While the Maine was not mentioned in the treuty between this country and Spain, It was expressly provided that 'the United States und Spain mutually relinquish all claims for Indemnity, national and individual, of tvery kind, or of its citizens or subjects, ugalnst the other government that may have arisen since the beginning of the lato insurrection In Cuba.

Exactly ten years ago President Benjamin Harrison toured a portion of the United States over almost the same route taken by President McKinley. Much has been said of the felicitous speeches made by President Harrison, and comparisons are made with the utterances of Presidont McKinley. Harrison was simply unequaled in tho art of Impromptu speaking, but neverthelers McKinley Is not made to suffer by thete comparisons, for his addresses are filled with happy thought and delivered with impressive dignity. But what many of the writers have failed to see is the Import and significance of these two journej-s and the serious thought underlying the speeches of the two Presidents. What Harrison said lost much of Its effectiveness for the reason that his journey was looked upon In many quarters as a political junket intended to advance his own interests In the pending presidential election, whereas McKinley will presumably never again be a candidate asking the suffrage of the people. But now we are enabled to see and appreciate the profound and prophetic statesmanship which inspired the speeches of Harrison where once we saw and felt only the arts of the practiced orator. Running through the speeches of Harrison from beginning to end we find two thoughts kept prominent all the time. One was a protest against the rise of that class feeling which gave birth and strength to the Populist party and which later attached Bryanism to the Democratic party. He deplored the pessimism that seemed to have attacked a large fraction of the American people, even though our country was then in the midst of unparalleled prosperity. "Turn your faces to the Imming," he said to the people of Jonesboro. Tenn. "The sun Is lighting the hilltops; there iä coming to our country a great growth, an extraordinary development, and all the people are to be full participants In It. We have here prodigious resources that are yet to be touched by the ringer of development, and we have the power, if we will, to put our flag upon the sea and to share in the world's commerce. Do not, my friends, permit yourselves to believe that the good or any class can be permanently and largely attained except upon lines which promote the prood of all the people." The second thought, insisted upon even in the interior towns where the people were presumed to have little interest in seafaring matters, was that the United States should proceed, a 'most without counting the co?t, to build up both a fighting navy and a merchant marine. "I so much want." said President Harrison, at Galveston, "that the time shall come when our citizens, living in temporary exile in foreign ports, shall r-w and then see steaming into these distant ports a fine modern man-of-war, flying the United States flag, with the best modern guns on her deck and a brave American crew in her forecastle. I want, also, that in these ports, so long unfamiliar with the American flag, thero shall be found again our steamships and our sailing vessels flying the flag that we love, and carrying from our shores the products that thee men of toil have brought to them, to exchange for the products of other -climes. " Again, at Seattle, he said: "I believe it is the duty of the national government to I " lie such steps as will restore the American merchant marine. The Nicaragua canal should be completed. Our harbors should have adequate defenses. We should have upon the sea a navy of first-clas ships. Why should we not have our share in the great commerce of the world? I cannot but believe that we are tome to a time when this great Nation should look to the future and step forward bravely and courageously In the line of new enterprise." Carried through the speeches of President McKinley is also a sober and solemn protest, as well as an Inspiring prophecy of the future of the American Republic. It is a protest against the spirit of doubtful patriotism that would weaken the ralth of the American people in the Justice and probity of their government. Except jocularly, the President has not alluded to the almost infamous campaign of last fall, in which it was charged that a conspiracy had been formed to destroy the govern-' ment of our fathers and to replace it with a monarchy. But with ringing words of patriotism he has heaped confusion upon the enemies who thought to pervert the public mind against his administration. The trend of his addresses has been to instill a love of the Union, of the flap, of our democratic institutions. He preaches hope, faith, courage and confidence. He stigmatizes distrust, gloom and eowardice. lie asks the people to believe that forever and ever the grandeur and glory of the republic shall increase with no weakening cf the spirit of liberty and Justice. And the absolute sincerity with which these utterances are made is said to be profoundly impressive upon the audiences who hear them. We have lately been reading the speeches made by -resident Harrison, and we have searched carefully for a prophecy that did not come true, or which is .not on the high road to consummation. In a speech at Birmingham, Ala., he warned the people of the depression they might expect to feel if they permitted a revolution in the tariff system which had served our country so admirably since the days of Jefferson. And. in almost the same breath he prodieted the coming of Industrial activities such as would give the United States the trade and financial supremacy of the world thus foretelling alike the prostration of Cleveland's days and the magnificent revival under McKinley. And now let us hope that the 'optimistic prophecies made by President McKinley on the same ground under almost the same circumstance shall have a like fruition. HAS IIEEY I'LlRTI.YG.

Vanderbilt connection set In to acquire absolute majority ownership of Union Paeifla independent of alliances with other interests, no matter how friendly. The Western situation has taken such form that dictation instead of consultation had to be tho policy domination instead of dalliance mastery, in brief. The Vanderbilts had and have no objections to Harriman in their family council, but thev exercised the privilege of blackballing J. J. Hill and Georgre J. Gould, the first demanding admission from the North and the latter from the South. In their proper places and at a distance the candidates for Inner recognition were all right, . but In close fellowship wait awhile. The Vanderbilt spokesmen have been strictlv within the truth in saylnfr that in seeking control of Union Pacific there is no Intention to move asrKresslvely against rivals in th railroad held, but merely to occupy a position of such unques;:oned Iniluence and power as to be able to command tranquillity. In the acquirement of Union Pacific an annexing the svstem to the family establishment the Vanderbilts will bottle uj Gould and Hill and put a complete check t") the aggrandizement of two menanolng personalities. More than that, they will fix distinct the limitations of the several railrtftd groupings in process of formation. Ry occupying a middle belt across the continent thev confine the (io-ild sphere ot influence to the Southwest, with perhaps a thin strip to the seaboard, the Hill sphere of influence to the Northwest, holding; for themselves the central rone and the Northeast and leaving the Pennsylvania a fret field in the middle West, the middle an4 lower Rast Jnd Southeast. There is no longer a doubt that the Pennsylvania plan contemplates the absorption of the Southern Railway. K"atard. Chesapeake Ohio, and, possibly. Roulsvllle & Nashville, thus giving to that wonderful system a practical monopoly of the territory south of a line running from Philadelphia to St. Louis and an unshakable grip on the traffic originating and ending in New York and Chicago. Tho railroad map of th United States is undergoing a marvel""? transformation. The map makers are well along with their work. Another year should see its completion, barring accidents.

James Hamilton Lwis, of Washington State, who in the single term that he spent in Congress made himself well known throughout the country, 1 in this city.
