FAREWELLS TO THE VOLUN-
TIERS.

From various towns throughout the
state comes the news that farewells
have been or are to. be rendered the
boys who have volunteered for the war
with Spain. That is right. They are
entitled to every recognition and mark
of respect. Their country has issued a
call to them and they have promptly
and cheerfully responded to the CALL
1t is possible that they may not have to
quit the state, it is to be hoped that
they will not, but when they rendered
their services it was with the expecta-
ton that they would go to Cuba; the
only modification of that expectation is
that they may go to the Philippine
islands. To whichever place they may
go they will be right under the tropics,
and that of itself will be no small mat
ter. All this was known to them when
they volunteered, but they were not
deferred for a single moment.
1t is proper that every town sending
volunteers to the general rendezvous
should give them a good send-off. 1t
may be that they viii never have to
fight. but they have given the very best
evidence of their patriotism, and what
more can man do? The coming to-
gether of several hundred men from
all parts of the state, and all for the
purpose of serving their country, will
have a most salutary effect it will tend
to unity the state as nothing else could,
for the purpose for which they have as
sembled is, in their case, the one touch
of nature that makes the whole world
kin.
And when the gallant boys in blue
shall leave the state it should be made
the occasion of the biggest and most
magnificent demonstration ever seen in
Utah. And there is no doubt it will be-

There are not wanting signs that there
the two countries in a very short
time; on the result of such battle
would depend the question of the du-
ration of the war. If it should be in
favor of the American fleet it would
practically be the end of the war; the
terms of peace alone would remain to
be arranged. On the other hand. should
such a battle result in Spanish vic
tory it would certainly mean a pro-
longation of the war. 1t would elate
Spain beyond all bounds and make her
believe herself a final victor. In such
an event this country might have to re-
build its navy, for never in the world
would the people think of permitting
q peace to be negotiated as the result
of a Spanish victory; nor would the
nation accept European Intervention. 1t
is not impossible that Spain may be in
duced by some Of the nations of Eu-
rope to tender terms of peace now;
such terms as would be a virtual COM
pliance with the demands of the United
States. Those demands now would be
considerably more than they were
when the demand for the evacuation of
Cuba was made. Spain would have to
withdraw from Porto Rico as well as
Cuba, and the former might be re-
tanned as partial indemnity.
The next few days will most proba-
bly, see such developments as will have
a determining effect upon the whole
war, for it seems to be in the air that
something of the gravest Importance
is about to happen. Will next Sunday
night bring news of another great vic
tory? If it does, the duration of the
war will be very short.

I'm no way can the administration
make a more convincing display of it's
patriotism than by meeting with stub
born resistance the effort that is being
made to convert the army into polit-
ical machine" says the Kansas City
Star. "It is understood that this scheme
meets with no favor from the president
and his cabinet, while the people re-
gard it as nothing short of an outrage.
There is no room in any war for po-
litical generals. There have been such
in the United States, and always to
the detriment of the cause which they
pretended to serve There is no branch
of the public service in which the man
with pull should find as little quarter
as in the army and navy. There, if no
where else should favor and promo
ton rest upon the question of merit

FALSE REPORTS.

In war time, when there is much ex-
element, it is to be expected that there
will be more or less inaccurate informa-
ton; this is inevitable, but there is no
excuse in the world for sending out
reports that are nothing but deliberate
falsehoods. Not only does the sending
out of such reports lack sense, but
they are pernicious and wicked, and
| the authors of them should be punished.
if it is possible to do so.
The country was imposed upon by
such a report yesterday. 1t was to the
effect that Admiral Kirkland. at Mare
Island navy yard, was in receipt of a
cablegram from Commodore Dewey.
telling Of the terrible loss of life in his
fleet as the result of his battle with
the Spanish fleet at Manila. The very
nature of such news is to put the coun-
try in a fever of excitement. The re-
suit was sorrow and grief among those
who have friends and relatives in Com
modore Dewey's fleet, and great anx-
iety on the part of the whole people.
In times of excitement people do not
stop to reason. If they had done that
yesterday they would have known how
absolutely absurd such a report was.
They would have known, if they had
reflected, that Commodore Dewey
would send his first report to the navy
department..
If the war continues for any length
of time it is altogether probable that
there will be plenty Of reports of bad
news that will be true, and it will not
be necessary TO manufacture them.
What the people want and demand at
this time is the plain, simple truth,
whether. it conveys good or bad news.
The maker and dissemination of false
reports in times like these is a public
enemy.

