The Philadelphia Ledger expresses he opinion with reference to the con vention called to assemble In this city Juno 2S to consider measures for bene fiting the anthracite coal trade that this is "u hopeless undertaking for niu who nre not In control of the trade." That will depend upon what this convention undertakes. If it shall go no further than to appoint n com mittee to wait upon tho presidents of thf conl roads with n petition for more equitable freight rates it will, indeed, undertake what past experience con vincingly touches Is hopeless. But if it shall decide to lend Its utmost oo.oporatiim to the project of a new mil outlet for coal under the control o tho men who mine the coal thPii it will facilitate an undertaking founded mi common sense and busi ness sauiii lly. Sin h n rum would as Mtro honest chaises for haulage to ti'lewntHf and enable nnllinuite to compete with bituminous In I he east- orn market. This would remove the one gtent handicap now reeling upon this region and bring the trade in an thracite hack to its proper place in tr commerce of tho period. Now it Is simply a football which is kicked about to suit the whims uf speculators In railway securities. The anthracite situation Is iindoubt rdly bad but It Is not hopeless. Hard conl U too fine a fuel to be supplanted by the sooty soft article In any local ity where It can compete with tho bltum'lnnus in price. Vrido the dls crimination in railway charges which advances the dirtier fuel at the ex pense of the cleaner and American Rood tasto will do the rest. General Agulnaldn evidently pro. poses to have the Ico of the campaign broken before the American troops ar rive at Manila. Secretary AlRer's Defence. A public statement has been made by Secretary Alger In reply to the criticisms which have been aimed nt the war department. This otatement contains many facts of Interest. Jlost important of all Is the secretary's Im plied admission that when, on April 21. congress declared war, the country was In absolutely no condition what ever for war, but bus had to nmke nearly all Its important pitparatluns since that date. Since then it has hired, purchased or contracted for millions of cartridges and small arms, thousands of cannon and gun carriages, mines, torpedoes, shells, etc., tons upon tons of powder and projectiles, cars and ships to carry the quarter of a million men suddenly tailed Into the military service, twelve solid miles of cars loaded with pro visions, and among thousands of other things the following quartermasters' supplies: 8,810 cavalry horses, 12,502 draft mules, 2,103 pack mules. 600 small mules, 1,600 small horses, 4,000 wagons, 425 ambulances, 1T.052 Mngle harnesses, 1,600 baddies and bridles, 1,407 pad: addles, 3,100 halters, 4,160 artillery horses and 544 draft horses for elege v i ti'iIfii7 f T Titirniwi M1 Jill trains, 106,382 blankets, 123,12 blouses, 25,739 canvas coats and trousers, f3, f.SO canton flannel drawers, 12.1,905 summer drawers, 121,709 campaign hats, 22.930 canvas hats, 92.SSI legglns, 105, 2R7 ponchos, 150,'S." flannel shirts, 192, t'.ofi lenther shoes, 300,399 cotton stock ings, 21,270 woollen stockings, 24,R.".0 hammocks, s,12."i helmets, :i,R20 mos quito bars, 2,000 head nets, 6,006 com mon tente, 141,362 shelter halves, 3,362 wall tents and 1,230 conical t.nts. The secretary contends that those who know how great and sudden was the but den put by congress upon the war dcpailment tin not criticize but marvel at tho phenomonnl progress made, and wo dare say ho iti right. it Is a habit In this country to criti cize quickly nnd freely, but the habit, If sometimes vexatious and unfair to olllclals dolr.g their level best. Is cer tainly proof of the public's eager Inter est In public affairs and indicative of a high standard of popular desire ami expectation. The American people sel dom lemuln Ions In mistake: and If quick to criticize they are equally ready to commend or to correct their own unintentional Injustices, With thp actual Invasion of Cuba, Cape llnytlen will fall Into that state of obscurity from which it suddenly emerged through the lierctiknn efforts of some notorious