IT TAKES NERVE.

The commanding general ordinarily is
not exposed to the dangers which con-
front the soldier in the line of battle.
But the commanding officer of naval
vessel, OF all men on board, is in the
greatest peril. In the battleships and
cruisers his position is in a cyclindri-
cal box of steel, placed just under the
bridge. well forward, which is called
the coming tower. The armor. of it is
thick enough ordinarily to resist. the
penetration of heavy projectiles. 1t
contains the speaking-tu and cleo
trical wires whereby he communicates
with the guns, engines and helm, and
sometimes apparatus whereby he is
enabled to fire the guns himself after
they are laid upon the enemy. His
field Of vision is limited to what he,
can see through a little horizontal slit
on about the level of his eye. In point
of frightfuI responsibility no situation
in the world can compare with that
which is occupied by the man who
stands in that tower and directs the
movement Of his ship. After the con-
fiict once begins the din about him will
be something internal. Upon him the
fire of the enemy will be concentrated,
and upon the exterior of that steel
drum in which he is shut up there will
be a continuous hail of iron and steel
Shells will burst everywhere around
II, and to that babel will be added the
roar Of the force blast under the en-
gines, the tremendous reports of the
heavy guns, and the din of the quick
fire and machine guns in chorus. In
such circumstances as this, aided by
such knowledge as he can get by look
ing out through the little peep hole in
front Of him, as we'll as the smoke will
let him, the captain must control the
tremendous forces under his command.
and his decisions are matters of sec
onds,

DUTCH BILL HEDGES.

Hohenzollern Bill and his Dutch
crew are crawfshing. His eminence
has instructed his retainers to give it
out that at heart, and away down deep,
he is, and always has been. for Ameri-
ca; that only because of European
pathized with Hispano. The truth of
the matter is that the bumptious En-
peror Of Greater Germany would have
Jumped into the air, cracked his heels
and yelled until the leaves Under
dem Lindens'' quivered had Dewey
fallen, down in Manila bay. His talk
at the dissolution of the reichstag of
strict neutrality, and his later avowals
of friendship, as expressed in yester-
day mornings dispatches count for
nothing in this country as against the
fact that he had sent three gunboats
sneaking at the heels of the dauntless
Dewey, not only as a menace but for
the purpose of further embarrassing
the United States of America in the
event of any mishap before Cavite in
the waters of Manila But for the fact
that France. whose capital is pam
pered by American money, hates the
United States, the Emperor of Ger
many would have openly sided with
Spain. AS it is, he refused-as all the
other decent nations promptly did--to
issue a proclamation of neutrality.
He was not neutral. Whether he was
the friend of Spain or not, he has been
tn secret enemy of the United States,
a country whose most loyal citizens
are Germans. The level-headed Ger
man-American citizen does not fall
down before a crown. He believes in
a government of the people, loves free
institutions and glories in personal
freedom. Red-tape royalty commands
neither this love nor respect. Hence
Hohenzollern's littleness or bitterness.
His grand stand play of Saturday will
fool nobody on the occidental side of the
Atlantic. This feather-headed rooster
of hereditary royalty has slashed into
several countries with hasty demands,
backed by his war ships. Some day
before long, in the exigencies of a pro-
longer war with Spain, some German
vessel will fall into the clutches of our
navy. when if this bumptious Bill
wants to find out the difference be-
tween bluhing poor effete China or the
mercurial French, and America, let
him once attempt his superior airs
and demands.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE EAGLE.

1t was lately asserted that President
Mckinley had been perusing the col
umns of the Eagle. Whether the dec
laration was founded on fact or was
but surmise. yesterday mornings dis
patches made it clear to every reader
of this paper that the president had
got on to the Eagles war platform
of instantly crushing Spain and speed
lily ending the war; that the policy Of
retaining the Philippines. investing
Porto Rico and invading Cuba, advo-
Gated by this paper, is to be the policy
of the administration. These are the
lines to pursue. and with that vigor
Of which this country is alone capable.
With the Philippines held. Porto Rico
invested and Cuba invaded, the con-
flict would be so speedily terminated
that the people of this country. their
commercial and financial interests,
would not have time to feel or even
realize that there had been a war.
Thre is more in such a policy, success
fully carried out, than the freedom of
Cuba and the conservation Of the finan-
eial interests of the United States.
There is prestige in it. the prestige of
power and of greatness. which. in not
being lost on the world, will prove of
immense and momentous advantages To
the American nation. Bombard MORO

wild animals and no birds of prey, and
none were ever known TO exist on the
island, except Weyler and his cohorts.
Turtles, fish and oysters flourish, in

GIVE US A CHANCE.

If General Weyler will only persist
in agitating for movement on the
part Of the Spanish navies and armies
until he compels reluctant ministry
to take some active steps against the
United States he will deserve a vote
Of thanks from congress. If we can
only get the Spanish to come out and
fight, we will have no trouble in end
ing this war speedily. 1t is through the
desire on the part of the Spanish to
avoid a conflict that they are enabled
to maintain a front for while longer.
Commodore Dewey was compelled to
enter the harbor of Manila and attack
the Spanish fleet under the guns Of
their own batteries and fortresses.
SPANS attitude is somewhat like that
of the average talking prize fighter.

for the fellows who failed to pass the
physical examination and who are still
burning with desire TO participate in the
glories of war.

refused as a private on account Of his
lack of SUFFICIENT inches. went with the
cavalry troop as a sergeant. So long as
Hunter is member Of the troop Captain
Houston is advised to sleep with his COM
