was made on the other eide Of the world,
and Its complete and bloodless success
shattered the power OF Spain at one blow
and changed tho whole course Of American
history. The Philippines we're our proper
objective, but sensational newspaper strate-
glsts had overlooked IL. DEwEYs triumph
gave renewed confidence to our whole navy
and filled II with the inspiration Of victory.
The vaunted power OF the Spanish navy,
previously ranked above our own In
strength, was proved in a single engage
ment to be n delusion. Foreign opinion
and even timorous home misgivings had
looked for disaster for us at the beginning
Of the hostilitles, but, instead, victory at
tended our arms from the first stroke to the
last with never avariation. Neither on sea
nor on land did we suffer a single reverse, q
single delay in our victorious progress.
The strength Of our regular army was
20,477 on April 30. During May, June
and July 1t was recruited up to 51,S57,
or about 10000 less than tho maxi
mum strength allowed under the bill
for the increase OF the force passed by
Congress. From this army chiefly were
drawn the three expeditions sent by us to
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, oil
Of them being transported over long dis
tances by sea, involving an inflnitude of
arduous details, all Of them landing sue
,oessfully, and all Of them accomplishing
their purpose so that only four months
after the declaration Of war hostilities were
brought to a conclusion and negotiations
for peace begun. 1t was feat Of which
even q nation organized on military basis,
with great army always at hand, might
well have had reason to be proud.
The original purpose Of the Administra-
tion, as expressed in the Hull bill for the
reorganization Of the army, was to provide
for an increase Of the regular army to a
strength which would have furnished a
trained force sufficient for the necessities Of
active campaigning without enforced re-
lance upon the militia or volunteers The
history Of the failure of that bill has been
related by Mr.. HULL. Under a mistaken
apprehension Of its purpose, militia officers
in many States protested against 1t to their
Congressman, on the ground that 1t would
deprive them OF a share Of the glory Of the
war, and accordingly the House Of Repre-
sentatives ran away from this wise and
necessary bill almost in a panic; and con-
sequently an insufficient increase OF the
regular army was voted.
That was great mistake; but, in spite
Of it, American valor, ingenuity, and re-
source carried through the war in four
months to complete victory, and with
relative loss small almost beyond preee-
dent 1t was magnificent achievement,
and the American people have reason for
boundless pride and unceasing thankful
ness because OF it.

Essentially National.

The term OF the Governor Of New York
has been changed twice in recent years.
Originally and for many years two years
term, it was heightened to three years.
after the election OF 1875. Upon the adop-
tion of the amendments to the Constitution
submitted to the voters for ratification in
1894, the two years term was restored
The term is now two years. =
In consequence Of these conditions and
changes, it has happened that at only three
elections for Congressman in a quarter of a
century in New York the Governorship has
been the highest executive office to be
filed. These three elections were those
Of 1874, 1882, and 1894. This year the
election will be for a Governor and Con-
gressmen, and this year, as in all pre-
ceding elections under the same con-
ditions, national issues will completely
overshadow minor and local questions. An
election at which Congressman are voted
for is always a national election, to be
decided by the consideration of national
questions and by the relation which the
rival political parties bear to them.
Imperatively and unavoidably this years
election in New York will be fought and
won on national issues, precisely as has
been the case in all preceding contests when
a Governor and members of-Congress, but
no Presidential electors, were to be chosen.
