Roth tho American and the Cuban armies have pu3hed forward with exceptional speed. Shatter's force has established a new tcvord for expeditious invasion. It is opportunely notd by a contemporary, the Klnilra Advertiser, that in the Crimean wat the allied powers were six months In selling1 troops landed after the declaration of war; Lord No pier was tho same time r. conveying' 1U.00O tn.ops 400 miles in his attack upon Mag dala. Lord M'olse,-y was two months In effecting- a landing In his Egyptian campaign and General Pcott live months In setting down l-.ooo Anieriinn trooos cm .Mexican K'dl at Vet a Cruz. The Shatter expedition has been organized nnd tiansported 1,100 miles in less than a month and the reinforcements brought from the Interior by Gutcia have trav ersed mote than 100 miles of loadkss thli lot and mountain passes by forced marches In lets than thiee weeks ?lnco the plans of General .Miles were com municated to tin) insurgent lieadciur.r leis.

While the strength of the Culi-itiu is ler that-, na.l bcc-ii repif?etUvd by the New York Cuban delegation, it is considerably In excess of ar.ny expectations, and tho deilcleriey In discipline, among Gsm-la's men setms to be tountet -balanced by tlicir personal courage, tlssir kno,l kIp.o of the country and of thu Spanish povliluii and their readiness to take hold on the American terms. This last feature should silence, the hypercritical comment which has, bten aimed at them sine" the war began by those who have eoiningly bout bent upon perverting the war's purpose Tollcy no less th.wi Justice urges tlint tlie insurgents should be given every fair opportunity to show what they can do; and hasty condem nation in advance, founded on Ignor ance of the teal coiidillcns Iti Cuba, is unworthy of tin sentiment wnlch tuused and actuates this war for Cu ban liberation.

No one doubts that victory will be won by the allied fortes in course of time; but It will no, bo until there has been long, hard nml dcspeiato (iehtlng. not without serious losses and perhaps not without serious reverses as well.

At about the same hour. In Law renctnlllp, N. J., nit ex-piesident of the I'nlied States, In an oration upon "American Citizenship," arrayed him self alongside tho man who succeeded him In tho leadership of the Demo cratic paily against "all schemes of fotelgn conriuest," which he denounced In carefully measured words as "mon archical hazards." and "dangerous perversions of our national mission." The coming together of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. itryan upon a platform of opnoltlon to territorial expansion Is sutllc lently significant to suggest the possibility of an early reunion of the Democracy. The drift of events is clearly In this direction. As between tho extreme positions in dicated in the perfervid rhetoilc of General Grnsvenor and the sullen con servatism of Mr. Cleveland tho mas of intelligent Americans, we suspect, will for a time at least declare neu trality. Coii(Uest for the sake of con nuest; land grabbing for the; sake of empire; tho spirit of wild adventure sharpened by an appetite for spoils, is ns foreign to the best sentiment of this country us is the opposite doctrine of political and moral lethargy. Neither could set a coiporal's guard of Intel ligent voters to suppoit It at the polls. But while it is true that the sen sible three-fifths of our population have not been stampeded Into a programme of seizure and loot it is also true that they are keenly alive to their moral responsibilities growing out of this war for humanity; that, having discovered In Spnln characteristics of greed and cruelty which make it Impossible for them to remit to 'Spanish jurisdiction any territory wrested from Spain by unr, they are determined to put for ward wherever they can the Interests of civilization; and that if this can be done moie easily and more certainly by the adaption of a colonial policy looking to the establishment in the conquered dependencies of stable and Immune government under American initiative and protection, they stand ready to accept this responsibility rather than see the purpose of the war fall of thorough accomplishment. On this ground Itepubllcanlsin plants its banner and invites attack. One of the Yankee devices tc bo put in trial at Santiago Is a tilled mortar that nlll, it is predicted, give double the range and accuracy of lire. If this hope is realised thote will be another revolution in method's of warfare. Hut Americans wouldn't foel at case if they were not causing- that. Wltm "-s tho Vesuvius ati'l the Holland &u marine torpedo boat The Progress of the War. W'e hae been at war with Spain two months and two day. The time is suillr lently Ions to take stock of our achievements and find out Just how v.p stand. When wo entered upon this struggle- giiie fears hud atlsen in the popular mind that we were not as well prepared as wo should be for such an emergency, and the popular apprehen sion, as it always Is, was right. Tho licet tins In a tolerably fair condition to meet tho available naval strength of n, mndcratel) strong naval power, but we eould scarcely have foreseen that the- Spanish fleet would turn out to be such a despicable antagonist In commanders, men, and ships, Dewey's victoiy at Manila and the bottling up of Pervert' at Santiago delivered tho Spanish Philistines Into our power, hound hand and