Giant heads. bodies and brains were
Webster and Cass. says the New York
Press. All the strength of New Hampshire
granite was concentrated in those two
sons. To look upon them made the ordi-
nary man feel small. One removed to Mas
sachusetts. the other TO Michigan, and
never were two States more highly honor
ed When these men met in the United
States Senate they were as imposing as
Mount Washington, under whose shadow
they were reared. Wonderful eyes they
possessed, and men have been known to
shiver with dread when one or the other
allowed his glance to fall upon them Cass
could look through a stranger in way to
make his brain burn and his knees knock
together. One searching stare seemed to
destroy all mentality and fill the victim
with paralytic emotions.
The other day l saw a man slap Senator
Hanna on the back, cry Hello, Senator!"
and receive a pleasant salute in reply. No
man dared take liberties with Cass. In
1916 the proprietor of the National Hotel in
Washington was a man who so closely re-
sembled the great senator from Michigan
that he was often mistaken for him. An
old friend, returning from a journey, en-
tered the lobby, and, seeing him leaning
against the desk, slipped up behind and
hit him a terrific whack on the shoulder,
saying cheerily and simultaneously, Hello
old man; here am, back again! How are
your Senator Cass Strengthened up his six
feet three, and, turning upon the assailant
his terrible, bioodshotten eyes almost ami
hilated him with a look. Not a word was
spoken. That look was ample. The strang-
er was so ratified that he could not even
apologize, but skunk dejectedly out of the
hotel
Later in the day, when Congress was
supposed to be In session, the stranger re-
turned TO the hotel 10 shake hands with
the proprietor and tell him all about the
'Cass incident. Walking bravely up he laid
his hand down on his friends shoulder,
and, without waiting for a greeting, sur
prised him with: See here, old fellow, you
got me in a duce of a scrape this morn
ing. Why, you know, took old Cacs for
you; slapped him on the back, nearly tax.
ing off shoulder, and the old fool looked
al me like he wanted to commit murder
The darned old lunatc-why doesn't he
stay out of here? He knows" Again the
great senator from Michigan Strengthened
up his six feet three, again turned his
blood-shotten eyes, again he looked and
again the victim fed. Two mistakes OF
that kind in one day were enough to dis
concert the stoutest heart, and the man
actually left Washington.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-04-24

The same newspapers which helped TO
force the country into war by the publica-
ton Of highly sensational dispatches and
infiammatory editorial articles are now
saying that the war could be ended in two
weeks by two swift and decisive blows,
one at Havana and the other at Porto
Rico. These same papers, if they were
permitted to have their way. would send
a lot of raw militia to Cuba 10 meet the
disciplined and thoroughly armed soldiers
Of Spain. There is a big Spanish army in
Cuba The capture of Havana wouldn't
necessarily cause Spain to abandon that
island. Her army there must be forced
to surrender, and that can be accomplish
ed only by having an army somewhere
near the size of that of Spain to cooperate
with the feet. After Havana and some
of the other ports are occupied there will
be work for an army 10 do. And 1t must
be good army-an' army not only of
first-ciass material, but thoroughly armed,
equipped and disciplined.
AT the beginning of the war Of secession
some Of the Northern papers insisted that
the war could be ended in thirty or sixty
days if swift and decisive blows were
struck. The federal government attempt
ed TO strike such blows, and what was the
result? That question need not be an
swered. The whole world knows the an
swer.
We believe In a vigorous prosecution Of
the war, but we do not believe in landing
a poorly armed, badly disciplined and lily
prepared army in Cuba. We couldn't be
guilty of any greater folly than to make
the mistake of inviting a battle before We
were prepared for it. We might suffer a
defeat that would give the Spaniards a
chance to point the finger of scorn at us
and encourage the greater part of Europe
to combine against us.
There should be no unnecessary delay
and no wasting of time in making prepar-
ations, and when we are ready we should
strike promptly and vigorously.
We have trained men entrusted with the
duty of conducting the war. If we are
to hold them to strict accountability we
must permit them to use their judgment
as to when we have an army that is fitted
to cope with the Spanish army in Cuba
If we have no confidence in them we
should get rid of them as quickly as pos
sible, but if we trust them we should not
undertake to map out the campaign for
them and tell them when the army is
ready for battle.
In the regular army there are only about
1900 effective men which could be spared
for service in Cuba. 1t will be found in
all probability. that Gomez's army doesn't
amount to much. Instead of SC, Coos men,
it wouldn't be surprising if he hasn't more
than 10000 That number, with 1900 of
our regular army, would hardly be sufi-
cient to cope with the Spanish army in
Cuba. We must have an army of volun-
teers, and an army of that kind can't be
made ready for campaign in day I'm
less Spain backs down altogether the war
isn't going to end in two weeks, nor two
months.

