WON OUT IN THE NINTH.
Giants Capture n Close Game by
Timely Hitting.

Boston. May 6.-The New Yorks won
out again from Boston today in a game
which up to the ninth inning was a pitch
ers battle. Doheny was i'm the box for
New York, and with the exception of one
inning, the eighth, was an unsolvable puz-
zle. He had good control and completely
fooled Bostons heavy hitters, striking
out eight men. After Sullivan had vir-
tually presented the Giants with four
runs In the second inning he was re-
placed by willis, the colt pitcher. The
youngster up TO the ninth was as much
if not more of a puzzle than Doheny,
equaling the formers number of strike
outs in seven innings. The Giants tried
their hand in the first half of the ninth
and won on an error by Tenny and sin

PENSIONS.

Congress is in such dread Of cWJail-
ing the pension list, it still refuses to
prevent raids on the treasury.
The pension laws permitted the min
or children Of soldiers to draw pen
sions. Many Of these minors did not
need the pensions twenty and thirty
years ago. They have grown up since
that time, and are parents themselves.
The terms of the law did not cut them
off from making applications for them
at any time. Applications in great
number are now being made, and the
back pensions are paid in lump sums
which take millions out of the treasury.
Some of the single payments amount
to thousands of dollars. The Commits
sioner Of Pensions objects, but Con
gress viii not listen to him. Direct
taxation viii soon modify public opin-
ion on the subject.

TERMS OF PEACE.

If the abandonment of Cuba, only,
was the price of peace, Spain, after
walking through the fiery furnace of
battle would gladly accept it.
But war and victory have changed
the relations of the parties, and Spain
now deals with a people flushed with
victory: a people who have tasted the
blood of territorial expansion. Peace
must be made while the blood is hot,
and the Judgment more or less clOuded
with angry passions. No true man or
American will claim that he is now, or
can be. able TO look at the situation
coldIy. 1t is not in human nature to
do so.
The awful responsibility rests upon
President Mckinley, with the consent
of the Senate, to make terms of peace
that are honorable and satisfactory.
What may be honorable and satisfac-
tory to the President may not be so
to the Senate. They disagreed serious
ly on the policy of recognizing the
Cuban Government. They may dis
agree more seriously on the terms of
peace.
If the matter of making peace was
wholly in the Presidents hands, he
would undoubtedly suspend hOstilities,
whenever he was satisfied that Spain
would comply with his own terms. But
he cannot suspend them for day, un-
til he knows what terms will suit the
Senate, and the people.
The situation compels him to urge
the war, without relaxation, even If
he feels that peace is in the air. The

The Washington Star, one of the
staunchest newspaper friends Of the
New Hawaii, says this of the flag:
When Hawaii is taken into the body
polite of this Union this flag ceases to
exist as an independent emblem of in
ternational status and the flag of the
Islands viii be the Stars and Stripes.
States Of the American Union often main
tain flags, and territorial banners are on
record. There is no law against this GUS
tom, nor is there any national cognizaHce
of it, nor official recognition of the ex-
istence of state flags. State seals are
recognized i'm the law being appended to
official documents and conveying the
highest symbol of the states action. In
HaWaiis case doubtless some arrangement
may be made to permit the Islands TO re-
tain their flag and seal, and there will
probably be difficulty in satisfying the
desires of the newly annexed citizens in
this respect, especially as their petition
if it be made, will in no sense reflect up
on their straightforward patriotism and
loyalty to their new allegiance"
The Washington Star, although dis
tant some thousands of miles from Ha-
wall entertains some of that old wO-
manish sentimentality' for the flag,
which the Whang Doodle Star of this
city describes as an insufferable weak
ness of the native born. The Washing
ton Star is cOnsiderate and is paper
with sentiments.

situation might be an awkward one, il
the President was not backed by a
majority Of the Senate. If his own
treaty of peace did not suit that body,
and it refused to confirm it, what then
could he do? He, of course, anticipates
all of these difficulties, and will face
them with his usual sense and sagacity.
But whichever way he does, it will
create great antagonism, and we now
venture 10 say, viii enter largely into
the results OF the Fall elections.
