AN OCEAN TERROR.

The battle ship Texas was intended
Tor a regular ocean terror, but the
Impression is abroad in the land, if
not on the sea, that she is weak in
construction and an all around fail
ure. This is a great big mistake. The
Texas was. in fact, built by the naval
constructors of the government, and
not by private ship building COM
pany. Her engines were made by a
locomotive building establishment at
Philadelphia 1t took nine years to
build the Texas. During that time
private shipyards turned out for the
government some thirty vessels. some
of which were nearly twice the size
and four times the fighting capacity Of
the Texas. A year ago, while at the
Brooklyn navy yard an Injection
valve collapsed and the shin cara
near sinking. She would have sunk
had she been at sea It was. there

dock. Similar troubles with injection
pipes have happened TO other vessels
The one in the Texas broke from over
tightening. The result was much crit
icism in the newspapers directed
against the naval department con-
structors. One consequence was TO
give the Texas the reputation Of an
unlucky ship. Sailors are supersti-
tious. When a ship has a bad name
they dread being on board OF her. and
are willing TO believe that she is
destined to misfortune. The trouble
with the Texas was really a piece of
good luck. 1t happened al exactly the

ship. The matter was at once correct-

of humanity, have been fired.

the hole in the bottom of Spain is ex-
amined it will be found to bulge upward

Tuesday morning at 2:43. con-
stitute one of the great landmarks OF his
tory. They recite that Cuba is and ought

that when the war is over Cuba, and not

Ingalls, On MOrriII.

| He enters his eighty-ninth year in the

er than Gladstone. who waits in pain and
anguish the summons to cross the from
tier Of the dark Kingdom of Death. He
is five years older than Bismarck, whose
knowledge of the guilty secrets Of empires
makes monarchs tremble IN their capitals.
He is nine years older than Queen Vic
toria, the splendor Of whose jubilee have
gone with the pageants OF Ninevah and
Tyre. He is a year younger than Secre-
tary Thompson, the veteran statesman of
Indiana, who has seen every president but
Washington. Had Lincoln survived he
would have been year older than Sena-
tor Morrill,. He is thirteen years older than
Secret ary Sherman. He was past his ma
jority at the birth of Garfield, who has
been dead seventeen years. and was in
the maturity of manhood when Mckinley
was born James Madison was president
in 1910; our population was 1900 900; Gin
cinnat was a squalid hamlet and the
name Of Chicago was not written on the

WHAT THE sPANIARp BELIEVES

The Spanish people have but a vague
conception of the power of the great
American republic. Upon the other
hand, the average American little
comprehends the fighting qualities of
the Spaniard. When it Genes to do
ing battle, the Spaniard is a hero by
heredity. The Spanish naval officer
who the other day declared that no
Spanish war vessel would be captured
or taken in this war, meant just what
he said. He and his like would go to
the bottom in preference. The Span
lard, while holding treachery the thing
IN warfare, is, nevertheless, a stickIer
for honor. But the average Spaniard
does not comprehend how a former
province Of that country has grown
in hundred years to be greater than
the mother country. They won't be-
heve 1t, nor be convinced, except in
defeat. Sagasta knows, and the gov
eminent knows. but Sagasta, a man
of peace, is absolutely in the hands
Of the political leaders Of Spain. Our
people can understand this from the
fact that there has been more war
spirit in congress among the politi-
clans than anywhere else, among the
men who will do the voting and not
the fighting. The politicians of Spain
call for war without compromise. The
masses sympathize with the army and
the government and believe what their
teachers tell them about those Cow
ardly whelps, the Americans, who
have no soul above money" They
firmly believe US a nation Of towards
and that it viii be a comparatively
easy task for a Spanish army of in
Vasion to make an all-conuuering
march from the Pacific seaboard TO |
the Atlantic coast There are hun
dreds of men in Madrid today who
honestly believe that within the next
two years Spain will either control or
dictate the government of the United |
States. There are hundreds more who
believe that before the end of this wear
the Spaniards will have forced the |
city Of Greater New York to pay an |
enormous tribute in order to avoid to-
tai destruction.

Last Tuesday was widely patriotic dav
IN Caldwell When the Wichita Eagle
reached this city. and the news was
spread that congress had passed the Gu
ban resolutions, business was practically
suspended. Flags and bunting were
placed n front OF business houses and
private residences and carriages, b!cy-
cles. etc, were decorated with the national
colors. In the afternoon a parade was or
gained, a large cannon improvssed for
the occasion BY Frank Williamson and
drawn by four horses, being q special
feature. The brass band. under the lea
dership Of Wiley Youmans. played ma
uonal airs and led the procession over
town. John Nyce acting as captain. The
procession gathered in front OF Aforrisou's
tailor shop, he having prepared : beauti-

WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED.

Whether the war amounts to much
or not, the American people know a
great deal more about some things
than they did three months ago. They
know, for instance, that it does not
necessarily take months to put a
measure through congress; that that
body can, when it will, respond to a
demand of the people in a very few
hours Another thing is now generally
known that was not understood but
by few, and that is that a president
can not declare war, that while the
chief executive may recognize a rebel
lion or belligerency in a foreign land,
he cannot rush the United States into
war, or withhold it from war. The
people as a whole know more about
feudal castles and palaces, of song and
romance, Spain, no longer the worlds
center Of attraction and of power.
They know more about the cowardly
pusilanimity Of the diplomatic service
which is kept up by the nations at
such an enormous expense AS for the
naval arm Of the government, Of sea-
fights and the like, the pIow boy has
turned sailor. We have learned all
about squadrons, torpedoes. mines,
battle ships, cruisers armed and plated
or otherwise, of dispatch boats, maya
zines, guns and different kinds Of pow
der, of coast Notifications, relative
strength of navies and what not of
naval facts and sailor lose. All this
talk, in fact, has been far reaching
and of practical educational force. !
Hereafter people will stop to think |
before criticising a president who |
holds out against congress in any'in- |
ternational affair, because they have |
learned that the president knows |
he afirms, while congress only
knows what it gets and guesses at
through public rumor, and the news
papers, principally the newspapers,
whose editors are next to the execu-
tive officials better informed on cur
rent events.
