Ovcr-Countinp; the Cost.
WITH UKPKnHNCI-: to tlio
death of General l.uw
ton the Philadelphia
I.edBcr says: "The en
tire Philippines nre not worth the life
of one such n brnve putt lot, mid yet the
administration has caused the country
to pay for them thousands of lives nnd
at least a hundred of millions of tioas
tttv. Blood and money have been
pouted out like wnter to perpetuate a,
political blunder."
Genet nl Unwton was a soldier from
shoe-sole to crown. His life was spent
In flKhthiR enemies of his R-ovetntnent
nnd In that put suit ho died u soldier's
death, falling nt the head of his column
w itli face to the foe. Wo are satlslled
that could he have chosen the manner
of his death he would not have chosen
differently; and could his opinion have
been had as to the time, surely ho would
nut have selected a different time than
the one which puts him befotc the con
templation of every American citizen
as ii hero stricken In warfare nfter
Ioiik and brilliant service. We lament
the necessity which sheds blood In any
cause; and the los to the nation In the
sacrillee of a man like Lawton Is not
rarlly exaRKerated; still, that which
has come to pass Is not to be undone
by murmurlnj:. nor Is It a compliment
to Lawton's memory to use his name
In connection with a prowl.
The ciy of reRiet when progress
causes suffering is very natural; but
philosophy teaches that war Is not tha
only form of ptoRtess which exacts the
tribute of bloodshed. The coal which
furnishes the fuel used In seneratln
the power that turns the Ledger's
pi esses Is not mined without loss of
life nnd heroes as brave as lawton
fall In the mines every little whIle.'Tho
trains which tiansport the Keillor from
press room to reader are not run with
out a sanguinary cost, but it does not
f'jllow that the processes of civilization
are therefore to be suspended. If our
contemporary will use a little philos
ophy In Its contemplation of the Phil
ippine problem It will discover that,
npatt from the personal Brief involved,
the death of General Lawton, coming
as It did. Is neither a bad thins for
J-Kiwton nor for the country which hon
ors him in deatli more than It could
ever have honored him In life. The ex
ample of fidelity to duty and of cour
age in the performance of that duty
which It sharply accentuates; the hal
lowed association which in time to
come It will nttach to the soil whereon
he fell this Is not a piopor subject of
regret but rather an Inspiration Rolnty
Into the souls of Lawton's surviving
countrymen.
The hand Is to the plough In this
Fhlllpplnc affair and It Is nonsensical
to talk of turning back.
The local Democrats regaid each
other as though they had been drink

