General Gnbln's lecognltion lias been Fomewhnt hlow In coming but It Is none the less acceptable. The people of Pennsylvania have known his worth fiom the first, ami th.it. anyhow, was the main thing. That hospital at Camp AIrci. The hospital auangements at Camp Algor ate In a disi i editable .state of inelflileniy. lion in pufect phvalcal condition aie willing to submit i heer lully to lnconenleiKes and linulships to which the.v did not look foiwaul on xnlunteeiliiK. We did not exnei t su picnie excellence of oiganizatlon dur ing the wat, but the countiy had a light to hope that hospital and medi cal an alignments would be placed under tl.o xuperv Mon of capable ntl minlMiative hands. This does not feeem to be the case at Cump AlRer. Theie Is biikoilng and jcalousj and t-hlfting of resiionslblllty among the chief and his subordinates. Chaises of mismanagement nie made against Chief Surgeon Ciliurels division hospi tal, and, as our (ouevpondent points out these have been locally substanti ated. Colonel Glrarel stands, he sas, by the letter of his milltaiy Instruc tions. Tills is all cry well, and as it should be. Hut the nation expects something more. It expect. a gencious Interpretation of the inks that aie laid down for the tatp and conveni rnce of the slcU, lulcs whlih weie made piovlsionally, nnd were not of ionise supposed to fit in with eveiy exigency that might niie. We can affoid to give, and we should give, out skit sol diers every (onitott which sciencu and moiifj can command. We mai dep recate the unjust ciitiilsms of foreign coirespondentH as muih as we please, and we Hie right In doing ho. Hut we cannot leprovo their exait criticism when and wheie wo deserve it. This Ftate of affairs at Camp Alger should be remedied without delay. Pcihaps If l'oulteney I3igelov hail it to do over again he would xvrite dif ferently. fir. D:ptv on Alliances. Chauncoy Depew had scarcely set foot on English soil when the cable carried the news to this country that he had proclaimed not merelj the pos sibility but the actuality of an Anglo. Ameilcun alliance. He was feasted and toasted to the same fiaternal sen timent In London and, if wo mistake not, In Llvetpool. Mr. Depew grew emotional as ho eloquently depleted the coming amalgamation of tho Anglo Saxon race In the bonds of national fellowship. Thero now tome strange jumorn fiom Paris that Mr. Depew has piactlcally icpudlated the senti ments which he Is said to huvo ex pi eased In London. Thero Is a mls tuko somewhere. Inconsistency Is not -me of Mr. Depevv's tra(t. He gener ally knows well xvha.t ho says so well. He does not deal In ambiguity and circumlocution. If ho believed that an Anglo-Saxon nlllance was chliiieiical, ne would have said so as leadllj in London 1b ho in recorded to have clone n Paris. Theie in no reason why he hould not. Depew has no Induce ment to tread In tho footsteps of the xlcar of Biay,;xho became all things to all men as ac.eld.ent or Interest dic tated, If heroes ijot'ljejlea in the . possibility of an Anglo-American al liance, lie has as good a right to that opinion iih to one exactly contrary. "Amctlcan hearts are not with Ung lantl. but with Franee," Tr. Depew is reported to have mlel to an Intct viewer of the Matin. Mr. Depovv could not lenlly have said so without seriously lnlsrepicentlng tho opinions of hW countrymen. Whether an alliance with 1'ngland Is possible or not, tho Ameri can people haxe no cause for gratitude towaids l'lance since our trouble with Spain arose. It was In a Parisian theater that n picture of tho Maine was xiclnusly hlxsed and two American citizens were attacked for uheeilng It. No; the heaits of the American people do not go out to Kiniice at the present moment, l'ven If It voro dinlrable that it should 1,e so, it is not a fact that It Is bo. Mr. Depew knows It. We are under the impression thut our one and only Cliaunccv is not re ported coirectly. Pet haps his Kiench has been at fault or the English of the Krench reporter. One contiemps as likely as the other. Tho Temps conlltms, how oxer, the Matin's Intel -view. Hoth pjpcis ate the mct tepu table among the newspapers of Pails The Matin was founded by the late Allen Thoindlke nice, editor nnd pio pilctor of the North American He view. The Temps Is one of the most dKiivet and philosophic Journals in rrnme. Neither of them was likely to inlflrepiesent Mr. Depew conscious ly. What Mr. Depew probably said was that a formal tteaty alliance was impossible between England and the United States, whleh of couise we all know and admit. That Amci leans bear no Ill-will to Fienchmcn as such Is equally a fact. It is notorious that the general majority of Frenchmen are absolutely Indiffeient to the pollt Unl alliance and Intrigues of their government, all they want Is to be left alone The chances are that when Di Depew arrives in New York, he will satisfactorily explain this seem ing inconsistent of his words In Paris and London. Although Mr. Depew Is inimitable in his day and generation, he Is only human. Uven Jove .some times nodded. The constables of our waids have Just nwakened fiom their long, Hip Van Winkle slumbers. Coming down fiom the mountains they haxe found, stiange to say, that a number o( saloonkeepers haxe pcimitted gambling machines on theii premises In xlolatlon of the law. What docs this iiev activ ity of vision portend ' The Future of the Army. Thus far since the war began eveiy feat of valor and every achievement of American geneiaNhip have gone to the eieillt of the nuxy. The naxy has en deaied Itself to the people to a degtee not likely to be oveicome by later gal lantiv on the part of the nimy. Its fu ture Is thereto) e doubtlef.s secure. Our il -awakened sense of maiitime pride villi see to It that the ships of our navy ps soon ap possible shall In point of n.imbers and quality beflt the Incom paiable spit it of the men who man them ilut what of the army? So far from lieinf an object of pride this branch of tl o public seivlce has been for years a .subject for popular Indifference, if not contempt. This Is shown In the fact that while congress has been steadily adding to the navy the army, until a few weeks a.jo, remained at a statlon ar point, and has been kept lecrulted up to this modest 23,000 limit only with great difficulty, deseitlons nearly al ways keeping pace w 1th enlistments. S.me the enactment of the amended Hull bill, neaily 173,000 volunteers have been reirulted In the volunteer ranks, but only about 10,000 of the expected S".,W0 icci tilts could be found willing to choose eniolment In the regular ranks, notwithstanding the law permits re tirement as soon as the war shall end. Such being the fact, It is clear that a problem will soon confiont the coun ttj of no sn.all Importance. We do not now refer to the immediate neces sities nilsing from the war with Spain; these must be met with the resources at command, there