Tlio simple fact Ii that no country In tlio Iht onros to got In Uncle Sum's wwf when that patient and lonR-suffer-lnjr Individual once gets blood In his eye. An Object Lesson. The countiy will not soon forpret the splendid lesson In. genuine patriotism taught It by congress In the past few dajs In the rallying of the representa tives of all pectlons and all parties to the president's support In an emer gency which involved the preservation of the nation's honor. Theie ate those who nffect to despise congress; who make It a practice to hptak 111 of the men who occupy pub lic olllce. They asset t that tho quality of our public men has deteriorated; that love of countiy exists In .these so called mateilalistlu das rather as a languid and eficmlnate sentiment than us 11 vital fact. The gospel of pessim ism has been preached with such per sistence of le-lteratlon by men assum ing to voice the opinions of a higher civilization that many honest Ameri cans hae been deceived. Hut here, only n little more than n ve.tr after nn exciting national campaign which divided the mat-tes and the classes and dlffeientlated tho sections as had not lipen done before w Ithln the memory of the present generation; a campaign that excited hot passions, fed and inten sified bitter piejudlces nnd gave birth to not i few scorching animosities, within a fortnight, almost within a day, the nation through its representa tives at Washington, diops all that, and unifies ns It has not been unified within the memory of any living man. It is a grandv an Insplilng spectncle. It ileal s away an Immerse amount ot specloug mlsrepiesentatlon and false opinion. It att3 ns a tonic upon the national conscience and the national pube. For a brief time at least wc are nil Americans Americans with tho word 'Country" written on hearts and headr. Americans awake to the beauty nnd the sublimity of true Americanism. Tho time may come when most of us will i elapse Into the former dlls!ons, dissensions and ruts; but to be for a day united Is to haws tasted a draught of patriotism, tho wholesomeness of which will constitute hereafter nn Im pel ishable memory. The chances are that Consul Oenernl Iee will be peisona still more non grata to Kpaln befoie this Cuban Inci dent Uom-. ' Some Unfounded Fears. Leslie's Weekly this week Is a naval number, being devoted almost wholly to pletuies and descriptions of nur wnr shlps and harlmr defences. It Is a valuable Issue, which will repay peiu Mtl. Incidentally It set& at rest some pie. ilent fe.ir. "A favorite bugaboo of Imaginative sc.ue-vvilteis," it says, -s tho picture of a toielgn man-of-war ljlng off Coney IMand or Sandy Hook und wom bat ding gi enter New York off the fnco of the eaith. As a matter of fact, no ess,. mm hostile Intent could get within fifteen miles of tho Uatteiy without meeting a fato similar to that of the JIalne In Havana hatbor. While the War depaitment has necessailly guaided with seciecy its coast-defense plans, Xew York Is In lenlltj one of the bet piotected cities In the world. The huihur and bay aie thoroughly mined, and the mines aie connected by electilc vvlies with secret under ground casemates where the opeiators work. The external defenses, in addi tion to the foits, consist chiefly of the big 'dKippeailiiR' guns, at Sandy Hook and elsevvheie. No foit Is neeesaiy foi these guns The gunners are ab solutely piotected b a big pniapet, wheio it is loaded. When filing be coints neccM-aiy ponderous machlneiy 'ulses the big cannon so that Its mouth points over the paiapet. In thirty sec otitis the gunners have trained the can non piopeily, and an enormous projectile- Is sent Hying ten miles ovei the sea. "At pieFent the Inner hnibor ot Xew York Is guarded by two 12-iucli, thiee 10-lnch and live eight-Inch disappear ing guns, as well as thlity-tvvo 12-lnch mortals. These aie till completed and In position. Woik Is now going on for other dlsappcailng guns which will he finished this ear The