1t is the theory of some that the Maine
was blown up by Cuban insurgents order
70 precipitate war between the United
States and Spain. This is a very fanciful
theory. but If it should prove true the
United States would have just claim for
indemnity against Spain. This results from
not having recognized. the insurgents as
belligerents. AS long as we refrain from
doing that we can hold the Spanish govern
ment responsible for all losses or injury
inflicted on American property or citizens
in Cuba or Cuban waters by Spanish sub
5ects. whether insurgents or not If we had
recognized the insurgents as belligerents we
could not hold Spain responsible for any act
OF theirs. tf....

NnttonnI militia RiII.

WASHINGTON. March 9.-The Marsh
bill to promote the efficiency of the national
militia was reported to the House
to-day. with several minor amendments.
The bill is the result OF thorough study
of the National Guard and it's use in time
of need by either state or federal authority.
1t repeats all the obsolete prisons Of the
original enactment Of 1892, still in force. and
rids the general militia law of much VERDI
age. Among other things the penalty for
disobeying the call of the President is made
subject to a court-martial and old and un-
serviceable material used by the militia is
allowed TO be turned in by the States and
credited at their value

The Mexican Herald, published in Mexico
City, has an editorial criticising Prof. Won
Hoist for his opposition to the annexation
of Hawaii. The article has a strong flavor
of manifest destiny and favors the idea of a
greater Mexico as well as greater United
States. After reviewing the different ac
QUESTIONS of territory made by the United
States approving them all, and the con-
tlnual westward movement of the course of
empire, it says:
We sympathize with the expansion of the
American Union because we cherish for
Mexico similar policy of growth, but in
this case southw ard. Let the Norman
German peoples CT the United States go
north and west, and let Mexico, as the
leader of Latin-American development, adj
the stimulation, through the propaganda
of a great idea of a sentiment, favorable
lean peoples inhabiting the Central Amer
lean region and of the republics of Colon
bia and of Venezuela. Geographically, the
foundation for this unity exists; great
sea stretching from the mouth of the Rio
Grande to that of the OrinOco, and west
ward from Cuba, Santo Domingo and the
chain of islands down to Trinidad, will be
the scene Of the commercial activity of kin
dred peoples Joined in the bonds of COM
mon acknowledgement, traditions and race
being the same Such a nation would show
to the world that the I4atin-Americans were
a practical people and were not passively
awaiting the coming of the despoiler. The
ardent hopes of Bolivar would be realized,
and dignity and scope given to the DELHI
erations of the parliament of the imperial
nation seated by the shores Of the South
ern sea.
Now, there is something for our mug
wumps to think about. Here is Mexican
patriot who actually approves the acquisi-
ton of Texas New Mexico and California
from Mexico by the United States and hopes
the latter will continue to expand towards
the setting sun if only Mexico is left a
free field to the southwark. That Mexican
would make pretty good American. Any
how, he is no mugWump.

THE MORAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
VOTE.

at will be worth more than 900 to
the American people to know that the great
heart of this people is unit in favor of
Grosvenor pending consideration of the bill
appropriating $50, 900 for the national de-
fense, has been re-echoed by millions Of
Americans since. 1t is worth a great deal
to any people to be lifted out of themselves
and above all sordid, routine and partisan
influences to point where they breathe the
invigorating air and get the broad view
that pertains to pure patriotism. Such an
experience in national life is worth as much
more than any money value as spiritual
development is higher than material. 1t
does not come too often in the history of
any people. There has never been but one
other before the present within the memory
of men now living. That was the great up
rising after the firing on Fort Sumter, but
that differed from the present one in that
it was the uprising of divided instead of
a united people. One represented. for the
time at least, national separation, while the
other represents national unfcation. This
is the lesson of the vote in Congress-na-
tional unification. We all know that the
passions of the civil war have subsidized and
its bitter memories are for the most part
buried. In recent years there have been
many evidences of this in fraternal reunions,
patriotic celebrations and popular demon
STATIONS, but there has been nothing to APP
proach in moral splendor and significance
the vote of 81 to none, including every
Southerner as well as every Northerner,
every Confederate as well as every Union
veteran, in favor of appropriating $4,000, 900
for the national defense. A man must be
past middle age to have witnessed the great
uprising and demonstration Of loyalty in
1861. The present generation has had no
corresponding spectacle and baptism of
patriotism such as every generation needs,
until now. Now it knows something of the
uplifting and unifying force of the senti-
ment of patriotism in a great people. The
action Of Congress is an official declaration
of national unification as significant as the
original Declaration of independence. While
one declared that these united colonies are,
and of right ought to be, free and indie
pendent States the other establishes that
under the new order of things we are more
than ever one Nation and one people.
