ton is offered that the army should be
increased by the proper development OF
oar national guard system. Let the
United States offer to arm all the VOL
unteers Offering in any state which UNI
dertakes to keep that force up to the
regulation standard as to membership,
discipline and drill. Let them go even
farther than this. and furnish the uni
forms for these men, for even then il
will be less expensive than taking chem
away from their daily avocatiOns, ana
keeping them housed up at puhnc eX-
pense IN barracks While no state can
be coerced into accepting such a prop
Osition from the United States, the
whole subject may safely be left to the
patriotism and the competitive spirit or
the people OF the different states. who
will take pride IN having military or
CARNATIONS ready to march at a mo-
ment's notice, fully armed, equipped
and drilled for service and which will pos
sess an elan and spirit which can never
move the soldiers of a regular standing
army 1t VIII not be long before such
a force will be in every state in the
union. Let the guard of each state,
according to its strength, be organized
into regiments, hrigades, divisions or
corps, as the case may be, keeping up
their identity, moved by the desire to
shed glory upon the state Of their birth,
as we'll as upon the flag of their union,
and we will have a regular army of
100000 men ready at a moments no
tico to march to the defense OF their
county, and filed with that enthusiasm
and patriotism which would make them
worth ten times their numbers.
In this way we can hayo an army
larger than that possessed by any coun-
try of the world. without the democrat
ization Of barracks life and without dis
turbing the equilibrium of our people,
combining & large portion Of their young
manhood within barracks walls and
giving to the country in business and
industrial life the full benefit OF their
energy, enterprise and strength.
A large standing army is ropugnant
to the genius of the people, every man
of whom is willing to do his duty to
his country when the time comes for
its performance, If only our statesmen
have the wisdom and the ability to so
organize them that they would be rem
dered effective

Americans Humanity's Champions.


SANTIAGO and Manila are not the only
victories which the Americans nae
achieved IN the present war. 1hey
have proven TO the satisfaction OF I''7
world that they can wage terrific com
hat without cutting themselves loose
from the attribute of humanity; ana II
they succeeded in doing nothing else III
the present war they would Still nave
to their credto in this respect one o.
the nc5lest victories Of modern TIMES.
While the moral proves "n-c"
Americans have thus displayed Is sone-
thing a,toeetner unique, it is strictly
in accord with the motives Wh"A
promoted them in the beginning to es-
pouse the cause Of down-trodden Cupa.
Since humanity impelled them to take
this step. it is only natural That hu-
manitv should continue to dominate
them in the struggle. Thus 1t is tn@I
Americans have won the worlds re-
snact bv the moral proves which they
have exhibited no less than by the mar
tial prestige which they have displayed
with such decisive effect.
When Admiral Dewey sent to Wash
ington several weeks ago the famous
cablegram whlrh stated that he was
who had escaped from the wreck OF Ad-
miral Montefo'3 fleet at Manila. ne
completely electrified the world by the
evidence Of humanity thus briefly su6-
gested in the cab,egran1. SubseQuenC
dayclcumen,s have shown that Admiral
Dewey las never once neglected the
prisoners in his charge in the matter o.
supplying them either with FOOD or
with medicines, and that he could not
have treated them with greater compass
sion if they had been his own fellow
co1lntrvmen. Americans ought to feel
the blood tingle in their veins Wheh
thew consider the magnanim0u8 treat
ment which Admiral Dewey has be-
slowed upon the captive SDaniards at
Manila.
But this same trait has since been Il
Illustrated in the disposition made Of
the prisoners taken at Santiago, When
Commodore Schley, In temporary COM
mand Of The American squadron at san
tt8r0, destroyed the fleet Of Admiral
Cervora, over thousand SpaniardS
were taken prisoners. only to be shown
tho most delicate attention., Admiral
Ceryora himsef being simply over
whemed with cOurtesieS. Likewise IN
the terms Of the recent surrender Of
General Iinaras to General Shattef
there is exhibited the same maGnar'-
nous spirit on the part Of the Amer
cans. Nothing could possibly be moro
cons,do~aso than the agreement OF Cen
oral Shafter to transport the defeated
troops back to Spain.
So Americans have no reason to be
ashamed Of the record which they have
made in the present war On the score

