Grants Dream.

McClure's reproduces 1.-THE. Generals
Last Dream" painting by B. ]. Rosen-
meier-a sacrilege says the New York
Press. The dying soldier is seated in a
chair in the midst of several million bayo-
nets and swords in the hands of as many
Yankees. The bayonets look like forked
lightning. A tall woman stands behind
Grants chair, apparently GROWING him
with a wreath as he leans against a pill
low partly covered by a blanket She is
probably dressed in white and her hair
is done up in the conventional French
style. The thing is faint, weird and I'M
canny.
Only two men knew Grants dream
Bishop John P. Newman and Senator
Chaffee of Colorado-and they kept it a
dark secret. spent four hours with New
man trying to make him tell it, and finally
had to go to Chaffee at the st. Cloud lIo-
tel with Newman's card on which was
written IF you want 10 tell it 1 won t
care" When the senator! read the scribble
he burst forth: 1.-THE - old fool why in -
- - don't he tell it himself? Ut don't
amount to anything, any how, - -
IT," In brief, the dream was: Grant
started on a long journey; his feet got
sore and he took off his boots, carrying
them in his hand by the straps; arriving
after several adventures, at the bottom
of long flight of stairs, he essayed to
mount but was stopped by a soldier pre-
senting a bayonet. I'm going up to that
bright light" the general said, pointing to
what was supposed to be the pearly gates.
"Not now" said the guard You've for
gotten something" Grant thought | is
boots were meant, and pointed to them.
NO" said the other, ''your wife, You
can't go up these stairs without her" SO

dream as Chaffee told il to me-

Il am told" says the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Herald, that
the Southern states have as yet done very
little towards organizing their militia for
the service of the United States" If the
correspondent has been told any such
thing, he had better quit depending upon
other people for his information, and look
around him and secure facts for himself
This procrastination, goes on the CORE
spondent, lis causing much embarrassment
to the war department officials" The Her
AIDS man takes care not TO mention where
the procrastination is. The fact is that
all over the South there is remarkable ae-
tivity, quite as much as there is at the
North and when the time comes 10 move
the troops TO the central camps or TO
Cuba, the troops of the South will be
promptly in line.

Refore and After rnkinC.

The people of this country are pretty
well acquainted with the manifesto-wrlt-
ing powers of Weyler and Blanco hav-
ing heard from them at Havana; but Ma
Mia is 30 far away. and the cable tolls
are so high that the accomplishments of
Senior August, Governor General of the
Philippines, have, in a considerable de-
gree, been like a light hidden under a
bushel. The fact is however, that Au-
gust as a writer of manifestoes compares
with Weyler and Blanco as an arc light
to tallow dips. - a singer of vigorous
and picturesque Spanish he has few equals
and no superiors under the yellow flag,
or indeed in yellow journalism. He is
such "hot STUFF from start to finish that
he has been called "Tabasco' by some
of those who have been watching his pro-
gress.
One of Senior Tabasco's warmest effu-
sions came from his melting typwriting
machine three days before the arrival of
Commodore Dewey at Manila bay. From
the tone of the paper it may be judged
that Tabasco ate gunpowder and quench-
ed his thirst with nitro-glycerine during
its composition "The North American
people"-thus wrote Tabasco-"constitut-
ed of all the social excrescences, have ex-
hausted our patience and provoked war
by their Vaccinations their acts of
treachery, their outrages against the laws
of nations and international conventions.
Her. squadrons, manned by foreign
cipline is preparing to come to this arch
ipelago with ruffianly intent, pretending
to be inspired by courage of Which they
are incapable. Vain designs; ridicu-
lous boasting! Your indomitable BRAY
cry will suffice to Illustrate the realization
of their designs F1lipinos prepare for the
struggle; fight with the conviction that
victory will crown your efforts"
Thus wrote the Governor General, along
with a lot more of the same sort of stuff,
three days before the arrival of Dewey.
The manifesto, however, contained one
sentence which Tabasco would probably
leave out If he had another of the same
sort 1t was this;
The struggle will be short and decisive.
The gods of victories will give us one as
brilliant and complete as the righteous
ness and justice of our cause demands
In this paragraph Tabasco wrote truer
than he knew. The struggle was indeed
short and decisive; and the victory" won
by the spaniards was just about such as
was deserved by them. 1t is to be hoped
that the Governor General of the Phil
ippines will not quit writing manifestoes
lust yet. 1t would be interesting reading
10 see what he now thinks of the so
cial excrescences,' and the ridiculous
boasters," and the Ignorant and caais-
oiplined foreigners" whom he so lately af-
fected to desplse as foemen unworthy of
Spanish steel.

The fact that Senator Jones of Nevada.
q silver Republican, has decided to act
with the Democrats Of the finance com
mittee and report in favor of amending the
revenue bill by striking out the bond fea-
ture of il and inserting a provision author
ling an issue of greenbacks and the coin
age of a portion of the silver bullion in the
treasury. means that there will be long
debate in the Senate before there is any
revenue legislation.
In the House the Democrats did not
make much of an effort to amend the reve-
nue. bill in accordance with their ideas.
They felt it would be a loss of time to do
so, because the Republicans, having a big
majority, could pass the bill whenever they
determined to do; besides. they were not
certain that it would be popular to oppose
a bill TO provide revenue for carrying on
the war.
Ii is probable that they were wise in TAX
ing the view they did. A great many voters
would not take the trouble to find out why
the Democrats opposed a war measure.
The simple fact that they opposed il would
be sufficient to influence them 10 cast their
votes for the candidates of the Republican
party.
1t is a question whether it wouldn't be
better for the Democratic party to avoid
bringing the silver question forward in a
bill intended to supply the means for
carrying on the war. If they had any
chance for having their views relative to
financial matters adopted there would be
more reason for bringing forward the sill
yer question at this time, but there is no
such chance The House has the right to
originate revenue measures, and il will
never consent to change the bill in the rad
ical way in which the Senate proposes to
change 1t.
If the Democrats and silver Republicans
of the Senate simply mean to protest
against a bond issue no harm will proba-
bly, be done the Democratic party by the
effort to amend the revenue bill, but If the
amendments are insisted upon, and long
debate ensues, the country is likely to get
the impression, however wrong the i'm
preston may be, that the Democratic par
ty. after having helped to bring on the
war. is trying to make it failure. Such
an impression as that would cost the Dem
ocratic party a good many votes in the
fall elections

