I Some, years ago tlio political possessions II of the Democratic party Insured to It a career against which tlio accidents of tin- - favornblo fortuno could never hopo to pre- - - vail for long periods of time. Defeat could mmm j, J F not demoralize. It or rob Its followers of BJ J ': F their confldenco In knowing that the honors BH J I recognized distinctively as Its own wero beyond an enemy's power to capture or ft I obliterate. Tho Democracy was the endur- - HH Sff I Ing genius of America because of Its Idon- - BJ V f tlflcatlon with certain principles, among B ) which these were conspicuous: H';j ) Territorial expansion; BH ' v Equal rights ; BBl ') Honesty in finance, and scrupulous re- - BHj .. ' gard for tho national credit. BBl $j Of theso veritable foundations of no BB a'i tlonal pride and political permanence, tho BBf ff Democratic party was the hereditary rcpro- - BB if, tentatlvo and defender. Yet within tho BBI J ft- , last ten years It has dlsownrd and denied them and deliberately handed them over to the Republicans. Tho Democratic platform has become a !b declaration of financial fraud, and fanntl- - cal raving against property. Tho Demo- - cratlc championship of equal rights liai I degenerated into a Socialistic craze to dls- - t rrlmlnnte In taxation between Rectlons of BBf t'.l tho country, divisions of the population, Ki and Individuals. In place of the JefTe rson- - BBtJKI Ian doctrine of territorial expansion, what BBgOr Is now known as the Democracy Is a BBfijI party of sullen opposition to that policy BHjjuf and to all the modifications of it BBlf'i Indicated by tho political evolutions of BBfl!i tho globe. FIvo years ago n President, BHjti chosen by tho Democrats, hauled down tho BBVvf American flag In Honolulu, whero its BBHf presence y may at any moment lc it BBBi'l matter of vital concern to the United BBk? .States. On Wednesday last the majority BBM f of Democrats in the House of Reprcscnta- - BBVl ttves stamped tho act as theirs. BBt Tho Hepuhl leans are not fools, nor are BBB'. , x they guided by the folly which arises from BBVf ' f a perverted senso of what constitutes pa- - BBB. - triotism. They are not only by BB' I' the abdication of the Democrats, but by their own positivo and open choice, as ( unmistakably tho cuardlans of tho three old Democratic essentials as though they hhw i had received their commission directly BBjt from Thomas Jeffkrson's own hands. BBj i Decllno of the British Mercantile BBHj ' Marine. BBB! In addition to the adverse condition of BBm ; British trade recently described In Tiif, BBBJ Bun, which is causing a good deal of BBBj ' concern In England, there 1h the visible de- - BBHK I' cliuo of the mercantile marine on which BBSS' England's maritime predominance so large- - BBBK. ly depends. This decline is evident, not BBBJP only in tho number of ships, but also In BBBE tho number of men employed. In the latter BBBM rase there Is also noticeable a steady in- - BBBJi crease of the number of foreigners serving BBB In merchant vessels under the British flag. BBBM A return of the Board of Trade giving tho BBBE statistics for the years between 181)0 and BBB 1807 sIiowb a decrease of seamen em- - BBBM" ployed of no less than 0,T70, the num- - BBBM her having been, in 1801, 41,000, and, in BBl 1800, HS.OL'O. Five-sixth- s of this do- - BBBB', crease was of seamen under thirty years BBBj of age, and nearly half of these aaln BBB! wero under twenty years. Another In- - BBhJJ dication of tho tendency shown among BBBM the British population to abandon the fva BBb 'or t'ler callings is the decrease of men BBBJ and bojs engaged In tho deep-se- a fisheries, BBBJ ! there having boon 78,077 registered in BpB 1801 and only 73,000 In 1805. Concurrent- - BBHj ly with this decrease in tho fishing crown, BV a British Foreign Ofllce report shows that J 1 those of tho German fi'liini; fleet had In- - BBV J creased between 1875 and 1805 by no less BBBj J than 1,204 percent. What this signifies BBVB In tho burning rivalry now going on be- - BBBj twecn Kngland and Germany for maritime BBVJ. j trade and the activity in augmenting tho BBBj I German Navy Is too plain tonerd comment. BBVJ r The statistics show that sailing vessel BBK ! arc gradually disappearing. In 1802 their BBBj l tonnage formed 21 per cent, of the lo- - BflB ( "-- tal construction for that year, and In BBB, f 1807 only 3 per cent, of a much illniln- - BBVJ f Ished output. In France, on the other BBJ f hand, In 1800 the tonnage of sailing ships BBBj. under construction was more than two I and a half times greater than In Kng- - BBf- - land, tho five largest vessels being over BBW 2,000 tons, while of the English there were BBV only two over 2,400 tons. In 1607 over BBV f5 00,000 tons of English sailing tonnaga BBB disappeared from the register, which wns BBB more than the net decrease of then hole BB world besides, some ships having been lost jBBJ , or broken up, and others sold. The com- - BB parlson between the past nnd present of HBh the British sailing marine Is startling. It BBV hurlng gone down from 5,820,000 tons a BBB few years ago to 4,.170,080 at the end of BBB 1807. In Germany the decrease during tho BB same period has been only D per cent.