Diplomatic Reforms.
IN A LIXTURE recently delivered
before the school of diplomacy
In the Columbian university,
Hon. John W. Poster, former
secretary of state and one of the
pillars of our diplomatic department,
V put In evidence his belief that the
Vnlted Stntcs made a mistake when It
raised the tank of its chief reptesen
tatives at foreign capitals to that of
ambassadors and thereby gave notlco
of Its Intention to enter Into competi
tion with the aristocratic nations of
Europe In what the Washington Post,
In discussing Mr, Foster's remarks, al
lude" Jtt) as "plflclal parade and tom
foolery?1' ,."..
.wSjUipifmentlfngthi. lecturer that In
terest np?"Journnt say's: "There has
been no time In our history when a
representative of the United States
could not secure nil the respect nnd
consideration to which his nation was
entitled, If he had the oourago and the
tact to make his claim. All this talk
about the necessity of higher tank for
our envoys nt foreign capitals, In order
to assure them proper recognition, Is
ppnsensq. Wu have commanded nnd
shall continue to command such recog
nition In the exnet intio of our national
Importance, and we can do this In the
future, as wo have done It In the past,
without the aid of hlgh-soundlng titles
and foolish, ceremonious fuss. As for
the trumpery squabble over precedence
at dinners and receptions who shall
stand nearest o the Ktruscan cuspidor
pr, the Porflpollan coal-scuttle, or who
shrill get first place in tho rush for
te'rrapln and champagne the American
peonlo will bo very glad to have such
mutters referred to the high tribunal
of opera boufte, where they legitimately
belong. Not more than one person In
every fifty thousand of our population
caH whQtlier.fQrelsn envoys at Wash
ington or United States envoys at for
eign capitals are called ambassadors or
mlnlsteis, or, for thut matter, whether
the, have .any tlUqs ut all; but almost
tviftyDQdys""weTiry of the trumpery
pomp, thQ."YJftyfiSCs7'tlie mean
snobbery, and irksome multiplication
of ofllcial personnel which constitute
the harvest of our lnttcr-day diplomatic
cxpunslon. Sir. Koster Rpeuks for the
country when ho says tltnt wo shall
neither solve the problem of precedence
nor Increase our own dignity by a
servile Imitation of Kuropcnn tom
foolery In this matter."
This question can he approached
somewhat differently now than It could
have been two years ago. At that
time, American prestige at certain
continental centers was not so high
that wo could nfford to Institute Inno
vations or neglect opportunities In dip
lomatic ceremony. Today the Import
ance attaching to the ofllce of repre
sentative of the 1 'tilted States Is such
that the small details of court cus
tom appear dwarfed; so much so that,
If It be deemed advisable to begin a
reconstruction of our policy In this
direction the time Is opportune. What
Is called the "new diplomacy" has al
ready established the precedent of out
spoken speech without equivocation In
place of the Ingenious lying of former
times. Perhaps corresponding leforma
tlon of the ridiculous etiquette of
diplomacy Is to come from the same
source and In the same manner.
Following each report of disaster to
British troops In South Africa the rush
of volunteers nt L'ngllsh recruiting
stations increases. This Is an Indica
tion of sentiment that foreign nations
disposed to take advantage of Great
Utltaln's dilemma will do well to con
sider. Sampsoii'ScliIcy.
u
PON AUTHORITY It Is said
that an agreement has been
reached between the admin
istration and the partisans
of Admiral Schley In the senate where
by a bill to create the grade of vice
admiral and provide for two appoint
ments to that grade will be passed
without opposition, the condition be
ing that the ptcsldcnt Is to nominate
for those positions Hear Admirals
Sampson and Schley. But for this
agreement It Is said that promotion to
Sampson would b blocked.
No new facts bearing on the case
have come to light and the old facta
nre, or ought to be, well known. The
lltness of Sampson for promotion has
not been questioned but on the con
trary Is strongly a'lirmed by all un
biased students of bis professional
career. The lltness of Schley for pro
motion has been questioned and th"
recotds of the navy depattnient supply
the reasons why. If In the light of
these records and reasons the president
wishes to make Schley u vice admiral
and the senate Is willing to confirm
the nomination, no profit can come to
laymen from a furtl-cr agitation of the.
subject.
The quicker the mantle of oblivion
can be dtoppod over the whole affair
the better will It bo for the future of
the navy.
Now that the name of Arthur Sewal!
has been sponged from the slate as
Colonel Bryan's presidential running
mate, there may be hopes for "Coin"
Harvey.
The Ex-Governor of Cuba.
T IS PKOPEK that a word of ap
preciation should now bo printed
In behalf of the retiring execu
tive of Cuba, Major General
Brooke. The period of his adminis
tration covers a few days less than .1
year, yet as he points out in his fare
well manifesto, a year ago he founJ
the country devastated, Its resources
and commerce destroyed, and Its rural
population gatheted In Its towns with
out shelter and dying from starvation
and exposure, while today substantial
evidences of prosperity appear on ev
ery hand, municipal and provincial
governments have been organized nnd
put in the hands of the native people,
the courts have been to a considerable
degree reorganized, with many of the
