THE POWER OF A SILENT PEOPLE.

Al FEN old enough to remember our Civil War / \ recall the grim silence that fell upon the North when serious work came III sight. True, there tears without sobs silent salutes and feeling that could not find expression Tn noise, but must be uttered in action. When Americans are profoundly impressed the grizzled souls ot the Roundheads thump in their ribs and they waste no breath in shouting. When the troops left this city the school children to whom 1t was a spectacle, made noisy demonstration but their elders, with thoughtful faces, gave the approval of AngloSaxon silence, and in set faces and hands cnched let the onooker read the rising of determination to lift the burden of sponsibility and carry it to the end.
 In great contrast IS the noisy of Spain From Madrid to the provinces heads hot and throats hoarse with shouting. The mob attacks effigies and emblems with venomous vigor that might better be reserved for the contacts of war
 The Spanish Minister took his passports, retired from Washington and crossed the frontier with none other than the polite attention which travelling gen temen this country get fom other travelling gen temen, and in the quiet enjoyment of the luxury and pleasure which American railways furnish their patrons. The American Minister left Madrid and proceeded the frontier through shower of stones and compelled to leave his berth to defend from capture his secretary, who about to be arrested because his name was Moreno. Nothing can be more childish than all this sound and fury As Spain stands to-day, judged by her conduct, Don Quixote should be at the head of her armies, with wash basin his head for the helmet of Mambrino and his lance in tilt at of windmls while his faith ful squire Sancho Panza, chews garlic by his side and carries ove-letters to the Lady del Toboso.
 Spain lives and shouts in the past, tries to atten her lean ribs glories that have faded. America
 lives in the future and keeps step in the long march toward it, breaks silence only with the word of com mand the of guns and the shriek of flying shells
 It IS not an agreeable task to discharge the duty we have assumed It Is no less than the destruction of power that has ouved its defensive energies and retains only the spirit of msgovernment and the power of bad example Spain Is like man who has failed in all legitimate lines and refusing to accept fate with philosophy, become predatory, violent and lawless. The law has to put its hand upon him and subject him to those restraints which required by the good order of the community. This task has fal- comes people commissioned to end the pretensions of decayed personality among the nations.
 As read the signs set in the American hori- people feel their strength, know their duty and will hasten its performance, and then the blow will turn the furrow again, will go back to mill and shop, and Europe will have the way pointed out her to shut her eyes to the balance of power and consider only the balance of justice in dealing with Turkey that problem which protects wickedness promotes slaughter dishgures frontiers and practices murder.

the conduct Of the campaign for the defense of the northern frontier seriously handicapped by the refusal of the Governors of several of the New Eng land States to send any troops outside their borders This so far weakened strength that we were not only unable to successfully invade Canada, but ac- tually suffered the capture of Detroit
 The evil Of the situation was recognized at that time, but the State sovereignty spirit was too strong Tn all parts of the Union to permit of remedy Even as late as IS6I the call for volunteers had to be made through the State Governors, and as is well known the Governors ot several of the States refused to
 pond, just as had been done fifty years before. The CIVIL War; however, settled the issue of State ere1gny, both as legal principle and as popular sentiment. There would be no failure on the part of any Governor to furnish volunteers for the present war, but none the less Congress does not wait upon them to do so. The volunteer armies of the present and the future will be provided for by Congress and called for by the President. They will be armies of the nation, and not a combination of State troops acting together.
 It is to be noted however, that the new law does not wholly eliminate the States and their from consideration. It provides that when volun- teer army IS called for the men received into the service shall be taken as far as practicable from the several States and Territories in proportion to their population It IS further provided that all company and regimental officers shall be appointed by the Gov ernors of the States in which such organizations raised. These provisions are survvas of the old Federal spirit and will help to make the new law ceptabe to the people if any help should be needed.
 It remains to be seen by actual test of war how the divided authority in the appointment of officers will work If any friction should result 1t is easy fore see that amendment would soon be made taking away the appointing power from the Governors and placing the whole volunteer force like the regular army, under the exclusive control of the national authorities Nor would there be any widespread op- position among the people. We have made nation in fact, and the laws will sooner or later have to fit the fact

FlARBoR COMMISSIONERS REBUKED.