being at piesent no time available for a reorganization. Hut afteiward. when enlarged responsibili ties will impoiatlvely demand a greatly enlarged standing army, together with the skeleton organization for an emer gi n y one ot man times lurger, how shall this demand be met? Obviously not along the old lines of a lank and file held In xiitual slavery with pro motion as a rcwatd of merit practically out of the question, while the olllfers constitute a caste apait. The jegtilar army must become, as the navy ha- aluavs been, an Ameri can institution ere it will win enduring popularity among the American peo ple. If xellow fever has really bioken out In tho south, the invasion has nothing to do with it. Cuba is strictly quar nntlned. The Twelfth Census. A bill piovldlng for the taking of the twelfth census was passed In the senate on Wednesday, after a debate which occupied the gieatei part of tlueo dan. The census of tin- people of the United States Is a vast under taking and although a debate which coveied three days may seem unduly piollx on a. measure tho necessity of which nil will agree to, jet tho census Is n subject on which eveiyone believes himself capable of expressing nn opin ion or suggesting un Improvement and senators, we know, nie no more exempt from this egotistic falling than nre the ubiquitous counselors In the street. An effott was made to provide that the omplojes of the census bureau be ex amined nnd cettllled by tho civil 6ei vlco commissioners, but It failed by a large majotity. This Is unfortunate. We bellovo that tho expert statistic ians to ho entiusted with the onerous work of oiganlzlng nnd directing tho census bureau should be men chosen for their geneial ability nnd special fit ness for this particular work. It would bo an Irretrievable calamity if by one or two injudicious appointments in the higher grades of tho census lommls sloners administrative confusion or lack of accuracy should creep in vvhei bo much depends for nil that is vain able In a. national eensuB un fidelity to facts. statistical ability dot not depend upon political training or conviction, nnd men capable of undertaking and directing tho census will be found In tho ranks of both parties. An exam ination before the civil service com missioners would, however, Insure Im partiality In the choice of the candi dates, and would obviate nt the outcet those public Insinuations of Incompet ence and nepotism which do so much harm nnd cause so much delay when the real work of enumeration begins. A provision was Inserted that no more than two-thlids of the supervisors nnd enumetators should belong to one polltlcnl party. Thero can ho no ob jection to this provision on general or particular giounds. It would have been Impossible If It were In any sense desirable, which we believe It Is not, to select these subsidiary offlelals from one pnrty wholly. Nearly two years yet remnln before the twelfth enumeration of the people of the United States begins. Tho pre liminary work of organizing the cen sus Inn can Is or great Importance, and the time la none too long In which to organize It thotoughlv. The volume of printing alone to be completed within the next eighteen months is Immense. Then thero comas the work of mapping out the country Into divisions nnd sub dlvlslons whleh without confusion may be ananced into one whole, when the last name In tho last village enumer ated has been recorded piesentlng a general survey of the American peo ple In nn invaluable record of our numerical status on the threshold of tho twentieth century, Theie are some people In tho country so benighted and lgnoiaut as to Imagine that a gcncial eensus Is an Inquisitorial device of the government with some dark design at the back of It. Kven persons who might he expected to possess nn ordi nal y degree of Intelligence look on the census with suspicion, nnd cannot ac count for what they legard ns an In trusive examination of their private affairs. A general census Is of the utmost Interest nnd value when accurately taken. The census reports are, how ever, so unwleldly that few even look Into them who are not professional statisticians. If the census bureau having completed its great work In Its entirety would set apart a portion of the stnff to make popular abstracts and strike general averages fiom tho huge compilations of flguies In the census returns the expene would he no more than a chop In the bucket of general expenses and probably the sale of the publications would more than repay the outlay. These summary rec oi ds would become Immensely popular and of manifest inteicst to everyone who had In any way to deal with pub lic questions on a national basis. The ambulance ship, the Solace, Is pronounced to be an unqualified suc ccyfi This idea of a hospital trans port, fitted up with all the appoint ments of a first-class hospital, to con vey the sick and wounded from the dangers of summer In the ttoplcs, Is something of an experiment but Its advantages are constantly appealing to the medical board. The meet ap proved modern methods of surgery aie employed and out of the fifty-four men removed from Admiral Sampson's lleet since' the recent engagement. In only one case was amputation found to be necesary. The ship Is laden with delicacies furnished by private con tributions nnd organizations of women. So complete are Itrt equipments that some of the old sailors call It the "Ice cream ship," as an lee-maklng ma chine on board enables this agreeable confection to be ndded to the patients' bill of fare. The horrors of war are certainly mitigated when the wounded ani suffering aie thus made comfor table without delay, and It Is probable that this ndmirable dt Ice will be adopted In many lands. The most .ucclnct explanation of Spain's misfortunes we have yet seen Is that given by the Spanish statesman who notes that Spain spends nearly four times as much money for her priesthood as she does on her schools. Piety without knowledge Is vain. Tho Madiid newspapers nre demand ing that the responsibility for the pres ent situation be determined. That Is not so easv as it looks. In ever nar rowing circles It may he traced back from Weyler to Philip and Isabella and Columbus. Dr. Swallow's dally thunderer, The Commonwealth, Is now edited by Leo L. Grumblne, esq., of Lebanon, a veritable Boanerges of the pen. Neu) Significance Given to Flag Day The following communication In pi lut ed with gicut pleasure In responsa to a request made bv James M King, of New York on behalf of the American Flag association J I'NIJ 11 tins come to be lirgcly con sidered by tho patriotic citizens n in tnis country an i lag uaj, Vj becnuso on that day in 1, con gress enacted: "That the Hag ot tho thliteen United Slates bo thir teen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thliteen stats, white in a blue Held, representing a new consteua. tlju." tn Apill I ISIS.

