material for ships, labor and supplies,
and we assume that no reasonable man
viii question that this would be a very
material benefit to our people. In the
second place an American ocean marine,
carrying our products TO foreign mar
kets under the American flag, would
greatly aid in the extension of our COM
merce. There is abundant testimony
that our greatest handicap in trade with
South America is the fact that most of
1t is done in foreign ships under foreign
flags. 1t is inevitable that we shall
have a like experience with the Asiatic
trade. That trade undoubtedly will
grow, but its growth would be acceler-
ated If we were able to transport u
products to those markets in our w
ships and under IL own flags. In the
third place we cannot have complete
commercial independence so long as we
must rely chiefly upon foreign ships TO
conduct our trade.
Those reasons in support of a policy
for creating an ocean merchant marine
seem to us to be conclusive. They show
that all interests in this country are con-
cerned in the questionable farmer
whose products are exported equally
with the manufacturer, labor equally
with capital. In our judgment there is
no more important question, in relation
to the commercial expansion and pros
perity of the country, claiming the at
tention of the American people.

OMAHA, Sept. 29.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: I was charged Z cents for one OF your
morning papers at the Paxton hotel news
stand. I presume this is a slap at the cause
of the party Of prosperity and OF the people.
But let me say this house will learn there
are people in this country besides Bryanites,
and the register will show 1t IL this policy
is continued A REPUBLICAN.
AS The Bee has several times had oc-
casion to note in reference to the pro-
prietor of the Paxton hotel, there is
nothing so vehement as the malignancy
of mediocrity nor so intolerant as the
fanaticism of imbecility. Because this
calamity inn-keeper refuses to recognize
the advent of republican prosperity,
which he is sharing, he thinks that by
preventing his guests from reading The
Bee he can infect them with the same
strabismus with which he is afflicted.
The hotel proprietor who is afraid some
one stopping with him may read repub-
lican papers simply notifies travellers of
intelligence and observation-disclosures that
he does not want their patronage.

THROWS OFF THE BURDEN.
Spain Repudintes Responsibility for
Cuban Ponds.

III" HI
Philadelphia Ledger.
The announcement from Madrid that the
Spanish cabinet council has decided that
the interest on the Cuban bonds Should
be paid by the government of the island,
and not by Spain," seems to foreshadow q
desire to default on the interest and to re-
pudiate the debt. The Cuban bond question
was under discussion when the American
and Spanish commissioners were negotiat-
ing the peace treaty in Paris and the at
tempts of the Spanish to saddle the obliga-
lions upon Cuba, or upon the United States,
acting In behalf of the island, were met
with a peremptory refusal by us. There
Is no valid reason in law or equity why
these so-called Cuban bonds, principal or
interest, should be paid by Cuba. In fact,
they are not Cuban bonds at all. They are
like any other obligations OF the Spanish
nation and the fact that the proceeds were
used to devastate the island Of Cuba and
hold 1t in subsection by fire and sword is
not a convincing reason for the assumption
OF the debt OF the vanquished by the VIC
tors. The money for the Cuban bonds was
received by the Spanish treasury and ex-
pended for imperial purposes. The bonds
are Spanish bonds, charged up to Cuban
account by a mere arbitrary classification.
The money was not spent in improving Tle
internal condition OF Cuba and, as the
island has reaped no benefit, but only dis
aster, from the money, the government of
Cuba is under no obligation in law or morals
to concern itself with the matter.
Thu sympathy which Franc exhibited for
Spain at the outbreak of the war and dur
ing the conflict was not wholly sentimental.
The French are heavy holders of the Span
ish bonds, including the so-called Cuban
bonds, and any action leading to repudia-
ton will likely elicit Che strongest pro-
tests from the French government, which
can hardly view with Indifference measures
entailing the greatest hardship upon the
thrifty French investors.

One of Admiral Dewey's most graceful acts
and he has many to his CREDITS the visit
he paid at Gibraltar to the poor British ar
tilleryman who was badly injured while fir
ing to celebrate the admiral's arrival. 1t is
this personal interest in men as men, and
not as mere machines, which has helped to
develop so fine a standard of manliness in
our navy as was displayed at Manila.

ECHOES or THE WAR.

1t was not difficult TO detect lines of sor-
row beneath the cheers and shouts and warm
handclasps that welcomed the returning sol
diens from Manila. The joy Of fathers and
mothers. brothers and sisters over the home
coming Of soldier son or brother was nat
urally exhuberant. Eyes and voice and
hands manifested cutwardly the pleasure in
wardly felt. Public demonstration could not
overwhelm individual enthusiasm awakened
by restored family ties. But here and there
in the welcoming throngs were eyes that
sought in vain a familiar face and form.
Longing hearts were mirrored in the looks
that searched the broken line OF war-worn
heroes slowly winding through the cheer
Ing multitude. For many there was no
responsive glance of recognition. The one
anxiously sought for was not there. He
had made the greatest sacrifice a man could
make for his Countrywide itself. What
wonder that some hearts we're rent asunder
when the full realization OF the tragedy was
brought TO those near and dear. Heart
sore and fearful they turned away from the
tumult and sought the seclusion OF home to
give rein to their grief.
Let us turn to another scene, a Joyous
one-the welcoming cheers and greetings Of
kindred and friends OF a soldier who had
passed unscathed through the hail Of lead
and walls OF flame in and about Manila. In
a few days the cheers and shouts die out.
Public enthusiasm is short-lived. 1t makes
no provision for three meals a day and a
bunk by night. The hero of yesterday is
engulfed today in the multitude hustling for
a living. Discharged honorably from his
country's army, he is Obliged to join the
grand army of bread winners. Work is
sought and secured. Within four hours after
taking up the implements of peaceful in
dustry he is mortally injured and dies in a
few hours unknown to friends and associates.
What the bullets of the hostile natives OF
Luzon could not do, though tempted in half
a score of battleields, was accomplished in
a few hours within the peaceful walls OF a
workshop in Denver.
Such was the cruel fate OF James Connolly,
an Omaha young man who served in the
ranks of the Colorado volunteers through
out the Luzon campaign. Mr.. Connolly
was employed in the UniXl Pacific shops in
this city for many years and was a faithful
and energetic workman. In April, 1898, he
was transferred to Denver and in the fol-
lowing month enlisted in the Colorado regi-
ment for service in the Philippines. Pos
sessing a sound constitution, being temper
ate and Of good habits he escaped tropical
and served wherever duty called |
with the courage " a born soldier. Six of |
his associates fell about him on the firing |
line at different times, but he did not re-
ceive a scratch. Fate reserved for him a
glorious death. Omaha friends expected
his return to his home city soon. Provi-
dence willed otherwise. An accident befell |
him in a Denver foundry last Monday. The |
day following he died, unknown to kindred
and friends. On Thursday he was buried
with honors %betitting a soldier. Verify,
from gay to grave is but a step.
