Terms of Pcacs.
Public opinion In the T'nited States
forced tho war with Spain; public
opinion mubt decree tho conditions of
peace. Those in authority will lecojr
nlze that their duty Is to act In obedi
ence to the seneral sentiment of the
people rather than along any lines of
personal sentiment. It Is possible, for
Instance, that Piesldont McKlnley, be
ing by nature a most sonorous man,
would personally Incline toward leni
ency to Spain; his Individual choice,
perhaps, would ho to let Spuln off as
easily n3 possible. We do not know
that this Is the situation: we simply
assume It. Such an attitude would do
credit to his sympathies and his mag
nanimity Hut being officially tho ex
ecutive of the will of the people he will
do as the people desire and It. there
fore. Is now for the people through
press and public men to declare their
Intentions.
Our interptetatlou of the general
judgment Is that while it Is indifferent
to the matter of money recompense
from Spain, preferring to lest Its de
mands on a higher basis, and while It
entertains no feeling of bitterness or
thirst for tevenge, yet It can view In
no other light than ns an Impeintlve
moral duty that Spain be separated
from all her colonies. Spanish colonial
administration stands self-revealed ns
so grossly cruel, unfair, dishonest nnd
lnelllclcnt that a war begun on n
humanitarian hals cannot compromise
its own motives by stopping slnit of n
complete undoing of these. Inhuman
colonial bonds. How the people of
Spain choose to govern themselves Is
very largely a concern and risk of their
own, with which wo need not Interfere;
but how they govern other people Is a
matter of humanity, nnd since wo havo
undertaken to execute humanity's com
mission In Spain's premises wo must,
for our own reputation and conscience,
do a thorough job.
This being true. It remains to save.
Spain from false hopes and to this end
a candid declaration of intentions Is
fast becoming an International neces
sity. Tho "Wilkes-Banc man who painted
an American ling on the sidewalk on
the Public Square found himself not
fo popular us he had supposed and
after several bundled pedestrians bad
avoided h!t place of business and walk
ed out In the street rather than tread
on the Stars nnd Stripes lie had the
grace to remove tho emblem of Ills
country from Its humiliating location.
Captain Grldley.
Sad as death Is at best, there will be
comfort to the fumlly and friends of
Captain Grldley In the knowledge that
his end was as an honest sailor would
have It, Tho Manila correspondent of
the Chicago Record, Mr. McCutcheon,
under date of June 2 writes thus of
Captain Grldley's departure from the
fleet on the journey homeward which
was ended as we know;
"Captain Grldley, who has been In
command of the Olympla, obtained a
pick leave and left for the United
States May 25, Ho has been In poor
health for some time, but preferred to
come down for the naval battle before
leaving his command. The ceremonies
attending his departure were quite ap
propriate and affecting. All the men
on the Olympla were drawn up In mus
ter Just before ho left the ship and a
boat's crew nf offlcersrowed him over
In the captain's gig" to the Haflro, on
.. A.
which ho wan to go to Hong Kong.
The band of the Olympla played Auld
Lang Syne' as he left, nnd then
switched to 'The Girl 1 Left Behind
Me' as he reached the Zaflro, nnd last,
an the slhp got under way, swung Into
tho strains of 'Home, Sweet Home,' As
tho Zaflro passed between tho Balti
more and Boston, the crews were lined
up on both vessels nnd tho Baltimore's
band caught up tho fading notes of the
Ol'ympla's muslo nnd played 'Home,
Sweet Home' until the figure of the
departing captain was only a white
patch against the dark shadows of the
Eaflro's awnings, As long ns ho was
In earshot tho cheers of tho crews
floated out to him and tho be.it wishes
of 1,500 men went with him,"
Death following such a record of
good service and high esteem won
among associates Is robbed of most of
Its terrors.

When tho second expedition reached
Honolulu there awaited It 4000 pumpkin
pies, nnd yet thero nro those who doubt
Hawaii's capability for Americaniza
tion. The McKlnley Doctrine.
