their years permitted 1t, rather be in the
field with their scabbards empty and their
thoughts fixed exclusively on war? War
they always did abhor, but while war was
raging they never lectured on peace. or
talked to schoolboys or anybody else about
wars horrors. In war times they talked
war and made war. They advocated peace
with full muzzles and sharp swords. Later.
when peace by such means had been Sc
cured. they dwelt upon it's beauties and
urged that 1t be preserved.
Mr.. Cleveland is famous for doing the
unusual thing. The day of Mr.. Mckinley s
inauguration was fair and beautiful. There
was not a cloud on the horizon. But when
Mr.. Cleveland emerged from the White
House to escort his successor to the Cap
itol to be sworn in he was observed to be
carrying an umbrella! So now, when war
is on, and is the talk of everybody else,
Mir. Cleveland talks peace.

The Attack Upon Santiago.

The country should not expect great re-
suits too quickly from the arrival of the
American troops Off Santiago. The first
stage only of the invasion has been passed.
The real work is yet before the army and
the navy, and it will be unwise for the
people of the country to look for the fall
of the city and the rout of the enemy
within a DAY or two. The Spanish forces
now concentrated in and around Santi
ago are sufficiently numerous and well
armed to be reckoned as formidable foe.
The fighting that has taken place thus far
| at Guantanamo has shown that while their
| craftsmanship is relatively poor the Span
ish soldiers are brave and fight stobbornly.
| The success OF an inferior number of ma
| rines and Cubans against the assaulting
enemy has perhaps led to belief that
this spectacle will be repeated in all the
subsequent efforts of the invaders. This
may be true. yet 1T is unsafe to estimate
with absolute reliance upon an equation,
inspired largely by patriotic enthusiasm,
which places two Americans as equivalent
to three or four Spaniards.
The leaders of the present expedition
are presumably planning to proceed with
such caution will practically ensure un-
broken success. First will come the de-
barkation, a process that may require sew
eral days and cannot under any circum-
stances be hurriedly undertaken, in view
of the. presence in the immediate neighbor-
hood Of large numbers of the enemy's $
troops. The ships will aid materially in
making the landing safe by sheiling the
shores and surrounding forests and brush,
but even then the American soldiers may
be required to fight to retain their foot
hold before they begin to advance upon
the stronghold of the Spaniards Nor is
1t to be expected that the commanders
of the forces at the front or their superiors
in this city will take the public into their
confidence as TO their plans and maneuvers,
and thus certain moves designed solely for
preliminary purposes may be mistaken by
the people at home for the main advance.

Mr.. Cleveland ExtoIs Peace.

At little place called Lawrencevilie, in
New Jersey, Mr. Cleveland yesterday par
ticipated in some local school exercises
He delivered an address on the subject of
Good Citizenship" At any rate the ad-
dress was so advertised. 1t really was a
disquisition against war and in glorifica-
tion of peace.
1t is an easy matter to agree with Mr.
Cleveland when he takes the platform on
such occasions as that OF yesterday So
much of what he then said has SO often
been said-is SO little the subject of con-
troversy anywhere. Men living in a free
country should lovs the country. The good
citizen is the watchful citizen who bears
his part of the public burden. II the coun-
try Is to be well served in office the people
must elect good and capable men to Office
And so on. Nobody but humorist lsad-
ing for bit Of fun would dispute these
things
Mr.. Cleveland quotes General Grants
phrase, Let US have peace General
Sherman's phrase, WAR Is helI.' and a
phrase Of Gensral Sheridan expressing a
horror OF war. They were great soldiers
and sincere men. They felt all that they
said But does anybody suppose that Il
thsy were living today they would be dss
canttnx upon peacs7 Would they not. Il

No POstDOuement.

The proposition that vote on the New
lands resolution be postponed until given
day next session is, as The Star stated
last week, a device Of the enemy. There
is no good reason for postponement what
ever. Tine votes are now ready in numbers
sufficient to pass the resolution, an emer-
gency is now added to the desirableness of
annexation on general principles, and I'M
m mediate action ought to be taken. Why
therefore should any senator who really
favor5 annexation consent to postpone
ment?
1t is asserted that an agreement exists
which will bring about adjournment WITH
out action. Who made it? What are its
terms? What is the history of it? Such
an agreement, If it exists, is an important
matter. Who essayed to speak for thu an
nexationists, and why? Who represented
the other side, and precisely what assur-
ances did they receive? The country will
he interested in knowing all about a COM
pact having for it's object the defeat of a
measure which the President and his mill
tary and naval advisers regard as of the
highest Importance in connection with the
national defense at this time. Too full
particulars about such an agreement could
scarcely be obtained.
1t is to be hoped, too, that Mr.. Jones of
Arkansas will continue his policy of having
a roll call every now and then. In that
way the country will be kept advised of
just how many senators are in attendance
on their duties at time when the United
States expects every senator to do his
duty. This is such time Lord Nelson
once described to his English sailors. And
If senators begin to drop away and delay
business the newspapers will be able to
supplement the news contained in the roll
calls and give the addresses of those who
may happen to be out of town, and why.
Lounging at the shore or at mountain
resorts, or drawing fish from well-filled
pools, or mending political fences at home
will hardly be in order while the New
lands resolution remains undisposed of here.
Let us have an early vote. The country
desires and expects it and will be benefited
by it. And the vote is ready to be recorded.
Evening star., 1898-06-22

