The Sultan, who won't pav us what he owes, savs he admires from a dls tance the splendid efficiency of our guns. We ought to give him the bene fit of a closer inspection. The War's Trial Balance. An Interesting computation of the estimated cost of the war with Spain has been made by the New Yoik Sun, which puts the total at $943,600,000, sub divided ns follows: fun cut wot ex penses, $400,000,000; state expendltuies, 513,000,000, private contributions, $!&, 000,000; claims gi owing out of the war for which this government will be come responsible, $20,000,000; loss of soldiers' productive labor (estimated on the basis of 250.000 citizens withdrawn for one jear from peaceful Industry In which the average earning capacity is $400), $100,000,000; Interest on war debt to maturity. $10,000,000; pensions, $300,000,000 and the Maine, $3,000,000. Of these estimates the only one w hlch seems overdrawn Is the item relating to pensions, but It is based on the theory that at least one soldier will have been emplojed In the present war to. every ten soldiers employed In the armies of the Notth duilng out civil war. Pension expenditures growing out of the civil vat, nlicady made or in sight, aggregate $2,300,000,000, nnd tho Sun thinks that In view of .the gar rison duty which our troops will have to perform for long after peace Is de clared to a tenth of this sum may safe ly be added $30,000,000, bringing the cost of pensions In the present strug gle up to $300,000,000. "The nation," says the Sun, "Is not going to be less generous with the veterans of Its war vylth Spain than It has been In the past," which Is very true, but It Is to be hoped It will better protect Its gen erosity against abuse than it has hith erto been accustomed to do. Altogether it perhaps Is not far amiss to consider that to abolish the nuisance of Spanish sovereignty In our nelgh boihood and clean up tho tulns wll), by the time the work Is completed, have cost us at least a round billion dollars, not taking Into account expen ditures on police work and Internal Im provements In Cuba for which we shall expect ultimately to be rapald by the direct beneficiaries when they shall have come Into stable statehood. This Is one side of the account. The other will appear when, after reconstruction, we shall perceive how much our com merce with Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines will have grown in conse quence of our pan in fleeing those Is lands from bondage, and also to what extent the prestige coming to us by reason of the war with Spain will have facilitated the sale to foreigners of American manufactures. Omitting altogether as Inestimable in dollais and cents the moral consid erations Involved, It seems within bounds, judging from trade returns of the past, to predict that within five years our commerce with Spain's ex colonles will aggregate not less than $200,000,000 per annum and very pos sibly more. In 1892. under Spanish re- strlctlons, It was considerably more than half this sum; and If Ameilcan energy does not at least double 'Span Ish results in the gaiden isles It will bitterly disappoint oar expectations. At thld rate wo should soon be repaid. m . General Nunez, the Philadelphia Cuban who has given Spain more bother than all the rest of tho Jnsur gents put together, exhibits a sensible attitude when he says: "The Ameri can people have helped us do away with the hateful flag of Spain and it makes no difference what they will do afterwards, I will be grateful to them to the bottom of my heart." For twenty-two years General Nunez has, as he puts It, had always before his eyes the horrible eight of a Spanish scaffold as a punishment (or the crime of loving nnd serving Ills country. He lins taken part In three revolutions, been Ave times Imprisoned find loit two hi others In the war, and now ho proposes to retire forever from politi cal strife. He ndvlscs his countrymen to put all their fnlth In the Justice and magnanimity of the American people, to Ehow patience In adversity and, In the hope of n new destiny, to banish from their minds the bitterness of the past. Terhaps Agulnnldo'a skepticism of American Rood fnlth Is a fruit of Mug wump literature. It will bo remem bered that we have Agulnaldos of our own. Human Salamanders. When the monitor Monndnock reach ed Hawaii It was discovered that one of her stokers had gone Insane. Dur ing tho long trip across the Pacific he had been frequently prostrated by tho tremendous heat In the boiler room. His hands nnd nrms were a mass of blisters; his constitution had been wrecked, and, ultimately, his mind gave way. When tho antecedents of this urffortunate man were Inquired Into, It was found thdt ho had followed a professional cnteer at San Francisco, when, at the outbieak ot the war, he volunteered his services for the navy. This was the work for which ho was thought