If tho Paris Matin Is correct the
rmptror of Germany Is nbout to add
to his multifarious nnd ubiquitous
duties the self-imposed task of giving
n nrw interpretation to tho Monroe
doctrine. Tho exegesis wjll rimnnd
more labor than ho possibly anticipates,
America Is prepared to stand by the
Mom oo doctrine, Just as It stand by
the Integrity of the constitution. Ths
doctrine or policy attributed to James
Monroe Is ns little In conflict with thy
political aspirations of tho r.iropean
powers In their course of colonial ag
grandizement ns Is the Ivlolabillty of
the confederation of tho Gorman em
pire. The basic principle of tho Mon
roe doctrine Is the Integration of the
American continent: the restraint of
hostile nations from establishing them
selves side by side In tho Western hem
isphere, ns they are now doing In China
and In Africa.
The Monroe doctrine can be of little
value as a moral force unless It Is
upheld by physical force. It Is quite
true that tho Monroe doctrine has been
tncllly accepted by Kurope since we
Incorporated In our national political
system but this has been simply be
cause we have net once up to the
pt wont time come Into open conflict
with a Eutopoan power over an issue
bearing upon that doctrine. The Idea
of the Emperor William seems to be
that we have abrogated the Monroe
doctrine by our occupation of the
Philippine Idnnds; that as we have fol
lowed .1 policy seemingly in conflict
with the In. piled obligations of that
doctrine 1 y waging 1 war of aggres
sion on a European power and occupy
ing or Intending to occupy a rortlon
of her tenltorles, we are not entitled
to claim from other stntes an acquie
scence In the Monroe doctrine excert
such as we may Impose by force. It
were easy to establish that this ln
terpietntlon Is fallacious In nil things
save Its recognition of the sovereignty
of foico. We never said that If a Kuio
pean power misbehaved to us and to
humanity we should withhold the hand
of punishment. Wp simply said that If
hurope would let us nlono so far ns
trying to overthrow our sovereignty
we would keep out of Europe's Intri
gues and combine?, and we have done
so.
The course of Germany In the Philip
pines, therefore, has no more correla
tion with the Monroe doctrine than it
has w ith the Thirty-Nine Articles. Wo
arc at wnr with Spain, and by all rights
ntul obligations of international law
we aio entitled during that war neither
to assistance nor to resistance from the
powers. Wnr Implies the minimum of
responsibility and consideration
toward? the enemy. If Germany be
lieves that bringing comfort to the
enemy is none of our business, we must
simply enforce the lesson that it Is.
If the European chancelleries are now
discussing the eventual Intervention of
the powers In the Philippine Islands, let
tlfin go on discussing. It will not
.end to modify our policy a hair's
breadth. The Monroe doctilnc warns
Euiopean land-grabbers off the Ameri
can hemisphere because their absence
is essential to our welfare. The defeat
of Spain belli-,' at this time al3oessentlal
to our welfare we shall administer It
wheie we please nnd in tho settlement
of peace make nnd enforce our own
tonus. That will be, not the Monroe,
but the McKlnley doctrine, it Is a
logical outgrowth of the Monroe doc
trine and It Is made necessary at this
time by the enlarred position nnd re
sponsibilities to which the war with
Spain has unexpectedly brought us.
The more we learn about Admiral
Cervera the more we are convinced
that he Is too good a man to bo handi
capped by having to wear a Spanish
uniform.
Cause nnd Effect.
Acting Agent Fnguet, of the French
line, In a letter published Thursday,
vehemently defends both officers nnd
crow of the lost ship, I.a Bourgogno
and icfutes tho tales of their brutality,
which, he says, have been grossly ex
aggerated. It Is no doubt impossible
to get nt all the real facts of this great
catastrophe but to quote Dr. J. M.
Buckley In his strong comparison with
regard to other lines: "It Is not Di
vine Providence exclusively that en
ables the Cunard lino to deelnre that
In Its career It has not lost the life
of a passenger. It Is human provi
dence, human discipline, human skill,
human self-control."
