YalOr Rewarded and Encouraged.

In three messages sent to Congress
by President Mckinley yesterday two
officers of the navy and Two of the
revenue-cutter service were commend
ed for gallant conduct, the thanks of
Congress for their valor were request
ed and rewards suggested.
In the case of Assistant Naval Con-
structor Hobson the President recon-
mends that he receive the thanks of
Congress and be transferred to the
line, leaving the exact degree of his
further neutrality-suspicious. be de-
termined later. This course will meet
with popular approval, for the country
will be gratified to have an officer of
Hobson's qualities in that arm of the
naval service where his signally dem
onstrated coolness, courage and eXecu-
tive capacity can be utilized in fight
ing ships rather than in building them.
For First Lieutenant comb, of
the revenue-cutteIr service, the brave
fficer who took the fragile Hudson to
where the disabled Winslow was the
riddled target of the batteries and gun
boat in Cardenas Boy, rescuing the
Winslow at the moment of Bagley's
death, the President asks the thanks of
Congress, and recommends that med
ais for him, his Ulcers and crew be
struck.
Honorable retirement on full pay is
asked for Capt. Hodgsdon, of the Nc
Culloch, who had seen thirty-seven
years. service in the revenue-cutter
service before the battle of Manila,
and advancement of two numbers is
asked for Cadet Powell, who command
ed the steam launch which searched
for Hobson and his men where the
shells of the enemy kept boiling the
waters of Santiago HarbOr.
These are rewards all CALAMITY earn

Political Notes.

The Kansas Populists mean to try
everything in the way of platforms,
hoping to find something some tine
that will suit. They are seekers of po-
litical novelty and adventure. But
their State is 80 hopelestly prosperous
that there is no chance for them.
FROM the biographical sketch, pre-
sumatly furnished by the Hon. Alex
ander Stephens Clay, Senator in Con-
gress from Georgia, to the Congression-
al Directory, we learn that this eminent
public character "was born Sept. 20,
-, on farm in Cobb county"
Small wonder if he doesn't know what
year he was born in his speech against
the annexation of Hawaii shows that
he doesn't know what year he is living
in.
BARCELONA is riotous and violent in
its demand for peace. Being sea-
coast town, open to bombardment any
day, it does not encourage all the per-
vading Spanish illusions about the
Yankees. 1t may deem them pigs, but
knows that they can shoot straight,
and admits it. Barcelona would con-
clude treaty of peace tomorrow if it
were possible, giving up everything
except it's own wharves and ware
houses.
BAILEY opposes the annexation of
Hawaii as theoretically as some of his
legislative predecessors opposed the
annexation of Texas. He says the
islands are not fit to become American
territory. The same thing was said
about the State which he represents,
but time has given it disproof. In a
single half-century under the flag it has
produced Bailey, an attestation OF its
fitness to be member of the common
wet lth which only the chump and the
Peotian would deny. Who knows but
Hawaii may some time turn out a
statesman of equal magnitude, in shape
and gesture proudly eminent, and al
ways on the wrong side.
JUDGE RIGHTMIRE, Populiet candi.
date for Chief Justice of Kansas in
1890, thus describes the changes of
men and measures among the Sum-
flower Populists in the last eight years ::
"Of all the nominees on the Populist
State ticket in 1890, not one is support
ing the Populist candidates of to-day.
OF all the .Populist State candidates to-
day, only two voted for the Populist
ticket in 1890. Some of the Populist
ticket of to-day never voted for Pop
ulist until they went upon the ticket
two years ago as consequence of an
unholy alliance with democracy. There
is not in the Populist platform of to-
day plank that may be found in the
Populist platforms of the first eight
years, with the single exception of the
free coinage of silver. in which no
Populist really believes"

Feminine Naval Raids.

American man-o'war's men of the
wardroom as we'll as OF the foc's'le like
to entertain their young women friends
aboard ship on the home stations. Ii
they happen to be "sft" girls, the
temporary guests and prizes of the
wardroom officers, that are generally
pressed to remain aboard for bit OF
luncheon. A good many young women
balk at this proposition, not that they
see the slightest improperly in it, but
because it is really an ordeal even for
very bright girls, this luncheon aboard
an American man-of-war. American
girls who have done their bit of ship
visiting unite in saying that they wish
American naval officers hadn't fallen
into the strange habit Of considering
their countrywOmen as brilliant angels
right down from heaven; that they
have to be on their mettle every in
slant to keep from falling from the
standard.
One woman who passed the ordeal
successfully was the late Kate Field.
Miss Field, up to within few weeks OF
her death in Honolulu, used to take
luncheon with the wardroom officers OF
the gunboat Bennington quite often
and the officers fell into the habit OF
looking forward to her visits. The
Bennington's captain would lunch with
the wardroom Ulcers when Miss Field
was at the table with them, and there
was any amount of fun on these &C.
casions. The spectacle Of the slight
little woman seated at table with fifteen
alert and listening men Of the sea, and
evoking uproars Of laughter and oc'
casional: waves Of strong feeling for two
or three hours at stretch was alwayt
interesting. She had perfect command
of herself, never strOve after effects
either OF humor or emotion, and knew
her world to coal. mine depth beneath
the surface. The naval officers were
very proud Of her. Another woman
whom American naval officers have
often entertained aboard ship is Sarah
Bernhard. They had right to ex'
pect cleverness from such type Of

A Great Senator.

