Pennsylvania Militia.

For ability to mobilize and concen-
trate with ra pidity and ease when I'M
expectedly called out for active service.
the national guard of Pennsylvania
exceeds that of any other. In making
camp and living, sleeping and cooking
in camp, the guard illustrates the aler, !,
sympathetic Intelligence of the Amer
lean character, of the assimilation of
INSTRUCTION and experience. The force
of enthusiasm acting upon intelligence
alone can account for the signal effic-
iency of this splendid body of volun-
teers. The superior condition of the
rational guard of Pennsylvania is
primarily due to the people # the
state, who take deep interest in its
success.
Philadelphia is splendidly protected
from the approach of foreign ships
through the Delaware, and in less than
thirty-six hours the channel could be
made impossible by hoa ing torpedoes
aud submarine devices. The supply of
ammunition is also said to be plentiful
On the New Jersey shore, at Firms
Point, opposite Delaware City, is a
newly-erected battery of disappearing
guns, out of which they can throw &C
G lrately half-ton of project'les and
explosives distance of eleven miles.
AT Old Fort Delaware and in that
vicinity there are submarine mines
and torpedoes in the same condition as
t! e unloaded guns at the battery. This
is to prevent the possibility of accident.
1t would take but few hours to load
them, however, with 500 pounds of
eun-cot or dynamite, the shot being
fred from q safe dis aance.

College Athletics.

The executive committee of the In
tie collegiate association of amateur
athletes of America, composed of G
T. Kirby of Columbia, M. Kendrick of
Pennsylvania, w. A. Howe of Har-
ward, and Oliver Shiras of Cornell,
met at the Fifth avenue hotel, New
York, today to receive the report of q
subcommittee appointed to revise the
constitution and bylaws, which will
be submitted to the annual meeting TO-
morrow. In the changes made the
definition of the word amateur" is
made stricter, and rule dealing with
penalties is made more severe. This
afternoon the executive committee
will hold secret session to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of calling upon Cap
tain Brown of the athletic club of the
university of California, to substan-
tiate the charges of professionalism
which he recently made against esst-
ern college athletes. The university
holds membership in the inter-col-
legiate association and the latter has
power either to expel 1t or to discipline

Horace Greeley as an Orator

Mr.. Greeley was not au orator In any
scholastic sense. He had q poor and
somewhat squeaking voice; he knew
nothing of gestures: aud he could not
take an orators pose, which adds such
emphasis sometimes to the matter and
arguments to be set forth. Not all his
years of practice on the platform and
on public occasions ever changed his
habits and methods as a speaker, aud
he ended as poorly equipped in the re-
spects named for the vocation as when
he began. But he had one prime quail
ity, without which all the others are
exploited in vain. He invariably had
something to say, and he said it in such
clear aud wholesome English, with
such sincerity that he was an orator in
spite of all the rules.
To state it briefly, of all the eminent
speakers 1 have introduced-and more
than Once-there was not one who gave
bettor satisfaction, different and no.
table as they we're, than Horace Gree
ley. AS q consequence, he came to me
ofteneet, and wore the best. We might
or might not agree with some of his
peculiar premise as when he says,
1.-THE moment a drop of alcohol is re-
ceived into the human stomach, that
moment the stomach recognizes dead
ly enemy" but he set his audience
thinking, and Illuminated his theme

The De LONE Incident.

The incident which has embrOiled
the Spanish minister, Depuy De LONE,
with the administration at Washington
is greatly to be regretted. BY his Of
fensive letter Minister De LONE has
given the president and the country
just cause of offence. 1t is true that the
letter was private, and it was stolen
from the desk of Senior Canaiejas, and
that the propriety of it's publication by
American newspapers, under such cir
cumstances, is more than doubtful.
Still, it is the fashion, in the open
market OF democracy, to respect no Sc
crets, even when self-represslOn seems
a patriotic duty. The letter was prl-
vate one, as the friends OF the Spanish
minister take pains to point out; but
the trouble with this contention is that
q minister to q foreign country Is pre-
sumed not to believe that the head OF
the government to which he is accredit-
ed is "a coarse and low politician,
weak and catering to the ramble.
The great pity of the incident is that it
adds fuel to the mutual ill-feelibg tn it
exists in the United States and spain.
Senators Mason and Cannon spoke the
glee of the jingoes OF this country
when the unfortunate letter first made
its appearance, and Weyler and his
friends in Spain are doubtless delighted
that the governments of the two cOun-
tries are at last mbrOiled in person
al controversy. or course the thief Who
stole the letter was actuated by the de-
sire to produce the same effect. Now
all patriots, both in this country and
in Spain, have one common sentiment
and hope, that is that peace may come
TO Cuba speedily, but that whether 1t
come sooner or later, that it may come
without war between the United States
and Spain. De Lome's letter, now
that it is made public, may be one OF
the causes that will eventually disap-
point this hope; but De Lome's letter
is infinitely less brutal, aud much less
vulgar than Senator Mason's speech
which was made on the cay the letter
first saw the light, and in which the H.
linois senator denounces Spain as with
out honor, Weyler as butcher, Blanco
as a bribegiver. Mason and the other
senators who indulge thus in abuse of
Spain make Sagasta's position all the
more difficult, and a peaceful! solution
of the difficulty problematical. The
situation is very grave, and II war
comes out of it, the people OF the two
countries, who will bear the burden
and paw the cost of war in life and
treasure, will have the jingoes OF the
United States and an indlscreet Span
ish minister and the madi3val reaction
aries of Spain to blame for the outcome.

MEMBERS of the ways and means
committee and the finance committee at
Washington agree with the treasury
officers in the belief that the new tariff
law is going to supply sufficient reve-
nue. to meet the, running expenses OF
the government. With this unani-
nous verdict of experts in its favor, its
opp 1nents should at least keep silent
until it has had opportunity to show
what it can do under normal conditions.
It is expected.that the expenditures of
the government will be considerably
curtailed by the vigorous efforts in the
direction of economy which the repub-
.licans are making all along the line,
and thus the demand upon the revenue
will be reduced.

ANOTHER evidence in support of the
constant assertion that Mr.. Bryan is
reallymore populist than democrat
is found in the fact that "The Bryan

porters of Mr.. Bryan in the last cam
paign and which renowned and de-
nounced the dc mocracy of Ohio for it's
inconsistency in naming a wealthy
bank president for governor and a
wealthy monopolist of Washington for
senator, has transferred its allegiance
