Heroes All

The eight men who took the
Merrimac into the neck Of Santi-
ago's harbor. bravIng the mines
below and the storm Of shot and
shell from the nearby shore, sailing
their ship and sinking her across
the channel as composedly as if
they were engaged in a bit OF civil
engineering, live to receive the
plaudits OF an admiring world.
The eight are heroes. Braver
men were never born. They bade
goodbv to life when they parted
from their comrades Of the feet, for
they knew the chance of surviving
was too slight to count. 1t was
THEN business to live, il they could,
long enough to carry their ship to
a point where it could be sent to
the bottom and form a barrier past
which the imprisoned feet Of the
Spaniards could not come. About
this business they went with clear
heads and calm souls, proud of the
opportunity given them to die use
fully tor their country.
They did the business, and they
live. Whether we call their es-
cape from death an interposition
of Providence or an instance OF
that strange luck which sometimes
attends daring, it equally strikes
the mind as miraculous. The
worlds ages and the worlds wars
may be searched for feat surpass-
ing this in courage and good for
tune and it will not be found. De-
votion to duty and indifference to
life in its performance never have
risen higher, never can rise higher.
The eight of Santiago are immor-
tai.
Even the enemy cheered the in
trepid men, and the Spanish ad-
mlral honored himself by the chiv-
airy which moved him to send
under flag OF truce to the Amer
lean feet news of the safety OF the
heroes. Every American salutes
the gallant Cervera in return,
While this Republic endures
and mankind retains respect for
patriotism and courage there will
be reverence for these names-the
names OF the immortal eight OF
Santiago.
The pride Of their countrymen
in them is as boundless as it is
exultant and gloriously justified,
and the splendor OF their courage
is accompanied by magnificent
demonstration Of the average
quality OF the American navy.
The service designed for the Mer-
rimac was one of a character so
perilous that Admiral Sampson
did not ieel warranted in ordering
men to 60 upon tit being prac-
tlcally equivalent to a sentence OF
death-and called tor volunteers.
The men of the entire feet Of
fered themselves.
And the eight who were chosen
the immortal eight of Santiago
AS they went upon their errand,
believed by every man afoat to be
on their way to graves in Santi-
ago's waters, were envied by
the officers and crews who waved
them God speed.
A people who can produce a
navy like that have in themselves
the lofty spirit which animates it,
the pluck which braves everything,
the resolution that can endure
everything, the brains to plan, to
execute, to triumph. Such a peo-
pie may fearlessly face the world.

The American newspapers are
wasting a good deal of ink in dis
cussing the question whether any
OF the European great powers are
likely to interfere in their war with
Spain, and specializing on what
would be England's attitude were
this the case. They may rest GER
tain that no European power has
ever had the remotest intention to
interfere. or has ever dreamed of
imposing terms of accommodation
to one or other of the belligerents,
while all or any would be ready, if
asked, to act as a medium ofnego-
tiation with view to peace. The
object OF modern diplomacy, when
a war arises between two great
nations, is TO localize il, and thus
to preven its spreading. In the
first Italian war between France
and Italy, which resulted in the
loss to the latter Of Lombardy; in
the Austro- German war, and in the
Franco Prussian war, the struggle
was localized by neutrals acting
on this principle Of non-interfer.
ence. All that is WRITTEN about
some powers wanting to interfere
on behalf of Spain. and England's
insisting that such interference
must not take place. is mere jour-
nalistic myth.

GIadstone's incompatible importance
as an educator Of his nation lay in his
moral greatness. which, at the same
time, explains his weakness as TIE pilot
OF the State. 1t was a strange dispensa-
ton of fate that al the same epoch when
the German nation, the most unselfish
among the nations OF the world Csfc,,
iound in Otto Won Bismarck the man
who sternly and not unsuccessfullv
advised it to cultivate healthy egoism,
w. +. Gladstone made il the task of
life 70 bring home to the most selfish Of
all nations, whose selishness, indeed,
somestimes amounts to positive brutal
ity (Sfe), the knowledge that honor,
greatness and prosperity can only have
their foundation in justice and in that
fairness towards other nations which
wisely sacrifices the advantage of the
moment.
The heart couquering charm which
Mr.. Gladstone exercised over millions
was OF purely moral nature. He was
not an heroic figure like Bismarck, nor
a statesman like Richelieu, Cavour or
Disraeli; but his tatesmanship IS, per-
haps, best characterized by the words
practical philanthropy. An inner moral
light illuminated the whole man, anS he
never placed his phenomenal learning at
the service OF other than moral aims.