Among the few Democratic politi.
clans who are able to take broad and
national view of questions of public
policy, the Hon. John Tyler Morgan
of Alabama stands pre-eminent. There
have been few acuter intellects in the
Senate, and his powers have been for
tilted by long study and experience.
As member of the committee on for
eign relations he has given particular
attention to the relations of the United
States with foreign countries, and his
knowledge OF international law and
diplomatic history and proceeding is
vast. But it is the honor and distinc-
ton of Mr.. Morgan to combine rare
acuteness and learning with burning
patriotism. Wherever American in
terests are threatened he comes to their
defence. Wherever American inter-
ests can be strengthened he tries to
have them strengthened.
There are plenty of men who cannot
look beyond their own noses. Mr..
Morgan habituslly has that large and
comprehensive idea of policy which
looks beyond the present and sees what
will be valuable or necessary to the
ODlLeu SldleS Vi lut luluTts Ab III uO-
mestic politics he has bottomless
scorn for the Mugwumps with their in
tolerable conceit, their petty prejudices
and their want of Amercanism, so he
is made indignant by the contracted
notions of those who seek to retard or
resist the growth and development of
Americanism abroad.
AS he defended the supremacy of the
United States on this continent by OPP
posing the encroachment of great Brit
ain upon Venezuela, 80 he defends the
power of the United States in the Pa
cifc by advocating the annexation of
Hawaii. He is consistent and unwa-
vering American. When 80 many
members of his own party are trying to
stink away from the inevitable results
of a war which they boast that they
were foremost in bringing about, Sem
ator Morgan pursues without deviation
the course of patriotic American
statesman, who seeks always to make
his country more powerful and respect
ed.
1t would be we'll for the Democratic
party if it had more Morgans and few
er Baileys and Blyans.-New York

Our National Growth and Future.

Since Washington's administration
the nations territory has been almost
quadrupled. Mr.. Jefferson signalized
bis administration hgy purchasing Louisi-
ana, thus doubling the territory Of the
country. Mr.. Monroe followed this
example in 1919 with the purchase of
Florida. Texas and the Mexican ces-
sion came with Polk, the Gadson pur-
chase under Pierce-and Alaska under
johnson.
1t is urged that this was all conti-
mental territory. But was it any less
''imperialism" than the acquisition of
the Philippines and other possessions
OF nation with which we are at wal ?
Certainly not.
The primary justification OF the war
was to unshackle and save oppressed
people under Spanish dominion in
Cuba. If the Philippines should be
voluntarily returned 10 Spain under any
consideration the nation would thereby
plead guilty to an act OF wilful aggres-
sion in the case of Cube. To sell the
islands would be to precipitate vexa-
tious complications between the ven
dee and Europe, which America could
not escape. To hold the islands, Civ
ing the natives the widest possible iati.
tude OF local government, is the logical
course and the safest.-Galveston Daily

What Camara Has Done for Us.

The service that Admiral Camara
may have rendered Spain by heading
for the Philippines remains to be seen,
but for US he has already accomplished
three things of great value.
First, he has removed all fear of an
attack on our coast, and 80 has con-
ferred a twofold favor. Besides re-
lieving the anxieties of our noncom-
Blatant seaboard population, 30 making
the war henceforth less onerous for
them, he has allowed us to release
for operations in the Gulf ships hither-
to retained for coast defence. The
danger of Spanish attack, considering
the problem OF cosling and ammuni-
tion supplies, was always exaggerated
in popular fancy, but Secretary Long,
himself resident of the seaboard dis
tricts, appreciated the local anxiety,
and determined to run no risk of a
panic ON that ground. Now, with
SPANS only feet available for attack
turned to the other side of the globe,
there is no more worry among the ner-
vous, and some of our defence ships
and torpedo boats can be used else'
where.
Next, Camara has simplifed opera
tons in the Gulf and Caribbean sea for
as by allowing US TO plan our expedi.
tions in absolute security for Interrupt
ton by any feet coming westward
Our Porto Rico and Havana campaigns
need no longer think of harassing from
that source.
Finally, Camsra has opened TO oul

lying Canaries and Balearic Islands

1 Theory offered - to Harry
Thatcher's Disappearance.

The. police now believe tina; Harry
Thatcher. formerly bookkeeper for r. Sar-
tori 4 Co. who disappeared mystersously
while under the influence OF liquor. from
the side door of the Maison Tortoni res
taurant a week ago tonight, went TO Ju-
ueau, Alaska.
Detective Cudihee. who has been tnves-
tigating the case, has practically given
up any idea that he may have entertained
as 20 foul play, and thinks that Thatcher
took the City Of Topeka from the Ocean
dock last Wednesday.
Thatcher's name does not appear on the
passenger list. but C1itEhee has secured a
description OF a man who was seen 10
board the boat at the last moment The
description tallies exactly with that gwen
of Thatcher. II 10 supposed that the miss
Ing man took the boat not realizing what
he was doing.
He did not use liquor as rule, but on
the night that he disappeared he was
well Intoxicated. It Is expected that hs
will return when he comes TO himself and
realizes how worried his wife is. The po-
lce were not called into the case for the
purpose Of arres,ing him. His employers
smly desired to find him for his wifes