foot. The wur has practically resolved itself Into tho In vasion of Cuba and the administration of the Philippine;!. Sixteen thousand of our troops are lyliiU olf Santiago preparing to land. To mobilize from widely separated tor ilorles, such as our stales, to pattlally turn, to equip In every way for a pro longed campaign In a tropical country, a body of troops sixteen thousand strong in the. time in which it has been nccoinpllt-hed if not unparalleled In modin military achievements is really a very respectable performance and deserving of the highest praise. We do not say that the organization of our men was perfect. Uy no means. There were Irritating delays and counter pur poses at work In the war depannitnt that should not have heen. Uut no human institution Is pert -ei. When we trv to realize an Ideal of perfect automatic mobilization of troops mili tary students take tho German army pn the eve of the Franco-German war. Yet wo aie apt to forget. In our admir ation of thli. great achievement, that the German authorities had foreseen this war for many years buforo and that all the resources of the empire had for some time before been con centrated in that supreme effort. The administration at Washington up to the last moment believed thut an hop. ornble stUleinent could bo negotiated with Spain and our preparations wont on under th happy.go-lucky hope thut war would somehow be avorted. In addition to the successful dli- patch of 1C.000 men to Sanlrtigo, soon tu bo followed by several thousand re Inforcementn, we have put In motion toward Manila another army, still larger, one-half of which Is already nit the high seas and the remainder ready to embark as soon as it sulllclent num ber of transports shall have been sc ented. The first detachment of Dewey's reinforcements Is probably even now nt .Manila;, and tho ticcoml not far from Honolulu. In the meantime, a regular atiny of .nuo men has been expanded to nearly to.000 nnd two great volun teer armies of i::.,O00 nnd 7",000 men respectively have boon called into be ing nnd well -nigh equipped'. Of the many comforting nspecls of the war tu the American people, per haps In none may wo take more legiti mate pride than In the ready and tho easy initiation of men and boys, fresh from the Held, factory, counter, desk or even school room Into the routine and dl&clpllne of camp life. They have proved themselves apt pupils In learn ing the trade of wur. The country has In a bilcf time obtained neatly all the men It required for the regular as well as for the volunteer nnny despite the standard of almost physical perfection demanded. Tim military spirit hus shown that it exists unabated in this country. The traditions of tho Civil war are fresh In the memory of this generation while Its veteran surviv ors form picturesque and ubiquitous groups In almost every town and city. Even the veterans of the Confederacy, those gallant hurvlvors of misguided valor, have joined in the pattlotle im pulse anil are as boys again. During these two months of war. while con quering all we have undortaken to con quer, we have not lost nioro than a score of men alt told. Tills is a fact unparalleled irr the history of the world. So far ns the American forces In the present conflict with Spain lire concerned, this ma) very properly be called a young man's war. It is doubtful If ever be fore this country, or perhaps any other, has sent so many young men to tho trout. It Is said on authority tli.it tho avenge ago of tho volunteer who have enlisted to carry arms in defense of tho TnlteU Stales Is 21 years.- tttlca Herald. The young men of America who cur. vive this service will come home Im measurably better citizens than ever before, with ideas and sympathies broadened and matured: and the young men who polish In battle or Irr hospital will leave to their compatriots the in valuable legacy of a noble memory. Fir tlie welfare of the country w would not have it otherwise. A Fteneh ehemlst has discovered tho microbe that causes baldness, but has been unable as yet te discover the cure. The efforts of good people therefore w ill have to be devoted for a time, at least, to tlie correction of the evil pro pensities, theatrical and otherwise, that follow baldness. Queen Itcgont Christina lias already engaged board at Vienna and has sent a trunk full of valuables In rt.'.vanco. This refutes any presumption that Christina does not read the mlletln beau's. Tho Pittsburg Dispatch insistently urges a joint European and American protectorate ovor tho Philippines. The Dispatch, It would appear, is not fa miliar with tr.e history of Samoa. If Colonel P.ryan goes with Lee Into tho enemy's country ho must expect to do more fighting than talking. Leo, It is believed, has blood in iris eye. In order to please Congressman Car niack, it might be well to leave Tennes see out of any proposed alliances with European, nations. Joe heller's name no lonsor appears in display tjpo in the Chicago papers. Alas! how soon are the great fcrgot-U-n: Don t expect tho impossible at San tiago. If Phaflt-r gets through there in a month he will do well. All things considered, the p.-.tlpolse of General Aguinaldo's head Is remark able. Efforts to break Mr. Hanna's trocha about Ohio appear to have been futile Blanco will probably wave tho next flag of truce. Uncle Sam's Credit t Was Neuer Beffer Frank Lee In Times-Herald.

