A notable exploit which ought not to be overshadowed by time glorious deeds of Dewey and Sebley was that of Commander Todd and his little war fleet oft Mmuizanilio on Monday. Three Spanish gunboats , three transports and a pontoon or store ship w 're coinpintoiy destroyed , and with time usual report , "no cusunities. " The fire from the gunboats and shore tmatterhs failed to reach Commander Todols vesuIs , and after completing the task assigned him lie steamed away and made a report which for modesty amid good taste excced that of the admiral himself. Vomar of a Kiamil. Indianapolis Journal. When the first brief dispatch came an- nuunclng tile destruction of the Spanish fleet in Manila harbor without the loss of a man on Our side , a high naval ofhlcial expressed - pressed decided disbelief of time matter state- meat. 'Dewoy may have achieved a great victory , " ho said , "but it is incredible that he could have burned or sunk the whole Spanish fleet without a single casualty. " Yet so It was , and so it has been in each of the brilliant naval victories we have gained since , except that in time destruction of Cervera's ilect , we lost. one man. Not a single casualty in the engagement at Man- zanillo , nor one at Nipe , in which , together , our ships destroyed twelve Spanish trans- ports and gunboats with a considerable loss of life to the enemy. This will make a bill- llama page In the next history of our navy. )5'ortune FavorM the Brave. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In many directions fortune Is lavishing her favors on the United States. Not oniy are we fighting successfully a war Which sviil result in a great triumph for civihiza- tion. but the crop reports are among the most favorable ever received at this time of the year. The wheat yield will be the largestmofn the country's history. That of 1892 wa 611OO0,000 bushels , which was 100,000,000 greater than the crop of any other year in this country before or since. In , 1898 the wheat yield of the United States is placed at figures ranging from 625,000,000 bushels to 660,000,000. The indications are that the corn crop will euai or exceed last year's Unexampled yield , which was 2.2S4,000,000 bushels. In only three years before 1897-In 1890 , 1802 anti 1896-did the corn crop of this country pass the 2,000,000- 000 mark. This means good times for the trmcr and usually when the farmer prospers - pers the country prospers. MOfltUnn'N Lookout for Treasure. Boston Transcript.

A MIL1Tt.N'i' NATION. 'lIme Commnti-y's Prompt Bespoilse do the Cull for Voinmiteers. Philadeiphia Ledger. The report of the assistant adjutant gee. oral shows thht 254,479 men have been ems- tereti into the federal service In time pendino war. Tim fail complement authorized Is 277,500 , of which 01,000 nr regulars and 216,100 volunteers. About 2,000 (13,08 ( regulars , 9,000 volunteers , 862 immunea and 851 engineers ) arc required to complete the authorized quota. The promptitude with wlich this large army responded to time president's calls has revealed time latent miii- taat spirit of time nation and lies dcmo. strated thAt the country , which has cultivated - vated the arts of peace for a generation , is still strong for war if necessary. Tbo period which has elapsed since time close of the clvii war Is the longest Interval of peace Wo have enjoyed aince the separation from Great Britain , but during this Interval a generation of Americans was coming upon the scene which wns to rival lii rniiitary ardor end in military prowess the genera. tions that had gone before. Wo are fond of calling ours the most peaceful of nations , and yet we have had sixteen wars In our brief national life. Nearly ae many Amen- caims iiave been enlisted In the liresent war as Were engaged on the American side In the war of the ruvoiution. The total force summoned to the field in the revolution under many eahis was 309,000 , hum two other wars the present quota of AmnenI anmm under arias was exceeded-the war o ( 1812 with Great linitain and the clvii war , The secoqd war with Great nrltain received the services of & 1G,000 men , a very serious burden for the country , which hail acmurce ! , recovered from the war of time revolution. In the war with Mexico 112,000 Amnorlcamma were exmgaged , sect thirteen years after its close the civil war broke out , in which 2,772,000 unionists and an unknown number of confederates - federates participated , The minor wars of the country were with the Indians. During the century more tbaum 100,000 Americans hare been pitted against a very much larger imumnber 01 IndIans. The Florida Indian war continued in mu desultory way as long as time revolutionary war , and more than 41,000 AmerIcans were in the field duriag the con. tvimtlon , _ _ _ _ _ . _ . _ _ , i , NIhV PATil.

