TAKING THE STRINGS OFF. It is evident that the American Government has inaugurated a change of policy in the management of our arms of offense that is going to give us greatly better results whenever such arms have to be employed in War. Heretofore the American system has been one of direction of movements of both army and navy from the departments at Washington, even to the more inconsequential activities in the field. This has been due to the extreme jealousy with which the founders of the Government viewed the danger that they feared dwelt in giving the military power free rein. Hence our policy has been to withhold from naval commanders abroad freedom to act whenever it was possible to maintain communication with them with reasonable epeecL But now with a Strategy Board composed of skilled and experienced men of the navy sitting in Washington, and having in charge the execution of the policy of the Government in the conduct of a war, its direction to commanders Inaugurates a system vastly surperior to the old, and one promising the best results.

Under its advice the Secretary of the Navy, who is a civilian and never a naval expert, gives specific or general orders, and when the need is imposes upon the judgment of our naval commanders abroad the responsibility of freedom of action. This is a distinct and most praiseworthy advance. Under the old system we would not, probably, have so speedily achieved the success now believed to have been won in the Philippines. Let us suppose, for instance, that Manila Bay had been so related by telegraphic communication with Washington that Commodore Dewey on its entrance could have communicated with Washington. Under the former system he would have been required to do so before entering upon an attack.

If he had not enjoyed freedom, however, does any one believe for a moment that Washington would have sent him orders to make that splendid night dash past the forts and into the harbor? We do not entertain any All our past history discredits it. Our long-time policy negatives the thought. It is now conceded that the war of the rebellion would have been sooner and better fought out had our armies been tied less to Washington by official strings. The conviction has been fore- Ing itself upon the American mind that the British system is better than ours, 'which gives a naval commander abroad free rein comparatively, trusting to his Judgment, imposing upon him the responsibility under instructions of a general nature. The result is that we have found British naval commanders everywhere, acting instantly and with effectiveness whenever the interference of navy was necessary to enforce a right or protect a British sub- JetJt or his property.

The other day there was a call from Britons and Americans imprisoned in an interior town in a South American State. A British Captain to whom the appeal was made instantly went with a force of blue jackets to the rescue of the men, and brought them safely out of Illegal detention. He did not wait to ask for orders from home. When the gallant English commander of a British man-of-war rescued the Vir ginlus prisoners on Spanish soil from beneath the muzzles of their executioners, he did so by virtue of the power him and the confidence reposed in him by his Government. Had he waited to communicate with the Home Office, the unhappy Americans of that ili-starred expedition would have fallen before Spanish bullets.

Only the other day there came an appeal, it is reported, from a Cuban port for aid to save a British Consul from an angry mob. An English at Kingston moved at once, not waiting even to call in all its crew from ttie share, and went to the assistance of the distressed official. It may be rather extreme statement to say that bad it been an American commander our oXd policy would have made him timid, and he might have felt it the safer course to pursue to ask advices from Washington before getting up stexam to go to the aid of an American Consul similarly situated. If Dewey has achieved the victory "which it is believed he has won, it is due to the fact that for once in our naval history authority to exercise his own judgment and act as circumstances and opportunity suggested was given an American Commodore. Dewey did that which the Navy Department formerly would have restrained him from doing, if it had knowledge of his contemplated dash and splendid feat.

If our army invades Cuba it will go under command that we can trust fully, in whose judgment we can rely. Having given the commanders general instructions as to the desires of the Government and the ends it has in view, the Strategic Board having laid its plans correspondent with the policy of the Naval Department, the latter will probably take off restraining strings and leave our officers to achieve victories or avoid conflicts as conditions and opportunities dictate. Yet these officers will be so related to the board and the Washington departments that changes can be easily communicated, and the action of ships and troops be kept harmonious with the advice of the commanders and under the general strategic policy determined at the Capital. There are rumors of Spanish plotting to work harm to people and property in California. While not disposed to give ear to it, nevertheless there is a large Spanish population in California, people devotedly attached to their native land, and among them there may be some spirits who would not hesitate to work disaster among us.

