The ailditlorial taxe. would ordinarily b cx- peeled to have an unfavorable Influence upon busine.s. but there has been no rnanlfcstation of this. It Is reasonably thought that peace will uher In an era of prosperity for the United States. It ia easy to take an exaggerated view of the pusIbhIit1e. but .soine things can be counted upon with a good decree of certainty. The pacification of Cuba will assuredly re- , tore to an the large corilinerce We formerly - merly had with that Island and uudoubt- edly greatly lucreas It. field will be opened there ( or the Investment of a Iare amount of American capItal In the development of the Island , which Is likely to go forward with great vIgor.

It Is to be CXICCtCI that American coin- merce with the far east will be largely Increased , whi'ther we hold the Philippines - pines permanently or not. The prestige which the United States has gained In that quarter of the world cannot fail u operate favorably upon American corn- merce there. Iloss- eager American capital and en- terpr1e are to seize the opportunitIes promIsed Is illustrated In the statementt that proposals for the organization of national - tional ban1s In Honolulu , Porto Itlco , Manila and even Havana have been submitted to the comptroller of the currency - rency , while merchants are ready to ship goods to Santiago as soon as the government ofllclally raises the blockade and will grant Tesrols proper clearance papers for that port. These are the indications - dications of what will take place mime- diately upon the rstoratlou of peace. American capItal and American products % il1 flow out to these new fields , greatly augmenting our corn- znr'rce. It Is In this ( lint we shall find compensation for time war. OI'E2 LP Oft .SJIUT UP.

I In this. as in many other matters , the exposition directors should take the broad gauge view. I GoiiRXl V ( ; The Instructions given General Sliat- ( or by the president In regard to .mv- ernitig the territory in Cuba occupled by the military forces of the tnitd States show what time lohlci of time government will be as to all territory taken from SIaIa. There Is to be no Ititerferoime , except as military necessity shall re- I tuire , with time laws In force before the surrender. All the mnethtis of govern- i Imlent in operation under Spanish control - trol are to be continued , . ' .o far as corn- ; patibie with the new order of lm1ng. : and the administration of tffahrs w11 i be carded on by native otticiuls , o long t : is timeS shall properly perform their dutIes. ; ThIs judicious end liberal policy , wIth the assurance given that the It'OPle t.hahl I be protected In their persons and property - erty , should exert a good influence throughout Cuba. The Siiiuiards there hai'e ' believed that when the -trnerIcalis got possessIon they i'iuld at once turn ; the island over to the Ctmban , whkhi to time Spaniards meant releutles latr- I secutlon and perhaps death. They will , now understand that tiat' rovernmneut of the UnIted States has no such purpose but that on the contrary it preposea to see that everybody in Cuba who yields to its authorIty bhall be fully protected.

The report of straIned relations between - tween time American soldiers and their Cuban allies should perhaps cause no surprise. Circu wstances have lioluted to such a condition us inevitable. Much of the conduct of the Cubans ha been disappointing. There is no disposition to deny them whatever credit they iuay deserve for such service as they have rendered , but it must be admitted that they have not shown tiicmns1ves the soldiers they were thought to be , while their conduct in other respects bus been anything but creditable. It was natti- rally expected that they would be dis- hosed to assist the . 'imericaim lores in every jxslble tray , but whmilo they ne- cpted our food they refused to do ace- essary work and have geaeraiiy manl fetetl it spirit whIch bows that 1iey hittve little sense of ( alrmiess and an inadequate - adequate appreciation of tIme saCrtIiCO time American IeOIIe ) ) are Ilmakiu4 to give them a free country. l'erhiaps iothiiiig better was to be expected at the iaik I ttiitl file of the Cuban forces , lnt It ap- 1iers ( hint the otilcers are no better than time mcii. ; General Shatter is to he commemided for Ills refusal to allow time Cubans to , cuter Santiago , for there Is no doubt1 . they would have cotumultted outrages ( ui-me.

