Jul Y I, 1898.

Not since July 4, l776, has the day
passed under conditions which called
forth the patriotic enthusiasm OF all our
people as did that of 1898. July (, 1868,
was made memorable by the surrender Of
Nicksburg and the battle of Gettysburg,
bat while they caused rejoicing with a
part OF our people, they caused CORE
spending sadness on another part; con-
seqnently it leaves the sinking and com
plete destruction OF the Spanish squad
ron At Santiago on July 4, 1898, without
a parallel in our history as cause for uni
versal national rejoicing.
There are other reasons besides Samp-
sons victory that caused the American
people To put on an extra amount Of
patriotism at this time. 1t s the first ma
tionsl birthday for nearly forty years on
which perfect feeling of unity has ex-
listed throughout all parts of our country );
the first 4th OF July since 1861 that the
fact that all our people love our starry
emblem with eqnal devotion has fully
entered the minds of all our people, with
the exception of few newspaper editors,
who wear 81 hat and think all patriot
ism is confined to their political party.
A very strange feature of this celebrG-
ton WAS the loving manner in which the
stars and stripes were entwined with the
Cuban flag, and the applause which
greeted all alluslons to the friendship of
England by the orators of the day after
hearing the Declaration of Independence
read. In former years such illusions
would have been met with frown, if not
with Kisses. The whirligig of time brings
strange results. Our former foe is now
our frmest friend.

to say there is no truth in the assertion

brought about by fusion, is now more

Patriotism, is love Of ones country.
A patriot is one no loves hls country"
A broader definition than the above,
given by Webster, is, a love OF humanity.
Bat coniining the definition to that Of
Webster, there is nothing in the defini-
ton OF patriotism that implies that in
case of war, such rs now is in progress,
the people should not criticise and COM
ment on the policy OF our adm Illustration.
1t is d tferent, however, with those who
join the army and navy. Implicit obedi-
ence without criticism should character
ize those actually engaged in the struggle.
The fight for Cuba does not srse out of
the accepted definition of patriotism

SIMPSONS BAD LUCK.

From the time war between the United
States and Spain became inevitable every
favor that could be extended to man
has been showered on Admira. Sampson.
A suspicion has been growing on the peo-
pie tor some time that he was lacking IN
that dash and energy 30 necessary TO
good genera!ship, and without which no
man has ever become great hero.
SAMPSON has filled the same place in
this war that General Mcclellan did in
the civil war, and 90 far with about the
same degree of success. While he has
commanded the finest feet The United
States ever owned, yet it has fallen to the
lot o. men of lesser rank to win all the
honors which have so far been shoTered

BAD MARKSMdNSEIP.

There is nothing surprising in the re-
port that SIMPSONS ships destroyed Ger
vera's squadron soon after they appeared
in the open sea, but it is remarkable that
it was done with 80 little loss. 1t seems
impossible that 30 many shots could be
fred without more execution, even
though it WAS an accidental shot. The
Spaniards certainly had good ships and
good guns, and they have established q
reputation for bravery that excites our adj
miration and respect. The only trouble
il they cant shoot. If Spain has any
war vessels lett after peace is declared
she had better trade them all but one Tor
ammunition and drill that crew at target
practice until they can hit something.
Her navy will then be more effective
than the one she started IN with this
time. The Spanish army has had prsc'
tice in trying to put down rebellion in
Spanish colonies until they do better, as
our boys have learned to their sorrow at
Santiago. Our navy has had an unfaii
advantage 80 far.

OHIO HARMONY,

mony that prevailed in the Ohio repub'
lican state convention, and recommends
the same policy for the republicans OF
this state. The harmony was indeed
cosmendsble, but how about the meth
DDS that brought it about? The Hsnnaites
found themselves in the msjority and
proceeded at once to unseat every oppos-
ing delegate and fill his place with one
of their faction. After complete clean
up OF that kind they did have veritable
love feast. If harmony at the convention
WAS all they wanted their course was
wise. but how about the election? Is
that the Kind Of harmony the P.-I. wants
in this state? II it is the opposition Will

EXPERIMENT A SUCCESS
Equipment Of Seventh Street Railway Lin,
With Electric System.
No Interruption to Tranic of the Road
probabilities a. to Com.
pletion OF Work.

Mr.. Edmund Saxton, the contractor i'm
charge Of the work OF changing the equip
ment OF the It'll street line OF the Capital
Traction Company from the cable to the
Underground electric system, has demon
strated that his plan Of doing this without
interfering with the operation of the road
Is a practical one. Last night. after the
cars stopped running, gangs OF men began
to put the conductor bars In the conduit,
and. although the space is rather limited,
owing to the fact that the cable and the
wheels on which 1t runs are still in place
II was possible for the men to put the in
suiators In place. and then attach the con-
ouctor bars. Beginning at the southern
END CT It'll street, the men got as far north
as street south, when the time came
TINS morning to begin the operation of the
road. As the work commences when the
cars stop at night and ends with the start.
Ing up of the engines in the morning
there is only about five hours in each
twenty-four when this can be done.
MI. Saxton. however, is very much graft
fled with the results of the first nights
work, and he is naturally pleased that his
Judgment has been indicated as to the
practicability of making the change with
out interfering with the running of the
road. Independent of the advantage to the
patrons OF the line that the company was
not Obliged to go back to horses, this ex-
pertinent is of general interest TO street
railroad men throughout the country as II
Is the first work of the kind ever attemp ed
NOW that 1t has been demonstrated that
the change in the systems can be made in
thls way. operations will be pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible
1t Is expected by Mr.. Saxton that the It'll
street line will be equipped with the new
system by the early part of next month,
and 1t Is possible that the line can be
operated by electricity when practically
the rest OF the system controlled by the
capital Traction Company is run by power
furnished from the power house of the
company.
The extensions proposed in the bill now
peholng before Congress cannot be made
lntll the bill becomes a law. 1t will there
fere be necessary, in the early part of next
month, when 1t is expected to have power
TO operate the new system, to supply stub
ends at the eastern termini instead of the
loo ps. as authorized by the bill 1t is pos
siEle, of course, before that date the bill
may become law, but then time will be
required to make the proposed extensions
and so 1t may be that the system in its en-
trety will not be equipped with the new
system as soon as was expected earlier in
the season.

Physical Training I'm Public Schools

The care of the body has been, up to COM
