The Reconstructed Thirteenth.
With yesterday's election of reKl
mental oMWrn the ivorRuntzation of
the Thirteenth may said to be com
plete. Knlrit'fred and reconstructed, Its
memheishlp reueentlnK a happy
'I'.end of veteran nnd volunteer, mid
nt Its head, In Colonel Wotres, u man
whose motto and performance are to
succeed In every enterprise undertaken,
the Thirteenth enters with bright pros
pects upon n new era In Its history of
splendid usefulness to the common
wealth and to Itself.
Tho war with Spain both closed nnd
openrtl an epoch In the Thirteenth's
history. It showed the error In a
scheme of organization not in harmony
with the composition of the regular
army: It revenled defects In tactics and
equipment which are marked for thor
ough remedy In the near future, but It
proved, above all, the Incalculable
worth of the National guard as a radi
ating center of military Instruction
amongst a nation of peace-loving civil
ians, nnd It gave opportunity for a
display of soldierly patience nnd hero
Ism among the volunteers enrolled
under the Thirteenth's banner which
will remain for nil time among our
most cherished local monuments.
The wai's close necessitated the re
construction which has since taken
place, but In spite of some new faces
the regiment, In spirit no less than In
name. Is still the old Thirteenth. It
will, in its modernized, three-battalion
form, recall to our community all that
lingers In traditions and glorious mem
ory about the eight-company form
familiar In the past; nnd It will more
over typify the spirit of enterprise and
expansion that Is to bo the dominant
note of the century so near to hand.
"We shall expect the new Thirteenth to
he to the Guard at large what the old
Thirteenth was to it when It led the
regiments In both state and nation;
nnd we do not think It Is extravagant
to promise Hint when this leadership is
established there will be no trouble
about Its getting that much-needed
new armory.
Pittsburg, which had only six repre
sentatives In tho Tenth regiment, sub
scribed the larger pait of tho $3.".O00
fund to pay for the regiment's recep
tion. Credit to Pittsburg for liberality
well bestowed.
"After the War, What?"
No one litis argued with clearer In
sight the question of America's duty
toward the Filipinos than Dr. Lyman
Abbott and in this week's Outlook there
appears from Dr. Abbott's; pun a no
table contribution to the current dis
cussion of this by no means exhausted
topic. "After the War, What'.'" Is the
apt title and the argument presented
Is bound to commend Itself to intelli
gent public opinion.
In considering what shall be our pol
icy toward the communities put by the
war In our charge Dr. Abbott empha
sises the Idea that there Is only one
tenable point of view the point of
slew of duty. Tho responsibility for
the protection of peison and property
in the Philippines having fallen into
our hands, he holds that we are In
honor bound to discharge it manfully,
to tho letter. "It was not the duty
of the Good Samaritan," says he, "to
leave his business and devote his life
i hunting for wounded travelers; but
when the wounded traveler's cry came
t' his ears, It brought a duty of hu
manity with it. The events of the
war laid both Cuba and the Philippines
in our pathway; to pass by on tho
other side and leave them to their fate
because It Is not for our interest to
aet them on their feet would bo only
one degree less criminal than to par
ticipate in the original robbery. We
are to ask ourselves, nut vhat Is our
Interest, but what Is our duty, nnd the
answer to that question Is plain now,
ns It was plain six months ago; It la
to protect life nnd property, preserve
order, suppress violence, establish Jus
tice founded upon law: lit short, to se
cure in both Cuba nnd the Philippines
a substantial government.' If the
armed revolutionaries In Cuba had at
tempted to prevent our fulfillment of
his obligation by force, It would havo
been our duty to disperse them by
force. So long as armed revolution
aries In the Philippines endeavor to
prevent our fulfillment of this obliga
tion by force, It Is our duty to disperse
them by force. This Is not a war of
onquest. nny moio limn dispersing tho
armed mob In Idaho is a war of cun
quest. It Is no more a violation of the
jrlnclple that Government rests upon
;he consent of tho governed than the
,vnr against secession In the South was
i violation of that principle. The
ludgtnent of a community cannot bo
iscertalned In tho mldttt of a revolu
tion. It Is Impossible to know what
lnd of government the Intelligence,
.he virtue, and the thrift of tho Island
if Luzon desire while It is overrun with
irmtftJ. Order is art essential pre-
requisite to ascertaining what the will
of tho people Is. The antl-lmperlallsts
are quite right In condemning nil wars
of conquest as un-American. They are
wrong In regarding tho war In Luzon
as a war of conquest. It 1b a war to
establish order In a community for
whose order the people of the United
States arc responsible. 'When that or
der Is established, It will be for uk to
nscertnln what arc the desires of those
In the Island who are competent to pass
Judgment on Its futute course."
The war against Agulnoldo Is nn In
cident merely In the large task of re
construction forced upon tts by tho
war against Spain. Its enriwlll leave
us simply nt the beginning of that
duty. As Dr. Abbott well says:
"Pence established, law respected and
enforced, order maintained, Industry
revived, life for n time Interrupted by
wnr resumed, nnd local self-government
fairly Initiated, nnd the people
taught by object lessons what liberty
means, It will, then be for us to do
In the Philippines what we have prom
ised to do In Cuba, 'leave the govern
ment and control of the Islnnd to Its
people.' " Those people. If they should
then possess the capacity for gratitude,
would themselves ask for such advan
tageous sovereignty to continue.
An occasional sarcastic remark from
the direction of Hanisburg Indicates
that Dr. Swallov Is still hovering on
the outskirts of politics.
Pensions and Interest.
The recent announcement by the
commissioner of pensions that the tide
In pension expenditure ha3 turned nnd
Is now likely In future to recede stead
ily, lends Interest to two tables bearing
on the subject, compiled by the Iloches

