The Work of u ResourcefuI Nation,

The expedition TO the Philippines is now
well under way. and it is to be expected
that in very few days the bulk of the
entire force that is to be sent TO permit
the military occupation of the islands will
De ON the ocean. Instead of savage criti-
cism of supposed delays there is reason
to congratulate the government on its ex-
peditiods management of this enterprise.
The need for troops in this PARKWAY re-
gion developed with startling suddenness
The military occupation of the islands was
not part of the program at the time
Dewey was sent from Hong Kong to de
stroy the enemy's fleet" The fact that
he found the enemy in Manila harbor and
his unexpectedly complete success gave
this country an unlooked-for opportunity
TO deal Spain a telling blow. The emer-
gency was quickly met When every con-
dition Is considered the assembling. equip
ping and shipping of an army of ten or
fifteen thousand men at San Francisco
within a month from the receipt of Deweys
report especially after the bulk of the avail
able troops had been dispatched to the ex-
IRENE east, will be a great achievement. Ths
case involved many vital possibilities The
expedition must succeed. Failure on land
after such a decisive victory on the sea
could not be permitted. Therefore the
troops, destined for an unfamiliar climate
and for responsible work under new con-
ditions, must be provisioned and supplied
with unusual care The army was to be
sent 10 point farther from home shores
than an American force was ever before
dispatched II was an entirely novel un-
dertaking. with no pvecedents for guild
ance, with no experiences to teach the right
way. with nothing but theories and gen.
era4 familiarity with military necessities
upon which to base the preparations The
troop ships had TO be iu:provised out of
liners The work to be done was of great
proportions. But it has been well done
Ihe men are being sent away in such num-
Ders as are safe. with thorough equipment
and with every detail for their comfort in
camp and efficiency in battle provided for
Less than this has been done by European
nations In various campaigns remote from
nome with much more labor and seIf-ap-
piause- Here the Philippine expedition has
been QUILTED as a mere incident tn the
general york of closing in on Spain in
Cuban waters A less resourceful nation

ness for war. might easily have been Grip

big country. but that it has its powers

From the New York Jouina (dem)
1t is time for the will of the democratic
masses to be impressed Enthusiastically upon
their representatives at Washington. The
democracy must support the annexation Of
Hawaii.
This is not matter upon which the
party can exercise choice. 1t IS an affair Of
life or death for the organization.
Hawaii Is going to be annexed. Make no
mistake about that. The only question is
whether the democracy shall share the
glory of the deed or whether 1t shall APP
pear in the odious and disastrous light Of
an obstructionist.
On such a point there is no room for
discussion. AS it hopes for future as an
American party the democracy must stand
by the American people.
Such opposition to Hawaii as exists in
the democratic party had its origin in the
stolid. brutal toryism of Grover Cleveland
the most un-democratic President that ever
entered the White House. The democrats
of the United States repudiated Cleveland
in 1895, and why should they stagger now
under the incubus of mis- despised and de-
spicable foreign policy?
Let the democracy grow up with the
country. Let 1t follow the course of ma
tional development which implies expan-
sion from time TO time as an imperative
necessity. Let 1t take warning by the fate
of its first great opponent, the once mighty
federal party, and avoid the deadly blum
der OF putting itself in an anti-national at
titude.
Even though the annexation of Hawaii
should seem to be of temporary advan-
tage to the republicans, the democrats can
not afford to oppose it. They cannot be-
tray the country for the sake of depriving
their opponents Of a bit Of political capital.
The way to reduce the republican partisan
advantage to a minimum is to make an
nexation national matter. Of which no
party can claim monopoly.
We warn the democrats in Congress- that
IL they try to deprive America Of the superb
gift that is now within her grasp they will
cut themselves of from their constituents
They viii become leaders without follow
ers. And they will not have even the poor
satisfaction of accomplishing their evil
purpose. They will merely have followed
Cleveland, Reed and the sugar trust to a.
needless and Intellectual humiliation
For Hawaii is going to be annexed

DELAY OF ANNEXATION.
Discomfort Becoming Stronger In the
House.


From the New York Tribune (rep)
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The discomfort
and dissatisfaction among republican rep
resentatives on account of the delay which
they regard as unreasonable. of the consid-
GRAFTON Of the Hawaiian annexation reSolu-
ton have become exceedingly active and
strong, and unless steps are taken early
next week to bring the joint resolution be-
fore the House the disconnected ones will
try to force caucus to consider the mat
ter. Indeed. General Grosvenor of Ohio,
chairman of the republican caucus organ
ization, had a call for caucus in his pos
session today signed by a sufficient number
OF members, requesting that one be held
this evening. After consultation with a
number of the signers, however, he decided
not to issue the call today, but expects to
do so on Tuesday unless in the meantime
assurances of prompt and speedy action on
the Joint resolution are given
Some weghty reasons for such action are
now urged which have not heretofore fig
ured in the discussions. For example. a
member of the cabinet last night called
attention to the fact that the troopships
now on the way from San Francisco to
Manila will land at Honolulu, and not only
replenish their supplies of coal, but send
the troops ashore to rest and recuperate
for day or more He thought that Spain
might have not only a ground for just
complaint. but for claim for damages
against Hawaii on this account, despite the
TACT that the latter has not declared her
neutrality A similar suggestion was made
by Chairman Hit of the House committee
on foreign affairs, in conversation with a
friend today. He also added that while
the United States has not a pound of coal
accessible at Pearl Harbor or in Pango-
Pango Harbor, it has some 1900 tons at
Honolulu or on its way there. which is
absolutely vital to the success of naval and
military operations in the Philippines
Chairman Hit is earnestly in favor of
speedy action by the House of Representa-
tives on the annexation resolution The
same Is true Of more than nine tenths of
the republican members of the House and
of a score or more of the democratic mem

Balloons in Naval Warfare.

Inc value of war balloons receives strong
demonstration in the present situation with
regard TO the location of the Spanish fleet.
Inc question of whether not that fleet
Is really In Santiago harbor might readily
be solved by the use of a balloon such as
those that have been perfected for this
very purpose of scouting from heights
The modern war balloon is easily managed
when compared with it's old-fashioned pro-
totype, which was the victim of the eIe-
ments and as frequently as not went too
far astray TO be Of actual use to its pos
SCISSORS. Steering deTices have been invent
ed and rendered OF actual service in OPERA
ton. The management of valves and bal
last has been studied until the store of ex-
pert knowledge has been greatly increased
Methods of retaining control of the balloon
from the ground without interfering with
Its Tree flight to considerable height are
now at hand. The sole question in this
particular case is whether balloon could
readily be inflated from the deck of ship
and sent thence into the upper regions. If
this could be done 1t might not be difficult
for agents of the blockading force to secure
clear view of the whole stretch of Santi-
ago harbor, thus disclosing the presence or
absence of the Spanish vessels that are
just now so much sought after by the
American navy. 1t is not likely, however,
that this expedient will be adopted in tn,
present instance. Indeed, 1t is more prob
able that the naval authorities are by this
time we'll satisfied concerning the where
abouts of Cervera's vessels. But the situ-
alton sufficiently suggests the possibilities
of usefulness of the balloon in naval war
fare. The mode of construction Of the
ship-of-war of the present, with its lack
of rigging and upper works, is such as to
permit balloon imitation from the deck
much more easily than could have been