southern and eastern entiances to tho harbor are more fully piotected than the Inner hnrbor Itself. Here Is nn armnment of twenty-one 12-lnch guns on lifts, fifteen 10-Inch and nine 8-Inch guns on dls appeailng carriages, 17C lS.Inch tnor Jars, nnd many submarine mines oper ated from five mining casemates. This armament will soon bo Increased by the mighty 126-ton gun building at Bethlehem, which can shoot a 2300 pound projectile 1C miles." Tho foregoing is true as to tho de fences that exist on paper; but It is equally true that It It had not been forithls recent war scare most of these guns would havo been allowed to rust on unolled carriages, while the birds bullded nests in their muzzles. An unprecedented andcertalnly n per plexing thing has happened. The New York Kvenlng Post has printed a word of pratso for Mr. McKlnley. It Is sand wiched between columns of chronlo fault-finding; still, It shines forth like a KWOrt deed In a naughty world. "Tho president," says the Post, "has made an excellent record during tho emer Koney creuted by the explosion of the Mains In tho harbor of Havana. There hnsbecn nothing to criticise, but ov pojjtlng to iftmrrietia, ."not only In his ucttoiWwt.JiLuls. .spirit and .bearing' The fact that there could be anything un.wvheio with nothing In It for tho New York Evening Tost to criticise Is difficult to comprehend. Keillor Clod kln'p pen must have slipped. m It Is worthy of consideration that If the destruction ot the Mnlno shall bo attributed by the court of Incjulry to the work of persons unknown the ver dict will mid materially to the case for effective American Intervention In Cuba. For then the evidence will show that not only are American trade nnd property Interests In Cuba unsnfo un der Spunlflh rule nnd not only Is that rule iowerless to maintain Internal tranquility, but nlso that the govern ment of Spain Is unable to afford ade quate protection to the ships of friend ly nations which drop nnchor In Cuban wnteis. In other words, Spanish con trol of Cuba will stand convicted on nil sides before the world ns nn In ternational nuisance, nnd Intervention to abate this nuisance will become nn unavoidable duty. In any view of tho matter, therefore, Spain must get out. The Crisis Past. So far as the governments of Spain and the United States arc concerned the crisis is past. Spain has turned the corner. Wc shall have our own way hereafter, with out serious friction, unless the ig norant and inflammable puttion of the populace at Madrid or in Havana shall break through the lines of official restraint and by some desperate act make neces sary summary chastisemert. It is not the Spanish government but the Spanish mob which now men aces peace. The actions of a mob arc not predictable. Hence it is that the United States, while hop ing for the best, prepares for the worst. The tentative request for ( tena-al Lee's recall was obviously Sagas ta's shrewd "feeler," to ascertain whether he could make further jugglery with American patience or whether he was finally a the end of his tether. The president's prompt and energetic reply must have confirmed Saga.sta s suspic ion that the jugglery jig wat. up. The Spanish premier's mlaiit as sent to General Lee's retention af ter that reply had reached m :i in dicates the mood of the gambler who, with his last haMid gone, candidly and with a titicc to all artifice, faces the long anticipa'ed inevitable. We had an illustration of this mood in the frankness with vhich Scnor Dupuy de Lome ac knowledged to Judge Dyy the au thenticity of the Canalejas letter. It was the acknowledgment of de feat divested suddenly of all dissim ulation; the springing forwar 1 of the man, so long held subsidiary to the diplomat Lui where the de Lome confession was largely per sonal, the Sagasta confession is in ternational in its import. It is Spain's notice to the United States that Spain in Cuba is at our mercy. Otherwise, the issue concerning Lee would have