Science has not jet conquered wholly thi rebellious elements nor enabled man to foretell with certainty the eoinliip; of calaelvsinal "tortus. When ehaneo I?! altogether eliminated It will be (line in hold these mariners to blame for sacrifice of propel ty and life at sea. The more timely though', for present conteniplallon Is how few nte the acci dents In this department of Inuiuii: ac tivity which can be dlrectely tracer! to neKlUencc or Incompetency lew act ually and especially few when put In I'onliast with the many thousands of steamboat passenuets who are annually r.irrlod In safety and comfort from port to port in spite of dllllcultles and perils which mlKht well excuse a larger forfeit. It Is neccsstay, In conslilerlnu: such tiusedles as these, to lemeinlier that ilesltuctlon of human life is one of the inevitable penalties of success. It Is a penalty of successful travel, of sucoes ful mlnlnc. of successful manufacture. The very bread of civilization Is baked from it dough moistened with the heart V blood of martyis. Not all the heroism is exemplified on the buttle ilelds; the ordinary war of mankind against natural dllllcultles which wins as Its Indemnities the things we call progress Is full of bravery and sulf sacrlllce and noble In Its records of high devotion to duty. All honor, then, to the sallor. slicing our New England main who went down in the storm with colors flying. Thev are martyrs In an evolution which we could not spare. It speaks well for Admiral Dewey that his warmest champions are the newspaper men wlio wore with him at Manila. A good reporter is rarely a. liero-uorshlpper unless the hero Is worth worshipping.

