CHRISTMAS WITH OUR SOLDIERS.
1t is safe to say that Christmas day
of 1898 will be a strange and interest
ing one to q few thousand American
volunteers who are stationed in Cuba,
Porto Rico, or away across the Pacific
in the Philippines. Many of these
soldiers and sailors will this year
spend their first Chri stmas away from
home; many of them heretofore
have never been more than a
hundred miles from their native town.
OF course they may have a little
twinge of homesickness, but the aver
age American soldier in good health
and spirits doesn't need much sympa-
thy. He is going to have good time,
and is sure to celebrate Christmas in
fitting aud appropriate way wher-
ever he is, in Ponce or Santiago or
Manila. 1t will be a novel and ex-
citing day to hun, with much to at
tract and much to interest. There will
be eock-6ghts and bull-fights and q
thousand queer foreign fes Invites. In
cidentally we may rest assured that
the American soldier will contribute
his share towards the general enjoy
ments and Introduce some striking
features of his own invention.
But the Christmas season of 1898
will find a cyraar unmbar of our SOL
diers aud sailors on sick-beds in hot
and reeking no pitfalls, and for these it
will be a long, home-siek day. Our
illustration, taken from the Christmas
issue of Harper's weekly, shows one
Santiago, and if the Christmas box is
not home Christmas dinner, it is the
next thing to it.

THE death of Calvin S. Brice, brief
ly announced in our telegraph columns
yesterday. will cause surprise and re-
greet throughout the whole country.
Although having served term in the
United States senate he will be re-
membered as shrewd manipulation of
railroad properties rather than as
a statesman. His rise from the posi-
ton of briefess Ohio lawyer ito
that of great railroad magn ate and
princely Wall street speculator was
simply phenomenal. That he should
be so suddenly cut OF while yet at his
best and when entering upon new and
larger schemes than any lie had pre-
viously engaged in, is but another evil
dence of the wisdom of Solomon's re-
mark that all is vanity"

We have entered upon new paths. we
are treadinh In an unexplored neld, Wnicn
will test our wisdom and statesmansnlp.
The chief consideration Is one OF uuty ouE
actions must be controlled by 1t. NO settle
ment is admissible which will not preserve
our honor and promote the best interests OF
all concerned. With united country anu
the gathered wisdom of all the people, seek
ing only the right, inspired only Dy nlgn
purposes, moved only by duty and humanity.
we cannot err We may be baffed or de-
tered and often discouraged, but final sue
cess in cause which is altogether unselnsn
and humanitarian can only be deferred not
prevented.
If, following the clear precepts OF duty,
territory falls to us and the welfare or an
alien people requires our guidance and pro-
lection, who will shrink from the RESPONSE
biity, grave though it may be?
Can we leave those people, who, by the
fortunes of war and our own acts, are help
less and without government, to chaos ana
anarchy after we have DESTROYED the only
government they have had? After Destroy
ing their government, it is the duty of the
American Government to provide FOR them
better one. Shall we distrust ourselves,
shall we proclaim to the world our inability
to give kindly government to oppressed peo-
pies, whose future, by the victories Of war,
is confded to us?
We may wish it were otherwise, but who
will question our duty now?
1t Is not question of keeping tne i B1,,os
and Merritt took them and the country In
stantly and universally applauded Could
we have brought Dewey away without UNI
versal condemnation at any time from the
1st of May, the day Of his brilliant victory,
which thrilled the world with its boldness
and heroism? Was it right to order Dewey
to go to Manila and capture or destroy the
Spanish fleet, and dispatch Merritt and his
army to reinforce him? If it were our duty
to send them there and duty required them
to remain there, it was their clear duty to
annihilate the fleet, take the city Of Manila
and destroy the Spanish sovereignty in the
archipelago. Having done. all that In the
line of duty, is there any less duty to re-
main there and give to the inhabitants pro-
lection and also our guidance!

Uncle Sam Intends to Control.

