We suspect that the biggest share ot tho credit for the Santiago victory be longs to thp leal military commander of the American forces and the man who grows under oveiy emergency, lion. William McKinley. Incomparable. Santiago's lall was a victory of war, but on the same day a vlctoty of peace was consummated, by far the greater of the two. The nation had offered for sale $200, 000,000 In coin bonds, "coin" meaning gold. Bids for this Issue were received aggregating $1,200,000,000 nnd the whole amount will he taken by Indiv idual Subscribers In sums below $10, 000.

The spectacle presented by the vic torious force nt nntlign agreeing to letuin the vanquished to home terri tory is, we believe without paiallel in the annals of wnifaie, but the ning nanlniltv of it Is in keeping with the Immanltniinr Impulse which prompted tills nation ti. so to vvai. The Srtan l.Oi army ha pioved Its valor beyond question. The men In It, conscripted mming the pooi and Ipnor.tnt peasantry uf Spain have perfmnied the dutv put upon them b Imbecile inleis with a foititudu nnd a patlt-nco entitling them, notwithstanding theli fnults, to the world's admhatlou. Nothing was to hi gained by dooming these Innocent Ic tln.s of Spanish mal-admlnlstration to useless cnptlvity because of ci lines committed uv their supetlois In authoi. Itv: but on the othoi hand, much was to be gained bv giving Indubitable pi oof te. the world that the American tlnin- to humrne motive Is nut a hypo oiltlnl pretence. After this wholesale nxhlMtlnn of rlemoncy n-j foreign ob server who is honest in opinion can In suit Ameihan honor by strMuro or re lief lion. 1'y one movn the American Koveinment ins disarmed leputabl" ciitlclsm. The moral eifcct of this unprecedent ed step upon Spain Itself should he considerable It will show to the mass es' of the Spanish people, upon whom the buiden of Spain's foolish course has tested heavily nnd bitterly, that the antagonist with whom Spain has to deal, while inMnxIblc ut Its declared In tentions, is not the sordid and cruel enemy that It has been pictured to them, but Is as chlvnlious to the van tiulbhed as was ever any foe. The hated Amrilcun "pis"." tho avaricious nnd covetous yankees, who are n shop-Keeping people without Insplia tl"n or honor, will Le revealed to them In a light utterly now to their deceived conceptions, nnd In homes wheie for many years only grief has found lodg ment because of tho military abduc tion of futheis and brothcis and sons, Joy will once more ptcvp.ll in the ap proaching re-union, thanks ulcno to yankeo grace. If this does not en lighten there misgoverned unfortunates nnd lead to Internal improvement In Kpal'i Itself tho fault will not be with the nuthoiltlcs nt Washington Thpy, at least, will have tnown rluuHy, pity and gcneioslty. As for the men high in command In Spain, whose fatuous Matt.Mnutishlp nnd mediaeval understanding imve brought the oncc-pioud Iberian em pire to eueli an ebb that Its navy Is prone and Its land force become nn ob. Jfrt of International pity, we tan think of no robuke better ltted to the dlmtn felons of their Incapacity. If they Imvfl Ju them a paitlcle of common senso they will now forestall additional hu miliation by ii prompt nnd nn uncondi tional surrender. More Is to be gained by Appeal to American magnanimity tl.nn by persistence In hopeless ob struction. ... i i.i Tho ITnltcd Stales does not seek ttoublo with tlcrmnny nnd It believes the great masses of the German peo ple have only the kindliest feelings for It. But If the Germnn Kaiser wants to keep the pcaco he must Instantly give orders to his navat olllcers In the Philippines to keen their ships out of our way. Otherwise these ships will go down. SclilcgP&son. Public Interest fif tlic question of the relative claims of Schley and Samp son to credit for tho sea, victory at Santiago continues. We have rc celved a number of Inquiries bearing on the subject, Ono correspondent nsks where Sampson was when Schley bottled Cervcra up. By all accounts at the time ho was In the vicinity of Havana. He went to Santiago nnd superseded Schley only after Schley hnd caught the game. Another cot respondent asks how far Sampson w-as from the scene of the right when Cer vera sailed out and was annihilated. The despatches say ten miles. He ar rived on tho sceno of action In time only to fire n. few shots at tho last Spanish 'vessel, the Chrlstobal Colon. It Is also asserted that ho refused to permit Schley to receive the Colon's surrender, notwithstanding that It was Schley who prevented tho Colon's es cape. The