THE QUEENS SEVENTY NINTH BIRTH
DAY.
DAILY Chy0s1cIS-LondOn, May IS.
The remarkable celebration OF the
Queens birthday in the war camp at
Tampa marks an epoch IN the history
OF "the balance OF power" It is not
merely that General Shafter gives a
banquet at his headquarters in honor Of
the Queen, that the ships that wait in
the ofing to carry the American force to
Cuba are dressed with bunting in her
honor, and that the toasts are drunk
under the intertwined flags of England
andAmerica These things are notable.
But II Is still more notable that the Sec
Tetary OF State himself should send a
telegram to say that the United States
Government regard this unique celebrs-
tion with friendly interest" When
one thinks that it is only the other day
that many dominant forces in American
public feeling were steadily and often
strongly auti-EDglish, and that the stall
wart republicanlsm of the New World is
not over-tond OF royalties, this change
Of attitude is full of moment. 1t is inn
possible for even the scepucal to suppose
that it is an official trick intended to cast
dust in the eyes OF Continental diplo-
ma lists. The official recognition has
only set the seal on a movement of
spontaneous popular feeling which has
for many weeks been manifest to those
who cared to understand.
There used to be an idea that all or most
OF the anti Eng lish sentiment in America
Was que to the Irish element. Good
observers will not need 10 be told that
this was far from the truth.
The common political interest in a
larger measure OF self-government and
individual freedom than other countries
understand is an equally important link.

No possible punishment the war
can inflict will be adequate in the
case ofthe owners OF the Centen-
nial, who chartered that ship to
our Government as Manila trans
port, to be loaded with 500 OF our
soldiers, when she was absolutely
unseaworthY, as our inspectors
soon discovered.

The Angl o-Ameucan understanding
undoubtedly develops. At one end OF
the American Continent the officers of
the United States army were yesterday
celebrating the Queens birthday with
official sanction. At the other end
American troops we're embarking on an
expedition in which they are likely
enough to need at least all the moral
support which Great Britain can give
them. Some Englishmen, bearing in
mind certain events OF the past three
years, m ay perhaps be little dazed by
the sudden emotion which is displayed
in the cause Of Anglo-Saxo unity. On
this side we are apt TO suspect move.
ments which are not slow and solid. In
this case, however, we can afford to
Danish suspicion and make good use of
an opportunity which has come in due
time and which springs from causes that
lie deep in the policy OF both nations.

Mr.. GLADsToNE's DEATH.
Noydaeutsche AHgemeine zeVunq


A life full Of manifold vicissitudes
has come to a Close--a life filed with
toll which was always guided by love Of
his country and directed towards aims
OF noble humanity. Whatever may be
the tenor Of purely political estimate
OF Mr.. Gladstone, no one will tail to
recognize that man of high character
has passed away, and that Mr.. Gladstone
struggled to achieve important aims
which history will undoubtedly estimate
Alright. The dispatches from London
tell US that all England mourns him as
one OF her best sons. His political oppon-
ents, too--a proof OF the good political
manners which prevail in England
willingly pay to the departed statesman
the tribute OF their entire respect.

In Mr.. Gladstone a parsonage of great
intellectual and especially rhetorical
gifts, and OF great moral qualities
rooted, too. IN a sound Christian faith
has gone His political career was not
free from speculative vacillation and
practical irresolutiou, and the passion
within him often dimmed his sagacity
and lessened his energy In proportion
to the labor he spent on It, the results
OF his public activity, therefore, show a
certain deficit Of positively tenable
thoughts and successes both IN foreign
policy, in which he was but mediocre,
and IN home policy to which his own
inclination drew him. AS a Liberal
statesman he had the weakness of
Liberalism, and we, therefore, could

not but regard him with sceptcism and

ognize one OF quaIties-the absolute

ippines, he thinks, long before the
advent of the Spaniards In a
pamphlet which he has written on
the subject he tells OF Chinese
book dating from the third century
of the Christian era. in which gold
was said to be at that time the chief
product OF the island OF Luzon. 1t
is still extracted by the primitive
methods oil prehistoric ages. The
mines are cleared of water by palm
leaf buckets passed from hand to
hand by natives. The quartz is
crushed by stones moved bY buff
taloes. Amalgamation is unknown.
"The stuff is washed in wooden
bowls, and it takes at least 400 OF
them to make tom"
With the introduction of modern
methods wonderful development
may be expected. In respect of
mines by the seashore, repeats
Mr.. Karuth, "the Philippines are
unriValled."
Even now a narrow peninsula iuttiug
out toto the broad Pacific, headland
of white, glittering quartz, is being pre-
pared for the reception of a crushing
plant with its appurtenances, and the
machinery will be landed almost along
side OF the mill site. The peninsula is
vast ore deposit, and If experiepcsd d
men are not utterly mistaken, it will
soon take front place among notable
mines.
If all this had been generally un-
derstood a few weeks ago there
would have been no need to worry
over the question of reinforcement
or reinforcements for Dewey.
There would have been enough
American miners in the Philip
pines to eat the Spanish garrisons
with August sauce. That coun-
try is considerably more agreeable
to work in than the region OF the
