HOLIDAY TO HONOR THE SOLDIERS

ID EFORE Dewey met and annihilated the fleet of r the Spanish great danger threatened California D Had the tide of battle turned the other way no earthly power could have kept the ships of the foemen from our coast.
 It is fitting that there should be an acknowledgment of the feeling of gratitude which thrills the people But when this peril threatened and there was call for volunteers, who made the response? Brave and gallant boys from every State In the far East the vol naturally toward Cuba, where also there was need But in Colorado Kansas Nebraska, in the wilds of Wyoming, among the valleys ot Utah everywhere this side of the Missouri-nen sprang to answer the call to They had fear for their own, they lived where the of no foreign foe could reach but they were ready. The honor of the flag had been assaled The shadow of the flag IS over all
 Thousands of these soldiers here. Let them know that the sacrifice they made is appreciated that the patriotism inspiring them IS common heritage Extend to them all courteses. They have severed family ties thrown their prospects to the winds, to rattle for their country for country. The least that California do will be to make legal holiday when they shall sail away Then the schools should be closed business suspended and the populace be out with flags, with music and with cheers to give the boys a godspeed. Then the national colors should wave from every building be by every citizen the hours devoted to the soldiers. Many hour and day and dreary month will they devote to us Some will never more see the land of their birth Let them know that they go from 1t with the love of all they leave behind There is long voyage in prospect, in the far-away Philippines hostile reception. San Francisco's farewell must be time of music and flowers and cheers. There is doubt that the Gov ernor will declare legal holiday. Nothing less would be commensurate with the stately solemnity of an occasion when for the first time in the history of the nation its defenders will go to foreign shore, there to maintain the flag at the cost of life

TALK IS CHEAP.

THE Senators who are pressing financial fads as
 amendments to the revenue bill all take
 pains to profess support of the administration III carrying on the war, while by their acts they are loading the President with every possible embarrass- ment.
 An immense and costly expedition must go to the Philippines Vast camps of civilians must be drilled and hardened into soldiers. Cuba must be in vaded soon or late, by army of probably 100000 men, Arms ammunition and comnissary for these great masses of must be provided. All the cx- penses of the Government increased by the war, and yet up to this hour Congress has made fnan- cia provision for all this expense since its first vote of $5o,ooo ooo which mostly exhausted in getting navy together.
 The administration is at this moment practically carving on foreign war on credit Its income is less than million day, and its outgo alone is three millions day. As is always the case in war; the usual revenues will decline. Imports less, and consumption falls of. The people, faced by higher taxes forced into economies Special taxes must be provided, located where economy cannot evade the and in the nature of things, these are made ouate The administration must have money, and III its stress Senators profess the intention to support and hold up the revenue bill make speeches to the country about free coinage and greenbacks! They might as well be discussing why dogs nose IS cold Pretending to support the administration, they op- pose measure which they know has the administra- tions support, and they go further, not scrupng to ascrbe vile motives to the framers of the bill.
 Rejecting bond loan at per cent which would be taken at a premium twenty years maturity, they substitute for it year stock at per cent which will not command equal premium to the other because of its short maturity. Every one that thinks sees that this is whipping the devil round stump When the 3-I loan natures in year the I treasury will have money to meet 1t, and 1t may run indefinitely, finally be funded in long bond. But these Senators who striving to make home politics while the President is making foreign war desire to make capital out of what prejudice can be created against bondholders Yet their greenback scheme will cost the people than bonds, and their 3-I plan will cost much the 3-2o bond
 While they palter and mark time the President, without war chest is using credit to send the great est force that left shores to the support ot Dewey 7ooo miles away, and is preparing the invasion and delivery of Cuba.
 When these things done 1t Is highly probable that the war will have only commenced, and they may be done before the fiat Senators get done trying to couture something out of nothing \

AN AUXILIARY NAVAL FORGE.

IN adopting on Friday the House joint resolution | providing for the organization and enrolment o an auxiliary naval force the Senate subjected 1t to an amendment providing that the enlistment for the force shall not exceed 5000 men, As Rear Admiral Erben. who has general charge of the patrol, recently estimated that 1t would require at least 5000 men to properly attend to the work, it appears that in adopting the amendment the Senators were ami mated by the old desire for parsimony rather than by earnest will to provide our long reach oi seaDoaro with suitable guard.
 The object of the auxiliary force is to provide the coast with what naval tacticans call "a second line of defense The battle-ships and cruisers form the outer lnc which may be thousands of miles from the coast as in the where Dewey protected the Pacific seaboard from assaults from Spanish ships by destroying those ships in the far of harbor of Manila The land batteries and forts form the inner line Be- tween these is the intermediate second line which is maintained by offshore patrol whose duty is to operate in conjunction with the coast defenses, keep the forts and batteries warned of the approach of hos tile ships and pursue and capture any adventurous cruisers of the enemy that might be found scouting off the shore.
 This work is being done by few of our 1qhter cruisers in conjunction with such vessels as the Harvard the Yale and the St Louis. The field of operations however is so wide that further force
 
 aims to establish corps of men who be drawn upon for the work whenever necessary. The naval auxiliary would probably be made up from the present naval militia of the various seacoas States just the Volunteer Army has been made up of the National Guard Such an organization would render the naval
 militia more effective and according to naval experts the men who compose the militia would be val uable for the inner line service than they likely to be for manning the heavy sea-going ships.
 The importance of the patrol is made evident by the needs of the coast in the present with Spain and it easy to how imperative such needs would be in war with naval power of the first class. It is therefore to be regretted that the Senate has fit to limit the force small number of men. The perfection of modern machinery applied to shipping enables to construct vessels so fleet that small number can patrol considerable extent of ocean and yet it is doubtful if 5000 could effect ually keep watch over the whole coast line of this country on the Atlantic, the Gulf and the Pacific if the enemy had ships fleet own and were enterprisng and bold in operating them

 If the soldiers in after time telling of their expe- rience here, were to say, "Why, the street lines would not take nickel from us,' it would but show the world the sentiment existing here We want the boys to enjoy themselves have the freedom of the city, and ready to believe that the companies need more than this hint to be induced to practically indorse this suggestion Our new sol diers are not rich Their Uncle Sam has not ured them into service by the promise of gain. Men and women work gladly to add to their comfort Will not local corporations add their mite?

Washington, h. c., Aug. lit
is now definitely known that tho
Seventh army corps, commanded by

tho First South Caroline regiment is
part, will go to Cuba and form tho

Gen. leo is authority for this state,

and ~ a settled fact, that his corps
will occupy Cuba. As he had just
come from conference with tho war

authority for his declaration.
1t is not likely that the men will
be moved, unless somo unforeseen
emergency arises, before tho fall,
and they will not be taken to Havana
until it is certain that they can go
without serious danger to thoir
health.
Meanwhile it is likely that as