The Senate has this year been unable to
hold to its amendment to the District ap-
preparation bill providing for an increase
i'll the police force and there is no prospect
that the need for an enlargement of this
force that is SO seriously felt as the city
expands will be satisfied this year unless
by deficiency appropriation. Yet the fact
of the inadequate size of the force Is con-
stantIy being demonstrated. The other
night burglars entered house in a well
populated suburb, within pistol shot of
the city's imaginary boundary, and carried
off valuables after binding some of the
occupants with red pepper. The next night
a citizen while returning home from his
Office was waylaId by foot-pads In one of
the smaller parks and knocked into uncon-
sciousness. his assailants robbing him of his
money. These two instances are but sam
pies of those that are constantly coming
to light to cause the citizens TO continue in
an apprehensive frame of mind. Washing
ton is well lighted and with q sufficiently
large police force there is a minimum of
opportunity for the burglar OF the high
wayman to conduct his operations unnoted.
The present relatively small force is re-
quired to patrol very large area and on
the heights where the pepper-throwing af-
fair occurred the ratio OF dirsct protection
is so small that the thief or house-breaker
has an exceptional opportunity to do his
work in safety from interruption by the
police. The same Is true of other subur.
ban sections and in measure Of the city
itself as we'll The recent tendency of the
city to spread over large areas outside OF
the old boundary has not been accompanied
by corresponding increase in the mum
bers Of the police and this has put the sx.

House VIII Not Recede.
ashington Dispatch to New York Herald

Adjournment Of the session without ac-
tion cannot be accomplished without the
concurrence of the House of Representa-
tives, and il is not probable the House will
recede from its determination to force al
issue. The course of democratic leaders in
attempting to unite their party in opposi-
tion to annexation, and to discipline repre-
sentatiyes who voted for the resolution
after the caucus declared it ought to be op-
POSED, would have the effect of uniting re-
publicans all the more solidly in their de-
termination to secure the adoption of the
resolution this session. They can go to the
country in the campaign next fall with an
nexation accomplished, and can argue that
1t was a republican measure, carried
through in spite Of the opposition of the
democratic party.

Everlasting Disgrace and Political
Ruin.

Everlasting Disgrace and Political
Ruin.
From the New York Sun.
This plar of campaign is shameless and
INFAMOUS. Pettigrew cares nothing for that
however Mr. White cares nothing for it.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas cares nothing for it,
The personal motives of these three guer-
rilia chieftains, honest or dishonest, philo-
sophical or selfish, respectable or mercen-
ary, are so strong that, one and all three
they would rather see Dewey driven out OF
Manila than witness the raising of the
American flag upon the pole from whic h
Paramount Biount hauled it down at the
order of Grover Cleveland. 1t is probably
not too much to say that Pettigrew, White
and Jones would prefer that the present
war with Spain should come to an in
glorious conclusion rather than that their
own guerrilla war against American inter
ests should be terminated by the constitu-
tonal process of the orderly assertion of
the will of the majority in Congress.
Senator Frye of Maine was perfectly right
when he warned the conspirators that their
obstructive tactics will be met with un-
n1nchinS and indefatigable resistance. 1t IS
absurd that this corporaFs guard of guer-
r1las which Pettigrew, White and Jones are
able to muster should be permitted to nul-
lify the will of Congress and of the nation
by preventing a vote in the Senate. vote
on the Newsand's resolution must be had
if the Senate and Congress Is held in session
all summer by White. Jones and Pettigrew
Surrender to this gang would be everlasting
disgrace to the majority collectively, and
political ruin to the individual senators
whose cowardice or selfisnness rendered it
possible.

Events Have Crowded Out Incidents
From the Phladelphia INQUIRER

The war has dozen one thing. Aside from
its demonstration that there is as much
heroism, or more. in the United States al
there ever was, it has obscured the freaks
in a most delightful fashion. Who knows
where Eugene v. Debs is now? Who cares
whether CoXey is stopping in his caravan
or at the best hotels? Who pauses to think
whether Mrs Lease Is alive, dead or SOM
nolent? No tears are shed over the silence
of Tom" Watson, and Corbett and Fitz-
simmons are as Nightmares of the past.
Not a soul even stops to ask of Andree. the
intrepid voyager to the north pole by the
aerial route. The very names of Tillmap
and Altgeld are dim as memories of a sum-
mers dream. The day of incident is over.
The time Of events Is here.

What the Philippines Produce.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Our new islands, the Philippines, rank
well as revenue producers. The sugar pro-
duction for 1897 Is estimated at over 800 ,OOC
tons. They will yield about $500 tons OF
coffee per annum. The total export of
hemp per annum is nearly 100000 tons
They are exporting about IL 900 tons of leaf
tobacco, nearly 10000. 600 cigars, and near.
ly 1900 tons Of copra. a secies of cocoanut
These are the five leading products. and IN
these may be added maize, sweet potatoes
yams. ground nuts. gourds, Irish potatoes
peas. and all the tropical fruits and plants
