THE. PURCHASE OF CUBA

The substitute which we proposed IN our
ssue of Friday, for the Thirty Million bill,
seems to be most foVorably received in ail1n
Ielligent circles, except those adverse to- the
acquisition Of the island. Let Congress
adopt it, and the President will be scstrong
ly fortified for negotiation that eventual sue
cess is inevitable.
The plan is one to which no reasonable
exception can be taken. Whatever the sus
of Spain upon the subject of
sale OF her possession, there is nothing what
ever to wound them.
Such procedure would be worthy Of our
national position. 1t would indicate that we
are pre- pared to act nobly, openly, boldly
in the broad face of day-in the protection
Of our interests, and that we are incapable
of employing BRIBE MONEY for the attain.
ment Of the most cherished object. BRIDE
MONEY There is something in the very
sound of the words which all patriotic
Americans lothe. They are not people to
BRIDE or be BRIBED. If they should be-
come so fallen as to resort to the one they
would be prepared to accept the other. If
this ever occurs, then farewell to salutary
administration of our affairs. Pause-pause
