WAR EXPENSES.

In spite of the unanimity of the
American people on the war question,
there is much angry feeling in Con
gress about the ways and means of
raising money. The silver men are
resolved not to permit an issue of
bonds that are payable in gold. II
they cannot secure a provision for
their payment in silver, they viii
consent to an issue of paper money.
But they will not consent to any gold
standard.
In the meantime the war is run on
credit, at the rate of 100000 per
day.
OF course, money for its expenses
will in time be provided. Both silver
and gold men are equally patriotic.
But even in war times local politics
must be carefully attended to in every
part of the country. The results of
the war may seriously affect the vote
in the next election.
The war is demoralizing the finances
of the country, and there will be, II
it continues, a repetition, on smaller
scale Of the financial troubles that fol-
lowed the Civil war. That is to be ex-
Dected.
How much of the war debt the Amer
lean people will pay as they go, and
how much will be passed over to an
other generation to pay will be a very
interesting subject. Perhaps the bur
den will be equally divided.

THE ROMAN CATHOLICS AND
THE WAR

1t was believed by those who can
see no virtue or goodness in the Ro-
man Catholic Church, that the Amer
lean branch of it would show no
desire to fight the Spaniards, who are
Catholics. Many good Protestants
were not only surprised, but "aggra-
waited when the Archbishop OF the
Catholic Church addressed a letter to
the clergy and laity, endorsed by the
Apostolic Delegate, in these words:
We, the members of the Catholic
Church, are true Americans, and as
such are loyal to our country and our
flag. and obedient to the highest de-
crees and the supreme authority of
the Nation. We are not now engaged
in a war of section against section,
or State against State, but we are
united as one man against foreign
enemy and a common foe. II, as we
are taught by our holy Church, love Oh
country is next to love of God, duty
imposed on us by all laws, human
and divine. then it is our duty to
labor and to pray for the temporal
and spiritual well-being of the brave
soldiers who are battling for our be-
loved country. Let us faithfully beg
the God of battles to crown their
arms on land and sea with victory
and triumph, and to stay unnecessary
effusion of blood, and speedily to
restore peace to our beloved land and
people.
Many Protestant writer's have spent
much time in past years in predicting
that this Church would betray Repub-
lican institutions in America, on the
first opportunity, and thousands OF
prayers have been offered in America
that the Scarlet Woman would be
driven off the continent. 1t seems
rather mean that the Lord has in
cIined her hearts to patriotism.
strengthens the Church, which already
is the largest in America.

UNION IN THE CABINET.

1t is not mere eXpediency, but good
political morals, that demand unity in
the Cabinet. The President with his
advisers is theoretically, and should
practically be one. This is the rule
in civilized States, and should be so
here unless the climate here modifies
conditions. The Governments which
are laughing stocks show the members
of the Executive constantly getting be-
tween each others legs. Unity in the
Executive is a political maxim. We
have an illustration or it, in the re-
cent retirement of Postmaster Geary
from Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet, because
he could not agree with the President
regarding the Cuban matter.
Tom Corwin illustrated this want
of unity in an American Cabinet by
this story:
Captain of a north river schooner
to the mate standing on the bows):
Here you. / don't want your sass.
You take care of your end of the boat
and I'll take care of my end" CThe
anchor chain suddenly rattles and the
Captain speaks): What you doing
mate?" (Mate): only anchoring my
end, you can do as you like with your
end
In a smooth sea, or a calm, the cap
tain and mates may disagree without
harm perhaps. When the squall strikes
it is one head only or she keels over.
The first primer in politics teaches
that there must be unity in the eX-
ecutive. 1t must be so in everything.
There may be division, which usually
means weakness. behind the scenes,
but there must be unity in front and
before the world. A five headed bull
IS only valuable in a dime museum.
Political unity in the Executive is one
of the oldest maXims. The pot house
politicians know it well enough, and
with this knowledge scoop the scholar
in politics." Napoleon said one poor
general is better than two good
generals over the same command
Perhaps it will be said that this may
he true in France, but is not true IN
Hawaii. Climate again. But this is an
axiom in craftsmanship IS solid as any
mathematical truth.