Ai- - BBBBa h BBBHk n BflrJP BbBBBj, -- it 'afltjgsaTOff v f'-;f7,,- ; most every other European nationality was represented among the crows of British vessols. One circumstance Is of particular Interest as showing how tho Germans are quietly creeping Into tho place once occu- pied by England alone. Tho direct service between England and East Africa has been abandoned to the Germans, whose steam- ship lino on that service receives a subsidy of 9225,000 from the German Government. The extent to which Brltlsh-hull- t ships are being transferred to foreign flags Is very remarkable, showing how cconomlo causes nro operating against tho contin- ued supremacy of British commerce under present conditions. In 1807 no less than .187,704 tons ot Brit Ish-bul- shipping was sold to foreign flags, or 48,510 moro than In 1800and 28,054 more than in 1805; and these figures, It has to bo remarked, do not Includo vessels built to foreign order, but are taken from tho aggregato of British-owne- d tonnage. Writers In tho English press and speak- ers In and out of Parliament nttrlbute tho decllno of tho British mercantile marine to various causes. Some put it down to tho burdens British shipping has to bear, not borno by that of other countries; others to the absence of sufficient facilities for the training of seamen. Others, ngaln, advo-cat- o bounties and increased mail subsi- dies, and the Introduction ot urgent re- forms In tho lighthouse administration, tho Fisheries' Board, and other minor re- forms. The cause, howevor, of the decay noted In British mercantile affairs lies In other directions, one of the chief of which Is the greater economy ot management pre- vailing under foreign flags, Pettlgrew, "White & Co. Tho election of the Legislature tlmt will chooso a successor to the Hon. Stephen Malloky WnrrE, the senior Senator from California, will occur in less than flvo months. Tho olection of the Legislature that will choose a successor to Bichahd Franklin 1'ETTionr.w, senior Senator from South Dakota, will occur two years from next November. The people of California, whom Senator WltlTK misrepresents In regard to Hawaiian annexation, havo a direct and peculiar In- terest in the measure which Is now before the Senate. The most Impatient friends of Hawaiian annexation are found on the Pacific coast; and naturally so, becauso the American flag at Honolulu and beyond means sunrise for the mighty commerce of the seaports of California and Puget Sound, which will fill the twentieth century with profit nnd glory. Tho people of South Dakota have like- wise a direct and peculiar Interest In the extension to tho westward of American dominion and markets for tho products of their fertile State. PETrrottnw misrepre- sents them. He misrepresents the interests of his constituents, and the motives for his impudent course must already be known or intelligently suspected by them. Let the people of theso two States con- template the spectacle which their Sena- torial misrepiesentatives are now indus- triously preparing. PKiTionuw and WniTK are to bo the principal obstructionists. White nnd Pi.TTionnw ar tho managing partners In the business of defeating, if possible, the peoplo's will, as already manifested by tho tremendous unpartisan majority for the Newlands resolutions In the other branch of Congress. Wo speak of tho concern as Pettigrew, White and Company. It remains to be seen whether any Senator is willing to announce himself publicly as a member of this Company of lnlumous intentions. For the next few days let the people of California and of South Dakota keep their eyes upon tho doings of the Hon. Stephen Mallory WniTK and of Richard Frank- lin Pettiorew, with a special view to the elections that arc to occur in California next November, and in South Dakota in November of 1000. The Ijangnnco to Bo Tnucht. Mr. Hoke Smith of Atlanta, In Georgia, urged, at a recent meeting of tho School Board of that town, tho teaching of tho Spanish language in our American schools. The argument ho used was that as Spanish Is the tongue spoken so generally in South America, Central America, the West In- dies, nnd Mexico, countries with which more extensive commercial relations are so desirable for us, It would manifestly be profitable If their speech was cultivated here. Commenting upon Mr. Smith's prop- osition, the Norfolk Landmark calls a knowledge of that language an Important "commercial asset" for us, "setting aside every other consideration." Undoubtedly such knowledge Is desirable for tho largonumberof Americans who will follow up Immediately our conquests In tho West Indies and tho East by transferring thither their enterprising nctivlty.nnd it Is useful, of course, to all those having com- mercial relations with Spanish-speakin- g countries. Tho advisability of Introducing instruction in it Into our public schools Is, however, open to the grave, nay, the decisive, objection that already their course of study is overloaded with n multiplicity of branches, which tends to dissipate the In- tellectual energy of the pupils, nnd tho necessity Is rather for simplifying the In- struction, ns those best Informed ns to It so generally agree. Moreover, the great function, the high ad- vantage of our school system, Is In Its spreading knowledge of our own language, and thus assimilating the children of the multitudes of different races joined In our toclety. By such Instruction it assists most powerfully in building up the homo- geneous citizenship so essential to our proper national development, and substi- tutes a strong Americanism for traditions and prejudices brought to this country, moro especially by immigrants of nn alien Bpeech, Thus it happens that tho second generation of immigrants grows up thoroughly Imbued with American ideas and the Amerlcnusplrlt, fnr'nlong with the iustiuutlon In our language goes Instruc- tion in our national history and as to our political system. Instead, therefore, of discussing tho In. traduction into our public schools of tlio teaching of the Spanish language, the perti- nent and really important subjeet for con. elilcratlon now concerns plans for extend- ing our school (i)Htrm to tho Spanish-speakin- g regions which nro to come Into our possession and whose populations are to ho brought into relations with our political system. lu other words, It Is not tho teaching of Spanish here, but the teach- ing of English there, and spreading our language through those aflllluted Islands, with a view to tho necessary assimilation of their population. This process of assimilation has gone on I with the most marvellous results in the I history of the world from the very time 1 of tho establishment of our school system, t and he constituted one ot Its greatest glories. Many millions of Immigrants and children ot Immigrants from countries speaking many different languages havo thus been Americanized so completely that tho most passionate patriotism now exist- ing here may be found among thorn, They have become the ntaunchest ot Americans. The dividing race lines ot the Old World have been obliterated. They are strictly and thoroughly American. Like results havo come from the exten- sion of our school system, with Its spread of our speech, over tho Spanish and French territories acquired by us. They havo been completely transformed, no separation be- tween them and tho rest of tho Union remaining, clthor In speech or sentiment, unless In comparatively small circles. They havo been assimilated, they have become distinctly American. By the means of our school system that same process of transformation must bo extended to tho Spanish territories wo acquire as a consequence of this war; and In them It will be cffcctcaVllkewise without disturbance and with great rapidity. Drinking In tho Three Great Cities. Drunkenness and tho disorderly acts con- sequent upon It aro decreasing In the en- larged Now York. In Paris the polico fig-ure-s show that they are increasing, and In London, where systematto temperance agi- tation Is kept up, tho arrests for drunken- ness and offences caused by It keep paco with the expansion of tho population. In Now Tork there are now approxi- mately 12,000 liquor saloons, hotels, res- taurants, taverns, and roadhouses, tho present population being about 3,300,000. Three years ago the number wns groater by nearly 3,000. Tho annual consumption of Intoxicating beverages Includes 7,000,000 barrels, or about 200,000,000 gallons, of beer nnd ale, and about onc-flU- h as much whiskey and other ardent spirits, though this por- tion of New York's liquor bill can be less accurately computed. Relatively very lit- tle wine Is drunk even among the foreign-bor- n Inhabitants from wlne-drlnkln- g coun- tries, Italy and Hungary notably. About 500,000 barrels annually may bo estimated as the quantity, bringing up the city's en-tir- o consumption of beer, ale, wlno, and whiskey to 8,800,000 barrels a year. A recent official report gives tho number of drinking places In London as 14,000. The dally consumption of wino Is 5,600 gallons, besides 10,000 gallons of spirits, and the quantity of ale, beer, and porter drunk yearly may bo estimated fairly at 200,000,000 gallons, or about 550,000 gallons daily. The population of Paris returned by census of 1800 is 2,000,000. Tho con- sumption of beer is much greater than for- merly, but is yet much less than in either London or New York, amounting to no more than 10,000,000 gallons annually. Paris, however, exceeds all other cities in Its consumption of wine, taking 0 gallons yearly. Of the three cities, London consumes In a year the most beer nnd ale, and Paris the most wine. Now York Is second to London in its consumption of alo and beer, and is ahead of Paris in Its consumption of