A Moral Gain.

The talk of some of the de~magogues,
especially about campaign time, always
tends to create the impression that the
poorer section of the population has a
monopoly of the patriotism of the u
try. So here, at once. we have one of
the uses of a war. plain TO be seen. We
find that the rich man is as patriotic as
his ls~1eighbor. He is willing to give not
only his life but his wealth for his u
Try.
Some of the things which have already
happened in the present crisis hould
have a permanent influence for good. We
have had rich men presenting their fine
pleasure yachts to the Government. We
have had Mr.. Starin offering free trans
portation for 1900 troops for the defence
of New York. Friday night witnessed a
splendid outburst of boyish but lone the
less real patriotic sentiment among the
young men of Princeton College.
All these things should tend to increase
the brotherhood between citizens of diff
ferent strata. They should teach the
poor that the rich are just as earnestly
devoted to the institutions of the country
and just. as ready to make sacrifices as
themselves. They should teach the rich
that they are on a level with the poor
in their duties and responsibilities to the
Government.

Allan l.. McDermott put the kibosh on
the operations of the Gledhill Commits
tee. The organs are all cracked over it.
In their blind rage, each one of them is
more amusing than the other.
The Tribune, on Saturday, put its
foot in it" in a sad way. 1t had only a
short paragraph. but it will take a lot of
explaining to get it out of the trouble
that these few lines made. Here they
are:-
Allan L. McDermott says that the Gled-
hill Investigating Committee died with
the Legislature. One great trouble with
Allan is that of knowing things that are
not SO. Once upon Il time he declared
that the, Senator's We're a majority OF
twenty-one. and not long before that he
was willing to stake his reputation that
the anti-gambling agitation in New Jer-
sey, then at its height. would be forgot
ten in six months.
This was. Of course. Intended to make
Mr.. McDermott gnash his teeth in
anguish. 1t is sad, however, that the
bright paragraphist did not read Cover
nor voorhees, opinion before he commit
ted his scintilIations to paper. He would
have escaped figuring before the public
In a somewhat ridiculous light.

News which is so truly good that the

Comstock confronted with the naked

put into plain English, this means that
Mr.. McDermott Is indubitably right. The

wsnces from the called Jade.

But what are these walls and wriggles
in comparison with the agonies of Colonel
Phelps Of H~aekensack's CALLED jade. The
Evening Journal" in the impotence of
it's own party, and rends Governor Fos-
ter NJ. voorhees, as the principal crimi-
nal. instead of the unutterable McDer-
mott.
We publish its serio-comic saueal in
full in another place. It is rich reading
as a display of stupidity and Ignorance
as well as of terror and malice. The
rogue who wrote it a not wit enough
to see what a deadly position he put his
party in when HI declared that Mr.. Nc
Dermott's point was well and generally
known. This is tantamount to an ac-
cusation that Gledhill. McCarter & Coz
deliberately attempted to proceed with
the investigation to issue subpoenas,
to administer oaths and to browbeat and
bulldoze citizens. although they knew
that they had no color of law or right
for doing So
This is a charge that we should hesitate
to make against these gentlemen. We
hold them guilty of partisan excuses in
deed: but we would not like to accuse
them of positive c%riminality; VIZ would
not venture to say they were bold and
daring traitors to the Constitution.
The Journals ignorance is shown in
the allegation tina 1.-THE ten thousand laws
of New Jersey are destitute of this really
useful measures sort of legal thumb
screw by which witnesses may be coerced
by scavenger committees There is such
a statute in New Jersey. The Plunder is,
of course, due to carpet-bag editing. But
the,statute only applies when the commit
tee is legally constituted. The Gledhill
machine could not use it, because the
Gledhill machine went out of existence
when the Assembly adjourned sine die.
The Journal is, of course too stupid to
see this point but the public in general
understand i.
But the really joyous thing is the way
the yellow sheet pushes the responsibility
of New Jersey politics. It is not over
clear as to where his responsibility comes
in. So far as we can see, it says that
somebody else says that Gledhill said that
he said it was all right-antecedent of
s'it'' not very clear-and, of course, if
somebody says that Gledhill said that he
said so. it is a very grave fact, unless
he should say, in the future, that if any,
body said Gledhill said he said it, that
person said what he never said. In all
the confusion of ..sayses'' and 4saids'
there is at least the basis of a very pretty
Republican quarrel, if anybody thinks a
journal accusation worth quarrelling
about. For. as the "sayses'' n "saids'
at the present time they either
Governor Voorhees, a double-dealer
or Chairman Gledhill a BANKED e%quivoca-
tor, or the Journal itself a plain, com
mon, ordinary liar, and, out of the three
pronged predicament, there surely ought
to be some very refreshing material for
mere Democrats.
It is said that Governor Voorhees, will
be the Republican candidate for Governor
next fall. If he is, we expect to have a
pleasant time of it reprinting Journal
editorials on his good faith.

