The Finest Type of Patriotism.

The statement elsewhere concerning
the needs of the Medico- Chirurgical
hospital of philadelphia which have
arisen in consequence of its ac-
ceptance of several hundred i'll SOL
diers, including a number of members
of the Thirteenth, merits the liberal
attention of our people. This hospital,
in common with several others, has
undertaken to the limit of its capacity
to care for invalided victims of battle
field and camp and is now doing work
in this direction which the camp hos
pitfalls are utterly unable to do. There
has been no finer spectacle in our his
tory than is shown in the patient and
attentive devotion of the officers, phys
icians and nurses of this and other
large hospitals not connected with the
government, who, without price and
with only such means as are put at
their disposal from private sources,
have undertaken to bring back to
health the emaciated and fever-strick-
en- heroes of the war.
The public has too little comprehen-
sion of the strain of this service or of
its quiet heroism. which involves the
highest type of patriotism. Imagine if
possible what il means TO watch. day
and night. at the bedside of 800 delir-
ious patients. some of whom have dur
ing long periods to be scrutinized min
utely, with the hand of the nurse never
leaving the patients pulse. The bulk
of these patients having typhoid in
fection of a malignant type, there is
required of those in charge of them a
peculiarly exactng and difficult form
of watchfulness, which makes impera-
tive frequent replenishment of the
corps of nurses. Yet the devoted wo-
men of Philadelphia are volunteering
for this work as only women can who
are moved by the highest impulses of
womanly sympathy, and the least that
the great outside public can do is to
make sure that these self sacrificing
women are provided with an abund-
ance of funds and appliances for the
fullest possible success of their merci-
full ministrations.
1t ought to be a pleasure for every
citizen of Scranton to contribute in
proportion to his ability to the support
Of this beneficent service.

English officers wonder why Consul
General Wildman and Consul Oscar
f. Williams, who are supposed to
know something of the Philippine
question, were not sent to Paris in
stead of an army officer who has had
practically no experience in dealing
with the natives. Come to think of it,
suggestions of this character might
have been useful at an earlier stage in
the game.

The suggestion of Mr.. Kemmerer
that the election of the next mayor be
taken out of politics, whatever is to be
said on its theoretical side, involves
under existing conditions a practical
impossbility. But it is by no means
impossible for the substantial tax-pay-
ing element of the city to go to the
party primaries and insure the NOM
ination of adequate men. When this
is done reform is certain.

Mr.. Wanamaker's attempt to secure
the senatorial toga from the Demo-
cratic party rests upon two rather un-
certain contingencies. In the first place
the Democratic party in Pennsylvania
is not likely soon to have n toga to be-
stow; and in the second place, If it
should have the disposition of one there
would be candidates in It's own ranks.
About the only dividend in sight for
Brother Wanamaker in his present
eccentric political investment is the
fun he is having.

The difficulty in a city plant for as
phalt repairs is that II opens the door
TO frequent changes in equipment and
more or less jobbery. Then, too there
is no positive assurance that such a
plant will always be used to the best
effect. The advantage of letting the
whole subject of paving repairs out
to private enterprise on the plan of
competitive bids covering series Of
years is that continuous good work
can be exacted under penalty of for
feiture of bond. Repair companies who
make their work a specially ouge to
be able to give better results for small
er cost than political appointees of a
municipal department. This, at all
events, has been the lesson of exper-
ierce in many other cities.

There Is nothing in American hosiery,
or, so far as we know, in any history like
the current concerted effort to hide the
glories Of our magnificent triumph over
Spain under alleged faults and shortcom-
ings i'm its conduct. Every war has such
shortcomings. on one side or the other, or
both, and they are most glarng where
troops have to be hurrledly levied from
the civic population and rushed into the
field. Where a nation is beaten in tho
field, its cause ruined, and It's prestige
lost, finding fault with those responsible
for the disaster is naturally the leading
occupation for a time. as In Spain, for ex-
ample, today. But what is astonishing is
to find people in our country trying to
make more of alleged mistakes in the
campaign than of the overwhelming and
brilliant victory. as If the spots on the
sun were more important than the sun
itself.

