STEAMERS ARE GIVEN BACK
Army and Navy Officers Think the
War Is Practically Ended.

New York, Aug. IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Army and navy officers consider the
war practically ended 50 far as actual
hostiities are concerned and that there
will be no occasion hereafter to fire
hostile shot except in the slight resist
ance that may be offered by the Span
iards to the progress of American forces
in General Miles brilliant Puerto Rico
campaign.
The first step has already been taken
by the orders issued yesterday returning
the st. Paul and the St. Louis TO Ne"
York as soon as they could leave tne
West Indies. Their guns will be taken
off at once, their naval officers detacheu'
including Captain Sigsbee and Captain
Goodrich, and as speedily as the VeSSei'
can be restored to the condition they were
in when the navy acquired them, tne'
will be delivered to their former oWne''

The Harvard and Yale will be given

tiles here no end of worry and no Gtto
alarm. The conditions which confront
the comparatively small forces under
General Merritt's command between Ca.
yite and Manila are shown by official re.
ports to be even more dangerous than
intimated in press dispatches and the adj.
ministration is gratitied to see that most
OF the influential newspapers of the coun-
try have come to appreciate some of the
responsibilities which will be imposed
upon the government if the United State,
found it necessary to take permanent pos.
session of the archipelago
This contingency was thoroughly con-
sdcred by the military and naval author
tiles as early as the middle of May, when
General Merritt was selected to take an
army corps across the Pacific This was
before Aguinaldo assumed an impudent
air and at ii time when he was giving
every assurance of subordination to Adj
milal Dewey.
The proposition is subjected to modifca
ton by the audacity of Aguinaldo and
little short of his death or capture is apt
to clear up the complications. 1t is fear
ed the crisis at Manila is already at hand
and that August must at any moment be
compelled to surrender the city to Gen
eral Merritt whether the latter is ready
to receive it or not
Under such circumstances, it is certain
that General Merritt would be compelled
promptly to accept the serious RESPONSE
biIlties OF protecting property in the city
from the insurgents at whatever hazards
and the homogeneous spectacle may yet be
presented of American and Spanish
troops there cooperating against COM
mon enemy, supported by the combined
forces from the foreign fleets which have
gathered in the harbor.

Stealing Swallows Thunder.

\ bitter jealousy of jerks has arisen
among the supporters of DR.. Swallow.
The latter recognize that jerks is
crOwding their man back to the third
position in the race and they are be-
ginning to lose their temper, The ap-
pended quotation is from Dr. Swallows
personal organ, the Harrisburg Com
monWealth;
If there were nothing else to prove th"
fact that the jerks management Is taTred
with the SANE black stick of the Quay
machine, these last contemplate tactics
and downright lies to.which it resorts in
its last desperation Cnamely, the assertion
that Wanamaker had come out for jerks
and that Swallow might withdraw would
prove 1t. II the jerks candidacy
commanded any respect before, II has
forfeited II by the abominable lying ana
sEeak-thief methods to which II resorts
to reap the fruits of Honest Government
labors. Twice have they had the chance
to reform the inquities of state adminls-
lration within recent years. Have they
done it? Every Democrat in the state
with sense enough TO know why he is a
Democrat. knows that in every scheme of
plunder the roosters OF the Democratic
machine have stood by Quay, and in ev-
cry tight place have come to his relief.
Now they steal the livery of Honest gov
ernment In which TO serve their same old
master.
We can cheerfully subscribe to all
that our contemporary says regarding
the spuriousness OF the Democratic re-
form plea. IT is a plea which is never
recalled after election, Those who
make il smile at their own nerve. AT
the same time, does not our friend, the
editor of the Commonwealth see that

Is quite generally conceded that legtsld"

necessity which they are under oi SPEND
ing II large portion of the time In be-
coming acquainted with their colleagues

is of the opinion that Senator Vaughan
is the right man in the right place and
that he ought to be kept there We also
believe that the voters Of the Twentieth

will manifest their appreciation of mis-
intelligent and faithful services by max

THE RIGHT PRINCIPLES.
Hyde Park Courier-Progrcss

Hyde Park Courier-ProCrcss.
Congressman Conncll'S record IN the
last congress was a most Commcndable
one. No one was more attentive to his
duties. more faithful i'm his attendance
and worked harder and more successfully :
for the interests of his constituents. This
is shown i'm hi- great success in getting
pension claims settled. Nearly one hum
dred such claims of IaCkawannH's old
soldiers were recognized and adjust u
through Mr.. Connclls influence. Bcsid IS,
and of the greatest importance it is. Mr..
Connell is in complete harmony with
President Mckinley's views on national
and international questions. He was one
of his most steadfast supporters in The
last congress. LaCkawanna needs and
should have in Washington man who
represents the principles Of the Repub-
lican party. the party whose principles
are so closely allied to the growth and
development of the industrial features of
our country and of Pennsylvania, and
Lackawanna in particular.

The Coming OF Colonel Stone.

All Republicans. hut more especially
those who have felt inclined to leave
their party this year and vote for DR..
Swallow, are invited to tonights meet
ing at the Lyccum theater, to see, hear
and study the Republican nominee for
governor. Colonel William A. Stone.
lnasmuch as the gubernatorial contest
this year is turning largely upon the
personal character, fitness and expert
ence of the nominees ii is no more than
fair that those Republicans who have
been alienated from Colonel Stone by
false report should give him the oppor-
tunity to speak for himself in their
presence.
We can promise To those who shall
accept this invitation that they will
see man who bears the stamp of
manlinCss in every look and gesture
and hear, If not brilliant oratory, at
least good, well spoken common sense.

or dramatic as are some of his oppo-
nents who have visited or will soon
visit the people of this community: he

stone meeting, for the Republican can
didate for governor is not in the abus-
ing business.

an intelligent. manly discussion of the
issues of the campaign from the Re-
publican standpoint and think that
such discussion best BELTS the stand

state like Pennsylvania should not

acquaintance of one of the recognized
leaders of American Repuhlcanism-
man who whether on the battlefield

or as a representative of an intelligent
constituency in congress has done
nothing dishOnorable but instead has
won the sturdy respect and confidence
of those about him and of the public
