Attention Is called TO the fact that an
inspection OF the death list OF the Maine
shows that tho men were almos; NIL
Americans. This 10 indicated by the
fact that the great majority are all good
American names. This is contrary to
the popular understanding that in the
makeup OF the United States naval
crews foreign names predominant. It Is
noted by the Philadelphia Press that the
list begins with an Adams and ends
with Whites. Williamscs and Wilson's.
There are Lees and Lcwlses, Gardners
and Grahams. There Is Robinson and
two, Thompsons. several Harrlses, two
Hamiltons, q Talbot and a Lowell"
There are also many names that have
English. Scotch. Irlsh and German derl-
walton. names representing the highest
and best types OF those OF our American
citizens who are OF foreign extraction.
This fact is referred TO for the purpose
OF calling attention to the duty OF the
country under tho melancholy circum-
stances that have arisen. The point Is
that the majority OF this crew OF an
American naval vessel which has come
to such an untlmely end. from what d.
rect cause Is not yet known. was not
composed OF mercenaries gathered up
from among the professional seamen of
all climes. but was composed Of our
countrymen, defenders OF their own flag
and ours, and enlisted in the service Of
their and our own nation.
The government. to be sure. Is not I'M
mindful of this fact. and will not neglect
It's duty in the premises, or It's obliga-
tons to the memory OF these men. But,
Just at this time the government is also
facing the duty OF ascertainlng the re-
epons!bility. lit shall develop that this
responsibility devolves on the Spanish
government in any way. indemnity to

all Likelihood provide for all cases. In
the meantime, however. It should be

Many things are being written Just
now concerning the self control OF the
American people. They are brought out
by the series Of extraordinary events
that have occurred In connection with
the Cuban situation. Twice lately have
there been evidences that the people of
this country have full realization Of The
necessity for observation-disclosures in time
of q crisis. The New York Commercial
Chronicle notes these evidences, and
Gays that since the Presidents message,
two months ago, It has been manifest
that both Congress and the people have
been considering the matter with far
more soberness and intelligence than
they had seemed to exercise in the two
preceding years.
This was shown in the De LONE affair,
z and when, almost simultaneously with
the closing Of that incident. came the
terrible news Of the great national Gala
nifty in Havana harbor. another and far
more excitable strain came to test the
national self-control, the people rs n
whole received 1t in spirit Of calmncss
and sober Judgment. willing to trust to
the man at the helm for the prescrva-
tIon OF the national honor.
The administration at Washington did
not mistake the temper Of the country
in suspending final Judgment as to the
cause OF the disaster until board Of in
Quiry could determine It. This action
was In accord with the attitude OF all
Thoughtful citizens. This craftsmanship
and sclf-control has been noticeable also
In both houses OF Congress. with the ex-
ccptlon, perhaps in the cases OF two or
three individual members. 10 the
course adopted by the Administration,
the only logical and proper course, the
country as whole has given dts sane
tIon. Concerning this phase OF the sltu-
alton our contemporary. referred to
above, comments. in way that correct
ly expresses the true state OF public
feeling, as follows:
No one denies that the Cuban situa-
ton, as affecting the policy OF the United
States. has reached stage which may
become really critical. 1t Ia our double
good fortune under such circumstances.

rectly in the hands Of an executive whose
ucts and words are n pledge OF careful
and sober-mlnded policy. and indirectly
In the hands Of people who wish JUS
ticc. hut not haste or provocation.
Throughout the present session Of Con-
gress the discussion OF the Cuban mat
ter has been on plane In very large
degree removed from the explosive jim
Goism OF n year and 4 half ago. There
has been no organized attempt to revive
the foolish and hollow c1pcdicnt OF "rc-

THE INTELLEGENCER.
WHEELING, FEHuuApY 81. 1898.
Wa,liington's birthday,

The patriotism OF the American people
in every state will be on tap tomorrow.
J for In every state the anniversary OF the
birth OF the Father OF the Country will
be celebrated. There Is no lack OF patriot
Ism at any time, but this year the birth
day OF the foremost American in the
war for the establishment of the rcpub-
lie comes at time when In every Sec
Gon national pride and the true Amcrl-
J. can spirit are more than usually excited
over events that have stirred the heart
OF every citizen, and It will be hardly
possible that the thousands Of public
o5servances throughout the country
will pass OFF without references to the
subject which, coupled with the memory
OF the great man and his great deeds,
will be uppermost In the minds of every
person.
Let US hope that the tributes to Wash
ingtoR. who was first In peace as well as
frs; In war, will not be married by In
diligence In Incorporate language or
sentiment with reference to the crisis
that now exists between this republic
and foreign power. Let the conserva-
tive and self control which has so ad-
mlrably characterized the attitude Of the
President and the people, pending an In
rsstlgation, the result Of which is Of the
very greatest moment, ard which may
mean peace or war. dominate every ut
terance and every demonstration. Let
every expression breathe patriotism but
not intemperance. Let 1t be as Wash
i,ington himself would have 1t, calm, dig
nified and just.
q In this city the day will be observed
In a proper spirit, the chief event being
the presentation of the national emblem
to the chief public educational institu-
ton of the city with appropriate cere-
monies, while the various patriotic or
CARNATIONS and the citizens generally
+ will observe It in various proper ways.
The spirit OF &c will pervade the at
mosphere OF Wheeling, as It will of all
other American communities, and as It
does on but two other national holidays
OF the Observation-Disclosures day and
Memorial Day. The true significance OF
the birthday OF Washington should not,
and the Intelllgencer believes that it
will not, be ignored or forgotten in the
