I shall bo the goernor of the whole rcople of the state. Abuses have undoubtedly grown up in tho legis lature which aro neither tho fault of ono party nor the other, but rather thj growth of cuMcm.

It will be my purposo while governor of Pennsylvania, ns It hai been m purpose In tho publlo positions that I have held, with God's help, to discharge my whole duty. The people are greater than tho parties to which they belong. I am only Jealous of their favor. I shall only attempt to win their npproval and my experience has taught me that that can best be done by an honest, modest, dally discharge of public duty. The effort on part of tho Frenrh am bassador to Induce the United States to s,ue for peace looks like another scheme to let Spanish honor down easy. Suing for Pence. The Spanish government through M. Jules Cambon, the French ambassa dor, has taken the Initiative In suing for peace The proposal U uncondi tional. Wc nre to formulate our de mands and Spain will take them into consideration. This Is a matter of bin- cere congratulation for this country as well as for Spain. If we have carried on the war with deteimination and without compromise, we have no wish to prolong it unduly. The liberation of Cuba was the object for which the war was waged. The president In his mes sage to congress distinctly repudiated the Imputation that vie had any other object In view than the establishment of an independent and stable govern ment in that Island. War once begun, It Is beyond the power of any govern ment to control Its couise or circum vent Its ultimate Ifsue. Tho difficulties In the way of an Immediate peace with Spain lensonable and rational are really not many. The evacuation of Cuba and the cession of Porto Rico may be taken as the basis on which all other proposals will be entertained. The disposition of the Philippines Is unquestionably a great difficulty, but It may not prove an insuperable one. These Islands can never again be any thing but a source of weakness, ex pense and disquietude to Spain If she retrain, possession of them again. They are as unfit now foi autonomy under Spain as they would be after our with drawal ns an Independent republic un der AgulnaUlo. It ts true up to the time of the declaration of war our In terests In the Philippines were rather commercial than humanitarian Manila bark we all heard of In one connection or another ns an imported article from the Philippines, but that was nearly the extent of our geographical and po litical knowledge of the archipelago until Admlial Dewey's brilliant victoiy brought the name of Manila into as sudden vogue as Dawson City was a few months previously. German In terference has complicated a situation In the East which was sufficiently complicated before. The "consecrated person" hnd probably his eye on the Philippines as the lineal successor of Spain whenever the rebels worsted her in the sanguinary struggle bhe was simultaneously carrying on In Cuba and the Philippines. At all events an Independent republic such as Agulnal do is coquetting after Is out of the question. The Philippine Islands would not be able to maintain their Inde pendence three months, and probably not much longer under a' suzerainty that was not an effective and effectual protectorate such as England exercises in Egypt. The terms which Spain Is prepared to accept do not In reality depend upon the Spanish government. Tho internal condition of the peninsula Is bordering upon anarchy. Revolution is In the air, not ono revolution threatening from one quarter, but a series without an object in common, or a common purpose in view. It la probable that the Queen Regent has received assur ances from one or more of the powers that in suing for peace the dynasty of her son will be protected by armed in tervention If necessary. Tho financial Interests of Franco ate enormous in the peninsula. A successful Carllst revo lution would throw back the material progress of the country, slowly moving forward, a century. ThU would not be the first time that France has Inter fered In the Internal government of Spain by armed Intervention. Indeed Spain has been the cockpit of more dynastic revolutionary wurs than any other country in Kurrfpe. Whatever the terms of peace may be, we may rest fifsurM that the French republic will keep Internal order in Spain until these cuds nic secured. One of the mo.it gratifying features of the proposals made for peace Is that the Spanish government has had the good sense, llttlo ns It was expected of them, to take the initiative directly with Washington. If the ministry had realized that the United States wni nolthrr open to threats nor demonstr.i tton of forco threo months ago, she would have been spared Incalculable misery. Hut the Spanish people were assured by n bombastic ptess nnd n. pragmatical at my that the Americans were a people that despised war; that were wholly absorbed In the pursuit of wraith: n lace too cowardly for any thing except pig sticking. Tho unfor utnate and Ignorant Spanlaids were not told that during the course nf the century we waged two wars with Great liritaln, one war with Mexico, Innu merable Indian wars, and the greatest and most disastrous of all wars an cient or modern the great civil war. Their own weakness was at the same time as carefully concealed from them. They were not told that the progress of a war depended as much at any rate upon money ns upon valor. They were not told, thebp poor Spaniards, that America Is Immensely rich and that Spain Is Immeasurably poor in com parison, and bo they have suffered In consequence. We await tho conclusion of President McKinley's deliberations with confidence In the reasonable Jus tice nnd humanity of the terms which he offers for Spain's consideration or acceptance. Lack of patriotism In tills country breaks out In spots, but they are few and far between and will not bo dif ficult to rub out. Professor Norton, of Harvard nnd Professor von Hoist, of Chicago university, should read Sen ator Hoar's vigorous opinion