Spain has ceded the Philip pines, nnd no other I'Imopeaii power has any right or inteiest in them, or, for that matter, in any othet of the inlands cf tl e Pacific, save whole it has alieady established Its authority. The Monroe doctrine has nothing to do with the islands of tho Pacific 01 with th" continent of Asia, c:cept so far as the latter is alieady occupied by tho 12m or can powers Neither Asia not the Pji-iflp islands weie in con templation when it was promulgated, and there has been no authoritative deelaiation of their Inclusion so far as we are aw aie.

The mustering out of the volunteeis whoso terms of enlistment will eplie in another vear, will lender it necec' rnry that the aimy should be equipped and prepaied foi seivlce in any clime nt the end of twelve months, If pot be foie. There is no question that if the iccmlting oiilcers selected the light nelghboi hoods and looked principally ut the physical requliements, many thou sands could bo added to the fled num ber and bo made up of men who aie anxious to become soldleiH In keep ing up the small army In the pant the reciuiting olilceis have been able to ex ercise tho utmost caie in the selection of men, and the rules made it almost Impossible for any save men of excel lent education to enter the service. Upon several occasions duilng the past few yeais reciuiting station for tho United States aimy have been es tablished In Scranton, but only a few men have been secured until the war with Spain began. I'nder the legula tlons In times of peace the volunteer was obliged to possess an education above that of the average woi king man, ns well as phyfieul lequliements, in order to be accepted. As theie aie few physical and Intellectual giants In any localltv who desire to enter the aimy, the lecrults weie few. The oili ceis in chaige stated at each visit that they could have secured hundieds of blight young men of good habits who were admirable specimens of munhood physically, but were obliged to i eject the applicants on account of lack of education. It l to be hoped that these rules will be modified In futuie In order to give the honest tollers In the crowd ed industiial centers an opportunity to outer the service of tho government If they wish to do so.

Honor Snga3ta has been Quoted as acknov lodging that Spain has been re lieved of a treat burden bv the loss of the Philippines and the acquisition of tho twenty million dollar balm offer ed by the United States, but he has a feelltiff that is anything like friend ship for the nations of Euiopo which he thinks should have Interfered and prevented the foi cert, sule of the IsWnds. Ho proposes at tho proper time to get oven with his false friends on the other side nnd hopes also that America may leceive punishment Tho inhabitants of tho Philippines are ex pected to Indict tho lattci. As an evi dence that the premier is really In earnest and is on the right track he states' "We shall work cnoigetically to leconquer our position by moans of good ndminlsti atlon, which Is the basis of wealth. Internal leform will bo the base of my progiamme nnd of the pro gramme of every jaity leader tiuo to Spain " Tills is ccitalnly the most hopeful In dication thai Spain Is not irretrievably lost. In this Held there is gieat work In store for Sagasta and Ills succcssois. If i Is pos"ll)le for the mlnlsteis of the kingdom to teach tho nation to be honest and give the people an econom ical government theio are no doubt brighter days in store for Spain. An official leport of the Fhafter Scovel one-iound affair is now in or der. The Last Ditch. Of the many Illusions by which the silv elite demagogues seek to delude their follow eis, tho most egregious is that in which they allege that the re sources of this country are pledged to ledeem paper money and depreciated cuirency of oveiy vaiiety hitherto in vented. The "resources of this coun tty" arc not hypothecated for nny such purpose, nor is it possible to do so un der any conceivable conditions. Tho "resources of tills country" is a very vague and indefinite term. But le duced to its simplest proportions, we take it to mean the general wealth of the country, that Is to say its ac cumulated wealth, capable of being capitalized at a longer or shoiter no tice. If thib is what tho demagogues mean by the "resources of the coun tiy," then it is plain that in order to insure tho stability of a depreciating paper or silver cuirency a resort must be had in the ultimate Issue to con fiscation. The "resources of the coun tiy," wltli the exception of government lands, aie in the possession of private individuals, who are no more bound to pledge; their good3 and chattels In ledemptlon of a depreciated cuueney than they are to give them away for nothing. Taxation in all civilized coun. tries is a Mist chaige on puvate re sources for national defense anu the secuilty o life and property. Tlieie is a limit to the amount of money to be lalsed in this manner, even In such unconscionably taxed and pauperized countiies as Italy, Spain and Turkey, or even in such rich countries as Great Erltan nnd Germany, where, as In London, municipal taxation some limes exceeds half the annual lental value of ieal estate. No government ever yet undertook to pledge the re sources of the country to maintain a depi eclated curtency at par. Tho thing Is almost unthinkable and cer tainly unworkable. It runs counter to the great law of self-preservation. All the government can do for this purpose is to borrow money to mulntair. its leseive of gold to meet Its paper and dt monetised currency at their face value, a value which was paid for it It is tiue that tho money collected to pay the inteiebt on these bonds Is lalsed by taxation, yet only the Inteiest and so much of tho piluciple Is icpie scnted by the amount of the depiecla tlon If theio was no depieciation tlieie would be no occasion for bor i owing Money does not evapoiate out of our treasuiy. Eveiy cent of it Is held to strict account. We must not, of course, confound the opera tions of the treasuiy as tho national banker, with tho expenditure of the government This is the only country In which the government acts as tho national tieasuiei. It Is an expeii- ment, und a very successful one as It has tinned out so far. There is a limit and a vety uairovv one, to the plenary povveis of gov ernment meeting a depreciated cur rency with national bonds In exchange for gold It reached that limit dui lng Piesldent Cleveland's administra tion. Such a method of sustaining a do pi eclated cuneucy Is unjust and In qultous. It is a tax on thilft and ln dustiy. Outside of this country hls toiy affords only pne such parallel When the Hank of England closed Its doois In 17S9, William Pitt pledged the government to sustain tho ciedlt of that institution. Mark you, he did not pledge the "jesouices of the count! y" He had no power to do so, If he even thought of stall an Im possible thing Tho panic was allayed, the bank opened its doors, never In all human probability to close them again In such a contingency. Kings have pledged their crown Jewels to ralso money , Ercderlck the Gieat converted his pluteinto thaleiii, but the resources of the country could not be touched In opposition to the will of the people for such a puipose, or fot uny put pose. National resources and national credit aie to a certain extent convertible tcims. When tho national credit be comes depreciated, the national resour ces remain, but they are not immedl- ately available. Credit Is the soul of commerce and prosperity. We are eter nally extolling our Inexhaustible na tional resources. We ate Justified in doing so. Wo began practically to re constitute our national existence after the civil war with all our lesourcrs In tait, but fearfully disorganized and demoinllzed. It was u time which tried men's souls, as even the war had not done. It is with a countty ns with nn individual. The one must live on from day to day ns tho other, with foresight and circumspection. Titty cents vvoi th of sliver does not make u dollar, never has nnd never will make a dollar. A government stamp on pap er does not make money. No amount of sophistry or cant will get over these facts. They nie as indellibly written In our natural laws as that two sides of a triangle aie greater than the third. The "resources of this count! y" are not pledged to nny such monumental folly in nbctting u. government to ruin the credit und good faith of the peo ple with their nelghbots all over the earth. Even the meteorological or ns tiologlcal Impostors refrain from pledging the resources of tho sun to bring us vvnim weather In December. Richard Croker and other heavy stockholders in the Democratic syn dicate have decided that Representa tive Unlley, of Tejias, shall no longer lead the mlnoilty in the house.