been pushed to a finality, with the understanding at Madrid that the quick blow would have been the only blow dangerous to us. Barring accidents, the pathway to Cuban liberation without war now lies unobstructed before us. The president cleared it of all ser ious hindrances by his one act of firmness. "The fitting word at the proper time" describes to a nicety the sectet of this magical transfor mation. Having won obedience at the critical moment, the rest will be comparatively easy. And in proportion as we maintain this firm and peremptory tone and abandon hereafter that excess of considera tion for a nation inherently un worthy of it just in that proportion will a peaceful and satisfactory sol ution of the problem be facilitated. What a queer ambition young Hearst had when he bought the New Yoik Journal. Woith a dozen millions in his own name and heir to twico as many more, ho had no need of profits and could hnve made his paper tho model newspaper In the business. To havo capitalized such an enterprise nnd guided It through successfully would have been nn honorable undertaking which would haw made civilization his debtor. Hut to run simply a huge muck-mlll that cats up his millions and leaves nobody tho bettor for Its existence what a cutlous ambition it Is, and when all is said, how bnnen' General Wade Hampton, who some tlrre ago wanted the South to stay at home and let the North do the lighting against Spain, has lepented. He now ofTers to head a leglmeut. Wo sus pected that Wade's original remark was merely n symptom of Indigestion. sfc . . The great British salt trust has been a disastrous failure. Tho promoters of the scheme have discovered that there Is more salt In the eaith than they had dreamed of. It Is useless for any trust to attempt to corner tho earth. German otllclals who want to ex clude Yankee pupils from German uni versities need to bear In mind that they can't do this without at the same time excluding those greatly coveted Yankee dollars. William 13. Curtis says Secretary Al ger is the Jingo of the cabinet. The man who has been reared amid the odors of tho pines is likely to have red blood in his veins. Tho Now Vorl. Journal has had an In terval of sanity at last. "From now," It eayi, "until the conclusion or an honorable pence tlio covernment at Washington Is Ametlca, nnd all Atner Icnns muct hold tip Its hands."

Governor UUck's offer of polltlc.il autonomy t'o the antl-1'latt Insurgents promises to produce an eaily pneiflca tlon of th'j New York situation. Will the same play do the business equally well In Pennsylvania? Unless Fome one goes Into ship deal ing on the Installment plan It is prob able that Spain will not be able to pur chase much ot a navy this season.

He was mod eft, too. After somo brilliant movement of personal valor his brigade formed lit a body and determined to serenade him at his headquaiters, expecting, of course, a hpeech. Hut L.co got an inkling of the matter, and when ho saw them coming ho slipped out ot his tent and hid In tho bushes. After tho disappointed troopers had called for him In vain and dispersed he peeped ftutlvely from his hiding place, and In a subdued tono abked, "Havo they gone?" o General I.ee posst svej temarkable com pohttro In battle.

It was hero that the beautiful Nulllo was gored by one fragment ot shell and her master's leg torn by an other. Ho was noted for his geniality and Jollity. Ho loved humoi nnd fun and got till there was to be had In thoso try ing times. Hut his cheerfulness failed ut Appomattox.

It was then that he again becamo conspicuous, General Leo hended the southern division of tho Inauguration parade, and his hand some presence and splendid horsemanship forced tho men on the sidewalks to cheer him with more vim than they did anyono elso. A similar demonstration occurred when, four years Inter, General I,eo led tho Virginia troops In the Washington centennial parade In New York to tho stirring tune of "Dixie."

