Maine incident afforded this Service"
special opportunity for the play of
imagination in news gathering. It also
afforded ample illustration Of its ac-
tons and reactions; it's affirmations
and denials. One instance illustrates
all. What caused the explosion is the
question in every mind. Only the in
vestigation of divers could determine
this. Capt. Sigsbee asked the navy de-
partment to send them. The alert agent
Of the special cable service" on the
spot rose to the occasion. This service
demands that its agents should be
equipped with every needed appliance
for finding nothing out. So this one
had it's own expert, a salaried diver in
Havana, as part of it's staff The agent
offered, so his Sunday message said,
the services of 'tthe Herald's diver to
Capt. Sigsbee. He did it "to aid in
the work of rescue" and he empha-
sizes his statement with the detail that
1t was "at the Hotel Inglaterra on
Thursday night" that he made the ten
der, "and it was at once accepted" On
Friday morning he went out to the
wreck with his diver, the latter equip
ped for submersion. He found Sigsbee
there and told him that the special
cable service" diver was ready for bust
ness. But the captain informed him that
complications" had arisen and he
could not let the diver dive just then,
but he would see him later, borrowing
the late Mr. Tildens favorite express
sion.
When the special cable services an
nouncement Of its enterprise reached
the navy department it's head cabled
Sigsbee to know what it meant. That
officer was apparently unaware that
the special cable services" diver had
been assigned to him. He replied:
No newspaper divers have been used on
the wreck of the Maine. One man engaged
by me was subsequently bought up by
newspaper 1 declined his services Sub
sequently on his being Internationally re-
leased, | might have used him in charge
U! an oHlcer IN recovering Dodles, Dut de-
cided not to DO so. Any interviews with
me, If printed, are untrue.
In a day or two, when it may think
the matter has passed from a slippery
public memory. the special cable serV-
ice" will crawl out of its demolished
divers apparatus, having, meantime,
worked its imagination vigorously in
other directions.

Lessons Of the Day.

A few days ago the patriotic cele-
brated the anniversary Of the birth Of
''the first American;" today they OBJ
serve the return of the natal day of
him who was first in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts of his
life and character Of Washington can
teach US which we need, in our public
and private life, to be taught? That
is the value we get from the lives of
those who have greatly lived. Foremost
we get the lesson of patriotism. The
turgid jfngoism, so prevalent today,
shows how sorely that quality is lack
ing. 1t is not the truculent braggadoclo,
the boaster and blusterer, who is the
patriot. It is he who makes sacrifice
Of self and its interests for the common
good who only can wear that proud
title. And Washington's life was re-
plete With fruits of this trait. He gave
his services freely, without recompense,
refusing compensation; he put his life
more than this no man can do.
With this self-sacrificing patriotism
went high ideals. Witness his speech
to the convention called, after victory,
to frame a Union and it's constitution,
made to those who had already begun
to dicker for advantages to their states.
cit is too probable that no plan we may
propose will be adopted. Perhaps an
other dreadful conflict is to be sus-
tanned. If, to please the people, we
offer them what we, ourselves, disap-
our work? Let US raise standard to
which the wise and honest can repair;
the event is in the hands Of God"
Who, reading the proceedings of con-
crosses and legislatures, contemplating
what they should do and what they
do, but feels that there is need today
of the teaching of this lesson of the
Father of His Country?
His life, public and private, teaches
Us the value Of the four cardinal
virtues Of heather philosophy; temper
ance, patience. courage and fortitude.
They enabled him to bear with COM
posture, during those long seven years.
the attacks of the envious, the plot things
of the jealous, the outnumbering
enemy, the hardships of command with
underfed, underclothed, UNDERMINED
men and an empty treasury; the petit
ness of governors who withheld SUD-
plies and troops, endangering the
cause: a composure that so idealizes
Washington in the common conception
that he seems to be animated marble
rather than a man of flesh and blood
The value of these qualities, needed IN
every life. however humble, this man
taught us. These are the lessons we
of this end of the century can learn
Of the man whose life ended near its
entrance.

