GERMANY'S WAR LORD.

Germany's recent elections show that
the socialists will be strongly repre-
sented in the new reichstag. This IS
not surprising in view of the kind of
government Germany's r-brained
I young Emperor is giving her. His re-
cent remark that the army was
the "chief pillar" of his throne is the
keynote to his rule. That he spoke the
exact truth there can be no doubt what
ever. His imperial seat would hardly
stand without its underpinning of BAY
onets
1t is evident that the style of govern
ment which the war lord" represents
is becoming very irksome to the Ger
man people. The growth of socialism.
the natural reaction against militarism,
shows this. Extremes of government.
such as militarism, beget extremes in
the other direction, such as socialism
and revolution. Socialism would not
be formidable in Germany if the plain
people were recognized to a greater ex-
tent
The German government recognizes
the danger there is in socialism. but it
is taking the worst possible way to
combat it. Instead of conceding some
thing to the just demands of the peo-
pie by tightening the burden of imperi-
alism and thus winning the favor of
the people on whom the government
rests, 1t is proposed to check socialistic
growth by making the imperial burden
complained of heavier. And we are
told that the next reichstag will adopt
measures to restrict the suffrage. This
would be clearly retrogressive step
and would certainly increase the gov
eminent opposition and the growth of
socialism. In fact, mode of govern
ment that is so out of harmony with
the tendencies of the times certainly
cannot be enduring.
No wonder the socialists are gaining
steadily in power. The rule of the war
lord is calculated to boom socialism.

VERY PECKsNIFFIAN.

The talk of snivelling Peckniff of
Fourteenth street about the necessity of
upholding the administration hands in
these war times at the Congressional
elections is not only sickening in it's
contemplate hypocrisy, but, as it has
already been truthfully described, an
insult to every Democrat in Congress
who has supported the administration 8
war measures without question, and
every Democrat who has periodically
volunteered his services 20 MS country
ct tie front
This war is not party question, and
the effort to compass selfish partisan
ends by false and misle2 aiug appeals
to the peoples thoroughly reused patri-
otism is quite worthy of Pecksniff.
Such miserable and sneaKing parti-
sanship, however, can only excite the
deep disgust of decent and patriotic
Republicans and Democrats, to whom
alike it is grossly insulting, for there
are NO such things as Republicans or
Democrats when it comes to a question
of UNFOLDING the flag against a foreign
foe. In that case we all alike are
Americans.
The next Congress will deal with 9TH
er than war measures, and it is of vital
Importance to the welfare of the coun-
try that a Congress be chosen whose
political complexion will guarantee
that the important questions arising
shall be settled in accordance with the
best interests of the country. And this
being the case those interests will best
be served by Congress whose major
itv shall be guided by the Democratic
principles of Jefferson and Jackson.

igan, in an interview on his return

Evidently the administration, or the
strategy board, has finally made up
its mind to deal Spain the knockout
blow of the war by sailing flying
squadron across the Atlantic to attack
SPANS own coast line left unprotected
by the sailing eastward through the
Mediterranean ostensibly for the Phil
ippines, of Admiral Camara's CadiZ
Said the Mediterranean entrance of the
Suez Canal
The reported intentions of both Mad
rid and Washington in this connection,
have generally been regarded until now
as mere strategic bluffs, Spain making a
feint to attack Dewey at the Philippines
of SIMPSONS fleet away from Santiago
with the alluring prospect of her own
unprotected shores to give bottled-up
Cervera a chance to make a last bold
dash for liberty, while Washington has
been suspected of making a feint to at
tack the Spanish coast to prevent this
move.
There has been doubt expressed about
the largest of Camara's ships being
able to get through the .Suez Canal.
on account of lack of sufficient water,
but the chief difficulty they are likely
to experience is lack of coal. 1t is re-
ported that the authorities at Port
Said have refused permission to the
Spanish squadron to coal there. and
there is no other port between there
and the Philippines were they would
fare any better And without coal Ca
mara would be as securely bottled up
so far as getting to the Philippines is
concerned as Cervera at Santiago.
There would be nothing left for him
to do but return home
Still, Madrid expresses no fears on
this ground, and it is openly admitted
that the Philippines is the destination
of the squadron. Sagasta expresses
contempt for the American threat to
attack the Spanish coast, but news
comes OF the active formation of an
other Spanish squadron at Cadiz and
other hurried preparations for home
defense.
Hence, If the sailing of Camara is a
bluff it is well carried out up to date
and bears all the earmarks of the real
thing.
But whether 1t is a bluff or not. the
opportunity is now presented to Wash
ington to strike the most effective blow
Of the war right at SPANS unguarde6
coast. Such an attack would compe
the dons soon to throw up both hands
and surrender. Even supposing Ca
maras squadron should get back il
time to take hand, his vessels would
be no match for the ships we will
send against him. and with the I'M
questioned superiority of American
seamanship and American gunnery i
would in all likelihood be but another
case of Dewey and Montojo.
Such an attack, if it were possible
should have been made long ago. I
has been over q month since Cerver.

bottled himself up by stepping into the
Santiago trap, and nearly month since
Hobson corked the bottle tight with
the Merrimac A swift and vigorous
Dewey-like attack at that time on the
coast of Spain, which might have been
made before the Cadlz fleet was fit for
service would have brought the dons
to their knees in hurry. 1t would
have been grand coup, and, coming
on top of the Dewey victory in the
Philippines, which disheartened Mad
rid it would have rendered Spain ut
terly helpless and ended the war then
and there.
The splendid opportunity for bold
stroke which the administration failed
to take advantage of then is again pre-
scented in quite as attractive form by
the absence from home of the Cadiz
squadron. A swift attack and a red
hot bombardment will do the bust
ness for Spain in short order. and
will incidentally impress the fact
fOrcibly upon the mind of all Europe
that the United States can fight quite
as effectively in European waters as in
Asiatic or American.
Now the administrator oppor-
tnnity to end the war by a brilliant
stroke. And the orders for the
formation of flying squadron
cut Of SIMPSONS fleet and to be COM
manded by Commodore Watson osten-
sibly for this purpose looks as if the
administration finally meant business.
