England our Erienl

There is no doubt Of Great Brltain's
purpose to stand by us in the trouble we
are having with Spain. The indications
Of such purpose are cropping out all the
time. In our dispatches yesterday Mr..
Chamberlain, the English colonial min
lister, In speech at Birmingham on Fri
day evening, is quoted as saying that
would be cheaply purchased If in a great
and noble cause the Stars and Stripes
and the Union Jack should wave together
over an Anglo-Saxon alliance"
Cecil Rhodes, one of England's great
men, In a recent interview, said that Eng
land should see to Il that the other Pow
ers of Europe did not undertake to rob
America of the fruit of her victory at
Manila. Further along jim his interview,
speaking to the British government, he
said: Strike bargain with America
and you may be beginning the great
Anglo-Saxon compact of the world, reach
ing in significance an effectual CONNER
clal federation of the English speaking
races.
France is with Spain in the pending war
and Germany would like TO dictate to us
the policy to be adopted in respect to the
Philippines, but if Great Britain gives us
her moral support, and she appears to be
disposed to do so, no one of the other
Powers will interfere with us in our war
with Spain. We will be free to do as We
please so long IS we do not interfere with
the established rights of other nations
AS to whether the time will ever come
when a commercial federation OF the
English speaking races will exist, no
one can speak with certainty. but that
by some OF the foremost thinkers of the
day there is no doubt.

Capt Crouch, of Omaha, who command
ed a Kentucky company on the losing side
of the late unpleasantness," tells a good
Lincoln story, says an exchange. Lincoln
was being urged from the beginning of the
war to take Richmond, and that city was
the point of attraction for the federal
army. But talking of taking Richmond and
taking Richmond We're two different mat
tors. Gen. Scott, who was not retired until
after several futile attempts had been
made to take Richmond, was summoned
before the President.
Gen. Scott said Mr.. Lincoln, will you
explain to me why it is that you were able
to take the City of Mexico in three months
with 5000 men and have been unable to
take Richmond in six months with 100000
menu" 81
Yes, sir, I can, Mr.. President" replied
Gen. Scott. THE men who took me into
the City Of Mexico are the same men who
are keeping me out of Richmond now"
This was concise. The troops that de-
feated Santa Anna were mostly recruits
from the South.

Before the breaking out of the war with
Spain, the ministers of this country
preached peace, and prayed that some
means might be found through which a
just and honorable solution of the difficult
ties between the two countries could be ar
ranged. Now, however. since war has
been declared and the fighting has been
begun, they are preaching patriotism and
praying for the success of the American
arms. Whatever may be the denomination
or sect Of the preacher. Gentle or jew
Protestant or Catholic, the sentiment with
regard to the prosecution Of the war is all
one way. Methodist, Presbyterian, Epis-
copalian, Baptist Lutheran, and other
Protestant ministers raise their voices in
unison with priests and rabbis in urging
the hearty support of the government, and
appealing to the Divinity in behalf of
those upon whom is devolved the duty of
directing and Of fighting the battles.
Occasionally from a pulpit however,
comes the exclamation, Remember the
Maine" or something of the same i'm
port. While the exclamation is an inspir-
ing one, afeld or afioat, upon the eve of
battle, and viii probably be heard
throughout the war from the mouths Of
grim soldiers and man-'o-wars-men, still
it may be doubted that 1t should be empha-
sized from the pulpit. Remember the
Maine!' is a cry for revenge. Vengeance
is mine, saith the Lord" Revenge is not
high and noble sentiment, notwlthstand-
ing the desire for vengeance when griev-
Gus wrongs are done probably exists in ev-
cry human breast. This war, however, is
based upon much grander and more glo-
rious principles. 1t is a war for human
ity. 1t is war for liberty. 1t is a war
for progress and enlightenment, as against
tyranny. The Congress in declaring war
did not make the matter of the Maine the
leading feature. 1t based its action upon
higher and broader grounds. and secured
at once the active support of the whole
country. We are also assured of the sym
pathy, neutral though 1t may be, of a good
part of Europe.
The appeals for revenge from the pulpit,
however, are very few. AS a whole. the
pulpit regards the affair in its larger as
pect and is teaching the vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war because 1t has been order
ed by the government of the United States
Of America, and is undertaken In the name
Of Humanity Charity and Civilization.

Frances III VIII.