Some other pcoplu are Irot so particular, and this Is tho reason that thcro aro so tew nations that can bor row money at par. . Spanish 4s sell ns low ns 3.1V because tho Investor is uncer tain whether ho will ever get Ills money. During tho last sixty years Spain spent JI.'.W.ueAooo more thuti her receipts, ami a good part of tins has been other people's money. Had It not been for repudiation! her debt would now bo f:!.SM,00O.nOO, hi stent! of )l,s:i.au,to. lu 1U0, ntter Iho Ciuilst war, queen Isabella repudiated tho debt, compelling tho bondholders to tnko new scrip for old at tho rato of 10 per 100. In ISij, under Alfonso XII, thero was a second repudiation, when bond holders wero forced to accept new bonds nt tho rato of 40 per loo. That Is tho way Spain has pnld her debts. Contrast till with tho United States during President Harrison's administration, when wo nc tually paid out $1,"i,(kvi,ooo in premiums In order to Induce bondholders to surrender llielr bonds, and $.'3o,000,000 was spent for bond redemption lu excess of tlie mi nimi sinking fund requirement. The truth Is that It Pi.elo Sam weio not in such a huriy to pay Ills debts he could borrow money at better prices. Tho Eng Ilsh bonds that bring belter prices owe that to the fnct that they are an Indoll nlto loan, while tho Investor lu the rutted SlatcB may bo forced to tako back the money ho bus advanced nt the end ot a short period ten years In the case of tho present tissue. , o Tlia Full 'd Slates is the wealthiest nation In tho world. This Is a fact that Is often n pouted, but because of the nat ural disposition of tho American people to beliitlc themselves, which has ntiuuu by a kind of reaction from tho old dispo sition to brag and bltotor. It seems to be universally forgotten, 'lie gie.it English statistician, Mulhull. has compiled tables showing the wealth of tho nations of tho woild In f., as follows fpounds being converted Into dollars at tho tntc of $3 pu pound): United States Great Hrlluln France Germany ltussia Austria Italy Spain JM.7.V1.00C 000 r.n.niu.oiio.ooo .17,9.V),00O,000 4o,;i;o,oi)0,ooo JC, 123, 000 J'K) 22,Ecjn,iifiO,ooo J,Sno,niiijiKi 11,1)00,000, mo These figures Include everything, such ns lurnis, rall.vajs, holises and merchandise. When annual earnings of tho peoplo are taken into ccnsldeialion and this Is the real security behind a public debt the lend of the United States is even gi eater. The earning' of our nation aie not tar from one-half as gieat as those of all Enrona combined, the figures being 37. 710,fjjii.0fl0 for all Europe (Including Asiatic Itusl.i) and 13,;i0,o00.000 tor the United States. Tho comparative figures for the principal nations are as follows: United States J13,3f0.0O0.003 Great lirltaln 7,11.1.OOO.00O Germany 0, lOJ.OOJ.OOO Franco .VJft",OiM,tK Itussla 3.020.000,000 Austria 3,ES,u0n,00O Italy LUSO.nnO.OOO Spain 1303,000,000 o A comparison of these figures which should bo known to Spanish statesmen must be iufllclent to convince anyone of the futility of Spain's lighting the United States. Tlie contrast shows the cer tainty of American success, and It Is more certain In view of the fact that Spain Is practically bankrupt. For a nation tint has a capital of JS1.730.00O.CkX1 and whose people earn Xt5.3S0,iKl,iKirt a year the ex penditure of $1,010,000 a day Is a mere bag atelle and could be kept up for ye ns without injury to the country. On the other hand, the earnings of Spain's peo ple are less than a tenth as much, and In any prolonged contest she must be certain to be the sufferer. In view of these facts It would seem almost certain that Spain will come out of the war m 'ie bankrupt than ever, with the whole na tion Impoverished, while every day the war Is prolonged will but mid to th' Impoverishment. On the other hnnd, th" war will show the world, as