A Lesson of the War and It's Use.

the present war with Spain, the solu-
ton Of which will become matter Of
political agitation.
In a recent paper by Vice Admiral Z.
II. Colomb. of the British navy, one OF
the greatest naval authorities of the
day, he discusses one of these lessons as
far as the war has gone. lie declares
very truthfuly that before state goes
to war. she should be prepared for war.
If she is not habitually prepared for
war. then she had better temporize and
get things ready before she commits
herself TO 1t. This course will not only
be the safer but the cheaper method.
ON the ground Of this lesson the British
admiral concludes that it seems most
unlikely that the United States can
come out Of the war as she went Into
it. and he expresses a very generous
hope that the United States may not
have gone into war in haste only to
repent at leisure 1t is at this point
that Admiral C0lOmb says:
The next lesson, revealed to the world
with extreme fullncss before the war was
a fortnight old, was, that in offensive ma
val war the navy is n comparatively pow
erless force if il has not behind il, and
instantly ready, a powerful highly mobile
army We have seen. so far, only
the repetition of the old lessons in this re-
gard. The navy defends by subdUng or con-
trolling the navy of the other bclHgerent
and keeping the seas clear Of its war ships;
but when it has done that its functions,
as acting alone, come to an end. 1t can do
no more without the help Of the sister
service.
The declaration above made is one
which has been plain even to landsmen
during the last two months. Although
on the LIST of May Admiral Dewey sailed
into the port Of Manila and gained such
q victory over a strong fleet in its home
waters his ships have had to be an
chored idly upon the ruins Of his vic
tory and to this day he has been I'M
able TO reap the fruits of his triumph.
The same lesson has been taught in
Santiago, whore was anchored another
fleet SO well organized that it pounded
out of existence SPANS magnificent
fleet There the land force which IN
yaded Cuba was SO insufficient that 1t
had to halt in it's advance upon the
rear gates Of Santiago, and came dan
gerousiy near suffering an inGlorious
defeat The lesson in both of these
cases, as intlmatcd by Admiral Colomb,
is that navy has It's duty to perform,
which is 10 clear the seas Of hostile yes
sells. That being done the rest of the

yesterday completing arrangements for
the appearance of the show in Wheeling
next Monday. He talked very enter
tainingly to a Register reporter OF the
band of Cuban guerrilas with the WIld
West show-men with whom fighting
is a profession. Some OF them have
fought for thirty years, and are only
in this country because they are dis
abled The accompanying cut shows
Major De Soto and Sergeant Herman
dez the latter a one-legged Cuban vet
eran whose many scars attest the quail
ity of fighting material of which he is
made. Col De Soto is very prominent
in the insurgent army. He was one
of the little band secured by MAJOR
Burke. but returned to Cuba recently,
and has distinguished himself to such
an extent that many eastern papers are
devoting long articles to accounts OF
his exploits.
''The declaration of war was very
serious thing for the Wild West show,
said Major Burke, "and it threatened
to put us out Of business for time at
least. Half a dozen Of our men are in
Teddy Roosevelts company Of rough
riders. and several Cubans have return
ed to take a hand in the battle for free
dom. Some of them have been fight
ing for thirty years, and when not en-
gagged in warfare have been either in
exile or in Spanish prisons. They are
certainly an interesting study and as
devoted a band Of patriots as ever
lived"
With natural patriotism which is
intense. Major Burke combines per-
sonal interest in the struggle in Cuba,
born of his knowledge of the Island,
and his association with the men who
have been leaders in the struggle for
liberty which now engrosses the at
tention Of the civilized world. He de-
plores the absence of Cuban names in
the published reports of killed and
wounded. He has a very high admira-
ton for TIE fighting qualities Of the
native Cubans. He called attention to
the fact that the Cubans burned only
the sugar cane on the plantations, that
being sufficient for their purpose. The
destruction of the buildings was the
work of the Spanish to crafty desire
for revenge.
