The rInishea chnracter.

There are, within the range of every
ones life, processes of life which must
be solitary; passages of duty which
throw one absolutely upon his indi-
vidual moral forces, and admit Of no
aid whatever from another. Alone
we must stand ometimes; and IL our
better nature is not to shrink into
weakness we must take with us the
thought which was the strength Of
Christ: "Yet I am not alone, because
the Father is with me-" The sense of
right can more readily endurate the
tender than melt the rocky soul, and
that is the most finished character
which begins in beauty and ends in
power; that leans on the love of kim
dred while it may, and when it may
not can stand erect in the love of God;
that shelters itself amid the domes-
ticities of life while duty wills, and
when it forbids can go forth under the
eXpanse of immortality, and face the
storm that lies beneath the canopy

One Of Chicago's lyceum bureau lee
turers has just completed a tour
through the south. lie tells this story
of an experience in the town Of Bowl
ing Green, Ky:
"The morning after our lecture I
was strolling down the only business
'thoroughfare in the town, when l was
accosted by an old man who hobbled
along with the aid OF cane, and who
was in the neighborhood Of 20 years
of age. He was chewing tobacco copi-
ously and letting everybody know it by
the amount of saliva he squirted to-
ward the gutter at intervals of three OF
four steps. lie walked up to me, and,
after the usual salutation Of: "Howdy,
stranger" he said:

a Chicagoan just returned from
trip through the south tells a story of
a southern negro and his ideas of war,
as gathered from the newspapers.
The negro was shining the shoes Of the
northerner in an Atlanta hotel and the
conversation naturally turned TO the
recent battle of Santiago. The north
erner asked the young colored man
why he didn't join hands with his
brethren and go down TO Cuba to help
free the Cubans and avenge the muir
dered sailors of the Maine.

The Curious Graham.

There has been some commotion
caused both here and in England by an
extraordinary letter written by Mr.
Cunningham Graham to the London st.
James Gazette. Graham alleges that
the gunners on our fleet at Manila
were Englishmen, kidnapped in some
mysterious way out of the English
navy. Captain Crowningshield has
taken the trouble to contradict this
idiotic statement Graham is probably
as perfect a specimen of the political
degenerate as exists. He was elected
to parliament and retained his seat for
a short time. In the house of COM
mons he developed into an unmitigated
bore and nuisance. He posed as an
extreme socialist. AS a matter of fact
he is Scottish laird and likewise a
very wealthy man. who makes some
pretension to royal descent and keeps
strict account of his own filthy lucre
however ready he is to confiscate that
Of others. Ee was committed to jail
for six weeks during his parliamentary
career for leading a mob of despera-
does in Trafalgar square and as con-
sequence forfeited the favor and con-
fidcnce of respectable Englishmen. His
sympathies are with the Spanards be-
cause he once lived for considerable
time in Spanish America. A Scotch
man, he married n Spanish lady. An
atheist, he collaborated with his wife
in writing the life Of st. Elizabeth. n
Spanish saint, a very extraordinary
woman. the reformer of the religious
order of Carnielites. and trancendent-
al thaumaturgist and mystic in an age
OF mysticism and belief in miracles.
Graham is not so foolish as he acts,
nor so idiotic as he writes. He could
tell you good deal about Spanish
Fours.

We do not send them all away
Our bravest and cur best
When the battle-cry is sounding
And the eagle leaves its nest;
There are brave battalions marching,
And the heroes face the roar
or the guns that belch their lightning
In the thunderstorms of war.
When they march away to glory,
When the flags above them wave
When the nation sends its greeting
To the valiant and the brave,
There are tender heroes waiting,
There are brave ones left behind,
As the bugle's note of sorrow
Watts Its music on the wind.

SPANISH HONOR.
Mia Letter in Washington Post.

Manila Letter in Washington Post
During the recent insurrection in the
Philippines a number of Cebuans enlisted
with the Spaniards on the promise that
their families would be looked after, that
they should be exempt from tribute, and
be regularly paid. They were absent on
service for seven months, receiving no
pay, and when they returned found their
families starving, but had to pay the
usual tribute. Then they rebelled. But
they dispersed at the first appearance uf
the warships and the bombardment was
most uncalled for.
The British consul protested energetic
ally, but Spanish honor-bah! the word
leaves bad taste in the mouth-had 10
be satisfied. The business part of the de-
fenseless and peaceful town was shelled
by the Don Juan de Austria and another
ship, so that the only buildings left stand
ing are the foreign consulates and for
eign warehouses, After the bombardment
Cebu was pillaged by the Spanards. 1t
was afterward almost a daily occurrence
to see gangs of natives being taken to the
fort, and after a most summary trial they
were led out to be shot.

Our Superlo rity In Men.