of such jematks as they have uttered and promptly efface themselves. While they have Injured their count! y's dig nity abroad, Infinitely more luvr they disgraced the great Institutions which to some degree they represent. Civic Federation of Chicago. Since the unfortunate peace efforts of Alfied Love, which caused the ex pulsion of his followers from Independ ence Hall, there ha not not appeared on the surface a more nmuslng In stance of childlike assurance than that exhibited by the organization Known as the Civic Federation of Chicago. Now that the war with Spain teems near the end the Civic Federation hast ens to offer Its services In tho way of untangling any diplomatic rufclems that may have been unsolved dutlng the conflict, and promised to sttalght en things out with the woild at large after nn opportunity has been given the society to talk the matter oer. Ignoring the work of the administra tion which has met and successfully grappled with some of the most per plexing questions that ever confiont ed tho head of a civilized nation, pass ing by without a remaik the achieve ments of the brave men at the front on land and ten who have caused the nations of the earth to look with ming led admiration and awe upon their ter llble skill and prowess In modem war fare: dismissing without a thought the patriotic congress which without a dis senting voice hurried a bill through both blanches to rrovlde a war fund to be used without restriction, and passed other measuies to provide a permanent war revenue, the Clic Fed eration of Chicago Issues a call for a meeting to be held at Saratoga dutlng the month of August "to discuss the future policy of the United States." In rcfeirlng to the question of what dis position the United States should make of Cuba, the Philippines and Porto Rico at the end of the war, the Civic Fed eration leaders gravely remark: "This question Impresses us as be ing one of the most serious tho Amer ican people have had to consider. It is a new question nnd one upon which heictofore very little thought has been given by the great majority ot tho people. Whether the foreign policy of the 'fathers' should be adhered to or departed from le enough to challenge tho most serious conslderatloi of our ablest and most thoughtful men." It may be a matter of Biirprlse to most readers that "our ablest and most thoughtful men" have been in the background quietly thinking during the past three months of war excite ment when almost everybody ban had 6ome sort of un opinion to exrjress. If such Is tho case it would seem more In keeping with the course of events for the able members of the Chicago Civic Federation to keep on thinking until the end of the war. An attempt on part of the organization to dispose of territory that has not yet bren ac quired by the United States might bring on embarrassing complications and make us all regret that the war was ever begun. The war programme will doubtless be subject to unexpected changes from now on. The Philadelphia Inquirer has equceted the recall of Admiral Samp son. Our Army. In a national crisis It ts well now and again to lake stock of our position, to see how far we have processed on the whole, or retrogressed In particu lars. Adjutant CJeneral Corbln has made public a valuable statement of the progress made In the organization nnd equipment of the volunteers and regular armies ot the United States. In tha ninety days which havo elapsed since the president issued his first call for voli'nteet3 an army of 261,000 men havo been recruited, mustered, equipped, and placed In the field. This is an achievement of which tho coun try on the whole may well feel proud, nnd which has cuusd astonishment In the beet Informed and most critical military circles of Europe. Tho army which the nation has raised In this Incredibly short space of time Is nearly as large as either of tho standing arm ies of France or Germany. We will not say that It Is as well equipped or as efficiently drilled; that was im possible. It is lutgely a volunteer army, which had to be mobilized on a moment's notice; which had to be col lected from states continental in their aroa. and ni far npart as countries that aro divided by oceans. This vast nrmy was mlsed not for the purposo of resisting Invasion, which would nt once place the command of the entire military resources nf tho courtly In tha hands of the president; nor foi tho purposo of suppressing a domestic to hellion, which would effect tho same end; but It was a rail to aims to engage a foreign country on a torclgn shore, Piitilotlsm alono wno tho Inspiring and insplratlug 'motive which brought It together, which has endured it unmur murlngly to great hnrdshlps.and which has subjected It to abnegation which would ho Incredible If it could be re counted Individually. The peisonnel of the troops Is far superior to that of any body of men hitherto raised for military purposes In this countiy. Not only Is It superior in physical status, but In that pervading emulation ot each regiment to be not alone equal but superior to Its neighbor. A continental army evolved through ycirs of labor ious drill and almost Insufferable conscription presents a homogeneity to which our army cm lay no claim But then the cost of maintaining such an Idle host of the countty's most compet ent workmen In their prime for three or four years, apatt altogether from other considerations, is so enormous that even war does not greatly add to the bin den. Wo have no standing army to com paie with the standing armies of the Old World, but we have no standing and insufferable taxation for that pur pose. Tho gi eater part of our military expenses are Incidental to actual war. Our small regular nrmy in time of peace Is nothing more than an highly efficient police force under the con trol of the Federal authorities. Even with Its probable Increase in the near future, that description will hold good, of ihe 216,50) volunteers authorized by congress, 212,000 have been placed In the field nearly all fully