public questions. While driving
through the Smithsonian park this
morning, the cabinet officer said: ~
have had my own opinion of Sampson,
as all citizens have had. But | have
recently come into possession of ofli-
cial Information which | cannot dis
close in detail; but ii il sufficient TO
convince me that Admiral Sampson de-
serves greater consideration than the
people have been disposed TO give him.
"In the first place, every reader will
concede that Sampson has made no
mistakes. That is strong point in
favor of any man who has the re-
sponsibility of command on land or
sea. But even that does not make a
hero. Nevertheless, you will agree
with me that you cannot point TO any
mistake made by Sampson, either as
the chief of the board OF inquiry into
the Maine disaster or as commander
of the fleet. Inasmuch as this naval
commander has made no mistake,
there is nc reason why be should be
censured. That much every reasona-
BILE man will acknowledge. Therefore,
Admiral Sampson should not be looked
upon with disdain.
I'm the next place, Admiral Samp-
son has been successful in the dispo-
sition of his vessels. He has been sue
cessfIl in looking after the health OF
the men of his feet. while patiently
watching the enemy by day and by
night. 1t is wise commander who
can have always in mind the health
and corlfort of the men for whose lives
he is in every sense responsible. Thus
we reach point where Admiral Samp
son deserves commendation.
Now, after weeks of faithful serv'
ice, bottling up Ceryera's fleet, await

demand for "w,de open" commercial
China, his majesty Nicholas H., car
of all the Russias surprised the world
by issuing manifesto proposing

due in great parh TO the system of
armaments Poutrance, and the con-
tinual danger which lies in this mass
ing of war material, are Transforming
the armed peace of our days into a
crushing burden which the people have
more and more difficulty in bearing.
To put an end to these incessant arma-
ments and to seek means of warding
off calamities tina; are threatening the
world is a supreme duty which to-day
is imposed on all slates.' To bring this
state of affairs 10 an end his majesty
proposes an international conference,

peace triumph over the elements of
trouble and discord. 1t would at the
same time cement an agreeme MT by a
corporate conservation of the princi-
pies of equity and right, on which rest
the security of states and the welfare
of the people"
On top of such powerful peace ar
gument an "ultimatum," no matter
how cleverly worded, would seem sac
rilegious almost; and no matter what
may have been the motives of the car
in issuing his peace manifesto ii has
placed England at a disadvantage.
That Nicholas is right in his argu-
ments cannot be disputed. Europe is
grooming under taxation for military
and naval purposes. It's best blood is
in the armies, and instead of produc.
ing wealth is impoverishing the work.

sia means to be honest, however, in
its peace policy it can make an ad-
vance move on its own responsibility,

armies proves by its own figures:

tions of the World to Foster Peace)
are far better than were our blunt an
cestors. But our pride rests on
foundation of sand, ethically speaking.
The men of to-day are just as greedy
as their ancestors, and whenever they
see an opportunity to despoil a less
powerful nation of lands and chattels
they make the most of it. That was
considered Civilization" four centuries
ago, and it is called by the same name
to-day. The mighty country always
considers itself "civilizing power"
and regards the subsection of weaker
peoples a good work. Hypocrisy is
the mother of diplomacy, and the sword
is the weapon of diplomacy. Nations
are like individuals. When they are
about to perform an especially mean
act they persuade themselves that it
is for the benefit of the poor fellows
who are to be robbed aud that they
are the instruments chosen by an in
scrutable Providence to carry out its
will.
Look at poor China--as harmless a
nation as ever existed. Like vultures,
the fleets of Great Britain, France, Ger
many and Russia are to-day lowering
about her coasts, grabbing port here
and a fertile province therein the
name of civilization. and for the bene-
fit of horde of traders living thou
sands of leagues away. Could these
birds of prey but agree upon division
among themselves, the Chinese empire
\ 4 l..
each wants more than the other is will
ing to grant, and therein lies the dam
ger to the peace of the world, and the
temporary salvation of the Mongolian
empire.
Russia is perhaps the least hypo-
critical of the four powers which are
seeking to absorb China. She makes no
humanitarian pretenses, and has not
made them. She grabbed Port Arthur
and the great Manchurian provinces
because, to use a slang phrase, she
"needed them in her business" She
had to have an outlet for her trans
Siberian raii~oa1, and a Chinese port
for her Asiatic feet. Asking the con-
sent of the "Iur3pean concert" to OBJ
tain them would have been futile, as
well as childish. So she just took them,
and incidentally extended the sphere
OF Russian influence from the borders
of Siberia to the Chinese sea and became
mistress of 3O,00O,O0o thrifty and COM
paratively intelligent people.
Had Count Mouravseff, the czar's
minister fer foreign affairs who con-
Quoted the negotiations ending with
the virtual cession of Manchuria,
stopped there, Great Britain would
have swallowed the bitter pill with
out fiinching; but when he insinusted
that the newly-acquired territory
should be placed under Russian con-
troll in the matter of tariffs and trade
Lord Salisbury protested most vigor-

