THE CABLE CONTRACT.

The contract granting to what is
known as the "Scrymser" company the
right 20 lay submarine cables from the
American coast to these Islands, and
the exclusive right, with some limi-
tations, TO lay other cables from these
Islands to Japan, has been signed by
the Executive Council.
In every respect it is a superior con-
tract to that made with Colonel Spald-
ing in 1895, a contract well known to
those who understood the situation at
that time, to be iIl-adyised and unfor-
tunate.
The "Scrymser" company is COM
posed of men who furnish the very
best submarine service through the
West India Islands, and along the
western coast of South America,
reaching into and connecting the South
American States with the world. Be
hind these men is the financial back
ing of the most powerful and reput-
able banking house in the United
States, J. Pierpont Morgan & Co.
It is fortunate for these Islands
that the business of laying these
cables is, at last, in the hands of these
men. General Hartwell is the resi-
dent counsel of this company and his
legal services have been of value to
it.
There has been strong and honest
opposition on the part of some mem
bers of the Government, to the grant
ing of these rights to lay cables to
the Scrymser company, on the ground
that it might unfavorably affect the
relation of the Islands to the United
States. But the provisions of the con-
tract r,arn1it ~ government of the
United States to protect itself should
it deem the contract unfavOrabe to
American interests.
The law providing for the making OF
the contract. and the contract itself,
is largely due to the persistent and
Intelligent efforts of Mr.. w G. Irwin
Although he is connected by marriage
with prominent member of the house
of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., he has,
we understand, no financial interest
whatever in the cable matter. His
efforts are due to that connection, as
well as to his desire as merchant,
resident and a member of the cOmmun-
ity, to take these Islands out of their
isolated position and bring them into
the business world.
Cable communication is now, prob
ably. only a question of months and
not one of years. The Government OF
the United States is not disposed to
venture into submarine cable enter
prises, and it will no doubt facilitate
the undertakings of the "Scrymser'
company in every way.

THE OTHER SIDE OF 1T.

The large majority of the volunteers
in the American army are young men,
who were born after the close OF the
Civil War They know nothing Of its
rough experiences, and fOrbidding as
meets. The term "war is he'll, to
Them is meaningless. To them it APP
Dears a sort of rough picnic, full of eX-
citing adventures. There is undoubt-
ed intense patriotism but its roots also
feed on the love of change and novel
tv. The "stern realities wither up
the romance of war.
The ''recollections of the Civil War"
by Sir William Howard Russell, now
being published recall to some of us
the awful experiences of 1861. He was
the special correspondent of the Lon
don Times, in Washington. On ac-
count of his fair and truthful account
of the battle of the first Bull Run,
which earned for him the intense hat
red of every loyal but eXcitable North
ern man, he was called then and since,
Bull Run Russell"
He had, as war correspondent of the
Times, a large experience during the
Crimean war, and was not far from the
spot, where the Charge of the Light
Brigade" rode to death and immor-
tally He was, therefore, a veteran
in comparison with the inexperienced
men and officers of the Federal army,
VINO had never seen a battle.
The awful disaster to the Northern

The enlisted men of these visiting
regiments will soon become familiar
with the bottom facts of war and when
they are, will act as other men act
under the circumstances.
But behind sentiment there remains
the Anglo-SaxOn pluck, the obedience
to discipline, and some of the best
fighting will be done by the very men
who are thoroughly tired Of their con-
tract to fight against Spain but will
keep it to the last.

1t is a strange commentary on the
maxim; truth lies heavy and is
burden to carry" that the generation
of Northern men now living, who, in
1861, read RusselIs letters to the
Ttimes still regard him with intense
dislike, because he told the truth, and,
did not share the enthusiasm
and purpose of the Northern people to
preserve the Union.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-07-06

After the excitement was over, and
the defeat at Bull Run, war became
serious business.
General Mcdowell, forced to make
an attack, by the wild popular cry OF
the newspapers, ION to Richmond"
before his men were drilled, became
the scape goat, and went to his grave,
twenty years afterwards, oppressed
with the feeling of wrong done to
him.

army, at Bull Run, was due largely to
the fact, that General Patterson of that
army was not able to prevent General
Joe. Johnston from joining his forces
with the other Confederate forces, and
over matching the Union army. And
why? Because among other reasons,
the enthusiastic young men, full of
patriotism at the time they enlisted
for only three months, and had never
been in battle, insisted on going home
because their time was up, although
on the eve of the first battle, Russell
says: Il had seen on the evening of
Bull Run a magnificent regiment
marching away steadily from the field.
They actually left a battery in their
camp for any one who liked to take
it" General Mcdowell the Union
commander, in his dispatch to the War
said: They marched off
the field to the sound of the enemy's
guns"
These many thousands of young men
enlisted then, as the young men are
eRIisting now, "out of a sense of duty.
But the discomforts, and monOtOny Of
camp life, the everlasting drill broke
the romance of war, and at the end
Of the term of enlistment, only three
months, they were anxious to return
home without firing a shot.

SAN FRANCIsCO'S GREETING.
Expression of Friendship for Ha-
wall From Major Phelan.

An expression of the friendship
which san Francisco bears for Ha-
wall has come in the shape of a letter
Of introduction to President Dole from
Mayor PheIan. The letter was plo-
scented yesterday % the President by
Henry J. McGile, special correspondent
Of the San Francisco Bulletin. and is
as follows:
HON. SANFORD B. DOLE,
Honolulu, II. /
Sir:-Permit me to commend TO
your courteous consideration Mr.
Henry / McGill, special correspondent
Of the San Francisco Bulletin. The
Bulletin, as you are no doubt aware,
has favored the policy Of annexation,
and Mr. McGiu Will bear to you the
news of the latest action of Congress,
which clearly indicates the early an
nexatiOn Of the Stands. The commercial
interests of San Francisco feel that
they share with you the victory so
spIendidly won, and now, as always,
regard the Island Republic as their
neighbor and friend.
Respectfully yours,

There were instances when regi-
ments did make a short extension of
their time of service, in other parts
of the country. But it soon became
apparent that the army could be main
tanned only by forcing men into it by
conscription. There were, of course,
many patriotic men who enlisted for
the war. But large numbers lost their
staying power, when they could no
longer read patriotism and Picnic
