She pinned rose upon his blouse
And kissed him long and sweet.
The order rang, the ranks were formed
and moved adown the street.
For some must act and some must cheer,
And some with tears are blind
Which braver-those who haste away,
Or those who stay behind!
While Yankee tars on Yankee ships

And boys in blue on land and sea
Her sovereignty proclaim
Each shot strikes hearts whose tender

God pity those behind.

And many a lass is wan,
And many father dreams OF Gays

With. duty stern combined,
Heigh-Ao, there's much for those who

FOLLOWING THE CALL.

"A was foreseen and announced yesterday, the / enterprise of The Call in running special
 trains to deliver the news in response to the demand of popular excitement over the destruction of the Maine has forced our morning contemporaries Tn this city to follow example. Thus even that portion of the public that does not read The Call has benefited by its zeal in the service of journalism and gets the news more promptly because or the lead The Call has given to its rivals
 It goes without saying contemporaries will loudly boast of their enterprise in this matter, can they be wholly condemned for doing, since 1t requires unwonted energy on their part to keep up with The Calls leadership. They have in this n- stance acted with some vigor, being only two days later than The Call in providing the special service of trains to carry the news to the eager readers throughout the State This is subject of just con- graduation the part of the public, for as all per cannot be expected read The Call 1t IS grati flying that the other morning papers of the city have been reused up to circulate their editions more rapidly i'll all parts of the State
 In the meantime The Call goes ahead with its own task of providing California with the best and promptest newspaper service the State has ever had It sends out special trains for the purpose of ad vertisng itself nor for the purpose of engaging in journalistic rivalry, but in response to legitimate demand of the people for that kind of service at this tre.
 The situation of our Government in relation to Spain is critical. No one yet toresee the out Every patriot necessarily feels an intense 1n- erest in the crisis, and all who desire to have an 1n- elligent comprehension of national affairs are eager to learn as speedily as possible each item of news each succeeding event and every additional piece of information concerning this momentous issue To supply that information is the duty of a newspaper, and The Call, by its bulletins, and its special trans to Monterey San Jose, Marysville, Sacramento Woodland Ukiah, Fresno and all intermediate points, is performing service which the people have right to expect of it and which they may count on, not only in this emergency, but in every other that may arise
 Whenever there is need for special trains or special bulletins keep the public posted on the de- veopment of events which rightly engage the atten- ton of the people to great an extent, The Gall will furnish them. We get the first, we get 1t the most accurately, and is determination that the readers of The Call shall have the same advan tage and receive it before the readers ot any other naDer on the coast

IN MEMORIAM.

I N memory of the brave men who went down with
 the Maine in that fearful catastrophe at Havana
 the State and the people of California will fly their flags at half-mast to-day This public manifestation of sorrow will not be perfunctory ceremony Rarely has any widespread community been more uni versally or more profoundly affected than ours has been over this dread calamity which, whether caused by accident or by treachery is one of the most startling that ever befell nation in time of peace
 It is no idle sorrow that stirs the American people in this tragedy. Deep the feeling of grief itself is the stern resolution of the nation that the of the disaster shall be sought out with the most scrutn izing care and avenged if vengeance be called for Out of the incident will come departure in the course of dealings with Spain. A great people aroused by so fierce shock this will not hesitate and wait indefinitely until procrastinating diplo- macy can put the issue by. All our controversies with Spain have been suddenly and startlingy forced to the front by the explosion that wrecked the Maine and it is the universal judgment of the people that some settlement of them should be reached with out further dallying delay
 The United States has shown most considerate regard for the weakness and internal troubles Of Spain Her offenses against the United States have been palliated and condoned again and again. No administration has sent to her an utnatum short 
 Britain to an abrupt halt in her aggressons on Venezuela What we would not tolerate in the greatest naval power the globe we have permitted to Spain We have shown this long patience because of the weakness of the opponent but to continue 1t would be to show weakness part by practicing patience that had ceased to be virtue.
 Spain has been given ample time to settle the troubles in Cuba either by granting the demands ot the patriots or by establishing peace through the force of her arms Nothing, however, has been ac- complished The Spanish rulers have neither had the wisdom to submit wisely to that which they could not overcome nor the strength to master that to which they are unwilling to submit Lacking the states
 anshp required to recognize the inevitable and the military skill necessary to compel obedience, they have kept this American island in a continuous dis trbance for years and threaten to destroy its cvl- ration altogether if something is not done to pre- vent.
 These facts have been known for years, and the American people have regarded them with lmpa- tience The catastrophe Havana has merely reused to swifter action a public sentiment long since formed The Maine, therefore, has not gone to wreck in van nor have her sailors perished without rendering service their country They have reused patriotic resolution the point of action, and the flags at haf-mast to-day will attest not only public sorrow for the dead but national resolve to adopt toward Spain and Cuba policy that will be more in accord with the true greatness ot the republic than has been that of the past.

