THE TERMS FOR PEACE.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

FROM tne 1Ellauelpnld bulletln.
The announcement that the French AMI
bassador al Washington appeared at .he
white house yesterday ara made over
lures on behalf of Spain for peace is the
hrst substantial sign of a disposition at
Madrid to enter into negotiations for
ending the war.
1t Is likely that the Frerch ambassa dor
has been requested to sound the Ameri-
can government as to the terms which it
will offer.
The administration has at no time sig
nified the conditions which It Will demanl
as basis for peace, but there are sew
cral propositions which the American peo-
pie will expect 1t to rest upon. These are:
First-The recognition OF Cuban inde-
pendence under an American protector
ate.
Second-The abandonment OF Porto
Rico, which Spain cannot be allowed to
hold without 1t becoming a menace TO
Cuba and our future policy toward Cuba
Third-The payment of the expenses
of the United States government in car
rying on the war, which up to this time
are believed to aggregate about Sl75,OOO,-
600.
Fourth-The retention of The Philippine
Islands until this payment has been made,
and then home rule for the Philippine ISL
anders.
On these four propositions Presids1t
Mckinley and his cabinet sohud agree
as the terms of the United States, They
express substantially the prevailing feel
ing of the people OF this country; they
embody Just and reasonable policy for
peace. and Spain reed not expect to hig-
gle for anything easier.

1t will be my purpose when elected to

and good will of those who have opposed
me as well as those who have given me
their support. l shall be the governor
OF the whole people of the state. Abuses
have undoubtedly grown up in the lesis-

party nor the other. but rather the
growth of custom. Unnecessary investi-

the state. 1t will be my care and pur-
pose to correct these and other evils in so
far as l have the power. 1t will be my
purpose while governor of Pennsylvania,
as 1t has been my purpose in the public
positions that l have held with Gods
help, to discharge my whole duty. The
people are greater than the parties to
which they belong. I am only jealous Of
their favor. | shall only attempt to win
their approval and my experience has
taught me that that can best be done by
an honest. modest. daily discharge OF
public duty.

War News Is Expensive.

The Chicago Times-Herald has an
nounced that on and after August the
price Of the paper will be 2 cents per
copy. This is a return to the price at
which the paper was scld for a num-
Der of years before keen rivalry
brought about a reduction to one cent
copy. In explaining its course the
Tlmes-Herald presents an array of
facts that are applicable to almost ev-
cry daily newspaper in the country. 1t
says:
Since the beginning of the war there
has been large increase In the cost or
white print paper, which has. of course,
increased the loss on each copy of the
newspaper.
Another formidable item of additional
outlay has been the tolls on cablcsrams
from the Philippines. Cuba, Porto Rico
Jamaica and IIayti. The reader may
form an idea of the heavy expense of the
Times-Iferald syndicate cable service
when 1t is stated that the cablegram from
Santiago detailing the destruction of Ger
vera's fleet cost 5000.
Notwithstanding this enormous expense
there has been no Increase from advertis-
ing In the revenues of Chicago news
papers In fact some lines of advertising
as proprietary remedies, declined heavily
or ceased altogether.
The Times-Herald desires to do busi-
ness on a business basis and this Is not
possible upon a basis of cent per copy.
hence the decision to return to the former
selling price of the daily to 2 cents.
The war experience of the Times
Herald has been duplicated to a cer-
tain extent everywhere. Few persons
realize the expense that has been nec-
essary I'm the way of special corre-
spondence, increased news rates, etc,
that newspapers In this vicinity might
keep their readers informed as to the
events of interest at the front. While
the increase in circulation has been
large the revenue therefrom would
scarcely make a beginning toward de-
fraying the extra expense incurred.
People who imagine that the American
newspapers are reaping a harvest from
the war are decidedly in error.

SONG OF THE NEW HEROES.