Tho fl ig nun a new and expanded mean I'M. Tb Spanltli-Ameilcaii contest uf civilizations has brought the new pa triotism to the front. Hefore the war tor tho preservation of tha Union, patriotism was based upon historic revolutionary memories nnd upon elate prltlc. Since the war patriotism busnl upon iiatlonutltv haa baen slowly developing. Alteail tho cxlstlnn crlnln In the icl.ttlnn of tho lc publlc to Spain has forced to fiultlou the results of oui civil war.

With William McKlulcy In Washington and ritzhugh Leo In Hnvana, with tho com missioning In tho volunteer nimy bj tho president nnd senate of two major gener als who fought In our civil war on the Union side, and two who fought on tho Confederate s'dc, with the command of Commodore Dewey from tho decks of tho Oljmpla to "open with all guns" respond cd to by tho XUston and tho Baltimore, tho Concord and the llalelgli, we nave served notlco uron the family ot nations, that, looking this waj. they must face nn undivided nation, and not a confed eration of states. Tho ienalsiince of self- respect Is asserting Itself, and the peo ple are venturing to look up to Hod In confident supplication for the blessing that ho nlwnvs bestows upon the hearts and lives of men who dare to detend the opprcssod, though It mnv require the punishment of the oppiessor. -o In nn emergency never prophesied or dreamed, a free peoples war for human ity nnd the rights of man, caused on May 1, 1X9S, the stniry ensign of the Hepuhllc, with all It means to float over fertile Islands on the other side of the globe, fn hablted by eight millions of oppiesscd. plundered, and mWiuIcil people.

The sun of heaven now greets the stars of hope In llbcrtj's banner during every hour of every revolution of the round earth. A blow from the strong light blind of thu nation, designed to break the grasp of u cruel oppressor In an island Juat oft our coast, has tlrst paiahzed the same op pressor's hand, depilved her of her rich est colony, nnd liberated millions of her victims on the other side of the world Kinship In suffering nnd In hope makes nil th" race neighbois -o Wo earnestb exhort our cltlrens to see to it that the Stais and Stripes with all thev mean shall on June 14 lS'ii, greet the rising nnd salute the setting sun, from cverv chinch edifice school and public building, and from eveo private dwell Ing, however humble, throughout the en tiro land.

