two years. He is general of the shambles
not OF the battlefield
It is possible that clash cannot be
avoided. Public feeling in Madrid in fact
throughout Spain-is so wrought up against
the United States that the Instinct OF self
preservation may compel the party in con-
troll to stay its hand when otherwise it
would interfere. With that phase nf the
question. OF course, the United States has
no concern, and il is simply referred To in
order to show that a crisis is nearer at
hand than some people think. So long as
words Will sufficet they should be employed
but when the moment comes for action
it should find the government prepared for
it. The very first blow should be de-
cisive one. Halfway measures would be
worse than no action at all.

oners are shot, notwithstanding the re-
monstrances made by the United States,

POOR BUSINESS POLICY.

All that government may do Iegiti-
mately to promote the commerce Of its
people. and thereby increase both indi-
viduaI and national prosperity. it Should
do. If it fails in this respect il commits
a wrong, both TO the individual and 10 the
nation. OF this character is the policy of
the United States respecting the merchant
marine. While other governments have
left no stone uEturEed TO increase their
ocean carrying trade, ours has permitted
them to wrest that away from the pc ople
OF the United States. Before the war our
ocean trade beat that of Great Britain:
today it has almost disa ppeared from the
seas. 1t is an anomaly unparalleled III
history that a country having an immense
coast line and as many superb harbors
as ours should have 10 other merchant ma
rine save that engaged in coastwise trade
1t is idle to speculate now upon how 1t all
happened. Whether this party or that
party, one class of legislation or another,
was responsible for it is of no consequence
now. Here is question that lies outside
of the pale of politics and ought t" be set
tied without reference to ii and upon bus-
ness principles only. Laws ought 10 be
passed with q view to induce the building
of ships by American owners, and the sim
plcst and best policy yet suggested is the
enactment of a law allowing a 10 per cent
rebate on duties on all goods imported IN
vessels built in tue United States and bav-
ing an American register. The mere re-
| quircmcnt of the latter condition would
| be unproductIve of the result aimed at. be-
| cause eTen though a Thousand ships built
on the Clyde were to take out American
registers. that fact would not cause the
/ la ying of single keel along the Schuyli;ill
or any other shipyard in the United States.
Such law would work benefits in more
| than one way. Giving a new impulse to
| the building of merchant vessels. and Il gain
sending the flag of the nation over all the
/ seas TO which it has been a stranger for
more than three decades, it would also
| give employment to thousands OF honest
workingrnen, would raise wages and im-
| prove business generally. Even those legis-
lators who balk at the granting of gov
| ernment subsidies can find no fault with
the discriminating duty in favor OF Amer
ican bottoms.

TO THE MEMORY OF HANCOCK.

The unveiliDs of tie statue erected to
the memory OF Major General Winfield Scott
Hancock will properly he the occasion OF
an interesting ceremonial. attracting the
attention of veterans all over the country,
but especially those Of the Second Army
Corps. whose gallant commander he was.
Gen. Hancock was the ideal beau sabreur."
Kind of heart, fearless in hattie. gifted
with gracious personality and most at
tractive qualities of heart and mind: an
able leader of troops, a man OF fine eNecu-
tive ability and possess sing unusual sources
aS a stratcgiSt. there were few Officers in
the Union armies who were more beloved
by their soldiers ard more generally ad-
mircd and respected than he.
To the survivors of the Second Army
Corps tomorrow will be red letter day.
FOR the memorial to their beloved leader
is probably one of the very best equestrian
statues in the city, if not the very best. and
it occupies the most conspicuous site of
any so far erected. Midway between the
Capitol and the Treasury. at the intersec-
lion of TWO of the city's busiest thorough
fares, 1t will be in constant view of the
passing thousands and attract the atten-
ton of strangers almost as soon rs they
arrive. And while gaining prominence from
the position it occupies, ii will serve to
embellish its enviroEs, and will no doubt
be the objective point OF many wanderings.
Monuments like these serve to keep alive
the memory OF the deeds of the heroes who
fought to save the Union. and are object
lessons OF patriotism of value alike TO
old and young, but more especially to the
rising generations, to whose hands. as the
old pass away from the stage of Hfe, the
honor of their country is confided

ne would like to give an exhibition OF the

He asked for Il United states vessel to take
a party of prominent statesmen and others
down the iver to witness the operations OF
