From the Birmingham News Oem.)

'"The United States are supreme on
law."-Grover Cleveland in his ultimatum
to Great Britain on the Venezuelan ques-
ton in 1895,
The statement quoted above is forcibly
recalled by the crisis which is threatened
in our relations with Spain. 1t defines
Americanism and Mouroeism. No stron-
ger expression on the subject could be
put into words.
There is no reason for the United States
to seek territory abroad, but it stands SUI
preme in the Western Hemisphere and
Spain should not forget that fact in deal
ing with the Cuban and Maine questions

The Lowest Note of All.
From the New York Evening Post (Ind

The Chicago Times-Herald. to our
amazement, has struck the lowest note
that has been sounded by any newspa-
per touching the question of a war with
Spain. This is the open declaration that
a war may be necessary to carry the
elections next fall for the Republican par
~. The enemies of social order it says
are banded together under the cry of free
,Cuba-free silver. Between war and free
silver" 1t adds, the Times Herald is for
war" This sentiment and it's utterance
by an ordinarily sane newspaper open
vista of horrors without end for If war
is discovered to be a means to keep
political party in power, and If a resort
to it is justified by its aptitude for the
purpose, shall we ever be without war?
Probably not until the nation learns what
misery war entails. Free silver" for
sooth There is more than one way of
landing the country on a silver basis. One
is to go to war and add enormously to the
public expenses. opening the door to new
issues OF greenbacks or what not An
other way is TO paralyze the opponents OF
free silver by shocking their moral sense
in the manner proposed.

Free Silver would be a popular platform.
The free Cuba part of it would capture
thousands of votes in every state, which
free silver could not get. 1t is not improb-
able that some of the Democratic leaders
have discussed the advisability of adopt
ing the foregoing platform, but it is far
from certain that the great bulk Of the
party would approve of a platform of that
kind, because they do not want war and
don't want The Republican party to have
an excuse for pushing the country into a
war
That the President and his advisers have
considered the question of the eff
feet the governments position in
the Cuban matter is likely to
have on the fall elections there
isn't much room for doubt, but there is
room for a great deal of doubt that the
President would plunge the country into
war simply that his party might gain
victory at the polls. To assume he would
do such thing is to do him great in
justice. That there are politicians who
want war, and who will leave nothing I'M
done to bring it about is quite certain,
but there are too few of them to control
the situation. We may have war, bat if
we do it viii not be because the President
regards war as necessary to enable the
Republicans to carry the fall elections.

Gen. Wilson of the engineer corps saws
ne nnds the people of the South ready to
fight for their country. To be sure they
are. The people of the South have never
been otherwise, at any time. They have
been in the thick Of the fray in every war
the country has ever had. They have been
among the first to begin and the last to
quit lighting. They have fought unfinch.
ingly under circumstances which would
have appalled, more warlike people. They
are ever ready to respond to duty.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Secretary of state.
From the New York Times Dem.).

The fiction that Mr.. Sherman. with his
fading mental powers and loosening grasp,
is an adviser of the President and the
head of a great executive department
ought not to be kept UP any longer. He
is nothing in the administration, name,
a shadow that wears a title. There should
be a living mind in the Office, a man to
sit at the right hand of the President at
the cabinet table and help him with his
great burdens and high duties.

If Mr.. Watson adheres to his determi-
nation not to run for Office again. he may
md it advisable to come out into the open
long enough TO disband the Populist par
ty. That party seems to contain no other
man big enough or strong enough to run
for the governorship, hence 1t looks to
Watson. If he does not care for the fun
of another raee-there would be nothing
eise IN 1.-THE would save his followers time
and expense by telling them to quit kick
ans and get back into the Democratic lines.

The American Position.
From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer Dem.).

The dreadful preparation is likely to
be the means of attaining the end sought
without resort to war. 1t cannot fail to
convince Spain of the amazing earnestness
of the American people and persuade it
to listen to the voice of reason. The Uni
ted States is not disposed to be domineer-
ing in its prodigious strength. 1t is dis
posed to be conciliatory and magnani-
nous But it is determined that the war
must stop soon, and that Cuban freedom
must come from it,

The Fever In MISSISSIPPI.

