This would have ob v latcd mlsundei standings and made the natives to iealiz that the pioposed change weio not for the benellt of any body else than themselves. The expeilence of General Wood at Santi ago emphasizes this point. He had to combat the same ineilia. but he used tact and force In unison and his sin -cess Is gi initially winning both lecog. ultlon and uppieciatlou fiom tlie Cuban people, notably the better element. The task befoie the government and people of the rnlled States In Cuba Is unquestionably a big one. It will ie quire courage and patience, persevei ance and gilt.

Our Merchant Marine. The war between the foiled States and Spain has effectively nettled sev eral niattcf that have been hitherto legal ded ns mote or less crnjctual or theoretical, but none mme cle.irlj than the need nnd nlue of n merchant "ship ping ot our own. The effectiveness of auxiliary itul-ers, thelt nvnllablllty, their irvkeableness, have been assert ed with ability and pnslslence by those best qualified to speak, for many years, but ihe war with 3pnln was needed to demonstrate the truth of these claims. It Is Hue that them were only a few steamships under the American Hag capable of being transformed Into aux iliary ciulsers, but these few. when the er'sls caul", weic effective, indrcd, In valuable. They weie casilv and quick ly trnnsfoimod fioni peaceful mer chantmen into seiviceable emlrers, and stopd second onlv to our tegular navy in the value of their sctvUea.

Hail we been at war with a lirst class naval power. It Is quite Improbable that we should U have bicn nble to sectae a single for eign vessel for the use of our govern ment. Tlie lack of trained Ametlcan seamen and (heincr was a most borlous one dining the whole of the war, and, while P was possible to secure the services of aliens, especially in some of our aux'llaij cruihcrs, that veiy success admo'ilshf s us of our danger.and clear ly shows how close to disaster wo wi re, and how great disaster would probably have beep had our enemy been one of the leading powers. We aie no longer permitted to sneer at the suggestion that war with n Uti rcpean power Is a possible contingency. The national duty Is to lecognize it as a possibllltj nt any time, and It is equally the national duly to prepate for it In every way possible, Hence it is clear that, next to the lapld Increase in our navy, the nation s most piesslrs need Is fui a men hunt inailne capable ot promptly and effectively meeting any emergency with which th" nation ma be confronted. While the perfeetlen of laws for the government of our new possessions win piobably engago the attention of con giess foi a long lime to come, It is ob vious that It eapnot postpone for a moment the adoption of such laws us shall Induce Ainerlinn capital to go Into slilpownlnc: and as shall attract to our nieiehant marlre our own citizens, to the end that both may bo drafted into the service of the coveinment at a moment':! notl e, without discussion or hitch.

The good woil; which has been done by Oeneral Wood and his assistants p ihe piovince uf Santiago Is a specimen of what the mllltaiy aim can do In nn emergency when wisely directed.

After expressing willingness to try for re-election next sptlng on the above platform Mayor Hoos complacently awaited the. approval of the public. Public Rfliitlmcnt, however, took the form of u shower of brickbats, to to speak, and the mayor with original Ideas was almost pamlyzed by tho cry of piotest thnt arose fiom good citizens who claimed the right to be Indignant, liy personal apologies to Ihe clergy and the temperance work eis and good older advocates generally Mayor Hoos has succeeded in getting pei mission to lemaln In this city, but be has lost hope In what once prom ised to be a bright political future, and counsels all aspirants for office to stick to the paity tiadltion.i here after when mupping out a plutfornu What Is this" A Havana dispatch says the Amc-tknn troops nt Mailanao nie we'l but warm, the latter because clad In heavy winter clothing.

