Slandering the Army.
When Poulteney liigelovv published
broadcast tho assertion thnt the tegu
lar army nt Tampa Is worse clothed,
uor.so fed and worfie officered than any
nrmy In Km ope. not excepting Spain's,
it appears that he not only exhibited
n painful lack of reflect for Amerl
i on prohtlse abroad hut also said what
uiiH grossly untruo.
Tin." sick list among tho regulars at
Tnmim Is 2 per cent., or 2'fe per cent,
below normal; the German military
ut'nehu who Is at Tampa watching
things tor his govprnment testlllcs that
the American army ipcoIos ns good
food as any army In Huropp and thnt
It Is served in much more generous
quantity. As for the quality of the
rlllcers. this Is yet to bo tested In
Cuba; but It will be strange If the of
fice! s who have shown nblltty and
i-our.mo on the plains shall suddenly
reeise their good i, voids In an alien
couiitrj.
lust criticism can be made of the
t intment of the volunteer commands.
Tlie.-o are well fed but not yet prop
erly clothed or equipped. The blame
for this, hoeer. rests not upon their
I'lllcers nor upon the executive of
ficials at Washington, but upon the
'"untry'B gioss niipiepniediiess. for
which Micee-'Miw sessions of indlffet
i nt coiigroM-inon. sus-tnlned in tlielr In
'IHfTcmu by a false peace sentiment
among the people, are tesponslble Tlie
llfllculty will be remedied ns soon as
1 isslble. and good citizens will bo pa
tient, tnklng advantage of the object
lesson to make sure that such a situa
tion Minll never recur.
As for those who trnde In ildictile
and false representation of tho Amer
ican nrmy, thus complicating our gov
ernments difficulties and giving false
hope, to our nation's enemies, they nie
likely In time to find residence In the
1'nlted States exceedingly uncomfort
ably. Sovcral ejetta editions of the seioll
of faino will need to bo issued if a

