A World Power.

Admiral Dewey and some OF the officers
who fought with him at Manila seven years
ago dined together last night, and ran over
again the stirring story of that experience
Every minute at table must have been en-
ioyable IL Is a story as full of pride Tor
the whole American people as for theni-
saIves Their achievement has led to big
things in our affairs and the worlds al
fairs. and those things are growing ana
will be bigger still.
Occasionally objection is made to the
statement that we have now become
world power. Those who make 1t assert
that we have always been world power
We have from the very first, they INSIST
attracted the worlds attention and had our
say In the worlds affairs when say was
in order A hundred years ago the Worio
saw that the people who had freed tnem-
selves from foreign yoke by force Oh arms
and were the possessors of an empire must
he taken into serious account in the world
affairs.
This. at best, is but play upon the TERM
We are a world power now in new sense
In a sense that is stronger than the oiu
sense The civil war gave US a new ana ali
improved standing among the nations. IL
rave us new confidence in ourselves. The
question before tUdt SliuSSic "oo' w 80 ~'A~
Union hold together? Does it possess the
power of self-preservation? That question
the war decided with resounding affirma-
tive. The United States is nation. to be
reckoned with as such, and not as collec-
ton of small commonwealth held together
by a loose agreement among themselves.
The war with Spain-of which the battle
of Manila bay was the controlling episode
brought forth signal expression of our
power as a nation. We took over in the
course of settlement with Spain an empire
on the other side of the world, and made
ourselves responsible for It's well-beng. We
are there today, and likely to remain there
for many years to come. And so, with our
interests so far extended, We are world
power indeed, and vitality concerned now In
all world questions of development and COM
mercal growth. The war between Russia
and Japan stirs us much more than did the
war between China and Japan, which oc-
CURED only ten years ago.
Dewey and his sailors performed a serv-
Ice not only for their own country, but for
civilization, and 1t Is for their countrymen
to preserve all the fruits of it and hand
them down from generation to generation.

Unspeakable.
From the New York World.

from the New York World
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
stands before the bar Of public opinion ac-
cused Of the wickedest crime ever charged
against a corporation. 1t has tried to tam
per with the political purity of Tammany
and corrupt the Tigers unspotted virtue
AS BELTS leader of his people, Mayor Nc
Clellan is aflame with moral indignation.
1t seems that when the Tammany aldermen
scorned the tempter and refused to admit
that the Murphy terminal contract was
payment in full for all future favors. the
shameless corporation went to Albany and
had bill passed taking from the aldermen
their power to grant franchises. Then 1t
piled insult upon injury by giving the
Brooklyn contract to Pat McCarren's con-
tracing company.
To be sure, Tammany's honor is still I'M
stained The Pennsylvania Company failed
to accomplish its detestable purpose. With
all It's cunning and cupidity it was unable
to pollute the only spring of pure govern
ment that still gushes forth it's crystal wa
tiers. Tammany Is as good as honest and
virtuous as 1t was when the Pennsyl-
vania Company devised it's Machiavelan
plot, but its innocence is no longer the in
nocence of ignorance. 1t has come in con-
tact with sordid aspects of politics. 1t now
knows that corporations will try to influence
public officials, and that in extreme cases
some of them might go to the extent of Of
fering money for votes.

The Y. M. c. AS Inspiring Success

The success of the Young Mems Christian
Association In the collection of the full
amount of it's building and furnishing fund
according to schedule within the specified
time is an achievement worthy of the high
est praise, and must bring heartfelt salts
faction and qualification to every worker
in that enterprise. The task which the as
sociatfon had set for itself was heavy
one. The sum named for accumulation was
large and the business men of the capital
are being constantly besought for many
praiseworthy objects of beneficence 1t
seemed almost too much to expect that the
necessary sum would be subscribed in sea-
son to meet the conditions Of the largest
gift
But, with spirit of determination which
does infinite credit to every member of the
organization, the Y. M. c. A. attacked the
work vigorously and Systematically. The
organization of the field was excellent. A
competition between teams of collectors in
sured unflagging enterprise. The zeal and
enthusiasm of the members and their Off
GERS were communicated to the community.
Responses were early received from all sides
which showed that the public was aware
of the significance of this effort. The
women of Washington helped in many ways.
AS the canvass proceeded 1t became evil
dent to those who knew the temper of
the workers and the efficiency of the argu-
ments which they were able to adduce from
the past record Of the Y. M. c. A. as local
influence that there could be only COM
parative and slight failure to meet the re-
qurements of the case, If any.
There has been no failure, and this fact
is worth more to the Y. M. G. A. and to
Washington even than the accumulation
of the fund itself, with the results in build
ing and furnishing which will flow from it.
The organization has proved itself vital
factor in the affairs of the District. There
can be no more inspiring spectacle than
great obstacle surmounted or heavy bur-
den lifted.
With this accomplishment the Y. M. C. A
is assured of handsome and commodious
home, perfectly furnished, and what is
most important, free from debt. The CAPT
tai will have as result of this campaign
an institution of the first order of efficiency
| in the healthful. moral training and en-
| tertainment of the. younger men. The rec
ord of this achievement stands as a long
credit mark in favor of the District, for its
ability to realize urgent need and to
meet 1t promptly and completely.
