THE LESSON OF THE CRISIS.

D AMERICANS of all parties Justly grathed / \ with the swift action of Congress in passing the bill approprating $5o,oooooo to provide for national defense and also we'll pleased in the consciousness that President Mckinley deserves the confidence reposed in him and will make prompt and effective use of the money in preparing the nation meet the emergency of war ii 1t should arise.
 There is one aspect of the vote, however, which is by no means pleasing and that aspect dscoses itself the moment the people begin to consider why the vote was necessary is generally understood that in case war breaks out very large portion of the amount will be expended in purchasing warships. In fact the reports are that Commander Brownson has gone to Europe for the express purpose of making engagements for the purchase of ships in case such action should be necessary, and the estimates are that upward of $2o,oooooo may be expended in that way.
 If we have to make this hasty vote of $5o,ooo,o 900 and hurry an official abroad to negotiate for war ships because of possible war with nation weak as Spain, 1t is easy to what would have happened had we been involved in with England over the Venezuelan question when Cleveland sent forth his startling ultimatum the subject To have pre- pared ourselves in sudden emergency to withstand the matchess navy of that ruler of the would have had to buy half the warshps the globe
 The moral of the situation IS plain. The United States should have navy sufficient to meet any pos sble emergency without having rush in hot haste to buy ships from foreign countries after the emer- sency arises It IS gratifying that Congress has shown willingness to vote $5o,oooooo for national defense but it would have been more gratifying II the money had been voted long ago and had been ex- pended i'll building ships in navy yards The United States has faithfully cherished the memory of Washington and the people have made a household proverb of his words To be prepared for war is the most effectual means preserve peace, but for all the wisdom that Congress has learned from them they might as we'll have been forgotten. We have not prepared for war We have built some ships but not enough to guard wide, extended coasts and protect numerous ports The result is that in moment of crisis have to vote $5o,- GOO 900 without debate and be proud of 1t.
 The lesson has been impressive1y given and ought to be prohtably employed. The amount voted for national defense should be made absolutely devoted to, that purpose whether have with Spain or not We should no longer leave ourselves in con dition that compes to buy foreign ships when a third-rate power that whip Cuba threatens with immediate battle

THE SONG OF THE DRUM.

Do you hear my summons hammer thro' the crackle and the clamor, .
 DO you hear my throb and thrill! When I meet the smell of powder on' my merry note grows louder -
 And my song shall not be still . Fellow each beside his fellow, meath the yapors gray and yellow
 Wildly cheering, sternly dumb And rumble rumble, rumble, when the smoke wreaths toss and tumble,
 You shall hear the rolling drum. FOLIO"
 the drum! Men forget their fears and follies as they face the blinding volleys,
 And the young recruits they come, With their simple sunburnt faces from tne quiet country places,
 To the call of me, the drum. Come plowboy lad and carter, and your il1e- blood freely barter
 For the bullet sure for some And rattle rattle, rattle, through the din and roar of battle 1,o,,o.
 the drum! When the boys that follow fast there, droI aside and fall at last there,
 From the surging lines of red. Then no more of pomp and ruffe my notes awhile muffie, T3ut the losing battle needs me, and the whist ling bullet speeds me;
 Through the reeling ranks come. And chatter, chatter, chatter, where the broken regiments scatter.
 You will hear the rolling drum. Follow
 the drumi Pail Mall Gazette.

AN EARLY CAMPAIGN.

n IL signs point to the conclusion that the po / ltlcal campaign sto begin much earlier this year . man IS customary when there IS no Preslden- tial election to engage the attention of the people
 In the Eastern States evidences of activity notable among the leaders of all parties and the activity not ot fictitious character for popular interest the approaching contest is much greater than is usual so tar in advance of the time for holding con- ventlonS and nominating candidates.
 Among the events likely to hasten the opening of the campaign IS the expected early adjournment of Congress. The business of both the House and the Senate is well advanced that the prospects this will be of the shortest on record of what are known as the long sessions of Congress. AS soon as the Congressmen get back to their constituents and set about repairing their fences the struggle will commence in earnest
 The people to be as eager for the contest as the most ardent politician. In all sections of the Union political discussions are beginning to be heard Men announcing their choice of candi- dates for various offices, and not few asplrants frankly announce themselves candidates All these things point to the conclusion that the opposing parties are desirous of hastening the issue much possible, and the leaders will not have much to do to start the campaign and set it rolling rapidly almost as early this year as if Presidential election III sight
 In this condition of the popular mind and With such prospects before them the leaders and organ zers of the Republican party in California should at set about the task of forming clubs and bring ing the full membership of the party into close rea- tionshp with its organization. This Is to be peo- pe's year in this State. Any attempt to run machine politics carry slate made up by bosses to sue cess at the polls will be defeated almost to a cer- tainty It is therefore matter of great importance to get the rank and file of the Republican party or ganized that the members act with effective in determining the course to be pursued III all nominating conventions. If this is not done the campaign will be of hazard, but Ii carried out victory will be virtually assured.
 This, then, is the situation that confronts Repub-
 canism in California. An early organization and free and fair field for all candidates with an untram meled expression of the choice of the rank and file will mean victory for all that Repubcanisnl stands for It will redeem several Congressional districts in the State represented by Democrats or Populists It will assure California for sound money and protection. Any delay in organization, any at tempt at boss dictation at any sort of cut and dried programme arranged by clique will endanger everything and may lose the State and even some of the Congressional districts in the hands of Re publicans. The duty of the hour therefore is or ganizaton. Let the party leaders see to it..

THE OMAHA EXPOSITION.

MAHA will open June I an exposition \ J which will serve the double purpose of show
 ing what the Mississippi and Missouri valley States have accomplished and of stimulating the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast States to make a similar exposition of their resources and industries The prospects that each of these purposes will be fully achieved. The valley States will make splen- did demonstration of the work of their people, and the Western section of the Union will receive an ob- Ject lesson Tn the value of such enterprises which will prompt its people to initiate the energy of the NebrasSans and eclipse their accomplishment
 In one sense the Omaha exposition like all others of its class, is designed to afford opportunity for exhibit of the products of all nations and this design will of course be carried out to greater or less extent Certainly all the States of the Union will have considerable exhibitions there and most of the nations of Europe will be represented in some forms of their industry Nevertheless it will be vir- tualy Mississippi Valley exposition Nebraska and the surrounding States will have the attention of investors and home-seekers while the exposition is going Visitors will see what opportunities are offered in Omaha and the region round about 1t for trade and industry, and these opportunities will con sttute the most important exhibit of the fair
 The States of the West can show many of their products and specimens of their resources at Omaha and from them considerable profit will be derived; but the only way by which to show the West as a whole, even important section of it. IS to hold exposition in the West and bring home-seekers and investors out to the country itself What we could send East, if exered all energies to that end would be but fraction of what we can show to those who would come to San Francisco We can not take the West to the people of the East; we must bring them to the West
 What Omaha can accomplish San Francisco can eclipse if she herself What the States around
 
 geography and history surpass. The coming ex- position of the Golden West ought to far exceed in every way what will be achieved by the trans Mississippi exposition. 1t wil therefore, be worth
