had been mad' towatd
the gradual adoption of this plan when
the present national house of represen
tatives reached the, consideration, a
fortnight ago. of the fort tl cut Ions ap

Joined with the senators from" the east

telnforeed bv bcnators from the non

statesmanlike protection of the great
const cities from sudden attack In the
event of war. The sentiment of the
senate, a sentiment, virtually unani
mous, was well exptessed by Senator
TVIIor, who did not believe th X'nlted

and who would not have the nation

leropn'ssed that a gloat war anion? the
Ktuopcan nations seemed not far off
and who. In any event, vatdrd his own

ir this plain bit of common -ense

The sacrifice of a Jj.OuU.iiOO wars-hip,

Is a big price to pay for th" sympathy

hand In the intelligent p.ut of Kurope
which would not at least In sympathy

Prince orPauper Which ?
fine of the already noticeable conse
quences of the animated state of Penn
sylvania Republican politics nt this
time lui3 been a boom In the holler
plate IndiiJ-try. The boiler plate in
dustry, we may explain, Is that Indus
try which supplies to economical news
papers rc.ulv-made reading matter
measured 1 y the yard. I'olltirolly, this
supply is seasoned to the beneficiary's
order, and tiien distributed free nruong
editors who can be Induced to take it,
the hope being thus to Influence public
opinion. This species of bunco busi
ness may In.'Incnce a certain kind of
public opinion, but rarely does It in
fluence In the way desired that pot lion
of the public whose opinion is of any
particular consequence. Its effective
ness even among fools Is doubtless
doomed to gradual extinction by rea
son of the fact that even fools are
liable in course of time to learn to
distrust those who make a practice of
fooling them.
A brief time ago the boiler plate In
dustry was held under virtual mon
opoly by the li'ticfntlgable boomers of
Colonel William A. Stone. They had
tne benefit of iac tnailinir lists of the
Republican state committee; they in
cluded among tholr number some of
the more prominent oflicers and mem
bets of that committee, whose Identi
fication with the boiler plate bureau
tended at the outset to give it dignity
and tone; and they flooded the state
with hand-me-down literature lauding
the unrivalled virtues of the gentle,
man from Allegheny and deftly apply
ing the sand bag to such of his fellow
citizens o.s had the hardihood to aspire
to compote with him for the guberna
torial nomination. The Stone boiler
plate department, in other woids, ran
along Joyfully and exuberantly for
quite a time, without a tlval In sight.
Rut now, alas, Its sway is to be dis
puted. A Richmond has appeared in
Its field. In the Wllkes-Rarre Times
ot recent date, In a lioller plate spe
cial dated llarrtshurg, we read:
No man In the state, ileli or poor, will
be deceived by the cry that opposition to
J tiny and his gang ot busses Is composed
of millionaires. There wasn't a man at
the Hoarse meeting which Invited John
Wanamnker to become a candidate for
governor that was worth a million, or a
ha if a million, or a quarter of a million
ol ilollats. It was composed of farmers,
merchants, lawyers, doctors and editors.
It III becomes Senator Quay's Iriende to
inie tlie cry thai millionaires ute behind
the movement to crush his power. Nu
nuiii interested in lighting Quaylsm owns
a IT.'A'ii resilience hi Allegheny icounty,
another tine residence in Heaver "county,
a mansion in Washington, a aw acre farm
In Lancaster county, another big farm
In ciiesier county ami a plantation m
rinrldn. And fjuay owns all of these;
has bought them within the paat twenty
years, and out ot a salary of V,,()tHl a year!
The fight this eai Is against Alllllon
nhe Quay and the corporation!! which
have always helped him to malnliin Ills
gtip on the state. It is really tlV tlBht
of the people against the inilllouaiies.
There is more to the same effect, but
this specimen quotation suffices to
bilng out our point. Rrother "Watia
maker's coy silence of the past fort
night is now explained. He has quietly
been planning a coup d'etat. While
his llu-rury lieutenant, Senator Kauff
man, has been llgglng up and re-olllng
the old boiler-plate mill, the crafty
merchant prince has been disposing of
hs minions to charltv In order to hop
into ,. poor man's tight against the
panipeied and the plutocratic- Quay.
Swiftly have conditions changed. A
year ago it was Wanamaker who wore
the broadcloth and Quny who donned
the blouse.
If Quay Is now a bloated child of
mammon we hope he knows It.
The total loss to the government as a
lesult ot the disaster at Havana Is ufll
dally pronounced to be Sl.lMOil. This
embraces the cost of hull, machinery,
equipment, armor, gun protection and
armament, both in main and secondary
batteries, It Includes the cost of nmr
munition, shells, coal, current supplies,
and. lu short, the whole outfit. Washing
ton dispatch In the Him.
.If it shall become necessary to col
lect compensation from Spain It will
be wise to add a few millions In the
form of exemplary damages,
Hussla has just. contracted with the
Carnegles for armor plate t $,'5 a ton,
which Is $125 more than the Carnegles
offered to charge the United-States.
Hut, then. Itussja- inijans business.
It. Is pointed out fby .advocates of
the accident theory that, the; Maine's'
case had had, parallels'. -In iS8.1, the
United States" )h'iili-;6f-vai; '.Missouri,
then lylntr nt Plhraltn.r, was totally
wrecked by the explosion of iier maga
zine. Another; case famous in naval
history Is that of Her Majesty's ship
Doterel. In 1S87 fine was lying at an-
chor off Pucntn. Arenas, In the Straits
of Megellau. An explosion wiped the
