CONCERNING WAR MEASURES.

A dispatch 70 the Tribune from
Washington says: Tue next regi-
ment TO start for Manila will embark
at New York about the end OF this
month aud will 90 through the Suez
canal. The expedition will consist OF
three regiments OF regular Infantry,
distributed between two OF the
largest transports owned by the gov
ernment, with perhaps a convoy Of
two warships. Arrangements are
now being made for this expedition
by Adjutant- -GeneralCoroln as rapidly
as possible, IN view OF IT'S great im .
portance. and especially as IL lnYolyes
cooperation by the state and navy de
paTtment authorities, as well
those OF the war department.
The decision 70 use New York "a

forces started for the PHILIPPINES, was
reached by General Corbln after a

THE CoRKED-UP QUESTION.

The Navy Department is impressed
with the correctness Of Commodore
6chIey's report that Cervera's squad
ron is in the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba and that the Schley feet Eow ly-
ing outside has him safely bottled in
that long. narrow, landlockod sheet of
water.
The primary evidence Of the correct
ness Of Commodore -Schley's statement
is a report from Captain Sigsbee, in
command of the auxiliary cruiser. st.
Paul, who says that he ran in sufi-
ciently near to the entrance of Santiago
harbor to see two of Cervera's ships
and some of the lesser boats; that he
was then pursued by two torpedo boats,
and with some difficulty evaded them by
the celerity Of his movements. He adds
that he was able to identify the Cervera
type Of ships because they lay SO near
20 the entrance Of the harbor
Now, as the harbor is narrow and
long, and the opening at 1he mouth
very CONSTRUCTED and tortuous, with
high bluffs on each side, the question
might arise, How could Sigsbae get a
view Of the ships in the inner bay and
escape assault from the Morro fortress
at the entrance? The answer is that he
was at sufficient distance to observe
through powerful glasses ana yet be
beyond exceeding danger from the guns
of the castle. Secondly, he was en-
abled to see the ships because they
were located close to tbs guns of the
land batteries, and not far down the
bay off the city front, seven miles from
battery support.
This, because it is always an advan-
tage to a ship Of war to engage with
the support of land-planted guns, and
because Cervera has two objects in
view in coming close to the mouth of
the harbor. One is to resist by land
and water an attempt Of his enemy to
enter, and the other is to take advar-
tage Of a favorable opportunity to make
a dash for liberty. Reason therefore
supports the claim that Sigsbee saw the
squadron inside the harbor, and that
therefore Schley has Cervera corked
up. The remaining question is: When
Will he draw the cork?"
The record-union., 1898-05-31

The New York Times" which is
warmly for the war and the punishment
of SPAIN holds that the complaint of
delay laid against the Administration
is wholly unjust, inasmuch as it is
recognized truth among military men
that raw Ievies are not to be brought
into invading trim in any brief period.
All the best judges hold that new levies
must be some time handled before they
are physically and otherwise fitted for
the field, and it is wisdom to take this
time rather than risk defeat and dis
aster. 1t holds also that the blockade
of Havana is effective, that the coun
try cannot furnish that population with
supplies; that the construction will COM
pei the place to capitulate because Of
the we'll known military maxim that
exhaustion of supply means death or
surrender, and diminution Of supply has
a most depressing effect upon be
leagured force. There is a powerful and
depressing moral strain also upon
place isolated and cut off from commu
nication with the outer world. 1t is,
therefore, a necessity for the Spanish
fleet to break the blockade. Failing
that, the Times holds that the Amer
lean cause is half won, and invasion
may not become a necessity, at least
not in the sense in which it has been
contemplated. This is said upon the
assertion that Cuba cannot produce
enough for the subsistence. of the Span
fish garrison in Havana. There is,
therefore, according to that journal, no
waste of time whatever, as long as the
construction is applied to Havana, but
on the contrary, our unreadiness is be-
ing changed into fitness for assault if
it becomes necessary. On these lines
of reasoning it explains the great solic-
itude Of the Government to prevent the
approach of a Spanish feet to Havana.
At least, says our contemporary, the
situation does not warrant the sharp
assaults made upon the Administration
in the conduct of the Cuban campaign,
and the unwarranted cIamor for an on
ward movement .

A THOUGHT ON EDUCATION.

Educator Henderson has given the
public a thoughtful paper in the "Pop-
ular Science Monthly. upon the social
idea IN education, which is worthy of
far Broader reading than it is apt to
receive, It is certainly true that back
of everything that is noble and beauti-
ful we find compelling idea.
In education it should be, theoreti-
ally it is, that We have in view particu-
lar types Of men and women We wish to
produce as results of the system we ap-
ply. All method must be subordinated
TO this intention. If that purpose is
not clear, well defined and strong in
conviction, then we are expending ef-
fort ainlessly-we are firing at ran
dom - though Professor Henderson
would probably prefer that the state
nent Of the idea should be more grace
fully put.
However. to come to the indictment
made by the. essayist. and drop it there
for the present, is it true, as the mono
graphist charges, that it is no exagger-
alton to say that the very large ma
1ority Of teachers and school boards
have very vague ideas as to where they
want the children to be landed when
the formal process comes to an end?
Here is a question that should be
answered. If Professor Henderson
hbels the conductors Of our popular ed
ucational system, he should be taken to
task. If he states a truth. however, the
door opens for a reform that cannot
and must not stop short of putting into
the field teachers and educational
boards with clear and right ideas as to
the true social purpose of education,
ideas not vague and aimless and often
contradictory, as the essayist charges
is now true-teachers with ideas firmly
rooted. as to true ideals in education, So
cial ideals toward which all education
81 propulsion shall tend.
A single note gives the key to Pro-
fessor Henderson's thought upon the
subject of this social idea in education,
namely, mo scheme of education has
any serious claims upon our attention
unless it is founded upon some rational
system Of ethics-that is to say, upon
some rational view of the proper con-
duct of life"

WOMAN'S EXCHANGE.

-
A smile Of anticipation lighted up his
counteHance- as he turned aside and
entered the building.
A middle-aged, sharp featured lady
in eyeglasses came forward and bowed
to him as he stepped up to the counter,
and after slowly looking her over he
said: 4t.te
Excuse me, madam, but air you the
only one they've got on hand at pres
ent?"
The only ONE on hand? What do you
mean?" was the puzzled reply.
'sThe only woman, of course. hadn't
got Hammer along with me to-day, but
noticed that this was a woman's ex-
change, an 1 thought I'd drop in an
look over what you had on hand, an
if 1 liked the looks of any of 'em I'd
bring the old woman in the next time
I come to the city an make a trade" "
Gently, but firmly, the lady in charge
explained his mistake to him, and Hi
ram Henpellt. of Frog Hollow resumed
his homeward journey, a crestfallen
and bitterly disappointed man.--St.
Louis Post Dispatch.
