The Small.riinded View.

Speaker Reed is said to feel keenly
the slight put upon him by the Cum
berland county Republican convention
in Maine last week, and we'll he may.
This convention, representing his home
county, which for sixteen years he has
represented in congress with excep-
tional ability and fidelity, passed him
by without a word Of recognition be-
cause it did not approve his view of
the Hawaiian question.
The chances are that those who have
done this foolish thing will live to re-
gret it. 1t reflects no credit upon their
sense of gratitude or breadth of men,
tai horizon. Thomas b. Reed may not
be in accord with the sentiment of his
constituents on the Hawaiian matter.
and he may be too brave a man 10 nop
with the tide, but for all that he is the
biggest citizen that Maine has pro-
duced, and it will be a sorry day for
Maine and the country if the setting
up Of the law Of retaliation for differ
ences in opinion shall make it difficult
hereafter to keep such men as Mr.. Reed
in public life.
Now that the signs point to a prob
able recasting OF the issues md divis-
ions Of American politics, can we not
have truce to the mean spirit which

Aguiraldo's plan.

While several hundred American
editors in their stuffy sanctums have
been perspiring profusely during the
past month in a frantic endeavor
to work out a satisfactory theoretical
destiny for the Philippine islands, the
energetic Tagale gentleman whom the
Spanish value dead or alive at 5000
seems TO have attended to this little
detail quite happily without outside as
sistance.
General Aguinaldo. we gather from
certain remarks of his, wants the in
habitants of the Philippine islands to
have a voice in the management of
their own affairs. He suggests that
before they are put up at auction be-
fore the highest bidder or handed back
on a silver platter to Spain they be
given the opportunity to say a few
words concerning their individual
ideas on this subject. He is willing
to consent to an American protecto-
rate; in fact, he wants one. He is
ready to Join with the American SOL
dicrs and sailors in campaign not

put in lieu of him a government of
order, justice and civilization under
the American republics wing, but he
evidently doesn't think it is quite the
suitable thing for the power which
went into this war in order that
another island should be free to pack
up the destiny of the Philippines like
q bundle of merchandise and appropri-
ate or sell it without so much as a
"by your leave"
The implied rebuke is as deserved as
it is timely. The American people
need only to be recalled to themselves
to realize fully and clearly the essen
tial unworthiness and humiliation of
the proposition that at this late day
they should abandon their high tradi-
tions of human liberty to traffic in the
rights of a foreign race. If to give
good government to the Philippines we
shall have to exert a paternal con-
troll over them we will do it, as an act
OF duty from which there is no honor
able escape; but when the public con-
science sees things right side up there
will be n speedy end to this disgrace

OUR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Certain writers wholly incompetent TO
render judgment on the condition of
troops or to express any opinion on the
details of military administration deserv-
ing of respect, have attracted attention
to themselves by Crilcsng saVagely
our military camps at the south. They
have represented them as shamefully de-
ticient in supplies essential to the health
of the soldiers, and their administration
as disgraceful to the military authorities
Complaints of unappetiZing or insufii-
Cient fare and undue severity of diSCip-
line have ccme from Il few of the SOL
diers themselves; but they are only nat
ural and inevitable expressions of dis
taste and discomfort from men not yet
Injured to the hardships of military SER
vice in the field. Even where there has
been any justification for them, it has
been due to the unavoidable delays and
complications Incident to the rapid mo-
bilizatiOn of unframed troops, and 1t has
been remedied as speedily as possible.
o
The first test of the value of all such
reports and criticisms is furnished, of
course by the sanitary condition of these
troops, as indicated accurately in the pre-
vailing ratio of sickness among them.
General Miles, who has just returned to
Washington from careful inspection Of
these camps, reports that the health of
the troops is exceptionally good. At
Tampa, where the conditions have been
assailed especially and most unfavorably
by the lay critics, he found that the sick
list was less than ! per cent, a suTpris-
ingly low record; and this most crafty
ing indication as TO health appeared
among both the troops who embarked for
Santiago with General Shafter and those
still remaining on shore in the camp. This
experience is far more encouraging than
that through which both sides to the
civil war were compelled to pass at its
beginning; and no incident of the present
conflict, apart from it's uninterrupted sue
cession of victorious progress, has afford
ed reason for so much national rejoicing
as this remarkable, even astonishing, ex-
emption Of our forces from the suffering
usually affecting military camps suddenly
filled with collections of unframed and
unhardened volunteers and militia not
yet Injured to campaigning OF course
such an exceptionally high standard of
health could not prevail in them if there
was any justification for the animadver-
sions on our military administration
which have been made so loudly by igno-
rant, inconsiderate sensational and sedi-
tious newspaper writers.
II is also exceedingly gratifying 10
know that the standard of health pre-
Nailing among the crews of the navy is
equally high, though the most of them
are compelled to endure tropical heat un-
der peculiarly trying circumstances. 1t Is
relieving war of one of the most dis
tressing incidents usual to II; and, more
over, thus protected from the disability
and debllitating disease, beth our sail

An ImperatiYe Duty.

