American Honor Vindica ate d.

This is indeed an American year.
Right after the thrilling victory at
Santiago comes another victory, not
of armor and ships and guns, but Of
plain American common sense, tri-
umphing over ignorance, prejudice and
corporate greed, and this victory, con-
summated on date to be forever
memorable, will stand out in the clear
light of history as the greatest though
bloodless victory of all.
The annexation Of Hawaii plants
American influence impregnably in the
heart of the Pacific ocean: gives us
command of this great water in peace
and in war; adds to our domain 6,677
as the sun shines on and serves notice
on the world that the American re-
public proposes hereafter to fulfill the
measure of its magnificent opportun-
tiles.
In consummating this great triumph
of craftsmanship the administration of
William Mckinley has done for pos
terity "A service of incalculab BILE value
and the enlightened patriotism of a
two-thirds majority in both branches
of congress has wiped from our ma
tional records the stain put there by
Grover Cleveland and Paramount Com
missioner Blount when they tried to
enforce their policy of infamy."

On a PrOfitIess Tack,

Today at Delaware Water Gap tho
committee on law reform of the Penn
sylvania Bar association will make
public the changes in existing statutes
and judicial processes which it will
recommend to the favorable cCnsidera-
ton OF the Pennsylvania legislature
with view to increasing the respect
ability and the efficiency of our courts
and auglneLtng the dignity of the legal
profession. We are not advised as to
what these recommendation will be,
hut if the committee has faced it's prob
lem resolutely it will have found ample
room for suggestion of improvements,
though from the nature of the case
these must look to public sentiment
rather than to merely nominal changes
in the phraseology Of the law.
Some faults and defects there are in
the mechanism of our ordinary courts
tc be sure, and these may well be point
ed out by the Pennsylvania Bar asso-
citation for remedy by the law-making
pcwer. But the great fault which lies
at the root of most of the injustice
done in our courts and gives life 10
most of the popular criticism of the
sis the indifference with which the
great body of well-to-do citizens view
the operations of the courts in direc-
tions in which they are not primarily
and personally concerned, and by this
indifference make 1t an easy task for
the jury fiXer, the professional petit
fogger, and the scoundrel in general To
gain over the courts an undue ascen-
danoy. 1t is with the jury system as
1t Is with political primaries-the
stream cannot rise higher than its
source. When educated and respon-
sible men shirk their duty in either
case or. pleading the press of personal
business, let these important civic du-
ties go by default. they must expect
what they get in the way or rank mis-
government. Tinkering the system will
not overcome the neglect. No system
can work satisfactorily when the men
who work IL are below the moral aver
age OF the community.

PROPER RECOGNITION.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The resolution which Representative
Berry, of Kentucky offered in the house
of representatives rendering the thanks
of congress and the American people to
Commodore Schley, for his heroic ana
distinguished conduct, is emnently
proper. Schley has borne himself as
true man and a brave sailor. When
Sampson. a captain, was singled out
for favor and made superior TO Schley,
a commodore, the latter made no COM
plant, but, modest and obedient as he
was intelligent and courageous, he re-
ceived his instructions and fulfilled them
to the letter. 1t was he who bottled
up Cervera in Santiago, and very fit-
tingly it was he who demolished Ger
veras fleet. When Cervera had been
driven to cover by Schleys flying squad
ron Sampson sailed to Santiago and as
sumed command, but the fortunes OF
war, which deal with promotions as well
as with hostilities, operated to afford
Schley the opportunity to display his
Valor and establish his fame.
Doubtless the victory would have been
as thorough had Sampson personally
directed the movements of the blockad-
ing squadron, or, for that matter, had
Captains Taylor, Evans, Higginson,
Chadwick, Cook, Clark or Philip, who
fought as commanders OF single ships.
been in command of the squadron. Every
engagement in the present war has de-
veloped heroism from the bridge to the
forecastle, that proves the extraordinary
grit and capability of the personnel of our
navy. But the laurels for the victory of
Santiago have been fairly won by Com
modore Schley and il is no derogation to
Admiral Sampson to say that the name
of Schley, rather than that of Sampson,
deserves to be imperishably connected
with the only battle worthy of the name
fought off Cuba during the present war
the only battle that will be fought in
these waters.

There is one man who must be a
hoodoo who was injured at Santiago
the other day. He is Private Henry
A. Holzkamp, of New York regiment.
He was reared in an orphan asylum,
broke his leg twice when a little child
later on fell and broke four ribs and
his breast bone. After joining the regi-
ment he was twice disabled by an in
jury to his ankle and on the day
Grants tomb was dedicated tumbled
down a steep embankment and was
terribly hurt. Now he is one of those
most seriously injured and it is safe to
say that should he recover there will
not be a great scramble to march at
his side in the ranks. Brave and true,
his patriotism has been fostered under
difficulties.

1t is unlikely that the criticism of
Admiral Sampson for not mentioning
Schley's name has just foundation.
Sampson was reporting hurriedly a
momentous fact, whose Importance
rose far above personalities. At the
same time it is only fair to Schley to
give him the credit for what he did.

In its opposition to the policy Of
American expansion the Philadelphia
Ledger has become almost senile.
THE more we seek to enlarge our
sphere of influence, political and COM
mercial," it plaintively remarks, "the
more danger there is of coming in con-
flict with Jealous rivals" Conversely,
the less we enlarge the less this dan
ger and by ceasing to exist the danger
can be obviated wholly. If the Ledger
is so afraid of the ability of the Ameri-
can people TO take care of themselves,
why doesn't II pack up and go to Rus
sia TO live?

HOW TO SECURE 1T.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch,

from the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The business men of the anthracite
coal regions are making an earnest effort
to relieve their district from the prostra-
ton that is inflicted by the excessive
rates ON anthra cite coal maintained by
the railroad combination of that section
one OF the projects set on foot is the
building of "a railroad from the Lacka-
wanna district to New York to carry coal
at reasonable rates. An objection has
been raised TO this, that the new road
when built will eventually be absorbed
into the combination, which some of its
supporters are inclined to resent as an
lmputation on the sincerity of those get.
ting up the project.
The objection is not a fanciful one. as
the history of similar projects shows, nor
does II impute irsincerity to the present
promoters of the enterprise. These men
must die and the settlement of their es-
states will put their stock on the market.
or they may need to sell their stock in
the future for business reasons. But the
financial power which is interested in the
combination is everlasting and always
ready to adopt the means of buying or
bankrupting the competing interest.
Yet there is one means of preventing

business, will pay per cent. on the bona

fundamental in the oTge nization of the

purposes of combination will be futile.
In that case any coal mining firm OF

This right was regarded as a necessary
one when railroads were first organized.

for that reason the majority of railroad
abuses and determinations have become
possible.

vigilance the work OF the courts would
be so greatly improved as to excite
general astonishment. There are laws
ample for the Furnishing Of embracery,

would quickly cleanse the jury room OF