The Investigation of the Bourgjgno
disaster Is being pursued under obvi
ous difficulties, owing to the loss of
tho Bhlp's oflleers, but it Is worthy of
note that the captain of the Cromarty
shire swears that one of tho rescued
engineers of the ill-fated vessel r.d
mltted to him that tho soed of La
Bourgogne had not been tlackenod in
the fog. This testimony is corrobo
rated by one other olllcer, the only
person who actually wltneiwia the col.
ltslon, who testified tint four of the
steamers' crew told hlin thi pamo re
garding her speed. tiIs testimony
illumines Dr. Buckley's comment,
An Interesting record of punctuality
In railroading was mado last year by
the Lehigh Valley Railroad company
In the case of its justly celebrated
"Black Diamond Express." On tho
westward run this train kept within
flvo minutes of schedule tlmo on 2S7
out of 313 days, or 92 per cent,, whllo
on tho eastward run tho percentngo
was 0,1, there being only 23 Instnnces
of delay. As a result of this fidelity
to schedule the road hnd no accidents
nnd no damage bills to pay, nnd public
patronage Increased steadily. There Is
a lesson Jn its .experience for nil kinds
of common carriers, Including street
enr companies.
Tho Women's Christian Temperance
union Is nn admirable Institution and
one to which wo wish every success;
but for It to Inundate commanding offi
cers with letters of tcmonstranco on
tho sale of intoxicating liquors at the
present moment is Inapposite nnd Irrl
tntlng nnd does little, good. It simply
pesters men who have their hands al
ready full, and who know better than
civilians what is good for the men
under their command.
Steamship ngentJ report that the de
mand for transportation to Europe,
temporarily deprersed by the war, Is
now rapidly Increcstng, with avullable
facilities already inadequate. It is a
pity tho American traveler doesn't take
one summer off for Investigation of his
own country.
It seems a pity to blow up all our
submarine mines without having one
shot at Camara's fleet. The country
has paid a great deal for those mines
nnd nt least It ought to have a front
seat at the show when they go off.
That Spanish privateer which Is "lay
ing" for our Klondike argonauts is
probably related to tho aurora borealls.
Now Is the tlmo for Blanco to malcu
another theatilcal stab at himself, with
men near to avert real harm.

From tho Philadelphia Enquirer.
T
THIRTY DAYS after his departure
from Tampa General Shaffer has
received the surrender, not only
of the city of Santiago, but of
nearly the whole of dhe province
of that name, with an army corps esti
mated at 2.,000 men. As against this
thero Is a Ios9 of tho American forces of
nbout 2C0 men dead and some 1.500 wound
ed, nearly all of v. bom will recover. In
addition, tho fine squadron of Cervera
has been completely destroyed, with tho
loss of one man. Wo think this Is a
complete answer to those yellow Journals
who havo been criticising tho conduct of
the war from Its beginning, who havo
told the administration daily that it was
doing drong, and have laid down the cam
paigns for their guidance which havo
been refused. Wo doubt If tho history
of warfare shows anything more admlr
uble than this. It will bo hard to find a
case of an army so hastily collected,
transported by sea, fighting Its way from
a landing point, besieging a city and cap
turing It with an army greater than Its
own numbers, together with Immense
territory, In the space of a month. It Is
a high compliment to the valor of tho
American soldiers, to the strategy of the
American generals, and to the power of
our navy.
o
Irrostsilblc.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
Deficient tho expedition undoubtedly
wa, but It has won more cannot be.
It was without cavalry. It lacked ar
tillery. It oairled no train. It was un
provided with lighters to land siege guns.
Tho men wero in heavy clothing. One
fourth of tho forco was mado up of men
civilians six weeks before. Not a prl
vato had ever been under fire save- a
few In Indian skirmishes. Not a brlgado
was over together before landing. The
arms wero Inferior to those of the en
emy In range and In the uso of black
powder. Both Spanish artillery and small
arms were provided with smokeless pow
der. Neither of our weapons had It.
The Spanish troops had been In the field
for three, years. They occupied a forti
fied position of their own choosing and of
great strength. The harbor was protect
ed by a powerful fleet. In spite of all
these odds. It was true wisdom to risk
all In a bold blow, and this wise daring
has won. The Spanish fleet Is destroyed.