spirits. An Attempted Defence of Weyler. For some time before and for some time after the outbreak of war between Spain nnd the United States, a persistent attempt was made on the part of certain French, German and Austrian newspapers to mis- represent the situation in Cuba and to mis- construe the motives for our Interposition on behalf of the natives of that Island. The English journals, on the other hand, with scarcely an exception, kept their readers accurately informed concerning tho shocking state of things under Wev-ler'- s regime, and did ample justice to the disinterested and humane purposo which, after prolonged endeavors to relieve by diplomatic agencies tho physical suffer- ings and political disabilities of the Cu bans, led our Government to resort reluc- tantly to force. The willingness evinced in England to tell and to hear tho truth has been most gratifying to us, for it is of moment to our nation ns standing at tho bar of history that the purity of its record with regard to the causes of this war shall remain untarnished. It is, consequently, with regret that wo find admitted to the columns of the Con- temporary Review for June an nrticle en- titled "The Iluin of Spain," tho writer of which, Dr. E. J. Dillon, undertakes not only to apologize for Wkyleii, but to glor- ify him, and to justify tho treatment of the Cubans during that General's sojourn on the Island. Tlio unavowed hut obvious nim of the article is to arouse. English sym- pathy for Spain by depicting that country as the victim of unjust aggression. In order to make out a case for Weyler, tho writer In tho Contemporary considers himself obliged to defamo and belittle Martinez CAMros. That General's to forget that the Cubans wero his fellow countrymen nnd his determination to avert acts of spoliation and cruelty on the part of tho Spanish troops nro de- nounced as "maudlin weakness." On the other hand, tho insurgents nro hold up to execration ns "cutthroats, incendiaries and dynamiters." Having thus striven to place the revolutionists beyond the pale of compassion, Dr. Dillon proceeds to assert that AVkylkr's methods of putting down a rebellion compared favorably with those In vogue among contemporary Chris- tian peoples, such as the Belgians, tho French, and tho Germans. Ho docs not hesitate to say that "Weyj.L'R's system Is more strictly in accordance with the usages of civilized warfare, and far less cruel, than any of tho others." The concentration of tho pacillcos, or is pronounced entirely Justlllable, on the ground that they hud been previously massed In places with- in the rebel sphere, and wholly deotcd to the rebel cause. No reference is made to the fact that, after tho pacillcos had been driven within the Spanish lines, they were deltbeintcly starved, although overwhelm- ing proof of their sufferings has been fur- nished lu the reports of American Consuls which havo been transmitted to Congress. Explicit and emphatic testimony on tho same point has been long forthcoming from other quarters, and particularly in thu letters of tho Havana correspondent of the Loudon Times. There is no Indication that Dr. Dillon has paid the slightest at- tention to any of tills evidence ; he admits, Indeed, that he has drawn his information from "olllclal Spanish documents." Inas- much as every one of these documents which emanated from Cuba under Wi;v. leu'h rule must have had his approval, they were not likely to provide much am- munition against him. Dr. Dillon's cre- dulity goes so far that he accepts as well founded Weyler's assertion that he had practically pacified Cuba, and that, by March, 1808, the last lingering traces ot the rebellion would have disappeared. The truth Is that, at the rery time when WxtS ura'a boast was made, the rery suburbs ot Havana were subject to Incessant attack. This article, which the Contemporary Review allows Itsolf to print, Is so evi- dently a political pamphlet, written In the Interests of Weyler, and designed to Itnprovo his position In his native country, that It would be laughed at even In Madrid. By Intelligent Spaniards Wkyler's bar- barities are held chargeable with tho loss ot Cuba. It was, Indeed, as Dr. Dillon Is aware, tho damning disclosures mado by newspnpers published in the Spanish cap- ital that rendered his recall inevitable. Theso newspapers did not confine their Inquiries to tho "oftlcial Spanish docu- ments" upon which tho writer In tho Contemporary pins his faith. A proof of the dishonesty with which this article is tainted Is tho fact that those Cubans who desire Independence nro Inva- riably described as "colored." Dr. Dil- lon's readers would Infer that all tho whlto men In Cuba aro on the side of Spain. Ho sneers at Scnor Morkt's eloquent speech at Saragossa as being a plea for " homo rule for colored men," nnd, elsewhere, says that "colored Cubans, when engaged In rebellion, aro a curiously cruel and savage race." The truth, of course, Is that, according to the last official census, the white Inhabitants constituted a largo majority of tho population ot Cuba, and that tho colored natives, under normal circumstances, are of a mild, docile and placablo disposition. It is not surprising that, after being subjected for somo time to tho Infernal savagery ot the Spaniards un- der WEYl.En's regime, tho Cubans, both white nnd colored, should havo boon pro- voked to some acts of ferocious retaliation. Even tho author of this cynical apology for tho devastation of Cuba admits that not only the Antilles but also the Philip- pines aro probably lost forever to Spain. Ho admits that thecredltof that country Is destroyed, that sho Is saddled with the Cu- ban debt as well as her own, nnd no longer possesses the wherewithal to pay the Inter- est on tho coupons. He recognizes also that tho little industry and trade she hnd havo vanished; that her cotton mills and flour mills are now closed. Her money has lost somo 50 per cent, of Its purchasing power at tho very moment when her peoplo are deprived of the means of earn- ing it. Breadstuffs have become scarce, tho pinch of hunger is felt throughout tho kingdom, dissatisfaction Is being mani- fested In dangerous forms, and martial law has been invoked. It Is when the ono remedy for the dismal state of things Is suggested, that tho purpose of Dr. Dillon's article becomes unmistakable. Ills whole argument against the Cuban revolutionists nnd against our support of them Is reduced to nn absurdity, when ho says that tho actual condition of Spain calls for a mili- tary dictatorship, and that in Gen. Weyler will be found tho savior of his country. The Sulu Archipelago. One conjecture regarding Germany's pur- poses at Manila Is that she wants to acquire tho Sulu Islands. The London Mail, for example, takes this view, and points out that Germany attempted to get them in 1880. The group runs in a north- easterly direction between Borneo and Min- danao, this latter being tho large southern- most island of tho Philippines. Germany has nothing at cither end of tho line, or, indeed, nearer than New Guinea; but on general principles she may be anxious to pick up whatever Is availablo In that part of tho globe. The Sulu, or Sulek, Islands divide the Mindoro, orSulu, Seaon the north from the Celebes Sea on the south, the chain being about 200 miles long, and comprising per- haps 150 islands, most of them very small. Spain has held the group as a wholo only twenty years, although she has occupied tho chief town, Sulu, or Soung, for nearly half a century. This town, on tho island of tho same name, may have 0,000 people, and the entire group perhaps 75,000. Sulu, Tawee-Tawe- e and Haseelan are the three principal islands, the last about forty-tw- o miles long and tho two othcis thirty-fiv- e each, and they give their names to the i three principal clusters. There nro also the Tapool isles and one at the south called l'ata. Taken as a whole, they are not intrinsically very important, but their situation is rather striking, and, as has been noted, Germany considered them worth ncquiring a dozen years ago. They certainly possess valuable, timber and tropical fruits, and perhaps might have been further developed but for being for- merly Infested by pirates and then coining under the sway of Spain. Tho supposition of the London Mail that Germany still desires these small Islands would connect Itself with the present situ- ation, If Spain were willing to cede them In return for aid against us. She could well afford to glvo moro for effective help In keeping the Philippines. Sho might even yield to Germany the Carolines, their old bone of contention, for such assist- ance. But we see no ground for chang- ing our opiulon that tho Germans will not Interfere. Tho bribe of tho Sulu group especially would ho a very pitiful ono for forfeiting friendly relations with us. Even supposing Germany should form an effective European coalition for depriving us of tho Philippines, her own possession of tlio Sulus would be a perpetual reminder to us that she had forfeited our friendship. All this seems to us unlikely, and we see no ground for supposing that tho Sulu archipelago will not follow tho Philippines Into our own hands. Illinois Republicans. Keeping In lino with tho expanding national Idea, tho Illinois Republicans in their Stato platform make theso recom- mendations: "llitoUea, That the United Statu ) nuld hold all (bo It ha-- conqueteil niu! raur conquer from bpaln until tlio SpauUU GoTernmout lus agreed, to gWt tocurlty tint It will aj (be Uallt-- States ue lutlcmutty wliuterr coat tt luistit have avoldeit ha.l baln bton a liumaue Government, and alio tbat tno Ulillnl hlatm holJ ik!i joitesuloni In the conqueri'd toriltory hall buudvautageoua to Iti Internt lu tune of war mid peace.

