JOURNALISTIC SENTIMENTS.

BurrIeL, the bully butcher, is the last newspaper
title for the Governor OF Santiago de Cuba.
There is diversity OF opinion among republican
papers in regard to open hostilities with Spain.
Some are opposed to war on the ground that 1t
would benefit nobody but the gold gamblers O..
Wall street, while others are in favor OF 1t, evi-
dently thinking that 1t would insure the continued
success Of the republican party and give General
Grant third term.
The Minneapolis (Minn.) Times is for war. 1t
says, "The saddle colored butchers of Spain have
spit In our faces and we coolly wiped it or with
the American flag; they have boxed our ear, and
with Christian resignation we turned the other
toward them.u
The Delhi IN. ~ Gazette demands war with
Spain on two counts First is says, "Let the blood
OF the murdered of1cers and crew OF the virginius
cost Spain the island Of Cuba" and, second, that
humanity joins It's voice with their blood in de-
manding the freedom OF her slaves"
The Newark IN. J.) Advertiser is not prepared
yet to lay aside its uniform and hang up its arms
1t says:-.we adhere to the feeling that war viii
come, and the cost and danger OF war are con-
siderations secondary TO the vindicaton OF our
nag"
The GAINESVILLE (Ohio) Courier cannot see any
cause for a war between the United States and
SPAN. The editor has evidently just awakened
asylum. He had better 60 back couple OF weeks
and come up properly posted
The voice OF the .Allegan (Mich.) Journal 'fs for
war when the American nag and American citizens
are insulted. and. II 1t comes, let us annex Cuba
and enfranchise its oppressed people from the foul
yoke OF Its European oppressors."
The Portland (Me.) Argus says the motto OF the
American people is to demand only right and sub
init to nothing wrong, and they will not be satis-
ned until all the reparation possible be accorded
on the part OF Spain and the bloody butchers In
Cuba have evenhanded justice meted out TO them.
The Titusville (Pa) Herald thinks q war with
Spain would be popular, and would powerfully tend
to cement firmly together the people OF the North
ern and Southern States in lasting bonds OF Union
At any rate, the Herald says, the voice OF the
American people calls loudly for just retrbution,
and simple justice demands that the murderers
shall be delivered up for trial and punishment.
The position OF one OF the Rhode Island United
States Senators on the Cuban question is rather
foggy The Providence Journal over which he
presides. says we must exercise forbearance
towards Spain, because she is "peerng through
the darkness Of centuries OF ignorance and bigotry
Tor the light Of freedom;" but that '.the United
States will be compelled, for setsecurity, to as.
sert her power upon the island OF Cuba and in the
waters around IT." The last sentiment viii do.
The Charleston IS. C.) Ne,cs and Courier looks at
the Cuban question through pair Of old rebellion
spectaces. 1t asks what part or parcel has the
South IN national honor; 1t has given the South
mere kicks than coppers. The national nag, it
says, is pretty enough; but why should the South
be expected to bear IL in the van OF battle But it
qualities little and says II is willing to join in the
cry OF ION to Cuba" because they have tried
peace, and heaven knows that war cannot be any
worse.
The st. Paul CMfnn.) Pioneer has had ut over
the Cuban question. and In Its parexysm It
belches forth interrogatories like these :-"wny do
rulers who shivered like whipped spaniels In the
hundreds ofcases OF English depreciation now open
In full bay at this single act OF Spain Who OF the
administration is urging arbitration Who Is
suggesting any solution Of the question except at
the cannon's mouth Is It true that Americans
are really the gas bag all this indicates that they
have the indecency to bloviate, when weak
Power is the subject OF attack, while they cover
like puppies In the presence Of the strong ~