Fiom the Svtaeusc Post. rennslani.i. Itcpublleans are the fli.'t to hold h. state convention slmo war was declared.

' It sustains the administration In declaring war with Spain and calls for a vigorous prosecu tion of tho Mir to n successful conclu sion The platform icfers with lejolcing to tho brllllnnt record made by the Ameilian n cv in the present war. nnd demands that as rapldlv as possible the government shall "increase nnd build tip our nnvv so that we shall be at all time prepared to meet the necessities ol our national deft use. to protect oui merchant marine and our growing foielgn om meice, and witli the same objeit In view wo demand that the nation il govern ment shall piovlde adequate coist delense upon our ?u,bcard of the Atlantic and Pacitlc occprs." o Tho platform also declares for the con structlon of tho Nicaragua canal, "be lieving that tho present war has demon strated be ond question the imperative necessity for this canal foi purposes uf national defence and foi the development of our foreign and domestic commerce " o Tho Republicans of Pennsvlvanla. as might have been expected, reaffirm their adherence to the doctrine of protection to American Industries In their platform they saj ; "Two cars ago our mills wero closed nnd our manufacturing, turn. merclal, agricultuial and business inter ests were prostrated Todaj our mills nre open labor Is given full emplojmcnt, and a general revival of industrial activ ity promises renewed prosperity to our state." The platform nlso declnies in fa vor of tho law restricting Immigration of cheap foreign laborers "who are unwill ing and uuquallHcd to assume the duties of American citizenship, but who enter into competition with our own American working people." 0 The Republicans of other states need not hesitate to follow this declaiatlon ot principles The Issues nro nil live Issues.

Uditoi of Tho Tnbwic Sir It ha3 a Herded mo much pleasuie to read our appreciative references to tho Important question of an Anglo American alliance Such an nlllance his been the dream of my llfo and tho desire of m heart for n good many yiats. There nie. I have 10 doubt, in my hun ilieds of thousands who cherish the same ardent desire on both sides of tlm Atlan tic. If such u relationship could ho en tered Into hetween these two great Anglo Saxon uullMis without an gicat violence to the feelings of any considerable num ber of llrltish or Ana rlcan subjects I liihevo the udvantipes would bo Incal culably great Such an alliance, it strikes me, would not crly make the tonl ot consanguinity between Jonathan nnd John moro t acred but would prove a mighty factor in establishing and main taining unlverfnl peace. Such a condi tion of things would ltld n rich harvest in tho Hclds of commerce and religious enterprise. o Ono rather formidable obstacle to tho formation of such a leUtlonshlp presents Itself to me wherever I go. I found It In South Africa, I found it In Kngland nnl I am confronted with the samo obstacle here In America. Tho obstacle to which I refer Is tho political position of Ire land and the ardent dcslro of thousands of tho Irish r. ce, both In this and other lands, for Irish ficcdom. Yet I would feign hopo thut tho piesent relation of Ungland to Ireland will not prove nn ot fectlvc barrier to tho ccntuinmution of nn alliance between Cheat Ilrltain and America Personally, I should like to seo Ireland have heme rule This I have, to tho best of my nlilllt), advocated through the puss and from the plattoini for a good nunj jears.

Lieutenant Hobson's daring deed shows that n man may be a hero in manipulat ing electric wires as well as In charging over an abattls. It is u new manifesta tion of tho highest typo of nineteenth centuiy courage. There is n courago that blindly and recklessly rushes on al most to certain death. Thero is tho cour age that Intelligently and recklessly plans and executes a dlfllcult nnd technical manoeuvre In tho face of almost certain death. One was the courago of Bala clava and Pickett's chuige. Tho other Is the courago of Cashing and of Hobson. Where a man expects to elle, nnd has simply tho problem of killing us many enemies as he can before ho dies, the fierce primitive instinct of fighting nnd dating is wliut carries him through. The Anglo-Saxon In nil nges has roused him self to that daring b the last of fighting Tho rapture of the strife in all ho thinks uf or feels Hut civilisation with Its war ships where steam and electricity fight machiiio guns behind slxtccn-lnch stel walls has developed a new courage. It is the man who knows the trade ot the elec tric Inn and the seaman who could con ceive and exicuto the manoeuvro of bilnglng the Mcrrlmuc to the critical spot In the harbor s mouth, swing her nthwart tho c in rent, check her hendwuy, blow her up at the right Instant and quit her, huvlng done evcij part of the complicated task ut the necessary moment. To ac complish It Insttiutaneousl) witli the knowledge thut u shower of Maxim bul let might at any moment stop thalr work and end their lives.