And some of them have freckles on
their toes,
| They've scars and bandages in sundry
places
As proof of the attentions of their foes.
There are some who really ought to see

Their tailors surely never earned their
pay
But we'd know them anywhere as our
new heroes
The men the Nation honors- Hip,
hooray!
Chorus.
They're coming home together
To meet us all again,
The men the Nation honors,
The men who conquered Spain;
Ard when they march down Broadway
Well tear the sky with cheers
| For army and for navy,
And gallant volunteers.
| There is Dewey, whom Augusti swore to
murder,
To hang upon the trees with all his
But Dewey didn't understand the pro-
gram
And so he smashed Monteio in his den.
There is Hobson. earned the foeman's
admiration

That when the Spaniard fed in despera-

He had to make his dash in broad day

The men who conquered Spain:
And when they march down Broadway

And sent them all to Davy Jones main;

There's Shafter and his men from San

They drew the lines so close about the

Philadelphia North American.

We know that men like Gomez, Estrada
Palma. Nunez and many other more are
wholly competent TO govern Cuba and to
make it free and happy. 1t is quite with.
in the proba bilities that this Garcia
Shafter incident is a pure fake, intended
to create a sentiment favorable to an
nexation. But the object of the invasion
was defined by the congressional resoiu-
tion, in which it was most emphatically
declared that Cuba, by right should be
free and Independent. When Spanish
rule ceases there cuba should prepare to
establish government by the people.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Taking all the circumstances into con-
sideration unless General Shafter alludcs
to the matter in his official report to
Washington suspicion will deepen into
conviction that the whole affair is an i'm
pudent fake, and that the alleged cores
pondence between Garcia and Shafter is
forgery. That raises the question
whether Garcia has actually withdrawn,
and how much of the sensational stories
about the Cuban performances and nom
performances around Santiago can be be-
lieved.

The important thing about this Glen
fuegos petition is not Its specific terms,
but its tone. 1t is clear from it that the
majority of the people of Cuba realize
that 1t is only right and proper that we
should decide on the details of admins
tration. They realize that the patriots
are deeply in our debt, that we have
made great sacrifices for the cause of
freedom, that we have spent blood and
treasure on the great enterprise of bring
ing Spanish rule to an end in this west
ern hemisphere.

An Inhuman Law.

A suit for damages for the loss OF
the life of a child in New Jersey has
just brought to the surface one of the
most inhuman laws that ever dis
graced civilized state. 1t places the
value of a childs life at 81. In setting
aside the verdict OF a jury Justice
Gummere, of the state Supreme court,
has given a decision that has made
him famous in certain way.
In giving his decision in the case the
justice said 1t was his duty to interpret
the law as he finds 1t, which NAV be
party to the act of brutality. The
law, Justice Gummere said, in effect,
presumes a child is OF no financial
value to the parents: indeed. it is a
source OF expense: therefore IL it be
killed it is not a loss but a gain to the
parents, as the law requires compcnsa-
ton for damages that are actual
rather than potential.
Dissection of the body of the framer
of that law would reveal a stone where
who would coldly compute the value of
a child's life in dollars and cents would
charge admission to see friend in the
throas of death.
Such a law is a disgrace to New
Jersey, and II manhood in that state
has not sunk 10 the depths Of depravi-
ty it will demand it's repeal.

The reported misunderstanding between
General Garcia and General Shafter
shows In any event that we have an ex-
tremely sensitive people to deal with. 1t
Is not surprising that the Cuban leaders
object to the retention of the Spanish Of
fcials in power in Santiago. To the in
surgents those officials represent Spain,

years the insurgents have been fighting

Coroner Ashbridge, of Philadelphia,
gave a somewhat remarkable criticism
of hospital management in general the
other day, after the jury's finding in
the case of a boy who had died from
lock jaw. The case had been treated
at Hahnemann hospital. and 1t was al
legged that the lads father had received
abusive treatment from one Of the res
ident physicians. After a careful in
vestigation the jury censured this doc
tor, recommending his dismissal from
the staff. The coroner then took the
occasion to state that while the Hah-
nemann hospital, which is a most
worthy institution, was in no way to
be blamed for the unfortunate circum-
stance. yet it was only another in
stance of employing resident ply
sicians from out of the city who, by
affiliations and home environment, may
have less care as to their personal
conduct in the pursuance Of their duty.
This rather extreme comment has been
made regarding the hospitals of this
city in recent years. In credit to our
hospitals and their management, it can
be said, however, that but few COM
plants of similar nature to that Of
fered in Philadelphia are recorded
against any of the changeful line of
resident physicians, whether they were
natives or importations.
