Very Bart, if True
The Philadelphia Record says it is
quite probable that we would have
had nothing but smokeless powder in
the army and navy long before this,
but for the contentions between
favoted contractors and bureau of
ficials over the kind of explosive to be
adopted
If this statement is. true, it is a
serious reflection on the patriotism of
the American contractors, and a crim,
inal fault on the part of the bureau
officials who permitted such conten
tious to prevent the government from
speedily supplying the army and navy
with this most important and necessa
ry war material. Wo would prefer
to believe some reason not involving
criminality on the part ef bureau of
f.'aals or 1 - k c;f patriotism among
American contractors the true cause
of tfce lailurc to supply Shatter and
Sampson with smokeless powder. Our
contemporary may or may not be
light in its conjectures.
Most of the smoke'ess compounds
are covered by patents and^somebody
wouli reap an enormous profit, should
any particular brand be adopted by
tie government Our new cruiser,
the New Orleans, the Newark and the
Marblehead, with a number of auxil
iary cruisers, have an ample supply of
cordite, which, while not absolutely
smokeless, is saui to be one of the
best of the explosives. The Spaniards
at Santiago have had a decided ad
vantage over both our land and sea
forces because they have used smoke
less powder, while every shot fired by
our infantry or the guns from our ves
sels made a target for the enemy to
peg away at. Casualties among
American troops has been|largely due
to the fact that we did not provide
our army with the smokeless powuer.
Certainly someone seems to have
made a mistake, which has caused a
sacrifice of many American lives'
The lesson of it, however, will be in
valuable to us in the .future. —Enquir
er-Sun.

It is Mean,
The worst enemy to society and to
the country iv the man who seeks 10
excite class prejudice, to array the
poor against the rich and labor against
capital, It is impossible to make all
men equal in intelligence and means.
One class is dependent upon another.
It is so now, always has bi eu and al
ways will be while the world ttauuS.
It is wicked then to stir up strife be
tween those aecupying dift'erent posi
tions in bfe and who are in different
circumstances. What would become
of the poor in time of great disasters
by flood and by fire, and when fear
ful epidemics prevail in the land, if it
were not for m*n of means, who al*
ways come to the relief of the dis
tressed and liepless? Scornd and de -
tested be the man who encourages a
war of classes!
‘To Save the Mouarcy.”
The captain of one of Cevera's ships
decleies that the desperate sortie
which ended in the destruction of the
tie t ‘ w.is made for political purposes
—to save the monarchy.”
And for like purposes alone the
commanding officers at Santiago re
fuse to surrender even now when all
hope of successful resistance is gotie
from them.
Not to save “honor,” for that has
been abundantly conserved; not to
accomplish any military purpose, for
that is hopeless; not with any remotest
expectation of changing the result, for
there is no such expectation; not for
the sake of any principle, for there is
none involved: but solelv to “save the
monarchy”—already a half discarded
toy— thousands of men on either side
are to be butchered.
Is that weakling monarchy or any
other monarchy worth the the sacri
fice? Have Spanish statesmen utterly
lost sight of their country’s welfare,
of the sacredness of human life, of
morality itself, that they order this
human sacrifice as a myans of keeping
a little boy for King and his mothir
for Queen Regent, when the people,
disgusted, worn out and deceived,
want to set up a better government?
Is it not time for humanity of Eu
rope to put pressure upon Spain for
the making of pe ce, even if peace
shall bring with it the overthrow' of a
sham monarchy that never yet
brought aught of benefit to the Span
ish or any other people?—World.
The American Wavy.
The July number of the Engineer
ing Magazine contains an article of
more than ordinary interest from W.
L. Clowes, the famous English naval
expert. Mr Clowes has been studying
the American navy recently, to see
how England could profit nest by fol
lowing our methods in ship building,
His motive is to ascertain the features
of our ships and to point out suth
mistakes as we may have made. Here
is an excerpt from the article:
“Every American realizes, more or
less vaguely, that it is necessauy for a
country so large and so important as
the U S to possess a navy. Hut Amnri
can puplic opioion when, about twelve
years ago, it came to the conclusiou
that it must Lave a navy of modern
construction, was not sufficiently utel
ligent to put to itself certain weighty
questions. It did not a-k itself: Is
it not likely that some dome day we
shall have to meet European op
ponents? Is it not a maxim of nval,
and, indeed, of all, warfare that the
only good defense is oftense? It It not
a!s a tnaxin of naval warfare that
your enemies’ coasts are the most ef
fective fighting ground for your fleets?
