wise to show yourself more ready for war.
As to the Leading question of the present
hour, the Administration can need no sug-
gestions from any quarter if it is in earnest
10 Its professed determination to make the
rights of American citizens and the policy
of the United States once more respected
throughout the world. 1t can take no ac-
ton In carving out such a determination
which will not command the unqualified
support of the patriotic people of this
country. Of course it is likely enough
that it will be assaulted and embarrassed
in taking any action whatever by the de-
magogues and machine drivers of both
political parties; for while there are not
few Republican politicians who dread
the development of any policy which prom
lses justice to the people of the great
Southwest, there are not few Democrat
&c politicians who are shortsighted and
ignorant enough to fancy that the pros
poets of the Democratic party will be dark
ened if Democratic principles are carried
into effect by President who was nomina
ted though not elected by the Republican
party. But the masses of the American
people are made of different atuff from
these men, and they will not be apt to
deal tenderly with any man or any set of
men who may get in the way of prompt.
thorough and intelligent vindication of
American honor and of American interests
