For the first time in tie history of
the world, war is about to be inau-
gurated in the direct interest of hu-
manty. The United States has de-
clared to brutal nation that her
brutal treatment of her subjects shall
cease and cease at once, That Spain
has demonstrated her incapacity to
govern Cuba and that she must sur
render the power to the people them
selves. That the principal of self
government is the prevailing princi
pie on this hemisphere, and that the
time has come that the monarchies of
Europe shall retire from this side of
the earth and confine their doctrine OF
ruling people by the Divine right to
the eastern hemisphere. The war
with Spain means war for humanity
for the realization Of the principle
which declares for the brotherhood OF
the race. Never can we expect peace
in the world until the equal rights oi
all are recognized and established and
the coming conflict seem to be the
first step to consummation of this
hope. Star.

TO CHRIsTEN THE "KAsAGI.r
Miss Long, Daughter Of Secretary Long
to Perform the Ceremony.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 11.-Miss
Helen Long, daughter of the Secretary
of the Navy, will christen the first Jap
anese warship to be launched in the
Uniteu States. The ceremony will take
place at Cramps ship yards on the 20th
inst. and will be interesting in several
respects because of the novelty. Min
lister Toru- Hoshi was notified a day or
two ago by Mr.. Cramp that the ship was
ready for launching and invited to name
a sponsor. The minister thereupon re-
guested Hiss Long to perform the cere-
mony of naming the ship and, with her
fathers assent, the young lady accepted
the invitation.
The launching of the cruiser will be
made a notable occasion. 1t is under
stood that the entire diplomatic corps
and many prominent people have been
invited to attend journeying between
Washington and Philadelphia on spe-
cial train to be provided for the purpose.
The cruiser is to be named the 'Ka-
sagi." and for the first time there will
be departure from the custom which
Las prevailed from time immemorial ir
launching ships of christening the craft
villa the contents of a bottle OF cham
pagne or other wine. This practice has
always been Objectionable to temper
ance folks and to some Christians, whc
felt that the christening of an inanimate
object was desecration. So, in the case
of the "Kasagi," there viii be nc
smashing of bottles, but, instead. the
craft will be named according to the
beautiful Japanese custom, and as she
glides into the water of the Delaware
Miss Long will pronounce her name

sacred by the japanese in such cere
