Sunday as day for fighting is Won
derfully popular. Not only is past his
tory full Of instances Of battles fought
upon the day of rest, but the United
States and Spain are making history
now in which the two most important
engagements have taken place on Sun
day. 1t seems strange indeed, that the
very day made sacred to the Prince Of
Peace should so often be that on which
war in all its awful power awakes, and,
amid the thunder of cannon, hurls
thousands of human beings to destruc-
ton. Montejo was defeated in Manila
bay on Sunday, and two months later
Cervera's fleet was blown to pieces off
Santiago on the same day of the week.

San Francisco has new charter, in
which the referendum is q salient fea-
ture. 1t has been adopted by vote
of 1856 for to 12,025 against. One
provision of the charter is that no new
franchise whatever, for lighting, water
or street railway lines, can be granted
without it is ratified by vote Of the
people at the next municipal election,
and no street railway franchise can be
renewed until within ninety days of its,
expiration, and then its renewal must
be decided by the voters, if Is per cent.
of their number sign petition to that
effect. When new franchises for street
railways are secured they run for only
twenty-five years. This is the begin
ming of movement that is likely to
spread rapidly in this country. The
growing exactionS of corporations and
the increasing venality Of common
councils in cities have left the people
no alternative except to take into their
own hands powers which it is no long
er safe to intrust to men who use office
for increasing private gains and with
out the slightest regard for the rights
or wishes of their constituents

If there is any one thing more than
another for which the American people
should offer thanks it is their national
temperament. 1t Is a temperament that
does not merely invite success, but that
practically assures 1t. In spite of our
hurry and hustle" there is, in the
American makeup, Il kind of imper-
turbable calmncss and assurance that
is akin to the British or German quail
ity, and that Is the thing we call, for
want Of a better term, Anglo Saxon,
and whose basal elements are Teutonic.
An editorial writer In the Outlook a
short time ago related conversation
overheard by him in railroad train,
in which one Of two mon, who were
commenting on the chances Of com
mon friend for election to n public Of
flee, said: Hes showed how bad he
wanted it, and don't you know If you
know man wants q thing as bad as
that, it kind Of goes against you to vote
for him? That's human nature" The
writer proceeds to show how this in
stinct, common to oil of us, so far from
part Of the forces making for public
soundness. The nominee ''intolerably
anxious to win votes is, in all proba-
bility, not the ideal man for the place,
and, while he may be morally superior
to his opponent, he lacks the tempera
ment of which the best political leaders
are made. The Outlook writer support
l. 1>,r al, S1,r%
attenuated 1t somewhat, but the gist of
his remarks was that the ideal leader
does not set his heart on any given vic
tory, because for him victory more or
less does not greatly matter-he knows
success rides upon his banners, and he
preserves his inner calmness, even
when fighting desperately for the i'm
mediate issue. This is the temperament
that wins, that is never defeated even
when it's bearer Is ground into the dust.
1t is the temperament that fights best
when it's cause is just, and that for
that reason whenever it has been pitted
against itself, as in the Revolution and
the Rebellion, has turned the balance
in favor of right rather than might 1t
is the temperament that has led
peaceful nation into war which at the
outset seemed likely to enlist all the
powers of the earth against the defend
err of the weak. 1t is the temperament
that stands behind the greatest civiliz-
ing forces Of the earth at this present
moment, and that would survive any
and all adverse forces external to
itself, so long as it had moral foot
hold. 1t is the temperament which,
even if the great blind, dense mass of
Slavism could throw itself in the track
of civilization, would still rise with
keen untroubled face above the seem
ing ruin, and would triumph in the end.
For the one thing that the Anglo
Saxon has never yet learned Is the les
son of final and real defeat. 1t is, above
all others, the invincible temperament.