We wish to think better of human nature than that, but still it would be wise to keep an eye open for treacherous and cowardly assault. It is talked about the streets of San Francisco and this city that the trains bearing arms across the continent to be sent to Commodore Dewey's fleet may be in danger from some Spanish hotheads. To perpetrate an act violence of that order would bring down vengeance upon the whole- Spanish population in California, unjust as it misht be, and the innocent would be made to suffer with the guilty, possibly without the guilty. must assume, therefore, that right-thinking Spanish residents of California will exert their influence to the utmost to prevent any of the hot-headed and violent order of their people doing anything to bring about a conflict in this State. In the meantime officials cannot be too watchful against possible spies, assassins and incendiaries.

The Spanish are as safe among us as at home, as long as no violence is precipitated by them. The American people are not given to classing resident foreigners among their enemies who are not personally in arms against us. We may war with their home lands, but they need fear no harm among us, as long as they give no occasion for trouble. Ex-Surgeon-General Hamilton of the United States army says there is no natural reason why Havana should be a breeding-place for yellow fever; that the reason it is such now is because of the people, not the topography or the natural conditions. This is unquestionably true, and Surgeon-General Hamilton is only one of many high medical and sanitary authorities who have made the same diagnosis.

The Spanish system of sanitary regulation is like all things else Spanish, a century behind the times. Dr. Hamilton, at length in our dispatches recently, set forth the reasons why Havana is unhealthful, and these are most largely because of the conduct of the civil and military authorities, who disregard the commonest precepts of sanitary laws. Who knows but that it is to be given to Americans to remove by means of this war one of the most desolating of plague spots up into the realm of salubrity and healthfulness? From Cuba we have received most of the germs cf yellow fever, which has cost the American people so many tens of thousand'? of lives and so many millions of treasure. If the war puts an end to this threat it will be worth all it costs us.

The New York "Tribune," which opposed the war to the last moment, urging instead all possible means of settlement peaceably, now exclaims: This war is not one of our seeking. Let that never be forgotten. However the heathen have raged and some of the people imagined vain things, the authoritative voice of this nation has been steadfastly for peace. Every resort for keeping the peace, with honor, and with fidelity to the highest duties of the nation, has been tried in vain. The impassioned words of Patrick Henry are almost exactly applicable: "Shall we try argument? We have been trying that for the last ten years.

We have held up the subject in every light of which it is capable. We have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned, we have remonstrated, we have supplicated. Our petitions have been slighted, our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult, our supplications have been disregarded. An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us." That statement of the case is as true to-day as it was one hundred and twenty-three years ago.

Good for the Democratic Richmond It has the courage to say to partisans who have been attributing to President McKinley sordid and ignoblft purposes and cowardice, as well as indecision: "It would never occur to us jto suspect the President of the United I States, no matter what political put him into office, of such baseness has been attributed to President Kinley. We would be slow to believe such things of our President upon the most plausible representation, and nothing short of positive proof would convince us. We would feel that we had dishonored ourselves to suspect such evil of the nation's Chief Magistrate, and we cannot but have a feeling of contempt for those who have made these charges without one scintilla of evidence to sustain them." "Harper's Weekly," which to the last opposed the war remedy, now says: "The joy of battle ought not to feed the lust of conquest." That is gracefully put. and is true. But this fine sentiment should not run us to the extreme iof rejecting opportunity to secure what our due, in the way of harbors of refuge and supply for our ships at points somewhat distant from our shores.

The ability to protect our citizens and commerce can best be fortified in that way. A navy is of small value which is liable at short distance to become nerveless and helpless for want iof fuel and repairs. But whatever we acquire for these purposes should be had with justice and honor. This year we should have a rousing good Fourth of July celebration, not a perfunctory, matter-of-course affair, but one of LBganlnl patriotic manifestation; one in which all the people are besought to take part: a celebration worthy of the day and the nation. It is not an hour too early, to begin preparation now.

SACRAMEHTO DALLAS SAT I RP MAY 7, 1898, VOICE OF THE PRESS. EXTRACTS FROM EDITORIAL EXPRESSION. State and Coast Opinions on Subjects of Living News Interest. Alameda Argus: Fears of excesses by the Philippine insurgents are frequently expressed in the papers. The insurgents are made up mostly of natives and half-castes, who, through hundreds of years of Spanish barbarities, have been wrought up to the highest pitch of retaliation, and who have had the bloodthirstiness of the Spanish grafted and confirmed upon their savage natures.