The Chicago 1nter-Ocean gives credit
whore II is due when 1t calls atten-
tion to the fact that our wonderful
naval victories have been due not only
to the men behind the guns" but as
well to the men who man the engines
1t adds with timely Justice:
I'm this country IL is not a disgrace
for a man to soil his hands or his
clothes in work about machinery
There is no reluctance on the part of
the best trained and ablest experts to
come to close quarters with engines
and machinery. The chief engineer of
vessel ranks with the captain. He
and his assistants often play as inn
portant a part in the efficiency of
vessel as the captain and the men be-
hind the guns If the Oregon had not
been well oftcered in its engineer de-
partment that battleship never could
have made the extraordinary journey
around the continent. II the engineers
of all our battleships in front of San
tiago had not been of the very best,
If they had not had control of the
machinery that contributes to the speed
of war vessels. and IL they had not
been moved by enthusiasm as ardent
ard by courage as high as the men
who were doing the fighting, the Brook
lyn and the Oregon would not have
oyertaken the fast cruisers Of the
Spanish fleet.
"The truth is that the work in the
engineer department is UP to the very
highest standard in American war
ships. Engineers take as much pride
in their work as the captains and their
subordinates. AS many inducements
are offered to high-class young men
to enter the engineer department as to
enter any other 1t is not so in the
Spanish navy. The Spaniards OF the
military or naval class do not take
kindly to what they describe as the
dirty work about ship. On many of
the Spanish vessels the engineers have
been educated abroad and have less
| interest in their work than If they were
| Spaniards. In our navy the engineers
are full of the American spirit and are
as proficient as the schools and eX-
perience can make them.
In every engagement in which the
American fleet has participated there
has been enthusiasm from the lowest
man to the highest. Correspondents on
| board the great batteships say that
| every man seems to be in love not only
with the ship itself, but with every
foot of space that is associated with
his duty. With the finest of modern
| guns, with the best gunners with the
latest improvements in propelling ma
chinery, and with engineers as fond of
machinery as a horseman is fond of a
horse, our navy has not only great
fighting power but great seaworthiness.
1ne ships are handled well because
they are manned and Differed as are
few other ships in the world"
Under the circumstances it is not un-
reasonable to expect as result of this
war that American ship yards and
American constructors of machinery
will hereafter do rushing foreign
business.

GENEROUS ADVHRSARlES.
Holland" in Philadelphia Press.

Holland" in Philadelphia Press.
Chaplain Jones, of the Texas, who Is at
the hospital a the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
had an opportunity on the trip of the st.
Louis from Santiago to Portsmouth, n.
H., to see a good deal of Admiral Ger
vera and of the other officers of the
Spanish squadron who were brought
north by the st. Louis. III a conversation
this morning with Chaplain Jones. he
said that sCrne misapprehensiOn had been
caused by remarks attributed tC Admiral
Cervera wniCh he could not have made.
In the first place, Mr.. Jones says, The
admiral does not speak English or at
least speaks with the greatest difficulty
and only a few words. No remarks of
his made for publication were interpreted
nor was the admiral asked by any one to
say anything for publication excepting
by one of the junior officers OF the st.
Louis. That is also true Mr.. Jones be-
lieves, of the other officers, excepting,
perhaps, in one instance. Two of the cap
tains speak English fluently and the ad-
miral's son also speaks English fairy
well, and it may be that some things that
Admiral Cervera said were in this way
reported secondhand. so that they at
last reached the public through the med
ium Of the newspaper.
O.
Mr.. Jones, however, has visible proof
miral, and with all of the higher officers
of the Spanish squadron as well as the
priests who were also brought north. In
a notebook or diary he has the auto
graph of the admiral and the captains,
and he also possesses evidences of con-
versations by means of interpreting. lie
wrote in English a statement to the effect
that as soon as the naval battle was over
the officers of the Texas being greatly
impressed by the bravery OF Cervera and
his subordinates prepared subscription
paper with the view of collecting funds
enough to buy silver service and pre-
sent 1t to the admiral as a tribute of the
respect which his courage had caused.
This statement was translated into Span
ish and the notebook containing the orig
inal and the translation was then handed
to the admiral, He read 1t and seemed
greatly impressed. Then he wrote in
Spanish his reply and that having been
translated into English by one of the Of
ficers was given to Chaplain Jones. The
reply expressed the deep sense of graft
tude and regard for the very high honor
and the noble generosity which the Amer
lean officers propose in this suggestion
that visible testimonial be presented
to the admiral. He added that he should
keep 1t as one Of the rroudest mementoes

The correspondence appears side By side
in Chaplain Jones note. book 1t was al
most the only communication which the
admiral had of formal kind, certainly
the only one whose authenticity is man
ifest by reason of the fact that 1t is IN
the admrars own handwriting. But, al
though this brief sentiment is the Only
acknowledged expression of the admiral
excepting the few words with which he
replied to the ersign of the st. Louis
when asked by that officer If he desired
10 say anything for publication, yet there
came &c Che plain Jones many indications
that the Spanish officers intend at the
earliest possible moment to let the peo-
Pile of Spain and especially the Spanish
government know that in the American
officers the Spaniayds have discovered
most generous, chivslrous, courteous and
considerate foe. Captain Eulate through
an interpreter intimated that the treat
ment the Spanish officers had received
might not be without effect in enabling
Spain to come TO Il better understanding
of the nature and quality of American
naval officers. The Spanish officers wee
very much impressed when they were
told that Chaplain Phillip, of the Texas.
had checked his men when they began
to cheer. and in doing so had said i'm
pressively, almost pathetically, Don't
cheer. men, for those poor devils over
