WAR LESSONS.

IL the present war serves the United
States no better purpose IL can scarcely
fail to prove of some practical value
rs public instructor. There are some
lessons which the people OF this coun-
try and their government representa-
tives need To learn, and which as mere
abstract propositions seem TO be diff
cult To master. The war is giving us a
series of object lessons we'll calculated
to elucidate these matters, and If we
do not learn the lessons now we must
be wofully obtuse.
The lesson of the necessity of "a re-
spectacle standing army, and of bet
ter disciplined National Guard might
have been little more pointed, per-
haps, if we had happened to have gone
To war with England or Germany or
Russia, instead of third or fourth
class power like Spain. But the war
has set us lesson to con just the same.
The lesson of a better navy we have
been slowly and dreamily porting over
for decade, and there is really some
reason To believe that we might have
learned that, in the course of time
without the war; but the war will make
it easier and tend to fix it more firmly
in mind. AS a tutor the war has a
number of interested foreign pupils.
also, it may be observed.
For fifty years we have been trying
to learn whether or not we really need
the Hawaiian Islands AT times we
have almost come TO the conclusion
that we do; but then some foreign in
huence would send US chapter on
European diplomacy mot the kind
which the European Powers use in
their own affairs, but some theoretical
stuff manufactured especially for
American consumption, and we would
again fall into condition of doubling.
We have hardly entertained n real
doubt that in case of international com
plications which would mix us up with
Asiatic matters in manner not alto
gether fraternal and friendly, Hawaii
would be a convenient stepping stone
in reaching Asiatic waters: but then
what was ever going to mix US up IL
an Asiatic unpleasantness? Who ever
dreamed that war with Spain over
Cuba, which lies at our very threshold
was going to initiate itself with bat
tie in Asiatic waters? and that ia it:
role as tutor it was going to assign al
our first lesson the Importance of ac
cepting the gift of the most strategic
point in the whole Pacific ocean,

MAT" Wixom's big troupe of we'll
trained dogs and ponies, comprising
what is acknowledged as the best at
traction OF its kind touring the states
today, opened last night to an audience
that comfortably crowded the COM
modous tent on the grounds near the
Michigan Central round house, north
Michigan avenue. The show is good
from start to finish, and the wonderful
acts of the dogs and ponies display a
skill that borders closely upon the
realm of human intelligence. After
witnessing performance of WiXom's
dog and pony circus one cannot recall
the line, ''be kind TO dumb brutes"
without looking at the clever little
animals as almost human. The mar
velous feats of the dogs and ponies,
the ridiculous acts OF the dumb clowns
form an entertainment which every
child and grown up person In Saginaw
should see Two hours with the dogs
and ponies at Wixom's is worth twice
the price of admission.-Saginaw
