DISTRICT GUARD READY.
inspection of the Brigade Deyelon
Satta Ia ctOrY Cundifian

CONDITION..
Ihe uninformed citizen passing along
pennsylvania avenue last evening had rea-
son to believe that war had been declar-
ed or action of similar significance taken
The Center Market armory, the new home
of the troops of the District of Columbia
National Guard, was ablaze with lights.
There was hurrying and scurrying of
men in uniforms. Some were rolling blan-
kets and others were donning haversacks
and canteens. Packing boxes were very
much in evidence in all the company quar-
ters. Orders were heard on all sides fol-
lowed by the forming of companies and the
calling of rolls.
These warlike preparations were merely
the result of orders directing the several
commands to assemble in heavy marching
order for inspection. The notice was brief,
but the outcome was a gratifying demon
stration of the ability of the District of
Columbia National Guard to respond in
the shortest possible time to call to arms

In 1890 all the survivors of war

In 1880 all the survivors of war
soldiers, sailors, marines, white
men, negroes, foreign mercenaries
and the widows of all such per-
sons-numbered l,176, 900, accord
ing to the census which was taken
under republican auspices. To-
day there are about 100000 pen
sioners on the rolls, and according
10 Commissioner Evans there are
625, 900 claims pending and 200, 900
survivors receiving no pensions at
all. According TO these figures
the survivor population shows
net increase of "a 900 in ten years,
but as we know that between 300
600 and 100000 survivors have
died during the decade, it is evil
dent that survivors are being born
at the rate of about so, 400 per an
nun, and that the birth-rate is in
creasing. From 1900 to 1910 the
rate Of increase ought to be "a, 800
a year. During the last year Mr..
Evans has managed to add only
about 10000 names to the "roll of
honor" and he just grazed the
$780, 100000 high water mark.
No wonder that the Grand Army
is filed to the nose with virtuous

least 5000, 100000 to the patriots

The preponderance of verbal
evidence as heard upon on,
streets short time since, was to
the effect that we were TO have an
immense harvest Of cotton. I'm.
preccdented, as it were. The talk
of many men now changes into a
strain characterized by doubt, and
on the part of few, to a positive
assertion that "the crop will not be
near so large as was expected, :"
and no larger than previous crops.
This is a regular, annually-occur.
ring, and very harmful variation OF
report, and perhaps costs the
farmers several millions of dollars
by depression Of prices on &C
count of exaggerated reports. II
is the better part Of wisdom to be
conservative.

Is the War Over?

Gen. Wheeler expresses the very
positive opinion that the war with
Spain is not yet over. To a re-
porter of the Commercial Appeal
he said: mo, gentlemen, really
do not believe the war IS ended
yet. am almost positive that we
will have more trouble with Spain
and more fighting. The president
himself, | believe, is of the opin-
ion that the end Of the war is not
yet. This belief is based on the
fact that the Spanish ministry
takes the view that, as tie battles
in the Philippine Islands were
fought subsequently to the signing
of the peace protocol, that knocks
out that part of the peace negotia-
tons. Spain will not give up the
PHILIPPINES and Manila. and, Of
course"-here Gen. Wheeler laid
particular emphasis-"we can not
think of such thing now as CIV
ing them up, and we will not. l
believe, as truly as I believe that
| am a living being, that the Span
lard has not yet had enough. Va.
rious things and conditions go 10
convince sme Of this. Principal.
ly, though, the conditions EXIST.
ing in the Philippine Islands and
the position taken by the Spanish
on that question. l know that
President Mckinley is deeply and
gravely concerned over the situa-
ton, and is apprehenslve." Gen.
Wheeler refers only to the
Philippines as the bone of conten.
ton, but there are not wanting
those who look for further fighting
in Porto Rico and the Gem of the
Antilles. We may escape it in
Porto Rico, because there we have
soldiers, but We are in no such
happy conditions in Cuba. If
there can be no agreement reached
over the Philippines war will be
resumed, and resumed everywhere
there are any Spanlards capable OF
fighting. Havana would be a
troublesome customer to deal with.
and President Mckinley may re.
greet his folly in failing to require
the surrender Of Moro Castle as a
condition precedent TO any cessa-
ton of hostilities. The Dons
could not resist American valor.
but they find easy sailing in deal
ing automatically with the Wash
ington authorities. There are a
good many who think as Gen.
Wheeler thinks about the resump-
ton of hostilities. Spain has Sc
cured breathing spell. She has
provided herself with supplies and
is now better prepared for longer
siege than ever.-Commercial Ap-