We are not surprised that the govern
ment of1cials are alarmed at the appear
ance OF yellow fever on the Gulf coast in
Mississippi The officials Of the Marine
Hospital Service have been watching for
II In the sections or country In which il
prevailed last year, though they hoped
they would see no Signs of 1t. The sur
geon general OF that service was quoted
a day or two ago, as having said that
there was q pretty fair chance, owing to
The steps which had been taken during
the winter to destroying the germs of the
disease, that there would be no yellow few
er in the country this year. What he said
had a reassurlng and quieting effect.
The appearance of the fever at McHen-
~. Miss, leaves no room to doubt that
the germs of the disease have survived
through the winter and are beginning to
make their presence known.
The appearance Of the disease so early
In the season is rather alarming. If the
first cases are of malignant type the
probability is that there win be a much
more severe epidemic of the disease than
that Of last year. Last years epidemic
did not amount to much, although It did
a vast amount of damage TO business
The breaking out of the fever naturally
caused a great deal of uneasiness at the
war department. The question was at
once presented whether the troops at Gulf
ports should not be moved Immediately 10
the interior. The fever was at New Or
leans and Mobile last year, and while It
is 10 be hoped that il viii not appear in
those cities this year the war department
should not hesitate TO order
troops out of all territory in which the
fever appeared last year. The question
whether troops should be moved away
from Gulf ports which are not In last
years fever territory is a question for the
yellow fever experts to answer and in
answering it they should lean to the side
of caution. II would be folly to take a
serious risk unless absolutely necessary
10 do so.

Currency Innnfion.

It is probable that the volume Of the
currency VIII be considerably increased
In the near future. The war revenue bin
provides for issuing $500 10000 of 3 per
cent. bonds at par. 1t is said that the
national banks will be liberal subscribers
for these bonds. They will use them as
a basis for circulation. They can 90 so
very advantsgeously.
But the banks would not care to increase
the volume of their notes unless they saw
signs of very considerable increase in
business. The fact therefore that they
are applying for an increase in their CIR
culation Is good evidence that they ex-
pect very great Improvement In business
next fall
The Populists who want the country
flooded with greenbacks, are against the
national banks because they do not take
out all the circulating notes to which they
are entitled. But why should they go to
the expense of taking out a larger amount
of notes than they can use with profit?
The purpose of the banks is to make
money, not to increase the volume of tire
currency simply because a political party
thinks it would be beneficial to the coun-
try to have it increased. The high price
of government bonds makes circulating
notes Improbable, except when the de-
mand for money as strong. The 3 per
cent bonds at par will enable banks 10
increase their circulation at less cost than
they can now. and that fact, together with
the prospect of a better demand for money
IN the fall, will lead the national banks
to largely increase their circulation The
volume of the money in circulation VIII
be much larger next fall, in all probability,
than al is now.

An old army officer who has been ship
mate of Acting Rear Admiral Sampson
many years tells this story of him;
Il have never doubted SIMPSONS cour-
age since the first cruise 1 made with him.
We were wardroom officers together. The
first night aboard ship, when the hour ar
rived for piping down and turning in
there were several officers sitting around
the wardroom table indulging in some in
nocent merriment. I was taught TO say
my prayers before going to bed at night
but | confess / lacked the courage to kneel
down in the presence of my shipnates and
pray. 1t was warm weather and our state
room doors opened into the wardroom.
Then it was that Sampson displayed
the moral courage that forever afterward
impressed me- He is God-fearing man,
and he always says his prayers before
turning in. When he was ready to turn in
he knelt down by his berth and prayed. A
stiffness came over the WaTdroom immedi-
ately, and I concluded that if Sampson
had the courage 10 say his prayers in the
presence of his shipmates l could do like
wise, so I have never hesitated since to
pray before turning in.
"Only those who have sailed the sea in a
warship can appreciate how much moral
courage is required to kneel down in the
presence of a lot of FOSTERING shipmates
and ask Gods blessing.
Sampson never makes his religious de
votions offensive TO his shipmates but he
reserves the right to be master of his own
conscience as he is master of the situation
at Santiago to-day"

StiII at Tampa.

