Tint iuaee-at-aiiy-prlt:e olenieiit can 'eo the cost of a rightotts war, but not the greater cost of a weak policy that not only means eventual war. but a whole brood of disasters. HiiiiH is a pointer for the local Benedicts. A married man in a neigh boring town vent to bod the other night with his boots on, and in an swer to his wife's query, said it was done to protect himself from her cold feet. Cool, wasn't he? In order to protect the newspapers published along its lines the Pennsyl vania railroad has refused to run a fnst special for the big New York ilai'ies through territory now sorved by Philadelphia and Ilarrisburg papers. Vhkn a girl wants to go anywhere for the Milliliter she commences in January to say that she wants to go, in February that she ought to bo al lowed to go, in March that she is going, and in April sho begins to get her shirt waists ready. Tim Philadelphia Press diagnosed the ca-e correctly the other day when it said that a Democrat may ue re turned from this Congressional dis trict should the Republicans makoiiii unpopular nomination. In other words, civil service should not apply in this particular case. Wiikn war was forced upon us, thirty-odd i;;v8 ago, no one was mor'-. .elidy to tight for the nation and no one fought more valiantly, than William McKinley. If war is to be forced upon us now ho will be no li-s ready nml valiant than then. Put rln very qualities that mude liim a good soldier then, make him the friend of pence now. There are ujj stronger advocates of ponce than the veterans of a war. Tho most ardent advocates of war are those who never saw a battle. A I'oiiitKSPoNiiHNT sends a nuota tion from I.o.-sing's American history in regard to Benjamin Franklin's warning to his countrymen against placing any faith in Spanish oilers of friendship during the revolution Franklin felt that though Spain was unfriendh to Knglnnd it was, by its nature, tho enemy of all republican tendencies in America. With his keen perception lie saw through tho il 'plicity of Spain, pretending sym natli v Willi the American colonies and yet intriguing to defeat their alliance with France. Franklin was perfectly right, and his fellow-Amur! cans of to-day have the saino opinion of Spanish faith and promises that he had. CoxoitKSriMAN Williams, aided by his colleague, M r.

The prac tical completion of it tlyliiK squadron of 1 the American navy by the assignment I of Commodore W. S. Sclilcy to take charpte, nnd his acceptance, as marked by Ills active operation of Monday Inst, Is an epoch marking event In the his tory of the present difficulty. No other action of this government since the Maine disaster so actively determines the fact that actual war fare has been expected. The North Atlantic squadron Is ulwnys urnniiized, I and the appointment of Captain Samp son to Its command Is but the nntural sequence of the i-etlienionl of Hear Ad miral Slcard from actual duty. So, too, the assignment of ships of war to that squadron or to the 1'aclflc squadron are but moves toward mobilization that might occur at any time. nut Hying squadrons are the direct outcome of dangerous war conditions, are not necessities of standing navies In time or peace, and are expeditions of an extraordinary nature, created only When the government fully decides that there Is fear of attack or that the time is ripe for an attack from here. It is therefore not only possible, but highly probable, that the new American Hying squadron has work cut out for It. The fleet is one of the most formid able that can be gathered together by any nation. In average rate of speed, In armored protection, in caliber nnd number of guns, and in fighting quality nnd discipline of men It can be proven that the composition of this Hying squadron Is superior, point of numbers being equal, to any organization of a like nature to be formed by a foreign power. Evidence of an unmistakable char acter Is apparent that every man, from stoker to commandant. Is not only fonrless of battle, but courts It and hopes It will come. The small caliber gun that fired the commodore salute Inst Monday morning with blank cart ridge sang out a high pitched paen of welcome nnd peace. Hut in every eye Is the kindling spark of vengeance for follow seamen hurled to death, and the hope that the cannon's tenor note may be ehnnged to the dreadful war. In the makeup of the Hying squadron speed and fighting qualities have been considered. A summary of the points In comparison with those of the best boats that Ppaln can offer in making up a similar squadron follows: Name. Tons. II. l'r. Speed. Brooklyn 9.271 1S.00O 22 knots Columbia C.:i75 12,000 23 knots Massachusetts ....10.2SS 9.000 17 knots Minneapolis 7,375 11.000 23',i knots The four best armored cruisers that Spain has, compared with this fleet uf flyers, would be as follows: Name. Vlzcuya Infanta Maria 1'eluyo Oqucndo Tons. .. 7.000 .. 7,000 .. D,00 .. 7.000 II. Vr. 13,000 13.000 8,000 13,000 Speed. 20 knots 20 knots 1G knots 20 knots The totul displacement tonnage of tho United States Hying squadron is 43.10D nnd of the Spanish only 30,'JOO The average horse power of the United states vessels is 12,500 and that of the Spanish 11.750. The average rate of speed of the four United States ships Is 21 knots per hour, while the Span lsh licet has to content itself with 19 knots. It Is possible that the battle ship Massachusetts, being somewhat slower than the rest of tho ileet, will be supplanted in the squadron by the New York, and the average of speed and fast lighting capabilities of th squadron will bo Increased. It must bo remembered that the Urooklyn and New York are two of the finest types of fighting machines In the world, hnv- lng their main batteries supplied with rapid lire guns, with which very few warships are equipped except In a sec ondary battery. The great point of vantage of this fleet, however, Is In the thickness of armor, caliber of the guns and the fighting qualities of the men. There are Ave 13 Inch guns on tho proposed American Hying squadron, while the whole Spanish navy Iuih not one, and only two 12 Inch guns. Of 12 Inch guns our squadron has four and of eight Inch guns 14. Spain's four selected vessels have Hve 11 Inch guns, and the rest are mainly five Inch. These are the points of advantage that Commo dore Schley's fleet would like to dem onstrate In actual fight. Free Pills. Send our nddres.5 to II.