suitable, and which he accept ed without a mutmur. This Is only one out of huudicds of similar instan ces which might be adduced. They nie an Index to tho American charac ter In small as In groat affairs. It wns by the uncomplaining endurance of these heroes that our great Ictorlcs In the war have been gathered. The achievements of a Dewey, a Ilobson or a Schley ate known to all men. But without the co-operation and instru mentality of the human salamanders In the stoke hole and tho engine loom, the Ictorlcs could not have been won. It will be remembered that before Ccr veru made his bold dash out of Santi ago harbor, ho supplied his firemen with unlimited quantities or drink. Even with this false stimulus of evan escent courage, tho olllcers found It necessary to stand with their firemen and coal passers at their posts of duty with loaded levolvers In their hands. The firemen In our ships were not In position mote favorable. In fact when the battle became a rout and most of our battleships were steaming under forced draught the temperature nt the boiler's mouth must have been Infer nal in its Intensity. But the American stokers needed neither grog nor co ercion to do their duty. During the battle tho Amphltrlte re coided a temperature of 120 degices fnhrenhelt In the engine room and 14S degiees In the fire room. The Tenor leports 140 degrees In tho engine room nnd 133 In the Hie room, while In tho case of Cincinnati the tiemendous tenv perature of 203 degrees had been sus tained, only seven degrees actually less than the boiling point. These figures w ill give a faint Idea of the tempera ture at which our fliemen sometimes woik below. In tropical latitudes the air pumped into the fire room Is often Itself 100 degiees fahrenhelt. so that the current of fresh air wafted Into the stoke hole reaches n, high tempet ature Itself. To be at ease on an older down couch In such heat would be a tremendous strain, more enervating than nn ordlnaty man could endure for any length of time. But the poor fltcman must endure It and wotk labor iously as well. The lion plates of the flreioom nre burning hot; the coal rake with which he draws nnd backs his Are would be unendurable In hands that were not calloused by long usage and sustained by binvvny muscles, His pay Is not more than that of an ordi nary laborer, and his watches run to four hours on nnd eight hours off; that Is, he has an eight-hour day of slavish woik In a temperature In contrast to which the air In a summer kitchen dur ing dinner preparations is icfieshlng and buoyant. It is maivolous what a man Is capa ble of enduring when put to the su preme test. How- adaptable he Is to extremes of heat and cold, while as a normal living animal ho Is susceptible to the slightest barometric variations In his environment. Stranger still is the fact that a man coming from a temperate zone, after a short proba tion. Is less likely to succumb to In tense heat or cold than natives of re gions where perpetual sunshine or cold reigns. The engineers on steamships sailing through the Red sea find It nec c&saiy to place wire netting over the entrance to the stoke hole to prevent Lascars from jumping overboard, while a European professional fireman never thinks of committing suicide. Yet the Lascars nie recruited fiom the Arab Ian shores of the Red sea. We are glad to note that the work of the stokers will not be forgotten by the administration. Their work Is no less dangerous than that of the men on deck, If It is not more so. The most vital part of the ship Is In the boiler and engine rooms. Naturally they are the bull's eye nf tho enemy. There Is little or no chance of escape for the firemen. These human sala manders, when their ship. Is going through defeat, are either roasted alive, scalded alive, or held like rats In a trap until the waters of a merciful oblivion put an end to their suspense and suffering. Correspondents of the Washington Star are beginning to see rainbows on the moon. We were afraid this war excitement would prove too much for the inhabitants of tho national capital. Old Glory Over Guam. Yesterday's Sun printed a stirring tvvo-pago letter descriptive of the cap ture by the Charleston, en loute to Manila, of the Spanish Island of Guam In tho Ladronos, Tho main facts have alieady been reported by cable fiom Hong Kong, but there Is one passage In this graphic mall version which seems worthy of reproduction. It de scribes the raising over Guam of the Stars and Stripes: At the southeast corner of the terre plcln there rises the wreck of an old flag staff. On that flag start the flag Captain Glass had taken from the Charleston was hoisted. Lieutenant Rraunersreuther, who had been left In command on the rrulser while the captain and executive officer were away, had wigwagged over to tha Australia and the Peking to keep watch with him for the first appearance