Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts has al
ways been what one might call 'purist'
in his severe sticking for the extreme of
propriety in debate. He may have his
own standards of propriety or those rec
ognized in Worcester may not be the
same laid down in Webster, or even In
ordinary. everyday polite barroom So
ciety. but, such as they are, they are
good enough for the venerable and
cherubic statesman. AS a sample it is
reported that on yesterday on the floor of
the Senate he characterized statement
made by Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire
as "as vile a slander as ever thrust out
it's dirty head" We shall of course ex-
pect to see the expression blue-penciIed
out of the Congressional Record, which is
a pity. 1t is so strong anq, Goldfish like In

In the House of Representatives
Speaker Reed is pitted against nearly
all of his party. and all patriotic Demo-,
cratic members on the Hawaiian ques
ton His autocratic power could be
swept away like a last seasons cob

that appears to stand in the way is the
cowardIy fear of lot of big boys for
bullying district scnoolmaster. Once
that is overcome, away he goes!
We are informed that many friends
OF Mr.. McKin1ey's Eastern policy are
urging him not to submit to further
opposition in the matter, but to take
time by the forelock and occupy the
Hawaiian Islands at once. He will have
it to do at last, and why not at first.
He is fully advised that the whole
country would approve of such action,
just as well as he knows that Repuhli-
can members of Congress will dig their
political graves if they bow to the VIII
of Reed in this matter many days
longer. There is an ugly feeling de-
veloping in all sections against the
Tory and monopoly interest which
underlies the fight against annexation.

The press of the country is be-
coming more and more outspoken
in favor of retaining dominion
over the Philippine Islands. We
cannot but feel that the policy. is
a dangerous one, and yet the will
of the people, as voiced by the
press generally, will no doubt be
carried out. The responsibility is
a great one to undertake but no
one doubts Uucle Sans ability to
cope with any emergency that
may arise in that quarter The
only question is whether fine
game is worth the candle. The
people Of the country, in the first
flush of victory, may demand
more Of the present situation than
sober, serious reflection would
warrant. However, they have
full faith that the commissioners
the President will appoint will
handle the situation ably and we'll

all are prepared to quietly abide

European nations are revising
their estimates of American char
acter. No one on the other side
of the Atlantic now refers to the
United States as "nation of shop
keepers" though that was favor
able expression in Europe few
months ago. On the other hand
many of the influential foreign
journals express surprise at the
sentimental developments of the
war. The London Times says:
It is noteworthy that while the
Spaniards, who are usually re-
garded as *chivalrous, romantic
and medieval, have turned first to
the financial aspect of the situa-
ton, the Americans, usually sup
posed to be intensely practical
have as yet hardly given a thought,
to the financial or economic side
of the question. What occupies
the American people at this mo-
ment is not the cost of the war,
the value Of their acquisitions or
the balance Of the profit and loss
account, but the moral result Of
the struggle aud the nature of the
ideas it stimulates.
From European point of view
war is merely a game Of conquest.
The map Of The old world never
has been changed BY any war for
humanity's sake. Humanita rian

norant Of our method of govern
ment Even if the president and his
cabinet thought it right and
proper that the United States
should pay the Cuban insurgents,
which thew do not, it would be
impossible for them to pay out a
dollar for such purpose without
specific authority and an approp-
ration from Congress. There are
miscellaneous persons at work try
ing to make trouble between our
military authorities and the Gu
ban insurgents, and there is little
doubt that this story came from
some of them.
By direction of President Nc
Kinley, Gen. Lawton, who is in
command of the department of
Santiago, has been instructed to
maintain oruer and protect all
persons and their property, and
to allow no interference from any
quarter; also that the Cuban in
surgents should be treated Justly
and literally, but must recognize
authority of United States.
Speaking of this order, Secretary
Alger said: '"The rider means Just
what it says. the U. S. govern
ment is in control of the surren-
dered territory and is responsible
for the maintenance of peace.
The laws of this country must be
obeyed. We know no race or
color in this country in the re-
vuirement of obedience to law and
we will no none in Cuba. The po-
sition which the president has
taken will settle the matter for
the present and for all time."
Unless present calculations are
upset, about 100000 of the vol
unteers will be mustered out of
service between now and the first
Of October. When the temporary
peace agreement was signed it was
thought that none of the volup-
teers would be allowed to go home
until the formal treaty was agreed
upon, but after consideration it
was decided to be UNNECESSARY to
keep SO many men away from
their ordinary occupation. No
announcement as to the particular
regiments to be mustered out has
been made, but, as it has been de-
termined to muster the men out
near their homes. the ordering of
a regiment into its own state may
be be accepted as an indication
that it is to be mustered out of
service.
