The Maine at Havana.

The President has put an end to tho
timid and unnatural policy which, started
under his predecessors Administration, has
kept our warships away from Cuban ports
for more than two years.
In breaking through this hampering IL
not p%erilous restriction, he chooses for his
first naval visitor at Havana, not q small
gunboat like the Vicksburg or a cruiser
like the Detroit, but a battleship whose
armor and uns mean fighting power.
Thus he ~signalizes impressively the new de-
parture in our policy; and while the compli-
mentary salute from the Names battery
has been answered in the same spirit from
MORO Castle, the meaning Of the move will
not escape the Spanish authorities.
The Presidents ground that this errand
Of the Maine IS peaceful and amicable Is
perfectly sound. Why should not our ves-
sells be free to go in n out at Havana.
like the vessels of Great Britain and Ger
many7 Have we less interest han other
countries in Gulf waters, or in the for
tunes Of the island that lies so close to
our shores7 Being at peace with Spain, we
are entitled to have our warships call at
Havana as readily as at Barcelona. 1t is
said that Minister DE LONE, in declaring
that Spain could not protest against such
calls, yet suggested that the appearance of
our sailors on the streets of Havana might
perhaps lead to an ARRAY like the one in
Valparaiso. In such q case we should treat
Spain as we treated Chill, securing full
reparation for the outrage; but the de-
spatches intimate that shore leaves for
the men are not likely to be granted.
Wherever an American warship goes, pro-
lection goes with her for American citizens,
American interests, and the flag. The last
Administration affronted the patriotism
of the navy when it denounced the &C.
tion of the Boston during the revolution
in Hawaii; when it withheld our war
vessels from their occasional visits to
Samoa, although British and German yes.
sells were doing their duty there under
the Berlin agreement; and when 1t stopped
the cruises of our North Atlantic squadron
in Gulf waters lest Spain should regard it
as a menace. Those days have passed. and
now our ships will go to and fro In the Gulf
according to their wont.
That the result will be o relief to Amer
lean anxieties there can be no doubtA II

lowed by other and aercer outbreaks Id

hand for the protection Of our citizens.

n these a~uxiliariee are to be useful and
not daneerous, u u essential that there
should be q continuous rivalry between
the British and The native soldiers; that
they should share h~srdships and dangers.
Nh. HopaKIN foresees that, should the day
come when Enalinhmen think that they
may sit at home It ease, leaving Asiatics
and Africans 10 do the fighting for them
and take all the hard knocks, they will
lose their worldwide empire.
Mr.. HoDoKIN thinks he can descry .
bright side, as we'll a. . dark eide, Of
the picture, and he tries to find some
ground Of and Of hope In
the English national character, In its
love Of fair play, and In its other distin-
gushing traits Of patience, truthfulness,
and courage. He recognizes, however, that
these traits may fade and disappear; that
the character of Q ~natfon, like that Of an in
dividual, may change, and that there are
many ~infiuences at work which may tend to
enervate and degrade Englishmen, to de-
stroy their love OF truth, and to poison the
fountains of their family life He points
out that every civilized race that comes
into contact with barbarism, and no race,
not even the Roman, has had moro OF such
contact than the English, is in danger
Of losing It's moral balance, owing
to the ease with which it can : push
the barbarian out of it's path. The
loss Of moral balance may be seen In
the frenzied s~elHshness which used
to mark the treatment Of the natives Of
India by too many Of the agents Of the
British East India Company, and which
even now seems to attack some English
men In their dealings with tho natives Of
South Africa.
Unless such corroding influences can
be successfully resisted, aud the fibre OF
the national character kept undissolved,
even MIR. HoDeKN, who is inclined
to optimistic conclusions, would admit that
the downfall of the British Empire nno
be long averted.

The man who does that will rank an n po-
iitical hero of the first class. He will de-
serve the nations gratitude, including the
gratitude Of every honest and worthy pen
sioner. to q degree to which no statesman,
financial expert, tariff sage or philosophical
reformer In the American Congress has at
tanned during the past ten years.
The reform of the pension system is COM
ing. 1t will come in the first instance
through specific remedial legislation rather
than by means of a direct attack upon the
annual appropriation bill. Nevertheless,
this is a proper time for the hero and the
patriot in the United States Senate to
speak up, right to the monsters face.

A Young Political PHILOSOPHERS.

Mr.. JOHN JAY CHAPMAN, q young gem
tleman Of New York, leads of the last
number of the Atlantic Monthly with q
harum-scarum paper, which he entities
"The Capture of the Government by Com
mercialism;" the Bryanites call the
"capturer" the money Power"
Mr.. CHAPMAN, who writes throughout
with a youthful cocksureness which feels
no need of support by precise and positive
facts. begins with the broad and terrible
generalization that "misgovernment In
the United States Is an incident in the
history Of commerce." Having thus as
sumed that there is "misgovernment,"
Mr.. CHAPMAN can assume Its cause not less
easily. "The growth and concentration
of capital" consequent on the Industrial
expansion following the civil war, the
young man goes on to say, "found the ma
chinery Of our Government In a particularly
purchasable state" due to the circumstance
that "the war had left the people divided
into two parties which were fanatically
hostile to each other" the people being
''party mad" and "party name and party
symbols of ian almost religious impor-
lance" Then, according to Mr.. CHAP
MANo Cochsufo bhcoryJ INC mana OF
trade" having seized the political power
condensed and packed flor delivery by the
war;" "the change of motive power behind
the party organizations, from principles to
money, was silently effected during the
thirty years which followed the war;"
MI. Chaplain, we believe, Is o somewhat
recent graduate of Harvard University, but
either he was not taught there the political
history of his country or he did not profit
by the lessons. He belongs to the genera
tion to which the civil war and the politi.
cal controversies leading to 1t, more es-
pecially the long anti-slavery agitation,
are not even a memory. He is a melancholy
example Of the political degeneracy which
sometimes crops out in that newer gen
