The Progress of the War.

Nc have been at war with Spain two
months and two days. The time is
sufficiently long to take stock Of our
achievements ana tinG out just how
We stand. When we entered upon this
struggle grave fears had arisen in the
popular mind that we We're not as well
prepared as We should be for such an
emergency and the popular apprehen-
sion, as ii always is, was right. The
tleet was in tolerably fair condition
IL meet tho available naval strength
Of a moderately strong naval power,
but we could scarcely have for2secn
that th- Spanish feet would turn out
10 be such a despicdpic antagonist in
commanders, men. and ships. DeWey's
victory at Manila and the bottling up
uf Corrrra at Santiago delivered the
spanish Philistincs into our power,
practically resolved itself into the in
vasion of Cuoa and the administration
Of the Philippines.
Sixteen thousand Of our troops are
lying off Santiago preparing to land.
To mobilize from widely separated ter
,itories, such as our states. to partially
arm, 10 equip in every way for pro-
lonGcd campaign in tropical country,
a body Of troops sixteen thousand
strong in the. time in which it has been
accomplished if not unparalleled in
modern military achievements is really
very respectable performance and
deserving OF the highest praise. We
do not say that the organization Of our
men was perfect. By no means. There
were irritating delays and counter nur-
poses at work in the war department
that should not have been. But no
human institution is perfect When
we trv 10 realize an ideal Of perfect

tary students take the German army
on the eve Of the FrancO-G German war.
Yet We are apt to forget in our admir-
alton Of this great achievement. that
the German authorities had foreseen
this war for many years before and
that all the resources Of the empire
had for some time before been con-
centrated in that supreme effort. The
administration at Washington up 10
the last moment believed that an hon
orable settlement could be negotiated
with Spain and our preparations went
on under the happy-gO-lucky hope that
war would somehow be avertcd

patch of 10000 men to Santiago, soon
to he followed by several thousand re-
Inducements, we have put in motion
toward Manila another army, still
larger, one-half of which Is already on
the high seas and the remainder ready
to embark as soon as a sufficient num-

reinforcemcnts is probably even now
at Manila. and the second not far from
Honolulu. In the meantime, q regular
army of $1,000 men has been expanded

respectively have been called into be-

or the many comforting aspects Of
the war to the American people, per-
haps in none may we take more legiti-
mate pride than in the ready and the
easy initiation of men and boys, fresh
from the field factory, counter. desk
or even school room into the routine
and discipline Of camp life. They have
proved themselves apt pupils in learn
ing the trade of war. The country has
in brief time obtained nearly all the
men it required for the regular as well
as for the volunteer army despite the
standard of almost physical perfection
demanded. The military spirit has
shown that 1t exists unabatod in this
country. The traditions of the Civn
war are fresh in the memory of this
generation while it's veteran surviv-
ors form picturesque and Ubiquitous
groups in almost every town and city.
Even the veterans of the Confedcracy,
those gallant survivors of misguided
valor, have joined in the patriotic i'm
pulse and are as boys again. During
these two months of war. while con-
quering all we have undertaken to con-
quer we have not lost more than a
score of mon all told. This is a fact
unparalleled in the history Of the
world.

At Santiago.

The situation at Santiago is pidly
clearing. From now on progress will
be steady and activity inccesant until
the victory is won and eastern Cuba
taken from Spanish control. Both the
American and the Cuban armies have
pushed forward with eXceptional speed.
Skaters force has established a now
record for expeditions invasion 1t is
oppOrtunely noted by a contemporary,
the Elmira Advertiser, that in the
Crimean war the allied powers were six
months in getting troops landed after
the declaration Of war. Lord Napier
was the same time in conveying IL, 900
troops 400 miles in his attack upon Mag.

in eifectng a landing in his Egyptian

a comparison of these figures-whiCh
should be known to Spanish statesmen
must be sufficient to convince anyone of
the futility of Spain's lighting the United
states. The contrast shows the GER
tainty of American success, and ii is more
certain in view of the fact that Spain is
practically bankrupt For a nation tn II
has a capital Of $S1, $50 100000 and whose
people earn Sl5,jS0 000, 900 year the eN-
penditure of 81 900 600 a day is mere bag
atelle and could be kept up for years
without injury to the country. On the
other hand, the earnings of SPANS pco-
pie are less than a tenth as much, ana
in any prolonged contest she must be
certain TO be the sufferer. In view of
these facts ii would seem almost certain
that Spain will come out of the war m Dre
bankrupt than ever. with the whole ma
ton impoverished. while every day thc
war is prolonged will but add to the
impovcrishmcnt. on the other hand, tn"

From the Toronto Glohc.
For almost two months Admiral Dewey
has been maintaining the finest "bluT'
in history. 1t will be remembered that
after the victory at Manila the Spanish
commander was Informed that the city
would be bomhardcd If the forts fired IN
the American fleet. Now q private letter
from an officer Cf Admiral Dcwey's fleet
says they almost ran out OF ammunition
when attacking Manila. When the Ships
returned 10 the second attack the Olym-
pia had only thirty-scvcn shots left for
her big guns. Dowcy's nerve in threat
cuing bomhardmcnt was even greater
than his bravery in battle.

The coming together of Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Bryan upon a platform OF
opposition TO territorial expansion is
sufficiently significant to suggest the
possibility of an early reunion Of the
Democracy. The drift Of events is
clearly in this direction.
As between the extreme positions in
dicatcd in the rerfervid rhetoric Of
General GrOsvenOr and the sullcn con-
servatism of Mr. Cleveland the mass
of intelligent Americans. we suspect,
will for q time at least declare ncu-
trality. Conquest for the sake of con-
quest land grabbing for the sake Of
empire; the spirit of wild adventure
sharpened by an appetite for spoils, is
as foreign to the best sentiment Of this
country as is the opposite doctrine of
political and moral letharGy. Neither
could get a Corporal's guard Of intel
ligent voters to support it at the polls.
But while it is true that the sem
not been stamDeded into programme
of seizure and loot it is also true that
they are keenly alive to their moral
responsibilities growing out of this war
for humanity; that, having discovered
in Spain characteristics of greed and
cruelty which make it impossible for
them to remit to Spanish jurisdiction
any territory wrested from Spain by
war; they are determined to put for
ward wherever they can the interests
Of civilization; and that if this can be
done more easily and more certainly
by the adoption of a colonial policy
looking to the establishment in the
conquered dependencies of stable and
humane government under American
initiative and protection, they stand
ready to accent this responsibility
rather than see the purpose Of the war
fail of thorough accomplishment.
on this ground Republicanism plants
its banner and invites attack.
