MEN OF THE WINSLOW

Men who go down in ships to fight for
their country expect to die. When we bid
our boys good bye we hope to welcoma
them back to their homes again. But
the hope is clouded with doubt. Blood
less wars are not to be expected. In the
increasing destructiveness of modern en-
gines of war is the hope of humanity
in eventual universal peace, universal
brotherhood, universal resort to arbitra-
ton of international differences. Our
guns have already desolatsd numercu:
Spanish homes. We can hardly hope tc
altogether escape like punishment. AL
ready five American seamen have gone
down before Spanish breastworks, but
they were facing the foe, defending tn;
flag, sustaining the honor Of their couu-
try, battling for great principle. They
fell in the noblest cause in which men
may engage They died that Cuba may
be free. They died that tyranny in the
western hemisphere may cease. They
died that savagery may be rebuked
They died that a cancerous sore may be
eradicated. They died remembering the
Maine and their oaths to avenge that
awful crime. Hence they have not died
in vain. Let US treasure the memory OF
their heroism, ard-let us not, as nation,
forget the duty we owe to their depend

OUR TRADE WITH THE ORIENT

Private advices from Chicago, received
in this city yesterday, are to the effect
that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad company has perfected arrange
ments for line of steamships to ply be-
tween San Diego and Yokohama, carry
ing passengers and freight, and that the
first departures from either port will not
be delayed beyond the first of October.
The information came directly from
President Ripley and may be depended
upon as authentic, although the details
are for the time being withheld.
The facts are significant, since it indi-
Gates the alertness of transportation
companies and capitalists to the signs of
the times all of which point to vast in
crease in the commerce between the
United States and the nations of the
Orient-especially China, japan and the
Philippines. With our newly acquired
possessions in Asiatic waters we already
do greater business than the aggregate
of all other countries engaged in the
trade. With China our commerce has
been steadily increasing, and with the
Inauguration of direct line of American
steamers between Yokohama and South
ern California, a great impetus. will be
given to the exchange of commodities
with Japan. An undertaking of such pro-
portions would not beentered upon by the
Santa Fe without abundant guarantees
OF adequate support from both ends Of
the line.

many are thoughtlessly inclined to do.
and while yielding to none in apprecia-
ton of what was accomplished, he praises
Dewey rather "for the calm courage and
daring displayed in his decision to enter
q strange harbor at night, under the
guns of many forts, and Drawing, per-
haps, the hidden torpedo or pine." The
execution Of his audacious plan was as
complete. and satisfactory as one could
wish, but Commodore Schley is disposed
to take of his hat to Dewey's genius and
daring in his initiative, rather than to
his handling of the weapons in his hands
after the first dangers had been passed.
The Spanish feet was obviously inferior,
yet the preponderance of advantage was
with the enemy, and Schley concludes
that. with the great daring displayed
by Dewey, there must fall upon his
shoulders the mantle of Perry and Far
ragut." 1t adds to the glory of his
achievement, rather than detracts from
1t, that it was due more to the daring and
genius of his initiative than to the
superior metal strength of his fleet or his
skill in using it.

LESSON OF THE WAR

The army medical corps has made the
anomalous discovery that cigarette
smoking is a preventive of yellow fever,
scurvy and other dread maladies to
which soldiers in the tropics are subject.
and also saves men from death in battle.
1t accomplishes all this by keeping go per
cent of the habitual cigarette smokers
from entering the army, from leaving
their comfortable homes, and hazarding
health and life in the miasmatic atmos-
phere of Cuba and the Philippines. A
celebrated surgeon of Philadelphia, who
examined recruits during the civil war,
and who is engaged in that service now,
declares that the cigarette fiends have
weak hearts and lack the vitality neces-
sary to the good soldier, and only ten per
cent of this class who have volunteered
succeed in passing the physical exami-
nation required. A large number OF
CAPTAIN Steere's artillery company here
were rejected on physical grounds, and
cur dispatches from San Francisco an
nounce that Of the Southern California
contingent in the Seventh regiment one
hundred and fifty-five have been rejected
for the same reason, and are on their way
home. The specific cause is not stated.
and it doubtless varies, but the proba bill
tiles are, in the light of the testimony
Of the Philadelphia authority, that the
deadly cigarette has been abundantly in
cigarette smokers in the civil war were
only thirteen per cent. The increase to
ninety per cent In this war is attributed
to the increase in the use of the paper
cigar. The facts constitute forceful
sermon, a useful object lesson.

