OUR FRIENDS, THE ENEMY

1t is gratifying news that the two
houses of the Spanish Cortes have ac-
ceded by decisive votes to the terms
of the peace protocol This puts at rest
the fear that Spain would at the last
resist the cession of Porto Rico and re-
fuse acknowledgment of the freedom
Of Cuba. So far as those possessions
are concerned then, we have only detail
as to evacuation, and some other terms
to consider
But when it comes to the question of
the settlement Of affairs in the Philip
pines. we may expect resistance to our
demands. and q long and unpleasant
contention. The news from Manila is
that the insurgents have retired from
in front Of the city in accordance with
the demands Of General Otis, and that
the disposition among them is gaining
strength and volume to make terms
with the Americans, rather than to at
tempt self government out of hand
rather amusing feature of the sit
uation in the Philippines is the new at
titude of the Catholic clergy there. They
have suddenly become convinced that
their interests lie with American occu-
patton Of the islands. They are now
declaring that the successful future of
ernment; that they wish their churches
to have the protection of this tolerant
and free nation; that it Is impossible
for Spain to resume control, while the
suggestion that the insurgents may be
able to establish a free, independent
and stable government is secuted by
them
This sudden change is prompted by
self-interest, of course, but that is by
no means ignoble. 1t is not so long ago
that these same priests were leading
our marines and blue jackets into death
traps, and We're calling down the
vengeance of heaven upon the invad-
ers, and protesting that Spain and the
church were being ruthlessly and i'm
piously robbed of their century-old pos
sessions and their inalienable rights.
These same priests were teaching rhe
F1lippinos that the Americans were cut
throats and sacreligious beings, who on
entry into the city would desecrate
Gods affairs, enslave the young, butcher
the men and make the women their
concubines. All which proves anew
that religious teachers accommodate
themselves very often to situations. and
on both sides OF contentious enlist God
as the friend and hope of their cause

The Tennessee volunteers at San
Francisco have won the hearty con-
tempt of the people of that city. They
seem to have been a bad lot from the
first, quarreling among themselves,
visiting the lowest and vilest quarters
of the city, resisting the police, indulg-
ing in the pastime of attempting to
lynch negroes for the fun Of it, going
upon drunken bouts and generally mis-
behaving so that they have not only
kept their own guardhouses filled to
overf7owing, but have well filed the city
prisons Not all the men in the regi-
ment are bad, of course, but it would
seem that very large number are
loose, dissolute and drunken fellows.
Judging from reported remarks and
conduct of some of the officers of the
regiment, the men are not given first

HERBERT BISMARCK.
Falls Heir to Both the Title and

The title of the late Prince Bismarck
descends to his son Herbert, a man of
strong character and excellent attain
ments, though, of course, at a disad-
vantage from being the successor to SO
illustrious a father. Not only the title.
but also the estate at F'riedrichsruhe,
will fall to this son. He is not counted
an agreeable man, and seems to prefer
to make enemies than otherwise. His
father had a high opinion of Herbert,
and listened to the counsel Of his son

LAUNCHING THE SHIP.

The new battleship Illinois is about
to be launched and the debate is again
on as to how she shall be baptized as
she breaks away for the waters waiting
to receive her. Those who favor ad-
hesion to the old custom of drenchinS
her bow with the contents of a bottle
Of champagne are opposed by the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union, and
a. host of others, who insist that clear,
cold water is more appropriate and IS
devoid Of suggestive evil.
A class between these two object to
the breaking of the champagne bottle
on the ships PROV as a waste of good
liquor. Still another class outside of
all these exclaim against the custom
of baptizing a ship at all. They declare
that baptism is a religious rite indica-
tive of reception into a churchly fold
and that it has no significance what
ever in the case of the launching of a
ship. But this order of men is in par
tial error The ceremony is one Of
christening, and the sprinkling of the
fluid is in this case but a baptismal in
cident of the ceremony of naming a
child, which is at the same time re-
ceived into the fold of the church; that
is. it is the christening incident alone
that involves the baptismal one
But right here the cold water people
ought to make good point. Baptism
being an essential part of christening
ceremony, then water only should be
used, since in the ceremony of naming
and receiving, water alone is used and
no church seals the ceremony with
liquor of any kind. The growing opin-
ion is in favor Of the use of water only,
or Of complete abandonment of the
christening ceremony of the ship. The
vessel is really named before her keel
is laid. Her launching gives her name
no greater significance and adds moth
ing to the stability of the title with
which she is graced. Not that the
launching Of the ship shall be unac-
companied by ceremonial and celebra-
ton, by no means, but the custom Of
wine breaking may be well abandoned
without impairing other ceremonial and
celebration
1t is a custom only, and one that ap-
pears to have no sanctity. It's abandon
ment will crafty a large and respect
able element Of our people, and cannot
in good conscience offend any one, ex-
cept, perhaps, the very few who ad-
here to custom for no better reason
than that 'it has been so in the past"
which, is by the way, the poorest of
reasons for anything. Progress and
reform spurn it always

Our esteemed contemporary, the San
Francisco Bulletin is not much given
to joking. but assuredly it dealt in
witty sarcasm when the other evening,
in speaking of the hearing before the
Governor of extradition questions in
the case of Mrs. Botkin, it said:
1t is possible that the Governor will
hear the application in this city, al
though the point has not been definite
ly settled. Governor Budd is willing to
attend the proceeding here if he can
arrange his affairs SO that he may re-
main for a few days from Tuesday
away from Sacramento.
The presumption of law is that The
Governor resides at the political Cap
ital Of the State. and has his executive
office here where in all reasonable hours
he can be found, earning the salarypa
to him for the discharge Of his duties.
Such, indeed, is the command of the
law. Our contemporary therefore
must have written it's caustic lines
either unwittingly, or else with a lofty
regard for the presumption of law and
regardless Of the fact that this pre-
sumption constantly suffers violence.
The idea Of the Governor arranging
his affairs so as to remain away"
short time from the Capital is little
the most sarcastic suggestion Of the
day and the hour, in the face of the
fact that the Governor is rarely at the
Capital. and when he does put in an
appearance it is SO brief and hurried
that the people are left in doubt as to
the reality Of the visitation.