equipped, and In a few dar the entire army will be In a state of preparedness to go nny where and undertake anv engage ments In a countiy of comparatively dense population like our own, In which the military spirit has not had time to slumber for any considerable time, wo should not expect permanent diffi culties In recruiting a large force at any stated time. But while numbers nio Invaluable, they are not every thing in the organization of an army. You want a man behind the gun, or the cannon, or the breastwork. It is thi genial expressed concensus of for eign military experts, who are not likely to exalt cur soldiers at tho expense of their own countrymen, that our tioops ate the best fighters In tho world. Can our pessimists want any-' thing more from our army or navy to relieve their Imaginations of those dieadful nlghtmaies with which they aio nfiected. The movements of forebjn vessels In the direction of Manila tmy be an In dication that the powers are deter mined to take a hand In the settle men of the affairs In the Philippines. In any event It Is not Hkelv that the United States will permit Interference In the course of represent itivs in tli3 East. Now that the go e':iinent is faiily in the business and Is prepaied to deal In a proper manner with na tions thsk Interfere, It will be well to settle for all time the quest'on o' the tight of any European government to meddle with the United States in It? crueade against oppression. Chairman John P. Elkln's statement that In his opinion tho Pennsylvania soldier may vote w herever he Is will be heartily endorsed by all patriotic citizens. The Act of 1S64 provides for the erection of a polling place In each company compilsed of Pennsylvania soldiers and for officers who will con duct the election In the regulation way. In Chairman Elkin'b opinion that this law Is In no detail affected by the Raker ballot law Is Important under tho existing circumstances. Perhaps Miss Jennings, the Red Cross nurse on the Seneca did talk, women sometimes do, but had the not said something regarding the deplor able conditions on board the ship ear ning wounded soldiers, the govern ment might have heatd very little about the evident neglect In preparing for their return. m A rather dangerous precedent has been established In Manchester. Eng , wheie a court official shot down the Judge who had revoked his commis sion because of misconduct. Tins Is more startling than lynch law in the United States, which hag ben a ei veicly and deserv.f'ly crlticlsM. The disposition on the part of the offi cers of the American armv and navy to award privates and seamen a large share of the credit for victories won, has doubtless done much towards im ptovlng the fighting qualities of our men. The Jersey City man who presented his marriage certificate In lieu of his lirst naturalization papers setting forth his intentions toward the country, evi dently had a dim idea of what wo are coming to. A woman, of course it was n woman, has written a poem about "Tho Re porter In Heaven." Bless that wo man! Nobody else would have ven tuied to make such a euggestion. It la rumoied that ex-City Solicitor Rums smiled when he received tho telegram announcing his nomination for congress. The lull In exciting war news hap pened Just In time to give the returned Klondlkers a chance. It would not be a bad plan for tha press to cabt a few bouquets ,n the direction of General Mllei.. People along the New England coast will begin to discover Russian warships u few days hence. - THE PEACEMAKER.

The Imports Into Cuba havo been of course light during the past ear or more, and a fair estimate of her purchases can onlv be obtained by examination of the Heurea of the year 15)0 or earlier years.

FIRST SAW CERVERA'S SHIPS. Philadelphia Bulletin. Joseph T. Gaskln, signal boy on the battleship Iowa, Is credited with being the first to give the alarm when Cervera s squadron made Its dash out of SantlHgo Harbor. Gaskln's home Is in Newark, N. J , and he has written to his sister that Captain Robley D. Evans, of tho Iowa, has rewarded him for hb vigi lance. Young Gaskln was on duty on the Iowa on the morning of July 3, he says In his letter, nnd was watching tne en trance to the harbor keenly, being spurred on by a standing offer of rewnrt to the first person to report tho Spanish fleet if it should make a break, At 9 o'clock he noted and reported that three lines of smoke were moving toward the entrance and of his own accord pre pared tho signal rumbers 2-5-0, meaning, "The enemy's ships escaping," and maie them ready for hoisting, At half-past !i o'clock he .saw tho lirst emerging war ship, and reported the fact to the naviga tor, who ordered him to hoist the emer gency signal He did so, and the navlga. tor bald: "Sound the alarm, hugler; sound generul quarter!" Then tha battlo was on. OFF TO TRADE IN SANTIAGO. New York Sun.

Very little doubt existed In any Ameri can mind that the battleship Maine was blown up by an external mine or tor pedo. That llttlo Is dispelled by com parison of the wreck of the Molno with those of the Almlranto Oquendo and iz caa at Santiago On those vessels the magazines and some of the torpedies carried were exploded by the action of American shells and the tires staited by them. et they present totally different aspects from that of the Maine In Ha vana harbor. There is no lifting of the bottom plates or bulging of the sides about tho ruined Spanish craft, a featu.-e that Is marked In the wreck of the Maine. This demonstration Is gratifying, not because It was needed to convince tho naval experts, or American public opin ion, but because It is a refutation of tti.it current of Kuropean sentiment which condemned the American report. Tho wrecks aro there for the examination and comparison of tho officers of tho German cruiser Geler, the Austrlans who wit nessed tho destruction of C'orvera's snui- dron, the English naval men nt Jamaica nnd the French navy if It cares to send a ship and ccw from Martinique for the purpose.