Our dispatches this morning show that
Gen. Skaters army is sull at Tampa. I,
was the understanding that it left that
place last Wednesday, for either Santiago
or Porto Rico.
No explanation of the delay is given. In
our dispatches Thursday it was stated that
the sailing of the transports with the
troops had been stopped by an order from
the President.
1t Is not improbable that the delay was
caused by the report that there were Span
ish warships abroad, and It was thought
advisable TO hold the transports until the
arrival at Tampa Of fleet of warships to
convoy them.
No doubt Gen. Skaters army will start
on its mission in a day or two-probably
early next week. 1t cannot be very COM
Portable for the troops cooped up in the
transports if they are on board the trans
ports If they are ashore at Port Tampa

pose that their tents are all slowed away
on the transports.

Hun,or al Grim Nynr.

Grim-visaged war has its humorous as
well as its terrible side, and Capt. Gen.
Blanco IS not the only humorist in the
present conflict, says the Baltimore Sun.
The cablegram TO Madrid from that re-
doubtable commander about the mule that
was killed at Matanzas set two continents
a laughing and thousands Of rhymers to
writing verses. And 1t is a duh day when
he does not in a dispatch TO the Spanish
government destroy several American
Inen-of-War.
But as a humorist the captain at Manila
who requested a cessation OF hostilities
while he went ashore for more ammuni-
ton, is entitled TO the cake. The Petrol
of Dewey's feet chased a gunboat up the
Paslg river, Seeing he was cornered, the
captain OF the Spanish gllnboat went to

Of truce TO make terms. The American
captain told him he must surrender or
fight. I'VE are willing to fight" replied
the Spaniard. please allow us to send

There was decidedly no humor, however,
In the misuse of the flag of truce by the
Spanieh Capt. Sasta at the Cavite arsenal
He hoisted a white flag when he was
sore pressed, and when the Americans,
believing he had surrendered, came to
take possession, they found the Spaniards
still under arms. The withdrawal of the
troops with their arms pending negotia-
tons for surrender was an instance Of
treachery and bad faith.
The coolness with which Commodore
Dewey Interrupted the battle for break
fast is decidedly humorous. The crew

with hot boilers within and a tropical sUn
without, and the intense heat would DOS

that a great battle was ever deliberately
interrupted before by the sound of the
breakfast bell.
An incident took place at the battle of
Mobile bay when a breakfast was kept
waiting for the close of hostihties. Rear
Admiral James f. Jouett of Montgomery
county, Marylands then a lieutenant COM
mander, was in command of a vessel A
lieutenant named Murphy, who had re-
signed from the United States navy had

boats in the bay. Jouett and Murphy had

naval academy. So Jouett had delight

selves to capture Nurphy's boat This
he succeeded in doing after some delay,
and Murphy came aboard with his arm
in a sling to surrender his sword in the
most formal manner. Instead OF taking
the sword Jouett reproached Murphy tor

me word about this breakfast l would

1t would seem from the recent cable dis
patches that the public mind had received
a wrong impression with regard to the
Philippine insurgents, under Aguinaldo
Many of the insurgents may be a pretty
hard lot" but ii would probably not be cor
rect to say that they are semi-savages and
under the command of a half civilized
leader. AguinaIdo appears to be a very
decent and soldierly sort of person; a man
capable of leading. and worthy to be
entrusted with leadership He is acting
in concert with Admiral Dewey and TAX
ing orders from him. No crueltes to-
wards captives are being permitted The
rules Of civilized warfare are being OBJ
served by him far better than the Span
iards have observed them in the Philip
pines. What may be developed in the
future cannot, OF course. be predicted. but
so far Aguinaldo has proved himself to
be an ally of whom Admiral Dewey and
the American people have no cause to be
ashamed.
