The Coming Issue.
On tho day that William J Rrjan,
addressing Nebia&ka fellow- citizens In
the uniform of a colonel of volunteers,
made public piotcs,t ogaln&t tho re
tention by the United States of any of
the tenltory occupied by It In enn
Fffiueneo of Its war with Spain, tho
Republicans of Illlnol.s. in convention
a-emhled, uolved "that the United
States should hold nil 01 the posses--n.ns

that Jt will iny the I'nlted States In
demnity for whatever cost might
have been avoided had Spain been a
humane government, and nlto that
the United States hold such posses
sions In the conquered t, nltory as hall
be advantageous to Its Interests In
times of war and pence" On tho fol
lowing day tho icpresntatlves of the
nation, In congress, by ,1 vote of more
than two tn one, decided to extend the
American Hag and Jutlsdh'tlon over
the willing island icpuullu or Hawaii,

lpfiuirinK for its intelligent cowddcra

ultimate decision shall be, we juy lest
niAured that the Ameiican people will
emerce fiom n discussion of this sub
ject riper in Judgment and more mature
Jn their views of national policy than
ever befoio. Whether they shall con
clude to take Poito Rico and the
Philippines or, of tor fieelns them, Kt
both alone, it is already certain that
they will havo taken a new measuic
of themselves and of the part which
their government is playing and la In

It is well to understand upon tho
threshold of this inevitable battle of
ideas and ideals that men may differ
In opinion no to their country's proper
destiny without losing their patriotism
or forfeiting their claim to the com
munity's good will. One anticipated
huppv consequence of a campaign
waged upon so elevated a plane will bo
the extreme difficulty with which ono
group of ndvocates can, as In a. re
cent contest, Indict their opponents as
anarchists or enemlcfl of good govern
ment, whllo the other side retorts with
frenzied appeals to the prejudices of
section and class. Fairness nnd chiv
alry In debato will ho almost an In
cfcapnble condition of an atgument

people mny profitably pay the costs of

Volunteers Gn Route.
The sixty-sit reel tilts who left
Sctantcm on Wednesday morning ar
rived in camp very much displeased
with their treatment. They had every
reason to be displeased. ..c basket of
pandu idies among sixty-sK men on a
journey which occupied the greater
part of the day was a mockery and a
delusion of a very mean kind. Some
of the men got more than their legiti
mate Khiii e, others got none at all. The
best of us manifest little discrimina
tion nnd a pool sense of honor battl
ing with the great primordial law of
nature, self preservation. It is a piti
ful spectacle to eeo good men battling
with hunger; but watching them going
foith to battle with empty stomachs
is the moM desperate spectacle of all.
A great general whose name we forget,
perhaps Napoleon, said Mimewhcre
that his commissariat won his battles.
At all events, .1 hungry army, what
ever elbe It 111.1 have in its favor. Is
easily plncd Into the hands of Its ene
mies. Tho men who left for Camp Alger
Wednesday did so actuated by no other
motives than a pliit of patilotlsm
and adventure. Both the-o motives
combine to make a good boldler. They
did not (xpect en lotite to be supplied
with the delicacies of tho season, but
they had a right to expect at least
one square meal. Thlb could havo
been quite le.idlly supplied fico
of cot to the government had It been
known by the people of this city that
the volunteeih wcie dispatched on a
long journey with a tiny schoolboy
hamper of eatables Scianton Is no

the enemy. There is really plenty of
food In the city to supply sl hundred
men with a day's l.itlons without the
least inconvenience to thoo who re
mained behind Soldiers have to put
up with n good deal in one wny or
another and silently endue It. Hunger
makes pour tauce for lighting.
Those who are unable to buy bonds