Is it not a fact, seeing that America is
very far distant from any of the great
uaval countries, her warships, which
may have exceptional distances to
traverse, should ha>'e exceptional
speed and exceptional ooal capacity ?’
On the contrary, American public
opinion, not having studied the
science of the application of per power
demanded comparatively fsw fast
ships, gave to the majority even of
these no very exceptional coal endur
ance, and positively insisted that its
heaviest and most formidable iron
clads shoule be fitted rather for the
defense of the coast line of the U S
than for operations in the watars of
the far off foe.”—Athens Banner.

Wheat and Cotton.
Nearly all the early estimates of
this year’s wheat crop wero too high.
In the early part of June a urop of
700,090.000 bushels, dy far the great
est on record, was confidently pre
dicted. But the wheat crop was not
past danger ado suffernd seveiely
from rust- In spite f this, however
it will prohaU exceed any previous
production. Making all due allow
ances for damage last niontn, the
wheatro will hardly fall below 025,
000,000, bushels, which is more than
we ever produced in any previous
year. The largest crop hitherto was
that of 1891, which was officially re
ported at 611,000,000 buNtids. Last
vear the crop was 530,000,000 bushels
and of tlifs we exported 230,000,900
buthels. The wheat crop of Europe
was very shaft and all that we could
spare was in demand thereat good
prices.
VYe can send abroad nearly half of
this year’s wheat crop and stib have
an abundance for home consumton.
Last year’s cotton crop was the
largest we ever rrised. and yet on the
first of this month the world’s supply
of American cotton was 650,000 hales
less than it was July 1, 1895, the year
the previous great crop was raised.
The world’s supply is only 600,000
bales larger than it was a venrago.
Hopet of a reduced cotton acreage
this year were disappointed. In spite
of the efforts of the Cotton Growers’
Protective association the farmers
planted almost as much cotton as last
year, and we may look for another
big crop with the inevitable low price
under such conditions. Experience
is a teacher to whom the cotton plan
ter seems to turn a deaf ear,—Atlanta
Journal.
The Indemnity Claim.
Already conjectures are being made
as to the amount of the indemnity
against Spain. It is variously esti
mated to different quarters. The
general impression is that it will foot
us $500,000,000. It has been suggested
to accept the royal art gallers in
Madrid for $200,000,000 on this in
demnity debt,
The Royal Picture gallery is sit
uated on the Prado at Madrid. It
contains over 2,000 pictures. Ten of
these are by Rap heal, 46 by Murillo,
64 by Velasynez, 22 by Van Dyck, 62
by Rubens, 43 by Titian, 25 by Paul
Veronese and 10 by Claud Lorraine.
It is suggested that a gallery could
be built for it in Washington.—At
lanta Commercial.
Where Delay is Wise.
The delay in storming Santiago is
wise from every point of view. The
Spaniards cannot get away, and as
Shafter well said, the more reinforce
mints they get the more prisoners we
will take when the city finally falls-
If Shafter should attack before his
reinforcements come he will be at a
disadvantage, unless the conditions
change. If the Spaniards make a
sortie they will be at a terrible dis
advantage and will find the fate of
Cervera. Before our reinforcements
come the Spaniards may surrender on
iheir on good sense or on good advice
from a wakening Madrid. If not, then
they will be captured with less effort
and less loss of life in the assault oy
Shafter’s reinforced ami rested army.
We went to Santiago to destroy
Cervera’s squadron. Our main object
is aceomhlished, and as our naval
activity is to be kept up “incessantly
and relentlessly,” we can afford to be
patient o/er the incidental taking of
the late Cevera squudran’s late hiding
place.—World.
Tetter, 9alt-Itheum and Eczema.