ship from the face of the waters, nnd
left almost none of her crew olive. Hut
since those days ship constitution has
materially improved. It ought not now
to he considered plausible that our
naval officials should have failed to
take lessons from these sad examples.
President CJoinpers' refusal to meet
Judge Woodward will not break the
lattcr's liPiirt.
Opinions on fhe
Loss of fhe Maine.
Philadelphia Press: "Disasters like
that of the Maine are Inevitable If a na
tion multiplies Its lleet of inodorn war
ships with their intricate possibilities, of
destruction. He the rauso what It may,
sheur accident or ttcachcry, a breach ot
discipline or a flaw In machinery, care
lessness of n. fatal error In method or
Judgment, the modem war vessel ofteis
so broad a target to adverse tate that a
sober suspension of Judgment is Impera
tively demanded, A single torpedo
charge, and scores are carried; the charge
of n single gun. nnd each piece has a ser
vice equipment of 400 rounds; a heated
magazine, a misplaced wire, toal tin
watched, or wet and Ill-packed any of
these causes work ruin. A vessel like
the Maine is crowded with engines, and
swarms with dynamos, with electric
wires, with special muchlncry, with ex
plosives, combustibles, nnd the chnnce
and hazard of file from every conceiv
able cause. The annals of these great
vessels lu every navy during the twenty
shoit years lu which they have been In
use are flecked with a running record of
small casualties and minor accidents,
which have brought ship after ship un
der all lings to tho very edge ot disas
trous explosion. With these facts and
tMs record, under every ensign and In
every navy, it behooves the public to lace
this terrible blow to the self-respect, th
pride and the prestige ot the nation with
i aim nnd suspended Judgment. Time and
Inquiry will tell the cause of this it re
parable los of men. of ship nnd of that
Indpllnablo self-confidence which long
fieedom from accident breeds, and until
time nnd Inquiry have told it Is the first
duty of rverv man, be his plnce what U
may, to face the disaster, to realize Its
Importance, to leutn Its lesson as It de-
clops nnd to have neither criticism nor
condemnation, neither crimination nor
recrimination, until all Is known, 'this Is
not a time' for theory or suspicion, for
suggestion of treachery without or of
carelessness within- but for calm, sober,
resolute readiness to wnlt on events, to
learn from them, and even out of this
crushing blow to forge nnd pet feet new
strength and defense for the old flag."
o
Koine RclloctloiM.
Philadelphia Inquirer: "The thought
cannot he evaded that these modern
naval monters, coered with the heaviest
aimor and armed with great guns, may
not bo such defensible, floating forts, alter
all. Who knows what would happen If
one of them should ever be struck in an
engagement by a ball from the enemy'.'
If an explosion from within can hopeless
ly wreck a battleship what would an ex
plosion from without or the bursting of
dynamite on deck accomplish 7 Talk of
war! It would be a wholesale massacre.
Out on the plains and on the border in
the olden days it was the man who 'got
the drop' on his victim that lived to tell
of the event. May It not be that when
two Immense fighting vessels, despite all
their armored precautions for safety,
open lit o uiioii each other It will be the
one that gets In the first shot that will
survive? If ever a great battle should bo
fought all our mcdein theories may bo
smashed Into smithereens by the reniilts.
There Is at.other thought, too. May It
not also be that In the continued inven
tion of high explosives against which
nothing cm stand all nations will
in the end find the way to peace'.' When
the annihilation of all coin Pined must
be the result of watfare. nations will not
be anxious to meet each other, elthtr In
the field or on the water."
o
Dniiceioun in War and Pence.
Philadelphia Times: "No one Knows
very cleaily what would happen to a
modern battleship if It ever got Into bat
tle, but It has lepeatedly been shown to
be a very dangerous thing In time ot
peace. The liritlsh have already lost
tw- or three great armored ships that
apparently went down trom sheer inabil
ity to keep afloat, and the sinking of the
Vlctoila by collision with the Camper
down at Tripoli four or five years ag),
when some :ir0 lives were lost. Is recalled
to memory by this mysterious affair m
the harbor of Havana. The Peruvians,
it will also be remembered, lost their
bfst warship and tho Chilians two of
theirs, during the war between those
coutittles, without the exchange ol n shot,
and as armor and aimament alike in
crease, the existence of these great light
ing machines seems to grow constantly
more precarious."
o
llmd lo Understand.
Syracuse Post: "It Is hard to under
stand how in a compaiatlvely new ves
sel, where every precaution for safety is
taken, an accident of this kind could have
ocuurred, and It Is equally difficult to
understand how nn enemy could approach
at night and place a torpedo uainst the
slip. The ortlceis of the Maine knew
that their ship was In an unfriendly port.
They knew that almost the same pre
cautions would have to be taken against
surprise or treachery as would be nec
essary In lime of war. It Is Impossible to
believe that the vessel was not so faith
fully guarded that an enemy could ap
proach at night without 'belne discovered
nud halted long before any damage could
be done."
o
The N'ntion'i Dead.
New Voik Sun: "The men of the Maine
who lost their lives lu Havana hitihor
ate not less the nation's dead, nnd not
the less died they for the flag, than If
they had died in battle. The honors ot
of war to them, to their families and de
