LEvEL-HEADED BRITONs.

It is gratifying to discover that such
savants as Prof. Goodwin Smith are
disposed to justify the United States in
its move against Spain. Pro. Smiths
words are that the Intervention is JUS
titled in the interest of humanity" He
believes that the withdrawal of Spain
from Cuba will be another step in the
inevitable emancipation of this west
ern hemisphere from European domin-
ion or control. Another gratifying OBJ
servation is in the attitude of Mr.. Bal
four, who is the acting head of the
Salisbury government and who, when
asked if he would not advise the con-
voking of conference of neutral pow
ers to deal with the present situation
on this side of the Atlantic, instantly
replied in the negative. He didn't be-
leve that our affairs over here were
any business of the neutral powers.
And Goodwin Smith further says that
the Spaniards lack the natural me-
chanical skill to use their modern fight
ing machines effectively. The war upon
which we are entering is to be distinct
lively a naval war, and mechanical skill
will play a supreme part in it. If
most Of the fighting were to be done
on the land the Spanish could use the
inherited from centuries Of
unjust war. Even if the sea fighting
were to be done with warships of the
old style, their fleet would possibly be
a match for ours at the start, but with
the complicated fighting machines of
this latter day mechanical skill will
count for as much as nautical skill or
individual bravery. Americans are
conceded the world over to be the fore
most nation of the world in mechanical,
skill. On the other hand it is almost
certain that the Spaniards will fail, in
the supreme test Of a naval battle, to
keep prope rcontrol Of the great fight
ing machines which they have had con-
for them by other European
nations.

SPAIN A REPURLIC

One, if not the principal reason, for
Europe's opposition 10 a war between
the United States and Spain. is the fear
that another monarchy may be resolved
Into republic. A prolonged war is la
BILE to leave Spain in the hands OF the
people instead of those of the contend
Ing hereditary aristocrats. If the gen
eral intelligence Of Spain was up to
that Of even the state of Arkansas a
republic would follow the defeat OF the
sagasta government. Unfortunately
only thirty-one per cent of the people
Of Spain can read and write. Sixty per
cent Of the most ignorant common
wealth in the American union can sign
their names. There is an irresponsible
conflict between the present ruling
house Of Spain and the Carlists.
A dispatch from Madrid says that
10000 Spanish Republicans have signed
In address TO Senior Don Emilio Cas-
selar. ostensibly congratulating him on
his recovery from illness, but in reality
offering him their support IL he raises
the flag Of the republic. Senior Caste
lar, the dispatch says. Will not reply
directly TO this flattering overture. but
Will take the opportunity to raise I'd in
the cortes and avow his fidelity to the
Spanish government during the war
with the United States. He will also
still according to the dispatch, give ex-
preston to his keen disappointment
that the government OF the United
States, which he once condescended 10
patronize, has "retroceded into the bar
barism OF war" AS the dispatch was
evidently inspired by CASTELAR,. it may
be regarded as a pretty accurate fore
cast Of the speech he intends 10 de-

ONE WAY TO STOP IT.

If after Spain is whipped out of Cuba
she shows a disposition to keep up
harrassing guerilla war on the sea
there viii be the other powers to rec
kon with. Should the powers consider
the successful bombardment of Hava-
ma sufficiently decisive. intervention
may be looked for on the grounds that
the United States declared its only pur-
pose to be to turn Cuba over to its
own people. The forcible seizure of
Havana means Cuba, means the rout-
ing Of Blanco and his forces. With
that accomplished the war should
cease. Therefore the question of inter-
vention by continental powers is a mat
ter for consideration, as it may develop
at any time. Twice Of late has the con-
cert of powers acted to stop hostiIities.
They interviewed between Japan and
China; they interviewed between Greece
and Turkey. In both instances hostiIi-
ties were allowed to proceed to that
point where it became apparent that
one side had secured a material ad
vantage. So in the present case con-
Intervention is to be anticipat-
ed after the decisive crisis of the war
This is not through friendliness or un-
friendliness of one nation to the other.
but is due to the necessities of protect
ing the interests which nations have in
each other. Germany and France, for
instance, have vast interests in the
Spanish and Cuban bonds, held by their
England has great commercial
interests with the Unitd States and
Spain. All of the continental powers
have an interest in maintaining the
reigning dynasty in Spain, which might |
be endangered if left to absolute de-
feat.

