The Penalty of Greatness

During the past few days Lieut. Hob
son must have realized with paralyz-
ing force the fact that the equences
Of a great act are sometimes rather
formidable 1t is doubtful whether,
when he took the Merrimac into the
entrance of Santiago Harbor, in the
midst of that rain of Shells, he had any
definite idea of what would happen 10
him If he lived to return to his naive
land. He knows now.
The beginning of his troubles cama
when he landed on American soil In
New York, in Washington. in Boston
he has been surrounded wherever he
went by a surging crowd, anxious to
shake his hand. Vainly has he tried
to slip out Of side doors, and sidle along
corridors, and TO take the modest cabs
and electric cars instead of two-horse
barouches; yainly has he supposed
that his personality would not be
known TO this well-educated and pa
triotic pOpulace. Somebody has in
variably recognized him and started the
cry, "Hurrah for Hobson!" and then.

wild mob of adorers has sprung from
nowhere, and the lieutenant's progress
is impeded until he can clear the peo-
pie out from under foot and slip .nto
some hole where his six feet of human
ty will not be visible. 1t is perfectly
certain that he did not anticipate this
treatment, because he came to the
United States with the intention OF
transacting some business, and app sared
10 think he could do it on schedule
time, and on the very day he landed in
Washington and tried to carry out
this arrangement he lost one train
and almost lost another If he were
smaller and less good-looking it nigh
simplify matters, but, unfortunately
FOR his business-like designs, he is rath-
er above the average height and of s.
tinguished appearance.
But his tribulations do not end with
the crowds Soon after his arrival
there came to light a young lady who
said that she was engaged to him and
the lieutenant was put 10 the unhappy
necessity of denying that report. And
that is doubtless only the beginning.
We are sorry for Mr.. Hobson, but the
best advice we can give him is to stay
in Cuba until the war is over, and. per
If he continues to fill up his career with
the sort of deeds he has been doing
thus far, it viii not be safe for him IL

We Do Not stand Alone.

Even if the United States stood alone
and without the hope OF outside assist
ance, in an attitude Of stern opposition
TO foreign interference with cur unas-
sailable right 10 possession of the Phil
ippine archipelago, it would be our
duty as a great and brave nation to
fight all Europe rather than to surren-
der one foot of the territory won foI
US by the military ability and heroism
Of Dewey and his men.
But we do not stand alone, or, at
least. we need not. Our position is so
strong that neither President McKin-
ley nor the political party responsible
for his chieftainship OF the nation can
afford TO weaken it by concessions to
the wishes Of continental cabinets. to
the interests particularly concerned IN
maintaining their feudal power and
sources Of princely revenue in the Phil
ippines. nor to the Tory American mo-
nopolists and holders of Spanish bonds
who would spend kings ransom rath-
er than see the islands perman ntly an
nexed TO the United States.
y
and would be criminal Both Great
Britain and japan are content that
his country should keep the Philip
pines. President Mckinley knows thai
he has but to say the word, and s.
multaneous messages to the world will
come from London and Toxic. inform
ing Europe that American occupation
and ownership will be supported, if
necessary, by armed force. Who will
dare attack the combined navies of
England. Japan and America? If we
must meet the wishes Of any outsiders.
let US consider friends. and not meddle-
some and inimical neighbors.

your people is today, more than ever

why senator Hoar Spoke.

That men are entitled to differ in
opinion from their fellows is a
principle too automatic to require
discussion. There is limit, how
ever, to go beyond which is an abuse of
the liberty of speech. Prof. Norton,
of Harvard, passed this limit in de-
uouncing the Government of the United
States and the great body Of the Amer
lean people as criminals for the prose
cution Of q war into which they enter
ed with the loftiest purposes that man
can entertain His offense deserves
every iota of the condemnation which
the public in general and Senator Hoar
of Massachusetts in a recent address,
in particular, have visited upon his
Tory head.
Although the disloyal sentiments of
the Harvard instructor are clothed in
language as gentle as Spring poem
just as the most bigoted Of men as
sumo an air of judicial fairness-they
are an irritant to the wounded hearts
of mothers, wives and sisters whose
sons husbands and brothers are dying
for the cause their country's flag
now represents. Senator Hoar says
he was strongly moved to speak about
Prof. Norton by the spectacle of
mother whose son fell at Santiago,
grieving over the thought inspired by
him that the young life had been sacri-
feed in a base, unworthy cause.
That the rebuke was timely and use
ful is shown by the number of defend
! ers who have gathered about Norton.
! BY reason of his position as a teacher
/ in an institution where the youth are
eager for new ideas and easily pass un-
! der the influence Of a man of his age
! and prestige, he is able TO do a great
! deal OF mischief, especially in destroy
! ing the natural tendency of the young
! 10 hold patriotic sentiments. That
| there are chronic GROWERS in every
! land and community is matter of ev
/ eryday experience and usually little at
tention is paid TO their melancholy
/ or malicious complaints. But, at a time
when an army is fighting to rescue
1 neighboring people from tyranny that
( has a parallel only in the darkest ages
/ of history, a man in so high a place
{
/ in order TO discourage enlistments, de-
/ cry the motives of the Government and
/ the brave men who suffer and die at
its call, wrench and embitter the wound
! ed hearts of mothers and give encour-
/ agement and moral support to the enc
/ my, Il is well that he should be handled
without gloves.
Senator Hoar is entitled to praise for
taking up this duty. His career as a
public man has not always been such
as to commend itself to the reasonable
and the sincere, but considering the
lifelong friendship between Prof. Nor
ton and himself and his fore-know.edg
that a small but noisy faction of NAL
contents, who are perennially shocked
by displays of patriotic emotion would
attack him, ne has shown a courage
and a regard for duty that are
highly creditable to his courageous
Americanism.

THE CITY OF PONCE.
Ex-Consui Wilson Says the Inhabi-
tants Desire Annexation

Mr.. Jay G. Wilson. ex-consul OF the
United States to Ponce. Porto Rico is
in the city In a talk with a Times report

a stronghold Of those who were in favor
Of annexation sixteen years ago, when he
was on the island.
The population of the city was about

to any great extent since that time. The
population was made UP largely OF those
persons who are employed upon the plan
tations in the vicinity of the town. The
garrison at tina; time was not particularly
well drilled. and DO not think that Spain
has ever taken great pains TO provide
any part of Porto Rico, outside of San
Juan. with a military force of any great
strength. Miles surely Will not meet with
any very great resistance"
How was the feeling there then with
regard to this country" he was asked.
Why. there Were many persons who
were heartily in favor Of annexation and
they did not scruple to express their Opin-
ions, although there was considerable
risk attached 10 such speech. There were
many Spauiards VINO were not altogether
loyal and the foreigners generally placed

it existed, and openly declared that they

story is significant, but exactly of what,
we are in doubt. Is the implication that
