SIMPSONS RIDE.

with Apologies to T. Buchanan Read.)
Out of the mouth of Santiago bay,
Where the Yankee blockading squadron
An olninous cloud of smoke uprolled.
Telling of how Cervera bold

Daring for freedom the deadly fray
ana Sampson eleven miles away.
Leading the desperate Spanish van
The flagship Maria Teresa ran,
The admirai'S pennant at her peak
And crowding behind her, jowl by cheek
Inc Oquendo, Colon. and Vizcaya,
came steaming out in grim array,
And Sampson eleven miles away.
Then came those maritime dogs of war.
The terrible Pluton and fierce Furor.
WITH dread torpedo and quick-fire gun.
Well calculated to fight and run:
But the little Gloucester bars their way
And sinks them both in the fearful fray
With Sampson seven miles away.
The Brooklyn, Texas and Iowa.
And oregon, too, were blazing away
IN style to make the DonS feel tired
The Spanish flagship was quickly fired
And soon beside the Oquendo lay,
A burning wreck off CabanaS bay
And Sampson only five miles away.

Took special charge of the Vizcaya.

Douglas and the Fiddle

Here is a story that the late Frederick
Douglass used to tell about himself, says
the Buffalo Express. Once when he was in
Dublin he felt very lonesome. He was
wandering about the streets when he was
attracted by two vioiins in the window of
a secondhand dealer. Frederick entered
and asked the price of one OF .-ie instru-
ments.
Five shillings, sor." said the Irish
dealer.
Frederick tuned the violin and began to
play Rocky Road to Dublin Soon the
proprietor's wife heard the music and en-
tered the rear door. Then Frederick
started in on The Irish Washerwoman.' -
and the couple began to dance for dear
life. When the music and dancing stopped
Frederick rendered the dealer five shil-
lings. but the performance on the violin
had greatly enhanced its value in the mind
of the storekeeper, and as he hurried
away to place of security he exclaimed:
II q black nagur can git such chunes
out of that fiddle, I'll never sell it at any
price, begorrah."

THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM.

Administration organs and others
which have been trying to get into the
administration band wagon have made
some iaughable blunders in regard to
the Philippines as well as the Cuban in
vasion.
Whenever the Washington City ST.
mon has said Thumbs up" with alac-
rity they responded. When he says
Thumbs down" they do the best they
know. a little while ago it looked as if
the policy of the party in power would
be to retain the Philippines. So every
cuckoo in the country took UP the cry.
But the president is not so sure about
the wisdom of annexing a revolution
with thousand pirate-infested, coolie-
cursed islands attached. He is becom-
ing convinced that the acquisition of
territory is a matter of business, rather
than of sentiment, and, while he has
apparently been a long time making
UP his mind on this matter, it is better
late than too late.
It viii now be in order for all the
cuckoos to change their tune and sing
a song of opposition to Philippine an
neXatiOn.
The New York Mail and Express has
been a rank imperialist, but it sees
danger in oriental acquisitions now,
which apply to all islands so remote as
to be outside of "our sphere of influ-
ence." It says:
We do not want the Philippines. nor
anything more than a naval station in
the islands we have captured The
Philippines are too remote. They are
not within our sphere of influence
They would be a burden, and in the end
curse. Give them independence, also,
and let them, like Cuba, work out the
problem of nationality under our
friendly tuition. }ii
Would you turn the natives over to
the tender mercies of Spain again?
asks a local contemporary Inasmuch
as Dewey has had his hands full in |
trying to keep the natives from wiping
the Spaniards off that part of the earth |
the question is ridiculous. The insur- |
gents have killed and captured as many |
spaniards as they could find in the
outside of Manila, and |
they have had that place at. their mercy
for weeks. Solicitude for the welfare of |
the Philippine insurgents is a wasted
They are masters of the
aside from the invaders.
Then what should be done with those
islands? another contemporary asks.
1t is indeed a problem; but we are
not under obligations to keep standing
armies on foreign islands at the ex-
pense of American taxpayers simply
for the sake of humanity. When bar
barity becomes a nuisance at our very
doors, it is time to abate the nuisance.
as was thought in the case of Spanish
rule in Cuba
A Chicago newspaper tells of a con-
with New York bricklayer
which seems to be about the best So
ution of any yet presented.
The reporter says: l accosted him
md when. after a few preliminaries,
inquired his views as to the annexa-
ion Of the Philippines, he responded,
aconically:
'Dagos bad enough; Malays nit. /
NEW a Malay sailor once, and don't
want to know any more
But shall we give those islands back
o Spain?" 1 asked.
Give Spain nothing" was his indig-
liant response.
Then what shall we do with them?"

