We do not believe that anything like

ernment and President Mckinley be-
cause he does not make a special ex-

want to see an end of 1t.
The principal contention on the part
Of certain political colored people who

which is not true There are regular
and immune regiments open to them,
and it must be said that they are filling
them as fast as they can get the chance
and pass the rigid examination neces-
sary to the wearing of the blue. Again
there seems to be a widespread idea,
fostered by misinformed Leaders" ="
that the President has it in his power
to accept negro regiments with their or
ganizations and officers intact as they
may choose TO offer them. Not a white
regiment has been accepted upon any
such terms since war was declared
Every man who enters the service
must do so individually and voluntarily
The officer of a militia regiment has no
more right to demand volunteer com
mission than any other man who might
be picked up on the street. That is a
matter solely for the consideration Of
the military authorities.
Probably much of the turmoil has
been occasioned bya total misapprehen-
sion of-the conditions. 1t should cease
at once, because, when the nation is at
war there is neither time nor patience
for such nonsense. The cOlored people
of this country owe great deal to its
willingness to elevate them, to spend
money for their education and to afford
them every reasonable chance for the
future. They should hesitate before
making themselves obstructive and dis
agreeable. If they want to fight for

Captain and Acting Rear Admiral
Sampson has reported that he has si-
lenced the batteries at Santiago with
Vut less Of life. Press Dispatches state
that he has not only done so success
fully, but has inflicted great slaughter
and damage upon the enemy. If all this
be true we are glad TO know that some
thing az last has been done TO redeem
our arms in Western waters. At the
same time. prudence admonishes US TO
wait and learn whether the latest bonn
bardment of Santiago has been a real
ly effective action, or is to be classified
with the lurid chrome attack and re-
pulse at San Juan.
We are unable to forget that the Off
cial report OF the Porto Rican fasco
represented it as having resulted in the
demolition of the defenses. The truth
when it came TO hand, showed that
hardly any destruction had been
wrought beyond the dismounting of a
few guns, and the killing of some nom
combatants in the city Of San Juan
We think we are justified in hoping that
the farce has not been repeated at San
tiago. and that the Spaniards actually
have been punished 10 some extent.

PREPARING FOR THE END.
Senator Chandler Introduces aI
Important Amendment.

Senator Chandler proposes that the SEN
ate shall put itself in a position to deal
with the various questions thai are likely
to arise from the existing war with Spain
and yesterday introduced resolution in
the Senate as follows, which was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Relations:
Resolved, That the Committee on Foreign Re-
lations lie and hereby is directed to conduct such
inquiries as may be deemed advisable concerning
all the questions arising out of the present in
relation to foreign governments and the rights
and obligations of this Government connected
Herewith, and also concerning such facts the
committee may deem it expedient to investigate;
said committee to have the power to meet dur
ing the sessions of the Senate and during the
coming recess of Congress; to act as full com
mittee or through subcommittee, and to summon
and examine witnesses.
There is nothing out of the usual order
in my resolution" said Mr.. Chandler, Il
have introduced il because 1 think it is
pertinent to the present situation. 1t is
probable that the Congress will adjourn
soon and while Congress is not in session.
there may come an offer of peace from
Spain. The Senate, which is part of the
treaty making power. and which, together
with the President, will approve of the
treaty of peace, when it Is made, should
have representative body in position to
need be- and to keep the Senate posted
when it shall be again convened.
THE new conditions which are in front
of us may cause an outcroppthg of sew
eral questions along lines that have not
hitherto been a part of our national policy
and the proper committee ought to be in
session to consider these questions Ny
resolution is merely intended to keep
the machinery of the Senate in motion,
so far as it may relate to any question
growing out of the war and our relations
with other powers"

OH. sugnr rna war nrrenue.