happiness was heralded by the raising of the national flag at half-mast over the new waterfront structure. MT. Colnon seems to be in water that is un- pleasingly hot at. this moment, but it is impossible to forbear limiting to him that if the Board of Harbor Commits sioners and the Southern Pacific of Kentucky are in fact one at heart on all points, it is unwise to publicly an- nounce the fact. Nothing is farther from my mind than the keeping of flower from a dead mans grave" but this, the first sign of the assumption of proprietorship of the States union de- pot, should have been very promptly nipped in the bud. The flag would be as much in place if hoisted on the State Capitol every time pauper died. The f1agpole and the flag should be re- served for State and national uses alone

AMERICAN SPIRIT AROUSED.

To the Editor of the San Francisco Call-Dear Sir: Your editorial in Fridays issue of The Call, under the caption of 'The Ship and Nation and that of to-day Saturday,, entitled "A Half Cen- tury of Shame I have read with much interest, and am free to state that feel just as you do relative to the insults suffered by this great nation at the hands of Spain. We have already borne too much of Spanish insolence. But, notwith- standing the strongly suspicious cfrcum- stances surrounding the destruction or the Maine, the people of this country were desirous of awaiting an investiga- tion into the terrible affair before taking any action involving the nations peace. But another insult, it seems to your humble correspondent, has been hurled at us-if the report Is true that Captain Sigsbee, with his local board, was pre- vented by Spanish guards from going aboard his own vessel, as stated in the Worlds dispatch from Havana, dated the 18th inst. Now, sir, I begin to feel as though it were time for Americans to speak out
 It seems to your humble correspondent that there should have been an American guard thrown around the remains of tho ill-fated Maine, and no persons permitted to go on board but those authorized by the United States of America until satisfactory investigation should naNe been made by this Government.
 It certainly appears, if this last news be true, that the Spanish authorities have now taken possession of the property of the United States! My only surprise is that the American pennant is permitted to float from the masthead of the wrecked ship. Perhaps it is permitted to remain there, however, as mark for Spanish insult. hope, sir, you will continue to express American sentiments in Inc Call, because some such inspiration is needed badly to spur up officials The people are aroused, and becoming impatient with the conduct of those high in authority. Many of our people begin to think that something else besides fear of the Span ish power actuates our officials in this matter. Holders of Spanish bonds or would-be spectators in Cuban bonds, with the American goose as security, are perhaps the potential power behind the throne, exerting an influence greater than Spanish guns or Spanish arrogance. But the more one thinks of these subjects the more exasperated he must become, II spark of patriotism exists in his make up. How long-how long, Lord, will these things be? Respectfully,
 JOHN J. BURKE.

AMERICANS ARE BORN sTRATEGIsTs

With reference to the declaration of Representative Mcclellan of New York, of Little Mac. that the army is entirely unprepared for and that not a single plan of campaign is in existence the Phlade- pha Record reassures the nation as follows: Has the Representative forgotten that Americans are born strategiss and that the first hostile shot the newspapers of the country would fairly reek with maps?