Prom tho Philadelphia Time, Thn war with Spain, that covered a pc rlod of but llttlo ixccedlng onu hundr-d days, ban shaped a new dmtlny for tho t'nltcd Stutes that Is Inexorable. The 01I70 as we may, and strongly ns our tra ditions nnd declatcd purposes plead ngnlnst tcnltorlal expansion beyond thu continent, u new dcstltiv has been shaped for us by a power vastly greater than ourselvis. o Wo will tako tho Pliillpphi Ir.lands bc causo It seems not possible for us to take any less than tho whole of them. We do not need them, we do not want them, but we could do no less than retain Luzon nnd that iiecjs-itateH tho expulsion of thn Spanish flag fiem all tho Islands. There can bo no divided authority there, and wo will take possession of all tho Philippines because It Is an impcilous recesslty, and Spain will concedo them to us for the s.imo rearon. Wo have pos session of the leading Island of the I.a- droni3 and one supposed to be of great value. That means tho absolute contiol of all of them so far ns It shall be neces sary to exercise authority. Wo have ac quired the Sandwich Islands by annexa tion, nnd these new acquisitions In tho Pacific bring us, for the first time In our national history, in close relations with the great powers of the old world and blend our Intel csts Inseparably with them. Spain has ceded to us Porto Hlco, the most valuable of her West Indian possessions excepting Cuba, nnd Cuba will sooner or Inter, and soon nt tho latest, become a p.ut of the United States Tier Independent government will be or ganized under mi American protectora'o that must speellllv Americanize nil tho material Interests of Cuba, and annexa tion will become n !icce.lty because the people of Cuba will demand it as did tho people of Texas. -o Stub aio our new nosscss-lons. all ot which are entirely outside of the iong-d"-clated policy of tho republic, but the des tlnv has been shaped for us and we could not escape It If we would and would not now escape It if we could. The people of tho country will hcaitlly sustain the gov ernment In accepting the new destiny shaped for us by the Spanish war. One of tho llrst duties of the government will be to hasten the const! action of the Nica ragua canal, that has always been a greit want for tho commercial nations of the world, and that has now become a su premo necessity for our government. With the consti action of a canal, an Am erican cable line is nn absMute necessity from Manila to the I.adrones, thence to the Sandwich Islands nnd thence to San Francisco, together with an exclusively American cable Un. to Havana nnd Potto Itlco. o This new destiny that has been lire vocably shaped for u. although neither sought nor desired by the people of this government, must bring with it new du ties and new responsibilities which must be accepted in the broadest nnd most en. lightened spirit of statesmanship. These now possessions must bo ruled for some years by tho military power ot the gov ernment, and their great centers must bo garrisoned by American armies, chiefly or wholly enlisted from the natives, as Kngland does In India We must hence forth bo known and felt In nil the gieat International ouestlons affecting Europe, nnd wo arc safe in our new position by our insepaiable relations with the moth er country. It Is the beginning of tho flnat struggle for power between tho Anglo-Saxoii nnd the Latin races. No human power can prevent It and no in telligent observer can doubt that the Anglo-Saxon will practically rule tho world. Such In brief Is the new destiny shaped for us by the war with Spain. A GOOD NATUBED MAN. ltochester Democrat and ChronlcK President McKlnley s letter read a few evcnlngis ago at the banquet of the New ork chamber of conuneice, like all tho president's uttcianccs. Is distinguished tor Its courtesy and kindness ot tone, and es pecially for its cheery, hopetul spirit. The president Is in disposition and scntlmei" nn optimist. No one can cite a bitter, cynical or clespoi.clcnt woid that has fallen fiom his lips or pen. The whole Influence of hlr public utterances Is in tho direction of enroiiiaglng and stimulating the hopes nnd purposes of tho country. He has, a good word for every good cause; he sees tho silver lining even of every cloud. Ills faith In this country, n Its people, its re source! and Its destiny Is unbounded. To say this Is noi to say that ho Is Insensible to existing evils or the grave problems confronting tho nation. No one takes closer account of them than hr, but his broad, generous soul has a largo outlook, and while he knows that here and there a. mountain or a valley may be In the shadow, he sees the sunshine lighting up tho land and the futuu. o In his lettei the president says- "Never In the history ot the nation have we had cause greater than now for thankfulness in the Increasing prosperity of the people and In tho prospect of a future bright with promise. Tho great trndo organiza tions, the influential bodies icptcbcntlng tlie vast Interests of thoso who labor in the various ileitis of endeavor, have pre sented to them 1111 opportunity seldom vouchsafed tor the advancement of our material welfare and for the betterment of our Industrial conditions.