The Thirteenth Regiment of Brooklyn
declined to go into the service, after the
Governor of New York had been notified
that 50 per cent. of its members would
volunteer, and the regiment had been or
dered out. 1t was claimed that the regi-
ment feared it would lose its autonomy.
Now it win lose more than its autonomy,
as il has been ordered mustered out ana
a new regiment will be organized ana
given the number of the one which re-
fused to obey orders. Something seems to
DO wrong with the odd numbers in the
New York military.

The times are particular inauspicious for
those thick-and-thin advocates of free sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to l who were not
long ago asserting positively that wheat
and silver were so closely allied that the
price of one depended upon the price of
the other. and that wheat could not pos
sibly bring more per bushel than silver
was worth per ounce; that an ounce of
silver always had been worth a bushel
of wheat, and always would be. With
wheat selling at $40 in Chicago and $1.9O
in New York, with the probability that it
will so to 50. while silver is quoted at
5615 it is rather hard to make people take
stock in any such argument.

There must have been some mistake
about that report, which found currency
in the Washington dispatches two weeks
or so ago, to the effect that Mr.. Bryan
had rendered his services for the war to
the President. Not a word has been heard
with regard to the matter for several
days, and Mr. Bryan is in the West MAX

upon Gen. weyler are suggestive. Car
los thinks Weyler is typical cavalier
of SPAIN" and presumably the General
thinks equally well of him. They Will
probably work together, provided Wey-
Ter cannot place himself at the head of a
military government of Spain without the
assistance of Carlos. Events are moving
rapidly in Spain just now. Great changes
may be expected in the political history Of
that country, as well as in her geography,
before long.

derwriters at Lloyds now ask a 10 per
cent. premium for insurance against war
between France and England in the next
two months. Several months ago the rate
was per cent, but the stiff attitude of
both Powers in this West African matter
excites alarm. The French seem to be
clearly in the wrong, occupying territory
which is British by treaty, by the appli-
cation of the hinterland doctrine and
partly by occupation. They are the ag-
gressors and disregard British treaty
rights there. as in Tunis. Siam and Mad

While Savannah has sent four companies
Of volunteers to camp, and win send four
more to-day, there stil remain here hun
dreds of men who are connected with the
military organizations. all of whom are
ready and willing to respond to the call
of duty. There is no telling but that an
enemy may appear upon this coast at any
time. The military men who remain at
home should therefore place themselves in
a condition and position to meet possible
invaders. The organizations should be
maintained and put into thorough training,
in anticipation of any emergency which
may arise. The city and the state can
not be called perfectly secure until the
war shall have been concluded by a
treaty of peace.

A Nautical Country.

1.-THE United States" says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, seems to take as naturally
to water as a cat takes to cream. Six
months ago we didn't know cruiser from
a gunboat, and now we are nautical to the
top notch. We talk boats, we think boats
We have pictures of boats all over our
daily papers; boats decorate our magazines
boats cover our billboards. We fight naval
battles with gravy boats and sail cracker
boats in wastes of steamy soup. The mere
pigmes of the land. the crawling infan-
try, the hoppity-kickity cavalry, the trund-
ling artillery are for the moment set aside.
1t is the sailor lad, with his rolling gait,
the bully of the after deck, the captain in
his coming tower, who hold our hearts
affection. The gorgeous galaxy of gener-
ais may bedizen themselves as they will il
is the admiral on the bridge who catches
the admiring eye of an adoring public"

Besides the danger of fevers, there is
stll another reason why the Cuba cam
paign should be pushed to a speedy COM
pletion. 1t is but little more than three
months now until the opening of the West
India hurricane season. The furious winds
which howl around Cuba in August and
September, and sometimes later, are more
dreaded by the American navy than the
menace of every ship under the Spanish
flag. Should such a storm strike our ships
off the Cuban coast or in the Florida
straits. it would require all of the skill
OF the commanders TO keep them afioat.

duced at Manila by the breakdown of
Spanish power. Admiral Dewey's sug,
gestion that a commission be appointed,
whereof he offers 10 be a member, to es-
tablish a provisional government merits
the approval of the President. Pending
a settlement with Spain, we are bound to
protect the German, English and other
foreign residents-not excluding Spanish
civilians-against the excuses that might
be committed by a disorganized commu-
nifty of semi barbarians.

Der the Maine" That shout, from hum
dreds of men, rose above the din of the
conflict and inspired the gunners to dead
ly accuracy. 1t is said that the seamen
were eager for hand-to-hand conflicts with
the enemy, and the thought of the af-
fair of Feb. Is wrought them to a frenzy
But with all this the work on the ships
proceeded with methodical precision. The
discipline was perfect. There was no con-
fusion anywhere. Perfect sympathy be-
tween officers and men made for perfect
results.