Hut irncticai tatri tIsm deliberates. It Is claimed b' time former that the United States is JUSt beginning to be known iuad respecteul by tims hftttons Of the earth , and It attempts to mnahc the achievements of Washington , Franklimi , itITerson , hamilton antI Madlso , in civil life and in military prowess , microscopic - scopic nnt lmaritiy diseerimible down the avenue of a century and a quarter. The niethods , vnllcles , teachings and ailnuonitions of the fathers of tIme American repumbhic arc deCisred to have been appropriate only tor an infant government , buit entirely obsolete cmi utitadaptabie to its ostertty. 'rise sensational press nd tue inflarn- matory oratory of time united States are nov tinily eWlilaYed In belittling the past of time governnmeimt anh the country. The war of the revolution for the Independence of the colonies 1K depicted b thehi as a most insignificant nifair , wimile tIme war of 1l2 is stilt more , lmitemuseiy minimnizemi , ftUc the \var with Mextmo made utterly invisible. Tii dvii war , hOwever , which closed only lii April , 186 , is admitted to have been s mnetbiumg of an array of physical force and militant ability , though nothing comtupared to the war machinery and flghitnt equip- meet which have been recently developed by the conflkt hiotween Spain ntl time United States. The war betwCen that antiquated , dL'bhlttnted anl , deteriorated 'people. on the one hand , and the young , vigorous cud stronuou3 repuibhic of Ilmo United States , on the other , does not dc.nand the highest ability and prowess of this country. Whether this Spanish aver couht have been averted by congress , hail an eddeavor been made for peace equal to that which huts been Put forth to find pretexts for battles , is a question not now to be discussed. It is enough to recall time fact that this war sYbu ; entered into upon the ground of humanity. Time American government Interposed to prevent the starvation of nice , women and chilmluiii who wtmro in rebellion against time governnlcmit of Spain. Congress by do- iibOrate declaration Informed the world that this oputlic sought no now territory , that it desired no acquisition of domains by war or othmeiwise. The conflict , therefore , was fnstittcd solely for the purpose of acting as a Coot ! Snm5ritnn among the na- tines of the globe. Nothing but benevolence find a desire to compel liberty for the Cubans actuated time MclCinley adnilniatra- tine. tine.Amid yet there is a paroxysmal patriotism already abroad iii the land which wildly shrieks for time holding of all islandS amid ether territory over which the flag of the republic has been once floatd. These hysterical annexationista think that there are no other glories for a government than those which are to be obtained by miii- tarism. They forget that the ttnitcd States for more than a hundred years has boon respected by li the nations of the earth because of Its adherence to justice and right and because of its great intellectual and moral development. In all the great seaports and In all the great trade centers of the globe the United States has been achieving the beneficent victoniCs of civilization and commerce. In that one century it lies accomplished moro for the advancement and exaltation of the human race than any and nil other governments put together. The now paths pointed out are not afo to eater upon. But time victories of peace ftre peculiarly adapted to this form of got'- eminent. "Peace and good alit to man" is the acme , the crowning glory and consutm- mate perfection of civilimation. And while the United States , physically , with its men and material , can equal on the battletinid and on the seas any of the nations of the earth , its great strength and usefulness are in its mental and moral forces. Its agriculture - culture , its manufactturo and commerce cx- piore all the habitable globe , and the influence - fluenco ot its thought and Its religion permeates the remotest sectionp of the earth. Practical patriotism is not In favor of permanent militarism. Practical patriotism differs with emotional patriotism because the lattOr is tnspired by Impulse and the former by reason. The barbaric glory of war and the savagery of triumphs by arms are not alluring to the best minds and characters - actors of modern times. Those great international - national expositions for corpasmalting , for wounding , for mutilating , called battlefields , mire not the result of Christianity and civilization - ization , hut are the sporadic indications of the fact that. the original savage and the prehistoric barbarian are not cnttrely bred out of the modern man , It is a sad fact. that during the last half of the last decade of the nineteenth century humanity should anywhere be settling its dimcumltles by brute force. The spectacle is a satire upon the vaunted hnprovement of our race during the last eighteen hundred years. GIONIOTIAL FITZIIUGII LIOlI The hero of linrana as lie Appears at the Jacksonville Caimim , . The name of lUajor General Fitzhugh Leo does nd burden the public prints these days. Events of war follow so rapidly as to oversimmulow all else. General Leo haste to await his turn at the front with patience. The metropolis of Cuba is the goal of his ambition. Ills desire to lead American troops on Havana has been respected , cvi- dontly , by the administration. Meanwhile tie is organizing for the campaign , and if peace noes not come aucer i'onro nice LOan the cry of "On to havana , " will bring the general the wisbed.for opportunity to return - turn to his post at the bead of an army. General Leo's camp is at Jacksonville , Fla.

" IItlzlO MoNIlmY. Philadelphia Ledger : The thlspumto uO- tweon Shatter and Sampson , regarding the ships in Santiago harbor , brings into prominence - inence the immjumstico of our laws in discriminating - criminating between the army amid time navy. If these vessels wore surretidered to Shat. ( or they become at once time property of the United States , but the army receives no reward for their capture. If they are prizes in the navy they must be condemned by a court , ned a large amount of money will be paid to the officers and seamen or time blockading squadron. There is no principal of justice or equity on which this difference of treatment is based , and it should be eliminated , together with many other paints of discrimination in the laws. It should be the duty of congress , nest winter , to make a radical revision of the naval and military laws , and bring them to an agreement. Chicago Chronicle : The very comfortable sums of prize money won by Dewey , Samup- son. Sabley and the men umider their corn- manci must be viewed with more or less envy by the fellows wh do their fighting on land. Here Is Schhcy , or Sampson-or both of them together-who will get several thousand dollars for smashing Corvera's fleet , while Shafter , who captures a whole province and 25,000 soldiers to boot , gets not a cent beyond his pay , Nor can the injustice-for that is vhat it looks like- ho excused upon the plea that the sailor sustains more danger than the soldier. Time ontrary Is true-at least in the present war , In the fight with Cervera's squadron 2ehhey had but one man killed amid half a dozen wounded. In the single attack on San Juan Shafter lost 1,200 inca , killed and wounded. And yet the fleet divides over $100,000. while the army gets glory and yellow - low fever. The truth is , of course , that the prize money business Is a survival of the Old system under which both soldiers and sailors depended for their pay largely on the spoils they captured. The soldier iim no longer allowed to "loot. " but while the same Interdiction applies to the sailor he has been compensated in the guise of prize money. The soldier enjoys no such consideration and that is where ho gets tlii worst of It. PERSONAL AND OTIIEItWISE , Pennsylvania's new Forest Reservation commission , appointed yesterday , will report - port on three state forest nreserves of 40- 000 acres each at the heatiwaters of the Ohio , Susquehanna and Delaware rivers.

Charles l3rasso , now in havana , writes to Li. friend In Now York that tim "jack fun" of the Maine is now offered for sale in Havana - vana by a Spaniard , who wants $5,000 for it. The Spaniard showed Ihrasso a written offer from Spain of $1,100 for the flag , A Delaware railroad expert is now say- lag , after a close examination , that the peninsula yield of coaches this year will not exceed L0,000 baskets.
