The Situation.

The Philadelphia Ledger has a special
Washington dispatch to the effect that
when the report on the Maine disaster
finally reaches Washington and is reviewed
by the secretary of the navy it will be at
once laid before the President for his imme-
diate action. Should it emphatically de-
clare, as it is believed it will, that the
Maine was wrecked by the explosion OF a
torpedo or submarine mine, President Nc
KinleY will without delay make demand
upon the Spanish government for repara-
tion and indemnity. This demand, it is
expected, will be met by a denial of the
facts as stated by the board and the counter
claim on the part of Spain that her indie
pendent investigation proves the explosion
to have been an accident, which relieves
her of all responsibility in the matter. 10
other words, that an attempt will be made
by Spain to make the issue one of veracity
between the Spanish and American sailors
The President will support our Ulcers by
all the means within his power, will decline
to permit prOtracted diplomatic delays OF
to submit case involving the loss OF 253
lives of American seamen and two of our
naval officers to board of arbitration and
if Spain refuses to pay the penalty Of what,
under the most charitable construction, cau
be deemed no better than criminal care
lessness, the United States will enforce it
demands. The president will not admit
that demand for indemnify or even the
recognition of the independence Of Cuba by
Congress, is aggression. He will regard the
denial of Spain to do justice towards the
victims of the Maine and to com pensate
our government for the loss of the vessel as
an act of unfriendliness, and will proceed
accordingly. If trouble comes it will be
because the Spanish government, goaded
on by the Spanish people, insist upon a
war to save the dynasty and under
cover of which the Cuban question will be
at once settled.
Ii this is correct view of The situation,
it is difficult to see how war can be
avoided.

struggle for his bill compelling mu-
inequalities to provide proper school ac-
commodation for at least rs per cent of
their children of school age. At present
he says New Jersey stands thirty
fourth among the states of the Union
with respect to proper school accom-
modations and twenty-third as to IL
Iteracy. He wants New Jerseys
standing improved. If his bill passes
both houses it will embarrass a number
of municipalities which, while anxious
to furnish enough school room, are
handicapped by the condition of their
finances.
Railroad and Corporation Matters.
The enactment of Senator w. M.
Johnson's grade crossing bill is dis
tinct victory for that gentleman, even
though the measure was amended from
the original draft so as to make the
court of chancery the final arbiter
when protection is demanded instead of
leaving it to local town councils. Be-
fore this bill became law the smaller
municipalities had no redress, no mat
ter how dangerous crossings might be.
Unless the railroad was generous
enough or just enough to provide gates
or fagman the crossing had to re-
main as it was.
The legislature has also enacted a
law making effective this year the act
passed last winter by which certain

Two Mere coincIdences.

II anybody supposes that our dearly
beloved friend, the Hon. Dollarmark
Hanna, is less than eleven years old. or
sleeping, let that paretic individual take
the first cab for st. Elizabeth and get
his neck broken over an iron bedstead
The Hon Dollarmark Hanna is very
much of age and wide awake.
Two pleasant little condolences Will
serve to illustrate the text. The Fourth
Ohio Regiment has been hurried home
from the West Indies in order that 1t
may reach home in plenty of time to
vote and do little Republican glorify-
ing m advance of election day. As
many of its members have been under
stood to conceal unpleasant views on
Algerism and to be wavering in their
devotion to Hanna the Boss of Ohio,
they have been ordered to Washington
to be reviewed, pump-handled and 1ol-
lied by the President himself. They
will hear praises from those mobile and
illustrious lips that will warm the
cookies of their hearts. They will be so
magnetized by that genial presence
that they will hardly notice the grin
ming skeleton of Algerism lurking at
Mr.. McKinleys elbow. They will be
passed on to the White House kitchen
and there regaled with the boned tur-
key and champagne that are to form
the standard and minimum volunteer
army ration if the country is saved
from the Democrats next Tuesday. The
Ohio soldier who could go to his close
district, and go back on the party after
that, would be unworthy of the little
long green note which an admiring
committee" will send him before he
walks up to the polls.
But, as We have observed above. all
this jollification is merely coincidental.
Good politics has nothing more to do
with it than 1t has with the other Han
ma fact that regiment of soldiers is TO
be in Wilmington, North Carolina. on
its way South, on election day. If the
Republican governor of that State
should happen 10 need troops in his
business on that occasion, and call on
the Republican colonel of that acciden-
tai regiment, to turn loose and shoot
few hundred citizens for the good of the
national organization, what another
coincidence that would be, to be sure!
Oh, no, your uncle, the Hon. Dollar
mark Hanna, is not by any manner of
means asleep.
