In modern naval warfare courage alone

Not Hero Worship.

Several weeks ago the name of Fitzhugh
Lee was on every lip and one long shout OF
welcome greeted his return from Cuba. The
wisdom and courage displayed as our repre-
sentative in Cuba placed him before our peo.
pe as the one chiefly to be honored at the
time.
Today the name of George Dewey monop-
olizes the regard of an appreciative people
and they are heaping merited honor upon
him, while the echoes of the acclaimlnE
voices that welcomed Lee are but faint re-
vcrberatons.
Tomorrow it may be Sampson or Schley
at the mention of whose name the swelling
heart of patriotic Americans will find relief
in loud huzzahs, and Dewey with Lee will
take bis place in the calm but honored niche
OF history.
This rapid waxing and waning of popu-
larity is peculiarly American; not that we
are volatile or lack memory of deeds of val
liant and honorable men; neither is it hero
worship. 1t is an unwillingness that one
should receive greater honor than another
equally meritorious and the peculiar idiosyn.
cracy of the American heart, that 1t can have
but one true love-one bright particular star
at time.
We have yet in reserve stuff Of which
heroes are made and as their opportunity
arrives and is availed of, the sincere and
hearty acclaim of the people await them:
WHAT WAR CosTs.-Governor Lowndes.
Major. General Wilmer and General Shryock
have been doing some calculating with a
view to estimate of the expense to the State
of maintaing at Camp Wilmer the troops
which are now sleeping in the States tents
and messing in the new mess Sheds Two
hundred thou sand dollars has been appro'
priated for this purpose, and it is snid that
the camp is costing the State about $500
day. 1t is believed that before the troops
are mustered into the government service
from $50, 900 to $4,000 Of the 100000 will
have been spent, but all of this will be turned
back to the State by the War Department
Secretary Alger estimates the extraordi'
nary expenses of the War Department for
the next fiscal year at $150,O000OO The
naval expenses will probably be a still larger
sum in excess of ordinary outlay. If an
army Of occupation is to be maintained on
the Philippine Islands probably the war ex-
penditurc will outrun the Secretary's csti-
mates BY the end of two months Secretary
Gage has informed the Senate Finance Com
mittee, the entire amount OF cash In the
Treasury, except the gold reserve, will have
been discussed.

ANNIVERSARY SERvICE.-The Up. Gu.
anniversary services which we're 10 have
been held on Sunday evening last, on account
will be held this Sunday evening. An inter.
esting program has been prepared and the
public cordially invited to attend.
Is 1T COMING We expressed the opinion
when wheat was worth 60 cents bushel
and -four about 81 per barrel, that it would
he better for us if -four was worth $40 per
barrel. 1t begins to look like the worth of
our opinion will be tested. Weso expressed
ourselves because we are an agricultural
community, doing little in the manufacturing
line, hence, if our farmers are prosperous, all
other branches of trade and business would
necessarily improve. We arc more than
willing to have it put to one years test.
Mn. EpMuNDs ON THE PHILIPPINEs.-Ex-
Senator Elmunds, justly famous during his
long Congressional career as an authority on
international law and ethics, is quoted in
the New York World with reference to a
very interesting aspect Of the situation:
"lf the United States were to hold those
islands for a coaling station or as a colony,
the European nations might lodge protes,
similar TO this
"As America has always tried to follow
the Monroe doctrine and succeeded in her
attempt, it would be like putting this doc.
1,,J1 &c h. In
She has always asked us to leave the West
ern Hemisphere alone, which we have done,
surprising that abe would continue to follow
the same doctrine. but now America is inter.
fering with our province in the East, and If
she intends to hold it, she cannot expect us
to respect her wishes in regard to the west.
ern part OF the world
"Should America thoroughly subdue the
instruction in the Philippines; and keep the
country with the SANCTION of Spain after the
war, she should dispose of it as she thinks
fit, but it would not be policy to do this, as
it would show iavortism toward the country
to whom it was sold and make enemies of
those nations who wished for it and did not
obtain it
Should the United States wish TO dispose
ofthe islands after peace has been proclaimed
she could not do better than offer them back
to Spain, either as a purchase or as a present,
after The war indemnity has been paid. To
this proceeding the European nations could
lodge no reasonable objection, and it would
show them that America did not wish to
tread upon foe after she had defeated her,
and that the war WAS really carried on for
the sake Of humanity