System of Naval Promotion)
would have won equal honors if like
opportunity had been afforded them.
Our naval regulations clearly need re-
vision, and some equitable method Of
comforting honors upon naval officers
should be adopted that would give
justice to the heroic without injustice
TO others.
The advancement of Admiral Samp-
son eight numbers causes criticism.
The commander of the feet which sue
cessfully blockaded Santiago barbor
has been in Washington recently, and
he has at no time received such atten-
tions as our people are accustomed
TO shower upon their heroes. The
sentiment prevails that Sampson is
not a real hero. When Lieut.. Hobson
arrived in Washington he received
more enthusiastic attention at the de-
pot than Admiral Sampson received
during his entire stay in this city.
Politicians and newspaper men are
usually careful of their expressions,
and they are accustomed to take only
the popular side of public questions.
But there are exceptions in all cases,
and here is one in point.
The correspondent of this paper is
inclined to be conservative, and to
take no stand which might excite an
tagonisms. But in the case of Admiral
Sampson the writer ventures to ex-
press an opinion in favor of the unpop-
ular naval commander. There is a
reason for this. as the reader will see.
One Of the members of the cabinet
is an old friend Of the writer, and con-
verses with him freely, we'll knowing
that his name will never be quoted on

Holmes to seek for motive in the
czar's peaceful manifesto. The first
adverse suggestion is: "Why did he
delay its promulgation until after
Russian troops had invested and occu-
pied the only portion of the Chinese
empire which Russia can assimilate
rapidly and without troubls ?" The
second: why did he delay until after
England was ready to call his govern
ment to account for its aggressive and
selfish policy in the orient?" There
may be satisfactory answers to both
of these questions, but they are not
easily called to mind.
Evidently England does not mean
to be caught mapping while Russia
talks peace. Quietly but systematical-
ly her navy in Chinese waters is be-
ing strengthened, and Vice Admiral
Seymour, commander in chief of the
British feet there, has been instructed
to keep a watchful eye on Russian
ships and Russian emissaries.
Germany and France, too, are on
the alert, and while diplomats talk
peace and civilization, the engines of
destruction are heing prepared for
what may be, for all we know, the
greatest conflict of the ages.

came necessary for Admiral Sampson
to leave his fleet and go to see Gen.
Shafter, the army commander who
was prostrated with fever. Under the
circumstances he restated his orders
that, if the Spanish Sect should under
take to escape, the American feet
should close in and attack the enemy.
Having thus performed his duty, Ad-
miral Sampson sailed away to meet
the commander of the land forces.
Thus every duty was faithfully per-
formt by him. There is absolutely
no ground for criticism of this naval
commander. During his absence on
this important and patriotic duty, in
the interest of his country, the Span
ish feet unexpectedly came out of the
harbor and tried to escape. Instantly,
in obedience to SIMPSONS orders, the
cruisers and battleships closed in on
the enemy and vigorously attacked
him. The entire Spanish fleet was de-
stroyed, by the vessels of SIMPSONS
squadron, under his orders.
But, just as Sheridan was 20 miles
away when the battle of Cedar Creek
began, and just as Sheridan went gal
Looping to the sound of cannon, Admiral
Sampson hastened to rejoin his com
mand, and arrived in time to witness
the complete triumph of his feet,
which acted under his carefully de-
tailed orders. He was not in the ac-
tual fighting and has made no claim
90 lnt 10 Il t,,t
the fight, solely because his orders
were so well obeyed that the work was
well done by the vessels under his
command. That very fact reflects
credit upon his plans and discipline.
"Now, because Sampson was not an
actual participant in the fight which
resulted successfully, in accordance
with his plans, and in obedience to
his orders, | do not believe that the
people will ever be inclined to look
upon him as a hero. But the American
people are lovers of fair play, and they
will do justice by him. He has been
faithful naval officer for many years.
He was the successful commander OF
the naval campaign which resulted in
the destruction of the Spanish fleet;
and that campaign was largely in
strumental in the dethronement of
Spain in Cuba. Let us do justice to
this faithful officer. He is entitled to
the advancement in rank which the
administration has given him. He does
not claim to be a hero. He asks only
Justice; and that he must have. If
it had been his good fortune to be pres
ent on the occasion of the attempted
escape of the Spanish feet the people
would make a hero of him."
All of this is true. We can afford
TO give honor to whom honor is due.
We cannot afford to allow our i'm
pulses to run away with our good judg-
ment, and thereby do injustice TO any
man who has served his country faith.

ously and the tory press of England

Harold Frederic type, who, by the
way know as much about Eu-

Victoria with war resolution in one

PERMISSION to send an ulti-

well-informed Frederic leads us to be-

well known resolution that England
should engage il no European war
