Raising or the Maine Declared impossible.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sir: The Gov.
ernments proposal to contract for raising the
Maine and removing her to New York and re.
building her suggests the questions. Where are
the Governments engineers and what are they
contracting fort
Permit me to submit few thoughts which
require for their understanding bare common
sense without any engineering ability. There

of getting lifting hold on them, and, even il
they could get the hold, what have the wreck

ing derricks of this size in the United States.
them to lift 10000 tons. allowing that the mud
adhesion and difference in tho weight of metal
in water are equalZed. These would all have
TO lift simultaneously and to have the most nd
vantageous lead of lines. Some ono will sug-
Rcst pontoons. but W hat is true OF derricks as
cepting that pontoons in this cnsc could DO
placed with less advantage. Merritt & Chap
man and the Boston Towing Company know
they cannot lift this vessel.
THE Sun can positively state from an Ameri-
can citizen, and an engineer who has had some
diving work in general. that the Maine will
never be raised even partially intact and IL

cording to a telegram from Pckin, Russia

ably her ultimate intentions will not be
disclosed until after she has received the
money, which is of the utmost Importance
to her in view Of her plans for the enlarge.
ment Of her navy. When she consented to
a revision of the Shimonoseki treaty.
whereby she renounced all the territory
on the Asiatic mainland which had been
ceded to her, she certainly did not suppose
that this very territory was to be given to
Russia, or that to another European power,
Germany, would be conceded the foothold
on the mainland which was denied to
Japan. The original indemnity, of which
the outstanding part is about to be paid,
was in no sense a consideration for the re.
PROCESSION of the Liau-Tung Peninsula.
That retrocession was separately paid for
but Japan may hold that there was then
an understanding that China's territory
should remain intact, and that this has
been violated in the cases of Port Arthur
and kiao-Chou Bay. She may say that in
view Of the new situation her interests in
China and Corea will not permit her to
evacuate Wei-haiWei, although by the
treaty signed at Shimonoseki she was to
give back that naval fortress when the
whole of the original indemnity should
have been paid.

Go Out and Contemplate tho Flag

Nobody doubts the patriotism Of Con-
gress. 1t represents the patriotism Of the
American people. This remark applies to
and to every Representative of the eighteen
score members Of the House.
When the time comes for the voice of the
American people to be heard through It's
Congress, the utterance will make history.
That time may be a week Off, or fortnight
off, or a month Off no Senator or Congress
man knows. The thing that is certain is
that the occasion has not yet arrived.
Meanwhile, any expenditure Of time or
vocal energy in the declaration of senti-
ments or intentions which the country
takes for granted and which serve no
practical purpose except to make an indi.
vidual record is a waste Of time and a
waste of energy. 1t is like the lashing of
the water by the propellers of a mighty
ship before the hawsers are slipped.
Just at present the responsibility and the
burden of work are upon the Executive.
The country trusts President MCKINLEY
and his advisers. No Senator or Repre-
sentative who is not a fool believes that Mr..
MCKINLEY is the man to arrogate to him
bell Ine luuCUlOnS Oh Uue COOTulnBCe branches
Of the Government, or to usurp in any re-
spect or in any degree the power that be-
longs to the legislature. Congress can trust
the President, too.
Therefore, when the impulse comes to
any Senator or Representative to take the
present state of affairs as a text for pa
triotic eloquence which will merely churn
the water without putting the ship ahead,
let him control it IL he can, for the sake of
interests vastly more important than any
words he can say. If the impulse is IRE
sistible. then let him bite his lips hard and
hasten out of the Senate chamber or the
Hall of Representatives, as the case may be-
Let him go out into the fresh air and
stand there till the impulse to talk evapo-
rates, gazing in silence at the flag which
floats over his end of the Capitol.
There is no lovelier object for contempla-
tion at any time. There is no better object
at this time for silent contemplation.
This advice applies alike to Senators and
Congressman and to all other American
citizens.
Talk by and by. just now go out and gaze
at the most beautiful flag in the world.

The Navy.

One OF the first opinions expressed after
the destruction of the Maine was that
n the accident resulted from explosion
within the ship, and not from Spanish
hendishness without, then the blow was
fatal to the whole American Navy. The
cast-iron logic upholding this view de.
manded that IL our ships are not safe from
themselves, then they should be put out of
commission. Men would not go on them,
and men ought not to DC put upon them.
Fortunately the popular belief in the
navy, and the popular conviction that the
navy must go on, como what may, has
remained undisturbed, even with the over
whelming probability staring the public in
the face that the Maine died, Us 1T were, by
her own hand, and not by the hand Of an
enemy. Until there is positive proof to the
contrary the chances are to-day as they have
been from the first, ten or more to one, that
the disaster arose from accident within the
ship 1t was mischance that perhaps no
one could foresec, and that possibly no one
will ever be able to explain. But whether
it's cause was inexplicable accident or one

that 1t will occur again any more than one
ever expected it to occur at all.
We welcome the recruits to the navy,
now pouring in enthusiastically, and we
applaud their common sense in refusing to
be checked in their patriotic purpose by
the croaking of some very foolishly wise
critics of our warships.
The American Navy is all right. Its
heart IL as oaken and its Heaven-given
confidence In itself is as high as they were

cannot say how many men Spain has had

quarter of million would not bo too high
an estimate; and yet against this trcmen-
dous force the Cubans have made head.
Tho burning question is not how long they

1t possible to stand the strain.
Cuba's third anniversary, too, finds her
nearer that recognition by our own country

when, as President MCKINLEY has said, we

been shown to be enormous. Strange and
unlookedfor events may shorten Cuba's
probation, but her own heroic constancy to
the resolve to be free must soon bring the
peace that waits on independence.