Since the beginning of the Civil war
the government has paid to pensioners
a total sum of $2,42S, 799,146, the most
generous allowance of nny nation in
the world's history. Hut as the Post

larger sum has been paid to the bond

In commenting upon this significant
comparison our Rochester contempor
ary says: "Those who have been in
clined to grumble about the large pen
sion payments should study these fig
ures, No government ever dealt so
generously with Its soldiers, but It is
also true that no government ever dealt
so generously and so honestly with tho
capitalists. The soldiers risked their
lives; thousands upon thousands were
slain In battle: thousands died of
wounds, and there are thousands liv
ing with shattered constitutions. To the
surviving soldiers and to tho widows
and children of those who laid down
their lives that the nation might live,
the government bus paid $2,428,799,14G.
Many of the capitalists took what they
supposed to be great risks, and from
patriotic and business motives loaned
the government large amounts of
money, but they got It all back again
and have diawn $2,711,507,829 as pay for
thu use of It."

Send Nurses with the Army.
Surgeon General Steinberg seems to
have undergone a change of heart
since the Cuban campaign. All laht
summer It was apparent that ho enter
tained deep rooted objections to the
woman army nurse. Perhaps the no
bio and efficient service rendered by
the women nurses in camp was a fac
tor in reconstructing his ideas on the
subject. At any rato he has Issued a
letter stating that he Is unrestricted
ns to tho means of paying the nurse's
to be sent out and lias n long list of
those who did excellent work during
the war and who ore eager to go to
Manila. The surgeon-general says he
has been ready at any tlmo to send as
many nurses as can be cared for nnd
utilized. It is Intimated that General
Otis Is not In favor of receiving u
larger number although the total under
orders for service In the Philippines Is
but fifty-eight. Tho medleal depart
ment advocu.tes Increasing tho list
to 300, which will be one trained nurse
to ten ulck men in the hospital. This
proportion Rooms small enough nnd aa
report after report Is cabled with
death rolls from fever nnd Insufficient
care, It would appear to tho public
which generally possesses humanitar
ian Instincts that, prominent In the ar
rangements for thu Hvlft transporta
tion of the volunteers, Bhould bo the
preparations for sending nurses to
cnte for the sick soldiers In the dlstnnt
Islands, nmld strange and unhealthy
conditions.
Many nurses who were discharged
from actlvo service In Cuba are still
under contract awaiting orders to go to
tho front whenever needed. While It
cannot bo denied that the distance
does lessen tho horrors of camp
sickness and death to tho average
American who happens to have none
Qf his kin In the nrmy, nnd that he Is
less shocked at the mortality record
than as If ho read It as coming from
Camp Meade or Chlcknmauga, It Is
still true that every patriotic person
will breathe a sigh of relief If ho Is
assured that tho boys In far off Manila
are not lying In desperate sickness
with no gentle womanly hand to ease
their suffering or cheer the homesick
hearts In their dying moments.
Colonel J. Ham Lewis, of Washing
ton, has called tho attention of Mr,
Bryan to tho difference between Im
perialism and antl-oxpanslon. As a rep
resentative of tho Democracy of the
far West Mr. Lewis Is certain that
while, the followers of that creed may
object to Imperialism they certainly
do not believe in nntl-expanslon. Col.
Lewis Is certain that to tie the latter
Issue to the Democratic party would
subject the organization to new ridi
cule and result In the loss of many
votes. He believes that It will be better
for the Democracy to accept Its defeat
as quietly ns possible next time and
hope for better things In future.