truth or falsity of this as sertion will doubtless be determined In due time. It Is no more than Justice to Ad miral Sampson to say that the public feeling which has been aroused over these unwelcome reports is one less of personal hostility to himself than of dissatisfaction over the belief that In Sampson's assignment to tho su premo command an Intentional Injus tice vvas done to Schley which the de partment nt Washington has not seemed in tho least anxious to repent. Sampson when Jumped over Schley's head was only a captain who had never before had command of a fleet Schley, on tho other hand, vvas n com modore with a brilliant record as a fleet commander and as a man of cour age and spunk He had Incurred dis favor at Washington by being quick at Valparaiso, Chile, to resent Indig nity to tho American flag. On that occasion, instead of trusting to long winded diplomacy ho had unslung his guns and prepared for Immediate busi ness a circumstance which Jiealjhy Americanism puts to his credit but which gave the red-tape-loving de partment authoi ities a chill. This, It Is believed. Is what led to Schley's belnsr passed over in favor of the cau tious, methodical and less experienced Sampson; and it is the memory of this episode which makes his friends quick to tesent further Injustice to him If, as they believe, It has been practiced. Commodore Schley himself elves the credit for the Santiago victory to "every officer and man In the fleet," which Is noble, generous and just. But at the same time it is clear as day light that Schley has not as yet re ceived his deseits, and this the people aie determined he shtll have, though the heavens fall. What Sptlr. needs Is fewer nincom poops and more Dewevs. American Admiral and German Kaiser The captuie of Isla Grande, com mandlnr the Important strategic posi tion of Sublg Bay, with thirteen hun died Spanish prisoners. 1 the most notable and perhaps politically import ant of all out vlctoiles since the be ginning of the wui. If we except the surrender of Santlugo. Augln aldo and his tioops had, ac conting to the perspicuous dis patch of Admiral Dewey, effect ed the conquest of Sublg Bay with the exception of Isla Ui untie which they wire prevented from taking- through the lnterfereme of the Get man man-of-war Irene. On July 7 Dewey sent tho Raleigh and Concord there with Impel atlvo In structions to boml ard and reduce tho fortifications on the Island, and to biook no Interference from German war tjhlps. Dewey's instructions were In stantaneously and effectively carried out by Captain Ccghlan. After the bombardment the ganlson surtendered, and the most impoitant fort in the Philippine group, the key to tho mas teiy of the Islands, Is In our hands This victory settles the question of retention of the Philippines once nnd for all. Tho Spaniards were making herculean cffoits to prepare Sublg bay In a fitting manner for the reception of Cainara's fleet that was supposed to bo on Its way to Manila. Dewey w.ts of course well awaie of the predic ament of that hapless squadron In the Suez canal, and as he knew It would never reach him he did not probably deem worthy of his attention the sub marine engineering efforts of the Span lards In Sublg hirbor. 4gulnaldo vsas pressing In on the Spaniards; he had taken one position after another, and would have taken the last and pr sfumably the most Impoitant of them all had not the Getmans interfered, and rendered to our credit a victory no lesri magnificent In Its moral significance than as another dcmoustiatlon of the promptitude of our commanders, tho lighting qualities of our seamen, and the piovidentlal tnrtune that wait upon them, Pewv' plan of attack was as simple ns It was brave ami daubing. The Geimans had interfered. If tho German guns rome between the rebels, who aie co-operating with us, and the enemy, the Germans aio tho enemy as well as the Spaniards, The principle Is fomlllar to student!) of International law and Is the predominant foice lit that ovei ruling law of human nature, snlf-piotervatlon. The position and the Intentions of Germany at Manila are now as clear ns the sun at noondiy. Ambassador White was not the only patriotic Amer Uun who vvus deceived by the German piotestatlona of neutiallty In our nnval operations In the i:ar.t. The fleet which (Vtniany maintained before the be. Edged city was altogether so dlspio portlonate to tho ostensible object for which It was brought together, tho pro tection of Intercuts which scarcely ex isted In the Islands, that It could not pass entirely without