Santiago has fallen. With it falls all
Eastern Cuba. Tho supremacy of Amer
ican arms Is established. The men who
could take Santiago under these odds can
go anywhere and do anything.
Ow
An Object I.cnon.
From tho Philadelphia Record.
We could havo converted the doomed
city Into a charnel house by a raking fire
from our guns at close range. We could
have compelled a humiliating surrender
under pain of shooting our enemy to
pieces: but, with unparalleled magnanim
ity, wo have foregone tho satisfaction
of humbling the foe to tho dust, and havo
saved his prldo by permitting him to
cvacuato the town with the honors of
war and by offering tho defeated ormy
transportation to Spain. It was a victory
of tho altruistic spirit which animates
tho American peoplo over tho savago lust
of conquest. It has not transpired from
whom emanated tho Idea of thus build
ing a golden brldgo over which the en
emy might honorably retreat; but the
conception was In complete harmony
with the design to conduct a necessary
war as humanely as possible, and It will
stand as a shining example for tho emu
lation of civilized armies,
o
Quick Work.
From tho Philadelphia Ledger.
Cervera ttwk his ships to Santiago on
May 19, and on Muy no Commodore Schley
reported that ho had the Spanish ad
miral bottled up. That was just six
weeks ago. On June 3 the Merrlmac was
sunk In tho mouth of tho harbor In nn
attempt to cork the bottle, which was
not entirely successful. Shatter's troops
began landing nt Daiquiri, fifteen miles
from Santiago, on June 22, and Cervera's
fleet was taken out of the harbor and
destroyed on July .1, after a sanguinary
battle by tho land forces, lasting two
days, July 1 and 2. Since that time thero
has been no fighting of consequence, ten
days having been consurmd lu negotia
tions for the surrender of the city. Tho
campaign really lasted no more ' than
twelve days from Juno 20 to July 3 but
tho losses were very heavy, aggregating
at least 1.S0O out of tho army of 16,500
originally landed.
o
General Hhnflnr.
From tho Philadelphia Tress.
General Shaftcr has won tho success,
deserves tho praise nnd will enjoy tho
famo which comes to supreme success
won by bulldog tenacity. His plans havo
hud all tho merit of courageous simplic
ity. From landing to surrender he pushed
straight on to tho end In view, nnd he
has won, Ho did not worry tho war de
partment for tho Impossible. Ho mada
no complaint of his lacks. He asked no
allowances for the manifest Imperfec
tions of the expedition. Be was thero to
do tho work, and ho did It, pushing his
men from point to point and taking great
risks, but Justifying them all by com
plete success. Working ns he did under
the gaze of the wholo country, he bus had
much criticism, often cruelly unjust, al
ways based on the half-truth of an Incom
plete enterprise; but ho baa taken San
tiago nnd he will bo gratefully remem
bered by a country which owes to his
skill, courage, tenacity, victory gained
against odds and under extreme physical
difficulties. Sick or well, he has always
kept fighting nnd steadily moved for
ward, and of such Is tho kingdom of war.
o
Incomparable.
From the Philadelphia Time.
Tho heroism of our troops beforo San
tiago, In which thero could bo no distinc
tion mado between the regulars nnd tho
volunteers Just fresh from their homes,
will stand out In American history ns
equnllng the heroism of any of our great
achievements of tho pnst. Tho Spanish
army was the least of tho obstncles
which confronted our bravo boys at San
tiago. A most Inhospitable climate, with
dally floods alternating with scorching
suns, and without nnythlng approaching
ndeqttato commissary, quartermaster or
hospital supplies, they havo fought, sac
rificed and suffered as few troops lu any
war havo done.

Tho Ilcst Course
From tho Washington Star,
Tho shipping to Spnin of the soldiers
taken nt Santiago Is unquestionably tho
best courso for the government to pur
sue, Thp cost of their maintenance lu tho
United States would bo far greater than
that of their shipment home. If permit
ted to depart unarmed for other parts of
the Island they would bo either speedily
rearmed by the Spanish authorities from
tho oxtra stores at tho capital or slain
by the Cubans ns they made their way
to tho largo cities. Tho shipping of thn
wholo body to Spain Is undeniably the
easiest way out of the difficulty.

