AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION

The excellent suggestion is made, as
will be seen by reference to the head Of
this column, that a supply of reading
matter be sent to Manila for the use of
Admiral Deweys men, and it is to be
hoped that the contributions will be both
appropriate and generous.
The Southern California boys are soon
to sail for the Philippines, unless the
plans of the government should be
changed. IT would be good idea to pro-
vide reading matter for them also. The
voyage to Manila will be long, and .wear-
some. and good reading matter would
doubtless be appreciated.
Two birds might be killed with ons
stone, so to speak, by stipulating and ar
ranging that any reading matter con-
tributed for the use of the California
troops shall be preserved for the use Of
the heroes of Manila. The Herald does
not desire to jeopardize the original idea,
which is a splendid one, but there should
be no difficulty in securing plenty of read
ing matter for both the soldiers and the
sailors.
The herald., 1898-05-12
THOSE COMPLICATIONS

The fidgety must have spent many
distressing nights in apprehension of In.
tervention by some of the great European
powers in behalf of Spain. Since Austria
has decided to be neutral their nerves
nave probably become more calm. The
promptness with which Great Britain
defined her position removed doubt as
to what Austria, France or any other
pro-Spanish country would feel obliged
to do. The potency of the bund Of
European nations lies in a cordial con-
cert of action. The dissent of great ma
tion like Great Britain or Russia deprives
the bund Of it's terrors. European
continental nations have quite enough to
attend to at home without branching
out and taking part in conflicts beyond
their jurisdiction, and in which they
have not a shadow Of right to interfere
1t is to be hoped that thought will now be
diverted from the subject of European in
tervention and turned to rendering aid
that will bring the war to a speedy, and
to this country triumphant, result.

WHILE OUR EYES ARE BArrEp

Occurrences that would ordinarily at
tract widespread attention are lost sight
of entirely because of the greater interest
universally taken in the details of an
international imbroglio of possible wide
Significance. The events of apparently
lesser Importance might be permitted to
pass without comment inasmuch as
dimculty is experienced in securing pub
lie consideration Of them, but for the
danger to the common veal which they
really accentuate.
The statement that a small syndicate
Of financial men in this country has pur-
chased large blocks Of bonds, the ulti-
mate redemption OF which turns upon
the outcome Of the war with Spain. IN

no general concern.

TEDDY AND HIS COWBOYS

Therell be music In the air, echoes will go
on a tear,
And the breezes will be too much skeered
to sigh;
And you'll see the warlike Dons all un-
couple from their guns
And skedaddle without whispering good
bye!
Every face will pale with fear, every bosom
heave with skeer.
And with terror every Spanish heart Will
quail!
O. they'll know that war is hell when they
hear that western yell,
When our Teddy and his cowboys hit
the trail!
They have sneered at yankee hogs" and
the iron-throated dogs
That from out the armored warships
sharply bark;
They have told us every day that TO whip
us would be play
VIII be but sort Of Spanish picnic lark
But you'll notice that ere long they will
sing another song.
You will hear them tell widely different
tale
On their head each frightened hair will
be standing in the air,
When our Teddy and his cowboys hit
the trail!
How the broncos will cavort. how they'll
prance around and snort.
When the riders os the ranges sight the
foe,
And the laddies, with q yell, will start
ling story tell,
While their pistols punetuate the tale of
woe!
Just as we'll attempt to try for to dip the
ocean dry
Or 70 check the maddened fury of the
gale,
AS to stop the wild advance of the men in
leather pants
When our Teddy and his cowboys hit
the trail!

THE WASHINGTON MACHINE

It is almost criminal follylfor the presi-
dent to assume to direct the movements
Of army and navy from the Washington
standpoint. 1t cannot be successfully ac-
complished. If the commanders of our
men and our ships are not to have dis
erection, great achievements need not be
looked for. The headquarters Of the army
should be In the saddle. The head
quarters Of the navy should be on the
bridge of the flagship. If the president is
to command the army and direct all
of its movements, as he is by the consti-
should go to the front, as many great
rulers In the past have done-as William
and Napoleon did in the war of 1870, as
Frederick the Great and Bonaparte, as
kings and princes during all time have
been wont to do.
Who today does not believe the civil
war could have been brought to sue
cessful conclusion in two years had the
military chieftains from the first been
given discretion in the planning and: car
rying out Of the campaigns against the
enemy-had they not been hampered for
three years by the alleged strategists at
Washington? Was not the northern
army whipped to a standstill in Virginia.
until Grant was given command and
authorized to manage his own campaigns
free from capital dictation or intermed-
ding? Was not the cutting of the con-
federacy in twain and the division of its
armies postponed until Sherman broke
away from telegraphic communication
with the capital. and started upon his
unimpeded march to the sea? Who does
not believe the confederate generals were
most successful when given free rein
when they were out of touch with Rich
mcnd-when the atmosphere surround