A Year of Prosperity.
From tlie St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A record of wonderful commercial
activity and progress In the United
mates Is assured for tho flbcal year
which ends with next mouth. 1'iosper
Ity Is hero. In spite of the tertipor
nry disturbance of war genetal liusl
ness Is advancing. Fort Inn trnde
shows an enormous balance In our
favor. Our fNpotts for the year will
reach the unexampled total of $1,200,
000,000, with impoi ts of SGOO.OOO.OUO, leav
ing a balance in our fnvor of C0O.000,
000. Each working day of the year we
have sold to foreign countiies neatly
J.'.OOO.OOO more than wc bought from
them. Wo are exporting three times
lis much brend'Jluffs as In 189. The
total for the Inst ten months is $100,
000,000 greater than for the correspond
ing period a year ago, Kxports of
manufactured urtlcles also nie stead
ily growing, Tho Increase of all ex
ports for the year will bo at least $150,
000,000 over the fiscal year ending June
CO, 1697, though the aggregate then wua
remnrknbly large. It Is no figure of
Kpcech to call the United Otatrs the
provider of the world, and In many re
spects It Is becoming the world's lead
IriK iiicelnnlclnn ns w oil.
Prior to tho oir 1S7C tho balance of
'rude was ulmost tnutrktlily against
tho United Hlntes. fMticp then the
favor. Tho eces ot rypoits over Im
ports sine" lSf0 has been In round fig
ures: isnn, 5HO.000.000; 1?')1, JM.OCO.OOO;
1SA2. $20,100,000; 1S14, '127,000.000; 1S13,
$"! 1,000.000; lSlfl, $s:!.t!00,0f'0; 1S97. STO,
000,000, ten months or WS. $511,000,000.
In only one enl of this decade, 1S93,
lutve Imports exceeded exiorts, and the
difference was less than $'(,000,000. The
percenl.ige of exports over linpnttfl
last year wns 4i.!i2: for ten months of
this ear tlie percetitagp hns gone tip
to 100 ,Vt. We have been sending abroad
this year an average of $1,000,000 In
merchandise every dny. nnd every dol
lar recelvMl Is the equivalent of a gold
dollnr.
In the presence of such figures the
calamity croakeis must necessarily be
silent. The favornble showing Is too
vast to be assailed. I'tee coinage has
been tiled bv Its own favorite test of
the price of wheat and found n hollow
scales hnve urually Inclined In our
the atmospliprp of nn old disturbance
dciuslon. As for the war, It will clear
to business and public tranquility. Jly
forcing Spain nut of our neighborhood
nn era of rml pence will come, and
the business of the United Stntes leap
forwnrd, leachlns a volume far be
nnd nnythlnc known In the past. For
peace with Justice is the aspiration of
our people, and the motto of good will
to man cots with our earnest put suit
of the aits of Industry.
It seems about time for somp pleasant-faced
gentleman to appear and
take ordeis for the onlv "authorized
nnd authentic history of the Spanish
American wai,"
The Klondike.
A Ml ay letter to a friend or rela
the fiotn some ndxenturous miner In
far off Alaskn. which finds in way
Into the newspapers nt home or the
unexpected return of 'i dlsheaitened
and discomfited ptospector who found
the dllllcultles of the trail unsuttnoun
table, ot who lost heni I In forcing
them, Is all that the outside world
learns thitfe days of the Internal con
dition of the Klondike News from
Seattle has mysteriously nnd Inglor
lotisly dlcontlnutd; Dawson and Cir
cle cltle.s might be situated on tho
upex of the Porar sea, o excluded
are they apparently from Intercom
munication with civilization. The great
rush to the Klondike which was re
cently anticipated has not taken place.
TIipio Is no rush, nnd thie I no pies
ent indication thnt thoie will be one.
This may In pait be attlibuted to the
pieoccupatlon of the war. Thousands
of our oung men who would have
sought nn outlet for their pent-up
energy and restless splilt have chosen
a moie gloiious n venue of ej-cape from
their commonplace environment in the
ranl; of the United Stntes nimy or
naval mllltln. The IntiO'luctlon of the
militant spirit Into the country has
exorcised the sol did phantoms of the
gold fields. At all events It Is n nobler
aspiration to take up arms In defent-e
of one's country than to follow what
appeared to many experienced men
who ought to know the lesoutec. of
the Klondike lntlmntely madness of
action In foisaklng tin stable and
ceitaln rewards of industry at homo
for the chimeras of the northland.
No news fioin the Klondike may be
taken negatlely as good, ft Is scarce
ly piobable that famine or even a
desperate scarcity or food existed
there during the long, dark and
dieary winter montlw. Although com
munication with tho outside world was
uncettaln and inteinilttent. It was not
entliely Interiupted. The admlnl'-tia-llon
morooer took the precaution of
oiganlzlng a relief expedition.
Whether this nld was lequlied or not
cannot be ascertained at piesent If
It was not, it was a measure of pre
caution icasonnble and politic In view
of tlie uncertainties nnd pessimistic
tumors which were continually leach
ing iifi The winter, although not jet
over by any means In those hyper
borean regions, must hae lelaxed Its
grasp on the eaith, tendering mining
nnd mining operations possible. The
sustalnment of life and health will be
come easier with the return of the
sun's summertime warmth.
Unfortunately there hns been great
loss of life thiough snowdrifts on the
Chllcoot pass Over fifty people weto
killed in one of tluse avalanches that
swept down the plde of the mountain,
and many nuiio wpre pcilously Injur
ed. There have alo been many Indi
vidual casualties, mote or l,ss foiIous.
Men wnndeted away from tlielr en
campments of whom nothing was ever
heiid of afterwards News of thene
misfortunes has combined with the
excitement of war ns a beneficent de
terrent. We take It that the rush to
the Klondike has ecnuul for tho pres
ent. On the eontraiy, wo may ex
pect to see an exodus southward from
Dawson nnd Clicie cities wiun travel
ing on the rlvei,' and oer tho ti alls
Is rendeied less hnunidous than, piob
ably. It Is at piesent. We do not
mean to tay that the placer digging
In the Klondike nie exhausted, or that
the soil Is not ns ikh In auriferous
metals as It was believed to be at first.
Hut Alaska has not yet bten subject! d
to that rigorous geological fiuivey
which will rceul Its hidden ote de
posits and lender them available to
labor and Industry. Settlement can
not become possible while the natural
resources of the country nm unknown.
The California gold diggings present
no analogy to the Klondike. California
was an open count! y, with tho inort
genial climate In tho world. If tiull
routes wera uiduous nnd sometimes
dangerous, the end of the Jouiney
placed the ptospector In possession of
n country where It was pn.sslblu for him
lo build up a home and call It father
land, even when It turned oul, as not
unfrequenil: was the case, that tho
gold diggings weto illusive. It is ns
scrtPd that more capital has been ub
Hotbed In reaching the Klondike than
will be ever taken out of It In gold.
This Is probably un exaggeration. It
Is believed that the Klondike Is only
n small section of what may turn out
In time to be a legion as rich In gold
as tho TUand of the noer ropubllc.
liaccr mlnlue Is natuiully iooa ex-
hausted. We have seen how soon It
yielded up Its superficial deposits
of uuld In California and Attntratla.
Alnnkn has not yet been subjected to
n geodetic survey, much less thorough
ly explored, nnd hntll this Is dono the
extent of Its mineral resources can
not be estimated,
.ludlclous gold seekers, thprefor", will
wait. To be sure, coflln ships still set
onll with their onrgc'S ot human
fielght from Seattle and still go to
plecoM on the rocks, or founder In tnld
oeenti. Hut this Ih nothing to what It
would have been had not the war
opened out to the adventurous a bet
ter toad to fame, It not to fortune
Speculators In the Klondike boom
hnve little more than chagrin nnd
bnnkiuplcy for their Investments It
Is probable that Innumerable more
lhes would have been lost In reach
ing the Klondike In the sepulchural
hulks thnt had been made icady for
thelt transpoitntlon than will be lost
In tho war.
The nfllce of secretary of state dur
ing the next few yenis will nffort, op
portunities for the display of bagaclotis
and far-sighted statesmanship such as
It has rarely had the chance to do
heretofore. If It Is true, ns Is repoiled
unoflhlally, that Judge Day will soon
go upon the Supteme court bench,
which Is n promotion In the lino of his
experience nnd especlnl fitness, and
thnt Clint Ips Kmoiy Smith will be nd
vanced to snipped him, the re-arrangement
will give very general satisfac
tion Since the days of James G. Hlalne
no American has appeared better fitted
than Jlr. Smith to shnpe Judiciously
nnd ncceptably the enlarging destinies
now unfolding before us.
The Insurgents at Manila aro evi
dently putting Dewey's rifles to good
use. and the Insurgents at Santiago,
when they lccelvc equal means, will
exhibit equal energy. Those who under
late the Cuban rebels forget that no
man can light effectively until he gets
hold of the tools of warfare.
The pathetic fate of William F. Unr
rlty shows conclusively that the Demo
cratic party under Its present man
agement Is no place for a man who
has convictions.
Secretary Long has rheumatism, but
even ns thus handicapped he seems to
keep several laps ahead of his es
teemed contemporaiy, the secretary of
war.
The bunco game In diplomacy gen
erally recoils. For further particulars
consult de Lome. Ulaneo and Carranza,
not to mention several hundred others.
Sampson may have been a trifle
prodigal of shells, but he doubtless
wanted the enemy to realize that there
weie more where those came ftom.
Colonel Stone doubtless icallzes that
he has befoie him an excellent chance
to rise superior to his political parent
age. That Cadiz fleet evidently proceeds
upon the doctrine that
lie who keeps out of one fray
May live to lun some other day.
The glory of the American navy con
sists In the fact that every emergency
develops Its Ilobson.
That little affair at Santiago wasn't
a murker to what Ulaneo & Co. have
yet to expel lence.
Senator Quay's decision to "stand by
the piesldent like a wall" Is better fate
than rever.

