EXPANSION IN THE AIR.

IurnWhere one will, the index I'M
ger of current thought points to ex-
panslon. It seems to be as pervasive
as the air. If manufacturers get to-
gether to confer on their interests the
conference turns to the propaganda
of expansion. If churchmen convene
to consider religious matters their
thoughts reach out to Cuba and the
Philippines. Wherever men gather,
east or west, ior secular or religious
purposes, their utterances are echoes

sage from the chief of prophets,
Isaiah, beginning with enlarge the

the exhortation "Lengthen thy cords

sermon was by no means political
address, but it was an application to
the church and its. mission of the les
son taught by the war which has
made the United States one of the
great powers in the east.
Bishop Tuttle sees in the war and
its results the hard of Providence.
and he emphasized the obligation of
the church to enter upon the new
field of evangelization. He held that
the new opportunities should not ap-
peal to commerce alone. New mar
kets have been opened for the bread
of lite, no less than for the wares of
our skilled industry, and church as
well as state must lengthen the cords
of its tent and strengthen its stakes.
The imperialism of Bishop Tuttle
IS all the more significant because a
few days ago another high dignitary
Of The same church, Bishop Potter,
took the opposite attitude. The
bishop of New York made campaign
speech indorsing the present position
of the Democratic party. lie warned
his hearers against expansion instead
of giving it recognition as a religious
duty. The rebuke administered by
the bishop of ST. Louis was all the
more notable for being impersonal. !
1t furnishes another sure sign of the
direction in which the great current
of American thou ght is flowing. The
few obstacles interposed by reaction
aries serve only to make more obvi-
Gus the direction Of the stream. NoI
public man, whatever his religion or
politics, can expect to stem the rush
ing waters. The current of public |
opinion is not to be turned back. |
With business and religion going one
way, all else is bound to follow.
When those two interests have a
common tendency it would be sheer
madness for any government to
ignore it.--Inter- Ocean.

The news of the bombardment came

heard twice from General Shafter. In
the early morning came telegram say
ing that he had ridden over the Ameri-

that the lines were impregnable, thus
removing any fear of successful sor-

After all the fighting and tales of
the tremendous slaughter there were
less than three hundred Americans
killed at Santiago. Many of the old
soldiers remember skirmishes in the
late war in which more men than
that were killed and the newspapers

fight. We will get used to the kill
ing of large numbers of men before
this war is over if it lasts very long.

"What Is a Bank?"

Some time ago the G o b e called at
What Is a Bank?" by Mr.. William
Z. Cornwell, as one of the most con-
else, lucid and convincing publications
brought out by agitation of the finan-
cial question. The important issue has
passed, but the need for information
remains. There is probably no subject
in the world as little abstruse in Itself
which is so generally misconceived as
the nature and functions of a bank.
What the bank is for, what are it's re-
latiOns with it's depositors on one SIDE
and its borrowers on the other, how it
serves different individuals and oc-
equations in the community, what it
does with the funds submitted to its
care, what are the sources from Which
its profits are drawn, what are the
limitations of those gains, and, abcve
all, what is the difference to the COM
munity at large between a section well
supplied with banks and one in which
there are none at all, are questions that
it would probably puzzle even an
ordinarily intelligent man outside of
the banking business to answer salts
factorily
All of these points, involving practi-
cally the entire relation Of the bank to
the community, are set forth by Mt
Cornwel with such simplicity and
fidelity to fact that we be-
lieve that we shall do
service to the people and aid
work of education by republishing this
matter in little chapters from day to
day. Beginning with this morning,
there will be found upon the editorial
page of The G | o b each day a section
of the pamphlet referred to. Ell w n
brief chapters will cover the whole.
We advise our readers to cut these out.

them together in an old book and re-

fused CT bedeviled by theoretical ar
guments or plain everyday abuse of

not one sentence in these little daily

The New York Evening Post makes
another of those curious breaks into
which It is led occasionally by it's strong
preposseSsiOns. Last week it was the
Monroe doctrine that led it astray.
This week. in pointing out objections
to war, 1t says: "The condition of
The starving ones would be made worse
rather than better. because we should
begin b!ockading the island and cutting
off the supplies they now receive" It
IS surprising to find the intelligent Post
talking nonsense like this. To blockade
q port or coast is to station warships
tn front of it, so that no hostile vessels
can so in or come out. Where the ports
are not fortified it does not re-
quire a pOnderous intellect to
see that persons friendly to
the blockading navy could go back
and forth precisely as they pleased.
The idea that a Cuban blockade, main
tanned and enforced by United States
men-of-war, would prevent other YES
sells of the United States from passing
through its lines to land relief stores
on the coast of Cuba, and so "cut off
the supplies" that now keep the Cubans
from starving, is one of the most re-
markable that ever found entrance to
the editorial mind. The Post, it seems
to Us, is nodding little too often.

sundry more or less eminent Republi-
cans have said, the difference being,
probably, that Mr.. Croker meant what
he said and they were merely talking to
the galleries.
This talk the Tribune denounces as
not only wicked, but reasonable, be-
cause it cultivates hatred against the
silent partner in the firm. But it does
not credit Mr. Croker with sincerity. He
is merely trying to "get rid Of the sill
yer ISSUE and leads an assault upon
the trusts as a diversion. He would
direct the charge Of the national De-
mocracy in the congressional elections
this fall, and on the general field in
1900 against the trusts, entrenched in
earthworks of special legislation enact
ed by Republican congresses. Posi-
bly, the Tribune may be correct Pos
slbiy Mr.. Croker sees, as did so many
Democrats who refused to follow their
party in 1896. that there was then and
now is a larger question involved in
the opposition to Republicansm than
the silver issue; one the answer to
which will determine how much real
freedom Americans shall have in the
future. If it be true that Mr. Croker
is trying ito make this the real issue in
1900, as the Tribune charges, we must
give him credit for a larger statesman
ship than his relations with city poll
tics have hitherto warranted.
But the Tribune does not despair
1T is not in the least certain" it says,
that any good, however limited or
remote, can come from this attempt

How correct it is will depend entirely
upon how unable Democratic leaders
may be in 1900 to "see the cat" and
discover the greater ISSUE obscured, in
1896, by the nearness of the far lesser
one. as the penny before the eye hides

A Case of Greatness Thrust.

The New York Tribune is thrusting
Mr.. Richard Croker into national
prominence. What greatness he has
achieved as master of his party in
primitive and now the greater New
York was his own achievement. What
greatness he may hereafter gain the
Tribune seeks to thrust upon him.
Frequently, Of late, that sentinel on the
country's watch tower has emitted SOL
e1nn, if somewhat hysterical warnings
that Mr. Croker was reaching out of
Tammany Hall to direct the affairs of
the state and Of the nation through
the Democratic party. It's latest warn
ing is based upon some counsel Mr..
Croker gave to the Democratic contin-
gent in the New York legislature rela-
tive to the policy they should pursue.
He was very plain-spoken about the
partnership between trusts, monopolies
and the government, both state and
national, in which the trusts furnished
the brains and schemes and took the
profit, while the government furnished
