THE MAN WHO COOKS THE GRUB
We have read in song and story
OF 1.-The man behind the gun"

OF 1.-The man behind the gun"
He Is given all the glocy
OF the battles that are won
They are filling up the papers
With the apotheosis,
And they tell about his capers
While the shells above him hiss,
But behind the grimy gunner,
Steadfast through the wild hubbub
Stands greater god Of battles
'Tis the man who cooks the grub.
When the sky is rent with thunder
And the shell screams through the air,
When some fort is rent asunder
And Destruction revels there,
When the men in line 90 rushing
On to glory or to woe
With the maddened charges crush hing
Heroes who are lying low,
There is one but for VIII Jse lab0rs
There could be no Wild hubbub,
And tine greatest god Of battles
Is the man who cooks the grub,
What OF ships with armor plating:
What OF castles on tn heights:
What Of anxious captains waiting
While the careful gunner sights;
What OF all Ih4 long-range rifles
What cf men with valiant hearts?
These We're but imp tent tr fie>,
Hut iuconsequential parts
OF the whOle, without the fellow
Who must scour, SC ape and Ecrub--
For the greatest god OF battles
l. the man VINO cooks the grub.

Homesickness seems to be as much of
the trouble at Santiago as fevers or
other malady incident to the climate.
Homesickness is not accepted by the
average man as as serious complaint,
but the army history shows that it
killed its share in the past war. We're
more circums pection used in Cuba, and
the soldiers not indulged in the hope
that everything is to be done on the
rapid-fire plan, pro ba bly, less impotence
to get home, less generalization and
less complaint would have arisen. One
trouble with the army in Cuba is that
we have too many prophets who have
arranged for the end of the war before
it has come.

. Those good women who made
"nightiesh for the boys at the front,
must have felt highly disgusted when
they found out that the boys put the
garments to use by cleaning their
weapons with them.
One man in acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the night gowns, remarked as
below
Nearly every man in our regiment
received night shirt from the Ladies
Aid Society and they came in handy
for cleaning guns, as the sand and
rain keep the rifles in bad shape, and
rags are scarce. They were all glad
to get the shirts, as it is better to have
your gun in good shape than to sleer
in a night gown.

By the accession of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines, which is now
assured, the area of the United States
will be increased 161, 900 suare miles,
or by an addition a little larger than
California Its total population will
be expanded to the extent of 10000, 900
or 100000 or by more people than
New York and Pennsylvania COM
bined had in 1890. The increase in the
amount of the countrys business
which these accessions will bring can
not be computed approximately, but it
will undoubtedly be great. The United
States census Of two years hence will
show some big changes from that of
eight years ago.-Globe Democrat.

MANILA MERCHANTS HOWL

A dispatch from Berlin says the Ger
man merchants in Manila have petit
toned their home government to in
tervene at Washington to secure in
demnity for the losses they have sus-
tanned because Of the war. It is init
movement by the merchants represent
ing other European nations to secure
the payment of such an indemnity, but
that the English merchants at hint
from Lord Salisbury. refused to join it
Upon what ground these foreign mer-
chants expect to secure an indemnity
it is difficult to understand. AS the
Cleveland Leader editoriaily declares,
surely they are entitled to nothing I'M
less their property shall be willfully de-
stroyed by the Americans. AS neutrals
they are entitled to nothing. 1t is
well established principle of interna-
tional law that citizen Of neutral
power who has a place of business or
capital invested in a hostile country
assumes the character Of a hostile, and
is entitled IN no consideration. The
foreign merchants VINO are doing bust
ness in Manila are there through the
sufferance of the Spanish government,
and if their business is injured because
of war they should look to the Spanish
government for relief and protection.
They can ask nothing from the govern
ment of the United States, which has
never guaranteed them protection or
granted them recognition. Further
more, these merchants are trafficking
in the products of hostile soil and with
a hostile people. and when they en-
gagged in business in Manila they took
the risk Of encountering just such
losses as they are now sustaining.

SICK IN SANTIAGO.

We have had but one land fight, q
fight which would have been denomin-
ated a skirmish in war times, but
which resulted in regular war victory
far reaching in its results. But the vic
tory at Santiago is blurred by an after
shadow. If the reports reaching this
country are reliable, General Smarter
should move his forces back into the
high mountains as speedily as possible
or otherwise the government should get
the men on to transports and move
to North Atlantic waters as rapidly as
possible. The Spanish soldiery once
gone, a very few men and officers, who
should be immunes, can administer the
civil affairs of Santiago. The nation is
becoming uneasy over the reflection
that the boys who won may all die OF
that dreadful scourge, yellow fever. II
the ambition and best wishes of the
people were with our men in front OF
ToraPs forces their prayers are with
them now for the apprehension of dis
aster is much greater. Whatever can
be done for their comfort should be
done without reference to cost or in
convenience. 1t is a serious thing to be
sick away from friends and home com
forts, but to be down with the yellow
fever meath a tropical sun is an afiiic-
ton beset with dangers greater than
those incident to the thick Of battle.

