A DECEPTIVE PLEA.

Premier Sagasta says in a doleful
tone that Spanish pride is greatly hurt
by the charge of colonial incapacity
made by Americans Why, he adds,
so far from neglecting our colonies,
Spain in twenty five years last past
has spent S6O,OOO,O00 in defenses for
her colonies. Well, that does jar. But
how much of that sum did Spain allot
to Cuba? Assume that it all went there,
and it amounts to less than two and
a half millions a year, while Cuba con-
tributed four times that sum directly
to the mother country annually.
/ But if the whole S60,O00,000 went to
Cuba, it was not applied. According
to Spanish authorities themselves, most
Of the money sent abroad is stolen by
thieving officials and high livers among
the official class. No one in Cuba
thinks of 10 per cent. of a given ap-
preparation ever reaching its object.
But suppose the whole $60,O00.000 to
have been allotted to Cuba, whereas
it was divided among all the colonies,
it was never expended in public de-
fenses, for the best judges place the
value of all defenses in Cuba, forts,
arsenals, earthworks, guns, mines, tor
pedoes, coast and interior works, as
not exceeding $3,000OO0 Probably
less sum would give Cuba a better out
fit of defenses, and leave a margin over
as a reserve

THE RED CROSS, THE COMFORT
FUND AND A HITCH.

The Red Cross work has gone on ia
mously in Sacramento. Our people
have reason to be proud of their pa
triotic and unselfsh spirit in regard to
it. The work must not relax; indeed,
it is but just begun. Very soon the
@'call from Manila" will be heard that
will be the test of the good work
Everything must be done that can be
to sustain the unselfish Iabors of the
society that is attending to the details
tribute become members Of the local
organization, the hard labor must de-
volve upon the few.
Right here we note that an unfortu-
nate hitch has occurred that must at
once be Strengthened out. Before a
local Red Cross Association was sug-
gested in this community the Rec
ord-Union" advised the creation of
two comfort funds, one for each of the
Sacramento commands. It was then
stated that such funds were to be
clear donations to each company, to
be used by each command just as it
used its own fund in it's armory be-
fore enlistment, but with this differ
enee, that it was intended to meet the
unforeseen, the emergencies, the
things not possible to be provided
against in advance supplies.
When the Red Cross started the
comfort fund idea was in danger of
being lost sight Of, and we again
called attention to it. Some noble
women took hold of it and the matter
began to take form. The Red Cross
Association then took it up very prop
erly, and the fund began with mite
contributions by the school children
and the Red Cross announced that it
would add to it, as it has done, out of
the general contributions.
No one who has given a cent to
either movement for a moment
dreamed of strings being attached
to the comfort funds, but it appears
that the money having been for
warded to the two companies, they
have returned it because they are
informed it is to be a revolving fund; i;
that it is given" as a loan, as it
were. On these conditions they say
they cannot accept it. And the COM
panies are right How can such a
fund revolve, since it cannot produce?
Is it to revolve out of the mems sal
aries? Then. there is no need for it.
. A revolving fund must be a productive
one. A loan presupposes that it is to
be repaid.
No child who gave a dime, no man
or woman who gave a dollar to the
Red Cross Society direct or to the COM
fort fund. ever dreamed of any such
conditions. The funds given to the
companies from other cities have no
such conditions attached. and none
should be tackled on here The fund
was suggested and created, not to out
fit the companies, to buy shoes, shirts
or socks. but to meet the unforeseen,
to be under company control, wholly,
freely.
A mistake has been made. mistake

THAT SPANISH BOASTER.
Humboldt Standard: We should like
to hear the opinion the Governor
General of the Philippine Islands now
has of the American navy. A.few days
|ago he issued a bloyiating proclamation
TO his Spanish subjects assuring them
that the Yankees We're the excrescences
of all nations; that their sailors and ma
val forces were without discipline and
without courage. His opinion of the
Yankee pigs" must have undergone a
change since Dewey sunk his fleet, cap
tured his forts and only postpones the
bombardment of Manila because he
does not wish to destroy life and prop
erty needlessly and awaits the coming
of land forces with which to garrison
the place when captured.
THE MEN WHO REALLY FIGHT.
Los Angeles Times: The San Fran
cisco Chronicle" is not greatly enam-
Ored of the picturesque fighter of the
plains. 1t says:
1T is to be feared that Roosevelt's
theatrical regiment will share the fate
if the war goes on of Billy Wilson'S
Zouaves'. and 'Ellsworth's Avengers,
which were going to shatter the Con-
federacy in the spring of 81 All those
bloOd-and- thunder commands van
ished after Bull Run, and the war was
fought out by very prOsaic and un-
adorned young men from dry goods
stores, law offices, machine shops and
farms, who waited until after Apo
mattox before they did their boast
ing"
The point is we'll taken. The fell
lows who do not say much but who
think a whole lot, are the ones who
do the worlds work whether on the
field of battle or in the haunts of peace.
If Teddys' Terrors turn out to be as
terrible as they appear they will prove
an exception to an almost universal
rule, which is that the most peaceful
and quiet man in the time of peace
makes the very best and most trust
worthy soldier Our last war demon
strated that fact again and again.