The whole country has been graufled by the manly and chivalrous behavior o Gsa- eral Mites at. Santiago. He has acted the gentleman In all his relaflons with General Shatter , not seeking in army way to obscure him or to appropriate the smallest fraction of the honor and credit that propermy belong to him. Of course it is true that General Miles arrled upon the scene before the cap- Itulatlon of the Spanish army , but It is equally true ( hat General Shatter had done the work. directed the operations. and presided - sided over the campaign. and General MtIes has recognized these facts by keepIng in the background and leaving to General Shatter ( he center of the stage. It is a graceful act which the American people will not fail to appreciate. POLITICS IN V.tII , Why the Government is Obliged to Inne % 'ar Slowly. Boston ' 1rancrit. The adjutant general of the army , who bas a great deal to do in these days. would consider It a favor If people In different states touid not petItion him to put the volunteers renresenting them under fire. Southern states are miff3d because thur troops are not given the right of the ihie ; Illinois thinks her men are as good as anybody - body else and wants to know why tbty are not sent Into the field. That is the atil- tude Of Indiana. The adjutant general says Ithodo Island has been so insistent that she has been as a millstone round his neck. To all these Inquiries he has but one answer to make : That while all the voiunteers are patriotic. some are much better prepared for actual service than others. Front the troops nearer complete readiness for the field the volunteecs thus far sent to the front hare been selected. To rend voltmn- leers to the front if they are not ready amy gratify those who want to see them under fire. the adjutant general observes , "but tber art many other thinje to be corsid.'red besides that. " States whose state pride is offended by their regiments being itili kept In camps of instruction might have saved thieua'elves this mortification by baying them In bapu for actual work when lucy were mustered into the United States set- vice. vice.States States that thought more of getting ( belt men into camp early ( ban of getting theta into camp ready , have much to ans1n.r ( or. General Carroll of Governor Blak'a staff has been making a tour of the camps to inquire into time condition of the New York troops. A few days ago bts report of re- I cent date was published. General Carmoii reported that OLm the date. of his visit to the camps be found that the New Yor ¼ tmnd Massachusetts regiments were in a tate at etfltiency that was in marked contrast with those of all other states. They neeIed butte to bum "hardened" to be ready to go into the field. lie saw some regiments from c.ther states where not a recognizable un'orrn was to be seen. 1cm one reciment ho saw men using sticka in drill because they camno into camp without firearms. In another there were but fifteen muskets , and these were passed from sentry to sentry when guard was relieved , The goycrimmiment bias supplying arms , uniforms anl ( equmpme4its as rapidly as tjoiiLti , yet much remaIned to be done before any service could be es- peeled of some of the regiments.

P1.AC1 PhIladeipbla Record : it. is ntst for the Spanish government to uy upon what coim- ditloas the war shall end. In bag rasge international warfare the mastery of the s carries with it the power to dictate terms of peace. Springfield Republican : The sooner we now offer just terms of peace to Spaln lisa sincere effort to end this war , the better ( or the honor of the nation and the welfare of her people. We con afford to lake the Initlatire and ought to do it. New York Mali and Express : When peeee comes , it must be at the AmeHean price , and not at the Spanish. tncie Sam may be inag- nanimous as to terms , but he can't afford either to propose or accept conditions which make him out a chicken-hearted weakling. New York Sun : Spain knows what we have set out. to do. Her government has no illusions about our purposes. We bare undertaken - dertaken to act Cuba free , to take and keep Porto Rico , the Philippine islands , the La- drones and the Carolines. If the doing of these things i to 1nvoie the continuance of war it Is for Spain and not for us to de- eWe. Boston Transcript : WIth the tail of Santiago - tiago ends the first. chapter of the history 4 of the war and only obstinacy on the side of Spain can leave room for many more. If Spain will not now seek for peace itself. It is not beneath our dignity to invite it to consider whether it has not done enough to stare oft the inevitable to satisfy its quix- otle notIons of honor. Enough blood has been shed to demonstrate what the end of this war will be. why should more be spilled to prove the demonstration ? Chicago Record ; Another thing public sentiment in this country will insist upon is that no terrItory taken from Spain dur- log this i.ar in which the Inhabitants were in revolt against Spanish rule shalt be i-c- turned to that power. This wouid mean. of course. that Spain must relinquish title to the Philippines. over which the rnited States probably will exercise a protectorate until the Inhabitants of the islands shall prove themselves capable of salt-govern- macnt. The United States would want a permanent naval statIon in Asiatic seaters , which might be found in one of the islands of the Ladrone or 3iarlana group. Philadelphia Times : It is needless to discuss the terms of peace The independence - ence of Cuba was the objective point of the present war and that will surely be at- tamed , followed by a Cuban republic with an American protectorate. Porto Rico will become an American province for two reasons. First , Spain is unfitted to govern it ; and , second , it Is the only offering within the power of Spain as indemnity for the war , The Philippine , the Ladrone and the Caroline Isiands will be taken from Spain , and the final disposition of them will be made by the United States in international agreement. The one supreme fruit of the war with Spain wimi be her absolute loss of every Spanish province in the West Indies and the Pacific , as a retribution long provoked nnd conspicuously merited for the despotic barbarism exhibited by Spanish rule in her distant colonies. A P.tMOUS 'ICTORY New York World : Judging by purpose and result by dicultks overcome and dangers avoided , here is a record which spells great generalship. New York Sun : All honor and glory to the soldiers and sailors , of all ranks. to the generals and admirals , gunners and riflemen - men , and all grades intermediate , for the capture of Santiago and Cervera ! New York Tribune : Satisfaction in achieving the great object of a perplexini and perilous campaign Is greatly enhanced by admiration of the spirit which dictated the terms of surrender , and is alloyed only by a proudly mournful recollection of sul- ferings nobly borne and heroic lives cheerfully - fully laid down for the country. Detroit Free Press : It is a story glorIous I and thrilling with the Inspiring leadership and singleness of purpose of ocers and the gallant hardihood , magnificent heroism and self-reliant aggressiveness of the men , Little wonder that such fierceness and fearlessness - lessness In action , such initiative and Irresistible - resistible effort in the face of a deadly fire , should cause the mliitary expert of Europe to marvel and admire. It was the spirit of freemen responding to their nation's battle- Ct7. The courage and capacity of the American soldier should never be questioned anywhere from this on. Philadelphia Record : Santiago has been won by sheer Individual personal bravery. After long years of peace , after a vast material - terial development , after all that goes to the making of money and makes for the marring of men , American manhood remains supreme. The blue line , welded of blue and gray alike , still sweeps forward up death- dealing slopes to deeds of deathless valor. Where the flag files there courage follows. Men are still glad to die for the land that bore them , heroes all , anif a grateful country - try adds to the lengthening roll of historic heights which valor has cleated with vlc- tory and crowned with glory everiiving , San Juan and Caney Philadelphia Times : The heroism of our troops before Santiago , in which there could be no distinction between the regulars and I the volunteers just fresh from their homes. will stand out in American history as equal- log the heroism of any of our great achieve- meats of the past. The Spanish army was the least of the obstacles which confronted our brave boys at Santiago. A most Inhospitable - hospitable climate , with daily floods alter- aatIng with scorching suns , and without anything approachIng adequate commissary , quartermaster or hospital. supplies , they h have fought , sacrificed and suffered as few , troops in any sar have done. l'ERStS.tL .tJ ) O'i'lliitViSE.