The movements Of the Spanish warships
become now a matter of quite as much
interest as the movements of the Ameri-
can ships. Rumors of all sorts are flying;
some to the effect that the Cape Verde
squadron has moved G. end others that it
Is still there. This squadron's actions may
indicate what Spain proposes to ''do about
it," 1t seems to be the opinion in some
well informed quarters that Spain's move
ments SO far have indicated that she will
act on the defensive, keeping her best
fighters close to her home territory.

President Mckinley. Cabinet.

E. The Presidents cabinet is not a strong
one. There are men of ability in 1t, in
fact all of its members are men
of ability, but no one of them
Is regarded as strong, domi-
mating character, or as particularly able
adviser. When in his prime Mr.. Sherman,
the Secretary of State was regarded as
man of very great ability. but he is super
animated now. and at no time was he
very familiar with diplomatic matters. 1t
is understood that he is to go out of the
cabinet. He ought never to have had
place In II. When he was appointed his
mental decline was so marked as to cause
comment. And he is to be succeeded by
Judge Day of Canton, Ohioi The Presi-
dent must think that brains are not re-
qulred In the state department. In such
a time as this a man like Richard Olney
or James G. Blaine should be at the head
of the state department.; If the President
has incompetent advisers he must expect
to make mistakes.
In the appointment Of Postmaster Gen
eral the President had a chance to rec
oshize the South-the Soutn not having
a cabinet representative. Instead of COM
ing South he went to Philadelphia for a
Postmaster General when Mr.. Gary re-
signed the other day. The appointee, Mr.
Smith, is a good party man and doubtless
is well able to handle the postofflce de-
partment, but he adds nothing to the
strength of the cabinet.
The truth is the President hasn't man
In his cabinet who commands the con-
fdence of the country-that is. no one of
them, except Mr.. Sherman. has achieved
sufficient prominence to make the country
feel that he is an entirely safe adviser,
and he is, according to report, in his sec
ond childhood, practically. 1t is unfortu-
nate for the President and for the country
that in the present troublous times the
cabinet is so lacking in strength.

Submarine Cables I'm WAR.

The government 1t is understood. is try
ing to secure the cable steamer Mackay-
Bennett for war purposes. The steamers
ordinary functions are to lay and repair
deep-sea telegraphic cables She Is desired
by the government for the work of laying
cables at short notice, in the event that
they should be deemed desirable, and fer
picking up cables at sea- making connec-
ton with them and thus establishing com
munication with Washington. The adyan-
tages which might accrue to the govern
ment from having the facilities for tele-
graphing to Washington from mid-ocean.
in the event of naval hostilities, are OBJ
vious. The cable steamer would be able
to watch the movements of the navy, re-
ceive signals from the naval craft, pick
up a cable and transmit the dispatches to
Washington, receive orders from the capt.
tai, transmit them to the fleet, and per-
form similar services, thus keeping the
authorities on land in comparatively close
touch with the fleet at sea.
The governments efforts>to secure the
cable ship bring TO the front again the
matter Of the status of submarine tele-
graphic cables in time of war There is
no precedent fixing the status of cables
at such times; at the same time, an in
ternational conference, held at Paris in
1884. laid down some general principles
with regard to cables. Both the United
States and Spain were parties to that con-
ference, and its agreement. Under the
terms of the convention, the wanton de-
struction of Geographic cables, or the in
jury of the same by cuipable negligence,
is punishable crime. Laws have been
passed In the several countries to carry
the conclusions of the conference into eff
feet. At the same time, 1t has been an
nounced on behalf of Great Britain and
Belgium, and perhaps other parties to the
conference. that 1t is their understanding
belligerent slgnatory of the convention
shall be free to act In regard TO eubma-
rine cables as though the conference had
never taken place. The effect of the agree
ment, therefore, is limited. At the meet
ing OF the Institute of International Law
in London in 1871 it was declared that
whenever ut IS desirable that the tele-
graphic communication must cease. as the
result OF a state of war" the steps taken
must be limited to measures strictly nee
essary to prevent the use OF the cable"
and that an end should be put to these
measures and the consequences should be
repaired as soon as the cessation OF hostil-