Did Great Things.
"What kind of a time aro you having
this hummer, Jimmy?"
"Oh, out of bight! The family all away.
Father was tho last to go. He went
north on business, and left mo to take
care of the house. Oh, yes, I'm strong
on that, you know. Haven't been there
slnco ho left. That makes me think,
I'd better go around tonight he's due to
day." James was right. His father had re
turned and was sitting on tho porch
smoking a cigar when his son arrived.
"Well, how have you been getting along
for tho last week?" Inquired tho father.
"Oh, very well, considering," said
James, assuming the confident air of the
man that hns dono his duty. "A few
accidents about tho house, but 1 fixed
them all right."
"Yes?"
"Yes had burglars ono night. Lucky
thing I was hero they might hnVe stolen
half the house. And the gas pipe sprung
a leak, too. But I discovered that In
time. And the rats! Why, we'd have
been overrun with 'em If I hadn't been
here to clean them out!"
"H'm! thut's strange," said his fa
ther. "I haven't heard any hurglnrs,
nor smelled any gas, nor heard any rats,
and I'vu been here all tho week. You
know I didn't take that business trip
after all." Detroit Free Press.
Roosevelt Had the Advantage.
"Thirty years ago," says deorge O.
Boekwood, the veteran New York photo
grapher. "my studio was nt Thirteenth
stieet and Broadway, then a residence
section. At tho corner, fnclng Union
Square, was tho old ltoosovelt mansion
wheni Governor Theodore Boose velt
spent Ills boyhood.
"Scleral ypars ago when tho governor

superintended posing him. After 1 had

to 'look pleasant, p!cr.se,' 1 said, care
lesHly: " 'I wonder whether you are tho little
fat boy who used to throw stones at my
skylight In Thirteenth street about thir
ty yearn ago?'
"Mr. Boosevelt's eyes twinkled. 'That's
a long time ago, Mr. Boekwood,' ho Bald.
'It's pretty nearly outlawed by tbU
lime. But as I have tho police on my
side now nnd I'm not afraid of being ur
rested, I'll ndmtt that I was tho boy.
But don't let that make you spoil this
plcturp.'
"It didn't, for It was the Uc.ut likeness
that had ever been taken of Mr. noose
velt up to that time. In fact, It was
tho only ono that didn't make him look
severe." Saturday Evening Post.
Ho Owned It Himself.
To a young man who stood smoking a
cigar on n downtown corner the other
day there approached tho elderly and Im
pertinent reformer of Immemorial legenl,
says the Chicago Chionlcle.
"How many cigars a day do you
smoke?" asked tho licensed meddler In
other people's affairs.
"Three." replied the youth, as patiently
as he could.
Then the Inquisition continued. "How
much do you pay for them?"
"Ten cents each," confessed the young
man.
"Don't you know, Mr," continued Iho
sage, "that If you saved that money, by
the time you aro ns old os I nm you
would own thnt big building on tho cor
ner?" "Do you own It?" Inquired the smoker,
"No," replied the old man.
"Well, I do," snld the young man.
It Made a Difference.
"If I slip down on n defective grating
In tho street pavement and sustain t-c-vero
damnges can I get redress?" ho
usked of a lawyer.
"You ctn."
"Whom shall t sue?"
"The owner or occupier of the premis

"1 was laid up teven weeks nnd I
think I oeght to have 20."
"I think wo can get dotiblo Hint. Do
you know tho owner of the property?"
"I can find out very easily. It's No. 80

"What? Why, that's my residence!
Better drop tho case nt once. sir. 1 for

that you can't get a verdict once In

Honesty in Example.
Long ago he hud taken the resolution
always to bo perfectly honest with his
children.
"My son," he accordingly observed, "I
am beating you with this trunk strap,
not for your own pood, but becuuse I am
hot under tho collar! No, It does not
by any means hurt mo more than It
hurts you!"
In tho faco of' such a luminous exam
ple, It would be strange If a boy did not
grow up to be nn honest man.
It was perhaps posslblo to overdo thU
thing, nnd render n boy so honest that
ho would be unable to earn his living In
nny of tho lenrned professions; but that
dllllculty, If It existed at nil, was thero
retJeal rather than practical. Detroit