It will also be noted that, eliminating Spain, whose trade when this table was prepared was attlfleially propped up, the bulk of the business of these islands Is divided between Great Britnlu and the United States. Great Britain leading. A pief crentlal tariff scheme would therefore be a direct slap In the face of the one nation in Kurope whit it was our friend throughout the lateuupleusantness; the one nation which stands, besld" uv in Kastern policy and In diplomatic and commercial Intel ests. We could 111 af ford to forget so soon a friendship that saved us from many embarrassment If It did not actually prevent a hostile coalition of Kuropeun powers. If we give to England equal privi leges and then beat her out in fair and open competition, no one can complain. That Is what the administration evi dently propone, to do. A fight between District Mturney Shaffer, of Delaware, and Wert AV 1'leitn, esq,, of ibis city, for the de puty nttorn-.v genrrulshlp under the Stone administration would have one advantage. Xo matter which won, tliu commonwealth would be well served and the one who didn't win would cherish no III feelings. Currency Reform Can Wait. Tlie currency reformers are employ ing every energy in an attempt to In duce President McKlnley to cull an extra t.ession of cunuress after March I for the purpose of considering legls latlon looking to the retirement of the government from the banking business. Circular letters are being sent through out the country calling upon citizens favorable to currency roform to make a loud noise so as to convey to the president an Impression that the peop'e are clamoring for the legislation which theso gentlemen want. Thus fur, how ever, It must be confessed that public opinion has not been particularly re uponslve. Currency reform Is desirable. Tim odds and ends In our patchwork cur rency system some day should Iw picked up and harmonized. Tho spec tacle of three different kinds of gov eminent puper money in circulation alonsnide 1'ank notch Is suggestive of slouchlness, to say the leant. Such a variety or currency Is unnecessary unJ there are occasions when It becomes dangerous. To gradually retire these different forms of paper Initio and to put tho burden of maintaining a circu lation ns good as gold upon the banks which receive benefit from the note isHuinf privilege should be the put pose of congress, ns It Is the general desire of people who have given thousht to this subject. Hut there Is no frnntlc hurry; ccitaln ly none warranting tho calling of an extra session of congress for this pur pose solely. Tho last elections have made It certain that no nuccessful at tack can be made on tho gold stand ard Inside of eight years. The lliuttt clnl condition of tho government and Its credit among the nations were never better. AVe nre no longer it debtor na toti: the great recent growth In our ex port trade a growth seemingly only In Its infancy has already converted us Into u nation of creditors. The move ment of gold H heavily In our favor. Individual enterprise Is agan confident und enturesome. The volume of our bank "learlngs Is greater than ever be fore. Hvery sign along tho national horizon points unmlstaknbly to nn era of new and far-reaehins pioppetity be fore which the free silver bogie will slink away and disappear for at least u generation. Smh being the situation, what Is the need of hysteria In the matter of cur-r-Muy amendment 'J! other things Just now aie of far greater Importance. A letter fiom the pope to Archbishop I'orrlgan. leeently marie public, sttoug ly condemns the sepatatlon In the United Stutes of different nationalities Into Calholb congregations of their own, using a foreign language, und ut pes the amalgamation of these dif ferent elements Into one great body of Catholics, using the English lan guage above all other languages. U Is evident that the pope has been wifely anil pruriently advised. Sampson and Shatter. In the fare of the facts which are accumulating with reference to the Santiago campaign the conviction Is rapidly being forced that Major Gen oral William U. Shofter was a monu mental misfit. Tie seems to have been lacking In every quality of successful generalship save blind obedience to the war department. To that be pain ser vile homage; everything else went by the board. The correspondence between him and Admiral Sampson, made public this morning. Is only a pan of the evidence which Is now before the public to Shnfter's discredit. This correspond convicts Shutter of trying to throw upon Sampson's shoulder.! much of the blame lor his own shortcomings, ami is eorroboiated by the faei that Shut ter stands convicted of similar unfair ness toward General Garcia, a man who ran teach Shaftel more general ship than he ever dreamed of. In view of these things It is not surprising that Sylvester Snivel offers to prove by credible affidavits that In his notorious altercation with Shatter It was the lat ter who debased his uniform by con descending to strike the first blow in a first light with a newspaper reporter. It cannot be said that the American people were originally prejudiced agaliust Sliafter. The contrary Is true. He went on his mission to Santiago with the confidence and respect or ev ery fellow-citizen. But the sense of fair piny which Is so prominent nn American characteristic does not pro pose to let him escape from the severe Indictments which have been brought against his management of that cam paign on the plea that the successful termination of the campaign consti tutes a vindication. Unless he can show that these grave charges from numerous sources of entire respectabil ity are falsi! or Ill-founded, he will go down In history as the sorriest speci men of a general that has lately worn an American uniform. The report of the reeretury of the In terior shows that of an original total of l,:!ji),32:W7 : acres of public domain only 71,000,00a unoccupied ucies remain which are capable of cultivation. Ex pansion came Just In time. Mr. Chamberlain's Views. In the Dei ember number of Serlb ner's mugazlne tne British colcnlal sec ictnry, Joseph Chamberlain, expresses the belief that thrse who predict dis aster to the United States m Its new nde as a colonizing power undervuto the admlnlstratlV" capabilities of the English-speaking race He iu'dtes at tention to the fact that England, with tine-fourth our population and less than one-tenth our national resources, suc cessfully administers the affairs of hundreds of millions or people or al most every race under the sun with the smallest urm. of while soldleis ot any or the. powern of Europe. Thus in India, with .100,000.000 native population, olilv 70,1100 white soldleiv, are used, ami In Egypt, with li.000.003 population only a.rno soldiers, while in Ceylon, the Straits Settlement?, the British West Indies and West Africa not it "Ingle white regiment is em ployed, order being kept by native sol diers and police under the command of British officer;.'. Assuming that we run do as well, we "hall need In the Philippines, after ncium! conditions are restored, not moro than H.OOO to 5.0J0 American regnlais, and In Cuba and Porto Hlco none except officers. It Is Mr. Chamberlain's opinion, based on experience with which he Is Intimately familiar, that the dread In this coun try lest colonial responsibilities hould necessitate a career of tullltni hin cal culated to disturb tile equilibrium or republican Institutions has ab'oii"tly no basis. It Is true that England enjoys an advantage over us In the ract that hei colonial administrators are a specially educated class ot men to whom com paratively high salaries are paid nr.il who are not disturbed In their tenure or odlce by changes In home politics, but ii to retained during efl'.clency and retired on pension after a certain lim it of service. But our luck of this kind or a clas or public servants Is due soluly to the ract that hitherto wo have not needed such a tiuss. The need will call It Into existence, and we du not liuvci so poor nn opinion f the Yunkee wing of the English-speaking race as to believe that In any form of competition with the British people It Is necessarily and Inherently Inferior. It takes Mugwumps to believe that. General Woodford says that after the blowing up of the Mnlne, when he seemed to be dllly dallying nt Madrid und when public opinion In the United atntes wits dally abusing him and the administration for lack or spirit, he was under specific orders to temporize until ammunition could reach Dewey at Hong Kong and other necessary naval preparations for war bo com pleted. Ten days after he received word that things were reudy he called Tor his passports ami took train for home. This being true, we guess he will have to bo forgiven. Some one has figured It out that counting in her territorial losses and all, the war lias cost Spain over a billion dollars. Tlf estimate Is doubt less within the tnitli The war has, also cost us a ptetty sum, probably not much leys than u billion dollars when all our expenses are figured in. But It will bo worth tho cost to both nations if they shall prollt by their experience. And It must not be for gotten that the president, of tho United States gave Spain evcrv possible chance to avert war The Maiyland Steel company has Just sold steel mils In Indln ami Ireland in the fan- ot l.ritlsh competition. This certainly seems to be an American year. General Shatter, it Is said, Is prepar ing an elaboiate defense. He needs one.

