"A Triumph After Many Failures.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sir: Now that the
ardor OF the campaign is cooled. may I offer
my sincere and unexpected congratulations to
the. city Of New York for o case OF speedy fuh-
tice which is akin only to that meted out in
Kentucky. Texas, and a few other sections by
Judge Lynch. l refer to'tho passage by the Council
OF tho ordinance against profanity and obscenity in
public places. / have had various experiences in
Offering suggestions. For example. I started ut ono
time q Republican paper in Kentucky when there
was only one other in the State. and that Of o mild
form. but It was many years before the State showed
q majority for the first time in its history In line
with the suggestions l offered. Ibegan q number Of
years ago to suggest that the only plan to make GER.
tain sections OF this country reputable was TO en-.
courage lynch law. the whipping post and public
SCHOOLS. but the suggestion has not yet been adopted.
l suggested four or i've years ago that the Post Once
Department adopt tho national flag as the leading
feature OF the national postage stamp, but the sug-
gcstion has borne no fruit as yet. At one timo I sue-
gestcd to charming young woman that shc marry
me- but the suggestion has been on the shelf for
more years than l care to mention, still unacted
upoh' thouRh the young woman was married long ago.
In many minor instances my suggestions have been
lacking In the g~littering success their merit de-
manded, but New York. with the Judgment and en-.
ergy and enterprise and perspicacity which has made
her first OF the cities OF the New World ana second of
the cities of the earth. has done better than / could
have asked.
would have been willing to have bided my time
FORA year or 30. but tho great city had 1t otherwise.
On the 9th of July. moved by what assailod my ears
anu sense Of decency daily In the public thorough

was unaccustomcd to that sort OF thing 40 opcnlv

aud obscenity and asking why some restraint was
not put upon It. This article appeared in THE Sun
OF Sunday. tho 10th. and 1t was followed by others
from many pens commencing 1t md demanding
that the evil BIO corrected. or at least restrained. On
Sunday. thc 18th. l had another short article in TINE
Sun. On Monday President Gurgenheimer of the
City Council drafted an ordinance which went before
the Council On Wednesday. July 20, and passed by n
vote OF 10 70 o. That is tho story Of II a. far AZ IL has

A scandinavian Union.

According to news from Norway the re.
suit of the late elections has been to Increase
greatly the strength of the radical party
in that country. This, It was thought, was
the prelude to further difficulties between
the Norwegian and Swedish Governments,
but the contrary has proved to be the case.
Their victory seems to lave moderated the
anti-Swedish temper Of the Norwegian
radicals, and to nave disposed them to a
moro temperate view Of the political situa.
ton, and to greater solicltude about tho
dangers threatening the independence of
the two countries II their discords should
lead to an open rupture.
There Is now, it is said, a very good pros.
pect of the establishment of a customs
union of the two countries, into which Den
mark will enter. There lie as yet no talk of
a more intimate connection, the immediate
object being to bring about a more friendly
feeling between Sweden and Norway, but it
is understood that once the fiscal relations
between the three countries have been sat.
isfactorily arranged, efforts will be made
to induce some form of military union for
defence. The present non.union of the three
Scandinavian peoples renders them liable
to PARTITION or conquest by stronger powers,
whereas united they would present a suhi.
GENTLY strong front against attack. Their
combined populations would amount TO con.
siderably over nine millions of d hardy and
enterprising people. They could place at
once In the field an army of 10000 men
with reserves of over half a million, and
their navies, comprising thlrty.three yes.
sells of modern type aggregatlng over TO-
600 tons, with some sixty torpedo vessels
of various sizes, and a large number of
small coast defence vessels, mounting in
oil some sever hundred modern guns, con-
stitute a respectable sea force, which Is to
be increased by several large and heavily
armed ships of the newest type.
Considerable attention Is also given now
to coast defence in all three countries, and
the Danish Government Ia expehdlng large
sums OF money on the fertilization of the
Sound and the other passages leading from
the Baltic into the North Sea.
The union of the Scandinavian States
now in prospect could not Of itself be of
any great influence on the general politics
Of Continental Europe, but the fact that
efforts are making to bring 1t about is an
interesting and significant fact.

Inevitable.

The radical mistake of those who would
have this Government mako peace with
Spain without insisting that the Philip.
pines shall be ours, is in imagining that the
Philippines can ever again be SPANS. We
can hand them back to Spain, withdrawing
our forces, Of course with the honors Of
war, and Spain may reassert her GOV.
ereignty over them, even undisturbed by
internal rebellion. But It couldn't last
long. BY no possibility can Spain become
able to hold colonies In distant parts of
the world, particularly on the coast Of
Asia and sooner or later the Spanish Phil
ippines restored would DO taken under the
control of one of the great powers. If WI
yield the Philippines, we yield them not to
the successors of ALPHoNso KILL, but to
some other European country or countries,
whose flag would not BIO raised over them
for the health Of the United States.
The Philippines are ours by the right Of
war. To return them to Spain for the ultl-
mate and certain benefit of another nation
will be to continue the dream that the
United States are for all time 30 magni6-
Gently "isolated" that the political de-
velopment of the world outside Of the
Western Hemisphere does not concern us.
II would be o betrayal of the national in
terest 30 colossal that the mind would ever
afterward seek an explanation beyond folly
and Observation-Disclosures.
II we abandon the Philippines, we shall
have fought not so much for the United
States az for some other country, say Ger
many. That Won't do.

