The SineMs of War.

The call of the President for 1875, 900
fighting men, and the proposition of
the Ways and Means Committee to
ask the tax payers for 500, 100000 of
added yearly revenue, land to empower
the borrowing of $5000O0,0O0, will
bring home to even the most unthink-
ing and unpatriotic citizen the fact of
actual existing war.
There is no doubt that the 125, 1000
soldiers will stand forth on the in
slant, as soon as they can be mustered
into the service. =.
There is just as little doubt that the
people of the United States stand
ready to respond with their money
and to pledge the national credit for
anyamount deemed necessary to push
the war we have entered upon to a
swift and victorious ending.

With the volunteer army called for
under the Presidents proclamation
joined to the increased regular army
provided for in the bill, which passed
the House on Saturday and which
now awaits action by the Senate,
there would be at the disposal of the
Chief Executive a force of 1856, 900 men
81 900 in the regular service and
$4,000 volunteers. acquisitions upon
the Governors of the various States
for their respective quotas of volun
teers are to be sent out at once, and
in the present temper of the public
mind the popular response should be
swift and impressive. Within two
weeks, according to the calculations
Of War Department officials, the
movement of volunteer troops in large
numbers to the Gulf ports should be
well under way. Recruiting of volun-
teers and for the regular army will be
carried on coincidently, with a view
to the mastering of formidable mil
itary force in the briefest possible
period of time.
The details of organization of the
powerful army to be thus created
have already been worked out in the
War Department. After being mus
tered into the Federal service, recruits
will be assembled and organized at
their respective State rendezvous,
and their company and regimental
officers appointed by the Governors.
The Secretary of War, under the SUI
pervision of the President, will then
combine them into brigades and
divisions, and select their general and
staff officers. When the full volun-
teer and regular strength of the army
shall have been assembled in the
South four army corps will be formed,
each with a maximum array of about
$4,000. These corps will be divided
into divisions and brigades, with one
regular and two volunteer regiments
in each brigade. Commanding Off
GERS will be largely drawn from the
regular army list, although many
veteran officers now in civil life will
also be called upon in this capacity.
With an army composed of picked
men, and skilled and experienced
commanding officers, the work of
organizing the troops for active serv-
ice should proceed with unexampled
celebrity.
1t has not been anticipated in any
official quarter that there will be any
undue delay in securing recruits for
the force to be thus organized for
offensive operations against Spain.
Thrre should be, and doubtless will
be Is generous rivalry among the
STAT for the honor of responding

IT WOULD be an easy task for the
American fleet which sailed away
from Hong Kong the other day to cap
ture Manila and Iloio, and to hold, in
effect, the entire Philippine group of
islands for indemnity or ransom in
the future. These islands-with a
population of over 100000, vast su-
gar, hemp and tobacco growing indus
tries, and large undeveloped mineral
resources the value of which can
scarcely be estimated-are Spain's
chief colonial treasure. AS prize of
war, or as security for indemnity, the
Philippines offer extraordinary temp
tations to any power at war with
Spain; and our Asiastic squadron
may turn up in that quarter at any
time,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April %, 1898.
President Mckinley hopes the war
with Spain will be short, but he is
not allowing his hope to prevent his
making all necessary arrangements to
fight it to victorious end, long or
short. His call for 1876, 900 volunteers
specifies that the men shall volunteer
to serve for two years, unless sooner
discharged, and the war revenue bill,
prepared under his direction by the
Ways and Means committee of the
House, which is now before Congress
and which will be put through with
out and unnecessary loss of time, is
another indication of his intention to
be prepared for any emergency. 1t
provides for an addition of 800, 900, 600

by internal revenue taxation; for the

them is "Service to the Weak.


The great parable of brotherly love
shows us that the neighbor of the ma
ton that fell among thieves does not
establish its neighborliness by being
rich, or by being on the other side of
narrow highway, but by tenderly
hitting up the wounded, and by fear
flessly driving off the prosecutors. Our
attitude is the attitude OF the Good
Samaritan. Our justification for in
terfering with those who are not
blood of our blood, nor flesh of our
flesh is simply his ustification-"Isaw
need and | met it, saw suffering
and | bent to relieve it; | saw evil
treatment and undid the work of
the thieves" And the morning after
the relief he went on his way. So
shall we. We have neither part nor
parcel in Cuba when the deed of mer-
ciful force is done.
When the sick are refreshed, and
comfort is given, we have our duties
here at home, and they their privile-
ges there at their home, and the two
homes are not one. Thus just because
no nation on earth can read selfishness
into our majestic rebukings and our
tender ministrations, no one has
reason for putting restraint upon us.
We declare that nearness entails
responsibility; for the strong one who
can defend is the one who ought to
defend the near one who is oppressed.
We declare that force must be met
by force for savage beasts have no
respect for gentle voices. A tighten
ing grip upon the throat, and be-
laboring cudgel are the only argu-
ments for blood-hounds whose jaws
drip with innocent blood.
We declare that the moderation of
the stencil of cruelty and of war
beneath our very nostrils has been
promised again and again, only each
time for the promise to be broken,
and we therefore declare that Spain
has neither power to put down the
insurgent government nor set up the
autonomous.

Did you go to the bicycle races yes terday? It's intensely interesting and exciting to watch them go round and round. each one pumping his machine for dear life and each one with his chin on the handle-bars, looking for all the world, as they go down the stretch with their backs bumped up, like an anfmat- ed turtle. Everybody felt sorry as they saw them fighting for first place that not every one could get prize, that some one or more must come away dis appointed but In that kind of meet such results must be. But how differ ent 1t is at Lighthouse Point, for there everybody wins prize, for no one goes to the Point but what he comes back feeling better, happier and stronger for the delightful trip.

Clothing Caught Fire and She Received
 Fatal Injuries.
 Derby, Sept. 13.-A terrible burning accident occurred on Housatonic ave- nue this morning when Angelina, the younger daughter of MT. and Mrs. Thomas Kendrick, received injuries that will cause her death.
 She had found her way to the home of some other children who had been left alone by their parents and in their play they lighted lamp. from which the clothing of the Kendrick girl caught fire.
 The others screamed for aid, but be- fore assistance arrived the child was enveloped in flames. Blankets were quickly applied and the flames were smothered. but not until every inch of ception of her feet, had been burned off, leaving nothing but the raw flesh, terribly scorched, in places.
 Medical aid was summoned and the injuries attended to- during all of which time the little girl was perfectly con scious, doing exactly as bidden by the doctors.
 Owing to the intensity of the shock, however, her nerves were too paralyzed to feel the pain of her burns. The child cannot possibly live. The room also caught fire, but the flames were extin- guished without much loss.