THE "JUNKETING" WOOD CHUCK.

The Rev. H. w. Beecher often told
a story about his family dos. When
he was a pup he once ran a woodchuek
into a hole on the farm, and spent the
day scraping and barking at 1t. Inc
woodchuck left the following night,
but the pup didn't know it. So near
" every day for five years he regu-
Iarly parked at the hole. but never
saw the woOdchuck.
We have a Board of Health hole,
which the McCandless watch dogs
have been barking at furiously since
the beginning of the Legislative ses-
sion, when the "junketing' woodchuck
ran into it. With the instincts of Mr..
Beecher's dog they dive at the hole
regularly, and are barking out their
throats, and may do so while life lasts.

THE JUNTA is NOT HOSTILE.

New York, Septem ber l6.-H. S. Ru-
bens. counsel Of the Cuban Junta here,
today denied the statement that the visit
to Cuba of Benjamin Guerra of the New
York aJunta was for the purpose Of
harmonizing Cuban factional differences
and presenting united front against any
attempt at American annexation.
Mr.. Rubens said that there was nothing
to show that the government was not as
sincere now in its promises TO secure
Cuban independence as at the time 1t
sent it's ultimatum to Spain. Mr.. Guerra,
no more than any other Cuban leader,
had any idea that there was any danger
OF American annexation. There is no
feeling In Cuba and among Cub ans, but
of gratitude to the American 6 overnment
for Intervention.
"The Cuban people are not reponsible
for opinions or actions of any individuals
or small group of individuals, who may
disagree with the majority.
"Aaunanifesto said to be issued by q
aatonomists which deprecates annexation,
or anAAmerican proteotorate, or anything
less than com mplete Independence OF the
island and advocates the establishment OF
cordial relations between the Spanish and
Cubans, does not reflect the attitude Of
the separatists. .

IT'S ALL SETTLED.
Terms of Evacuation of Porto Rico
Complete.

San Juan de Porto Rico, September
16-The. details of the evacuation of the
island were practically completed Mt a
meeting of the commission held today,
and all now depends upon when the
Madrid government shall place transports
at the disposal of Captain General Macias
for the embarkation of tho troops.
Failure to send transports will embarrass
the Spnaish commissioners but the Amer
lean commissioners will probably not
set an absolute time limit for the evacu-
alton without instructions from Wash
ington.
The Spaniards do not desire to concen-
trate all their troops here for fear of en-
dangering their health, until they are
informed when the transports will ar
rive. In addition to Lares, Aguandilla
and San Sebastian, the Spanish will
vacuate the island Of Vieques on Monday.

THE FLEET REDUCED.
Lot of Vessels to be Ordered Out of Com
mission.

Washington, September 16.-Secretary
Long this afternoon issued an important
order re-organizing the North Atlantic
squadron. The feet is reduced from a
force of about one hundred vessels, to
thirty.two, the remainder being detached
ready for disposition in the future. The
four vessels of the Morgan line, the
Prairie, Yosemite, Yankee, and Dixie
with the auxiliary cruisers Badger ana
Panther, are ordered to be laid up IN re-
serve at League island. The fleet as reor-
ganized will consist of the Indiana, MASS
achusetts, Texas, New York, Brooklyn.
Amphitrite, Puritan, Miantonomoh, ler-
ror, Cincinnati, Montgomery, NewarK'
San Francisco, Detroit, Marblehead, May
flower, New Orleans, Bancroft, Marietta.
Topeka, Castine, Nashville, Wilmington,
Machias, Princeton, Fern, Hist, Reso-
Lutte, Poto mao, Scorpion, Alyarado.
Another order from the secretary put p
the following vessels. now at Norlolk
navy yard out of commission: siren,
Strange, Tecumseh, Viking, Wasp,
F'rolic. Apache.
They are not needed now and their
crews will be transferred to other SHIPS,
where they are not short service men.
OF the Morgan ships which are to go IN
to reserve at League island, the Dixie IS
manned by Maryland naval militia men
while the Badger, which served as ma
rlne transport as we'll as cruiser, carries
New Jersey men. These will be honor
ably mustered out Of the naval service.
There will be no change in the flag
officers of the North Atlantic squadron in
consequence OF the er- reorganization. Rear
Admiral Sampson, though in Havana on
detached duty, will still command the
squadron, while Commodore Philip will
command the second section of the fleet.
This reorganization of the fleet is
probably the beginning of the execution
of programme for the reorganization of
all of the forces on the various stations,
which will include the revival of the
European station, the rehabilitation Of
the South Atlantic station and perhaps
the creation of Southern Pacific station.

