CONTEMPORARY OPINION

LIBERTY THE GREAT TEACHER.
The best school for training freemen
is freedom. A taste Of it works Won
ders. The hope OF It makes men big
ger and better. See what dignity 1t
has added to the Cuban character.
Town loungers, cafe poseurs, half
breed peasants and negro field hands
have been transformed by the hope OF
freedom and their struggle to achieve
il unto the rugged and intrepid soldiers
OF Gomez and Garcia. Every man who
has shouldered a gun for Cuba Libre
has received an education in citizen
ship.
The Philippines. like the Cubans,
have been in slavery to Spain for cen
turies. During their rebellions heretofore
they have been as cruel and savage as
their oppressors. But Dewey's victory
has caused the sun OF hope to rise for
them, and the change from mere des-
peration TO the courage OF men lighting
for a freedom that is in sight has civil
lied their methods. Aguinaldo spares
his prisoners and treats them as an
American cOnqueror would do The
Philippines are learning how to be free
That lesson cannot be learned in
slavery. Men can never grow to man
hoods stature in degrading conditions
The art of self-government, like the ar
OF swimming, can be acquired through
experience alone. Opportunity invites
and draws men upward irresistibly
Even a Bushman, given an environ
ment inducing self-respect, would be
become self-respecting. The sole wa,
to fit men for freedom is to make then
free.-New York Journal.

Now that Cervera's fleet has been de-
stroyed there has been an immediate
revival OF the coastwise trade, and the
railroads will be materially affected to
their detriment. We are told that four
teen schooners were chartered on Wed
nesday to load coal in Philadelphia for
ports on the Atlantic coast. The total
amount they will carry will be more
than 10000 tons. The British steamer
Beechley is to take about 5000 tons OF
coal to Mexico. From this time on the
coastwise trade, especially to Southern
ports, will become brisker Captains
have been fearful about taking their
vessels to the southwark. lest they be
captured by the Spaniards. A number
OF American vessels trading to West
Indian and South American ports have
in the last month or so been placed un-
der the British flag, so as to avoit
capture, but that danger, II It ever ex
listed, is a thing Of the past, and th'
Atlantic is safe for any craft which
is not Spanish or engaged in carrying
contraband OF war.

Lieutenant Clarke Churchman has
been killed in battle. There seems TO
be no longer any doubt OF this sad
circumstance. While the War Depart
ment has not received official advices
OF his death, Il must be borne in mind
that the facilities OF the great newspa-
pers for the prompt transmission OF
news from the front are far superior
to those OF the government, and that
they are exercising particular care IN
the matter Of sending home news con-
cerping the killed and wounded. Lieu
tenant Churchman was young man
OF great promise He had just gradu-
ated from West Point and entered
upon his military career with high
hopes OF being able to distinguish
himself and secure promotion. But ht
has rendered to his county the highest
service that he could, giving his life
for the cause which he so ardently
espoused. His action in the field wa!
brave in every respect, and the loving
remembrance OF his grief-stricken par
ents will have no tincture OF regre
other than that he should make tht
supreme sacrifice in noble calling an1
on the field OF battle.

Military Courage.

The question Of the comparative pro-
portion Of really brave men in any army
will probably never. be determined.
Great officers on the continent keep
their knowledge on that subject rigor-
ously as professional secret and as
sumo as certainty that all soldiers are
brave. They know very WE'LL however,
that they are not, and when confiden-
tial will admit, as Marshal Won Moltke
once did in public, that with a great
number it takes discipline, and severe
discipline, too, to induce them to face
shells unshrinkingly. American officers
have been known to acknowledge that
Of their men, who are as brave as any
in the world, 30 per cent would run
away if they could, and in every army,
even ours, which man enters only Of
free will, there is certain proportion
who literally cannot overcome their
fears. They are stricken with sort OF
paralysis. The proportion is probably
not high in any army, the majority, il
in health, being able to do their duty
and having intense motives to do it, but
neither is the proportion high Of those
who literally feel no fear. London

the house. He set up q blower in the
back parlor, belted it to an engine in
the cellar below, and when erything
was all ready he started the fan and
produced a current Of air that was
ample to float kite.
''It was great fun for young Rufus to
sit in the back parlor and fly his kite
in the front, and for time verything
went all right, but on an unfortunate
day Rufy, not satisfied with the amount
Of wind the fan was blowing, undertook
to make it blow harder, which is some
thing that Mr.. Zingtock had expressly
forbidden. It seems that the blower and
the boiler and machinery were all much
larger than were needed to produce a
breeze sufficient to float kite here, but
Mr.. Zingtock, who, though rich, was
also thrifty, had had chance to buy
this plant second hand cheaper than a
new plant Of smaller size would have
cost, and so he took it and had it set
up, and every morning he used to adjust
| it so that it would not go above GER
tain speed, and several times he had
cautioned his son never to touch it.
"About one minute after Rufus did
touch it on this morning when he want

of the windows and broke that the first

whole parlor was a wreck, with the big
