though Roosevelt's experience for the
work he undertook was perhaps as
thorough as that of any other man in
America, he had sense enough to leave
the supreme command of his men in
the hands of Colonel Wood. a trained
soldier. Roosevelt's troops behaved
splendidly. No regiment ever fought
more bravely on the field than on that
terrible day at La Quasina, or shed
more lustre on their country than in
the charge against San Juan. But
mostly all these society men" and
cowboys" had had a rough military
training IL not scientific one. One ex-
treme of exaggeration has led to an
other. Roosevelt's men were not "socie-
ty dudes" If many of them
were we'll off in the goods
Of this world they had ex-
perience almost in every individual
case in the state militia or National
Guard. They knew how to handle a
rifle and mount a horse Just as well
prairies. Neither Mr.. Roosevelt's in
domitable courage nor Mr.. Bryan's
magic eloquence can manufacture SOL
diers. The amateur commander is not
aware of the responsibility he is under
taking, the danger into which he is
leading himself and others, or the ir-
reparable disaster into which he may
precipitate a regiment or division by
his ignorance of the elementary axioms
of the drill manual. Mr.. Bryan might
with as good reason be given the COM
friends presented yacht to the gov
ernment.

In January the Cuban situation became
so intolerable that congress could not
be kept from taking it up in some form
or other. The blowing up of the Maine
increased the feeling that there should
be some legislation looking toward in
reference, until finally, on April 49, the
famous Cuban resolutions. authorizing
the president to use the land and naval
forces of the United States to bring
the war to an end and to establish a
stable government on the Island of Cuba,
were passed. There were stormy scenes
in both houses during the consideration
of these resolutions. The presidents pol
icy did not contemplate the recognition
of the Cuban government. and the DEM
ocrats, largely to embarrass the admin
istration, 1t is believed, made a desperate
attempt to have the insurgents recog-
nized as an Independent people. Con-
gress sustained the president, and in
the light of recent developments it is
acknowledged by nearly every one that
the wisdom of the administrations pol
icy has been demonstrated. A few days
after this the diplomatic relations be-
tween Spain and the United States were
severed, and the president sent mes
sage to congress recommending the pas
sage of joint resolution setting forth
| the fact that a state of war existed be-
| tween the two governments.

The fifty-fifth congress was called in
extraordinary session March 10, 1897, con-
cluded the work laid for 1t, that of pass
ing protective tariff bill, and adjourned
July "a 1897. The second, or first regu-
lar session, began on December 6, 1897
with the house and senate thoroughly
organized for work on the first day of
the session. The Cuban question at that
time was the most important of those
likely to be presented to congress. There
was u stir among those bent on cur
rency reform, and also among those who
desired bankruptcy law needed to re-
lieve the business of the country from
the paralysis brought on by Democratic
times. There were few, IL any who had
any idea of the tremendous events that
would happen, and there was a general
prediction that congress would transact
its routine business and adjourn by
April 1.

Great Record Of
The 55fh Congress
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press,
Sd HE record of the first regular
session of the Fifty-fifth con-
gress will form a more import
ant part of American history
than that of any session OF any
preceding congress. The laws that
have been enacted since congress met
on the first Monday of last De-
cember are probably wider in their
national and International bearing than
those of any one session of past con-
crosses. This congress by legislation
has intervened between IA European ma
tion and one of its colonies, IL has de-
clared war against that nation; 1t has
provided for $20O00O,000 annual increase
in revenues and for a loan of 800 900, 900;
1t has authorized vast increases in the
United States navy and in the army; 1t
has established by legislation the policy
of annexation of territory not contiguous
to the United States and has taken a
long step toward settling vexatious con-
troversies between this country and
Great Britain by authorizing participa-
tion in joint conference for that pur-
pose.

Constitutional Amendments

An important feature Of the

found in the amendments to the
constitution. which are to he
voted Tor ut that time. The first
Of th"Se Is ON" which the Times
has Bong adVOcated-that OF ac-
ceptI"g guaranty or surety COM
pan;rS, foreign or domestic, as
surety on official bonds. By this
system the state and county
could feel perfectly sure that the
bonds given by their officials
were valid and cOllectible, which,
unfortunately, has not been the
case In many instances hereto
fore. The second is IN amend
ment authorizing the legislature
to clothc the railroad commission
with judicial power in all matters
To ne passed upon 1t. This, too,
il an emlnently proper measure,
for since we have the railroad
commission, it should be placed
in a position TO make It's work
effective. The third provides
that any imnra ched official shall
b" dlSquatltird FROM holding
Office until hr IL acquitted. and
the appointment by the govern
or of a successor al interim.

Temperance Work in Europe


1t is customary among GER
tain class Of would be intellectual
aristocrats in this country to
think and speak Of all temperance
agitation as beng the product Of
sentimental and mpractica BILE
theory, characteristic Of moral
crankS and tranSCendental re-
formers. According to these high
and mighty critics, the idea Of en-
forced abstinence from intOXicat-
ing drinks and police regulation
Of the liquor traffic is a mere
visionary fad Of men and women
Historically weak and sensitive.
or IS a dangerous attempt to ap
ply the doctrine of Sunptuary
legislation to the habits ard
tastes Of intelligent freemen. 1t
is often asserted, with Il tone and
air of induIgent superiority, that
such ideas are among the crazy
freaks of a raw state of society,
that the whole temperance move
ment IS an American hobby, and
that the older civilizations Of T.u-
rope have no federation for such
narrow and Liberal sentiment

Kansas have come in for deal

advanced and cultivated public
sentiment of European countries.
All over the continent the appal-
ling evils Of the drink habit, and
it's destructive effects upon natu-
raj and individual charac ter have
for years past aroused the alarm
and enlisted the active attention
OF the most enlightened states
men. In two cOuntricS-RuSSIa
and France - the temperance
movement has assumed practical
proportions as governmental
problem, besides awakening some
novel social and intellectual CON
trOvcrsies. In Russia the much
despised "dispensary system"
was adopted quite while ago,
having existed in Norway and
Sweden for many ,">r'5. 1t has
been gradually extended until the
government arbitrarily controls
the liquor traffic over nearly the
whole of Russia in Europe, and
the practical results of the SvS-
tenn are just now being widely
discussed in the cars domini0ns.
1t seems that great abuses have
crept into the administration of
the laws, and a wholesome reform
IS being planned to render more
stringent and effective the safe
