EX-GOVERNOR BLANCO.

II IS "ex-Governor" now Marshal BlaDco
steps down and out, renqushing to General
Castellanos the brief remnant which yet re-
mains OF the Spanish GOvernorship OF Cuba.
The incident Is made by some an occasion for
fouts and ieers; the moderate ones even say
ing that nothing in his administration became
him so well as his ending It. Such treatment
seems 10 be lacking in both taste and juds-
ment. 1t IS not manly 10 insult fallen foe.
Brave men do not do It. And the impartial
student Of the last two or three years will find
ample room for some defence of Marshal Ban
co. If not for encomlums upon him.
Consider the circumstances. A little more
than n wear ago he was sen; TO Cuba as Gov
crnor-General He had held that office in the
Philippines and had-thrOugh no personal fault
of his own-been caught mapping by the insur-
gents He had resigned that office there 10
General Polavieja without any loss Of credit
or confidence but he felt most anxious to vim
dicate himself from even n suspicion of in
comDetence by high achievements elsewhere.
So he came to Cuba with hopes Of being able
TO ouell the insurrection and save the Island
to Spain Never was a man more sincere in
his ambition. Never. perhaps, did one try hard
er to achieve success. But he was too heavily
handicapped by the preceding infamics of Wey-
Ter. From the first his task was hopeless.
He doubtless realized il TO be 50. He did his
best. but the Madrid Government either could
not or would not support his policy. He found
himself fettered and hampered at every turn
and conspred against by his own officers at
the instgatlor Of his predecessor. He wished
10 resign but was not allowed TO do so.
When the war broke out he found himself
! doomed to fresh disappointments. He wanted
10 fight He possessed the martial ardor that
once made Spanish soldiers all but masters OF
the world He had been content 10 perish,
failing on the fOeman's ground. When the
franks are rolrd IN vapor and the winds are

/ leading fierce sortie from Havana by land,
os Ccrvera did by sea from Santiago. But that
was denied him. Our armies would not attack
nor invest Havana and our ships would not
lombard It, And lie was compelled to eat
/ his own heart In the bitterness Of enforced in
oction while Ccrvera and Linnres and TOral

enough TO change a wholesome heart TO gall.
This Is no time to dwell upon his harsh words
about this country or his alleged discourtesy

LYMAN ABBOTT.

The determination Of Dr. Lyman Abbott TO
retire from the pulpit will he regretted by
thousands outside the circle of plymouth
Church. The range Of his Influence as an ed
itor has been great, but 1t is as preacher that
he has occupied unique place ana gwen a
new vitality to the Christianity of many peo-
Die who found difficulty in recOnciling the re-
ligion OF their traditions with the secular
thought OF their time The great body OF
Christians, perhaps. need no such rcconciling.
Others find satisfaction in the most radical de-
parture from orthodoxy. But there is middle
class who wish TO hold the old faith. but who
are bound to face its problems nationally and
frankly TO them a man like Lyman Abbott
Il "A tower of strength, a conservative force.
and at the same time an intellectual stimulus.
Not TO have his regular teaching Will be Il serl-
Gus deprivation to those who gathered from
week TO week to hear him. and it will also be
a loss to others who believed in him, and were
more serious and reverently thoughtful because
Of him, even though they did not often come
under his personal minstrations.
One man who is at once rcvercnt and fear
lessly thoughtful. who strives to see things
clearly and see them straight, Is a great thing
for the spiritual life Of any community. Con
yontion and conservatism surround most re-
ligious teachers. and it is we'll that it is 50.
With them Is deposited a sacred trust, and
their noble disposition is to guard it at all
hazards against attack. They instinctiycy
shut their eyes TO facts that trouble doubters
rather than risk by any admission possible
harm 10 what they would guard Against
them are ranged forces which would utterly
! tear down the sacred structure. He is a rare
| man who can be the revcrcnt icOnocast. who
can deal with sacred things cleared of the
wrappngs of convention. This DR.. Abbott
could do and while thousands of Christians
! had no need Of his method. there are doubtless
! thousands Of others who have been brought
| 10 a living Christian belief by his method when
otherwise they would have drftcd into cold
! and barren ratiOnasm.
! DR. Abbott succeeded n preacher OF world
| wide fame. He took the pastoratc Of con-
| gregation which had been gathered about ono
man Perhaps more than any other religious
organization in the world it was due 10 one
personality. and seemed TO depend on that per
] sonality. II was Il common belief when Henry
Ward Beechcr died that Plymouth Church
would go to pieces because Of the evident i'm
! possibility of any other pastor being what Mr..
Beecher to people whose bond OF union
had been so largely Mr. Beechcr. 70 Lyman
Abbott fell Mr. Beecher's work. II literally
fell 10 him. He did not design to take it up
and the church did not design TO have him. II
was a power outside both that seemed grad
ually 10 force the relationship. and the result