Tho flrst resolution may be criticised on tho ground of vagueness, hut is satisfactory lu substance It not entirely In form. Probably a territorial indemnity is the only ono that ran be expected, and there is no danger that tho United States will not hold on to what Spanish possessions they may win by tholr arms and deem necessary and useful. The Illinois Republicans are in accord with national sentiment In proposing tbat the TJntted States shall "hold snoh pos- sessions In the conquered territory aa shall be advantageous to Its Interest In time ot war and peace." The Spanish Government makes a show of Indignation In denying- - that 1U soldiers in Cuba bars been aull trot atrocities on our killed, and yet it deliberately commit! the shameless net of putting- - Homon and his men at the front of war br Imcrlsonlnit tbem in Morro Castle, Santiago, and refuses to exchange them.

Detroit .Vetr. Tbls is the easy confidence of the beginner. There are cynical smokers of tobacco who hold that there Is but one cigar, many-sized- , many-name- many-price- but through all seeming gradatloim and transformations remaining the ennio, unchangeable, although it might well bo changed for tho better. Doubtless this is a partial and distorted view. Cigar smokers may be hastily divided into two classes. Tho flrst class, comprising tho majority, consists of thouo who hare a sublime confidence that the brand which they devote tho best breath of their lives to consuming is of unapproachable flavor and more fragrant than happy Arabia. Tho second clasB, a small but thoughtful minority, finds a moody pleasure in believing that it has found and uses the worst cigars nnd most malodorous in tho world. Tbeso smokers aro at least of disappointment; and, It what may bo called the s theory of cigars Is true, and the best Is like the worst, ho who exaketh himself on account of the rankness of his imperfectos has as much reason as he who believes Implicitly in the wonderful virtues of tho finest cigar rver made out of tobacco. The contented mind gives the flavor. In speaking of "tho worst cigars" we don't mean political campaign cigars. These are a class by themselves, and said to he worso thnn the worst, but they are useful as a test of the human constitution. The platform of tho Pennsylvania Demo- crats ts going to be a vision, a delight, nnd a desire. Mr. Gaiimak, Chairman of the Demo- cratic Stato Committee, says so. " From what I can gather," asserts the honey-drippin- Gar-ma- "there is a clearly defined disposition to frame and adopt a platform upon which nil good Democrats nnd all good people can stand." In short, a unanimous platform, Rgalnst which no good man will dare to vote. There Is only one such platform, ard thepreamhleaud resolutions thereof are Col. Jim Guffky of Allegheny. Everybody can BtandonGuKFEY. Which makes it all th stranger tbat some regrettable seem to want to sit on Gukkey. Since his Omaha speech 'William Jex-niso- s IlitVAN hits become a dangerous rival of Groveii Cleveland in tho affections of the Mugwumps. Gen, Tadabco, now or formerly of the Philippines, Is somewhat of a disappointment. He burned beautlfullr at first, but he doesn't last well. Of lato ho has shown in his communi- cations to Madrid an unfortunate disposition to lapse into facts. A Spanish Gorornor-Genera- l whoputs himself upon the low lovel of facts Is un- worthy of his post. Wo don't want TAnAsco to resist to tho death, as his superiors In Spain have unselfishly recommended. He is too good to lose, llut he might flame and fulminate, and light up the world once more with proclama- tions such as burst from him at tho beginning of war. I'orLap9 he Is out or coal. A noticeable feature of this year's base- ball season In the principal League is the un- usually creditable fight made by the clubs that bring up tho roar. The vory iowost of them rarely drops below. 300 In its ratio of victories, which is a record well ahead of what has been seen In former yoars. Nor is any club yet settled lu last place. The tbreo tbat would have tho best chances for a booby prize, should one he awarded, are still shifting the honor of the rear guard among them, and meanwhile the Interest of tho seuson is Increased when tho leadtrs nro continually in danger of dropping a game to St. Louis, Washington or Louisville. Only one club can win In n season, but It adds to the Interest when the Leguo championship changes hands, although in point of fact a majority of tho clubs now in the League havo never hold it at all. The temporary Chairman of the Kansas Populist State Convention told the brethren that "the People's party was responsible for the movement In behalf of tho struggling peoplo ot Cuba." It is to he inferred from this assertlou that the Hon. Jr.iutv Shimon la tho People's party, for the Populists In his Congress dis- trict say that he mado the United States go to war in suite ot all the devilling of the Money Devil, Accoiding to tbls same temporary Chairman, evidently a genius, "If UltVAK had been elected, tho war would bare been declared earlier, and terminated by tbls time, aud without Issuing bonds." Tho Populists should forgivo the bonds, and also forglvo the country for not ha!ng elected Mr. IlltVAK. If bo had been elected, that l olonel's costume would not havo been Issued to him. Doubts about a peaceful settlemont of tho West African disputes between England and France havo been set at rest by the signing of the convention between the two Governments, On the Niger, wheie lay llioke) of tho difficulty, tho French retain tho west bank down lo Ho, and under a general nrrai.gtment for reciprocal trado between tho coast colonies of the two countries between tho ruutern boundary of Liberia and the Nlgor France obtains bonding privileges ut Llsba on the Niger below IJoussa, and transit facilities for its trade, taking the route on tho navigable portion of tho river. These are important provisions tlmt, coloring astbeydoaperlod of thirty years, will have con- siderable political Influenco on the futuroof all those couutrios. The surrender of all tlalmito llornu on tho part of the French gives the British control of the western shores of Lako Tchad, whose waters, estimated to cover many thousands of square miles, will Indue tlmo be navigated by vessels under the British, German end French flags. There remains now only tho I work ot dsflnlDS the boundaries between the territories that have passed from the state of spheres of Influence Into possessions. The French owe their advantageous position in what they call the western Soudan to their cosacsslon ot a baso ot operations on tho Sene- gal nivor, up which they constructed a railway, from St. Louis on the Atlantlo coast to the watershed of tho upper Niger, to a place called DadoumtxS, from where the prolongation has beon survcyod to lvoulicoroon the Niger below Damakou. At ICoullroro tho flrst flour mill In West Africa has been erected, and last year seventy tons of flour wero turned out from wheat crown In the country, through the exer- tions of tho French Governor. Ool. do Tren-tlnla- As the cost ot flour sent from Franco to thoso regions was previously about (200 a ton, tlio ndvautagnorthellotnrnment initiative in this particular cuso U apparent. There is another point ot Intorest in the French administration of tholr Soudan territory worth noting. Tho taxes bolng paid in kind, tho authorities found themselves somewhat embarrassed by tho possession of the salt from tho Sahel mines of tho Sahara, oxen from the north of tho Nlgor, kola nuts, and other articles which It would be too costly to transport to the coast by the present routes. A system of within tho Soudan was therefore organ-Iro- d which has bcon most successful, and the French settlements which began by being a chargo on tho central Government aro already contributing materially lo their own adminis- tration, and are expected before long to bring substantial advantages to French commerce. Great attention la being given to the extension ot tobacco and cotton oultlvatloD, the latter said to be of excollent quality. The opinion in France seems to be that in the upper Niger France possesses territory which for fertility and other advantages is comparable to any- thing on the Nile Cerman-Amerlcat- oa the rklllaitlaas. To Tnn ICniTon op Tun Bon Sir: Tonr editorial of June 10, ontltled "Germany and tho United States." hit tho nail right on tho hoad. Tho writor of this and a host of others, upon whoso rcquost he pens these lines, agree with Tim Sux in that it would be simply sui- cidal policy on tho part of the German Kmperor should ho mnke an attempt to Interfere with the occupation of the Americans ia the Philippines. Such nn attempt would, as The Sum correctly statcd.be extremely distasteful to the German people, and would likewise be a source of chagrin to the millions of German-American- s who, though being trood citirens of the oountry of their choice, still harbor the kindliest feelings toward the country of their birth. These rumor? about German Interference, however, have thoir Bource and fountain head In England, which, coveting an Anglo-America- alllnnco. nttcmntsto sow the seed ot d by constantly discrediting Germany In the eyes ot the Americana. English mendacity Is likewise a n political household word, the same as tlio old sobriquet, "Das perflde Albion." Against such misrepresentations American citizens ot German oxtmctlon should enter their protest as Ulizensof the now coun- try, as well ns children ot the old, for such pre- varications aro likoly to be hurtful to both. ltepcetfully, Tn.

