eye for Dewey's achievements at
Manila or Sampson's work off Cuba
and Porto Rico. They condemn
what they cannot understand, which,
as they can understand nothing, is
but another way of saying they con
demn everything.
It would be a boon to an excited
and sorely tried people, as well as to
that part of the press which has some
reputation to lose, if these yelpers
and howlers could be made to under
stand what . an exhibition they are
giving of their ignorance and dis
loyalty. Then; if they are not
shameless as well as ignorant and
hdisloyal, they would close their
mouths and cleanse their newspapers.
Tbey arc a disgrace to their country

GLADSTONE'S CAREER.
IGNORANT AND TREASONABLE"
The enemies of our navy find com
fort in every slur that comes from
Madrid. Every dispatch sent out
by the Spaniards to mislead us is to
these carpers gospel truth. Every
dispatch telegraphed from Key West
to deceive the Spaniards is accepted
by these pent-up critics as evidence
that some American has blundered.
The men who said if there had
been no Maine there would have
been no explosion in Havana har
bor; who were so ignorant of naval
construction as to insist that vessels
of iron and steel were more danger
ous to the men on board than to on
enemy, are now sitting in judgment
on Admiral Sampson and the naval
strategy board. The self-constituted
strategists who shouted three
weeks ago that "the floating batter
ies cilled warships" were useless ex
cept in coast defenses, are now insist
ing that the floating batteries ought
to outsail the Spanish fleet and cap
ture it. The newspaper colonels
who said a month ago that a cam
paign in Cuba before fall would be a
useless sacrifice of our troops arc now
shouting "On to Havana." The
alarmists who some weeks ago assert
ed that the Spanish fleet would ignore
Cuba and strike at our own coast,
are now in hysterics because the
fleet is reported in a Cuban port.
The pen-and-ink experts, who two
months since claimed that the Ore
rrnnl would founder in her vovae
o o
around the Horn, are now grumbling
because she has not repotted at Key
."West.
The enemies of the navy have no
In the ninety years which spanned
the life of Gladstone, the crown of
England rested upon four beads.
We gain a better comprehension of
the ranje of this long and useful life
by recalling the fact that Gladstone
was a boy of 10 when' George III,
under whose reign the American col
onies won .their freedom, was gath
ered to the tomb of .bnglisu mon-
arcbs. . He was 6 rears old when
Napoleon was routed at Waterloo,
and bis marvelous memory distinctly
recalled the thnnder of British can
non in commemoration of that vic
tory. "I heard the glass of the
windows of'the Royal hotel rattle to
the guns of the castle as they an
nounced one of the great victories
over Napoleon."
During his lifetime, the premier
ship had twenty-one changes, begin
ning with Portland, and ending with
Salisbury," in the following order:
Portland, Percival, Canning, Gode-
ricb, Wellington, Grey, Melbourne,
Peel, Melbourne, Peel, Russell, Der
by, Palmerston, Russell, Derby, Dis
raeli, Gladstone, Disraeli, Gladstone,
Salisbury .Gladstone, Salisbury, Glad
stone, Rosebery, Salisbury.
While Gladstone was prime minis
ter for only thirteen years all told,
the periods of his premiership were
fraught with momentous reforms and
great movements. Beginning bis
premiership in 1869, he promptly
forced the disestablishment of the
Irish church. In 1870 the Irish ten
ant act and the elementary educa
tion acts became Jaw. In 1871 the
purchase of commissions in the army
was abolished ; and in 1872 he.se t-
tled the Alabama claims with the
United States and brought about the
ballot act providing for secret vot
ing.
Gladstone's government was de
feated in the general election of
1874, and Disraeli was recalled as
premier. In lHa Gladstone visited
Ireland, and there took on the im
pressions and convictions which led
to bis aggressive struggle for land
and government reforms for that un
happy island.
