SAINTS PETER AND PAUL

From the red, white and blue folds of the
countrys fag-emblem of war-the chaste
white shaft of the great cross-emblem of
peace-dawned upon the sight of thousands
of reverent spectators as the hand of the
President of the United States gave the
signal for the unveiling yesterday after
noon. The hour was 3:45 o'clock, and the
scene, as the aged senior warden of the little
Church of ST. Adams, in the woods hard
by, pulled the white cord dropping the
| starry banner, was sublime and awe-nspir-
ing in the grandest sense. AT the foot of
the cross stood the little band of holy and
right reverend fathers of the Episcopal
Church." repeating again in these modern
times the ancient planting of the cross

most more than human they looked, their
forms showing the burden of years, though
clad in the sacred and royal raiment of the
church, their faces rugged and command

sion, their silvered hair falling in thin
| lengths upon their shoulders. Back of
them were the clergy, immaculate and
spotless in their veStments; the great choir
of boys and men, clad in white and black;
the distinguished civilians in somber attire
befitting the occasion. In front and at the
back of the imposing stone, towering high
in the air, were people who had come from
n
strong ropes and quiet policemen, in awed
silence. Such was the picture lent to the
impressive woods by these reverent men
and women, but grander and more i'm

ATims for Rejoicing.

Celebrations OF the victory at the, Phil
ippnes are and will be held throughout
the country. Wheeling will not be lack
ing in patriotic enthusiasm In doing
honor to the fleet and its commander
and crews that accomplished the most
remarkable feat In history. We join
heartily with u contemporaries in any
suggestion that looks to a proper and
Joyful demonstration.
Ordinarily, the people OF Wheeling do
not need urging in the matter Of a pa
triotlc demonstration. Already there
has been a natural spontaniety OF ex-
preston on every hand, and there Is
reason to believe that a united move for
a united exhibition In the nature OF a ju-
bilee would be responded to unani-
mously, and the proposition should be
carried out at once. 1t should be spon-
famous and void Of Formally tonight
or tomorrow night.
There isSfo doubt that the victory has
inspired confidence In the hope that our
Issue with Spain will be settled soon.
and without a great deal OF bloodshed.
This feature OF the significance OF Dew
ey's brilliant movement Is enough in It
self to warrant n ahcarty outpourlng OF
patriotic JOY. Whatever yet may come,
whether temporary defeats or q contin-
ued series OF successes, in any part OF
tho world. tho ultimate complete trl-
umph OF the United States and the un-
doing of Spanish rule with all that 1t
means, IS ns sure as fate can make 1t.

."H.. #n-N
With the situation at the Philippines
well understood and we'll in hand, and
the public anxiety relieved in a pleasant
way. interest IS now centred In the
movements that are taking place in the
vicinity Of the real seat OF war. A bat
tie which will test the strength OF the
5es! OF the Spanish and American ma
vies, and have an important Bearing on
the events that are to come, Is regarded
as bu. a question OF a few hours.
The Spanish feet, which has been so
long delayed. and the squadron In com
inland OF Admiral Sampson, are thought
to be drawing near to each other In the
vicinity OF Porto Rico. II reports are
correct, the crisis which has been looked
forward to may occur at any time. The
repor: from Haytl that a Spanish fleet
Of seventeen vessels has arrived at Porto
Rico, and that a battle is expected, Is
calculated to render acute an already
strained condition of the minds OF the
people OF both countries.
The people have every confidence in
the abaility Of the American fleet to ac-
complish a victory OF a decisive charac-
acter. and they have been patient and
serene on account OF their confidence.
History which was made SO rapidly last
weeks likely to be repeated in the hours
that are to come. Commodore Dewey's
victory was burt the beginning of the
end. The Spaaiards mus: receive an
other crushing and final blow. Porto
Plco will be taken, and then-free Cuba.
What a day a bring forth no man
can tell, but the American faith in the
outcome Is supreme.

Act Of a Real Hero,

The modesty OF Commodore Dewey Is
characteristic OF heroes = that fs. real
heroes. There is no bo~astfulness in his
dispatches to the government. A sim
Pile, fair-minded statement of what he
had accomplished up to the time the dis
patch boat left for Hong Kong, was all
that they contained. He did not magnify
his victories, and in some respects they
did not estimate them as high as even
the Spanish reports made them. For in
stance, he estimates the/numberof killed
among the Spaniards at 1870. with $50 sick
and wounded. and the latter, he incl
dentally announces. he As caring for.
The official report OF the governor
general Of the Philippines, or the other
hand, reports the Spanish loss at 6lS;
The encouragement, Of course, was at
that time in a better situation &c. know
the Spanish loss than was Dewey. for
the American commander had not Seen
able to land when the news was sent.
and could only estimate the loss. The
statement in Dewey's report, however,
that he is caring for the Spanish sick
and wounded. marks him as a worthy
officer of the government which is wag-
ing a war for the sake Of humanity and
civilization.
In view OF the Spanish record in Cuba,
where thousands Of Spain's " troops
have been allowed TO die of, disease and
hunger, to say nothing OF the treatment
Of the non-combatants, does any one
suppose that a victory by a Spanish
force over an American force would
have been followed by a similar hu-
name care Of the sickand wounded Oft
defeated enemy? We have only Spanish
history TO base O judgment on, and that
contains no fact on which to base a
charitable theory as to what a Spanish
conqueror would do under such clrcum-
stances. The incident affords mother
opportunity TO contrast the American
character with that of the Dons.