most every other European nationality wasrepresented among the crows of Britishvessols. One circumstance Is of particularInterest as showing how tho Germans arequietly creeping Into tho place once occu-

pied by England alone. Tho direct servicebetween England and East Africa has beenabandoned to the Germans, whose steam-ship lino on that service receives a subsidyof 9225,000 from the German Government.

The extent to which Brltlsh-hull- t shipsare being transferred to foreign flags Isvery remarkable, showing how cconomlocauses nro operating against tho contin-ued supremacy of British commerce underpresent conditions. In 1807 no less than.187,704 tons ot Brit Ish-bul- shipping wassold to foreign flags, or 48,510 moro thanIn 1800and 28,054 more than in 1805; andthese figures, It has to bo remarked, do notIncludo vessels built to foreign order, butare taken from tho aggregato of British-owne- d

tonnage.Writers In tho English press and speak-

ers In and out of Parliament nttrlbute thodecllno of tho British mercantile marine tovarious causes. Some put it down to thoburdens British shipping has to bear, notborno by that of other countries; others tothe absence of sufficient facilities for thetraining of seamen. Others, ngaln, advo-cat- o

bounties and increased mail subsi-dies, and the Introduction ot urgent re-

forms In tho lighthouse administration,tho Fisheries' Board, and other minor re-

forms. The cause, howevor, of the decaynoted In British mercantile affairs lies Inother directions, one of the chief of whichIs the greater economy ot management pre-

Pettlgrew, "White & Co.