On the fall of the Disraeli minis
try in 1880, Gladstone formed a
ministry, and in 1881 passed the
Irish land act. Four years later his
government resigned, and be declined
the queen's offer of an earldom. Sal
isbury succeeded him as prime min
ister, but a year later he came back
into power, and pressed his Irish
home rule bill on the commons. It
was quickly defeated, and in 1887
Salisbury came back into power and
held office until 1892, when Glad
stone formed another ministry and
drove'his Irish home rule bill through
the house of commons. The reform
was rejected by 'the house of lords,
and Gladstone was not strong enough
with the country to force the lords
to terms.
In 1894 he resigned the formal
leadership of the liberal party, placed
the reins of government in the hands
of Lord Rosebery, and retired to
private life. His great work was
ended, and thenceforth until the end
he passed the few remaining years in
well-eained repose, though . main
taining to the last a keen and advis
ory interest in the great affairs of
England and the world.
The English masses have always en
tertained a loving regard for the
simple and pure-minded. statesman
who would not throw aside the name
be inherited for any title within the
gift of his sovereign. Though often
tempted he would not drop the
"Mr." It was good enough for the
great commoners who had been con
temporaneous with him, and as plain
Mr. Gladstone he was known and
loved during the four-score years
of his active public life. He had
been liberal, too, in dealing out titles
to others. Indeed, he was charged at
one time with being lavish in creat
ing peers, his object being to infuse
new life into the House of Lords.
But the titles craved by others had
no charms for him, and he wrote his
name W. E. Gladstone to the last.

OUR TRADE WITH CUBA.
Mourning over the death of the
grand old man of history is not con
fined to England, but in that country
very naturally and very properly
evidences of sorrow are more general
and more pronounced than elsewhere.
The statistician of the department
of agriculture, Mr. John Hyde, has
jii9t given the public a table showing
the commerce between the United
States and Cuba- during the ten years
ending June 30, 1 897. This decadal
exhibit is by years and by articles,
The showing is even more remarka
blc than has been generally claimed,
At the time the war opened between
Spain and the United States Cuban
commerce had been practically par
alyzed and destroyed. During the
last two years covered by this table
our imports from the island fell off
75 per cent, our exports over 61 per
cent. Mr. Hyde's figures show
total decline of $69,000,000 in the
annual value of our trade with Cuba
As this commerce was nearly all car
ried in American bottoms, the loss
must be set down as much greater
than the figures show.
Hisb-water mark was reached in
the year which closed June 30, 1893,
The total for that year was $102,
864,204, the ratio beins about ten
to three in favor of imports. The
Spanish policy has been to discour
age exports from this country to
either Spain or any of the Spanish
colonies.
We get very little frcm Cuba ex
cept sugar and tobacco. Our sales,
on the other band, are much more
diversified. Animal products bead
the list, with breadstuff's next. Then
follow manufactured articles of
wood, iron and steel, paper and cot
ton. Farmers and and manufsctur-
ers share about equally in the trade.
Our trade with Cnba before the
troubles there was very nearly equal
to cur entire Asiatic commerce. Mr.
Hyde makes some interesting and
impressive comparisons, taking ine
year ley 3 as - bis base or calcula
tion.
Our trade with Cuba was four
times that of our trade with China or
Japan; thirteen times that with Rus
sia. It exceeded the grand total or
our trade with all . these countries :
Austria, Hungary, Russia, Sweden
and Norway, Denmark, Turkey,
Greece, Italy, Switzerland and Portugal.
Nor is this all. While the Cuban.
trade was largely exports from Cuba
to the United States, our exports to
Cuba were nearly twice as great as
those from this country to Italy;
over three times as great as those to
China and Japan combined ; nearly
six times as great as those to Sweden
and Norway, and over ten times
those to Russia. In other words,
Cuba bought nearly as much from
us that year as Italy, China, Japan,
Sweden, Norway and Russia com
bined. Our total exports to Asia
were not more than 75 per cent of
our exports to little Cuba. All
South America, exclusive of Brazil,
bought from us less than Cuba did.
From the standpoint of commerce
with the United . States, import and
export, Cuba takes high rank among
the nations, Great Britain alene ex
cepted. Even if there were no con
sideration of humanity, our commer
cial interests would justify us in in
sisting upon the rescue of Cuba.