suspicion. No overt net, howover, which wo could diplomatically or actively resent, took placo until the Incident of tho Irene. This Is sufficiently audacious, to cay the least of It, to be a fcoureo of suspicion nnd dlcquletudc, not to say of nlarm between tho two governments. Ger many hns perpetrated n cowardly trick. She hns sought to Invoke the name of humanity In a time ot war In nn overt net of acgrcfston against tho United Stales, not In the hope of preserving her dissolving colonies to Spain, for no body supposes that Germany cures two straws for Spain, but to get n. hold on a settlement In the archipelago by fair means or foul. Fortunately Dowcy has awakened the Kal3er out ot a most soothing dream of colonial expansion In the Pacific Germany has obtained ns much terri tory there ns she will obtain without fighting for it. If Germany wants a fight with the United States she has only to go on with this snoopy Inter meddling to get accommodated to the limit. The sum of $2,600 has been forwarded to tho Red Cross secretary by Miss Nttalio Schenck of Babylon, I.. I., as a result of her endless chain scheme. On Wednesday her mall contained 12. 000 letters nnd the postmaster of that village continues to have a tired feel ing. . A Step Backward. A valued correspondent criticizes, In nnothcr column, tho tecent action of a committee of tho Central Labor union In urging the Hrle nnd Wyom ing Valley Railroad company to run Sunday trains over their road to Lake Ariel. We do not wish to discuss what ef fect tho running- of these trains would have upon the attendance of tho churches of the city dutlng the sum mer season, nor the moral question concerning the right or wrong obser vance of the Sabbath, but merely to offer for the consideration of the rcp resentatlves of our laboring yeuplo the following facts: Tho weekly rest from labor, granted by law and sanctioned by public opin ion, Is one of the highest privileges of the American workman. Whatever Influences encroach upon that weekly rest fall heaviest upon the man who labors. The tendency of all Sunday excur sions lies In the direction of regu lar Sunday labor and must, therefore, be against tho best Interests of the laboiing man. In tho long run, the harm done to the cause of labor will be greater than any present benefits derived by the Individual. The em ployes of tho French factories have re cently petitioned the government to compel employers to close their factor ies on Sundays. These men are wiser In their day and generation than those who aie asking for the Sunday trains. It is a step backward. Do not urge It. Lieutenant Commander Walnvv right Is a statesman as well as a fighter. In a paper In the Naval Institute on "Our Naval Power" ho wisely says' "Alicady our Interests are clearly bound up with those of other countries of the western hemisphere, and It re quites no prophet to foretell that our merchant fleet will once again visit all portions of the globe, so that our interests nio growing beyond the waters washing our coasts, and our navy will soon be expected to nfford protection to a considerable meichant mot Ino In all parts of the world. To do this we must have coaling stations so protected ns to defy raldeis. We can nvold entangling alliances, and we should refrain from assuming the attitude of the armed bully; but If we are to remain prosperous and to con serve our liberties wo must become poweiful, dating to do right, fearing only to do wrong." That is a flrst-claf-s prescription for national great nets. Many of tho marvelous inventions which were to revolutionize warfare and which have been loudly exploited for the past few years have not been heaid ot duilng there weeks of fight ing. The wondeiful flying machines the up-to-date balloons and even tho much viunted part which the bicycle was to play In modern campaigning havo held nn place in the plans of the war department. 'I he now electrical devices which were expected to achieve staitllng results havo also been for gotten. But there If, one thing that Is changing to some degree the horrid face of war, tor If the missiles of mod em battle are more deadly nnd more hideous In thdr effect, the antiseptic treatment of today Is far more effective in reducing fatality and amputation among the wounded. All soldiers havo a horror of a gun shot wound, but the medicnl knowledge of the present does much to nllny the disastrous effects of n hot engagement. m The Trov Record has Just put In a new Goss straight-line press capable of printing at ono Impression a paper of from four to twenty pages.