STAY AT HOME.

One OF the gratifying compensations
OF the present difficulty between Spain
and the United States will lie in the
fact that the chronic globe trotters and
European wanderers viii have to stay
at home. or at least on this side OF the
Atlantic, and spend their money. The
$4,000, 600 or SlOO. 900. COO generally drop

HOW ABOUT PR1CEs7

The great wheat deal is practically
closed. Mr.. Letter is presumably rich
er by millions; but others are poorer.
The producer may not have lost any
thing by the deal, even in the long run.
Many were, indeed, individually bene-
fitted. The question now is, will food
prices generally advance? Not neces-
sarily, at least not Immediately. If
the war should last a long time bread
stuffs and meats will advance and
war prices will be marked up on
many of the necessaries Of life. The
advance which has taken place already
on some of the lines of provisions is
purely speculative. 1t will take a call
for far greater number of men to
advance prices. The enlistment and
provisioning of 125,0oO men cannot ma
terially affect consumption or produc-
ton. A half million men would, and in
a marked way and in short time. 1t
is said that there has been a rush all
over the country by people laying in a
supply Of -four, tea, coffee. sugar and
the like, and grocerymen have thus
profted. But there can be no imme-
date or appreciable advance in the
price oft these staples. Before war
prices are marked many producers will
have to become consumers and cur
rency will have to fall below the gold
standard. OF course these propositions
are based on a war confined strictly to
the United States and Spain. The west
will feel the war in shortage of mon
ey for investment, especially In new
enterprises. War ties up investment
money and calls a halt on new enter
prizes. AS for everyday, ordinary To-
cal trade, it will go on uninterrupted
and not greatly influenced by the fact
of such war as we have on hand.

OLD TIME GENERALS.

Grant, Logan and Mcclellan all de-
sire to figure in the present war, and
all as generals. We very much ques-
ton the wisdom of commissioning
either. George B. Mcclellan seems to
be the most competent and brightest of
these sons of nlustrious sires. Fred
Grant is in Washington as an applicant
for a commission as major general of
volunteers. He bases his claim upon
the fame OF his father and inherited
military genius. He thinks that he has
sufficient experience and military abih-
ty to command an army corps. Moth
ing that Fred Grant has done in life
indicates that he could more than
make fair militiaman- John a. Lo-
gan wants TO be a brigadier general

NO END OF STRENGTH.

This war is not going to wake up this
nation to it's best. There is not enough
/ of it to call the American people out.
If the war should involve other nations
or there should occur an European
coalition against US, then and speedily
would the world understand that the
/ United States is the greatest as it is
! the most self-confident and resource
/ full power on earth. We can raise food
enough to feed an army of 1000 900
men and all the people of the country
beside; can manufacture clothing
enough for all, and when a country has
all the food and clothing it wants the
| necessities are covered. In addition to
being self-sustaining we have 5000, 900
of militia in the sense of the constitu-
ton. No war with Spain can draw out
our strength. America, in fact, does
not appreciate her own power or great
ness, probably not so vividly as do some
OF the statesmen of Europe. That this
war is not considered perilous or
doubtful in it's issue, by our own peo-
pie. or by the world, is seen in the fig
ures and quotations of the financial
markets. They have been but little Of
fected. The average value of securi-
ties are as high as they were a year
ago. Banks may curtail loans, but
there is no present indication Of such a
policy. The condition of the country is
as healthy as it was three months or a
year ago. But before this trouble is
over the strength and resources of this
country may be called forth. Should
they be the world will wonder. Only in
the event of the nations of Europe get
ting ugly, or in the attempt Of some of
them TO stand by Spain, will the real
power and invincible greatness of the
government founded by Washington
and preserved by Lincoln be exhibited.
