REAL HEROisM.

One of the arguments frequently
used by the advocates OF milltarism,
in favor Of their ideas, IS the state
ment that wars are necessary TO de-
velop the manly qualities, the heroism,
the spirit of self-sacriflce that, but for
wars, they argue, would remain unde-
yeloped in the nations.
How utterly groundless this view is,
may be seen from time to time, when
communities are visited by great cal
antilles, in which death gathers rich
harvests. 1t Is made evident when

Milwaukee Wisconsin.

The difference OF opinion between
Admiral Dewey and Gen. Thomas NJ
Anderson as TO the attitude Of the
Spaniards at the battle OF Manila may
result in light upon matter that has
never been made clear. Just before the
city was captured from the Spaniards
who were also beset by the insurgents,
II was stated that the defense Of the
Spaniards was to be perfunctory, mere
~ TO satisfy the honor of the Spanish
troops. But IL was noted that when
the Americans moved upon the city
there was some bitter fighting that re-
suited In many casualties on the Ameri-
cen side, Gen. Anderson states that
IN the attack and the preceding skirm-
fishes the Americans lost 122 killed and
wounded, He then pertinently asks.
IF the city was surrendered as a re-
suit OF definite understanding what
was the understanding, and how def
mite was IL? Was IL that American
soldiers were to be sacrificed for the
honor OF Spain?'

Springfield Republican.

On the other hand Gen. Anderson Of
fers nothing conclusiyely disproving
what the admiral says, II Is true that
there were losses In killed and wound
cd In the taking Of the city, and this
proves that there was no understanding
that surrender was TO be made with
out fight OF some sort, or IL there was
such an understanding. It was broken.
But there might have been an under
standing that surrender would be made
after some little fighting enough 70
save the Spanish face, and this is pro-
badly the fact OF the matter. IL so,
secrecy, OF course would be a part Of
the understanding and the fact that
Gen, Anderson and the army were not
let into It proves nothing to the con-
trGry. Evidently the Spanish intended
TO make something Of a fight but not a
last-dltch fight, and quite likely the
admiral and Gen Merritt were made
aware Of this. Very little glory any
now Is taken from the army by the
AdmlraPs testimony, II was at most a
small skirmish.

THE PARK CALAMITY.

The terrible disaster in the DAILY
West mine near Park city. IL not only
exceeded in magnitude and horror By
the ScofeIi holocaust which was the
most awful calamity in the history OF
Utah. The cause Of the explosion still
remains 90 a certain extent matter OF
opinion. The evidences however in
dictate that miner with an uncovered,
lighted candle, incautiously entered the
chamber In the mine where a large
quantity of powder was stored, and
thus lost his own life and was the
cause Of the death OF at least thirty
three victims Of his criminal careless
ness. As Il "a understood that he was
blown to atoms. positive proof Of his
act is not attalnabe.
There is much controversy over the
proprlety OF storing such large quanti-
ties OF explosive material in the heart
Of a mine. II Is not prohibited by law,
II is considered as safe underground as
on the surface, seeing that Il is In con-
slant use. and should be as near as
practicable 10 the work where It Is
needed, rather than at a distance
where II would have to be lowered
down the shaft as wanted and carried
TO the places Of use There are differ
ences Of opinion on this point, and If It
Is decided that a change should take
place, the Legislature win have to take
the matter into elaboration.
The disaster falls heavily upon the
people Of the Park. They have the
sympathy of the entire people of this
State. Such aid, pecuniary and other
wise. as is possible to be extended VIII
doubtless be forthcoming. The effects
of the horror will be felt for a long
time In that mining city The only
source OF light and comfort in this ca
lamity is the heroism displayed IN the
endeavors TO rescue the victims of the
calamity That Is worthy to be ln-
scrbed on the pages OF history and to
be held up TO the admiration Of the
world The fact that four men, one Of
them but youth still I'm his teens, lost
their lives In the bowels of the earth