The Spanish cab inet has decided that the torpedo flo tilla Is to remnln at the Cape de Verde IslnrnU until further orders. This Is tho fleet that was reported to have arrived at Porto Illco last Friday. In stead tho fleet was dispersed by a houvy gule and compelled to put Into Cope de Verde Islands, In n badly crippled condition, for repaliB. The flotilla will be joined later by a squad ron composed of the armored cruiser Emperor Charles V, of !),235 tons; the cruiser Alfonso XIII, of 6,000 tons; the armored cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa, of 7,000 tons, and the armored cruiser Cristobal Colon, of 0.S10 tons, which wilt accompany the torpedo flotilla to Cuba. It has also been decided by the gov ernment to send the armored cruisers Vlscaya and Ahnlrnute Oqucndo, both of 7,000 tons, back to Havana. They will receive orders to this effect as soon as they sight Porto Hleo. A flo tilla of torpedo bouts and tnriedo boat destroyers Is being prepared for active service at Cadiz.

The majority of the newspnpois hero regard war as Inevitable. They think General Stewart I-. Woodford has com municated a llnnl nnswer to the gov ernment.

Hut hi splto of the Ingenuity which ! has been put latothoinamifiiotiireof these storlos, there Is an original flavor to ono told by a soldier nt present located hi tho United States army In this city. ( It was In lsso, when ho wns In tho navy, that ho was stationed on a vessel near Sitka. There was considerable gold being tnken out near there, and an enterprising , speculator uot hold of a party of marines I on the ship nnd Induced them to buy hla mine. There wcro 1110 of them who llnally went Into the scheme, and they paid 810 ench for their newsouiro of wealth. There was always a good deal of bpnro timo on their hands, and they easily secured per mission to nso this in working tlieirciaim. For six months tho soldiers dug quart, by day nnd dreamed of sudden wealth by night. All were con'ldent of being ablo to retire from the service with comfortnblo riches, and looked mdly on tho poor oil)- cors, who would lmvo to keep on soldiering all their lives, not being In tho scheme. At the end of Fix mouths they had a largo pilo of quartz, and, loading It Into nil tho old barrels, bags and provision ensos they could find, they sent It by ship to tho nearest cnish ma mill. Then follow ed weeks of waiting till tho returns should come, and an air uf subdued importance grew In each man who expected at nny timo to ho Informed that ho was worth thousands of dollars.