liar who took up his residence there, bewildering tho coun try by false alarms and fabricated rumors. The Hnttlc of Ouantanamo. T1k results of the battle fought at Guuntanamo on Sunday rimming ap pear to be the defeat of the Spaniards with unknown but considerable loss, tb" k.llins of four of our men and the wounding of one In an encounter that lasted marly fourteen hours. This skir mish opens the most serious business ot thu war. We have already practi cally overthrown the Spanish licet. With C'ervea bottled up In Santiago nnd the so-tailed Cadla fleet nowhere In particular, our troops will be landed In Cuba without ser ious opposition, and henccfoith we may expect the opetallons ot the war to be can led on in the fiel'l. Of course the Meet will not be Inactive. Not to speak of Santiago, there remains thf dismantling of the forts and bat tel Irs around Havana, no small uni'er taklng considering the opportunities the Spaniards have hud to strengthen them. Kven tho Cadiz fleet may yet put in a belated appearance. The Spaniards do the most ludicrous things Imaginable when hntd pushed. One of the most satisfactory features of the Guantananio engagement wan that theie seemed to be no hitch In the material arrangements. Of the nerve and steadiness of the officer and men of the marine corps which drew such high encomium:! from Col onel Huntington, it was such ns might be expected from Ameilcan soldiers. In darkness and !n a strange land with a concealed enemy before them and the sen b-hind thm, they fought as coolly ns they fought courageously. Old Glory Is now raised on Cuban soil; there for the present It at any rate re mains. It must hae been u plctur esqu as well ns a glorious sight t have witnessed the engagement on Sun day morning with the Spaniards under fierce lights from the ships In tho har bor s-eeklng shelter heller skelter among the cactus shrub like startled rabbits in the gray dawn of the morn ing. War Is nlwuvs cruel, and rarely picturesque: but here are certain phases of It which compel our admir ation. Colonel Camplna, the Cuban guide, said the Spaniards were mostly gueril las, lie ought to know. Hut whether guerillas or regular trooi.s, they wen5, it would appeir, not well illtectt-d. This signifies for our land fotces hereafter an Immense advantage. Tho opera tions of the Spaniards in Cuba in deal ing with tho instil sonts have been con spicuous for lack of leadership. They were Imperfect or mistaken at almost every point. Tlieie is no doubt that the strength of the insurgents has been overestimated. They nie Ill-fed and have barely a rag of clothing. Tint they know the country; they know the tac tics which the Spanish pursue; and so far as their numbers admit, we can safely match against Spanish guerillas the Cuban Insurgents, wlin it comes to a fierce determination to die for vic tory. Our first buttl on Cuban soli for Cubhn liberty has b"en fought and won with every oircumstunco of valor and good generalnhlp attending our arms. - A contraband trade in silver coin has been discovered nt JIadrld. Who ever heard ot a contraband trade In gold coin? Hngland's Old Nobility. "Let wealth nnd commerce decay, but spare us our old nobility." This poe tic effusion roads like a strophe tuken from the album ot one of th" Indies of the court of l.ouls XIV., so feudal Is it In Its aspiration and so imdtae.tl In Its setting, it is noth lug of tho kind, however. It was writ ten In all sincerity by a gentleman who In his youth was known as Lord John Manners, but who some few years ago succeeded to the title and estates of th? Duke ot Hertford and is now alive nnd hearty. Whatever compen sation the people of England may have felt fifty yean, ago In the retention of their old nobility after tho decadence of the country's wealth and commerce, It would hardly afford them the same consolation now. Theie Is a bluek sheep In very Cock, It is true; but the English nobilltv are now so plbald that their ancestors would not know them. J A few instances of the evil ways and evil days on which the Engll.dr nobility has fallen quite recently will explnln what we mean. Less than two months ago Eord William