Flowing With Our Heifer.

The future historian of contemporary
American politics will have some
difficulty in explaining why it was that
representative Democrats of this day
and generation allowed the Republicans
to seize upon the good old Jeffersonian
and Jacksonian doctrine of national
progress expansion and glory and make
4 party question of it.
We must have fallen upon degenerate
days when the Whites, Bacons, Clays.
Joneses, ct id genus omne, allow the
Mckinley Administration and its ad-
herents to harness and plow with the
Democratic heifer of American ad-
vancement and commercial greatness.
Not to ascribe more unworthy motives.
il would seem as if their conception CT
political policy was confined to the idea
that Democratic platforms and sue
cesses were only possible of construc-
ton out of blind opposition to anything
and everything proposed by the Repub-
lican party.
They are destined to an unpleasant
awake ming. The masses who compose
the National Democracy are Americans
before they are partisans. If the un-
faithful chieftains who are nothing
more than self-seeking persons and pol
iticians, and only Americans in the
true seEse of the word when it suits
their interests or purposes to be So

trays from the path of the fathers who
principally will suffer by the operation,
and not the rank and file.
The latter will know that the Re
public still lives, and that it has
emerged from the chrysalis of its old
Chinese seclusion, congested produc-
tion and industry. and stepped forth

Century. young giant among the COM

And it is to that end that true Democ-

seem 20 he that If the new vessels OF

thority that there are at least fifty bat

ships of the United States. If this be
true and we do not doubt it, Congress
cannot too quickly take hold Of the
matter and find out where the fault lies.
We may not remedy the matter as to
vessels already built. but it seems to
us that ii is criminal waste Of the
peoples money to foist fifteen and six
teen knot vessels upon them, when
competing nations are pushing rapidly
toward twenty-knot standard.
To say that we must accept so hu-
initiating a position in the march of
naval progress is to talk nonsense, and
to suggest things which ought to be in
vestigated.

Lieut.. Hobson was ridiculed when

His first herolsm was shown in his faith

second heroism was revealed again when
at school and ridiculed by his school

naturally paved the way for the heroic
deed of sinking the Merrimac at the

MoTDAY. JUNE 27, 1898.
To Attack the Spanish COast.

President Mckinley has made a
prompt reply to the threat conveyed
by Spain in sending Admiral Camara
with the remains of the Spanish navy
toward our Philippine possess ons- This
morning a bulletin was posted at the
Navy Department announcing that
Commodore Watson, lately in command
of the bIockading squadron off Havana,
will sail today in the Newark to join
Admiral Sampson, from whom he will
receive a squadron of armored vessels
with which he is to proceed immediately
to the coast of Spain.
That the effect of this movement will
be to send Camara scurrying back from
Port Said to Cadiz is not a matter for
much doubt, but, whether that shall re-
suit or not, there is no apparent reason
why the present program of the Gov
ernment should be changed. If the Ca
diz fleet, so called, is to return to Span
ish waters there is all the greater oc-
casion for the American eNpedit on. In
that case the opportunity will be pre-
sented to Commodore Watson to give
the Spaniards taste of war at home.
and, at the same time, to show them
how easy il is for American ships and
gunners to capture or SINK their navy.
1t is really in the nature of mission
airy enterprise, the saving power of
which cannot be too highly estimated
1t would be nearly irreligious to aban-
don il on any account.

THE CHANNEL NOT BLOCKED.

OF Santiago. June "a. via Por, Antonio.
June 26.-It has remained for the stanch
dynamite cruiser, the, .yesuvius. to DEM
onstrate that the entrance TO Santiago
harbor was not completely blocked by
the sinking of the Merrimac.
While poking her nose about the en-
trance to the harbor a few nights ago
the Vesuvius discovered ample room in
which to pass the wreck of the Merri-
mac. She wen, in. made observations
along the inner harbor and then came
back to sea, getting around the wrecked
collier without difficulty.
Capt. Chadwick, in discussing this mat
ter from a naval standpoint. admits that
IL Is n question whether the Merrimac
had been properly sunk.
He said he feared Lieut. Hobson ana
his plucky men had taken the vessel too
far into the harbor before sinking her
As the collier now lies. 1t is understood.
the channel is comparatively free OF OBJ
struction. Such is the opinion OF men
on the Vesuvius, and their opinion Is
based on experience. Not only did the
dynamite cruiser pass the wreck Whle
accommodating about the outer forts the
other night but 1t gave to Admiral
Sampson news which resulted in clos
er examination Of the wreck as 1t now
lies
1t has been ascertained that two battle
ships can enter the harbor abreast, one
passing to the right and the other to the
left of the Merrimac wreck. This Is an
opportunity that will be of great advan-
tage to Admiral Sampson when the final
attack on Santiago begins.
Lieut.. Hobson and his men still are In
communication with the fleet There is
little prospect that they will be exchang-
ed before the attack on Santiago is made.

New, York, June, g.-The Herald prints

who are known to have much money at
their back.
LAS long as Sagasta remains at the head
Of the government the Car,ists have
small chance. Their bitter enemy knows
their hand as well as themselves. He
does not fear them.
"Weyler, universally accepted as the
head Of the Carlists. is minutely watched.

day:
only three weeks ago no one who re-
garded his personal safety could publicly
advocate peace here. Now however the
subject is admitted everywhere as de-
batable. Platonic aspirations after peace
find echo from every corner Of the land.
Still. when the conditions are discussed
and II Is realized that Americas terms
involve the loss OF nearly all of Spain's
colonial possessions the party is at once
placed in hopeless minority. With the
exception of Pi Margall. the veteran
leader of the federaie republicans. who
consistently opposed war from the be-
ginning, republicans and Carlisis, are
dead against peace treaty.

written on the torn shreds of Spanish

The greatest obstacle to peace is the
dense ignorance In this country regarding
the strength and resources of the United
States. AT the last census Spain's popu-
lation slightly exceeded 1i,0o000 Of
whom ll.0000J could neither read nor
write. Those who can read are compelled
to draw information from a press that
has trsvestied the history of the war
from the beginning.
According to the Spanish authorities
every American navy vessel has been dis
Hbled at one time or another by Spanish
guns and towed in hopeless condition
from the scene of action. while American
dead are secretly buried by the hundreds.

after day. by these journals as a motley
