Hurry Call. for War.

Lord Salisbury. for some weeks, has been
having an experience somewhat similar to
that of President Mckinley on the eve of
the beginning of our war with Spain The
greatest Impotence was felt In this coun-
try from the day the Maine was destroyed
Everywhere the question was asked. Why
this delay? Why not strike immediate y?
Spain is fencing for advantage. She has
no idea of yielding. War is inevitable,
and the sooner begun the sooner ended
Let's have it now, and vigorously"
The President would not be hurried. but
went his own way and his own gait. He
kept his own counsels. He did not explain
matters day by day to the public, but at
last, when the blow fell. it appeared that
he had been no laggard. He had been
fencing too, and to very great ad-
vantage, for had he rushed to the conflict
at the drop of the hat he would have been
at a disadvantage When he struck he
struck effectively. and Spain was done for
in a jiffy.
The great majority in England have been
demanding action at once. Why delay?
The Beers are a sur,y and stubborn lot
led by a crafty old man, whose purposes
are plain enough. He has not from the
outset had the slightest idea of compro-
mise, but has been fencing for advantage
Strike him now and have 1t over with
Teach him a lesson which will last him
ana mis- people for all time. And so on.
Lord Salisbury has kept his peace. Prod
dirg like this has not apparently had the
slightest effect on him. Through Mr..
Chamberlain he has kept up correspond
ence with President Kruger in a vein of
parIey and peace. But at the same time
there is every reason to believe that he
has not been a 'aggard. The English don't
sleep much when matters of this kind are
afoot. They have probably been busy
as the Beers talking peace and making
ready for war if war must come Shall
they prove to be as ready as we We're in
the end? They We're far from being ready
when pressure for aggressive action was
first brought to bear on Lord Salisbury.

A good deal Of apprehension has been ex-
pressed in this country since the outset of
the Luzon campaign lest the insurgents,
being driven to cover and their general or
ganization in The field destroyed, might
take to the mountains and conduct what is
broadly described guerrilla warfare. 1t
has been asserted that this outcome would
seriously embarrass the United States in
the process of establishing a government in
the Philippines and might cause a weaken
ing of the American hold upon the islands
There is really little reason for this fear
Even should Aguinaldo surrender with his
forces, there would probably be some de-
gree of irregular fighting for many months
to come, caused by the flight into the noun

Dewey Weather.

There can be no complaint about the
weather on this occasion, Both days have
been literally perfect. The moderate tenn
perature, both in the day and at night, the
Gear skies and the bracing October air
background of the elements for the splen-
did spectacles afforded the people. Yet 1t
is to be remembered that such days as yes
terday and today are by means exceD-
tional in Washington. Rather are they
the rule, with disagreeable weather the ex-
ception. The last Inauguration was sam
pie of fine capital climate. Were it not
for the unfortunate date which has been
fixed upon for the induction of Presidents
into office it is to be believed that four
inauguration days out of five, or even nine
out of ten, would be pleasant and balmy
AS it is, of the last four only two have
been enduraDie days. October is a glorious
month in this region. The state OF the wealth
err enters largely into the success of any
out-of-door enterprise which depends for its
attractiveness upon the comfort of the
multitudes attracted by it. Those who
poured upon the streets of Washington last
night to assist in the welcome to the ad-
miral, having wrapped themselves in pro-

in times of peace are large. There are
many tribes of the hills that have not
yet felt any of the influences OF the white
mans occupancy of the islands The Span
iards tried but slightly to win them to civil
lization, regarding them as necessary evils
and maintaining frontier garrisons to pre-
vent them from stealing too much or kill
ing too often. We shall undoubtedly have
trouble of this kind, diminishing as the in
terror is opened up to cultivation and de-
valopment. 1t is to be expected that the
ameliorating influences of American gov
eminent will in time subdue these rowing
barbarians and bring them into the towns
and subject them to the restraints OF law

in progress in this country for many years.

But we are rot alone menaced by the
abarigines. White men continue to this day
to fight on the outskirts of the most settled
portions of the country. The bandits and train
robbers of the southwest are types of the

southeast is another. The Chinese SNUG

So when it comes to the problem of set
Ting the islands on a peace basis there
should be no bitter disappointment because
some hundreds of the natives flee before the
white men into the interior and rob and
perhaps kill in their outlawry. There Is
some provocation for them. They may not

in ignorance by their leaders They may
continue to judge us by the Spanish stand

Two Iron Brigades,

James J. Daw, Faribault, Mimi, writes:
"Tho disputes and discussions concerning
the Iron Brigade have arisen from ignor-
ancc of the fact that there were two bri-
gades in the Army Of the Potomac which
received that title The first to receive it
was composed of the 22d n. Y, oath n. Y,
Both n. Y, the 84th n. Y. (or 14th Brook
lyn), and the I'd U. S. S. s., and was origi-
nally Hatch's (FirsD Brigade, First Di-
vision, First Corps. Three of these regi-
mcnts were enlisted for two years only, and
were mustered out in May, 1863, so that
the brigade was broken up and the fact
that it had had this title was lost sight Of.
The second brigade to receive this name
was Gibbons, also of the First Division,
First Corps, and was originally composed
of the 2d Wis, 9Th Wis, 9TH Wis, and
18th Ind. In the Fall of 1862 the oath
Mich. was added to the brigade. AS this
brigade retained its organization intact
until near the close of the war, and in pro-
portion TO its numbers sustained the heavi-
est loss OF any brigade in the war, it is
much more widely known as the Iron Bri-
gade than is its predecessor in the title.
Tho whole matter is discussed by Col.
Fox in his 'Rcgimental Losses in the Civil
War page III. He concludes with this
statement: 1t seems strange that two
brigadcS i'll the same division should adopt
like synonyms; but in justice to Hatch g
Brigade, it should be stated that it was
the original Iron Brigade, and that Glib
bon's was not known by that title until
after Antietam, at which time it was so
designated by war correspondent, who
was apparently unaware Of his lack Of
originality.'"