CROWDS GOING TO PORTO RICO.

New York, September 16.-Now that
the war is practically ended, the eager
ness of people to reach Porto Rico and
Cuba to take advantage of the prosperous
times anticipated from tine revival OF in
dustries of those islands, is being shown
at the steamship Offices ct the offices OF
the Ward line this morning, the doors
were crowded by people seeking Passage
on the Ithaka, which sailed for Santiago
de Cuba and many were turned away be-
cause of the impossibility Of furnishing
further accommodations. At the offices
of Miller. Bull s. Knowlton. whose
steamers run to Porto Rioo, there was the
same scene. They have refused to book
any more passengers on the Arkadla,
which sails on the 2lst inst for San Juan
and also on the Winifred which sails
October 9th on the same route, because OF
the complete absorption of all accommo-
dation on these steamers. The steamship

UNHEALTHY SEASON.

Administration Officials Do Not Attach
tility Part of Cubans to United
States-AIl is Pleasant So Far.
Washington, September 16-The mill
tary movements are being directed rapid
lly toward the Assem- bling of large army
in southern stations for winter camps
and preparatory to the military occupa-
tion of Cuba and Porto Rico About TO-
900 troops are now located in the South,
and orders will be issued sending the 1sts
I'd. 9Th, 9th and 10th cavalry from Mon
tauk to southern stations. The Sd cavalry
already has gone south and the 1st and
Cd infantry were yesterday ordered to
Admission and the Sth and 9th to Hunts
vile. This leaves the 7th, Gath and 25th
infantry, the I'd volunteers engineers, and
Co.'s G and II fourth artillery at Mon
tauk. Within day or two these last
remaining troops will be ordered South
and Camp Wikoff will be no more.
The purpose Is to establish winter
camps between the 3ist and 85th parallels.
The major partsof ..the army thus as
sembled is destined for service In Cuba,
with a much smaller force for ? Porto
Rico and a reserve in the winter camps.
1t is not the intention, however, to send
the army of occupation to Cuba until
after the unhealthy Eeason has passed
and meanwhile the troops will be put in
the best possible condition.
On account of the desire of the war
department that no chances shall be TAX
en- in the way of exposure of the troops to
the dangers of the unhealthy season, no
impatience is felt on account of the rath-
er slow progress of the work OF the COM
mission of evacuation at Havana.
Great satisfaction Is expressed at the
progress being made in Porto Rico and
the evacuation is expected to OCCUR speed
lily; but in connection the occupation of
Porto Rico the same anxiety as to the
health of the army is not felt nor are
there similar difficulties in connection
with establishing the government, Porto
Rico being at once part OF the territory
Of the United States. In assembling and
organizing the army for the occupation
of Cuba the consideration of possible
trouble with the organized Insurgents Is
not being taken into serious account
The Havana dispatches stating that there
has been developed a strong sentiment
in favor of independence and opposition
to annexation" coupled with hostility to
the United States is read with rather an
air of amusement by officials of the ad-
ministration who suggest that it is sb-
surd to give as reason for hostility on the
part of the Cubans towards the United
States that the Cubans are in favor OF en-
tire Independence. The purposes of the
Cubans to establish stable Independents
form of government is strictly in aocor
dance with the terms of the Presidents
proclamation, and therefore furnishes no
reason for feeling of hostility. All the
information in the possession of the war
department, it is said, indicates the most
cordial relations of harmony of purpose
between the Cubans and the representa-
tlves Of this government.