of judgment; we would be the last to
say that it arose in any other way If
the fund is, however, not given as a
free donation, is not to be what it was
intended, purse upon which the COM
panies can draw at their will, and as
they see fit, then it is no donation al
all, and the whole purpose of the in
dividuaI contributors has been lost
sight Of. We have confidence that this
little hitch viii be Strengthened out.
There is one way only to do it, how
panies without any strings attached.
We are confident that this intention will
be fully met now that the matter is
clearly explained

THE DAY.

The observance of Memorial Day
takes on unusual meaning this year.
Not that the veterans are diminishing
in number and their steps growing
feebler. as they march to the graves of
their dead comrades, for that has been
noted steadily as the years have rolled
on. But a new significance arises out
of the fact that as the old soldiers pay
tribute to the memory of the departed
heroes. new soldiers of the Union are
moving forward to battlefelds Of the
Republic, for whom in the years to
come the ceremonies of to-day will be
repeated by a generation yet unborn.
Such testimonials are not to the men
alone, not to the self-sacrif1ce that in
spired their devotion solely, but to the
genius Of the American Republic, to the
liberty of conscience, person and ex-
preston, which is guaranteed the
American citizen; to the loyalty of the
people to the Constitution and the
laws; to the spirit of patriotic devotion
that makes the citizen soldiery the arm
of the nations strength for defense or
for assault.
The war in which we are now engaged
is one for freedom for men, for the
right of government among those
human beings who, prone at our thres-
hold stretch forth their hands in sup
plicating appeal for the exercise of the
right to be free from the tyrannous rule
of a monarchical power. The men who
lay down their lives for that cause viii
be the heroes whose graves our chill
dren and grandchildren will reverently
dress with floral tributes to the Amer
lean idea
:; This Memorial Day gains new sig
nificanee from another fact, that it is
the first under conditions which have
united the soldiers of the Republic
without thought of locality or past di-
vision. The citizen soldier of the
South and the citizen soldier of the
North to-day move forward in martial
array under the same flag, shoulder to
shoulder for the same purpose, and re-
sponsive to the call of an undivided ma
tion, a common country, and a common
patriotism. The veterans who totter
TO the silent cities to-day will feel that
the new war has compensation for US,
in that it has proved that we are in
deed once more a united people.

No suffers are to be permitted with
the army in this war Thank heaven
for that. OF all nuisances in the last
war the sutler was the chief. He was
an incubus it was impossible then to
shake off, because the Commissary De-
partment had not been brought up to
such a state of efficiency that he could
be displaced. Now, however. the Com
missary will attend to all the needs of
the soldier, and will not shave his small
wage until the principal disappears. He
will do no shaving whatever. What
the boy in blue wants from his stores

sented to be.

THE RIGHT VIEW OF IT.

All patriotic citizens every man who
entertains the idea that his country is
superior to his party will agree with
the Baltimore News" Democratic
when it declares that Those Senators
who use this emergency as a time
either for attempting to force the
adoption oftheir financial notions, or for
cutting off the Governments supplies
while they pretend to make such an at
tempt, will be justly overwhelmed by
public condemnation. We must give
the Government now the money which
it needs, and fight out the currency
quarrel afterward"
The simple unvarnished truth is that
in such a time as this the attempt to
make the necessity of the country the
vehicle for carrying out currency ex-
periments is little short of reasonable.
No policy was ever yet forced upon a
people through such agency that retri-
button was not visited upon those
guilty of the coercion.

If the Spanish do not blot out some
of our ships the American navy will
grow in the midst of war, exclusive of
the auxiliary class, which is but tenn
porary. The Kentucky and Kearsarge,.
new ships, are approaching the time
when they can be put into commission.
OF gunboats, Dewey has added four
to his fleet taken from the Spanish,
two Of which are of modern type and
exceedingly well outfitted with arms.
Four battleships, the Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Missouri and Alabama, are now
building. and will be structures of the
highest order. The new navy bill pro-
poses the expenditure of S46,0000 900 for
naval ships, four to be first-class bat
tleships, a number cruisers and all the
others torpedo boats and destroyers.
When these ships are completed, if we
lose none in this war, we will be the
third naval Power, France being sec
ond. Great Gritain first. As the sea
power is to be the power of the future,
it remains to be seen if the people of
America will consent that the greater
nation in area and population shall

the care of the families of volunteers
whom i'll fortune may possibly leave

advanced to organization.
But when it was proposed by two
other counties that they would like to

That is probably the most judicious
decision In every community from