I HE full decision of Judge Belcher in the of
 Samuel C. Irving vs. the Harbor Commission
 CTS IS published n another column. Every word ot 1t IS worth reading. By 1t the commission Is re- buked in terms most scathing Yet there IS in the buke no sign of aught but the product of judicial mind, devoid of prejudice and stating the simple facts.
 It is seldom that the rendering of decision involves the excoriation of any party to an action It is possible that both parties may have been n- spred by the belief that the contention set up would be sustained by the law Ii the Harbor Commissioners entertained any such idea 1t has been rudely dspeled Ii President Colnon had thought that he was re- garded angel of light great flood of intelli- gence has been poured in upon him.
 So complete Is the statement from the bench such an absolute overthrow Of the contentious set up by the Harbor Commissioners that an extended epitome of 1t would be useless when the article appears in its entirety. In brief, it is shown that the Commission rejected bids for the simple purpose of giving their pets chance and the court does not mince the truhon the contrary, setting forth in plain terms It is shown that the advice of Special Counsel Strat ton not only wrong but that the special counsel had in law warrant for his existence It is shown that the Commissioners rejected bids as "too high and having eliminated the bidders objectionable to themselves, accepted bids as high as the original. Judge Becher declares that the grossest favoritism is apparent. The rejection of the bids among which that of the plaintiff, is described as being en- tirely without warrant in law, as being arbitrary capricious and i'll bad faith These conclusions do not surprise. Yet it is gratifying to have them set forth with such clarity and from source which can not be accused of bias
 The character of the Board of Harbor Commis- soners begins to be planer. The Cal in its capacity of public journal, has endeavored to make 1t clear Doubtless the Belcher decision will be of material assistance to the Grand Jury. One who is faithless in little things will be equally aithless in great things body capable of cheating the State in the parafin ing of lot of piles would not hesitate to cheat in the construction of depot worth many thousands.

THE VOLUNTEER ARMY.

D its terms the volunteer army act is designed to be not an emergency measure merely, but a
 - part of the permanent legislation of the coun- try Its object is to provide not only for this but for any future contingency in which the United States Government will have need of larger and stronger military force than that of the regular army As such 1t is step in the evolution of the nation and in its consequences may prove to be one of the most important that has been taken in recent years
 By the new law the National Government will deal directly with the people in raising any army it de- sires, and will not have to act through the medium of the States, as in former years In bygone wars the need of some such power was strongly felt In 1872

FORTUNE FAVoRs THE BRAVE

One of the extraordinary features of the present war prospect has been the remarkable flow of gold to this country. Since the blowing up of the Maine in Havana harbor on February 15, when war became really imminent, the gold imports have reached the enormous sum of S61,- 575 900. This. too, in spite of the Govern ment purchases of ships and war material abroad, which were paid for in gold Philadelphia Times.

AS TO INDECENT JOURNALISM.

HE Examiner has long been indecent. Only of
 late has it become so proud of its infamy as to
 call attention to 1t by rocket and bomb Only since the war with Spain has 1t employed band to play its Rogues March to the nickel of the incredu- lous.
 It is with feeling of envy The Call declares the Examiner a disgrace to the profession of journalism No such feeling would be possible for this paper has every facility for receiving and presenting news from the front. But The Call takes pride in printing the truth, and when 1t prints will label them as such and let them go for what they may be worth It Is not always possible at this distance from the scene of conflict weigh each word It is possible to dis tingush between the palpable fake and the actual news.
 The Examiner yesterday published series of things 1t pleased to term extras" Aside from the information contained in regular editions of all morning papers, these extras" declared that the Iowa had been fired from Moro Castle The in formation was false, and the Examiner was aware of the fact It said in large type that the Paris had been taken. It said this knowing 1t to be lie It de- cared the American flag to be flying over Hawaii This was hctiOn based nothing It set forth the capture o the Bilbao meaning the Pedro the cir cumstance having already been detailed. It an- nounced the taking of the Shenandoah-a mere ru- nor which had been made again and again. and each time denied And these were the pretexts on which it assumed to issue an extra"
 There is such thing enterprises there is such thing as theft. In its anxiety to achieve enterprise the Examiner has drifted naturally into theft It has even imported from New York man trained under Hearst to blll the public. The importation has his confidence game in full and noisy blast but suckers are few. Soapy Smith worked the town while on his way to the Klondike. The Hearstngs scattering tlai- but their employer. They will swear the extras into their circulation and he will believe them being what IS known as good thing" But as to foolng the people, they have reached the limit. Yesterday the Examiner announced that if during the day there had been an important naval engagement rockets would be fired from its building. There was no inn Portant naval engagement but the rockets were fired Cannot the police, headed by that valiant foe of crime, Captain Lees, reach these bunko men?
