Consequences of the War.

From the ST. Paul Dispatch.
What Is to follow will be determined
largely by circumstances. cable to Ha-
wall, canal across the isthmus, a greater
navy and a stronger standing army are
an eng the things to come. Whatever dis
position may he made Of Cuba and the
Philippines, the conditions in those islands
must be improved. That Spain is to per-
Tanently withdraw her naval and military
forces from the western hemisphere is one
of the foregone conclusions, and it is, of
itself, guarantee that western ciViiZa-
ton shall advance No longer oppressed
and weighed down by the medieval laws
and customs of Spain, and given their lib
critics under a free measure of protection
beneath the American flag, the Cuban peo-
pie should, within the coming decade, es-
tahlish a stable and successful government,
and enter upon an era of prosperity I'M
known heretofore to the inhabitants of that
island.
And as for Spain she is simply reap
ing the whirlwind from the wind she has
been sowing for all these centuries, and
reaching her manifest destiny, assisted by
the willing hands of American soldiers and
sailors.

Doubling Our Naval Efficiency.

From the Springfield Union
With the NicaIaguan canal built the navy
would be almost twice as useful. 1t would
not have 20 be as large as otherwise to pro-
tect our interests. The canal would also be
of immense benefit to our commerce. 1t
would have been constructed some years
ago had il not been for the opposition of
railroad interests that feared the competi-
ton in freight rates. There is no valid OBJ
lection, either, to government ownership of
such a waterway. 1t will not be difficult
when the next Congress convenes to secure
an appropriation for constructing this ca
nal.

The revocation of the license 10
preach of Rev. Macintosh, the rector
OF the Second Congregation of the Ha-
waiian Episcopate, is a curious phase
of a long-standing quarrel. The Angli-
can Bishop of Honolulu, churchman
of many prejudices, fell out with the
rector years ago, but the members OF
the parish refused to side with him.
and went in a body to services con-
Quoted by the rector in the cathedral
at an hour subsequent to the bishops
own services. Even official England,
in the persons of the British minister
resident and naval officers, stood up
for the rector, with the result that the
bishop preached to audiences of five
or six people, exclusive of the choir
and his mission school, while his sub
ordinate crowded the house. Finally
the bishop tired of the unequal strug-
gle and has officially ousted the popu-
lar clergyman. The friends OF the lat
ter, however, own the cathedral, and
the next thing the bishop knows he
may have no place in which to cele-
brate his temporary victory.
