influence of railroad corporations who en-
deavored to break up the meeting by noisy

The incident IS not altogether devoid OF peril
hence for recall and application Mt the present
time There should be in advance OF interna-
tional conflict time and space for every word
that might avert the dread calamity. There
should be not a word OF mere recrlmlnation and

courage. Upon the verge Of the unuttcrablc pos
sibilites OF 1t is fitting that nation should
bo In more thoughtful and serious frame OF
mind than that which finds expression IN
vituperation. Brave men do not, n rule in
suit their foes before they fight them, nor do
modern courts OF Justice condemn prisoners TO
torture or public disgrace before being led to
execution.
A reminder of this principle is needed to some
extent in this country. but, without violation
of the principle itself, 1t must be said 1t seems
to be needed more In Spain. Allowance must,
Of course be made for the moro impulsvc
Latin temperament. But even when that is
done there Is ground for much regret mt the
tone which Spain has assumed toward the
United States. There IL the more Justification
for saying this because that tone has been main
tanned by the Prime Minister himself in his
latest uttcrances. Sefior Sagasa instead OF
meeting the arguments OF this Government,
merely cries out against the insults" It has
offered Spain That has been the Spanish tone.
Statesmen and public journals OF the highest
standing have made such phrases their con-

the "mongrel Yankees rs insulting, low-bred
and unworthy Of regard by the high-born hidal-
COS Of Spain. One of their foremost diplo-
mats has called President Mckinley low

this is not the language Of Castlllan chivalry.
And without suspicion Of being Pharisacal
It may be claimed that the manners OF this
country have been more credltable thnn those

This IS a great day for Europe. Great day
for the race-human and horse. To-day Rich
ard Croker, benefactOr OF the human and patron
OF the horse race, sets out to restore the equ-
lbrium Of the two hcmispheres by putting his
two large North American feet down hard on the
British Isles. and to readjust the balance Of
trade by planting the English turf another
instalment Of the hard-earncd American dollars
accumulated by close attention to the oppOrtun-
ties and unwearylng devotion to the duties Of
craftsmanship. 1t would be unjust as well MS
unchartabe to intimate that Mr. Cookers de-
parture at this particular crisis slgnifed on his
part a doubt as to the result Of the war with
Spain and consequent inclination to seek
neutral territory. There is no reason to sup
pose that he seeks an asylum abroad because
there Is trouble here. True, he went abroad
once before, when there was something like n
political disturbance here and It was limited
by the uncharitable that his departure might
have been on that account But he came back
when he got good and ready and a grateful
community set its heel on the insinuation by a
vindcation the signs, symbols and fruits Of

THE ARMY.

The Volunteer Army bill was passed yester-
day. ard the President IS expected to-day to
Issue his call for 100000 men. This prompt
adjustment Of differences between the Senate
and House IS creditable to the patriotism and
intelligence of Congress- and II only remains to
be regretted that the bill itself, though better
than there may have been reason to fear 1t
would be, was nevertheless harmed and not
helped by most Of the amendments to the origi-
nal draft Such as 1t Is, however, the President
Will put II TO immediate use and thus take an
indispensable step In prosecution OF the war
that Is upon us. IT, with increasing light upon
the situation and the possibilities, he should
determine to call for 100000 more. we are per-
suaded that the sound Judgment or the country
would approve his course. This Is emphatcal-
" another case In which a surplus would be
easier 10 take care Of than deficit. 1t Is Of
the highest importance to our National credit
and welfare that Spain should be confronted at
the outset with an overwhelming force. The
conflict should be short, sharp and decisive. 1t
might possibly prove to be so even II our mill
tary and naval condition were much less eff
Client than II Is But the country certainly has
no such guarantee. II IS the part OF wisdom
and of honor indeed of ordinary prudence. to
possess ourselves as far as possible OF the means
for striking a swift succession OF irresistible
blows.
An Impressive letter, based upon the observa-
lions of a brave and efficient soldier has been
sent to Adjutant-Ge General Corbin by General
Keifer The lessons Of dearly bought expert
ence ought not to be thrown away. When Pres
ident Lincoln called for $4,000 volunteers in
1881 there were men who thought that they
would not find much TO do The country
learned soon. but too late, that the number was
far too small. The error could never be wholly
repaired. That war was fought through to
conclusion in which the one deplorabe element
was that 1t ought TO have been reached some
years earlier. The United States cannot afford
10 make a second miscalculation Of its task.
We do not entertain gloomy apprehensions, nor
maintain that the forces now contemplated will
surely, or even probably. prove inadequate to
the work cut out for them. But We would ear
nestly remind the military authorities to whom
the President looks for advice that they have
no need or right to take the slightest risk.
Whatever may happen hereafter, this is mo-
ment Of popular enthusiasm. We believe that
this original ardor can be drawn on now TO any
desired extent but nobody can safely predict

In Lombard Street that there would be no war.
Despite the practical evidence supplied by the

Continental Europe steadfastly refuses to be-

prone to judge American motives by standards
other than appear to actuate their own national
