By what right does a dynasty like that stand, ami t% I corrupt cotn t dominate a people for con* turies, taxing them to death, riding in ' gilded chariot over tho nooks of a beggared yo pulntipn? Auother alleviation is that tho war opens With a great victory for the United Slates, in the most jubilant manner lot the victory of our navy be celebrated. With tho story of the destroyed battleship fresh in the minds of tho world It .would require no ordinary courage tQ jflffl bpto "the 'harbor of Manila and Attack the Spanish shipping. Tliat harbor, crowded with sunken weaponry of death, to enter it was running'a risk enough to make all nations shiver. But Manila is ours, and tho blow has shaken to tho foundation the palace* of ' Madrid, and for policy's sake the doubtful nations nro on our side. For Commodore Dewey and all who followed him let the whole nation uttor its most resounding huzza; and more than that, let us thank the Lord of hosts for Ills guiding and protected power, "l'raise ye tho Lord! Let . iKtiux imil. nam preatu pralso the Lord!" Another alleviation is the fact that in this war the mi^lit is on the side of the ritrl.t. Again and again have liberty and luslieo and suiTeriug humanity had the | odds against them. It was so when lien\adadV Syrian boat*. who wore in the wrong. at Aphok, cmno upon tho small regiments of Israel, who were ia the right, ;he lllblo putting it ia one of those graphic sentences for which tho book is remarkihle?"The children of Israel pitched heore them like two little docks of kids, but he Syrians tilled the whole country." It . vas so in t he awful defeat of the Lord's * ?eoplo at (iilboa and Mogiddo. It was so eeently when gallant and glorious (Jrec -o vas In conillet with gigantic Mohatumohtuism, an 1 tiie navies of Europe hovering ibout tlie Uosphorus wora in practical iLoi.-ciiou 01 mo Turkish government, " resh from tho slaughter of one hundred housund Armcuiaus.

Hut now it is our powerful navy ith enough guns to send the opposing eet ns completely under ns wuon the lied on suhmtA-g d Pharaoh's nrtnv. xVnotlier alleviation is the fact that wo ( avo :t (rod to go to in behalf of ail those f our countrymen who may be in especial xposure at t he front, for we must admit 10 perils.
