The Truth About the Cuban War.

Perhaps the whole truth about the
American military operations in Cuba
fourteen years ago may eventually be

litical discussions now in progress What

II was Mr.. Dooley, that shrewd COM

A New York Humorist.

Job +. Hedges has announced for the
republican nomination for Governor of
New York. He is lawyer of ability. and
a man of captivating personal address.
His services to his party on the stump
and at the council table have been con-
spcuous. The situation is difficult. and
republicans themselves see the necessity
for putting forward their best man.
One objection is urged to Mr.. Hedges
He Is humorist His stamping tours
have been lined with laughter. For years
he has kept the New York electorate in
good spirits in election Years with quips
and stories and slapdash illustrations.
Victors have been made happier. and van
quished less miserable. by his comments
on results at the polls. Job has been a
comforter after very different order
from the men who gathered around his
namesake of Bible history.
VIII his gift and reputation prove mimi
cal to his present aspirations? Tom Cor
win believed that his humor killed him

to the preferment he desired. Proctor
Knott believed that his Duluth speech

that If five minutes more of warning had
been given of the actual presence OF ice
ahead. or possibly three minutes. the ship
could have cleared that particular berg.
As Ii was she struck only glancing blow
as she was turning. this sort of blow,
however. proving the most disastrous that
could have been inflicted. 1t must be borne
in mind in connection with Ismay's state
ment that owing to carelessness, to put
the case mildly, the men in the crow s
nest were not supplied with binoculars
and on this account were unable to give
sufficient warning of ice ahead to enable
the ship to effect clearance. For the
lack of fty-dollar pair of glasses some
seventeen hundred people were sacrificed.
The Ismay theory of lifeboat equipment
is interesting. According to it vessels
have been equipped with boats chiefly for
altruistic purposes, really a considerable
waste of money if one comes to look at
the matter from the usual point of view
of great steamship management Surely
the chances of the Titanic going ashore
and needing small boats to transfer her
company were quite as negligible as the
chances of hitting a berg when blowing
through an ice field at top speed. The
boats were carried therefore. to give sue
cor to people on other vessels in distress.
regardless Of the regulation which pro-
portioned the boats to the size and pas
senger-carrying capacity of the vessels
bearing them. Why, then, SO many. or
why so few, if they were carried to save
the lives of the passengers of other YES
sells? a smaller number would have taken
care of the company of a small ship.
large ships being as immune from disas-
ter. according to this doctrine, as the IL
tanic. but if large ships needed help more
boats would be required than the Titanic
carried OF course. the whole thing is
grotesquelv absurd Ismay was speaking
frankly along the conventional line of
confidence in a style of construction and
system OF management that have been
proved by one of the most frightful ma
rine disasters in history to have been ut
terly unreliable and dangerous. The only
question of real Importance is how best to
insure changes that will make life at sea
safer.

notifies Sunset Cox believed that his
puns and his jokes cost him the speaker
ship of the House. And Bob Ingersoll
thought that his knack for raillery cost
him quite as much as his irreverence
toward things sacred in the eyes of the
public.
The subject is old. has two sides. and
has often been discussed. Mr.. Corwin
did not realize his full ambition. nor Mr..
Knott his. nor Mr.. Cox his. But all three
were useful public servants, and if they
fell short of what they had set for them
selves yet reached places which will pre-
serve their memories for long time.
They proposed. and fortune disposed; and
fortune was probably the wiser.
Mr. Hedges in his announcement glances
at the superstition. but treats it lightly.
He does not deny his faculty. or apologize
for exercising it. He admits his jokes.
and that his name in politics is largely
associated with Jolly" Still. he thinks
himself equal to the Office of governor.
and would be glad of a chance to con-
vince the people of New York that his
confidence is justified.
He might go further and point out that
his candidacy has peculiar claim to
consideration. These are what the great
poet would call 'parlous times Both
parties, in New York and elsewhere, are
very "oneasy." In some quarters people
are whstling TO keep their courage up.
A campaign, therefore, conducted by a
man with a keen sense of humor and a
happy gift of expressing it, might pierce
the gloom and shed some radiance
around.

The Amazing Frankness of Ismay.

The testimony of j. Bruce Ismay before
the British Titanic board of inquiry is
perhaps the most remarkable that has yet
been given in all the investigation that
has been conducted into the disaster. He
said that ii was not to be expected that
capt. Smith should slow down after re-
ceiving ice warnings, and asserted that
the commander was justified in running
al fun speed through the ice fields ''if
tho lookout could see far enough ahead to
clear the ice lie also declared that he
had never considered the possibility
Of the Titanic having to use her life
boats To save the lives OF her pas
sengerS in the event of her foun-
derng. regarding the boats more as
a means OF taking people of other YES
sells in trouble or landing the company of
the Titanic in the event of her going
ashore. lie had no reply to make TO the
boats might be needed in case the ship
We're on fire.
This is frank exposition OF the atti-
tude taken until the Titanic disaster by
those responsible for the conduct of the
great ocean liners. They went upon the
theory that the ships were unsuitable
that they couIu nc hahuIeu Win precision
in all circumstances. and that they could
be raced 10 the limit of speed whatever
the conditions. The doctrine that il was
safer 10 go through the ice field at tor
pace than TO feel the way along under
half or third speed might have been de-
Tended as an academic proposition but
for the demonstrated fact of its total fu-
tiIity One of the plainest disclosures OF
the testimony in the Titanic disaster is

The PHILOSOPHER.

The bird that sits upon the fence
Is singing sweet and clear
To welcome with a joy intense
The poisoning of the year.
He builds his nest where best he may;
He fees when foes draw nigh,
And dimes where berries grow each day,
Nor thinks of How or why"
But we, of human wisdom vast
Who tame the ightning's pace
We have DO songs. Our fears o'crcast
With shadows every place.
While moods mysterious we explore
With Iongings all intense,

Let the Senate Stand Firm.

From the New York Sun.
If there is to he deadlock in Con-
gress over the Senate's restoration to the
naval appropriation bill of the provision
for two battleships the democrats of the
House will not be able to justify them
selves by the plea that they are carrying
out the instructions of their caucus and
must maintain party discipline If the
whip had not been freely piled in the
caucus the vote would have been in favor
of at least one new battleship. The
American people do not care straw
whether discipline is preserved in the
democratic party or not; they do care a
great deal about adequate increase of the
navy when every other great sea power
is adhering to uniform building pro-
gram. and the American people will deep
~ resent the Gripping of their navy by
politicians who raise the cry of economy
to keep themselves in countenance.

Can it be- that in order to make

it will be necessary to procure treach-
erous violation of Instructions to vote