laws modernized, peace reigns and law
and order rules. Although much hard
work remains to bo done In the recon
struction of affairs preliminary to the
establishment of stable native govern
ment, and although there seemed at
the time to be a good many Items In
General Brooke's passing conduct open
to question If not to censure, it must
In fairness be said for him that, taking
Into account the limitations and tho
strange circumstances by which he
was surrounded he has perfotmed a
wonderful task.
He went to Cuba ufter a very brief
expet lence as the military governor of
Porto Itlco, to which latter assignment
ho had gone without any experience
whatever In the civil functions of such
an olilce. All his life he had been a
soldier, Inured to military forms an 1
ideas. That under these conditions he
should have shown some signs of what
civilians call the spirit of a martinet
Is less remarkable than that In grap
pling with the largo and complicated
ptoblems of un utterly new function ii'i
should so many times have been right.
It Is necessary to say that In all the
criticism of General Brooke which has
found Its way Into the American presi
not once has his honesty been ques
tioned, never has scandil In the fami
liar Spanish sense attached to his
handling of the revenues or his ap
pointments to olilce, and by no man
has the charge been brought that he did
not do the best that was In him. This
Is why fair-minded men will overlook
minor errors of detail and accord to
htm a cordial welcome home.
The American people can be proud of
nn army which has ready for each new
emergency men of the stamp of John
It. Brooke.
Maud Marceau, a contributor to the
Weekly Democratic Magazine, asserts
that America needs a Zola to teach us
our duty in tho Maybrlck case. The
writer in this case seems to have mis
taken the location of need. While
many believe In the innocence of Mrs.
Maybrlck and have made every rea
sonable effort to secure her release, It
Is not a case within the Jurisdiction of
any one In authority on this side of the
ocean, An English Zola, backed by
ample capital, might accomplish re
sults similar to those In tho Dreyfus
affair, but It is difficult to too how
any such effect could be produced by
further agitation In the United States.
Mablnl, one of Agulnaldo's chiefs,
admits that the Philippine Insurrection
Is crushed nnd says that If a liberal
government Is given the Inhabitant.! of
the Islands no more trouble will bo ex
perienced. This looks as though Ma
blnl would bo willing to accept an of
fice under the government If sulllclcnt
Inducements were thrown in.
Edward Bole, tho youthful authority
on fcmlnlno topics, announces that "If
nil the dressmakers known to exist
In America worked twenty-four hours
of each day for a whole year, without
stopping for sleep or meals, they would
still be nble to make only one dress
apiece for less thnn seven-eights of
the women of America." The saddest
feature of tho announcement Is the fact
that Mr. llok offers no remedy for this
calamitous Btate of affairs. Even with
the dressmakers working overtime,
what is to become of the one-clghth In
this season of prosperity when almost
every woman can nfford a new gar
ment? Ale they to be compelled to go
dressless or resort to the bargain coun
ter $4 "tailor-mades?" This Is Indeed
a serious thought to precipitate at a
time when so many other vexed ques
tions aro up for consideration. Let us
hear from some representative wo
man's cub.
The recent trouble in Wall street
need not bo taken seriously. It was
simply an Indication that shearing time
had arrived. Tho combined winnings
of ten brokers during the panic
amounted to $7,000,000. As the lamb.s
have nearly nil been relieved of their
winter lleece, affairs In Wall street
may be expected soon to resume their
normal condition.
m
Adversity does not seem to cement
the friendship of the base ball mag
nates. They are now engaged In a
wrangle that may end In the death of
ptofesslonal ball. Base ball has been
the victim of rowdyism and hlppo
dromlng. Lovers of true sport will
regret Its downfall.
Palmists have been reading the
hands of Mr. Bryan, but none of them
can see lines Indicative that either will
ever pen a president's message.
Politics and theatrical entertain
ments experience difficulty in securing
a hearing this week.

torian of American sea power presents
tho first comprehensive account of one

importance, of tho theme is indicated by
the fact that the value of prizes and
cargoes taken by privateers in the Rco

I was traveling In Switzerland a native

and said : 'Excuse me, sir, but will you
gratify my curiosity by telling mo what
It was that the governor of North Caro
lina said to tho governor of South Caio

throw up my hands, repeat tho remark of
the governor of North Carolina and glo

AS TO CHEAP POWER.
Editor of Tho Tribune
Sir: Noticing tho vailous articles ap
pearing in Tho Tribune (probably adver
tisements, although there. Is nothing to
Indicate It), extolling Niagara as a loca
tion for manufacturing enterprises, ow
ing to tho cheap power furnished, I am
Impelled to assert, and am prepared to
ptovo by actual results attained, that
power and electricity can bo furnished
In tho anthrnclto coal regions for less
than Is charged at Niagara, leaving a
very largo margin of profit. This Is not
an unreliable assertion of an enthusiastic
Inventor, but Is based on established
facts and can be so demonstrated to any
ono willing to Investigate.