The ferociousness of the Spanish authorities in putting down the frequent uprisings in the islands has been almost past belief, from accounts that have come to the outside world notwithstanding the habit the Spaniards have of suppressing news. There is, unfortunately, danger of excesses when the American tleet, in conjunction with the insurgent army, get possession of Manila. The latter will no doubt try to even up in a few hours or days the outrages their people have suffered for a hundred years. SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN. Los Angeles Times: A few years in State's prison would appear to be the right thing for the newspaper correspondents who made public the secret mission of Lieutenant Rowan to Cuba.

They have not only endangered the life of that gallant officer, but have jeopardized the success of the movement it was his mission to inaugurate. The prompt banishment of the smart young men who gave this information to the Spaniards would produce a good effect on the enterprising "gernalists" who have a tendency to get fresh. PUMPING FOR IRRIGATION. Fresno Republican: Evidence is multiplying that pumping for irrigation is a success in any locality where the water supply is near the surface and cheap power is obtainable. The report has come to the "Republican" from an authentic source this week that farmers southwest of Fresno have thoroughly irrigated 1,000 acres of grain at a cost of 20 cents an acre.

This is a practical demonstration of the claim that the cost of irrigating with pumps is but slightly in excess of irrigating from canals which divert water from flowing streams, and cheaper, evidently, than the system in vogue in Southern California of impounding water by the construction of expensive dams and reservoirs in the mountains. A PECULIAR WAR. Santa Rosa Press-Democrat: Christian people throughout the world have for many years held to the hope that the reign of perpetual peace among civilized nations had commenced, and this war between Spain and the United States is, of course, an unwelcome blow to that hope. But there is a widespread faith that the present conflict may in the end strengthen the influences that are at work to maintain peace among the nations. It is certainly such a war as has never before been waged by any country; it is a struggle, the sole purpose of which is to end the barbarous deeds of a nation that has not kept step with the march of civilization and a country that insists on blackening the records of the nineteenth century with the story of the cruel practices of the dark ages.

The Avar gives fair and sufficient warning to the world that there is one great nation which so firmly believes in free government and individual liberty that it is willing to make heroic sacrifices to aid a neighboring people te free themselves and to enjoy in peace the fruits of their labor. Even more than that, it means that there is one great Power ready to use its ships and to contribute volunteer armies in the effort to establish justice among the nations, and tb assist in the struggle toward universal enlightenment. The war will certainly add the already tremendous moral influence of this country, and of its fret institutions in the affairs of the world, and hereafter, when any flagrant act of injustice is contemplated by any nation against another, the question of what the United States will do in the matter will always enter into the decision of the case. PURPOSE OF THE WAR. Los Angeles Express: Some of the leading daily newspapers at the East are still disposed to confine the operi ations of the war to the original pur; pose of intervention, that of securing peace and quietude in Cuba, and thus give the parties and factions on the island an opportunity to determine their differences by free ballot.

Among these hesitating newspapers is the New York "Tribune," which, it should also be said, has all along doubted if there would be any war, and insisted that intervention such as President McKinley contemplated would not necessarily lead to a rupture of all relations bej tween this country and Spain. It now declares it is intervention that this country has set itself to attempt, and is committed to accomplish, and that its only purpose is to give the people of Cuba a chance to vote upon the question of what form of local government they would have. Of course it assumes that in the process Spain will lose even the semblance of sovereign control. But what if the assumption should not be borne out by the resultant facts? It is true that inter! vention. even the armed intervention I that was proposed by the President, is not the same thing as war, and that it might somewhere take place and war be averted rather than brought on.

I There is abundant reason to believe that Mr. McKinley hoped that the threat he made of armed intervention would be enough; that Spain would I hasten to make concessions that would i satisfy the Cuban patriots and appease the just wrath of the people of the United States. But he soon shook him- I self out of that frame of mind. He I made no remonstrance, and accepted the situation as it was made for him by Congress. He went further than Congress had done, and required from that body a formal declaration of war.

What. then, can the New York "Tribj une" mean when it says that it is still I intervention only? NOT FLURRIED. San Jose Herald: Bradstreet's re! marks upon the lack of excitement, nerj vousness and interruption to the ordi! nary orderly conduct of public affairs, and particularly business operations, with which this country has passed from peace to war. That is partly owing to the fact that the Americans are sensible, practical, cool-headed people, and partly because they have an idea I that Spain is a sort of a no-account, back-number concern which we can I whip without half trying. If we had kept up a military and naval force any kind of proportion to our population and wealth we could have undertaken this business without any, disturbance to the ordinary current of affairs worth mentioning.

