tiles before the Spanish fleet steamed

ships is one of supreme interest. 1t
goes to the roots of naval construction.
But the complete and final substitution
Of coal for wind, and the use Of long
range and rapid firing guns, they say,
creates new conditions which enable
an admiral TO put himself where he
likes" It may not be the guns which
are of chief Importance in settling
naval fights, but the engines and the
coal. The public are deeply interested
in the possible fight. The naval men

THE ARGONAUT'S "FLOPs. >

This San Francisco journal has been
for some time squirting, so far as it
was able to, handfuls of sand into
the bearings of the wheels Of American
Progress in the Pacific. So far as
these Islands were concerned, its OppO-
sition to annexation was purely per-
sonal, and was regulated, we suspect,
by tips" 1t utterly ignored the value
of San Francisco's trade with Hawaii,
and was perfectly willing that the
ships of her merchants should rot at
the docks rather than the city should
be prosperous under Hawaiian trade.
Such journals flop at the first sug-
gestiOn. Admiral Dewey holds Manila
at his mercy, and now the Argonaut
cries from the hill tops about the
silence of San Francisco in refus-
ing to move when the annexation of
the Philippines would mean many mil
lion in trade annually" THAT city"
it says, lis now silent over the pos
sible annexation of fourteen hundred
islands and seven millions Of people"
''Why does not San Francisco speak?
Why do not her people sustain the
Government in it's half expressed in
tention to hold the Philippines"
The journal can find abundant argu-
ment for resisting the annexation of
Hawaii, about two thousand miles
away, but it finds no objection to the
annexation of the Philippines that
are six thousand miles away, with
mongrel, ignorant, population amount
ing to one-tenth of the population Of
the States
THAT babOOn of yours has a pretty
long arm, hasn't he?" said the pas
senger to the ship captain. yes, when
/ try to make him work he hasn't
any hands. But you put banana in
the fore-top and he'll pull it in with
his arm. 1t just depends"
The Argonaut took it's weakly bath
of dust and ashes over the wreck of
American institutions in the event of
the annexation of Hawaii, because it
was away from the continent, and had
a mixed population. Suddenly it
springs us at the golden gate city,
and puts the lash to its limbs, be-
cause it does not insist on the annex
alton of the Philippines, although
there are more naked savages in them
than there are of inhabitants in these
Islands.
We have often said in these columns,
that the annexation of these Islands
to the United States depended upon
not upon the. character of the people.
This unreserved anxiety of the Argo-
naut to take the Philippines, for trade
purposes, without the least regard to
the character of their population
proves what we have always said.

A NOBLE SENTIMENT.

Senator Hoar of Mass, in the perora-
ton of a great speech on the Cuban
case, said:
q want to enter upon this war with
the sanction of international law, with
the sympathy of all humane and liber-
ty loving nations, with the approval
of our consciences, and with the GER
tainty OF the applauding judgment of
history I confess l do not like to
think of the genius of American an
CRY, snarling, shouting, screaming,
clawing with her nails. I like to
think of her honest and sincere beau

wards her enemies-not of hate, but
Of love; perhaps a little pale about

bic, as was the Archangel Michael
when he struck down and trampled
upon the demon of darkness"

GERMAN NEUTRALITY.

There is much inquiry made in the
American press as to the reasons why
Germany has not declared her neutral
ity. 1t is said by q portion of the
German press that the Government
desires to be free to act This
means nothing.
One of the most intelligent of the
correspondents residing in Berlin says:
1.-The real reason lies in a peculiar
Constitutional hitch, which throws an
interesting sidelight on the relation
of the Emperor to the Reichstag. 1t
appears that when, on the outbreak of
the Turko-Russian war Emperor Will
liam l. was about to issue the usual
declaration, he was informed by his
Constitutional lawyers that he must
first secure the consent of the Reich
stag to this step. This the old gentle
man. whether from pride or a general
independence of character l cannot
say. refused to ask for, and the con-
sequence was that no declaration OF
neutrality was published, and this ira
dition has been kept up by the present
Emperor The new German Minister
of Foreign Affairs, Baron Won Buelow,
remarked a few days ago that he
himself upon taking Office was ignorant
of this rule, and took for granted that
a formal declaration would be publish
ed by him on the outbreak of the
Spanish-American war, but certain of
his routine secretaries called his atten-
ton to the true state of affairs"
This correspondent also states that
American ambassador White informed
him that Baron Won Buelow has gone
out of his way to express the deter
mination of the German Government
to observe a strict neutrality.
The hostility of the German press
to the Americans is founded on the
erroneous belief that the war against
Spain is not for the sake of humanity
but conquest. This is natural enough.
For our own American press never
has been willing to give any other
nation credit for honesty in its foreign
policy, and it persistentIy accuses the
Germans of fraud in dealing with the
question of American hog products.
