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.

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.

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-

by the conflkt hiotween Spain ntl time United

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

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.

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

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.