HY 18 It that tho Huropean pow ers evince a feverish anxiety to see tho present war brought to a closo? With the exception of Aimtro-lluncnry. the sovereign of which muy bo ptesumed to feci some pomonal sympathy for hht second cousin, tho yuecn ngcnt Christina, tho great European slates regard the contest be tween our country nnd Spain very much ns they lonarrted ho contest between Turkey nnd Greece. They shudder nt tho appalling consequences of tho next CPrcrnl war, so colosrnl nre tho existing nrmnments and to such a pitch of deadly perfection huvo firearms been brought. Thev know, too, that u general war may grow at any hour out of a local one. seeing that, by the telegraph wires which girdle It. tho globe has been converted Into a bundle of nerves that, receiving a shock at ono point, feel n rcsponslvo thrill In every coll nnd filament. Tho determination evinced by tho great pow ers to encyst nnd stride tho war In Thes saly was prompted by the same dlro ex perience that has taught fanners on the prairie to smother a tire at Its Inception. Now It will bo easy to show that, by our Interposition In Cuba, we have slgnnl ly promoted the desire of tho European governments to extinguish ns quickly as possible nil sporadlo outbreaks of flame that might lead to a widespread con flagration; and that tho work of fire Insurance, so far ns we can further It, will only bo roundod out when all the Spanish colonies shall havo been turned over to us. o For three years the stato of things in Cuba had been a reproach to civiliza tion and a menace to tho peace of tho world. Wo say a menace to the peace of the world because we could not have per sisted much longer In a dog-ln-the-mang-er policy and forbidden the desperate Insurgents to Invoke tho aid of some L'uropean power. No ono of tho Euro pean powers, however, could have come forward to rescuo the Cubans without provoking the Jealousy and enmity of tho rest. Tho only Interference with Cuba which, slnco the time of Canning, stntesmen on both sides of the Atlantic had learned to regard with equanimity was that of tho United States. It had come to pass that wa held a bpeclcs of commission to keep the pence In Cuba, nnd, had we neglected to discharge It, the duty of delivering the Cubans from horrible oppression would have fallen to European hands, and tho supersession of Spain by a stiong European power In the Spanish Antilles would have led, soon or late, to a partition of Spanish Amot ion. We alone could upset Spain's col onial lule without exciting nn uncontroll able outburst of envy and greed In Eu rope and occasioning a general scramble for tho spoils of tho New World. What Is truo of Cuba Is true of Porto Rico; that Spain should keep It was not conducive to the collective safety. So long as sho exercised any power there, that Island also would be a firebrand, which, when not aflame, would be smouldering. The situation of the Philip pines even more plainly was fraught with danger to the peace of Christendom. Not only would tho atrocious treatment of tho Philippines and Tagals In Luzon lead to periodical revolts, In the course o'f which some foreign power would bo Im plored to succor the Insurgents, but n response to that appeal would havo peculiarly grave results, because the ac quisition of the urchipclago by any of tho maritime powers most deeply con cerned In tho Par East we refer, of course, to Great Brltuln, Rustln, Trance, Germany nnd Japan would destroy tho delicate balance of power In that quar ter, which hitherto has been so Jealously nnd laboriously maintained, rfot one of the five powers named could take pos session of the Philippines without giving umbrage to the rest; a division of the prize would be demanded by n congress or by the threat of force, and a wldc reaehlng war would bo probably the out come. The only nation that, nt this Junc ture, could occupy the Philippines with out disturbing tho tranquility which for the moment reigns In the Far East, would be the United States; and, as we should give the Islanders good govern ment, their nichlpclago would cease to be a blazing or half-kindled torch. o It Is, In a word, for the Interest of tho whole civilized world that all of Spain's colonies, with the possible exception of the Canaries, should bo turned over to us. It Is for the world's Interests be cause, In her hands, they always havo been, and nlwavs would be a menace to the general peace. If this be true, and that It Is cannot be gainsaid the sooner tho transfer Is made tho better Tho fire, which now Is localized, bhoulrt bo put out oulckly lest It spread. A thou sand accidents, contingencies, lnadveit encles, may lead to tho very complica tions which all of tho European pow ers, except Spain, are anxious to avoid. Wo except Spain because, In putting off tho evil day and In postponing submis sion to tho terms which our duty to man kind compels us to Impose, she can have no other hope, no other purpose, than to bring nbout such International entangle ments as may cause a general war. Spain alone has anything to gain from such a contest. In It she would at least havo allies, and would expect to see her thirst for revenge upon us gratified. The great powers of Europe, however, do not mean to risk an oecumenical convulsion for tho sake of a decadent monarchy, which, considered as the trustee of colonies, has been tried In the balance and found wanting. They recognlzo that. In seek ing to evade the sentence of rigorous Isolation which tho conscience of man kind has passed upon her. sho is Jeopard ing tho pcaco of the world For that reason they aro exerting, and will con tinue to exert, all me means of moral pressure at their command to induce tho Spaniards to nccept promptly such terms as our government may offer.

Tho situation in tho Philippines is full of dangers. Admiral Dewey has shown lemarkable diplomatic tact nnd evenness ot temper under most Irritating condi tions, and the Germans have txhlbltcd commendable discretion by their icjic tlon of the Spanish governor's offer to burrender Manila Into their hands, and by tho prompt withdrawal of the Irene from Sublg bay vpon the appearanco of our war ships there. It Is txtremcly an noying, howover to an officer conducting .in attack upon a hostile position to havo neutral cruisers constantly poking their noses between his guns and those of tho enemy. Our naval commandor-ln-chlel nt Manila may be trusted to play his dell cato pait with all the circumspection le. quired by a complicated situation; but with tho desperate Spaniards prepared to compromise anybody and ovcrjbody in tho hope of profiting by the resulting; con fusion, misunderstandings may arl'e which would make the playing of a deli cate part no easy matter.