Here Is a new Dewey story vouched fur by the Chicago Tlnies-llerald: Soon alter Major General Merrltt reached Manila be began to experience tronhle with the In tangents. Agiilnaldo was not disposed to pay mast bred to the general's otdeis. and the general complicated matters more or lesi by endi'iivorlng lo avoid any clash ing of the American with the Insurgent fences. The situation was becoming some what strained when General Merrltt sought a conference with Admiral Dewey on the Olympla. The general and the ad mlrai dlseusrcd the situation at great length, the former giving special atten tion to the question of jurisdiction In tho Philippines. At last Gcnetel Merrltt put this question to the admiral: "Admiral, how far. la our opinion, does your jiulsdictlo.i extend on the Island?" Ndml'nl Dewey took two short turns on the quarter-dec:; before nnsweilr.g. Then lie said: "General. m Jiiibdlcllon extends from as clou to shore as 1 can move these 11a' Irons," pointing to the American fleet, "to as fur Into the island as 1 can throw a shell." Domingo Mendcz Capote, former vice piesldent of the Cuban provisional re public, and now president of the execu tive commissi in representing the general assembly of the aimy. In an Interview f.t Havana, recently said: "The desire for Independence,, has never In en stronger among the Cuban people than at present and the country in this respect Is un shaken. If a. general plebiscite were taken today 1 believe !C, per rent, of tliu people of Cuba would vole for independ ence. At the same lime we recognize, that annexation to the I 'idled States Is in. evltable. We believe it will come nat urally, that It will be by the almost unani mous wish of the people, and that 'ho time will not be long befote tills wish Is expressed, but we deslie liist to ee es tablished that for which we have fought and for which so many of our br.ixest and lest have cl'"li their lives the republic ot Cuba. We believe the Inlteil States Is going to help us realize thin wish. We have faith and arc willinn to do every thing In our power lo entry out Us views. Whatee;- icpoits to the contrary ma be circulated, the Cuban V-ailers are in hearty accord with Ihe I'nlted States, and nre willing to accede to whatever miry be proposed by the American government." Postmaster Geneinl Smith, In ills an nual report, made public Saturday, says the rapid and amazing growth of th postal business Is Its most stlilcing fea ture.

It seemed to me while in Cuba that Spaniards were using every effort to discredit the Cubans In tho eyes ot Americans and lo III) their minds with suspicion and dlsttust of us by lying to each aboul the other." The total inunbei of all kinds of mr--chant ships undei the United States flag cm tVio P.0th nf June. 1SSS. was 22.703.

Admiral Schley accounts by four rea sons for Spain's poor showing In the le cent war: "Klrst. In believing soldiers could light who had not been fed; second. In believing in vigilance when there hud been no sleep; third, in believing tint sol diers could lie loyal when they had not been paid, and, fourth. In talking loo much."

Krom the Philadelphia Times. The re'ason why .Jhe Hough Riders fared better than the other volunteer reg iments was that they hnel a lieutenant colonel who bus n habit of getting there whatever the obstacles plated lu his way. When the regiment reached Tampa there was no one to show them a e-aniplng place. Roosevelt slmplv found the camp and all went well. When they were ar ticled lo Santiago Roosevelt took posses sion of the transport and held It against ab comets, and the .regiment reached San lingo. When they were yrnt to the front and got under fire they had to find the enemy, and all on their own responsibil ity. Their colonel thought the right tiling to do was te go ahead, and I hey won the fight. When the men got hungry Roose velt Invested his own money In the nec essary vegetables pressed the ollleers horses Into service to carry the food to camp, and the men were fed, and so on to the end of the chapter, rufortunately there was but one Roosevelt, and. as ho says, he was only a lieutenant colonel. JUVENILE CANDOR. Krom the 1'tlca Press. The small boy Is always a hero wor shipper and he shales with his adult compatriot In admiration for the man of Manila ba . This characteristic Is well Il lustrated by a story of a mission Sunday school teachei ami a youngster making his first appearance In her class. The teacher hail put him through a half hour ot more of instruction in the rudimentary principles, for be was entirely lacking In information on that point, mid to test him was rcvlewlrg her work with him. "Now," said she, "tell me again who made- Ihe world and all that Is In it?" "Clod did." replied the bov. with com- mendable promptitude "Ood can do ev- eryiiiiiig, can 1 lie: sue nsKccl again. The boy hesitated a moment. l don't believe1 ho can lick Dewey," he answeiel 11 1 lust, and his teacher sat silent be tween her religion and her patriotism. WESTERN ADVICE. Prom the Denve- Times. Kwryt'ilng points to the fact that the young man of today who masters the study of clectilcity Is the one whose ser vices will be In demand In the future. At best the nioelern man is out of elate after from flfli'en to twenty years of service in any mm line of business, lie finds It Im possible to keep step with the great ad vancement of the nee. and after that number of years of service must step out and let some jounger man with younger Ideas take up the thread ns he leaves It. In this age of electricity every, tiling Is electrical, even to tho movement of tho Individual, and the young man of today who proposes to fit himself for '.lie. futiirii could select no course giving surer promise of success than electricity and Its application to the future of the world OUR BUSY ADMIRAL. Piom the Times-Herald. Possibly when the war Is over Admiral Dewey may bo b iluteil to give the worbl 11 history o bis Asiatic campaign or a description of the Philippine Islund but not now. In reply to an offer of &i.i.oii from a. magiulne editor for an article on the Philippines the admiral cabled this laconic and characteristic rcplj "Thanks, but I am too busy." l-'or the present Ad miral Dowey considers that the scord Is mightier than the pen, und to preserve tlir context of the reversed aphorism, tho public know It to be In Ihe hands ol a man entirely great.