Neville was sen tenced to five years' pun a I servitude for forgery, l.urd Clnnuwck having married a music hall slucer winds up In the bankruptcy court without a shilling to his crocMt. Tho earl of Anneslay. who squandered, ns he himself r.dmlts, his patrimony on gambling, horse racing, and liv ing beyond his means Is open to an engagement on the sstuge. He Is not yet thirty, Tho Earl of ArWbury died a pauper, or as he himself puts it; "I would bo very glad now to cat a limb of thu fowl which. I once would not have thrown to my dog." He owned on, of the finest estates In England. Lord St. Leonards Is a fugitive from Justice; so Is nnotticr lord, tho pon of a duke, whoso namo and whose crlmu are allko uutiientlonnble. It Is needless to prolong the list. On Friday In the London bankruptcy court Sir llobert Peel was posted n a defaulter to tho tuno of $i,35:l,o;o. This voting ritlllnn Is a grandson of the great Sir Hobert Peel, the author of the repeal of the Corn Laws, which allowed our wheat to enter Urlllfh pcrts free forty years ago. 'ioung i'eel came very near mar rying an American heiress a few years ago. Fortunately for the girl the en gagement wna broken of:' on udvices from London. W are far from Insinuating that the American girl who hnvo sought hus bands in titled Englishman or who have been sought, by Engllh noble men have been deceived or disappoint ed. There may bo, of course, a few such Instances. On the whole, however, such marriages have turned out toler ably commonplace, which Is ar much as can be expected In nlllances based more or less on mercenary motives. Neither must It be forgotten that there Is a new as well ns an old nobilltv. There sit In the House of Lords men ns Illustrious in science ns Lcrd Kel vin nnd Lord Halclgh; In surgery ns Lord Lister, the discoverer of the anti septic treatment of wounds, one of the greatest hon-faetors of the human race since Jenner; in law as Lord Ilussell of Kllowen; In military nftnlrs as Lord Wolseley ard Lord Itnberts- In art as the late Lord Lolghton; In literature as the late Lord Tennyson. Hut thete are five hundred other lords besides, hereditary peers, front whom scoun drels of nny type may be selwtcd. Those Americans who condemn their own Institutions must at least admit that the "American House of Lords" Is yet upon the while superior In char acter, ability and usefulness to tho British chamber of peers. The report that the Democrats of Pennsylvania are likely to nominate as their candidate for secretary of In ternal affuirs Captain P. DeLacey of this city will be agreeable news to the captain's numeri-us friends. A braw soldier who in service earned a medal of honor, an upright citizen and not an ollice-seeker, Captain DeLacey would bring to the Democratic ticket many unique elements of strength. Of all the convenient and conven tional habits of civilized life perhaps bathing In weather like this is most heartily to be commended. Hut like every other good thing In life bathing has its drawbacks. The drowning season has begun early, and there Is every Indication that It will be a pro tracted one. The Dally Mall says that Germany is determined to pi event a bombard ment of Manila. The war lord of Ger many has been credited with so many Intentions that It Is perhaps ns well to await his expressed resolution through some other channel. Our first taste of Spanish chivalry In land warfaie corroborates the char acteristics exhibited in the destruction of the Maine. Having killed four American marines In a bushwhackers' ambush they mutilated the corpses. Foreign grain buyers will please re member that in addition to millions of bushels of whent we have oats to spare. The oat crop is also among the most promising this year. TOLD BY THE STARS.

Growth of Export Trade THE farmers of the United States are drawing upon other parts of tho world lor more mom y in the fiscal year which ends wifj this month than in any ;,ro;edliiat year n tho history of the country. Even the high water rnnik of ls!2, when our exports of ogil'Ultiual products amount ed to $rM,3:'S.2S;', will bp surpassed by the record of the jear which close with this month.

