mentally shouting that the flag must
never be lowered where once it has
been raised are the victims of hyster-
Ical blindness rather than the cham
pions of an aggressive patriotism. Some
day they Will remember that they for
got that the flag which is to go up over
Havana will come down again, in ac-
cordance with a sacred pledge, as soon
as an independent government shall
have been established in Cuba.
The Omaha Bee, another administra-
ton paper. adds to what it has already
said upon the subject the following:
All the wisdom and all the patriot
ism are not en- the side OF. those who
would lead the nation away from its
traditional policy and into new fields
where there is infinite danger and
peril. There is no greater fallacy than
to assume that the advocates of ter
ritor,al acquisition are the only friends
of American progress. II that were so,
then this nation has been making a
mistake during the greater part of its
existence. If expansion of territory is
essential to our commercial advance
ment we have been following the wrong
policy since the foundation of the gov
ernment. Yet the proof is conclusive
that such is not the case. BY combining
ourselves within an area of natural
growth, absorbing from time to time
only contiguous territory, we have
grown with a rapidity that has been
the wonder of the world.
This passion for conquest which
short-sighted individuals imagined was
going to sweep this country like a tidal
wave, is on the wane already. The
lust of power will be conquered by
the will of a virtuous republic, by the
judgment of an honest, intelligent,
faith-keeping, peace-loving people.

PRESS THE WAR.

SPANS sea power has been COM
pletely destroyed. and with it's de-
struction Will go most of her colonies.
Had she any wise men around the
throne they would say that the time
for asking for terms of peace had come,
but there are none such around the
throne. The fall of Santiago, which
may be expected shortly, either by as
sault or voluntary surrender, should
greatly hasten the day when peace ne
gotiations will be opened, but that
event may only make the Spaniards
more determined to continue a hope
less war. So far as the United States
are concerned, the war should be prose-
cuted with vigor that has been lack
ing in the past, with a vigor that will
not merely astonish Spain, but that
will overwhelm her. This country can
do this, and should. If the Spanish
insist on being physically crushed,
they will be crushed quicker this way
than any other, while if they are
amenable to reason this course will
bring them to their senses quicker than
any other. 1t is true that Commodore
Watson has been ordered to proceed
to Spain without delay. The squadron
he will take should be greatly in
creased in size. And with him he
should carry instructions to begin
bombarding Spanish towns so soon as
he arrives; this, of course, after he has
called at Gibraltar or some other Med
iterranean port to see if there are any
instructions. The fleet that goes to
Spain should go for business, and not
for pleasure, and so soon as it arrives
it should proceed to business.

course, the people will be forearmed.
Professor Totten, being a West Point
graduate, he is a very proper person
to forewarn the people, that they may
forearm themselves.

Americans dearly if they choose, but
the cost to them viii be still greater.

can say. 1t is to be hoped that, for

Fresh From the Front.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: General Blanco
looked intently at the sheet of paper be-
fore him.

trusted aide stepped forward.

voice was full of emotion. these cussed
Yankees are carrying he-thing altogether
too far. ] have sho.n that they grossly
violated the international code by bonn
harding Spanish forts without giving due

recital of their latest violation of military

Yes, general" said the aide 'but to
what particular brutality do you refer?'
'Herei" cried the general, as he
thumped the dispatch on the table. Here
is Cervera'S latest message from San
