real Improvement in the quality of the

President may recommend the creation
again of the office of admiral or vice
admiral, in order to confer additional
distinction on Rear Admiral Dewey.
The office of vice admiral was first
created by act of Congress in Decem-
Der. 1864. and was filled by the appoint
ment of Rear Admiral David Farragut
In July, 1866, the office Of admiral was
created for Farragut. and on his death
was filled by David d. Porter, when
Stephen c. Rowan, who died short
time ago, became vice admiral. Then
these offices were abolished by opera
ton of law, and can only be recreated
by special act Of Congress. There is
no honor too high for Dewey.

4 Prayer.

And In thy majesty ride prosperously
because of truth and meekness and right.
eOusness: and thy right hand shall teach
thee terrible things.-Psalm XIV.
Almighty God! eternal source
OF every arm we dare to WELD.
Be Thine the thanks, as Thine the force,
On Keeling deck or stricken field:
The thunder OF the battle hour
Is but the whisper Of Thy power.
Thine is our wisdom, Thine our might;
Oh! give us, more than strength and
skill,
The calmness born Of sense of right,
Heroic competence Of will
To keep the awful tryst with death,
To know Thee in the lannon's breath.
BY Thee was given the thought that
bowed
All hearts upon the victor deck.
When high above the battles shroud
The white flag fiuttered DER the wreck.
And Thine the hand that checked the
In that wild hour Of death and fear.
o. Lord OF love! be Thine the grace
To teach. amid the wrath of war.
Sweet pity for humbled race,
Some thought of those in lands afar.
Where sad-eyed women vainly yearn
For those who never shall return.
Great Master of earth's mighty school
Whose children are of every land.
Inform with love our alien rule.
And stay US with Thy warning hand
If. tempted by imperial greed,
We in Thy watchful eyes exceed
That, in the days to come. o Lord!
When we ourselves have passed away.
And all are gone who drew the sword.
The children OF our breed may say.
There were our sires who. doubly great
Could strike, yet spare the fallen state.

The Late Sultan Of Morocco.

In the recent death of Mulai-Ab-El-
Aziz. the Sultan OF Morocco. the world
lost one of its most remarkable rulers,
for though but a boy of II years, he
subjects. The government of Morocco
is vested in the Sultan and there are
no laws, either civil or religious, that
restrict him in any way. He ruled as
do the savage kings. and there was no
law but his word.
The dead Sultan was the son of the
late Sultan Mulai-Hassan. and was
born in 1881. His father died four
years ago. and then it was that the son
took up the reins of government on
July 2, 1894, and at the age of Is be-
gan the absolute rule of about ten
times as many people as live in Maine.
He was known to his subjects as
'Emir- al Munenin," or the Prince of
true believers" and there was not a
loyal subject in the whole domain that
would not have laid down his life to
crafty the slightest desire Of the mon
arch. Perhaps that, however, was
more out of fear of his wonderful pow
err than out of any love for the individ-
ual. He was the 5Oth monarch Of the
dynasty founded by Mulai-Achmet.
and it was his proudest boast that he
was the Both lineal descendant of Ali,
the uncle Of the great Prophet Ma
homet. What other country can show
so long a continuous rule of one fam
lily? The Sultan is advised by six min
listers, forming what might be COM
pared to Presidents cabinet, COM
posed of the grand vizier, the minis
ters of foreign affairs. home affairs
and war, the chief chamberlain, the
chief treasurer and the chief admins
traitor of customs. The revenue of the
Sultan was $25O.OO0 per year. 1t seems
strange that such a government can
live for centuries and centuries without
any particular internal strife. and the
fact that a 17-year-old boy ruled g.
OO0, 900 people without a regent or any
one to interfere with his whims and
fancies, gives the dead Mulai-Ab-El-
Aziz a peculiar place in history that Is

is always interesting and sometimes
healthful and instructive to contem-
plate the views emanating from disin-
terested sources. Outside views OF
the present war have been prejudiced
In many instances, but whether they
have been for or against the United
States they have indicated unusual
concern as to the operations and re-
suits Of the conflict. The fairest opin-
ions of the foreign press have come
from London, and while they have
been characterized bA friendliness to-
ward the American cause they have
not stopped short Of criticism in some
instances.
For these reasons the summary II
the war given in an editorial in the
London Times is peculiarly interesting.
1t pays a high tribute to President Nc
Kinley, to the navy department, to
the war department-with some ex-
ceptions-and to the splendid poise
maintained by the nation throughout
the struggle.
One of the most interesting COM
ments of our London observer is that
bearing upon the attitude of the two
nations pending the peace negotiations.
1T is a noteworthy fact" says the
Times. that, while the Spaniards,
who are usually regarded as chival-
rous, romantic and medieval, have
turned first to the financial aspect of
the situation, the Americans, who are
usually supposed to be intensely
practical, have as yet hardly given a
thought to the financial or economic
side of the question. What occupies
the American people at this time is not
the cost of the war, the value of their
acquisitions or the balance of their
profit and loss account, but the moral
result of the struggle and the nature
of the ideas which it stimulates
The correctness of this view is ap-
parent to every one who stops to con-
slider popular and official. expression
concerning the peace terms. The in
ternal welfare of Cuba is much more to
the people of the United States. judg-
ing from present sentiment, than the
ultimate possibility that the island
may become new state of our Union.
The demand for retention of Porto
Rico is based not SO much upon a de-
sire to acquire immediate possessions
in the West Indies as to end forever
the reign of brutal Spanish sovereignty
in the Western hemisphere. AS to the
future of the Philippines. the question
of territory is of much less Importance
than that Of demanding reforms where
we have been forced to witness the
expressions of Spain. The whole ques-
ton of indemnity, whether it. be in the
form of money or lands, is occupying
less attention in this country than the
possible effects that such acquisitions
may have upon the advancement of the
nation morally and politically. The
vista of manifest destiny causes a
greater thrill than the recognition OF
immediate opportunity.