GROWTH OF Los ANGELES

The population of Los Angeles, in round
numbers, Is 111,00O, an increase of 5000
over last year. Such is the splendid
showing made by the school census, just
completed, resume of which appears
elsewhere in this paper.
The accuracy of the school censuses
taken in Los Angeles has received the
practical Endorsement of the government
at Washington, and is not questioned,
save, possibly, by envious rivals that can
not hope to remain long in competition
with the metropolis Of the southland.
The census was taken late in the sea-
son this year, after all the winter visitors
had departed. There was no Fiesta in
progress during the taking of the census.
The Herald mentions these facts because
opposite conditions were held by rivals
to figure in the magnificent showing
made last year. This years figures, un-
der the circumstances, cannot be ques-
toned. They show a permanent growth
that is little short of marvellous when the
dry season and the more or less unfavor-
able business conditions are taken into
consideration.
May 1899, ought to see a still larger
growth. The San Pedro harbor should
be we'll under construction; the present
dry season should be followed by year
Of good crops in every branch of agricul-
ture and horticulture. Industrial activ-
ity should have been stimulated by the
improved conditions; the proposed line
to Salt Lake should then be something
more tangible than a railroad on paper
When these enterprises become reality
it will be time for Los Angeles to awaken
to the fact that IL haa manufacturing
and jobbing future before it. We are
doing very we'll now, but we can do much
better in everything that goes to make a
great and prosperous city, if these two
factors are properly cultivated.
For May, 1899, then. let us put the pop
ulation figure at not less than 125, 900, and
see that the city reaches that size. A
continued, harmonious pull in the IA
miliar, irresistible Los Angeles way, will
surely do the business.

Germany's Army on Peace FOOTING

Berlin.-The number of reserves to be
called out this year is greater than IN any
previous year. 1t reaches total of III ,SOO
men, comprising 144,50O infantry, field ar.
tillery and foot artillery and II 900 cavalry,
These reserve men will go through a FOUR
teen days drill. The great maneuvers Of
the standing army will, of course, also take
place, In which two army corps $1,000
strong will be engaged. Apart from these
grand maneuvers every army corus goes
through Its so-called corps maneuvers''
in Its own district. Altogether, therefore,
counting active and reserve soldiers, $780,.
600 men will go into camp this year. and

Big Docks Needed

1t seems a grave incongruity that while
the new naval bill provides for liberal
number of new battleships and other naval
craft, its provision for docks is entirely in
adequate. The necessity and the humilia-
ton of having been obliged to dock the In
diana at Halifax does not appear to have
made sufficient impression upon congress
to induce it to correct the error Of failure
to provide sufficient facilities for the repair
of our ships.-Minneapolis Tribune.

THE ISSUE FAIRLY JOINED

The secretary of the treasury last
month estimated that 1926, OOo,OOO addi-
tional revenue would be required to carry
on the war for the first year.
House Republicans propose to raise the
amount by increasing internal revenue
taxation upon certain articles, and levy
ing a tax upon a number of others not
heretofore taxed since the close of the
civil war; by the issuance of $100, 600, 900
Of interest bearing certificates of indebt-
edness, to run one year, and $500, 900, 000
of interest bearing bonds. redeemable in
ten and absolutely payable in thirty
years, coin" being the money of re-
demption named.
Senate Democrats, Silver Republicans
and Populists propose to raise the re-
quired amount in fundamentally diff
ferent manner, towit: by the taxation of
the gross receipts of corporations one
fourth of one per cent, in addition to the
increase In internal revenue taxes pro-
vided by the Republican measure; by the
coinage Of the seigniorage, and by the
issue Of $15o,o0Oo 900 in greenbacks.

would raise $3.50, 100000 of revenue, the

requirement being 1926. 900, 00O

Spain in the last eighty years has lost
dependencies which embraced three
quarters Of South America. and one-half
of habitable North America, and yet
1t is a lesson from which the Spanish
government and people have derived no
wisdom. Hauteur and, superciliousness
have remained unimpaired, and Spanish
satraps have to the present continued as
rapacious as was ever Roman pro-
consul or praetor. Both people and gov
eminent ought to have learned long ago
that the civilized world has no confidence
in Spanish character or authorities, and
that appeals for assistance fall upon deaf
ears and unresponsive hearts. If any
people are inclined to favor Spain In the
present emergency it Is not from love for
her, but because they are Jealous Of our
growing power.