of Old Glory nbovo the ruined battle ments of Santa Cruz, tho bands on tho two troopships wcro ready, nnd tho crews were nt tho saluting guns on tho cruiser. Tho clouds had broken away and tho har bor nnd Its hill Btood out clear and sharp In tho early afternoon. The old gray fort, In Its setting of green grass and shrub bery, marked the foregiound. Over this grny-grccn spot In tho blue water roiio tho radiant glory of the Stars nnd Stripes. As the first glint of color above tho bat tered parapet caught the eve of Lieuten ant nrnutifrsreuthcr ho cavo tho order to salute tho United States flag. A thun dering roar from tho forward 6-Inch gun of tho Charleston' starboard broadside battery wns tho llrst response. Instantly tho port gun answered. Tho cchocH beat back from tho cocoanut covered cliffs nf Oroto peninsula nnd flung themselves ngalnst tho hills on tho mainland of tho Island. Rack they came, diminished In forco but Increased In number, und cnURht the deep booming of tho guns as the Charleston continued tho salute. Soon all the harbor was tilled with noise, and occasionally, ns It died down a bit, camo the strains of the "Star Spangled Ban ner" from the two transports, and tho ring of eager cheers from tho thousands of soldiers nnd sailors who watched the beautiful ling rise to Its place nt tho top of tho stnff nn'd float out over the old fort. Tho Island of Guam wan formally In possession of tho V tilled States. Six thousand miles to the westward tho starry banner hnd been pushed nt one stride. When It rises over Manila and the Philippines never to be hauled down, as this expedition hopes the sun will never tet on "the land of tho frco und the homo of tho brave." Great Britain and Russia. The close of the war between the United Stutes and Spain Is more than probably tho piecursor of n moio san guinary nnd terrific collision between Great Britain and Russia, tt Is not to bo supposed that It will bo confined to these two great rowers alone, for midable ns they are In men nnd naval armaments. Russia will drag France Into the maelstrom of her International complications, nnd Great Britain, with out Intending It, or altogether desiring It, and certainly not seeking It, will have Japan on her side. The Tribune some few months ago predicted that this war was Inevitable. Everything thnt has since occurred has more than Justified our anticipation. Terms of ngi cement bctweer. Fianco and Eng land In West Africa were bolstered up through Loid Salisbury's repugnance to going to war In a question which ho Individually regaided ns of the slightest Interest to his country. He believed, and we think rightly, that to enter upon war to settle a boundary dispute over mangrove swamps In nn African Jungle would be not alone In opportune but criminal, when the con tending parties vero two countries which ought to be friendly, and to which civilization is under the most lasting obligations conjunctively. The Prime Minister believed there was loom enough., and more than enough, In equatorial Africa to satisfy the ambition of European colonies it they would only take their time and see how little In the end there was to be gained by precipitancy and blood shed. Lord Salisbuiy's good sense and tatlonal pieeepte prevailed until the advent of the Chinese Imbiogllo. There Is no question that however willing Englishmen were to submit to Lord Sallsburj's pacific Inclinations In coming to an agreement between Eng land nnd France in tho Niger basin, the arc, one and all, determined to submit no further to Russia's en croachments In China. There is no nation on the face of the globe so eas ily led Into a panic as the English. It Is not that Englishmen are afraid of the Integrity of their national exist ence, although even that sometimes causes them qualms; lmt they fear the overwhelming predominance of Russia In tho East as an unrelenting anil unscrupulous antagonist, seeking not teirltorial aggrandizement merolv, lmt the overthrow of their commercial and maritime suptemacy. Russia fears, and has good reason to fear, tho Btiength of Gieat Britain on sea. The naval Eupiemacy of England in tho Mediterranean Is undisputed and In disputable. Russia's gioat Tranfc easpian rail v ay Is not yet completed All her Asiatic fighting tioops would have to be dragged by long weary stages ncioss the steppes and deserts of Central Asia under exceptional and perhaps Insurmountable difficulties, Tho supposition that Russia could successfully attack England on tho Hindoo Kush, or force her way through the Himalayas is preposterous In the opinion of those who know that great and impregnable strategical position. England has a professed friend, ally and pensioner In the Ameer ot Afghan istan, not by any means a trusty and faithful potentate, but one upon whom it Is thought England may rely in any deployment of the Muscovite In the northern