The Importance of American interests
in the Pacific ocean, which has been so
notably increased by Dewey's victory al
Manila, and the assumption by the Unit
ed States of augmented responsibilities in
consequence, has received significant rec
ognition from the Navy Department in
the issue of orders to carry out plans
which have been carefully matured in the
last few weeks with a view to maintain
ing absolutely the political geography of
that vast ocean as it exists at the present
time and to prevent any further Access
sions Of territory by European powers in
the tracks of American commerce or
along the lines of communication between
the United States and its most distant
possessions. Perhaps the official action
of greatest Importance related to the dis
patch of the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite
from Norfolk to the Ladrone Islands, by
way of the Suez canal. Commander Geo.
+. Ide of the Yosemite will sail under
orders to hold his vessel at Guam as sta
ton ship, and while there to be constantly
prepared to protect the island of Guam
against any unfriendly incursion. Anoth-
er important order which has been issued
provided for loading the collier Abarenda
at Norfolk with the best quality of Poca-
hontas coal and for the departure of that
vessel for Samoa. The Abarenda will
lie in the harbor of Pago-Pago, which is
owned by the United States, doing duty
as a station ship, until the arrival there
next spring of the contractors and mate
rial for the coaling establishment to be
erected by this Government at a cost of
100000. Another order bearing on the
situation in the Pacific has been prepared
to be sent to the special squadron when
it arrives at Callao, directing the dstil-
ing ship Iris to proceed directly to Ma
Mia.

CONVICT rs CAUGHT.
OLD OFFENDER APPREHENDED

After Nineteen Years, J. L. Bates Must
Return to STATES Prison at Anamosa,
Iova-Bird Averts a Serious Acct
dent in Texas.
Ro1d Criminal in Custody.

Nineteen years after breaking Jail in
Anamosa, Iowa, John l.. Bates was ar
rested in Chicago and must serve his un-
expired term. Bates is said to be heir to
49,, 600 left him by his father in 1892,
and while he knew of it he was afraid to
claim the money for fear of being com
PEELED to serve the rest of his term. Bates
was born fortytwo years ago III jackson
County, Iowa, and when Is years old be-
gan his criminal career. He was arrested
for burglary and served two years IN the
Anamosa penitentiary. He was released
and robbed the railroad ticket office IN
Anamosa. He was arrested and sentenc-
ed to the Anamosa institution for term
of three years. May 90, 1879, after hav-
ing served fourteen months of his SEN
tence, he escaped. Although followed 10y
the authorities for months, Bates was not
caught, and the Iowa authorities lost
trace Of him. For nineteen years he kept
up his career of crime, but effectually con-
cealed his identity as the escaped Iowa
convict In 1881 he was convicted of
burglary and served three years in the
penitentiary at Chester. He was not con-
nected with any other crime until Hunter,
the stock yards commission merchant,
was killed in his office in the Exchange
Building in Chicago. At that time he
was arrested for completely i'll the murder.
After having been held severalNmonths
under suspicion he was released, as the
charges against him could not be substan-
tiated

Court Declares State Unable to Show
Rates Are Excessive.
After many months work and thou
sands of dollars expended in securing ex-
pert testimony, the famous North Dakota
railroad rate cases were decided by Unit
ed States Judge Amidon at Fargo, in
favor of the railroads. The decision is
concurred in by United States Judge
Thayer Pursuant to a law enacted by
the last Legislature the railroad commits
sioners made a slightly reduced freight
traffic. The railroads obtained an injunc-
ton in the United States Court prevent
ing the enforcement of the rates. Judge
Amidon then appointed Attorney Lowell
of Casselton a special master to take testi-
mony in the case, making it compulsory on
the State to show that the commissioners
rates were not too low and contiscated
railroad property, as charged by the rail
roads. The decision is to the effect that
capital has a right to proper remuneration,
and North Dakota failed to show that the
railroad rates do more than yield proper
income on the capital invested. All the
roads in the State had joined in the con-
test.

AT SAVANNAH, GA.

There is cause fer congratulation that
with the grave problem before us growing
out of the war with Spain we are free from
any divisions at home.
Our financial and revenue policies cannot
be changed for at least four years, and
whatever legislation may be had affecting
them during that period. will be to improve
and strengthen, not destroy them. The
public mind can, therefore, repose in rea-
sonable security, while business will pro-
ceed without apprehension of serious and
sudden changes so disturbing to the COM
mercial world and so distracting to the bus
mess men. All of which is fortunate to the
country, for every interest and every sec
ton of the country. Even those who desire
other and different policies prefer perman-
ency to constant change, or what is almost
as hurtful. the fear of change.
There are happily now no domestic diff
ferences to check the progress and pros
perity of the country which our peaceful
relations with the world will encourage and
strengthen.
This Is fortunate, too, In another sense.
1t leaves the country free to consider and
discuss new questions, which are immedi-
ately before us, unbiased by party or polit-
ical alliances. These new questions are to
be thought out and wrought out, not in
spirit of partisanship, but in a spirit Of
patriotism; not for the temporary adyant-
age to one party or the other, but for the
lasting advantage of the country. Neither
prejudice nor passion, nor previous condi-
ton can embarrasS the free action and calm
judgment of the question.