From the New York Sun.
To General Nelson A. Miles Is duo a
salutation In connection with Santiago,
although ho was late upon tho field.
Miles Is a fighter of weight, nnd It was
not In human naturo that his nrrlval at
Santiago could fall to incline tho Span
ish general, Toral, to consider morn re
spectfully tho nrguments for surrender.

Tho Right Wny.
From the Wllkcs-Bnrio Record.
Admiral Dewey seems to bo built af
ter tho pattern of General Grant. When
he sees that a certain thing ought to bo
dono ho goes right In nnd does It with
out waiting for Instructions from any
where. It Is the only effective way In
tlmo 6f war.

Their Turn Coming.
From tho Wllkes-Barro Ncws-Dcalcr.
General Blanco and Admiral Camara
should not bo too envious of tho atten
tion Aamiral Cervera, our distinguished
prisoner, is receiving; their turn will soon
come, unless peace docs.
IN TUB NAME OP HUMANITY.
From tho Chicago Kecord.
The people of tho I'nlted Stntes havo
been accused of boidldncss and commer
cialism. Tho worship of tho dollar, it Is
t.aid, lias dominated everything, to tho
exclusion of culture, and has prevented
tho upbuilding of governmental Institu
tions puro enough and strong enough to
minister to tho wants of the peoplo and
to protect the weak frem tho aggressions
of tho powerful nnd corrupt. Thero Is
doubtless a superficial truth, at least, In
tho accusation.
0
But, whatever the wcrld may have said
III' tho past, It canrot deny that at tho
present tlmo the people of this nation
aro moved by a mighty nnd noblo senti
ment that has nothing to do with the dol.
lar or with tho Instincts of commeiclal
Ism. In the name of humanity and .f
civilization this people has gone to war
In the cause of freedom nnd for the pur
poso of driving from tho western hemi
sphere the morlhtlnd remnant of mediae
val rule. The eftcct of that ono inspira
tion upon tho national character can
never be obliterated. In the name of hu
manity wo went out to help a suffering
and struggling people. The cry onco
raised so effectively can never again bo
silenced, and it mut be Instrumental In
bringing nfedrd reforms at home. Where
tho conditions of working men and wo
men nro oppressive, in the name of hu
manity society must demand with a
louder voleo than ever before that tlioo
conditions bo remedied. Whero children
nro deprived of tho rights and privileges
of childhood. In tho name of humanity
will there come a demand for relief.
Whero failuro to provide proper Kite,
guards to life nnd limbs results In un
necessary Injury, the public. In tho name
of humanity, will demand legislative In
terference. Wherever social wrong and
Injustlco exist the demand for abatement,
In the name of humanity, muut receive
ever more consideration.
In tho namo of civilization, too, noto
rious evils of government nnd politics
must bo subject to over more and more
effective attacjt. Having assumed .to
drive Spain from the western hemisphere
because of its Incapacity to rule, we must
be on tho alert that our own civilization
be not discredited by tho growth of cor
ruption. Inefficiency and spoils methods
In our political Institutions. In tho namo
of humanity nnd of civilization tho Amer
ican people have been profoundly stirred.
The force of this snmo sentiment Is bound
to count for much In the Improvement
of our own governmental and social In
stitutions. a juhsson i. piim'Aur.nNEss.
From the Philadelphia Fress.
Tho American people had a lesson In
preparedness given them on July 3 at
Santiago that ought not to bo lost
When the Spanish fleet attempted to
escape from tho harbor nn American
diet larger and better armed and
equipped stood ready to receive It, und
In three hours every Spanish blilp wns
sunk or beached, the crews wero drowned
or captured and the admiral was a pris
oner on board nn American vessel. Sup
pose there had been only a few American
ships of an Inferior class In front of San
tiago harbor. Ccrvcra's fleet might havo
escaped and now be harrjlng tho coast
of tho Flitted States and doing moro
damage every day than the entire cost
of all tho battlethlps and cruisers under
the command of Admiral Sampson. J ho
American people would have taved a few
million dollais In shipbuilding mid lo.H
ten tlrr.es at. much moro In pioperty do

and unxiety caused by knowing that tho
Spanish flee: was freo and capablo of
going where It pleased. A long and
fruitless chase might havo followed mil

tho hhlps ready to grapple with tho Span
ish licet as soon as It appeared In tho
open.