LET Us HAVE PEACE"

Notwithstanding the intoxicating re-
Election that no nation Of any time ever
within so brief a period as three
months made greater or more rapid
strides in ACKNOWLEDGMENT, the brief
bulletin Of yesterday announcing the
surrender Of Manila to Dewey was hail
ed with pleasure. not because Of an
added acquisition, but as a portend Of
peace. 1t was the one voice Of the
crowds alternating before the Eagles
bulletin board The American is fight
er par excellent, but he does not like
war In the fun flush Of rapidly oc-
curing victories his desire is still for
peace. Triumphant on land and on the
sea, with no limit to the range and
number of acquisitions ahead, with
Manila surrendered, eastern Cuba
taken and Porto Rico practically ours,
and only glory reflected from both navy
and army, the deep down desire is for
peace. \ mighty naval power demon
strated, Hawaii securely annexed, with
the commerce of the Orient assured as
never before and the possibilities of ac-
QUESTION and expansion never SO bright
or alluring, the unselfish cause for
which the war was declared having
been practically accomplished, still the
American would go back to his shop,
farm and anvil, to the quiet security
Of home, to the life in which there are
no traces of blood, no promises Of glory
save such as are Won IN the industrial
field or intellectual arena. He prefers
the triumph of a transcontinental line,
the planting of great institutions, the
laying Of an ocean cable, or the con-
struction of a Nicaraguan ship canal
to any possible advantages gained at
the cost of human life. For the sake
of a swift conclusion of peace and the
return Of those who went forth to do
battle, the majority would forego the
reduction Of Havana and the satisfac-
ton Of seeing Watson sail an american
feet into the seas, into lie very teeth
of sneering Europe.

WILL. lake CARE OF CUBA.

Somebody remarked that the United
thy Of Spain when we came TO take
the Cuban in hand. That this govern
ment will be compelled to a protector
ate of the island until such time as it
can be safely turnei over to its own
people is now generally conceded. The
insurgents have made it clear that they
eminent We cannot understand why,
but Spain is understood to be extreme
ly solicitous about the kind of govern
ment the United States is 20 guarantee
for Cuba. Some of the Spanish OIL
Gals insist that the United States must
pledge itself in the treaty with Spain
that it will establish a government in
Cuba and maintain it long enough to
make it plain to the people there that
they are to be adequately protected.
This solicitude is too tardy to be effect
i've on the part of Spain. 1t should
have been manifested and an applica-
ton of it made some four hundred years
ago. Spain's solicitude about good gov
eminent in Cuba is about as much out
of place as is Kaiser Billy's solicitude
about good government in the Philip
pines. The one will be no more pa
tiently listened to by the United States
than the other.

THE PRESIDENT WILL DO IT.

President Mckinley will make the
terms of peace, despite the fact that
the senate must ratify, and in spite of
all side conjectures. He has conducted
the war and has stayed with it. Con-
gress adjourned and the senators have
Sought out cool resorts. They have
their constitutional rights in the prem
lses and viii get around in time in spe-
rial session or otherwise. But the con-
ditions will be adjusted by the presi-
dent. The senate can refuse to ratify,
but it cannot command the president
to make another or different one.
Neither can it force him to carry on
the war. 1t is the kind of case where
husband and wife are one, but the hus-
band is that one. Naval and military
operations viii have ceased and the
terms have been agreed upon before
the senate is even convened. by which
time the country viii have settled down
to business, knowing that the war is
ended. The man VINO was compelled to
bear the responsibilities Of the war viii
fix the terms Of peace.

IGNORANT BLISS

When the Charleston opened out on
the principal port Of the Ladrones the
inhabitants had not even heard Of the
war between America and Spain. Over
in Manila the Spaniards still think that
SPANS army has invaded the United
States; that the American navy was
defeated at Santiago, and that Camara
is on his way 20 smash Dewey. The
great majority of the people Of Spain
believe that the Sagasta government
has more than held its own and that
the American navy has failed and the
American army has been defeated or
repulsed in every engagement Not
until Cervera's fleet was totally de-
stroyed and ToraTs surrender acknowl-
edged did the inhabitants OF Madrid
believe that Spain had met VITA any
reverses worth speaking Of. Where ig-
norance is bliss It's folly to be wise,
but wisdom of SPANS folly is coming