Tho election of the Legislature tlmt willchooso a successor to the Hon. StephenMalloky WnrrE, the senior Senator fromCalifornia, will occur in less than flvomonths.

Tho olection of the Legislature that willchoose a successor to Bichahd Franklin1'ETTionr.w, senior Senator from SouthDakota, will occur two years from nextNovember.

The people of California, whom SenatorWltlTK misrepresents In regard to Hawaiianannexation, havo a direct and peculiar In-

terest in the measure which Is now beforethe Senate. The most Impatient friends ofHawaiian annexation are found on thePacific coast; and naturally so, becausothe American flag at Honolulu and beyondmeans sunrise for the mighty commerce ofthe seaports of California and Puget Sound,which will fill the twentieth century withprofit nnd glory.

Tho people of South Dakota have like-wise a direct and peculiar Interest In theextension to tho westward of Americandominion and markets for tho products oftheir fertile State. PETrrottnw misrepre-sents them. He misrepresents the interestsof his constituents, and the motives for hisimpudent course must already be known orintelligently suspected by them.

Let the people of theso two States con-

template the spectacle which their Sena-torial misrepiesentatives are now indus-triously preparing. PKiTionuw and WniTKare to bo the principal obstructionists.White nnd Pi.TTionnw ar tho managingpartners In the business of defeating,if possible, the peoplo's will, as alreadymanifested by tho tremendous unpartisanmajority for the Newlands resolutions Inthe other branch of Congress. Wo speakof tho concern as Pettigrew, White andCompany. It remains to be seen whetherany Senator is willing to announce himselfpublicly as a member of this Company oflnlumous intentions.

For the next few days let the people ofCalifornia and of South Dakota keep theireyes upon tho doings of the Hon. StephenMallory WniTK and of Richard Frank-lin Pettiorew, with a special view to theelections that arc to occur in Californianext November, and in South Dakota inNovember of 1000.

The Ijangnnco to Bo Tnucht.Mr. Hoke Smith of Atlanta, In Georgia,

urged, at a recent meeting of tho SchoolBoard of that town, tho teaching of thoSpanish language in our American schools.The argument ho used was that as SpanishIs the tongue spoken so generally in SouthAmerica, Central America, the West In-

dies, nnd Mexico, countries with whichmore extensive commercial relations are sodesirable for us, It would manifestly beprofitable If their speech was cultivatedhere. Commenting upon Mr. Smith's prop-osition, the Norfolk Landmark calls aknowledge of that language an Important"commercial asset" for us, "setting asideevery other consideration."

Undoubtedly such knowledge Is desirablefor tho largonumberof Americans who willfollow up Immediately our conquests In thoWest Indies and tho East by transferringthither their enterprising nctivlty.nnd it Isuseful, of course, to all those having com-mercial relations with Spanish-speakin- g

countries. Tho advisability of Introducinginstruction in it Into our public schools Is,however, open to the grave, nay, the decisive,objection that already their course ofstudy is overloaded with n multiplicity ofbranches, which tends to dissipate the In-

tellectual energy of the pupils, nnd thonecessity Is rather for simplifying the In-

struction, ns those best Informed ns to Itso generally agree.

Moreover, the great function, the high ad-vantage of our school system, Is In Itsspreading knowledge of our own language,and thus assimilating the children of themultitudes of different races joined In ourtoclety. By such Instruction it assistsmost powerfully in building up the homo-geneous citizenship so essential to ourproper national development, and substi-tutes a strong Americanism for traditionsand prejudices brought to this country,moro especially by immigrants of nn alienBpeech, Thus it happens that tho secondgeneration of immigrants grows upthoroughly Imbued with American ideasand the Amerlcnusplrlt, fnr'nlong with theiustiuutlon In our language goes Instruc-tion in our national history and as to ourpolitical system.

Instead, therefore, of discussing tho In.traduction into our public schools of tlioteaching of the Spanish language, the perti-nent and really important subjeet for con.elilcratlon now concerns plans for extend-ing our school (i)Htrm to tho Spanish-speakin- g

regions which nro to come Intoour possession and whose populations areto ho brought into relations with ourpolitical system. lu other words, It Is nottho teaching of Spanish here, but the teach-ing of English there, and spreading ourlanguage through those aflllluted Islands,with a view to tho necessary assimilationof their population.

This process of assimilation has gone onI with the most marvellous results in theI history of the world from the very time1 of tho establishment of our school system,

t

and he constituted one ot Its greatestglories. Many millions of Immigrants andchildren ot Immigrants from countriesspeaking many different languages havothus been Americanized so completely thattho most passionate patriotism now exist-ing here may be found among thorn, Theyhave become the ntaunchest ot Americans.The dividing race lines ot the Old Worldhave been obliterated. They are strictlyand thoroughly American.

Like results havo come from the exten-sion of our school system, with Its spreadof our speech, over tho Spanish and Frenchterritories acquired by us. They havo beencompletely transformed, no separation be-

tween them and tho rest of tho Unionremaining, clthor In speech or sentiment,unless In comparatively small circles. Theyhavo been assimilated, they have becomedistinctly American.

By the means of our school system thatsame process of transformation must boextended to tho Spanish territories woacquire as a consequence of this war; andIn them It will be cffcctcaVllkewise withoutdisturbance and with great rapidity.

Drinking In tho Three Great Cities.Drunkenness and tho disorderly acts con-

sequent upon It aro decreasing In the en-

larged Now York. In Paris the polico fig-ure-s

show that they are increasing, and InLondon, where systematto temperance agi-tation Is kept up, tho arrests for drunken-ness and offences caused by It keep pacowith the expansion of tho population.

