During the summer months comparative

for them to keep body and soul together
without special appeals for assistance. But

when fuel warmer garments, and better

these latitudes. revives the duty Of making
preparations for the succor OF the des l.
tute.
Some of the sectarian charities in Wash
ington, which, by the way, are sectarian
in name, but catholic in the distribution Of
relief, are already bestirring themselves
to provide the necessary funds for the ex-
ercise of that admirable virtue which be-
gins at home and extends its benefcence
into all the by-ways OF a great city.
The good people of the Capital are evil

The "Anti-Imperialist' is about to sus-

sustain longer in the absence of subscrib-
ers. The sympathetic movement of the
anti-imperialists in Luzon is also about 10
suspend. In a general way the insurrec-
ton appears to have fallen utterly in
pieces. thanks to the vigorous operations
of our field generals. The public will not
fail TO remember that Aguinaldo has never
had a chance to continue his resistance
successfully since the Administration an
nourced that the direction of field opera
tions had been taken out of Otis hands
and confided to Generals Macarthur and
I-awtCn. Once they were allowed to do
their own campaigning the mutineers were
cornered and whipped as fast as our col
umns could be moved after them. 1t is
useful to bear this in mind. because in a
very short time, We shall be confronted
with question of laurels. Otis, and his
friends for him, will claim all the credit
for suppressing the rebellion, and, as We
cannot forget Sampson and Eagan, there
may be reason to expect that the Admins
tration will be only too ready to ignore the
real victors and accord all the glory to
the man in Manila who does not know

from Bayombong away off in the mountains
of the north.
Bayombong is not as far distant now as
it was. Aguinaldo has passed it long ago in
his flight. and is now believed TO be near
Vigan on the far northwest coast of Lu-
zon, where Young is after him hot foot.
The pursuit is so close that Ihare is SERIOUS
danger of a capture, and Young is beyond
communications. and, therefore. may not
be reached in time TO let the Tagal leader
escape. We are much impressed with Ad-
miral Dewey's idea that Aguinaldo as
prisoner would be a good deal of a white
elephant on our hands. Perhaps louLg
understands this; We hope so. In that
event he and his subordinate officers ought
10 be clever enough to look the other way
when they come up with the interesting
refugee. Nevertheless, it would be the hap
py solution of troublesome problem If
some accidental stray shot should happen
TO pot the plotter. Perhaps Young and his
officers and troopers understand this, too.

The Next HnIf Century,

1t is rather interesting to speculate en-
the possibilities which the next fifty years
may contain for this country. Such spec
ulations are considerably more fascinating
than they would have been had 1t not been
for the Spanish American war. The con-
flict was a short one, but il was even more
momentous than anyone realized at the
time
1t is safe to prophesy that the next half
century will be for the most part a period
of unexampled prosperity. Any sudden in
fiux of money will, of course, lead TO more
or less gambling in values, and that wi |
cause panics now and then; but it is prob
able that the masses of the people will
have more money than they ever had be-
fore to spend on luxures. and that means
a great development in the fine arts. 1t
glorious Millions" sleep in various village
hamlets. Some people have contended
that if man has it in him to be a Mil
ton or any other kind of genius ne will BE-
one, no matter if all the adverse circum-
stances in the world are piled on top Of
of undoubted talent never get chance to
develop it because they are not physically
able to endure the hardship incident to
its development. If, for example, a young
man comes to New York with little money
but with an opera to produce, a book to
bring out, or great though partially unde-
veloped talent for painting, he will need a
fairly good constitution, in all probab lity,
to enable him to endure privation while he
waits for his chance to come In a great
many cases such young fellows have to
take preparatory course of semi-starva-
tion in addition to the mental strain of
their work: and if they are not strong
enough to endure this they die. Their
genius would have been just as great ii
they had been relieved of this strain by
getting their opportunity at once, and the
world would have been just SO much
richer. That is one of the reasons why a
golden age of prosperity is apt to come
somewhere near a golden age in art and
literature. The Elizabethan period in
England followed close on the discovery
of America and the material development
of English commerce.
Thus. IL there is plenty Of money in the
country, many publishers, editors, and the
atrical managers will be able to carry out
plans for the advancement Of art. which
require money. and thus talented artists,
actors. dramatists. authors. and musicians

1t is painfully apparent that the Long,
Sampson -Crowninshield crusaders are de-
termined to precipitate trouble for them
selves in advance of the meeting OF Con-
gress. Just why they feel this way 1t
might be premature to say. They have
their reasons, and. from their own point of
view, perhaps they are good ones. 1t is
not improbable that they think to avert
Congressional investigation OF the Sampson
pull. and other things connected with the
conspiracy against Rear Admiral Schley in
SIMPSONS interest; and, of course, they are
determined If possible to prevent an inves-
tigation of the Navigation Bureau in the
Navy Department. That. one can imagine.
will be something OF a task. Congress is
Republican, but not overwhelmingly so. and
there are certain things it will hardly vent
ure TO ignore or suppress when they are
presented early in the coming session. Even
il the prosecutors Of Rear Admiral Schley
were TO succeed in pulling him down, that
would not Of necessity afford them the
least protection from the. trouble, they have
sowr for themselves in more directions
than one.