Sam.
A Step In the Right Direction.
After a prolonged deadlock In con
ference tho two houses of congress
have at last agieed upon a national
bankruptcy bill which will soon be
come a law. The measure as finally
amended pi ov Ides that an insolvent
pci son may go into the couits and an
nounce his Insolvency and that he Is
guiltless of an Intent to defiaud and
Is willing to tuin over all his propeity
to his ei editors. The court will there
upon investigate, nnd if it tlnds that
he Is guiltless of intent to defiaud.
will arrange that hi pioperty be ap
plied to the payment of his debts and
that he shall have a release fiom them.
This will enable him to begin again,
p id if he accumulates any money his
old debts cannot be brought up against
him In togard to Involuntaty bank
mptey it is provided that the creditors
of an Insolvent person can go Into the
courts, and, by making the paper
showing that he Is Insolvent, can have
him dot lined a bankiupt and his piop
ei tv applied to his debts. He will then
secure a 1 dense and go free
TI111 immedl ite value of such a law
will depend ver latgclv upon the spirit
of its enforcement Whcie the court
Is prejudiced or coirupt the ostensible
Insolvent ! likely to become a real one
oven though, if left alone, ho might
adjust his affairs moie satisfactorily
outside of couit. Rut where the court
Is fair and diligent a law as elastic
as this one is cannot hue other than
n wholesome Influence. And perhaps
this is as much as the public can ex
pect from legislation. The main thing,
after nil, Is to secure unifoimlty of
pioeeedlngs with assurance that the
honet debtor, embairasred without
deliberate fault, may have the legal
right to try to recover himself without
stigma or legislative obstacles. If the
new law In operation shall prove in
adequate or defective it can icceive
subsequent nmendinent.
Speaker Reed's convictions upon the
Hawaiian question are different trom
those of the most of us, but he Is re
spected for his couiage
The Nicaragua Canal.
That Ingenious defender of the rail
ways, Mr. Joseph Nlmmo, Jr., pait of
whose life has been devoted to oppos
ing the Nicaragua canal, still keeps up
his antagonism, despite the lessons of
thlb war. In a public letter he renews
the assertion that such a canal, If
built, would do ver.y little business. In
1SSD Mr. Nlmmo figured out to his per
sonal satisfaction that a trans-Isthmian
canal at Ore town or Panama
would not secure more than a million
and a halt of tonnage annually, in
1&50 he went over his figures and cut
off 00.000 tons. In 1SDJ he le viewed
them again and this time concluded
that the Nlcaiagua canal would be for
tunate if it could do a business of 300,
000 tons per annum. Therefote he
thinks its construction as a commer
cial pioposition would bo a waste of
money.
From the military point of view Mr.
Nlmmo opposes tho canal project be
cause Its availability for tho passago
of wnrshlus would "require tho con
struction of extensive fortifications at
either end nnd at exposed points along
tho line of the canal; also In time of
war an adcauatc military guard along
tho whole line, besides on auxiliary
naval force at cither end, In order to
prevent tho destruction of the line at
a hunched vulnerable points, nnd to
prevent the sinking of obstructions at
tho entrances to the small nrtltlclnl
harbors which It would be necessiuy
to construct at either end of tho canal."
It would bo cheaper for us, he thinks,
to run the risk of having either coast
attacked by an enemy's fleet.
We give this digest of Mr. Nlmmo'a
arguments as Illustrating tho best that
opponents of tho ranal can offer. It
will be pertclvtd that this best Is very
poor; that It rests entirely upon per
sonal conjcctuic, omits to consider tho
factor of Inevitably enlarged Oilental
trade coming as the lesult of the new
American conquests In tho far Pacific,
nnd sinks to the level of absutdlty In
Its ticatment of the mllltniy aspect of
tho pioblem. The Nicaragua canal will
be built nnd bossed bv tho United
States government within a very few
j'eurs unless those who object to such
a consummation can enter much bet
ter reasons for their attitude of oppo
sition than any which they have jet
advanced.
If the subjects of Emperor William
think that this extra tax- on tea and to
bacco In mado for tho purpose of pie
seullng the Philippines to some Euro
pean power, It is about time that Con
eul Williams, Billy Br an or some
other orator was deputized to tay
something.
At the president's request Sir Julian
Pauncefotc will not be withdrawn from
Washington ns Biltlsh ambassador
until tho clouds roll by. Sir Julian Is
tha light man in tho right place.
Unlike some of hl3 predecessors he
would be missed.
The statement that the mailnea at
Guantanamo are "becoming seasoned"
Is doubtless correct. They have been
well peppered by Spanish bushwhack
ers. As Grover Cleveland read the vote
on Hawaiian annexation he doubtless
remarked to himself that he never
did think much of congress.
It is difficult to pick out a member
of tho navy who is not a hero these
days. Opportunity Is all that Is needed
to put the stamp on them.
These are times when the public can
propei ly rejolco that It didn't confide
its executive affairs to tho keeping of a
boy president.
m
Very likely Spain's chivalrous treat
ment of Lieutenant Hobson and com
panions was an anchor cast to wind
waid. The Cuban Insurgents evidently re
semble the Deadwood fiddler In that
they are doing the best they can.
Possibly Mr. Bryan fears he would
be voted loo light a weight to preside
over a Gi eater United States.

rlns out Ficedom's sone,
Eo3 of "nlnet -eight" will sing with
lio of "glxt-one,"
Sing it as tho nation sings It sev'nty mil
lion stiong
"Bringing Liberty to Cuba."
Chorus "The Malnol Tho Mainel Tho
Jlalno shall make men treo!"
The Stars and Stripes will waft a Jubilee,
And wo'll sound the anthem from the
Rockies to the sea,
"Hrlnglns Liberty to Cuba."
Now our Yankee blood Is up we'll let tha
eaelo scream,
Onco, we fought with Grant and Leo
adown tho bloody Flream,
Now wo flcht with Miles and Lee -oh,
sa ' It's liko a dream
"Bringing Liberty to Cuba."
Sailor latU have saved tho dag, that
Moated o'er the Maine,
And with Dewey In the lead, they flung It
out ngaln;
Over In Manila Bay, they wrote the doom
of Spain,
"Bringing Liberty to Cuba."
GalnH the foes of Tiuth and Right our
forcos now aro hurled,
'Till tha tread of Freedom's hosts shall
echo round tho world.
Then will come that "Day of Peac,"
when battle flags are fulled,
'Bringing Liberty to Cuba." .