In Now Tork there are now approxi-mately 12,000 liquor saloons, hotels, res-taurants, taverns, and roadhouses, thopresent population being about 3,300,000.Three years ago the number wns groater bynearly 3,000. Tho annual consumption ofIntoxicating beverages Includes 7,000,000barrels,or about 200,000,000 gallons, of beernnd ale, and about onc-flU- h as much whiskeyand other ardent spirits, though this por-tion of New York's liquor bill can be lessaccurately computed. Relatively very lit-tle wine Is drunk even among the foreign-bor- n

Inhabitants from wlne-drlnkln- g coun-tries, Italy and Hungary notably. About500,000 barrels annually may bo estimatedas the quantity, bringing up the city's en-tir- o

consumption of beer, ale, wlno, andwhiskey to 8,800,000 barrels a year.

A recent official report gives tho numberof drinking places In London as 14,000.The dally consumption of wino Is 5,600gallons, besides 10,000 gallons of spirits,and the quantity of ale, beer, and porterdrunk yearly may bo estimated fairly at200,000,000 gallons, or about 550,000gallons daily.

The population of Paris returned bycensus of 1800 is 2,000,000. Tho con-

sumption of beer is much greater than for-

merly, but is yet much less than in eitherLondon or New York, amounting to nomore than 10,000,000 gallons annually.Paris, however, exceeds all other cities inIts consumption of wine, taking 0

gallons yearly.Of the three cities, London consumes In a

year the most beer nnd ale, and Paris themost wine. Now York Is second to Londonin its consumption of alo and beer, and isahead of Paris in Its consumption of spirits.

An Attempted Defence of Weyler.For some time before and for some time

after the outbreak of war between Spainnnd the United States, a persistent attemptwas made on the part of certain French,German and Austrian newspapers to mis-represent the situation in Cuba and to mis-construe the motives for our Interpositionon behalf of the natives of that Island. TheEnglish journals, on the other hand,with scarcely an exception, kept theirreaders accurately informed concerningtho shocking state of things under Wev-ler'- s

regime, and did ample justice to thedisinterested and humane purposo which,after prolonged endeavors to relieve bydiplomatic agencies tho physical suffer-ings and political disabilities of the Cubans, led our Government to resort reluc-tantly to force. The willingness evincedin England to tell and to hear tho truthhas been most gratifying to us, forit is of moment to our nation nsstanding at tho bar of history that thepurity of its record with regard to thecauses of this war shall remain untarnished.It is, consequently, with regret that wofind admitted to the columns of the Con-temporary Review for June an nrticle en-titled "The Iluin of Spain," tho writer ofwhich, Dr. E. J. Dillon, undertakes notonly to apologize for Wkyleii, but to glor-ify him, and to justify tho treatment of theCubans during that General's sojourn onthe Island. Tlio unavowed hut obviousnim of the article is to arouse. English sym-pathy for Spain by depicting that countryas the victim of unjust aggression.

In order to make out a case for Weyler,tho writer In tho Contemporary considershimself obliged to defamo and belittleMartinez CAMros. That General's

to forget that the Cubans wero hisfellow countrymen nnd his determinationto avert acts of spoliation and cruelty onthe part of tho Spanish troops nro de-nounced as "maudlin weakness." On theother hand, tho insurgents nro hold up toexecration ns "cutthroats, incendiariesand dynamiters." Having thus strivento place the revolutionists beyond thepale of compassion, Dr. Dillon proceeds toassert that AVkylkr's methods of puttingdown a rebellion compared favorably withthose In vogue among contemporary Chris-tian peoples, such as the Belgians, thoFrench, and tho Germans. Ho docs nothesitate to say that "Weyj.L'R's system Ismore strictly in accordance with the usagesof civilized warfare, and far less cruel, thanany of tho others." The concentration of thopacillcos, or is pronouncedentirely Justlllable, on the ground that theyhud been previously massed In places with-in the rebel sphere, and wholly deotcd tothe rebel cause. No reference is made tothe fact that, after tho pacillcos had beendriven within the Spanish lines, they weredeltbeintcly starved, although overwhelm-ing proof of their sufferings has been fur-nished lu the reports of American Consulswhich havo been transmitted to Congress.

Explicit and emphatic testimony on thosame point has been long forthcomingfrom other quarters, and particularly inthu letters of tho Havana correspondent ofthe Loudon Times. There is no Indicationthat Dr. Dillon has paid the slightest at-tention to any of tills evidence ; he admits,Indeed, that he has drawn his informationfrom "olllclal Spanish documents." Inas-much as every one of these documentswhich emanated from Cuba under Wi;v.leu'h rule must have had his approval,they were not likely to provide much am-munition against him. Dr. Dillon's cre-dulity goes so far that he accepts as wellfounded Weyler's assertion that he hadpractically pacified Cuba, and that, byMarch, 1808, the last lingering traces otthe rebellion would have disappeared. The

truth Is that, at the rery time when WxtSura'a boast was made, the rery suburbs otHavana were subject to Incessant attack.

This article, which the ContemporaryReview allows Itsolf to print, Is so evi-

dently a political pamphlet, written In theInterests of Weyler, and designed toItnprovo his position In his native country,that It would be laughed at even In Madrid.By Intelligent Spaniards Wkyler's bar-barities are held chargeable with tho lossot Cuba. It was, Indeed, as Dr. Dillon Isaware, tho damning disclosures mado bynewspnpers published in the Spanish cap-ital that rendered his recall inevitable.Theso newspapers did not confine theirInquiries to tho "oftlcial Spanish docu-ments" upon which tho writer In thoContemporary pins his faith.

A proof of the dishonesty with whichthis article is tainted Is tho fact that thoseCubans who desire Independence nro Inva-riably described as "colored." Dr. Dil-lon's readers would Infer that all tho whltomen In Cuba aro on the side of Spain. Hosneers at Scnor Morkt's eloquent speech atSaragossa as being a plea for " homo rulefor colored men," nnd, elsewhere, saysthat "colored Cubans, when engaged Inrebellion, aro a curiously cruel andsavage race." The truth, of course, Isthat, according to the last officialcensus, the white Inhabitants constituted alargo majority of tho population ot Cuba,and that tho colored natives, under normalcircumstances, are of a mild, docile andplacablo disposition. It is not surprisingthat, after being subjected for somo time totho Infernal savagery ot the Spaniards un-

der WEYl.En's regime, tho Cubans, bothwhite nnd colored, should havo boon pro-voked to some acts of ferocious retaliation.

