WHERE DOES ITIEADe

What the ultimate result of the advance
ment in the science of offense and defense
viii be is question which must soon be
considered. Those who have kept track
of the progress made in both branches
have observed that neither has outstripped
the other. No sooner has an armor been
invented that will withstand shot and
shell than projectile is found that will
penetrate it. No sooner have Notifications
been planned than means have been in
vented which render them of no practical
value. An immense battle ship is built
and Immediately a torpedo, or other facili-
tics capable of destroying it, is manufact-
ured Of what use, then, are all these
engines of war and these defenses? Is not
the country practically in as good
condition without them as with
them? The report of the War De-
partment, published yesterday in THE
DISPATCH, recommends the appropria-
ton of money both for the fitting out
of Notifications and for guns and projec-
tiles that will make the former of no ac-
count
The answer to these questions is very
easy. 80 long as other nations possess
the improved means of offense and defense,
the United States must be provided with
an equally effective equipment or else in
case of war submit to defeat But in case
of strife with the great nations, does not
the equation remain the same? Is it not
to be supposed that the other nations have
projectiles that will pierce the armor we
make and vice versa? In what way,
then, are the improvements benefit ex-
cept in the case where nation is at war
with another who progress has been
slow? 1t is net dincult to foresee that
there is time approaching when in spite
OF the science and the art the nations will
be on exactly the same relative footing as
they were before great guns, torpedoes
and impregnable armor were invented,
when the whole question of war will re-
solve itself into one of endurance and
strength of men and money.

WAS "a CELEBRATION?

Pittsburg's smoke probably never hung
thicker above the city than it did yester-
day. If our manufactures were intent on
celebrating the Mckinley victory by an
extraordinary exhibition of their trade
mark in the sky, they could not have done
so more successfully. Of course, thesmoke
is nuisance in itself, and the efforts to
abate it are laudable. Yet since most of
our people now live measureably beyond
its reach in the suburbs, its volume,
though greater than ever, does not pro-
duce as much personal inconvenience as
in the old days when the population was
packed between the hills and the Point.
As an advertisement of Pittsburg's indus.
trial activity, a day like yesterday is
simply immense. Otherwise the smoke
is as useless as it is unornamentaL

ARE SPIES BEING HARBoREDe

Charges against the representatives of
the United States in Chile are rapidly &C
cumulating 1t is not only claimed that
The officers of the United States warship
Baltimore acted as spies upon the Con-
gressionalists, but it is charged that ref
ugee in the United States Legation is chief
of party plotting the overthrow of the
present Government and the assassination
of Colonel Canto, commander of the Con
gressional lanS forces.
These charges, if true, are most serious,
and an official investigation should follow
at the earliest opportunity. The United
States as a nation prides itself upon its
Justice and fair dealing, and it cannot af-
ford TO have its reputation damaged by the
acts Of its agents. The charges are of
nature to be almost incredible. 1t is
hardly to be believed that citizens and
agents of the United States could so far
forget themselves and their honor as to act
as spies or TO barbor a conspirator. But
the charges have been made, apparently
in all seri business, and in justice to itself
as well as to its agents the Government
should not fail to investigate, if further
light upon the subject justifies such a
course.

WAITING NOW UPON BLAINE.

The next question of interest in politics
will he the attitude of the various men
who have been named for the Republican
Nomination for President
Undoubtedly Mr.. Blaine continues to
have the lead, with practically nobody
second if he consent to run. The ideal
ticket would seem to be Blaine and Nc
kinley.
Mr.. Blaine must soon declare himself
If he decline, President Harrison will of
course have all the official backing and
may possibly also be the legatee of some
of Blaine's personal following. But,
there are other strong favoriteS of the
public whose friends will be sure to enter
them for the race. 1t would seem alto
gether likely that Mckinley will be one of
these, and so doubtless, also, General
Alger. But Mr. Blaine must be heard
from before the bail starts.

CUSTOM UNDERvALUATIONs.
Goods That Are to Ali Intents Struggled
Into the Country.

San Francisco Chronicle.]
If a large quantity OF Sumatra tobacco has
been allowed to pay duty at 35 cents a pound
when it should pay 50 70 a pound, there is
screw loose somewhere. The tobacco has
been, to all intents, smuggled into the coun-
try, and should be dealt with like other
smuggled goods. While there is no differ
ence in the ethical quality of smuggling,
whether one thing or another evade the
payment of duties there is a very great diff
ference in the practical aspect of the matter.
A man, for instance, who smuggles in a suit
of clothes for himself defrauds the revenue,
but that is the end of it. He derives tine
benefit of his act, but he does not take any
thing from anybody but the Government.
The tobacco man. on the contrary, who can
get tobacco in at So cents which should pay
50 IS, not only makes profit out of the Gov
ernment, but an undue profit out of his Gus
TONER'S for he sells to them at the same rate
that he would have sold had he paid the full
duty OF So IS.
1t is the same with all other kinds of
smuggled merchandise. The successful
smuggler robs the Government and then in
turn rObS his customers. He underSells his
business rivals by just enough to secure
trade, as he can easily do with the margin
and yet charges the buyer an exorbitant
price in view of the actual cost Of the things
sold. Probably it will take some pretty
sharp lessons to break up smuggling in this
city. 1t is said that it has been growing Of
la te, and that frauds and evaSionS of the
revenue have increased very much. An ex-
ample should be made of all detected
no matter who they may be, in
order to break up the practice as soon as
possible.

of course abroad, is due to variety of
causes, the most important of which is
that the supply of domestic servants
abroad is unlimited, while here it is the
demand for them that so far has not been
fully satisfied. This seems queer to Max
O'Rell, and it is the subject of wide
lamentations among native commentators.
But the condition does not less emphasize
the emptiness of the idea that the person
who pays money for anything has the
right to command the one who receives
the money in any respect beyond. the
rendition of the stipulated condition.
If the American people do not fall into
any worse slavery than that which O'Rell
denounces they will get along very well.
A more imminent danger is that of slavery
to the vices imported as fashionable from
the Old World.

TENNESsEE's PREDICAMENT.

Less than a week has passed since the
convicts were released by the Tennessee
miners Already many of them are re-
ported to be starving and dying in the
mountainous region with which they are
unfamiliar. This is evidently a result
which the miners did not anticipate, for it
is hardly possible they would have turned
out five hundred men knowing that they
were TO meet starvation.
So far the released convicts have be-
haved better than was expected. They
have neither robbed. murdered nor Of
Tended against the laws, except in their
efforts to retain freedom. But they are
growing hungry, some are already in des-
perate straits for food and clothing; and it
will be surprising if their peaceabie con-
duct is continued. These facts and pos
sibilities may be considered as additional
evidence that no matter how lax the Ten
nessee Legislature may have been, the
miners were not justified in the course
they took. 1t is difficult, however, to see
Just how they can be reached. Indeed,
the only course open to the Governor is to
get the conyicts in prison again.