In this war with Spain we have the
Ill-wil of France. There are reasons for
this. One reason is that our tariff shuts
out of our market many kinds of French
manufactures. Ever since the Dingley
tariff went into effect France has been
snarling a us. She seems to think she has
a grievance against us because we don'r
arrange our customs duties so as to pro-
mote the prosperity or her manufactures
Another reason is that her people are
holders of hundreds of millions of Span
ish bonds. She doesn't want to see Spain
lose any Of her colonies, because such a
loss would lessen her ability to pay the
principal and interest on her bonds.
But because France sympathizes with
Spain in the war it wouldn't be good pol
ley on our part to refuse to make an ap-
preparation for an exhibit at her exposi-
ton in 1900 1t is all well enough for the
women of the United States to boycott
Frances millinery. if it pleases them to
do so, but 1t wouldn't do u.s. as a people,
any good to boycott her exposition.
1t is said that there is feeling in Con-
gress against making an appropriation
for an exhibit at the French exposition.
The existence of such feeling is not to
be wondered at, but it should not be for
gotten that we are not going to make an
exhibit for the benefit of France, but for
our own benefit. The exposition will be
held whether we take part in 1t or not,
and while we would be missed, our alb
sence wouldn't spoil the exposition. We
should, therefore, do ourselves, rather
than France. harm by not making an ex-
hiblt.
We have many products in this country
for which we wish a wider market in Eu-
rope, and we have others which we want
to introduce into Europe. The exposition
What folly, then, would 1t be for US to
refuse to make an exhibit which would,
in all probability, bring us a vast amount
of trade, simply because France sympa-
thizes with Spain in the war now in pro-
gress!
What we should do is this: We should
show to France that we are great enough
to be independent of her sympathy-that
we can afford to ignore it, We would, of
course, like TO feel that we have the SYM
patty OF the French people in the war
with Spain, but it wouldn't add anything
to our greatness. or the. esteem in which
we are held by the rest of the world. if
we should show resentment in a childish
manner because. we haven't 1t.

The MnniIa Exnedition.

The task assigned TO Gen. Merritt is a
difficult one. He is to be governor general
of the Philippines, provided Admiral Dew
ey succeeds in putting him in possession
of Manila on his arrival there with the
force Of 5000 men assigned to him.
VIII 5000 men be enough for the pur-
pose which the government has in view?
Admiral Dewey ought to know. He says
he can take Manila at any time and that
5000 soldiers viii be sufficient to hold it.
1t is said that there are $4,000 Spanish
troops at Manila and 100000 Spanish VOL
unteers. Either that statement is wide
Of the truth or else Admiral Dewey ex-
poets that the insurgents will furnish a
supplemental force sufficient to overcome
the Spaniards and hold them in check

victory there would arouse feeling of in

The INVASION DELAYED.

The movement on Cuba will not be he
gun as soon as planned because of the
discovery of the presence of a strong
Spanish squadron on this side of the At
landc. 1t is important that the spanish
squadron Should be destroyed or at last
disabled. before the invasion of Cuba is
undertaken. No doubt the President and
his advisers understand the situation
much better than those who are not ac-
quainted with all the facts. Still it is safe
TO say that a brief delay in the movement
of troops to cuba will not be productive
of harm to our cause. il would be a great
blunder to attempt to invade Cuba with
out the most thorough preparation. A
repulse. even without serious loss, would
strengthen the confidence of the spaniards
in their ability to resist US, and would
have the effect of making them put forth
greater efforts to carry on the war with
the hope of doing us damage, If not of
preventing us from accomplishing the OBJ
ject we have in view. repulse also
might encourage some of the European
Powers to undertake to interfere in the
war and thus Increase our difficulties.
The movement on Cuba should be be-
gun with the feeling Of absolute certainty
that it was going to be successful. We
cannot have a feeling of that sort as long
as there is a doubt as to whether or not
we are sufficiently prepared. II is clear
that the Spaniards are not going to let
us occupy Cuba without a struggle The
affair at Cardenas shows that. They have
a big army on the island and there is
no doubt Of their intention to use it to the
best of their ability
That part of our invading force COM
posed of the regular army is ready to
move. There Is no doubt about that. But
how about The volunteers? Many of them
have not yet been armed with the new
army rifle and few, if any, of them have
received their uniforms In all of the
regiments there are many new recruits
men who have not had any experience
whatever in military matters-and even
those VINO have been members of military
organizations lack the decipline of train
ed soldiers. It is not a matter for regret
therefore that the invasion has been de-
layed a few days, provided the view that
our military forces are not as wen pre-
pared for the service that may be de-
manded of them as they should be.
1t is true that it is important that the
fighting in Cuba should be over, if pos
sible, before the rainy season begins. but
1t is better to be prepared before begin
ming the forward movement. because. If
unprepared, the chances Of being repulsed
would be greatly increased. A repulse
would necessitate a much greater delay
than that needed to put the invading
force in a satisfactory condition.
If Admiral sempson's squadron should
find the Spanish squadron there might not
be any need for an invasion of Cuba The
disabling of SPANS feet would make 1t
apparent even to the greatest Of the Span
ish jingoes that it would be folly to con
tinue the war.
