chapters, yet events ordinarily show
 no disposition to do so. The destruc
 tioE of the Maine, however, has thi!
 decisive significance, that it cut shOr
 the doubts and hesitation in our deal
 ings with Spain regarding the outcome
 Of the Cuban issue, and made war be- tween tbe United States and Spain cer-
 tain.
 Thus February 15, 1898, is a great
 landmark in the nations history. II | brought to a continuation a century ot
 controversies between the United
 States and Spain, and rendered it i'm possible in the future for any further
 complications to arise between these 1 two count.ies in the western hemis-
 phere. The first disagreement which arose between them was abSut the nay
 igation of the Mississippi, and this | lasted, with only short intermissions, from the end of the war of independ-
 ence. in 17S3, on to the acquisition of
 Louisiana, in 1903, which did not end
 until that region was ceded tc us, in 1921. Cuba has been a cause of serious disagreement between the two coun- tries often since the century began
 particularly during the Lopez and CTittenden flioustering days, from 1S49 to 1852, in the Black Warrior cpl sode. in 1854, and at the time of the Virginius outrage, in 1873. Frcm Washington's administration onward to McKinley's the United States was often on the verge of war with Spain for that country's arrogance, blindness and Wickedness. The war which the event of February 15, 1898, pTecipitated wiped out the memory of a long list of Cutragcs on Americans by Spain, and removed all chances of future disagree ments between the United States and that country.
 In another and larger respect that date is turning point in American history. It ended the sway Of the iso- 1ationist idea, born in the days of the country's newness ard feebleness, when even the small space it occupied on the map was only sparsely peopled. It broadened the circle of the country's interests and activities, enlarged the mental horizon of its people, and gave the United States 9 higher place in the respect of the great nations of the world. There is a possibility that if the destruction Of the Maine had not | taken place the outrages in Cuba would | be still under way, or that the insur- | gents, exhausted by their long and | hopeless struggle. would have given up | the fight. It seems hardly possible. from what the country learned last | of the condition of the insur- gents, that they could have continued | the conflict twelve months longer if the United States had not intervened. The war which the events of a year ago today precipitated ended SIcain's four centuries of connection with the west arn hemisphere, and created a new and greater America, which is henceforth destined to bcld a far larger place in the life and development of the uni verse than it has hithrto filled. or than anybody year ago supposed that it would fill in the near future. Thus, February 15, 1898, becomes a great late-mark in the worlds history-St. Louis Globe-DenC Ccrat

PARTY ABOVE COUNTRY.

Senators Jones of Arkansas, Cock rell of Missouri and German of Mary land, say they will flibuster to the end rather than permit the army bill to be voted on. They don't care if an extra session of congress is forced by their action They don't care if the ex- change of peace ratifc fcations leaves the United States with an army Of less than 30,000 men, in the face Of armed foes in the Philippines and imperative duties in Cuba and Porto Rico They think there is political advantage in opposition to "big standing army and above that consideration their sense of duty does not rise.-Utica Herald

THE NEW MAINE.

The patriotic injunction, Rem ember
 the Mainei' was widely observed yes | terday in many ways. In public and
 private speech, in the display of flags t
 half-mast, and in still more formal
 ceremonies Americans showed their re-
 membrance of the hideous crime of 1 just a year bafore-a year crowded with epOch-ma: king events as few
 others of this or any age have been Within that year the flag of Spain has been finally and forever expelled from the western hemisphere. over the hole
 Of which it once arrogantly claimed to float in sovereignty, and the domains
 oi the Spanish king have been reduced
 to scarcely more than was their com
 pass before Columbus set sail to find new world for Lecn and Castile. The same year has also seen this United States developed into a workable world power, with dominions in both hemis- pheres and in three zones
 But perhaps the most significant, and certainly the most tangible and prac- tical, Of all yesterdays commemora- tions was that made in great Phila- delphia ship yard, with no formality, but with earnestness and enthusiasm IL was the laying of the keel of the new Maine, which is to replace and more, the ship that was t-eacherously destroyed in the harbor of Havana That was, we say, significant, and 'cf many important things. It told of the determination Of, this country to main- tain it's naval strength by making good every loss that strength may suffer. It indicated, too, the pIlcimptness with which the nation takes that course and the speed with which its resources en- able it to act. But most of all, per haps, it indicated the progress we are making in naval efficiency For this new Maine is to be far different ship from the old one. Instead of a sec cnd-class battleship of 6,682 tons she will be ffrst-class battleship of 12,5O0 tons. Instead of four ten-inch and six siX-inch she will carry four twelve | inch and sixteen six-inch guns h. stead of being merely one of the best | ships of secondary class she will be | one of the most powerful ships of the | most powerful class in the world
 We may we'll accept that as a na- tional omen. Stricken a foul blow, the | navy becomes stronger than before | Treacherously assailed and forced into | q war foreign to it's desires, the nation rises majesIicaliy to greater power and i wider dominion than ever before. As the new Maine will be to the cid, so is the United States of 1899 to the Unit ed States of 1898. In such advance ment of national rank and potency the remembrance of the Maine and her is well preseryed.-NeW York

AN AMERICAN CHIEF OF STAFF

The suggestion Of the war investi- gating commission that the major gen. eral commanding the army, not neces- sarily the present incumbent, but it's senior officer under whatever o~gani- Zation given it, should be virtually chief of staff to the president, is one worthy the public keeping in mind Constitutionally. the president is ccm- mander-in-chief, and he cannot dele gate his authority as such to any other person. Theoretically, generals in the field receive his confidence and support and these constitute their commission for directing operations. Moreover. this function, temporarily exercised, is distinct from commanding the army, as whole independently of the presi- dent.-Boston Transcript

4 YEAR WHICH MADE HISTORY.

4 great deal of exciting and import ant history was made in the United States in the twelve months which have just ended. The destruction of the battleship Maine, in the harbor of Havana, on February 15, 1858, was a decisive date-mark in the country's an- nals. It is usually difficult to assign the exact starting point to any epochal chain Of circumstances. Occurrences have a habit of running into each other so imperceptibly that it is commonly impossible, with any confidence, to point out the happening with which, and the time at which, they began. It would suit the worlds convenience to have events divide themselves up into

 Six distinct amendments have been suggested as an easy method of dispos- ing of the woman suffrage bill. To submit the question to a vote of wo- men; a vote of men; a vote of men and women; to establish a moral Qualifica- tion; an educational test; and to amend so as to permit wo- men to vote but not hold of fee, have each been considered as a possible contingency. It is prob able even this impressive array has not exhausted the ingenious resources of those counciImen who are enlisted i'll the ranks of the opposition. A ruse of this sort will not deceive the public in the least but VII be recognized as the ccwardly strategy of men driven to the last resort. If you must fight, men, fight in the open like braves.

A HARD WORKED REGIMENT.

There is one regiment in the army that is having all kinds cf variety, even if it isn't having the spice of life. That is the Third regular infantry. It fought at Santiago in July, recuperated at Camp Wikoff in August, quelled an Indian uprising in Minnesota in Sep tember and is now on the ocean, bound for Manila.-St Louis Republic.

"A sanctimonious member of the leg islature believes a moral qualification should be imposed upon the coming women voters of Arizona. According to the census of 1890 exactly one per cent of the crime of this territory is performed by women. Whist! a sex guilty of S9 per cent of the crime de- sires to impose q moral qualification upon a sex guilty of one per cent and this in the pretended interest of public morality! It is enough to make the gods laugh.
