a railroad President, Letter to "a Popu-
lbt Editor In Kansas.
CHICAGO, Jan 2O.-PIeeidcnt Ripley
of the AtcEison, Topeka and Santa Fe
has written u letter 20 the editor Of a
Kansas Populist paper replying to II
communication Published in that paper,
citing the number Of people killed by
the railroads Of the United States as
reason why these railroads should be
put under government control. Mr..
Ripley points ont that the railways carry
the whole population of the state Of
Kansas two and a half times over be-
fore one passenger is killed; that last
year the trains on the railways in Kan
sas ran over 100000 miles, yet only one
employees life was sacrificed for eAery
43l 900 miles.
OF others killed i'll the United States
i'll 1896, the reports show that 3,Sll were
trespassers, that is to say, out of every
% persons killed, 10 We're killed because
they We're breaking the law and We're in
places where the railway people had no
reason TO expect to find them.
The owners of railways are entirely
indifferent to government ownership,
and he points out that the strongest
plea made in behalf Of the government
ownership is that of Y. b. Blackstone,
president Of the Chicagoand Alton road,
who urged it as Il measure of justice to
the railway investors. There. is no
holder Of railway securities, he says,
who does not believe that those securi-
ties would be advanced in value if there
was any prospect of the government
buying them.
He says the best managed railways of
the woIld are the English. They are
all owned and operated by private
companies. Next TO them in good man
agement, he states, are the private
owned lines of Holland and France,
while the government-owned lines in
France are very bad

The expectation of harmonious action
upon the Cuban question by the Senate has
not been realized. Instead Of prompt action
upon a reasonable proposition it is now
probable that debate will follow which
may continue no one knows how long. The
point Of difference is in regard to the recog-
milton of the present government in Cuba
and the establishing of an independent and
popular government by all of the people of
the island as the result of investigation.
The action of the House, defeating recogni-
ton while declaring for Intervention and
free government, may have some influence
upon the action of the Senate If the Sen
ate had come to a vote before the House
it is quite certain that the minority report
of the committee would have been adopted.
Now that the House has decided for inter-
vention alone by vote which is practically
unanimous, and it is certain that the Re
publican majority in that body will not re-
cede from its position, the Senate. may ac-
quiesce in the action of the House in order
to insure harmony. Should the Senate
adopt the minority resolution the PROPOSE
ton to recognize the republic of Cuba will
fail, since there cannot be an effective
recognition which has not been voted by
both branches of Congress-
1t is, therefore safe to assume at this
time that the scheme of the Junto to force
the recognition of the present civil govern
ment of Cuba will fail. Those who will
consider the subject dspassionately will
find valid reasons for not recognizing the
present government, the chief of which is
that but small part of the people of the
island had any voice in its creation
Furthermore, the pressure which has been
brought in favor of recognition by lobby
in Washington cannot be regarded with
favor.
The action of the House. which. so far
as intervention is concerned, will be in
dorsed by the Senate, must, under existing
conditions, be regarded as little less than

The Talk of Invasion.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press
The dispatches to the Press reporting that
the War Department is considering, among
confirms news brought here last week
privately by former officers of the army
who propose 20 offer their services in case
war Is declared. 1t is limited that the War
Department has been informed Of the plans
which General Grant had formulated when
he was President. and when he believed that
war with Spain on account of the VirginuS
affair was inevitable
The plan that General Grant then had is
IN Its details in the possession of some of
those who have spoken of it to the War
Department. 1t has already been described
by the Press. General Grant in case war
General Sheridan an army of fifty thousand
veterans TO Spain with the intention of maxi
ing forced march upon Madrid and would
have sent after this army another
of 100000 men with conveys, transports and
all the material necessary for the support
of that army. Grant had the utmost con-
hdence in the success of that plan chiefly
because he had an army of veterans who
had recently served in the civil war. and he
had a commander of genius, Sheridan and
other commanders of great ability and of an
experience that began in 1861 and ended in
1868. 1t was not supposed. however, when
these plans of General Grant were first dis
cussed after the Maine crime that the condi-
lions of the present day were such as to
make an invasion feasible or practicable. But
the fact that invasion is under contempla-
ton by the War Department. as the Wash
ington dispatches report, indicates that the
doubts as to the practicablity of that plan
have in some measure been removed.

DECLARING WAR.

If war is inevitable Congress should not
waste any time over the manner of declar-
ing it nor the President as to the manner
of beginning it, In a matter of so grave
Importance, and where sd much may depend
on swift action, there should be no time lost
in discussing questions of constitutional con-
structiOn. 1t is true the Constitution gives
Congress the exclusive power to declare
war, but it does not prescribe any form for
doing this. An emergency might easily
arise in which the President would be justi-
fled in acts of war without any declaration
by Congress- If this country We're invaded
during the recess of Congress it would be
the duty of the President as communicating
chief of the army and navy to use them
to repel invasion, and he would be liable to
impeachment if he did not. The declaration
of war by Congress is nothing but a formal
legislative recognition of a state of facts.
logical. result of events which Congress
could not have controlled and were either
virtually begun before any declaration by
Congress or were so clearly inevitable that
the declaration only recognized existing con-
ditions. The war of 1912 was preceded by a
long series of aggressions by Great Britain,
and when Congress finally declared war by
an act passed June 49, 1872, it declared that
war already existed This was followed the
next day by a proclamation of the President
to the same effect. The relations between
the United States and Mexico were strained
for years before war began, and there was
a long period of charges and protests on
both sides. Mexico claimed that the occu-
patton by our army of Corpus Christi, west
of the Nueces river, in August, 1S45, was an
act Of war. She also construed the annexa-
ton of Texas in December. 1S45, as an act
of war During the next few months there
were hostile demonstrations on both Sides
In March, 1916, our forces by order of the
President advanced to the Rio Grande and
the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la
Palma were fought before there was any
declaration of war. Congress declared war
on May 49, 1886 by declaring that "a state
of war exists by the act of Mexico" Thus
the presidents show that in each of our
foreign wars war has actually existed be-
fore it was declared. If Congress should
choose to construe the destruction of the
Maine as an act of war it could declare war
by simply stating that fact and recognizing
war as an. existent condition.
As the Constitution gives Congress the
sole power to declare war it should not dele
gate the power to the President. 1t should
not seek to evade or divide responsibility
that the Constitution places upon it. If it
means war it should say so, or at least, if
it intends that the President shall begin
war it should make his duty plain and inn
perative. There is a French adage "One
cannot make omelette without breaking
eggs If Congress means war it should
declare it without any ifs or ands or mental
reservations. We do not want a declaration
of war with string TO it, nor one that
will leave the President in doubt as to his
dutv

there is question L will not attempt to an
swer." The answer is obvious. The Span
ish soldiers are comparatively worthless.
Admitting that they are personally brave,
which may or may not be true, it takes
several things besides personal bravery to
make good soldiers. Among officers it takes
intelligence. fitness to command ability to
inspire the respect of men. and at the same
time a certain interest in and comradeship
with the men that causes prompt obedience
and cheerful performance OF duty. These
qualities in officers must all be duplicated
or reflected in the men, and in addition
there must be thorough discipline and drill
and an esprit dI corps which Is the natural
cutgrowth Of all these things. From all