Gencial Wood says that there has not been a niurdei at Santiago since he became responsible for the govern ment of tho city.

"In all the discussion about Con gressman Uoberts, of Utah," says an exchange, "tho latter Is not saying a word" Certainly not. A man with throe wives does not need to do much talking.

NEWS AND COMMENT Captain Whltrcy, of the staff of General Milt.', who made the military reconnais sance of Forto Rico and lurnlsltcd tho material upon which the plan of cam paign was baied, owes his life to a young woman attendant In a photograph gal lery at Ponce. Whitney had spent a month In Porto Rico In various disguises, pilnclpally a: a sailor fiom a British merchantman, and wore a shabby sea man's dress. He kept his notes and mem oranda carefully sewed under the collar on tho back of his shirt. One dny as he was making pieparations to leave for tho united States he went into a photograph gallery at San Juan to buv such views as ho could lir.d of tho harbor and forti fications and various places along tho eoust. Watching her opportunity, n younir 1'orto Rican girl who was employed In the place, whispered lo him that tha Spaniards were looking for an American spy who was dlsguled as a sailor, and hinted that he had tetter not bo seen on tho street. Whttr.ey thanked her for tho Information, but assured her that they could not be looking for him because ho was an Englishman. He made good use of the warning, however, und concealed himself untii dark, when he rowed out to an Encllsh ship in tho harbor and pei- suaoea the sailors to stow him awnv. Tho first thing Captain Whitney did when he returred to Porto Rico with General Miles was, says W. E. Curtis, who tells this story, to call upon his unknown friend in tho photograph gallery. She did not recogi.lzo him at first with a sha ven face and a gllt-cdged uniform, but re called the Incident as soon as It was men tioned, and said that she was confldent he was tho nan tho authorities weio looking for nnd bad given him the warn ing because her sympathies were witn the Americans. Spain's war loss is thus estimated: Twenty-one warships. Two armies defeated nnd captured. Cuba, 4'2,(Xi5 squaro miles and 1,000,000 In habitants.