As it is, being chronically unprepared for the trouble, we have had to spend a lot of money in a hurry in bad bargains for thines needed at once. Perhaps this brush with Spain will teach us a lesson, at least in naval economy. THE ASIATIC FLEET. San Diego Tribune: The condition of the Asiatic Meet under Commander Dewey should be a most significant lesson to opponents of Hawaiian annexation. With no coaling station in the Pacific, now that war is declared, the American fleet must, unless it captures a port of the Philippines, meekly beg some fuel from some neutral nation to take it home, and then like whipped curs too far from the kennel, make tracks for the United States.

It is about time that this great country was freed from the thralldom of crossroads statesmen. DON'T AID THE SCHEME. Stockton Mail: The so-called Volunteers of America have started out in Stockton to beg in order to enable them to issue to tramps and beggars tickets which call for a meal and bed. The does not fear that any one will accuse it of lack of sympathy with the deserving poor when it expresses its unqualified condemnation of this scheme. We trust that no citizen, when the facts are spread before him, will contribute a penny to the Volunteers for this purpose.

There are two objections to the scheme. These meal tickets are sold to citizens who keep them to give to beggars. It is a notorious fact that not one in five of the tickets so given is ever used by the recipient. They are simply flung away by tramps. The result is that the money remains as clear profit in the hands of the vendors.

It was precisely by this scheme that the Infamous "Army of Jesus Christ," whose scoundrelly leader was this week sentenced to the penitentiary for assault on a little girl, managed to live in idleness. It was so testified by several of the gang in open court. The Volunteers of America is not an infamous body, at all. But Its meal-ticket plan is a costly and foolish method of throwing away charitable folks' money. The main objection we have to the plan, however, is this: There is no necessity for a single able-bodied man or boy to be begging in Stockton to-day.

The manager of the Crockett Sugar Refinery's business in this county, Mr. Raaf, told the "Mail" last evening that he was at his wits' end to get labor for the beet fields. He stands ready gladly to put 500 men at work to-day. And he declares that because he cannot induce the lazy white men who loaf and beg around Stockton to go to work, he will be forced to go to San Francisco and engage Chinese and Japanese labor. COAL, CALIFORNIA AND WAR.

San Jose Mercury: The "Commercial News" is not so pessimistic, and that journal is a good judge of the situation. It reports that during the past week the arrivals of coal at San Francisco have aggregated more than 36,000 tons. The liberal deliveries lately from the coast, says that journal, serve to keep stocks in yard intact, so that the anticipated shortages for May and June will not be realized; in fact, foresighted buyers are ordering ahead of their requirements, knowing that an overplus of fuel is seldom regretted, where a deficiency is disastrous. As to the probability of Spanish cruisers or privateers obstructing Australian and British Columbian coal shipments, "Spain cannot afford to scatter her ships, and we are too far from the base of operations; besides we are well able to care for our interests here if we ever come to close quarters. The main problem to be solved now is, Can ship-owners be forced to fulfill coal charters signed prior to April 21st? Opinions differ on this point, but the 'News' thinks they can." There is not much danger of a scarcity of coal.

The war with Spain is not likely to affect the price of coal in this State onehalf as seriously as did the thieving combination of San Francisco dealers which was recently broken up by the United States courts: Always Up to Date. (Pomona Weekly Times.) The "Weekly Sacramento Union" entered on its forty-sixth year last week. It has always ranked high in every department required to make an allround good newspaper. It is never sensational, but always up to date in giving reliable news, and in its discussion of affairs. It usually stands in with Republican party policies, but is nevertheless independent in its criticism of them.

My menstruation had stopped and they said my blood was turning to water. I had several doctors. They all said I could not live. I began the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it helped me right away; menses returned and I have gained in weight.

I have better health than 1 have had for years. It is wonderful what your Compound has done for me." "I Feel a New Perton." Mrs. Geo. Leach, 1609 Belle Alton, 111., writes: Before I began to take your Vegetable Compound I was a great sufferer from womb trouble. Menses would appear two and three times in a month, causing me to be so weak I could not stand.

I could neither sleep nor eat, and looked so badly my friends hardly knew me. I took doctor's medicine but did not derive much benefit from it. My druggist gave me one of your little books, and after reading it I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I feel like a new person.

I would not give your Compound for all the doctors' medicine in the world. I can not praise it enough." Your Bock Beer A this year is the 1 best I have ever Jk tasted."
