Women have always taken a prominent
part in western journalism. Much censure
has been directed to some of the uses to
which they were put in the production Of
picturesque write-ups of dives and infamies
and the interviewing Of criminals, but all
they write over their own signatures is
well and individually done. Every paper
has its women and children's page. Chill
dren know how to meet the present oppor-
tunity. When Annie Dickie. seven years
old, broke the bottle of champaign in naming
the Olympia and cut her finger, the blood
ran down the deck. See, father" she ex-
claimed, the first blood for the new navy!'

Guilty, If the Maine was not destroyed
accidentally the Spanish government
had everything to do with it, and it
must answer accordingly. The Maine
was in a Spanish harbor, anchored in
pursuance of Spanish official sugges-
ton, and therefore under Spanish pro-
lection, just as much and in the same
sense that the Vizcaya was in the keep
ing of the United States after she had
rounded Sandy Hook and dropped an
Choir in the harbor of New York. Had
the latter vessel been blown up in the
harbor there would have been no ques-
ton as to where the responsibility
would have lodged. The fact is that
this government took mighty good care
that nothing Of the kind should nap
pen The Spanish government knows
where the torpedos and mines were
planted in the harbor of Havana, or
should have known. If the Havana au-
tborities only knew the fact Of their
existence, but not the location, then the
officers of the Maine should have been
in all good faith notified Of the danger.
The great battleship went down, and
upon the decision of 'how," brings the
momentous question of war, and the
national existence of Spain. This is
land of patriots, par excellence. There
is no difference between the patriotic
devotion of Mckinley, who fought on
the side Of the Union, and that OF
Fitzhugh Lee, who fought with the
Confederates. There are party divis-
ions in congress, but all are patriots, as
was evineed by the vote making the
first appropriation of $50, 900, 900, which
was unanimous. There was not sin
gle dissenting voice. The patriotic tide
never ran so full. 1t is not only strong
but resistless. AS some one has poet
ically cried:
Thou lonely ship, whose wounded form
Half risen from the hostile deep,
Within whose silence, meath the storm,
All stark and cold our sailors sleep:
Peace-for thy tale will soon be told,
OF hidden crime the truth made plain;
Peaceful the record we unfold
Which bares thy piteous fate, oh, Maine!
And, as we deal by thee and thine,
Our ship, our men, our own, indeed,
So God to us His heart incline,
Or harden, in our day of need.
1t is a prayer too solemn far,
With rage its pure appeal TO stain'
But, be it peace or be it war,
Thy wrongs must be made right, oh, Maine.

WE WANT HAWAII.
oWhood

Whether the Nicaraguan canal Is
ever dug or not we want Hawaii. With
the threatened partition Of China
among the powers, which attempt
would almost surely involve Russia,
Japan, Germany, England and France
makes us want Hawaii more than ever.
When the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was
ratified fifty years ago and we found
ourselves content with holding to the
Monroe doctrine, and that Of non-ex-
tension, we had no Pacific empire to
protect and develop. Alaska and the
Aleutian archipelago belonged to Rus
STA, and our present vast commerce
with China and Japan was insignifl-
cant and carried on around Cape Horn.
The Pacific route to the Orient lay I'M
utilized But all this is changed The
Pacific as a highway Of commerce is to
equal the Atlantic and the eastern
coast Of that ocean Is the western
boundary Of the United States. Trans
continental railways tie the Atlantic
to the Pacific across our domain and
there is but one stopping place, one in
termediate station, between America
and all the Orient, and that is Hawaii,
which wants to come to US and which
we must have. In the hands OF any
foreign power it is a menace, in our
own. a defense From a commercial
viewpoint not only, but for offensive
and defensive reasons, the young re-
public which seeks the alliance should
be accepted. No other nation would
hesitate for a moment

LEEDY AND HIS DOGS.

There is nothing bigger in this world
than great man, nothing smaller than
a little man attempting the role of
greatness. The Eagle, the other morn
ing, in referring to the maximum
freight rate decision by the supreme
court of the United States, suggested
that the finding would foul the escape
valve Of His Supreme Costiveness.
That reticent pauciloquy now bowls in
a manner which would discourage those
fancful CANNES of his, which have
barked themselves hoarse over the
pyramids OF Egypt. An extra session
of the Kansas Pop legislature for the
purpose of instructing the supreme
court of the land as TO the intent of
the fundamental law would be an en-
gaging incident, and Leedy's lecture
proves hardly less instructive. The
wonder is that his newly found volu-
bility did not find vent in the farther
declaration that the decision was made
for the very purpose of knocking out
his extra session and incidentally the
chances for his reelection. AS he can't
let go of the advantages he expected TO
reap by converting the legislature in ex-
ira session. under instructions. he now
declares that he will not only issue the
call but that he will fix up a bill which

FITZHUGH LEE.

Cleveland discovered at least one man
whom the Republican party respects,
whom Republican administration has
honored and in whom the American
people have confidence. AS a represen-
tative official of the Republican admin
istration he is winning spurs which
may yet gall the silver sides of the boy
from the Platte. Fitzhugh Lees name
is in everybody's mouth on account of
the indirect intimation from Spain that
she wished his recall as United States
consul general at Havana. He has not
been recalled and he won't be recalled;
and Spain will not make a point of his
recall-all of which was told in the
Eagle but a few days since. He is a
grandson of Light Horse Harry" Lee,
as General Washington called that
dashing revolutionary soldier. Sidney
Smith Lee, Light Horse Harry's' eld-
est son, became an officer in the United
States navy This naval officer, Cap
tain Sidney Smith Lee, was Fitzhugh
Lees father.
Fitzhugh Lee graduated third from
bottom of his class at West Point.
That does not seem to hamper man S
success in after life. Longstreet, the
ablest of the Confederate corps COM
manders, who led that incompatible
infantry of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia," as a great historian puts it,
graduated as near the foot of the class
of AZ as did Fitz Lee in his. A list
might be made Of others, but we will
take Custer for one. Had the nation
not needed soldiers just then as it never
did need them before or since, Custer
would never have got through, and
been graduated at the foot of the sec
ond class that West Point sent out
June "A, 1861.
While serving In the Second United
States cavalry in Texas, Fitzhugh Lee
was in several battles with the Co
manches. In the sketch published
reference was made to his being wound
ed by an arrow. The particulars of
that event are that a Comanche, dur
ing the fight, rode close to Fitzhugh
Lee and shot him with an arrow. 1t
would have killed him had not the point
turned on a rib. AS it was ii pene-
trated several inches, and Lee had to
ride about and command his men with
| the feathered end of the arrow sticking
out of his breast. It began to be pain

called to friend and said. Jack, pull

a tug. The arrow did not move. Put

must have been horrible. for Lees face
turned very white. Finally out came
/ the shaft of the missile, leaving the
steel head five or six inches deep in the
young lieutenant's breast. 1t was Sc

A COSTLY SAFETY.

In case Of war the United States has
little in the way of shipping or ships
to be wiped out by Spanish cruisers.
Outside of our coastwise vessels, which
indeed are numerous, few merchant
men carrying the Stars and Stripes are
seen in foreign waters. Our coast snip
ping interests are greater than those
of any other nation, Great Britain eX-
cepted. The result is that peace socl-
cites and free traders are calling atten-
ton, now that the war cloud is growing
dense, to the good fortune of this coun-
try in not having a merchant marine
to be preyed upon and destroyed. But
is there any comfort to be found in
this, in fact? Back of it is drawback