Effect of the War
Urpm the Washington Post.
Till: NOTAHLi: events of theso
teeming months are not the in
spiration of party traditions or
platforms, but an awakening, a
tiansformutlun. We s,ee our
weaklier nnd realize our strength, in a
military nnd naval sense wo have sud
denly discovered that we weio at tho
mercy of any one ot the armed powers.
A sluial fioin the llritish ndmlialty
would have prevented tho victory at Ma
nila, as it could lalse tho blockades in
tho Antilles. We have seen likewise n
moral force, not In what wo could do
now. It sudd, nly summoned, but the con
hclousntss of what In tho end wo would
be able to do even against the woild.
While thus far this has served as with
the power of the heaviest artillery, wo
see that In this ago of dynamite and
pralrlo bllzauls war comes with n swift
ness so inpalllng that the highest prepa
latlon ts tho most conservative patriot
ism. Whatevot tho cost, wo must stand
ever lendy nnd nvei aimed. We cannot
again Incur the dunger through which we
ore passing, ot waging a Just war b tho
sufferance of othei pewers.
o
No! wo cannot live on sufferance. Wo
must take nm place anion? the n itlous.
The policy of Isolation Is dead. We inn
something more than a wheat-growing
and plR-feedli g country, and have Inter
ests moro vltnl than tho sending of men I
to Liverpool. Our commerce forges
uliead our flag n appears on every sca.
The skill nnd Intent ity of our workmen
enable our manufactures to ilomlnulo

Untitles and advantages rcqulio tho pro

Imperial pollrv based upon tho manifes

The nation Is one. Much neihaps too
much, la written on this obvious theme,
but It Is a i old, pregnant fact, full of
meaning and ercouragement. Tho north

animal creation of tho tusto of blood.

with wise and cautious statesman'! r
leads the waj. Howevct much he may

however nnxlous he mny bo over somu