SCHLEY AND SAMPSON.

Chicago Times Herald: Commodore
! Schleys report on the battle of Santiago
will emphazise the popular estimate of his
| character, which is that he is as modest
as he is skillful and brave In many re-
! sDects the report is a good companion
! document for Dewey's report on Manila.
! 1t does not contain a boastfGl or egotis-
teal phrase 1t makes no attempt to
credit the writer with having performed
anything but his plain duty, but. like
Dewey the commodore in command of
the second squadron unstintedly praises
the conduct of the officers and men on
the Brooklyn and pays tribute to the cap
tains of the other vessels in the squadron.
st. Joe Gazette: Admiral SIMPSONS re-
port of the battle which resulted in the
destruction of Cefvera's fleet has disap-
pointed public expectation. 1t relates in
colorleSs way the details of the battle
but it does not give to Commodore Schley
the need of recognition to which he is en-
titled. But the latter's fame is secure.
The American nation understands the
facts, and Sampson cannot overcome
them by his petty endeavors.
Houston Post: Comodore Schley does
not get the credit on the record for de-
stroying Cervera's fleet. but the nation.
with almost one voice, is crediting him
with that great Victory and rebuking
SIMPSONS narrow oficialism.
Mail and Express: The claim of Adj
miral Sampson to be a party signatory of
the Santiago articles of capituation was
as untenable as his claim for the ships in
Santiago harbor turned over to General
Shafter. The signature of the general
himself is not appended to the articles
which are signed only by the commission
ers appointed on either side to agree upon
the conditions.
Baltimore Sun: All agree in the conclu-
sion that the Maryland fighter deserves
promotion, and that that promotion
n q cnrn ,fn1,
for time at least, supersedes Schley al
ready commodore and a tried and
proven officer, by Sampson also a gal
liant officer, several grades his Junior.
but possessing what is colloquially known
as a pull
Philadelphia Enquirer: Commodore
Schley has Worthily wen his honors. And
if Dewey is to be made the admiral
Schley has hravely won the right to the /
rank of vice admiral. Farragut and Por- /
ter, our first admiral and vice admiral, |
could rot have done better than Dewey /
and Schiey have done. Schley, a commo- |
dore, saw captain, his junior Officer put /
over MIN and made an acting admiral, |
and yet Schley sank the Spanish fleet and /
received the surrender of the Spanish ad- /
miral.
New York Herald: Commodore Schley
has earned his promotion valorously. and /
without seeking TO disparage Acting Rear
adinlrai sampson. We must admit that so
Tar as the supreme honOrs of the naval
operations off Santiago have fallen to the
officer, the nation ought to
recognize this.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.


Omaha Bee: The visit of Vice President
Hobart TO the Thousand Islands in the
st. Lawrence river is causing some ner-
yousness in Canada Now that Uncle
sam has acquired a taste for islands it is
feared the chance to get a thousand on
one string might prove a temptation for
the vice president to compete with the
president in the island swallowing game.
New York Journal: The Cubans are
not like ourselves Why should anybody
expect them to be? They are of differ
ent race and have lived under wholly diff
terent conditions. While we have been
Tree, enjoying the blessings OF republican
government. they have suffered under the
tyranny of Spain-a tyranny so cruel and
so odious that words can convey no ade-
quate conception of it's thievishness and
its brutality. Because they are poor be-
cause they are as ragged as were Wash
lngton continentals: because they hate
the SpaniardS and pro-Spanish Cubans as
heartily as our Revolutionary forefatherS
hated the English and the American To-
ries; because many of them are as Hit
crate as they are brave; because they are
not familiar with our. political modes of
thought, certain newspapers published in
this country cry out that the Cubans are
not fit for f-government-that they
must not be trusted with freedom lest
they abuse 1t.
Louisville Courier-Journal: There are
Democrats and Popuists in favor of ter
ritorial expansion, and Republicans who
are opposed to 1t. Then there are men in
both parties who are in favor of taking
Cuba and Porto Rico. but who draw the
line at the Philippines. But this is
merely the surface of the subject. The
great mass of the voting population of the
country have probably not made up their
minds as to whether we should take and
keep the Philippines or not. Whichever
course the administration may follow on
this question the people will pass on its
action at the fall elections.
