RUsSlA'S FRIENDSHIP.
We Have Only One Newspaper Friend on
the Continent of Europe.

London, April 24.-With an important
exception there is general continental
condemnation ofsthe United States today.
This exception emanates from Russia.
The st. Petersburg Viedomosti treating
of Russia's attitude toward the United
States says:
s'The friendship that has existed for
many years between the two states ex-
cludes every idea of an unfriendly atti-
tude upon the part of Russia at the pres
ent iunoture."
The Viedomosti adds:
"No doubts the United States now
values this friendship more than ever.''
The other continental papers continue
their bitter hostility and the London Sun
day papers contain many indications of
unfriendliness. Thus the Sunday Sun
while in one place over L. P. O'Con-
America, in another paragraph, referring
to the New Castle Chronicles attack on
America, says:
"Though it will be be difficult for ev-
eryone to agree with him, especially
where the writer's vigor leads him to
partial blindeness, regarding Spain S
atrocities, yet there are few in England

denunciation of America shilly shally-
ing in seeking to give the world a motive
other than the real one for the Cuban
agitation.''
The New Castle Chronicle says:
SIT is not humaniarism9 in. heroics,
it is hypocrisy in histories.
A dispatch from Paris to the Sunday
Special reads:
18Th American methods of dealing
with lin hor Tod mn nj INN In,
dignation Francs will not let Spain go
down without a helping hand. The con-
siderations for prompt, active Interior
ence upon her part are many from the
point of view of self preservation. The
Monroe doctrine must be cOmbated. The
hundreds of millions of French capital In
vested in Spain must be protected and
the Latin race must be upheld against the
Anglo-Saxon. The army has been under
a cloud lately and would be glad of a
diversion. Finally French prestige would
be fully restored by the step, which would
meet with the approval of Russia. Aus
tria, Italy and even Germany. The same
paper profess to have information that
Chilli is likely to attack San Francisco
working in conjunction with Spanish
attack upon the eastern coast.
days departure of troops from Madrid
says;f There was a scene of remarkable
enthusiasm, women marching with the
soldiers filling their pockets with cigars,
provisions and money and kissing them
at the station. Senators, deputies and
numerous representations of the nobility
bid the troops farewell.
:" The sending of such quantity Of troops
to the Canary and Balearic islands is
causing much wonder in Madrid and it is
suggested that Spain fears that while en-
gagged in war with the United States
other complications might arise which
would endanger those possessions. ,"
The Portland daily press., 1898-04-25

1hs Spaniards are an emotional
people, ard just now they are full OF en-
thusiasm and patriotism. But enthusiasm
aud patriotism, though valuable
auxiliaries, cannot be relied upon to win
victories. The French were. full of enthu-
saism when they started on their mad
march to Berlin, but in a few short
months they were completely routed and
their capital. was in the hands of the
Germans. Modern warfare is largely a
question of resources. 1t is the staying
power which counts in the end. A nation
crippled as Spain is, Epor in resources,
and destitute of foresight, as the Spanish
have almost always shown themselves,
no matter what it's enthusiasm, is GER
tain in the end to reap nothing but
disaster in contest with patton of the
strength and resources of the United
States. The words of Senior DE Lome's
famous letter, Poor Spain" were pro-
phetic. Her statesmen see, if her masses
do not, that she is rushing hsadlong into
an unequal contest, from which she can
issue only with the loss of her remaining
possessions on this continent. with her
people impoverished and an internal
revolution on her hands.

barrassing and in the emergency which
has now arisen and which can hardly
pass without compIicating US with foreign
powers. it might prove disastrous. Hence
the report that Mr.. Sherman will resign
that Judge Day will succeed him, though
there is feeling in some quarters that
in view of the exceedingly important in
ternational questions that are likely to
arise somebody of wider experience and
more thoroughly versed in international
law would be preferable.

American port. Her captain was warned
shat Spanish cruisers would attempt to
intercept him, and has probably kept a
keen lookout. No Spanish cruiser afioat
could catch the Paris, as she is one of the
fastest vessels on the Atlantic. Barring
accident to her machinery or the acct
dental encountering of Spanish vessel
in thick weather she will get over all
right.

The first call of volunteers in the civil
war was for nine months. and the gov
eminent was greatly embarrassed when
their.terms expired. 1t was then realized
that great mistake was made in fixing
SO short time of service. The lesson
then learned has not been forgotten, and
President McKinley's call is for volunteers
to serve two, years unless sooner dis
charged. 1t is hoped, and probably ex-
pected now, to end the war long before
that period has expired, but nothing can
be predicted with less certainty than
the duration of war, and the govern
ment has acted wisely in fixing two years
as the time OF possible service.

The Hen. John Sherman has never been
more than the nominal head of the State
Department, the actual responsibility for
its conduct falling upon Judge Day, the
assistant Secretary Of State, who before
appointment to that position was a
lawyer practicing his profession in Can

man was the official head Of the depart.

reason of the decline of his intellectual

In providing for the additional revenue
that the war with Spain will require
Congress has relied entirely upon in
ternal revenue taxes. The customs duties
have been changed in no particular, and
no articles have been added to the revenue
list. Duties on tea and coffee were con-
templated originally, but there was so
much opposition that they were aban-
doned. Spirituous liquors and tobscco
will furnish a considerable part of the
additional revenue, while stamp taxes ON
kilograms, bonds and various legal docu-
ments will supply the remainder. The
selection of internal taxes instead of reve-
nue. duties is probably wise, as the
former can be depended upon more GER
tainly to produce the revenue estimated
to be needed. The choice of articles appear
to bn judicious, and will bear as lightly,
probably, upon the masses as any selection
TINT could have been made. just how
much revenue will be needed must be at
present largely matter of conjecture, for
nobody can tell how long the war will
last or how expensive it will be. Later on
it will. very likely, be necessary to hunt
up new sources of revenue.

The navy department. has now very
properly adopted the policy of secrecy
with regard to the movements and their
purposes of our naval vessels, and hence
the object of tho hurried departure of the
Columbia and Minneapolis from Hamp-
ton Roads can only be surmised. 1t may
be pretty good guess that one of them
has gone to convoy the Paris across the
Atlantic, and then again it may not.