Even tho author of this cynical apologyfor tho devastation of Cuba admits thatnot only the Antilles but also the Philip-pines aro probably lost forever to Spain.Ho admits that thecredltof that country Isdestroyed, that sho Is saddled with the Cu-ban debt as well as her own, nnd no longerpossesses the wherewithal to pay the Inter-est on tho coupons. He recognizes also thattho little industry and trade she hnd havovanished; that her cotton mills and flourmills are now closed. Her money haslost somo 50 per cent, of Its purchasingpower at tho very moment when herpeoplo are deprived of the means of earn-ing it. Breadstuffs have become scarce, thopinch of hunger is felt throughout thokingdom, dissatisfaction Is being mani-fested In dangerous forms, and martial lawhas been invoked. It Is when the onoremedy for the dismal state of things Issuggested, that tho purpose of Dr. Dillon'sarticle becomes unmistakable. Ills wholeargument against the Cuban revolutionistsnnd against our support of them Is reducedto nn absurdity, when ho says that thoactual condition of Spain calls for a mili-tary dictatorship, and that in Gen. Weylerwill be found tho savior of his country.

The Sulu Archipelago.One conjecture regarding Germany's pur-

poses at Manila Is that she wants toacquire tho Sulu Islands. The LondonMail, for example, takes this view, andpoints out that Germany attempted to getthem in 1880. The group runs in a north-easterly direction between Borneo and Min-danao, this latter being tho large southern-most island of tho Philippines. Germanyhas nothing at cither end of tho line, or,indeed, nearer than New Guinea; but ongeneral principles she may be anxious topick up whatever Is availablo In that partof tho globe.

The Sulu, or Sulek, Islands divide theMindoro, orSulu, Seaon the north from theCelebes Sea on the south, the chain beingabout 200 miles long, and comprising per-haps 150 islands, most of them very small.Spain has held the group as a wholo onlytwenty years, although she has occupied thochief town, Sulu, or Soung, for nearly halfa century. This town, on tho island of thosame name, may have 0,000 people, andthe entire group perhaps 75,000. Sulu,Tawee-Tawe- e and Haseelan are the threeprincipal islands, the last about forty-tw- o

miles long and tho two othcis thirty-fiv- e

each, and they give their names to theithree principal clusters. There nro also

the Tapool isles and one at the south calledl'ata. Taken as a whole, they are notintrinsically very important, but theirsituation is rather striking, and, as hasbeen noted, Germany considered themworth ncquiring a dozen years ago. Theycertainly possess valuable, timber andtropical fruits, and perhaps might havebeen further developed but for being for-

merly Infested by pirates and then coiningunder the sway of Spain.

Tho supposition of the London Mail thatGermany still desires these small Islandswould connect Itself with the present situ-ation, If Spain were willing to cede themIn return for aid against us. She couldwell afford to glvo moro for effective helpIn keeping the Philippines. Sho mighteven yield to Germany the Carolines, theirold bone of contention, for such assist-ance. But we see no ground for chang-ing our opiulon that tho Germans willnot Interfere. Tho bribe of tho Sulugroup especially would ho a very pitiful onofor forfeiting friendly relations with us.Even supposing Germany should form aneffective European coalition for deprivingus of tho Philippines, her own possession oftlio Sulus would be a perpetual reminderto us that she had forfeited our friendship.All this seems to us unlikely, and we seeno ground for supposing that tho Suluarchipelago will not follow tho PhilippinesInto our own hands.

Illinois Republicans.Keeping In lino with tho expanding

national Idea, tho Illinois Republicans intheir Stato platform make theso recom-mendations:

Tho second and third resolutions arounexceptionable. Tho flrst resolution maybe criticised on tho ground of vagueness,hut is satisfactory lu substance It notentirely In form. Probably a territorialindemnity is the only ono that ran beexpected, and there is no danger that thoUnited States will not hold on to whatSpanish possessions they may win by tholrarms and deem necessary and useful.

The Illinois Republicans are in accordwith national sentiment In proposing tbat

the TJntted States shall "hold snoh pos-sessions In the conquered territory aa shallbe advantageous to Its Interest In time otwar and peace."

Tbls is the easy confidence of the beginner.There are cynical smokers of tobacco who holdthat there Is but one cigar, many-sized- , many-name-

many-price- but through all seeminggradatloim and transformations remaining theennio, unchangeable, although it might well bochanged for tho better. Doubtless this is apartial and distorted view. Cigar smokers maybe hastily divided into two classes. Tho flrstclass, comprising tho majority, consists of thouowho hare a sublime confidence that the brandwhich they devote tho best breath of their livesto consuming is of unapproachable flavor andmore fragrant than happy Arabia. Tho secondclasB, a small but thoughtful minority, finds amoody pleasure in believing that it has foundand uses the worst cigars nnd most malodorousin tho world. Tbeso smokers aro at least

A noticeable feature of this year's base-ball season In the principal League is the un-usually creditable fight made by the clubs thatbring up tho roar. The vory iowost of themrarely drops below. 300 In its ratio of victories,which is a record well ahead of what has beenseen In former yoars. Nor is any club yet settledlu last place.

editorial of June 10, ontltled "Germany andtho United States." hit tho nail right on thohoad. Tho writor of this and a host of others,upon whoso rcquost he pens these lines, agreewith Tim Sux in that it would be simply sui-cidal policy on tho part of the German Kmperorshould ho mnke an attempt to Interfere with theoccupation of the Americans ia the Philippines.

Such nn attempt would, as The Sum correctlystatcd.be extremely distasteful to the Germanpeople, and would likewise be a source of chagrinto the millions of German-American- s who,though being trood citirens of the oountry oftheir choice, still harbor the kindliest feelingstoward the country of their birth.

These rumor? about German Interference,however, have thoir Bource and fountain headIn England, which, coveting an Anglo-America-

alllnnco. nttcmntsto sow the seed ot d

by constantly discrediting Germany In theeyes ot the Americana. English mendacity Islikewise a n political household word,the same as tlio old sobriquet, "Das perfldeAlbion." Against such misrepresentationsAmerican citizens ot German oxtmctlon shouldenter their protest as Ulizensof the now coun-try, as well ns children ot the old, for such pre-varications aro likoly to be hurtful to both.ltepcetfully, Tn.