In the report that the administra-
tion is about to redeem the principal
promise upon which ii went to war by
sending under military escort to Gomez
and his iieutenants relief supplies for
the starving recOnCentradOs in Cuba
We see nothing improbable. True it
would present to the world an anOma-
lOus spectacle in warfare. There is no
record in international strife of a
belligerent power carrying death in
one hand and succor in the other. But
in just this one respect ought the pres
ent to be an unique conflict. Stultif-
cation Of the American position and
humiliation Of the American conscience
must ensue if effort he not made to do
this very thing without avoidable de-
lay.
OF the objections which are raised
none dare be considered effective until
experience has proved that it is sound.
We owe it to the starving Cubans, we
owe it far moro to our own good name
and TO the humanity that is in us to
90 all within our power to bring relief
to those whom the cXigcncies Of war
are booming to extinction by the hor-
rible processes of starvation. Our war
with Spain can never be justified in
history if through our inactivity after
war has been declared We shall per-
init the chief subject matter of the
conflict to waste away. The rainy sea-
son, the scarcity of transports and the
sloWnoss with which troops can he
equipped, drilled and acclimated may
compel postponemont of the general
military invasion until fall; if so, on the
military side little harm is done. sum-
mer or winter, Spain's doom is sealed.
But no excuse can excuse the With
holding from those who linger in the
last stages Of starvation Of the scant
aid required to keep their bodies and
souls together until Cuba shall see the
dawn Of brighter day. Trial may
show that we cannot now save all of
these; events beyond our control may
cause sacrifices which We can lament
but not avert. Yet our garments will
be guiIt-stained and our professions Of
philanthropy scoffed by recorded facts
unless we do promptly all that lies
within our ability to do toward the
demonstration before the world and the
eye of history that, whatever else may
come in it's wako, ours is primarily a
warfare for humanity.

M.Ribot has informed President Faure
that he is unable to form a cabinet to
succeed the Mcline ministry and NJ.
Rudini. the Italian premier, has re-
signed. We need scarcely refer to
Spain. The Latin Union is an object
OF profound interest to the political stu
dent just now. 1t is nothing more, per-
haps than a mere coincidence, but it is
significant, that France and italy are
actually without executive government
and that Spain is practically in the
throcs Of a dynastic revolution.

ors and our troops are in prime physical
condition for the even more arduous la
bors the progress of the war will now
impose on them. As General Miles says
Of the troops who left Tampa for San
tiago, 1.-The spirit OF the men is OF the
best; they are eager to get at the en-
emy. Never in history was there a bet
ter army and a better navy morally;
and, after some unavoidable delays,
never were troops better equipped for
fighting under our flag.

An evening contemporary deplOres
the contraction of subsidiary coinage
in domestic currency. 1t advocates, of
course, the usual Populist panacea,
more coinage. AS a matter Of fact
there is a redundancy of subsidiary
coin al the mint, the treasury and the
sub-treasuries of the United States.
As is well known, it is difficult to keep
subsidiary coinage automatically in
circulation. 1t is liable to great fluc-
tuation locally from temporary causes.
A circus coming to town, for instance,
will deplete the household eXchequer
of it's subsidiary coinage. The circus
proprietor takes his receipts to his
banker in a town perhaps a thousand
miles away and there it is credited to
his account; the banker in turn hands
it on to the treasury, where il lies
until called for. AS subsidiary coinage
is out of all proportion in bulk to
its value, nobody likes to keep more
of it than can barely accommodate
his personal or business requirements.
Any superfluity of it in the Golfers OF
a merchant or shopkeeper is immedi-
ately handed over to the bank, and is
exchanged for bills or checks Local
banks will supply any amount Of it
that is required by manufacturer or
merchant. There is no earthly reason
why all the subsidiary coinage the peo-
pie want should not be coined. But
the amount must be carefully adjusted
to the demand or it will lie where it
was milled.