Uncle Sam as The
Great Enlightener

G7 HE United States illuminates the
world more effectively and COM
pletely each year. Despite the
fear so frequently expressed OF
late that the large production CT
petroleum in Russia and Dutch East In
dies and the increased use of electricity
for lighting purposes would reduce our
valuable exports of illuminating oils, the
year just ended has shown the greatest
expectation of that article in the history
of that important branch of our foreign
commerce, and the figures for August
show the largest expectations of oil for
any single month on record. The reports
of the treasury bureau Of statistics show
that the exports of mineral oils in the
fiscal year 1898 passed the billion gallon
line, the total, including all classes, be-
ing 1854, $40 gallons, against gI3,6l4046
gallons in 1897 and S9O,i5S99i gallons in
1896.
The large production of mineral oils in
other parts of the world, while it has not
reduced our expectation, has probably
reduced the prices which our producers
and exporters have been able to realize.
The exports of oil in the year 1898 were
practically double those of 1888 and three
times those of 1873, but the money re-
ceived from them was only about % per
cent greater than that received either in
1910 or lSSS. The total receipts Tor the
!. .O3i. 676 gallons of oil exported in 1898
were $56, l26,57S, while for the SIS, ,35l 63S
gallons exported i'm 1888 the receipts were
$47 042. 400 and for the 1886 sil, ,:O3 gallons ex-
ported in 1873 the receipts We're Si6,5749I4.
The average export value of refined IL
Illuminating oil was in 1872, 34.9 cents per
gallon; in 1878, 14.4 cent per gallon; in lsSS,
7.9 cents per gallon, and in 1898, SO cents
per gallon, having thus fallen from 2i.9
cents to SO cents from 1872 to 1895
Notwithstanding this steady fall the
production and expectation continues to
ircrease, the exports having increased
over sixty million gallons in the past
over one hundred million gallons over
that of any earlier year while the pro-
duction for 1897 was 2,52s 037 ,9si gallons
against 2 033, ,33l 972 in 1894; l,i76, S61, 5i6 in
1890; 1,017, l14396 in 1885; S36, 39i l32 in 1880
and l0,S25,5SS, in 1876 Thus while the
price has been steadily and rapidly fail
ing the quantity produced and The guam
tity exported have as steadily and rap
idly increased. The production in 1897
was five times that OF 1876 and the eX-
portation of last year nearly five times
that of 1876. Great as the fall in price
has been, the exports of illuminating oil
bring over a million dollars week into
the country and have in the past twenty
years added a round billion of dollars 10
our foreign sales.

General Grosvenor rightly says that the
rapidity with which our little force of
2j,0OO> men in the United States service
was increased tenfold was marvellous.
We may add that this very rapidlty. COM
bined with promptness in field operations,
while essential to our purpose, led to
some of the results in camp sickness and
death which aie now turned to sensation-
al account. Take. for example, the cam
paign of Santiago. The nations of Europe
that had experience in tropical opera
tions warned us against attempting any
thing In Cuba until the autumn. The
German military experts especially pre-
dicted that otherwise we should suffer
terribly from sickness. and an English
well-wisher. General Wolscley, publicly
expressed the hope that we would not
hurry, because he wanted us to succeed.
At Washington similar views were stout
ly maintained, and 1t Is well known that
General Miles plans were to make
campaign in Porto Rico first and put off
all operations in Cuba until the autumn.

But the great point is that the rush
with which the war was conducted really
economical life, so far as one can judge.
Save for the Santiago campaign we might
be still fighting today. We took the grave
risk of a July campaign in Cuba. Ger
vera tried to escape and was crushed
Toral surrendered more ground and men
than we asked; Spain. disheartened sued
for peace; in fine, we not only did not
have TO undergo the heavy losses in bat
tie and disease expected of the Havana
campaign, but could muster out a great
part of our volunteer forces. In short
If we discover some evils due to haste or
want of scrutiny, let us remember the
far greater evils which the vigor and
rapidity of this brilliant war escaped
Will any one say that at the outset we
expected to achieve results so splendid
with so small an aggregate loss of life?
When this war passes into history 1t Will
be recognized as one of the greatest OF
the military successes Of our time In pro-
portion to its cost in means and men.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-09-21

1t turned out that even the Porto Rico
campaign had to be rushed forward lest
peace should come before we were ready
for 1t. although. having been more care
fully prepared, it showed fewer mistakes
by staff departments, and. as a military
operation. was beautifully developed, so
far as ii went. the sickness, also, being
remarkably little. AS to the camps at
home, they suffered no less from the very
rapidity of our preparations. Perhaps
some OF them were chosen too hastily or
with imperfect Judgment: perhaps some
were overcrowded in the sense that when
the most healthful sites were all chosen
others were occupied by the troops rushcd'
forward, Even our governments choice
of the uniformed militia under the first
call was an emergency choice, due to the
desirability of getting troops instantly
into the field. In short, If some mistakes
were made in our war with Spain, as In
all other wars. the prevalence of peace
for generations, the great need of hurry
when we had so few regulars ready, and
the turn of events at Santiago made them
not to be wondered at.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-09-21

But Cervera's arrival in Santiago har-
Dor changed all that. An opportunity
was offered to us that could not be
missed. Our fleet that penned him in
there wanted help from the army, be-
cause the narrow channel was dominated
by strong batteries. Skaters corps went
down, and we know the glorious result;
but what wonder If the sickness predict
ed and expected at once seized on the en-
tire force so tnat it had to be brought
away to Nontauk Point? Had anything
else been looked for from campaigning
i'm Cuba in July? Besides, the liability to
disease was aggravated by the hurry i'm
posed on our operations. We did not
want the Santiago garrison to be aided
from distant points like Havana, nor even
reinforced by Pando, who was near at
hand. Delay, too, was dreaded lest the
rains should make the roads impassable,
and lest yellow fever should ravagc our
lines. Risks were run, infantry did the
work of artillery, but after all we won.
If disease then began to cut down the
army it was only what all had looked for.