territories on her Indian em pire. We may as a matter of fact ex pect tremendous fighting In Chinese waters, peihnps within measurable distance of the Philippines. The great onset, however, will not he In China, but befoio Sebastopol and on tho shotes of the historic Cilmea In the Black Sea. England will possibly foico the Dardanelles, occupy Constantinople, and hunt the assassin Abdul Hammed bag nnd baggasje out of Euiopo, just as wo have touted the Spaniards from thu American continent. Wo do not believe that we arc look ing too optimistically on England's potential possibilities In war. For eigners aro too apt to accept her turn ing desire for peace as conscious Im potence or timidity. But that Is not so. Her naval stiength is unquestionably enormous, and where she strikes with its full strength, it will carry with it fatal effects The feelings of the Amer ican people toward Russia are those of sincere friendship. But tho cause of civilization stands or should stand for something among a civilized people. The unbounded territorial aggrandize ment of a seml-cIvlllzcd nation like Russia is haidly to bo looked upon with entire equanimity by the com paratlvely small fraction of tho human i ace that has evolved the arts and sci ences of civilization out of barbarism. The prevailing and sovereign Idea of Rusblan autocracy is that democracy Is a failure and a blunder, and that nothing can save it from anarchy but tho religious nnd political mission of cacsarlsm In church and state. A con flict hetwejn tho Anglo-Saxon and) Slav is Inevitable in the nature of things and perhaps the sooner It Is fousht nnd settled the better It will be for the future progress of civilization. Why the Yankees Defeated the Pons. From the Outlook. n D.M1RAI, ERBEN'S phrase, "the A man behind the gun," has como to ll be accepted as the explanation of f-i 'he extrnordlnnry efficiency which u u brought tho Oregon through four teen thousand miles of sea nnd carried her Into action without tho delay of a day for repairs; which has manocuvercd fleets In perilous circumstances, In hostile harbors, along rocky coasts, without a single accident; which has never lost nn opportunity or missed the purpose of tho enemy; which hns made every gun dead ly, not only In accuracy of aim, but in rnpldlty of discharge. Intelligence so swift nnd sure has commanded tho In stant recognition of naval experts tho world over, nnd It Is now freely conceded that, ship for ship nnd gun for gun, the Amerlcnn navy has no equal. o This superiority Is not duo to better nr mor, heavier guns, and more thorough equipment. It Is duo to tho man behind tha gun. Wnr still has Its chances, but It has become mainly a contest of skill. Tho men on the American ships are not braver than tho men on the Spanish; the Spaniard is us icaily to go to tho bottom as tho American; ho seems to bo even more Ind'ffctent to drain. But tho American Is a trained man and the Span lard Is not; tho American has been edu cated to do his work, not only courage ously, hut with tho utmost effectiveness; tho Spaniard does his work no better than he did It on tho Armada. He knows how to die. but ho does not know how to live; nnd so for four centuries men of English blood have outsailed, outinanoeu cred, and outdone him with shot an J shell. Tho man behind the gun made the vic tories of Manila nnd Santiago, on sea nnd land, possible; but what made the man? Education mado him This Is not a war of arms, but of training; It Is knowledge against Ignorance, skill against incom petence. Behind the American Is the school, and the school has been the real victor In these brilliant exploits. Behind tho American soldier nnd sailor stand West Point and Annapolis true nurseries of trained men The pernicious Idea that ono man Is ns good ns nnother. no matter what dlftcrince3 of tininlng exist between them, hns never received a morn crushing blow than in the history of this war. Match man against man, ether things being equal, and the trained man holds success In the hollow of his hand. o Courage, character, health, rcadlnest to work, are all essential to success; but without speelllc skill In doing a specific thing they leave a man ns Ineffective ns a locomotive which Is derailed. The pluck of the men on our ships Is mngnlticcnt, but It was not pluck which destroved the Spanish fleet In the harbor of .Manila and In that hot chase along tho southern coast of Cuba; It was gunnery training at An napolis and gunnery practice on the hlgn seas. American alertness and readiness nre very effective qualities, but thej can not rain balls with unerring accuracy on the decks of a living ship at a distance of a mile and a half. That deadly cer tainty of reach und force was gained by long, patient, wearisome drill; the dull drudgery of practice against tho monot on of which tho American temperament so often