While the war revenue bin was before
Congress, it was noticeable that the
trusts and monopolies avoided oppo-
sition. This did not surprise anybody.
because it has been too notorious in
Washington for several years that in
fuences Of this kind save their powder
until they can fire il al a committee Of
conference between the two houses.
The war revenue measure having
reached that stage, there is a sudden
display Of activity by the oil and sugar
lobbies and the usual arguments are
being prepared to show that while all
other interests in the United States
should pour out their treasure and blood
in support Of the Government at a
time OF war. oil and sugar ought to be
exempt, on the principle that churches
are, because they are strictly charitable
and religious Institutions which end0w
denominationaI schools and furnish
martyrs for persecution in the District
jail
Our sympathies go out to good ana
godly men like tie Havemeyers and
Searleses. and John d. and William
Rockefeller. Why should they be taxed
TO support a war the results of which
viii be disagreeable TO them2 Why
should they be asked to give up good
money in furtherance of a movement
which viii annex Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippines. and thereby cut
down their annual millions OF unearned
profit by a few thousand dollars? From
their Benedict Judas Arnold point Of
view il is all wrong.
This oppressive war revenue bin
would tax all their little winnings, two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars d
year being exempted TO start with, IL
the awful rate Of One-quarter Of one per
cent ca their sross incomes. We may
conceive what the profits must Be
which they wiring from the people.
when it is estimated that even this ri
diculous small tax would net the Gov
eminent a million dollars annually. In
other words, sugar and oil would b..
compelled in q whole year to pay the
total war expenses of the nation for
about eight hours.
We are not at ali sure that the elo-
quent and seductive gentlemen who are
here to buy unlimited wine and lose
thousands at poker viii not accomplish
something in behalf Of the trusts. They
yet have the memory Of their Dingley
bin triumph fresh in memory. and will
be encouraged TO superhuman and
financially liberal exertions. They carry

nlcKinIcY and Rr,nn

Possibly there is more ink being
wasted over the patriotic desire of Mr..
William Jennings Bryan to go to the
front as a fierce colonel from Nebraska
than there is any occasion for. 1t is
nothing strange. MIR. Bryan is a
naturally forceful leader of men in a
way. He demonstrated that by polling
six and a half million votes for Presi-
dent of the United States, and that he
is brave citizen and ready if need be
10 lay down his life for his country no
sane man will question.
Before We consider subject which
we think requires some attention, we
will pause to observe that, intrinsically,
the idea of making a lifelong civilian
like Mr.. Bryan the commander of a
fighting regiment would not have oc-
CURED to us, and We do not believe thai
BIr. Mckinley likes it Both he and we
are estopped from finding any particu-
lar fault, however, since the gentle
man who earned distinction as a civil
service commissioner was made the
titular deity of a corps OF amalgamated
cotillicn cowboys and the gilded sons
of contributors TO the campaign fund
OF 1886 were commissioned as lieuten-
ant colonels majors and captains of
technical staff departments.
As these other things have been done
We must remark TO our revered friend
in the White House that it is sixteen
TO hot +kn
Bryan is entitled to high military rank
on his civil record, if the Grant. Sar-
toris, AsTor, Alger. Hobart and other
boys are. So, We will dismiss that
branch of the argument and observe
that the colonelcy of his late opponent
We were in his place it would give US
pleasure.
There is another view to take of the
case which we are sure has not dawn
ed upon the President, but which seems
TO have filled some of his superserv,ce-
able underlings with fieadish joy 1t is
that the Nebraska man might be
eliminated as a political factor in 1850,
by sending him TO the Philippines for
the next two years. That would be the
worst kind Of policy. because it would
bear the impress of petty partisan spite
There is not a question that, when Mr.
Bryan becomes a colonel like any
other Of the eminent characters who are
entitled to lead troops to danger ard
TO death. because Of their military ex-
perience at the bar or bargain counter,
Mr.. Bryan win be subject TO orders
and properly compelled to go where he
shall be directed. 1t IS not the colonel
but the CommaHder-in-Chief that we
are thinking Of in the premises.
In short, we are engaged in strug
gle which makes it intensely desirable
ihat all Americans should feel conf
dence in the President, and hold him in
honor. That could not be if he were
capable of playing small and dirty poll
tics on his late presidential antagonist
/ and ne will not do it.

Several members were ready with re-
quests for unanimous consent to consider
pet measures. but the regular order was
demanded and consideration of the con-

resumed. Good progress was made.
The significant feature Of the proceed

the Appropriations Committee. He set

amendments, Members of both sides
were interested in the several amend
ments antagonized Mr.. Cannon. as the
propositions came up seriatim and de-

was bowled over repeatedly.
Finally. after several hours debate. on
motion of Mr.. Cannon. the House insisted
on its disagreement to certain amend
ments and asked for a further confer
ence. Messrs. Cannon, Stone and Sayers
were appointed conferees.
The bill to enable volunteer soldiers to

again taken up. 1t was debated for more
than an hour and without reaching any
conclusion the House adjourned until u