nothing else eould. bow practliully imxhaustihle are the resources of the United States. SUCCESS OF THE NEW LOAN. From the Philadelphia Times The government has offered $200,000,000 of the new loan for popular subscription nnd made every postofllce and depository ot the government an agent for tho sale of tho bonds. They aio issued as low as S2U, and tho rcspinsu of tho peoplo m every section of tho country warrants tho belief that befoic the nth of July much moro than tho $-!'jfl,0uO.O0O offered will bo taken entirely by subscriptions not exceeding $3o0 each. The government already holds propositions tor nioro than double and probably quadruple tho entire WW.Oiw.uw. Ono syndicate of bankers has filed ..n offer to take the entire amount, but It Is now evident that the whole sum offered will bo absorbed by small sub scilptlons and thus b" very generally dif fused among tho masses of the people. o So popular Is this new loan that It Is likely to bo ottered to the public through various business channels outside of postmasters and fln.tnciul olhclnls of tho government. President L. C. Weir, of the Vilnius Express company, promptly offered to the government the service of lt complete sjsteni of agents through out tho country to offer the loan to tin public without charge, and thu govern ment gave a re.i.dy til-sent. Tlie. patriae record made by the Adams Express com pany during tho civil war is still cher ished in gratetol remembrance. It the i rendered a much greater service than it can give now, only for the reason that the Bovftrmint is not now greatly Pi need of such i-erviee, but It was surely In wanr of just tho nil! that tlie Adams Express company ciuld glvo it m tlie trying times ot the rebellion. It has al ready furntii.cd all Its various others from one end ot the country to tho other ilie blank forms of applications for bonds and explanatory circulars, and us tho ser vice costs nothing to cither the govern merit or subscribers to tho bonds, tho patrlotlo and gererous spirit of the com pany will bo universally appreciated. o It should be rcn-.cmbcicd that all sub scriptions of yjtO and less arc received as absolute, and tho bonds will ho delivered as soon nit ls,ucd. if a larger sum than $200,00u.00u shall bo subscribed In cumi not om ceding $300, tho sub.ciiptlons will bo tilled in tho older In which they shall bo received. It Is important, therefore, that thoso who are anxlctis to obtuin tho bonds In sums not exceeding $300 should send their subscriptions as promptly as possible. Where they nro received by an ngent of tho government, whether u post master or business man, or corporation, tho date of tho subscription will bo tho date of its filing with tho ngent, If tho whole loan shall not bo subscribed 'n .urns of $300 or lots, tho remainder will bo given to the larger subscribers pro rata. o Tho contrast between tho credit of tilft government nt this time end Its credit when civil vvnr eamo upon us in IVil, Is most Impressive, Tho first popular loan attempted in Ui'l was for $30,000,000 bear ing 7 3-10 Interest, nnd It was with iho greatest dllllculty that the bonds could bo disposed of. They wero many times bought on tho market nt less than their par value. Today the government has authorized subscriptions for $JO0,000.0'O with $200,'kj0.0ii0 moro In reserve, beating Interest nt :i per cent., much loss than half tho Interest ol'feied In IS.il, and this loan will bo ovcrsuh'-cilbeel In sums cf $300 or less, nnd will command a consld erublo premium on the market the day they aro Itemed to tho subscribers. Tha stability of tho government li falthfu.ly reflected In the stability of its credit, nml It must now bo evident to tho whole world that til people of the United States m!.m to maintain their government, and are GOLDSMI nn Great Jiirae Of MusMn Under r- J9c.