DURATION OF THE WAR.

Commodore Dewey's victory has had
the effect to make many believe that
the war will be of very short dura-
ton. The only reason for this belief
is the fact that the Spanish naval force
in the Philippines has been annihilat-
ed. That victory has had the effect to
put all Spain in a state bordering on
revolution; the only thing that can pre-
vent revolution there is victory over
the American fleet in Cuban waters.

The Tribune's Washington cor
respondent reasserted yesterday that
Minister Woodford did deliver the
ultimatum to Spain, though
this time it was a verbal one
If he did, why did the correspondent
telegraph mis- paper that Woodford was
in deep disgrace in Washington and
was roundly denounced at the state de-
partInent? Then, again, why does he
attempt to open a closed incident?

COMMENTS BY THE PRESS.

Philadelphia Ledger: The Harvard pro-
fessors are still talking peace. one or
them, Professor Lyon. in speech IN Bos-
ton, on Thursday, declared that the cap
ture of Spanish merchant vessels was
nothing less than piracy. The war IS
growing earnest: blood has been shed;
spies are operating; one OF them mas
been caught and will probably be snot;
the whole country will soon be on war
footing When that time comes, sOcn
speeches as that of Professor Lyon VIII
be treason. and should be dealt with as
such.

mans friends in Ohio have gone l" the

gentlemen on any subject. Mr.. sherman

room for Mark Hanna, and has been per-

Meeting at Linden.

A large gathering of republicans Of the
thirteenth election district Of Montgomery
county assembled at Irving Hall, Linden,
last evening in response to the notice Of
meeting of those favoring the election Of
an Independent delegation to the county
convention to be held at Rockville in Au-
gust, for the purpose of selecting a citizen
of Montgomery county as the choice of a
majority of tine voters of the county as
the candidate of the republican party for
election as representative in Congress of
the sixth congressional district.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.
Frank Page. Major c. H. Lawrence was
elected chairman, and Mr.. Charles Peters
secretary, Addresses were delivered by
Messrs. B. F. Leighton. Wright Curtis.
Julian c. Dowel and John Addison.
A resolution was presented and adopted,
providing that 1t was the sense Of the
meeting that the efforts of all republicans
having the good of the party at heart
should be earnestly directed toward the
selection Of an uninstructed delegation to
the county convention, to the end that the
members of the delegation shall be free to
exercise their discretion, and to act with
other independent delegates from other
districts either ir supporting an announced
candidate or such other person as may ap-
pear to the convention, after due delibera-
ton and consultation, will best represent
the district, and whose selection will best
subserve the good of the party and Of the
whole people"

by democrats who believe that to defeat
his nomination for second term might in
the sixth Maryland district. This same OBJ
lection has been echoed by some of Nc
Dorald's opponents in his own party,
doubtless because no fault can be found
with his votes or record in the present
House. The objection made by the Laurel
correspondent is that the Constitution pro-
vides that no man who holds any office
under the United States is eligible to
seat in Congress. The answer to this is
that retired army officer is not holding a
OWL office under the United States. There
is nothing in this objection. Mr.. McDon-
aid has held seat in Congress for two
years. by virtue of his tried American
citizenship and the votes Of the majority
of the sixth Maryland district and no OBJ
lection has been made even by his political
opponents. The reason no objection has
been made Is doubtless because there was
and Is no tenable ground for objection.

is a military Office under the United States.
Incompatfbility of Office is one thing and
inhibition of Office another. Incompatible
ty of office is derived from the doctrines
OF the common law, and has been of slow
growth. There is no compatibility of office
between that of a member of the House of
Representatives and military office held
by an officer of the United States army on
the retired list" See second controllers