War Is like every ether business. If
a manufacturer Is not ready with tho
right kind of goods ho must step out of
the market. Tho man who does not
keep up with tho demands of the tlmo
must give way to ono more skillful and
sagacious. It is tho samo with nations.
They must keep abreast of progress or
sea some other nation push them to tho
renr. The people that Is not ready for
war these days runs tho risk of loss
nnd humiliation. When the war broke
out Spain's navnl power stood to ours
In about tho samo relation that ours
stood to any ono of tho three great Con
tinental powers of Europe. Tho result
of Spain's unprcparedneM Is evident. Do
tho American people ever wish to bo
caught In tho same condition nnd over

INTOXICANTS IN WAKFA11E.
From a Physician's Letter In the Sun.
It Is encournglng to Intelligent and
progressive minds, even at this late pe
riod In our boasted civilization, to learn
that tho house committeo on alcoholic
liquor traffic has rendered a report unani
mously declaring that the canteen at sol
diers' homes and army posts Is not only
detrimental to discipline, but has a gen
eral demoralizing effect and no corre
sponding benefit. This committeo might
well go further, and with truth and Jus
tice, demonstrated by long experience,
stato what has been established as a
fact, that alcoholic liquor Is not only
detrimental to discipline and generally
demoralizing In Its effects, but that it Is
detrimental in Its effects upon the physi
cal, nervous, nnd mental powers and qual
ifications of those who use It.
No person Is better, cither mentally or
physically, or having fused alcoholic
liquor In any form. Field Marshal Lord
Wolsoley has demonstrated this fact, un
der tho most trying ordeal, with tho Brit
ish army In a tropical country: nnd
many largo manufacturing firms In this
country and In others have found, by
prolonged experimentation, that tho best
work of every character and kind Is al
ways dono by the employes who nro ab
stainers, or by otheis when absolutely
freo from alcohol.
By all means abolish tho use nf alco
holic liquor among our troops, and give
them tea, coffee, cola, or even strych
nine nnd dlgltalllnc, under tho direction
of tho army and navy surgeons, and a
wholly different class of men will be
found on duty, enabled to endure tho
greatest fatlguo possible for tho Indi
vidual, with always a clear head, steady
nerve, calm In Judgment, nnd nn ener
gizing effect each day, which will bring
surprising results. Alcohol first excites
and overstlmulates tho nervous and ar
terial systems, and then causes a dulling
of the perceptlvo faculties.
A COMING CITIZEN.
rrom tho Utlca Picks.
If his life Is spared and tho war lasts
long enough to givo ecope to his nctlvlty,
Theodoro Roosevelt will return fiom the
fields of battlo one of tho most famous
men of the United States. Ills career
may already bo called a brilliant one. It
Is qulto In contrast with thut chof.cn by
most young n'cn possessing his environ
ment. Ho has from tho beginning sought
to servo tho public good. Ho has shown
courage In every position In which he has
been placed. His work In tho reformation
of tho New Ymk police forco Is partlcu
laily well-rcincmbeied. In bis brief term
ns nsBistant secretary of the navy lie ren
dered Eervico of the most Important char
acter. When ho resigned this post there
was slnccro regret on tho part of Presi
dent McKlnley. but Mr. Roosovelt's de-
slro to go to tho front wns gratified, and
by gallant conduct nt Santiago he has
won tho colonelcy of tho Hough aiders.
In whoso organization ho was largely In
strumental, No doubt greater honors aro
In htore for Colonel Rcosovclt, nnd he will
bo sure to deservo them. His example Is
worth much to tho young men of tho
country. It shows them tho rli-'ht path to
pursue In peaco and In war, Tho United
States can not havo too many citizens
llko Theodore Roosevelt. Ho has his
faults, but they are lost to view In con
slderatlon of his Intense purpose to be of
uso In bis day and generation.
