This is the assumption upon which the presi dent and his aiHIseis aie proceeding nnd It Is manifestly to their credit. U Is said that Maximo Gomes', has a most violent temper; but It should be remcmbcied that he has had a deal of provocation. The 'I le That Binds The speech of Ambassador Hay at the Lord Mayor's Kaster banquet in London Wednesday night and ItB cor dial, een enthusiastic reception by the notable Englishmen there assembled constituted an event of more than or dinary significance. Mr. Hay sat at the toastmaster's right hand. The Spanish ambassador was to have hat at the left hand side, but at the last mln ue he sent his 1 egrets, pleading illness. In the couibo of his icmarks Colonel Hay said: "We nie sometimes accused of look ing after our own Interests with a cer tain eneigy and peitlnaclty. I might Bay, In the spirit of pride rather than contiltion, that it only shows what stock we are of; but this truth Is in contestable, that for nearly three gen erations of men, and In spite of the constant differences, there has been peace between us and friendly regard a peace growing more firm and solid as the years go by, and a friendship which I am sure the vast majority of both peoples hope and trust may last forever. The good understanding be tween tis Is based on something deeper than mere, expediency. All who think cannot but see there Is a sanction like that of religion which binds us In part nership in the serious work of the world. Whether we will or not, we are associated In that work by the very na ture of things, and no man and no group of men can prevent It. We are bound by ties we did not forge and that we cannot break. We are Joint minis ters in the same sacred mission of freedom and pi ogress, charged with duties we cannot evade by the Imposi tion of Irresistible) hands." A5tHDalcl' fom limloii udtls; "Col- A oncl liny, In an Impressive preoratlon, which elicited outbursts of cheetlnit, recalled the sudden Illumination through thu fog by 'earchllsjhl of the Hrltlsh und American Hags llylnc on the cruiser Drooklyn during the Jubilee lestlvltles, us n happy augury, and closed his response by expressing the hope that the two Hags might ever float united." This Is the sentiment of the American people. A significant development Is the pe titioning of many Cuban refuges at Key West for the appointment of Gen eral Leo as territorial governor of Cuba during the Interval between American occupation and the constitu tion of an Independent Cuban republic. Thcie can be no doubt that If such a plate should have to be created by our government General Lee would be the Ideal mun for It.

As for the Important harbois, tliese are so well de. fended by land batteries, torpedoes and mines thnt they are sate- from any fleet that Spain can muster." Thus it will be se r, that there is com paratively little genuine cause for un easiness on this scoie. The New Postmastor Oener.il, No other appointment which Presi dent McKlnley has yet made so well merits the gratitude of the nation as does the nomination of Hon. Charles Utnory Smith to be postmaster general, vice Hon. James A. Gary, resigned. We can conceive of but one other appoint ment which would be better received, and that may be on the cards. We te fer to the promotion of Mr. Smith from the postmaster generalship to the port folio of stato a post for which he Is by training and temperament pre-eminently qualified. These are times which bring strong men to the front and send weak ones to tho rear. Mr. Smith Is one ot the strong ones a splendid type of cul tured and gifted Amerlcnn citizenship, fully equipped for onerous responsibil ity, yet representing in his personality the graces which make for signal pop ularity. For the political aspect of his appointment we caro nothing at all. Tho course which he has pursued In the factionnl party d!fferen.'s long heplagulng this commonwealth has been guided by crlnrlclB and con- science, nnd though Inflexible and de termined has been without malice. Hut this Is not a time for factional ism In any sense. Its petty squabbles fade Into Insignificance beside the great emergency at present confronting us, antl the one consideration which Is of vital Importance Is Mr. Smith's fit ness to strengthen the president's circle of confidential advisers of which there can bo no possible doubt. We re joice In his proferment and we congrat ulate the nation that It Is to have so ad mirable 11 servnnt. Heto comes Captain 'liny of the United States ntmy, after a winter's sojourn In Alaska, with the prediction that this jcai's clean-up of gold In the Klondike will not exceed $S,O0O,00O In stead of $200,000,000 expected. In other words, If his ptedlctlon is verified, every dollar's worth of gold brought back to the states from the polar Kl Dm ndo will represent nn expenditure of from $2 to JH, saying nothing of tho personal privation and suffering under gone by the gold-hunters. The probab ilities are on Captnln Hny's side. Hut the Knondlke craze will not yet abate. Its dellilum will last as long ns thcro Is a gleam ot hope. The Anieilenn vice-consul at Sagua In Grande, John V. Jovn, declined to tetuin with Consul Haiker to the United States. Instead he took Mr. Haiker's pistols and iltle and made tracks foi the camp ot Gomez, thus saving the expense of u Journey homo and back again. Our Popullstlc neighbor, ns was to have been expected, wants to pay the expenses of the war with Spain by means of a special class tax on tho tin If t of the tlch. Your true dema gogue aha8 wants to do the talking while stuiie one else does the pacing. I'tilo i Heinabt, the Spanish minis ter thin was, says ho expects to return to Washington when Spain shall have whipped the United States. He Is evl (hntl in foi a long acatlon It Is Intei estlng to learn that the l't unsylvniiia senatois did not object to Keillor Smith's appointment. This doubtless means that they made a li tue oi necessity. 1 OLD BY TUG STARS. Dnilj Miiroscopo l):nwn br Aucc!iu, I'lio I'libiinn Astrntogci.