THE FEOLINQ AT WASHINGTON. rrom nn IMItorlnl Dispatch by C'harle3 Kmoty Smith to the Philadelphia Press, The request of the Spanish government for the recall of General Leo and for tho substitution ot merchant vcsels to cany American relief to Cuba was promptly and properly declined. I2ver thing de pends upon what lies behind this request. If Spain wants nnd means war, then war wilt come. Hut unless Bpatn Is mad enough and fatuous enough to provoke a conflict lit which crushing defeat nnd the completo loss of Cuba nro Inevitable, then even todoy.'s striking developments nnd quick movements do not necessarily In volvo ar. o Washington Isstlricdbytbls Spanish ac tion; tho country will bo deeply moved by It; but the coolest und most serene man In all tho land Is tho president. It Is not tho serenity of passive and unconscious disposition, but full of reflection, ot clear prevision, of adequate realization and f fixed purpose. Ho will not shrink from any responsibility; ho will not hesitate to accept any Issue that must bo accepted; but he will seo that tho fault clearly rests where It Justly belongs. Hverj thing for tho nation's honor nnd defenso, nothing for nggresslon or passion. Tho president stands today whero ho has stood from tho beginning Ho is prepared for nnv emer gency, ho will dauntlessly do all that tho nation's securltyrequlrcs; he will bo equal to tho Immediate Issuo ot tho hour and to tho larger Issuo of humanity; but ho will not be stampeded; ho will not bo rat tled; ho will avert war If wnr can bo nvertcd without tho sacrifice of honor or safety, but ho will resolutely meet this or any other call. o Tho question of tho Maine and tho ques tion ot Cuba uto entlroly distinct und sep arate. Thoy nro not to bo confused or complicated. Tho question of tho Malno must llrst bo solved, nnd tho broader Is sue of tho Cuban strugglo Is completely dissociated with It, except as It might possibly become Interwoven in some pro cess of adjustment growing out of the for mer. Dverythlng concerning the Mnlno still waits on tho 1 0,101 1 of tho couit ot In epilr.v ltio belief that the explosion orig inated in nu external causo Is steadily sticngthenlng; but unless that Invnlvs the complicity of the Spanish authorities, which nobody believes, It stilt leaves tho way open to a peaceful solution A judg ment of external cn'ube would Impose upon our government tho duty of clear leprcscntntloii and llrm nttltudo which, wo may be sure, would bo unhesitatingly accepted. Hut unless tho Spanish govern ment hteks a conlllct, which Is Incredible, or unless It shall bo powerless beforo Its own populace, which Is a possible danger, such a icrdlct followed bv such action would still be far from Involving a collis ion. There 1110 many intervening steps before tho last nltcrnntlvo of Wnr tan come, und that alternative can only como when one of the parties Is either bent upon wnr abroad or helpless at homo. The United States Is neither helpless nor bent upon wnr. It Is strong enough not to bo lash and gieat enough not to be un just. o While the Immediate question of the Malno Is at tho front the larger question of Cuba's fato remains In abeyance. Hut it Is not forgotten and cam ot bo forgot ten so long its starvation stalks tho hap less Island. Tho Amcilrun pooplo cannot be deaf to tho voice of humanity nnd tho American government Is as scnsltlvo to , Its appeals ns Is tho country. No presi dent was over closer to tho people tlnr President McKlnley, and no one who knows his gieat, generous naturo needs to bo told that his ttuo heart throbs with smpathy for tho hurt and tho bleeding nnd the struggling at our own door. Hut ho Is placed whevo ho must consider all questions nnd all interests, and where es pecially he must determlno methods. Tlio ultimate responsibility comes on him and ho Is nnswerablo not merely to the im pulso of tho mrment, but to the cooler de libctatlon of tho future and to the final tribunal of right. Sentiment can point to tho end but judgment and accountability must find tho way. The one thing that Is certain Is tint the government will In Its own way and In Its own tlmo deal with tho Cuban problem and that It will meet tho Just eNpertutlons ot the Amcilcan people. o Tho president hns not wavered or tcm poilsed. Ho began with nctlon and ho has dcllboiately but steadily moved for nrtl. Every American prisoner wns re leased. Tho rights of American clth.eus wero respected. Wevlcr was lcmovcd Tho call for a liberal policy was at least ostensibly answered. Autonomy was of fered, If not accepted. Itellef was opened These measures bad n fair trlnl, and Just us the trial had gone far enough to ma'co It clear that they weio unavailing and thatthenext step must come, tho destruc tion of the Milno blotted out every other question of tho hcur. Hut tho duty re mains and tho president, following his own pathway, will movo on. o The president nnd congress will be In full nccord. All realize that when wo front outwnrd and fnco tho nations w. cannot have an executive policy nnd a legislative policy. The piesldcnt nnd con gress will go together, becnuso tho prosl dent respects congress and congiess will seo that tho president Is right. Congress Is already moving to tho quick sttppott of tho president, nn? tndcy tho countiy will stand ns one nuiii boh I ml him.