There is as yet too much uncertainty
about Lord Methuen's position and move
ments for the intelligent discussion of his
most recently reported successes. 1t is
open TO doubt even that he has taken Hon.
ey Nest kloof as alleged, although he may
have done so. The fate of the Ninth Ian

the Beers after the affair at Gras Pan, is
also still in question, but, according to
our latest advices, there is much reason
for thinking that they were captured

from Delagoa Bay has experienced another

are quite accidental when not the result

There would be plenty to talk about If We
knew exactly what was going on between
Estcourt and Colenso. There must be ac-
tive work in progress thereabouts, and pos
sibly in a day or two there may be fresh
reason for praising the strategic and tacti-
cal ability Of Major General Hidyard who.
if nothing happens to cloud his exploit at
Willow Grange, must be said to have won
his step and a new star, in handsome style.

successful reconnaissance in question. cor

latter in the hills which the Beers were
reported as heavily entrenched with ar
tillery to prevent an advance from below.
Hildyard's attack upon the position was
so fierce and effective as to compel the
Beers to move out toward Weenens. and
that left the road clear from Helen's
bridge.
1t was hoped that flank movement on
Weenens might enable Hildyard to inter-
cept Joubert's retreating column, but
probably there was little chance for that.

reach the river before Hildyard's and Bar
toms commands united at Frere could
march out and cut them OF. The superior

LONG PRAISES THE DAHLGREN
His Answer to n Request to Change

John A. Dahlgren, OF Dahlgren Station,
Atlanta. Ga, nephew of Rear Admiral
Dahlgren, wrote to the Secretary of the
Navy under date of November "a, request
ing that the name of the torpedo boat call
ed in honor Of his uncle be taken from her
and given to a larger and more successful
vessel.
Mr.. Dahlgren based his request on news
paper statements that the Dahlgren had
failed to fulfill her contract requirements
as to speed and enclosed clippings contain
ing the statements. Secretary Long yes
terday wrote Mr.. Dahlgren as follows:
Il have to acknowledge receipt of your
letter Of the oath instant containing news
paper clippings relative to the speed trial
of the torpedo boat No. 3. the Dahlgren,
and requesting that the name Dahlgren be
taken from her and given to a larger and
more successful boat.
In reply / have to inform you that the
statements made in the clippings referred
to do not truly represent the performance
Of said vessel during her trial, as the re-
port of the board shows that she is con-
structed as required by the contract and
specifications and is in all respects a good
and satisfactory torpedo boat for the naval
service, the speed attained by her. 3O0075
knots an hour, being well within the con-
tract limit of acceptance and proving her
to be an exceedingly fast vessel
at should be borne in mind that it is
task of great expense and difficulty. and
one that requires a force of trained and
skillful men and the best conditions as to
fuel. weather and sea to obtain from the
machinery Of a torpedo boat the greatest
speed power 1t is capable of. Inasmuch as
the performance of the Dahlgren on trial
entitled her to acceptance, it was discre-
tionary with the contractors whether they
should make, another. effort to develop the
thirty and half knots stipulated for, and
they chose to submit to the deduction,
amounting to $1,000, prescribed for the
lower speed rather than incur the great ex-
Tense of making another trial.
The fact that the Dahlgren made the
speed she did, when all the conditions of
the trial were not perfect, shows that she
is a frst-elass boat in every respect. and
the department is convinced that when in
service. with her disciplined crew aboard,
she will be credit to both the navy and

mobility OF Joubert's force would count
considerably in the game.
None of the professional writers in Lon
don is disposed to minimize the serious dif-
ficulty which the British relieving column
must encounter after passing the Tugela
River. The experts believe that bloody
battle will take place in the hills at
Pieter's Station, and from that On to Lady
smith through the passes. Hildyards dis
play of good gensralship at Willow Grange
encourages the idea that he may be able &c
reduce the terrors of the advance by some
cleverly executed turning movements
which, supported by Sir George White.
might serve TO drive the Beers from
the gap between Colenso and Lady
pairing for something of the kind, unless We
are much mistaken. Hildyard has ten
thousand men with him. This should leave
another division of anywhere from seven to
ten thousand in reserve. A !lanking mcve-
ment from the Tugela River 10 Dewdrop-
not more than ten miles-would place the
force executing it in touch With White on
his south front. and if it happened simulra-
neousiy with an attack By Hildyard on the
Boer line at Pieter's, would, If successful,
place Joubert in a precarious position from
which il would seem he would lose no time
in escaping. There is an alternative possi-
bility that Clery might strike for Joubert.s
left by SWeenens, and thus threaten his line
to Laing's Mex. 1t will be conjectured.
therefore, that the time has come when
the Boer generalin chief will have to do
some of the guessing as well as planning,
and We look forward with lively interest to
contest of able military brains, as well
as Of armed men, in Northern Natal.
