POLITICAL DISCRIMINATION.

The New York Times is an able news
paper. but il is governed largely by its
/ prejudices and financial views.
1t has contended since the beginning
Of the present war that a civilian is not

this contention in the face OF the his
/ tory OF the civil war.
Nevertheless, two or three civilians
were entrusted with regiments over
| the usually potent protest of the Times.
One has had an opportunity 10 show
that leader can lead, VII Their he de-
ponds on technical knowledge or horse
serse.
The Times calls attention to the cour-
age and ability of one who led at San
tiago, and still leads, although he en-
tered the conflict without military
training or experience. The Times
saya:
When he gave up civil lie and offered
his services to the government in the
army. he did so from she most con
scieEtious and unselfsh motives. Main
ly. we imagine. h felt impel,ed to pay

that debt OF responsibility which he
had incurred by his vigorous advocacy
OF the policy that led to the war.
The Times would not speak thus of
Colonel Bryan. II does not like

his financial views. But it agrees with
Roosevelt. Ii is trying to boom him
for governor of New York. 1t made
that remark about him.
Yet Roosevelt knows no more about
military tactics than does Bryan. Both
are colonies, but the Times only recon-
Giles Itself to one-the one it agrees
with on the money question.
There is considerable politics in this
war, in spite of all denials.

SANTIAGO suRRENDERs.

Santiago has capitulated. 1t is glo-
rious triumph for American arms. The
city was doomed, and while the Span
iards could still have made stubborn
defense destroying the lives of many
American soldiers and sacrificing those
of their own, it would all have been a
wanton waste of human life. accom-
plishing no good purpose. 1t is a mat
ter to be thankful for that General
Toral finally surrendered without
further resistance, for it could only
have resulted in the destruction of the
town. He and his brave soldiers are

be furnished by the United States for
that purpose. AS a mere matter Of
financial foresight, this will be a good
thing to do, for the expense of carrying
back to their native land these defeated
soldiers win be far less than TO trans
port them to our own country and here
maintain them until peace is re-estab-
lished But what will be the sensations
of the men carried back TO their native
land by the foe against whom they
have been fighting? Their own coun-
Try could not do it for them. and while
this is so. still they cannot but feel
Inundated; nothing could so have i'm
pressed them with the decay and impo-
tence of their country.
And what viii be the effect of the
surrender of Santiago upon the general
course of the war? There is still a
powerful army in and around Havana.
while that city itself it said to be su-
perbly fortified. To take it. by siege or
assault. will require many thousands
Of men, and, by the former method,
probably much time. But Blanco Will
have to be governed by Madrid, and
Madrid may ask for peace terms at no
distant Gay. The fail of Santiago in
all probability means the opening Of
Negotiations for peace.
How grand and glorious is the fall
of Santiago! How grand and glorious
have been the victories of the war!

DECEPTIVE METHODS.

On the same day that an eastern
Democratic convention declared for
/ Bryan ard free silver. the Provo En-
I Guirer came out with an assertion that
eastern Democrats had refused to en-
derse Bryan and silver.
Every Democratic state convention
held this Year. even in the far east, has
endorsd Bryan and the Chicago plat
form. And every time the Enquirer
tells bow silver is losing ground with
the Democrats.
But this is not the only way in which
the Enquirer is trying to deceive its
! readers. Yesterday the National League
of Republican clubs gave it out cold
that silver has nothing to hope for in
the Republican party.
TO be more explicit, the league adopt
ed this resolution: I'VE are u-compro-
misinEly in favor Of the maintenance
of the single gold standard"
on the very same day the Provo En-
quirer editorialIy remarked:
The Republican party has been in the
hab of standing by its platforms, and
the last simply promised to continue
the present system of finances until
the other nations could be Induced to
join II currency reform. The party
therefore, stands committed to bimetal-
hsm in the fullest sense. and some day
il must vote for the free coinage OF
gold ard silver. But when it does
come, we would have it so general
throughout the world that silver will
be entirely as good as gold
Could deception be more brazen, or
exposure more complete?

THE HoNoRs OF WAR.

In the terms of surrender for San
tiaGo it was provided that the Spanish
troops should march out with the hon
ors of war; just what they were is not
known as yet, but they no doubt were
more in the nature of a salve for
wounded Spanish honor than anything
else.
The term, 'honors of war" has no
fixed meaning. but in what the honors
shall consist is matter for stipulation
between the commanders of the vic
torious and defeated armies. Sometimes
the troops of a besieged city, such as
Santiago was, are permitted to march
out with drums beating, colors flying
and the like, while in other cases they
are required to lay down their arms at
a named spot and then depart; while
in still other cases they are required to
march back to their works, after hav-
ing been permitted to march out either
silently or with drums beating, and pile
their arms in front of their works
What We're the stipulations in the
case of the surrender of Santiago will
be known in a day or two. Having a
suppHant foe at her feet, America is
not at all inclined to exult. The Amer
lean people will not be inclined to find
fault because the Spaniards were al
lowed TO march out with the honors of
war. They We're at the mercy of the
American army. and the American
army can afford to be generous, and
will be. There IS nowhere any desire
to glcat over Spain. notwithstanding
her record of cruelty in Cuba.

THE EVOLUTION OF BAD NEWS

In Spain evil tidings seem TO reverse
the usual custom by travelling slowly.
This popularity was especially noticeable
in the case of the disaster to the Ceryera
feet Here for instance, is about the
way the news Of the Schley victory reach
cd Madrid. II came in easy stages and
" cumulative approaches and seemed,
as it were, to Illustrate a new theory of
evolutionary truth telling.
2 II IS understood that Admiral Ger
vera has taken his fleet from under the
very noses Of the Yankee pigs. and sailing
through their midst has calmly and de-
libeTately Withdrawn to a port previously
decided upon. The Yankees shrank back
in terror when they saw his dignified ap-
proach. and quickly made room for him.
He threw a few shells into them as he
passed one of which penetrated the flag
ship ard killed 43 men. The brave ad-
miral and his gallant ships will soon be
heard from.
9. Il is understood that Admiral Ger
veras aeet left Santiago harbor on the
Sd instant. Heavy cannonading was heard
outside the entrance. and 1t is believed a
naval battle is raging. AT the present
moment the Yankee ships are in fun re-