From tho Chicago Times-Herald. In his utterances before the Pacific Villon club at San Francisco with refer ence to what he called "tho new national policy of the Culled States," General Mcrrltt gave expression to his own per sonal sentiments ns an American citizen. He did not speak In nny representative capacity so far ns the sovernmmit nt Washington Is concerned. It Is signifi cant, however, that the man who has been sent by tho administration to be governor general of the Philippines should, on the eve of his departure for his post of duty, proclaim his adherence to "a new national policy of the United States, which looks to acquisition of ad ditional territory represented In outlying Islands that are requisite for the develop ment of national strength and growth." o Moreover. It would be useless to deny the fact that In this bold utterance Gen eral Merritt expressed tho dominant American sentiment at this time. A war which had Its Inception in a desire to ndvnnce the Interests of humanity and civilization has become, through the nec essary Incidents In Its successful conduct, a war of conquest. Trie acquirement of outlying Islands has become essential to the attainment of tho direct obiect of the war the expulsion of Spanish tyran ny nnd oppression fiom Cuba, A war for humanity has become a war of con quest, and this war of conquest forces upon us a "new national policy." His torical traditions are shattered by the unavoidable exigencies of n war which was Inaugurated, not to acquire territory hut to restore peaceable government and order to nn Island lying near our shores, which has been pillaged by Spanish cruel ty and mlsgovernmpiit. o Wo cannot escape the logical conclu sions of the conflict. There Is no reason for believing that the administration de sires to escape them now. On the con trary. It has pushed forward with all possible sliced the military movements made necessary by a conflict tb.it has developed Into a war nt conquest. Our Hag must be kept over the Philippines. Tho president will keep It there If he has to call for another hundred thousand vol unteers to re-enforce Mertltt and Dewey. If the stars and stripes are planted on Porto Rico, the Carolines, the Ladrones, the Canary Islands, or upon every Island In the entire archipelago, from the Mar shall to tho Philippines. It will be backed up by American military force and naval valor. o This Is the "new national policy" forced upon us by a war which was not under taken to acquire territory but to give to struggling Cubans a free government. Having acquired outlying Islands, as an Incident of war, the new twentieth cen tury national policy may demand that we retain them as necessary to "tho de velopment of national strength und growth." IMPERIAL AMERICA. From the Independent. It Is ns plain now that we must hold on to the Philippines as It was that we had to smash tho Spanish fleet there. Manila Is our only point for offensive or defensive work In this war beyond California. A nation that would glvo back the Philippines to Spain would hand back to u tiger thp little lamb wrested from Its grasp. Nor can wo turn over the Plilllpnlucs to nny land other than Spain without endangering the balances which keep Europe at peace. We must hold the Philippines. Either to confine this war between those waging it or to rnnke our victory benign or the peace permanent, tho Philippines we must hold. The samo Is true, nnd for the samo reasons, both of Cuba and Porlo Hlco. What we gain In the cause ot humanity we must control In the namo of civilization. o A further duty Is Imposed. Hctween our Asiatic possessions and our West Indian, the Nlcaraguan canal must fur nish unbroken water course. Otherwise the balance of gain between our old states on the East and our new states on the West. In u war In which both sections bear equal burdens nnd win equal honors, would be lmpalied. No one part of our Colon should be built up at the expense of another part. The Nlc araguan canal is the- Insurance of equality of gnlu by commerce to our At lantic nnd to our Pacific coasts. It will bind our Cnlon by tho sympathies of equal sp.is as truly as our transcontinen tal railroads have bound It by the cords of equal states. He who sees not this ees loo little. If his exclusive Interest In the railroads blinds him to the neces sity of holding the canal and to tho ne ceshlty of holding the Islands which wo get by force of right nnd by right of force, his views should bo discounted where th warping reasons for them are understood. Imperial America imperial In the mag nitude of Us expansion nnd In the moral grandeur of Us-mission is not an Idea to appall the descendants of men who car ried our domain by successive acquisi tions, nnd some of them by war, from the Potomac to the Ohio, Horn the Ohio to the Mlntlsfclppl, from the Gulf to the Lakes, sud from the Klo Grande to either Portland. Every such acquisition has lifted our nation from congested com mercialism to the niHenturoiis patrioti-m of taking occasion by the hand to make tho hounds of freedom broader yet. Stagnation Is the letter that kllleth; ex panslon Is the spirit tb.it nmketh and keepeth alive, (j. nothing of which wo nre not uslmmed need we bo afraid, nor need wo fear Its consequences. Neither the carer'4 of our country In tho past, nor I's iiiuse In the present, nor Its nn . accomplished mission In the future should give to us any reason for shmno or for fear; nnd the voices of the world which call us to duty nnd to destiny, In the regeneration of that world, should lie answered by the readiness and by the rriJolullon of our own hearts.