Patriotism seems to be assuming a violent phase in the City of Brotherly Love. An Italian organ-grinder was assaulted there the other day by a P-year-old boy for presuming - suming to play a Spanish fandaugo.

" Admiral Dewey was always a strict disciplinarian - ciplinarian and occasionally inflicts punish- meat In curious ways. Once while in a for- cign port he suddenly ordered the heaviest tackle to be gotten out of the hold without delay. After two hours' hard work his order was carrIed out and he then directed that a large chew of tobacco which had been thrown under one of the guns be hoisted overboard. Never again on that cruise was such an unpardonable offense committed. Not even Captatn Philip could have objected - jected to some of the cheering done by the crew of the Iowa while the Vizcaya uas still burning. Captain Eulate had been brought on board wounded and a prisoner. He no- buckled his sword and tendered it to Cap- tam Evans. Then writes the sailor who narrates - rates what. followed : 'Ca'tain Evans shook his head and refused to receive It , turning the palm of his hand outward an' ] waving it back. The Spanish omeers and men looked on in dreamlike surprise. Cap- thin Eulate pressed Captain Evans' hand , and the crew gave him three cheers , for lie had fought well , and only gave up when his ship was in flames and sinking. " The death of Lieutenant J. .1. Blandin , who was on the watch aboard the Maine when the battleship was blown up in the harbor of Havana , increases to 67 the death roll of that massacre. Lieutenant Blauiin never recovered from the shock of that cx- plosion , and his health began to give way soon after be returned to Baltimore , Before - fore his experience at Havana be had been on the Trenton at the time of the Samoan disaster , and his nervous system could not stand the double strain.

Hansas City Journal : Sending a captured - tured army back to Spain Is rather a novel war measure , and one which under ordinary circumstances would no : be justified. But Spain is so nearly whipped that even it these 20,000 men are immediately placed under arms again there is no probability that they will do any moore fighting. Shipping - ping them home is merely a convenient and cheap way of being rid of them. Globe-Democrat : But the part of the terms of surrender which will create ( ho strongest impression on the iiorld Is that b which the captured army is to be trans. ported to Spain at American expense , This will hi a new spectacle In warfare , in the extent to whIch it is to be carried out , in the distance ihich is to be traversed , and in the general conditions under which IL is undertaken , it is without example to the world's history. Indianapolis Journal : Arm chair critics who think the Spanish got too easy terms at Santiago should consider that a bombard- nient and assault of the city would have causeil a considerable loss of life on both sides , anti after we had captured time city It. wpuld have been a heap of ruins amid ashes , whereas now we capture it intact anti without - out the additional loss of a single life. The sending of the Spanish prisoners home in American ships is a novel feature In uvar- fare , but it is good policy and is likely to excite the admiration of other governments , New York Tribune : Time stipulation that the Spanish troops shall be sent home , curiously divuigetl on S'ednesday In a dispatch - patch trout the front , is novel anti extraordinarily - ordinarily interesting.