The teims of the joint rtsolut.on of congress, amounting practically to an ultimatum to Spain, havo beet, criticised as un met ssaiilv provocative of war. The feel Ins has boon entertained in quarters not open to the accusation of treachery or malicious hosUlty to American honor ond interests, by General Woodford, our minister to Spain, and even President McKlnley, for Instance, that the result would be accomplished by diplomatic ne, gotlatlotis without the consequence of an armed conflict. The pope alsd nourished that hope, and iirdoubtedly u similar ex pectation prevailed at all tho great lltran e al circles of the world Tho obvious eeitalnty that Spain would lose Cuba In any event, coupled with tho desperate lln mclal straits of the kingdom and its liability to withstand internal revolu tionary commotion, encouraged the belief that with such Mace us It could It would yieltl to the demands ot the United States inifl nf t (.i sinrnhlrv Tinttm l-ii iv imlniiliier j m fulllo attempt to coerce Cuba into yleldlng to Its domination. o Peremptory as were the tone antl terms of the joint lesolutlon of congress, they vveie. atte-r all, not more pcicmptoty than the implication of tho unanimous appro priation by congress, with the unanimous applause of tho American people, of llfty millions of dollurs to be used by the pres ident In making a warlike demonstration against Spain through tho most Impres tlvo military pteraiatloni! That step, taken long ago, was a distinct warning oven a positive threat. It meant that we wore determined to enforce our demands violently if they vveie not yielded to peacefully. That of Itself was virtually an ultimatum, and tho joint resolution was nothing more than the formal trans lation of that practical threat into sharp words. Poth served notice on Spain that sho must leave Cuba of her own motion or risk a war with us. The Joint resolu tlon merely put It in the form of words and lequlred that tho answer be Imme diate, that tho question might bo set tled forthwith. o Such a decision was demanded undoubt edly by the business Interests of this eountiy and was requisite to the most effective use of our military prepara tions In case of war. The further and In definite continuance of susponse would huve been no less Injurious to us than con bo tho precipltatlcn of actual hos trlities, nay, would have been of greater ovll censequence. It would have tended to paralyze still more all enterprise nnd to demorallzo our wo' ,intr navy, already strained to almost tho last point of en durance It was necessary that the agony should be ended, for It had continued un interruptedly from tho day of tho blow ing up of the Maine and had been made tho moro Intense) by preparations for war such us hiid i.ever been approached In magnitudo in our history, for no such preparation bail piccedeel the civil war. lUtlier thuy were a vain and utterly un. w Itmtlllnbls exhibition, or the demnnd by congress for an Immediate decision by Spnln was merely a logical and necessary consequence) of thorn. o Tim question of tho language proper foi use In such an ultimatum, or whether the time for It had come, It not now open to discussion. It lias been decided; the Ultimatum went to Madrid Wednesday, Now all repining, nil criticism, all rebel lion, Is setlltlcn. Uvery attempt to pro--oko popular discontent by crying out against war undtt tho circumstances of tho situation, such as that made hi an ad dress to wcrktt gmen recently sent out by a few clotgymcn and others, Is a crim inal outgoing which, If persisted In, will now rentlet Its authors liable to swift punishment as enemies of the republic. Newspaper prcn editions of the same gen eral character must cense, under penalty of tho sharpes measures of repression The time In which such a trcasonnblo spirit was tolerable has passed.