The probabilities are that the foicgolng fBtlmato underrates the war loss of tho United States If wo tako into account dis turbance of business, piobable cost of pensions, tc nevertheless tho balanco Is on the right side. "ot all Spaniards are vindictive At Guavatna. in Porto Rico, is a fine old ci thedral. the second finest In the island; nnd its padre is a benevolent old Spaniard gieatly beloved by his flock Trumbutt White, correspordlng for the Chicago Record, narrates this incident concerning tho veneiablo priest On Sunday morn li g at high mass oame a peculiar thing At tho end of the teivlce, for a leees slonal, tho oiganlst far up In the loft touched his keyj and through this old Catholic church In an obscuio village In Porto Rico thoro sounded "The Star-Span, gled Ranner" The variations Improvised were beautiful The melody ltelf was kept u little In the background, obscured a bit by tho florid music that accompanied it, but it was theio beyond a doubt. Per haps the Spanish woi shippers did not rec oentze tho untumlllar strains for what they wore. Tho Americans did. All over the chuich theie were American soldleis and ofllcers who had been present as wor shippers or spectators. When the Iden tity of the music camo to them thero vvero heads uplifted and bilghtcnlng eyes and glances of recognition that meant a great deal I hunted up tho old padre and asked him about It. "yes." he said, "It was Intentional I asked the oiganlst In the morning If he knew the American national hymn. He said that he did. so I askid him to piny It as n lecesstonal, I thought It would please tho Americans." It did pleano them, and the old priest could not have done, a more generous thing or one that would have been better appreciated, Tho president of the Pacific Cablo com pany. Mr. Ray lies, thus explains why tho United States needs a cable station In tho Caroline Is1aml:"ln laving a cable across the Pacific tho routo Is fiom San Fran cIfco to Honolulu, thenco to Guam, ot tho L-adroue group, and from tho latter to Manila. So far nil Is under tho Ameri can Hag, Honolulu, Guam and Manila be ing ours. The difficulty comes in tho stretch between Honolulu and Guam Hero is a dlstnuco of 3 310 knots. Of tho cables at present In existence the longest is tho ono recently laid down from Urest, l-'r.ance, to Capo Cod. Its length is 3,187 Knots, n is so heavy that experts have expressed eravo doubts ns to whether It enn bo raised nnd repaired If a break oc curs In deep water. It contains 600 pounds of i opper .and 40 pounds of gutta pcrcha to tho knot. If the weight ot tnis caDie, measuring 3,1C" knots. Imperils Its safety, ns experts believe, a cablo for tho longer distance, of 3b"l knots, fiom Honolulu to Gunm, would bo out of tho question. It would of necessity have to bo heavier than tho Trench cable, nnd In view cf past experience It is held that It would be hbtolulcly Impossible to lay nnd maintain It. It Is therefore nppaicnt that there must be a lnnding for tho cablo between Honolulu nnd Guam, so ns to shorten tho sections. This lnnding, to carry out tho purposo of communication under excluso American control, can bo on no other than territory owned by tho United Stntes." It Is probable that tho vear 1900, If not nn carliet one, will see tho last of canal boating in Pennsvlvnnic ns a means or transportation The next legislature is to bo petitioned to nuthoilzo the aban donment of that portion of the Pennsyl vania canal from Duncan's Island to New ton Hamilton, which was destroyed by tho floods of IfSt and has never been re- , uiuii.

As a matter of fact Spain got better teinis of peace firm the United States than sho has beer, accustomed lo. A correspondent of tho Sun lecalls that after her twelve years' war under Philip against England, Germany and Holland, though maintaining Philip's right to the throne, sho was obliged to cede rapes, Sardinia, Parma, Milan and all tho Neth erlands to Austria, Sicily and Savoy, w Ithout any money consideration. Under the samo treaty (Utrecht) she also ceded to England Gibraltar and Minorca, also without cash corsldcratlon. When she was compelled to cede San Domlnso to 1'ianeo as tho penalty for Joining In an alllanco against her, sho neither asked nor rccclv ed a sum of money for It. VV hen Ollvenza was ceded by Portugal to Spain, in lbOl, Spain paid nothing back In money or otherwise. In 1S02 when Spain ceded Trinidad to England, Parma to tho Cis alplnes, and Louisiana to Tiance, neither of them, from sympathy or In mercy for their conquered foe, paid back any raonjy or assumod any debts whatever. If the civilization of a people Is Indicat ed by tho extent to which they utilize the malls Pennsylvania, will need, as tho say ing goes, to get a movo on.

In tho eyes of foreign obscivers and of future hlstoilans, ourtccent contest with Spain will bo memorablo not only for its brevity, but also for the exceptional Im portance of Its results To find a paral lel for both tho quantity of territory and the volume of population transfo-red from ono sovereignty to another, we should havo to go back to the most successful campaigns of tho great Napoleon and to tho peaco of Paris, which ended tho Sever. Yeais War. Spain has lost pos sessions equivalent In area to about f.vo slxths of her own European territory, whllo we havo acquired a superficies ex ceeding that of the Italian peninsula and tho island of Sicily combined.