home in this city from Santiago de Cuba,

Concerning the yellow fever which
has attacked the troops DIR. Guiteras
said:
yellow fever cases thus FAR have
been Of n light order and the mortality
among the troops has not been heavy
The most serious sources OF trouble az
present is from typhoid fever and ma

SAGASTA is DOING
THE BEST HE CAN.
He Has All Political Factions and the

10 Give a Final Answer 20
This Government.

Washington, Aug G.-More than two
days have passed without word OIL.
cially from Spain either in the way of
inquiry or Response. From this II is
clear that the Spanish cabinet fully re-.
allies the time for argument, counter
proposals or notifications, has gone by
and that there is only one simple issue
to be met, namely, whether the Amcri.
can terms will be accepted as a whole or
rejected. There is indeed reason to BE-.
lieve that the Spanish government has
been directly advised that the stage Of
negotiations is passed and that only the
matter OF an answer, favorable or unfa-
vorable, remains
That the answer has not come quickly
is no matter Of surprise to the officials
here for they realize the tremendous ~.
sponsibility which Premier Sagasta must
assume in making these peace terms sui.
ficiently palatable to the Spanish people
and the political leaders 20 permitits nc.
ceptance without an internal convul.
sions. In his conference with the presi.
dent and SECRETARY Day tho French am.
bassador has brought out clearly the
great task before Sagasta. Il seems to
b. the general view here that II the pre-
mier and his ministry were untram-
melted an acceptance would come az
once, and that the preliminary peace ar
rangement would he now closed But
in preparing the Spanish public and
guarding against political agiiations
hereafter by public men Of other parties
the Madrid officials are taking time for
missionary work not only among them
selves but amoag all political and social
elements.
The best informed persons here fix
next Monday as the time when the
United States government is likely TO
receive SPANS fnal answer, but this is
simply oonjectuTal, for there Is not the
slightest means Of knowing the tenden.
cies at Madrid There is the same coni.
dent belief among officials that there
has been from the FIRST that SPANS an.
swer will be reluctant, but none the
less conclusive acceptance.
At the same time 10 was suggested in
some quarters that there was a possibili.
ty that the disclosures made at Santiago
concerning the serious condition Of our
troops, might be a straw at which the
Spaoish cabinet would grasp. This il
quite doubtful, however, as there is a
question whether the statement ever got
outside the borders Of the United States
owing 20 the strict censorship imposed.
Moreover, the evidence reaching the Of.
tioials here indicates that Spain Is weary
with the conflict and is convinced be-.
yond the slightest question Of the hope.
lessness Of further opposition.

Center, Tex, Aug. John White
was convicted here OF murder in the first
degree and given life term. He was
charged with killing young Theodore
Noble IN Sabine county on May 10 last
year and the case brought here on q
change Of venue. A great number Of
the friends and relatives Of deceased
were here and trouble was anticipated.
The defendant agreed the court might
quietly pass sentence on him while he
was in jail and the sheriff was ordered
to take him and make a run for Rusk
The run was made none too soon, for a
mob gathered and would have lynched
him had he been found.
