Where the Responsibility Lies.

has come upon the people a natural dispO-
sition to make inquiries concerning the
conduct Of the war. While war was
on, and especially in the early days Of
the struggle, when exposure Of the weak
places might be construed as giving in
formation that might help the enemy,
the newspapers were generally silent;
but it is different now and there is ques-
tioning all along the line.
Naturally the war department comes
in for the greater part Of this. That
there has been ptiab,e failure in some
of the important branches of this most
important department of the govern
ment has been recognized for long
time. Before the war began there was
a disposition to criticise the head of
the navy department for his strong
predictions toward peace, but from
the time war became inevitable. Mr..
Secretary Long provd more than mere
ly equal to the emergencies confronting
him. In the war department, however,
there has been so many mistakes that
there has been a natural tendency to
comparisons. and these have not been
complimentary to ETr. Secretary Alger
From all parts of the country come
these criticisms. Here, for instance IS
The Providence Journal, an eminently
conservative newspaper of great influ-
ence in New England which can safely
be taken as rejecting the sentiment Of
its section The Journal says:
Unless Secretary Alger scrupulously
avoids the newspapers, or unless he IS en-
tirely devoid Of all sensitiveness to criti-
cism. he must be in decidedly unenvfable
az 1Nro,
quarter comes ridicule, sarcasm or invec-
tive directed against his management of
the war department. No matter what
share of the blame may be justly imputed
to his suhordinates, it is recognized that
the burden of the responsibility rests upon
his shoulders. and that to his desire to play
politics the present dsgracefuI condition
Of affairs is mainly due. Nor can the pres
idcut himself be wholly ahsolved from cen
sure. 1t WAS known when Mr.. Alger was
appointed that he was unfit for the place.
and it was said that Mr Mckinley had
hesitated long while before he made the
appointment. Probably if there had been
no war the worst effects OF his mismanage-
ment would not have been felt. But the
strain of military activity mas revealed
all the weaknesses Of a bad system in bad
hands Naturally little was said and many
excuses were made. at the beginning. Now
that the conflict with Spain is practically
over, the inclination to speak out plainly
is less rigidly reprcSSed. Il is recognized
that even the conclusion of treaty Oh
peace will leave The army much to do.
Garrisous must be maintained in distant

What stubbornness Has Cost Spain.

With the close Of hustilities IL be-
comes of interest to review the losses
which Spain has suffered in consequence
Of her refusal to voluntarily withdraw
from Cuba several months ago
First, in possessions, she has lost
every foot of soil over which her flag
streamed in the western hemisphere, in
Guiding b0lh Cuba and Porto Rico; while
in the eastern hemisphere she has lost
one of the Ladrone is.auds, in addition
to being confronted with the prospect
Of losing the Philippines.
Next. in soldiers and sailors, she has
met with tragic losses. In the aggrc-
gate these will closely approximate 5000
men, or noarly ten times the number
lost on the American side, with the
victims of the Maine included in the
calculation. With the fleets sunk at
Manila ard at Santiago. there Were not
less that five hundred lives destroyed,
according to the official figures; while
in the various land engagements which
have occurred in both hcmisrheres since
the opening Of hOstiIitios the losses will
not aggregate less than 4,5O0 killed.
Next in warsbiDs, she has suffered
almost complete annihilation- In ca
pacity hcr warships destroyed in the
course Of the war aggregated 81 S35 tons
and in value $25 900 000. Of these, fifteen
were cruisers. viz, Infanta Maria Teresa,
1000 tons; Vizcaya, 1000 tons; Almirante
O0uondc, 1000 tons; CristObal Colon,
$3.50 tons: IsIa de MindanaO, 3,G75 tons;
Reina Christina. $500 tons; Castillo, $3.50
tons; Reiua Mercedes 5000 tons; Don
Antonia de UIloa 1,160 tons; Don Juan
de Austria. 150 tons; VcIasco 1,150
tons: IsIa de Cuba ! 045 tons; Isa de
LuzOn, 10t5 tons; Nueva Espana 9S5
tons, and Jorge Juan, 935 tons. Only
two of the destroyed warshirs were of
the torpedo variety, viz, FurOr. ESQ tons,
and Pluton, $50 tons; while thirty were
gunb0ats ranging in capacity from thir-
ty-five tons to $50 tons
Next. in treasure, she has lost mil
lions Of dollars. Under this head is
Included only the current expenses nee
essary to carry on operations.
In addition to the losses thus hasti-
" enumerated must be included the loss
es caused by financial depression
throughout the kingdom and by the sac
riftca of national prestige under such
ienOminious circumstances: and when
everything is considered, it IS evident
that Spain has paid grievously for her
stubbornneas in refusing to voluntarily
withdraw from Cuba when she knew or
at least ought to have known that she

Dead Again!

The BURIAL of the silver question goes
merrily on. There has hardly been a
day during the past three years that
we have not been told by the esteemed
gold organs of the east and their cuck
Oos in other parts of the country that
"stlver is dead" Every turn in the
affairs Of the government, foreign or do
nestle, and every event that can be
construed as having any political bear
ing Whatsoever, has been hailed as an
other evidence Of the Great Fact-the
death of silver. That the issue, with
the usty vigor Of youth, persisted in
kicking out of it's ready-made, Sold-plat-
ed coffin made no difference with the
esteemed doctors charged With editing
the Wall street newspapers. They had
said it was dead. and dead it must be,
if they had to keep on killing it every
day.
Especially volumnous and vigorous
have been these declarations Of demise
whenever democrat Of any prominence
opened his mouth to discuss any other
question. Such conduct has been TAX

the doctors For him to think Of any
thing else than the silver question meant
that he had abandoned the position ne

POINTS U A LESSON.

The editor of the Iowa State Regis
ter has published the following brief
extract from the war diary of April Z,
1862:
"Battle of Shilo. Terrible fighting.
Our forces nearly over come. Our reg.
iment thirdly cut to pieces. Most Of
the Twelfth Iowa infantry prisoners,
myself among them. Company A had
thirty-nine men in action, of whom
eight we're killed and thirteen wound
ed. Grand display of bad g%eneralship.
General Grant should be shot for in
competency aud the great sacrifice of
life in this battle"
The editor of the Register says that
when that was written he was q howl
ing youth of twenty but that he has
lived to express his belief that General
Grant was the greatest military com.
mander the world has ever known and
that Shilo vas one of his greatest bat.