STORY OF TWO 8EeGARS.

A Spurious Blind Man, 81 Years Ola, with
01a,000 in Gold, Deserts His Aged wife.
BAN FRANo1sco. July 29.-Mrs. octaviR Bons
net, 10 years old. an organ grinder. has dis
appeared. and the police suspect foul play. Her
story Is peculiar. For thirty years she was o
familiar figure al the corner Of Dupont and
Sutter streets. where she ground a small organ.
Her husband wns o spurious blind man who
stood on the next corner. Between them they
often made So q night.
They saved $4,000 and lived happily until
laJely. when Bonnet. who 1887 years old but still
vigorous. began beating his wife because she did
not earn enough money. She feared he in
tended to kill her. and had him arrested for as
sault. Bonnet defeated her In tho police court.
Then he sold the furniture Of their house and
two organs to q friend named Bison, and left
81 and q note for his wife. with the suggestion
that she would grace tho poorhouse. He drew
all tho family wealth from the different banks.
and departed from. the Coast on sunday with
his. wealth in gold double eagles in u valiso
which he carried strapped to his side.
Mira. Bonnet found herself homeless and
destitute. as Bison removed the furniture and
took the. organs. She went to a friends house
and on the following day disappeared. She has
not been seen SINCE. and Bison is accused OF
spiritinR her away to prevent an Investigation
OF her husbands acts. Bison has been ordered
to produce Mrs. Bonnet in court tomorrow,
and an attempt will be made to bring back Bon
net II he has not sailed for France.

city Of Porto Rico, containing over $4,000
inhabitants. About eight miles further
along on h road to San Juan is still an
other principal town, Juan Dlas, which IL
said to contain 81. 900 people, bringing 1t
up to seventh on the list Of citles,
1t Will be seen, therefore, that, almost at
the outset Of his march, Gen. MILES comes
upon three Of the chief towns of Porto Rico,
and also upon the only railway on that
coast. Gen. MAcIAs could not allow such
possessions to drop into our hands without
firing q shot.
1t would seem that out of such q popular
tion many local volunteers might be as
sembled to help resist our advance. But
the ~autonomist or dlsafrected feeling 10
strongest in that region, and the ad.
mission Of Gen. MAoIAs that the Porto
RIcans seem Indifferent to our inva-
sion is also significant. Until q larger
part Of Gen. MILEs's force is landed, his
progress may be somewhat slow, but 1t will
not be surprising at any time to learn that
he hat captured Yauco and Guayanilla.
AS for Ponce, It lies mainly about three
miles back from the shore, but, there are
important buildings on the beach, and tho
feet can aid also in the capture Of tho
town. Then will follow o march Of
eighty.five miles to San Juan.

The Fleet at GUANTANAMO.

After the destruction OF CEnvERA's ships
and the fall Of Santiago, an interval OF rest
and reftting has been allowed to the pow.
erful squadrons of Admiral SAMPSON, Com.
modorc ScHLEY and Commodore WATSON,
now assembled in the protected waters of
Guantanamo Bay. Coaling, cleaning by
divers, and even r%epaintlng have been 60
Ing on, while repairs Of various sorts have
nttested the value Of IL new floating
machine shop, the Vulcan.
1t is a characteristic of tho navy to get
everything ready and shipshape for new
work the moment q let.up In active opera
lions allows, This applies both to mate
rial and to men, the aim being to keep every.
thing In the highest state Of efficiency.
DEwEY's withdrawal from battle for break
fast, at Manila, made as coolly as a cur.
tain is let fall between the conveniently
divided acts of q play, suggests that naval
methods are distinct from those possible in
land campaigning, and 1t is safe to say that
most of our vessels are already trim and
supplied for new campaigns. Yet some of
them may need docking, not only for better
cleaning than divers can furnish, but for
more elaborate repairs than even the Vulcan
can supply. Hence we already see tho Texas,
whose fine service at Santiago resulted in
some injuries from tho fire across decks Of
her heavy guns, now ON her way north.
The Iowa Is said to need soraping In order
to ave her make the speed h should
show in crossing the ocean. Indeed. it Is
possible that ono after another of our ves-
sells may come north for this purpose, the
probability being that the big Dock No. 8
at Brooklyn will be repaired and ready
early in August.
Much. however. must depend on the
work still to be lone by the feet That
includes first, and OF most immediate
urgency, the Porto Rico campaign. There
it will have to cover the landings of the
remainder of Gen. MILBs's forces and CO.
operate in commandments, as ut Ponce and
especially at San Juan.
But the Massachusetts, Gloucester and q
few other vessels have been found sufficient
for the landings, and 1t 10 believed that the
monitors, with one or two other ships to
aid, can take care of San Juan.
Next comes Commodore WATsoN's expe.
dition, which has not been abandoned, but
has properly been made to walt for the
Porto Rico campaign, and may wait still
longer for the peace negotiations.
Finally, several minor tasks arc under
consideration. such as the occupation of
C~ienfuegos. while of course the Havana
campaign in the autumn must be kept in
mind. It can be seen, therefore, that there
is still work ahead for the navy, should
the peace negotiations come to nothing or
be delayed. and that there IL wisdom In
