How Sea-Power Counts.
philadelphia Press.)

Was there ever more significant
Vindication of sea power?
This country of 70, 600, 900, with unex-
anpled resources, was about to occupy
Cuba last week III overwhelming force.
Suddenly four Spanish armored crui-
sers appear. They are not as strong as
our united fleet. but they are swifter
and their plans no one knows.
Instantly all plans of an invasion
have to be postponed until these cruis-
ers are dealt with. The troops on shore
mark time. our ships at sea are gath
cred from hither to thither. All waits
on the next sea fight. Its fate settles
the war.
Sea power counts and in the world s
wide work it is the first and last thing
which does count. The United States
must have a navy second only to Great
Britain's. Anything short of this is ma
tional peril and national lack.
Fourteen years ago a naval board of
experts recommended eighteen battle
ships. The report was laughed at. Does
any one laugh now? With even twelve
battleships we should have saved the
cost Of this war and for the direct cost
of this war sixty battleships could. be
built Which is cheaper War or the
preparation which insures peace?

UNDER SEALED ORDERS.
Why Ships Are Thus Sent on errands by
the President

The custom of having war ships sail
under sealed orders has arisen from
the desire Of maritime powers to prevent
their plans from becoming known to the
enemy.
In the American navy such orders come
from the President, and are delivered to
a commander of a ship or squadron by a
confidential messenger, who knows moth
ing Of their contents.
Sometimes they are in cipher, but they
are always sealed with the official seal Of
the navy department. and the package
cannot be opened until the time marked
on it. which is usually several hours af-
ter the hour of leaving port.
BY this precaution the newspapers are
prevented from disclosing prematurely
movements which may be of the greatest
Importance. and the spies of the enemy
are rendered useless so far as their abiI-
ity TO discover the secret of such move
mentS is concerned.
Sailing under sealed orders is now the
common naval practice in time of war
These instructions are found in the
packet of sealed orders. which is
opened when well out TO sea.

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Coming a Vacuum.
(Philadelphia Record.)

The Pittsburg Dispatch puts into the
heads of the Democrats and Populsts
in the United States Senate the numor-
Gus suggestion of coming all the
"seigniorage" Of silver in the treasury
into medals for the heroes Of the war.
This would he making much better
use Of silver than coming it into half
weight dollars. But the difficulty as to
the suggestion is that there is no such
thing as this alleged Seignoriage" in the
treasury. a "seigniorage" could arise
only from the profits Of the mintage Of
silver for Individual owners, at IS to
with gold. There are no such profits
and the "seigniorage" exists only in
the dreams of the cheap money mon
gers. The silver in the treasury so far
from being a source Of profit, has cost
the government and people much more
than il is worth. In attempting what
4 bram S. Hewitt called coming a vac
uum" the silverites in Congress would
make this cost still greater, but, fortu-
nately for the country, they cannot
avail themselves of war to inaugurate
a policy which the people have repu-
dated at the ballot-box. Coming vac
uums and imaginary seigniorages Of
silver into sound money is as vain and
delusve as the transmutation Of metals

There is good deal of mystery about
the trip of the Gussie to the north coast
Of Cuba. Some reports say it was sue
cessful, others say that it was a fail
ure, and Captain Dorst, in command of
the expedition, reports that he is sat
isfied. Nevertheless, it seems certain
that the vessel was repulsed and did
not land her troops, although Captain
Dorst says be landed arms for the in
surgents. If so, there is every reason to
believe that they fell into the hands of
the Spaniards, who We're assembled on
the beach in sufficient force to prevent
the landing of the men. 1t was lucky
that the men We're not landed, as no
support was sent TO them, and they
would have been simply slaughtered by
the enemy.

Jamaica and other West Indian for

Jamaica and other West indian for
eign colonies now complain bitterly be-
cause the mail service between these
islands and the United States is inter-
rupted by the Spanish-American war.
This naturally draws attention to the
fact that United States ports form a
sort Of clearing house, both mail and
Geographic, for all the islands in the
West Indies, though the latter claim
allegiance to half a dozen different
European governments. In this re-
spect alone the present war has laid a
heavy hand upon the free interchange
of advices between various European
governments and their West Indian
colonies. The few remaining cables
that are yet intact are almost certain

gerents before the war progresses

reason for a future consensus of the
European powers that a short and de-
cisive war will be best for all con-
celned.

Sentimental women of Georgia have
been deluging with flowers the Spanish

at Fort Mcpherson and have been
roundly scored for so doing. We in
cline to the belief that the hotheaded
critics have entirely mistaken the
motives of the women who carried bo-
quets 10 these Wretched Spanish cap
tiVes on American soil. It has become
customary for mawkish sentimentalists
to oyerburden convicted murderers in
our city jals with floral offerings, and
perhaps these Georgia women We're of
the same caliber. When a Spaniard
expects momentarily to be hanged and
instead is presented with a large com
plmentary bouquet of flowers he is at
least justified in clubbing rs a para

of a wonderful career of public use
fulness. rounded out in rich fulness.
William Ewart Gladstone has stood
for more than half century as thI
great representative of reform in the
British government AS the leader OF
the Liberals in parliament, and four
times head of the government. he has
been able to accomplish more than any
other man Of his times for the purifi-
cation, liberalization and strengthen
ing of the British Empire He has
been the most admired man in the
world. He is accorded real greatness
of character. His wisdom, his honor,
his vast learning and critical power,
his strength and his fine personality
all combine with the memory of the
great accomplishments of his life to
place him supreme among his fellows,
and make him in truth the grand
old man" of a great nation.
Mr.. Gladstone's success in public
life was due, primarily, to his quick
perception, which amounted almost to
intuition. He saw at a glance the
salient features of a situation which
others mastered only after long study.
He had a remarkable faculty for guag-
ing the popular will. In fact, all of his
faculties have been and were to the
end marvellous. We are unable to re-
cali such an instance of versatility.
He has been equally at home in reiig-
ion, science and state-craft, and he
has made most valuable contributions
to the eXegeSS of Greek literature.
The fate of those who attempt many
things has not been his. 1t would be
difficult to say in what division of
best. He is more widely known as
statesman, because in this capacity he
has been brought more directly unde,
the eye of the world, and it is by his
craftsmanship that he will be judged
hereafter
Time after time Gladstone has stood
at the front of great movements of the
popular will, and he has had numerous
differences with his Queen. Within the
year or two just passed, although
Withdrawn from public life, he has led
the whole Englsh-speaking world in
an expression of righteous Indignation
against the unspeakable horrors Of
the great assassin and for the succor
race. He has been the friend of the
Irish. To him was due the extension
of the suffrage in England, the discs
Enlistment of the church in Ireland,
and the movement for home rule has
always counted on him as it's tower Of
strength. Gladstone was q great ora
tor and writer as we'll as "a great states
man. His various debates on political
and financial questions, both in parlia-
ment and on the public stump are
masterpieces of eloquence and power