revolts. Relnfoice American alertness with tho skill of ee, hand, and bralp which comes from Infinite patience In practice, nnd jou secure the man cf skill trained to succeed under nil condi tions; Icavo the American alertness un disciplined, and you ptoduce the man who may succeed If conditions nre favorable. The future belongs to the most thorough ly educated race, for education Is the key to tho wisest ue of the mateilals and processes of nature and of life. o It will be said, however, that character rather than training Is the key to success on land nnd ica, but what Is character but tho final result of educational pro cesses' Back of the sailors and soldiers In both armies nnd both navies are the people from whom they arc drawn; and the d'ffercnces between these peoples are largely differences of educational oppor tunity. In Spain, the inquisition, or the splilt which It bequeathed, In America, the public school. In Spain, icprcsblon of Individual energy, suppression of Indi vidual action, limitation of indvldual knowledge, In America, steady encourage ment of Individual effort, rich reward of Individual energy, tho open door to every kind of knowledge. In Spain everything Is done to suppress Individuality; In Ameilca everything is done to liberate it. In bpalr. instltutloml life keeps men Ig norant; in America Institutional life is a national cdurution. o Tho political character of the English speaking peoples is the product, In large measure, of tho education of a free poli tical lite. Thete may be a race Instinct nt tho root of It, but Its development Is tho rich result of 1 000 years or constnnt appeal to Individual Intelligence, energy, nnd effort, Such an education goes deep because it Is so largely unconscious; it accumulates an immense capital of force. The man born Into such an educational inheritance starts In life at an Immenso advantage; for ho Inherits the aptitudes and opportunities which tit him for the most effective use of special training. Behind the man at the gun is not only the technical school which makes him an ex pert in its use; there is also that magnifi cent school of tradition, inheritance, po litical order, and access to knowledge vvhlcli give him steadiness, alertness, a quick ce, and an organism which Is the responsive instrument of his mind. Fltst. the man, fashioned by the deepest educa tional influences; tecond, tho gunper, trained to do his work with consummato skill that Is tho moral of tho war. o Ho who runs may read! The discipline which tits a man to handles a gun with such preclblon and agility that no ship can live long under his Are must bo paral leled In every kind of work if the great icsourccs of tho American continent aro to bo husbanded and tho great forces of American character mado effective. The country needs more nnd better education in tho professions, in business, In agricul ture, In manufacturing, In mining, In finance. It cannot succeed in the tre mendous competition for commercial su premacy In tho modern woild, nor In the working out of Its own destiny, by native sagacity und alertness alone; It must command nil the resources of bdence nnd ot technical skill. It must have better educated men In its public life; more thoroughly trained men In Its civil ser vice; more adequately equipped lepte sentatlvcs abroad. It costs as much to build a modern cruiser of tho first class as to organize and endow a college; tho cruiser goes tho way cf all things mado with hands; tho college is Imperishable. Tho country needs the cruiser for the present; but It needs still more that edu cation which makes tho cruiser Invincible. Tlio brutalities of wnr cannot outlast tho twentieth century; In tho nobler rivalries of peace tho school, tho college, and the university nro to bo tho nurseries of those, higher skills and successes which enrich nnd broaden tho civilization of the race. The future belongs to tho nntlon which learns tho truth and makes the most of It. EQUAL INTEREST RATES. Philadelphia Record, President Hepburn, of the New York State Rinkers' useociatton, In his annual address at Niagara Tails, spoke of tho need of legislation to adapt our banking system to the changed and growing com mercial wants of the country. To his view "a proper remedy for the evils com plnlned of by the South and West is no: to bo found by waging wnr upon iha existing banks, but by the ettahlislinicnt of more. They need competition nnu greater facilities for exchange.

Thus would the interests ot both sections, and all sections of the countrj, be conserved." There is lood for thought in this sui;geJ tlon, and likewise In the further Ideas ad vanced by President Hepburn that tho present war has done much to obliterate sectional feeling, at.d that nothing would do more to perfect and strengthen this good work than tho equalization of rates of Interest throughout the country.