The Situation Threatening.

With every day since the disaster to
the Maine the situation has grown
more threatening ard the possibility of
war between the United States and
Spain more imminent No criticism
can be passed upon the attitude of our
government or people. Both have dis
played a rare self-control under Cir
cumstances calculated to work national
passion into a frenzy. The mere sus-
picion that a great warship was blown
to pieces and the lives of so many gal
liant fellows were sacrificed to Spanish
hatred, while the Maine was under the
protection of a Spanish harbor and the
guarantee of the laws of nations, has
changed the attitude of noisy sympathy
with Cuba to a less demonstrative, but
grimmer determination to see that JUS
tiCe is done
AS time passes, the calm judgment
of the people settles more and more
on the probability that the wreck of
the Maine was a work Of deliberate in
tention. None the less will this be
difficult to prove, or to fasten upon
Spain as the responsible perpetrator.
The proper refusal of our government
to permit Spain to join with US in the
investigation will serve, as was doubt
less the intention when that demand
was made, to furnish Spain with a
preteXt for questioning the findings and
disclaiming all responsibility for the
catastrophe. 1t may be, indeed, that
the inquiry Will find that accident onlv
was behind this terrible loss. The
weight of probability. however, seems
to be wholly against it; and, if it shall
appear with any reasonable certainty
that the Maine was destroyed by hos
tile hands, even an acceptance Of the
situation at Madrid and the full pay
ment of all claims could scarcely re-
strain our people from taking a lust
revenge.
The 'peace-at-any-p price" party has
been reduced in numbers and brought
to silence by the events Of the last
week. There is a deep and desperate
feeling throughout the nation against
Spain, and it will take but word An
accident, the pointing of evidence to-
ward completely in the deadly work at
Havana, to precipitate the two nations
into actual war. For the first time
declaration of hostilities takes it's place
among the near possibilities, and the
next few days will be pregnant with
fateful events.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-02-22

mands about the same relative price
abroad as here; that the Australian
supply was greatly shortened by the
drouth that killed millions Of sheep,
are unseen and unnoted factors. But,
granting that the rise in wool and
on imports, the results Of which the
jubilant editor makes no mention are,
as with tin plate, the unseen things.
Farmer Sampson mentioned one Of
them without sensing its significance,
when he told how he paid the same
price for wooden underwear and blan-
kets whether he got or 18 cents a
pound for his wool. The price Of wool
may fall. but the thing made from
cheapening wool holds it's price. When
wool advances again, however, wool
ems take an upward turn. If a reluc-
tant market withhold its support, if
people who buy woolens grumble and
demand former prices, the manufac-
turer yields.
How he adjusts the problem of dear
er material to the cheaper wool price
the American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter explains: "The worsted manu-
faeturer solved the problem Of price
demand" it says, "by ingeniously mix
Ing cotton, wool and worsted, the clev-
er ones creating such effects as to
puzzle any but experts as to their
value at sight. There are fabrics in the
market containing 30 per cent Of
Worsted and the other so per cent of
cotton, which, when made up into a
suit Of clothes, will look no different
than garments made from pure worst
ed. There is not a worsted heavy
weight fabric offered worthy Of its
name under 50 a yard, which fabric is
about the same quality as was sold
for $3.50 last year. Even at that price
much profit, and indications are that
an advance will follow as quickly as
sufficient amount Of safety orders
have been booked" It says that, "as
far as wearing quality is concerned,
the consumer will not be the sufferer,
but, If wool contains a greater degree
Of warming quality than cotton, the
wearer Of such a suit-half worsted
and half cotton-may probably wonder
next winter why he feels a little cold
er than he did this year" Thus we
come back to the conditions when wool
was taxed by the Mckinley act; cheap
woolens that are half cotton or shod-
dy, and pure wooIens that are costly.
OF this, however, the jubilant editor
makes no mention.
