dent Of the United States.
New York World, Sept. %.
From the dawn Of our history until the
battles that crushed Spain in Manila Bay
| ard at Santiago the story OF our navy Is
| an unbroken record Of heroic achieve
ment In our wonderful hundred years
! and in the seven wars we have waged
| many OF the brightest stars In the story
| are the names Of our naval heroes. Yet
no naval officer has ever been made pres
| ident.
Our popular instinct to honor hero Is
| sound; and if Everybody knows more
than anybody''-if a whole nation knows
more than two or three philosophers
| then it is difficult to impeach that popu-
! lar impulse which assumes that the man
who rises above all others in the uncon-
scious competitions Of a great war is the
nations natural leader
But this impulse has hitherto regarded
only the army. Washington, Jackson and
| Grant are the great heroes whom we have
| thus honored. In fact we have elected
! four real generals. But the glamor of
military renown has helped into this great
| Office seven others who merely had "a
military record''-including the amazing
Mckinley
Wherefore this neglect of the navy? It
| Is difficult to explain this, for the navy
and it's traditions of glory are perhaps
really nearer to the popular heart than
the army Is Our naval commanders too,
by the wider field of their exploits and
the greater discretion necessarily in
trusted to them on distant voyages, are
far better schooled in diplomacy and in
the larger questions Of craftsmanship
than our generals have usually BEEN De-
catur in Algiers, Perry in Japan and
Dewey in Manila Bay have been examples
Of naval officers who were also statesmen
and diplomats.
We are the greatest maritime people Of
the earth, and considering that the first
frigates we ever built-the Constitution,
the Constellation and the United States
were launched only one hundred years
ago, our record in that short period is
without a parallel In any history
Whatever the cause may be, it is time
to change this and to honor the navy and
exalt true patriotism by electing Admiral
| Dewey president.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4-The executive
committee Of the Civic Federation Of Chi

twenty-five to organize a national civic
federation. This committee is to be COM

The object of such an organization Is
stated to be to provide for a thorough
discussion and consideration of questions
Of national import affecting either the
foreign or domestic policy Of the United
States; to aid in the crystallization of the
enlightened public sentiment Of the coun-
try in respect thereto; and to promote
necessary legislation in accordance there

BUYING PEACE.

While the plan of subjugating our
Philippine subjects is in process of in
cubation by President Mckinley and his
advisors, it is instructive to advert TO
some of the means to this end already
resorted to In vain
Rapid-firing guns, tin-armored railroad
cars and ltght-draft war vessels have
been The chief engines thus far used.
They have not been effective. 1t is
usual, as well as sensible, in dealing with
q recalcitrant subject, to try peaceful
means first and forceful means if those
are not effective. We have reversed this
natural method with the Tagalos We
first set out to whip them into submits
sion. Failing in this, we appealed TO
them peacefully and prayerfully.
In the light of events since then it
ought not to have been surprising that
Aguinaldo and his followers refused the
overtures made TO them after they had
been driven from the suburbs of Manila
The resources which they have in the
interval developed would strengthen the
resolution of any people in their situa-
ton, even if they possessed ten times the
prudence of these Malay patriots They
have successfully set at naught the
power of one of the great nations of the
earth for six months or over quite as
effectively as they did that of Spain.
render to the cowardly proposals made
to them in the-0early summer? They
We're the evident product of the fears of
their enemies. They would never have
been offered to a people who had not
demonstrated, as the Tagalos demon
strated, their ability to defend them
selves
But how about the overtures made
since? Our diplomats at Washington
have been able to buy the inaction Of
one of the seni-savage potentates Of the
East. What more reasonable than to
believe that they could also buy the in
action of Aguinaldo, even at the expense
of treason on his part to the cause he
represents. Did he not sell himself tc
the Spanards and produce peace, nay, ex-
patriate himself, for given price? And
why not do the same in his dealings
with US? So, what more reasonable than
to suggest the purchase Of Aguinaldo az
we purchased the sultan of Sulu? Hence
the offer Of 1000 a year and the as
sured moral support of the free repub-
lie in sustaining Aguinaldo as the leader
of his tribe.
What ever may be thought of the
moral feature of this programme or of
the price thus offered in point of De-
cuniary liberality, let 1t not be forgotten
that we have the authority of the admin,
istratfon peace embassy for the state
ment that it was accompanied by assur-
ances IF complete local government; In
fact, of every political right short of
Independence. 1t was declined. WHY?
Because it fell short of independence.
Political Independence is something mat
the American people have fought for in
the past, and have encouraged more than
one oppressed nationality to fight for.
In this Gay and generation our mission
is to fight against political independence
and to meet those who demand it at
our hands with salvo Of artillery.
Great is the progress we make as free.
