1T is too hard to get" says
the cheap dollar advocates. Why:
Because men are out of employ
ment. There is no work for the
wage Garner, no market for the
farmer, no demand for the manu-
featured product. What is the
remedy Bryan says, 'open the
mints, give us cheap dollar, one

While Bryan is swinging around
the circle entertaining crowds of
curiosity seekers with his oratory
of hysteria, Mckinley is receiving
at mis- home daily crowds of farm
ers, mechanics, wage-earners and
business men, who seek to honor
him. There has never been a
more striking example in our pol

sInated turns out to be untrue. 1t was
not an improbable story. The lnfurl-
ated people are demanding sacrifice.
They parade the streets shouting
death to Baratieri!"
They want the defeated commander
tried and shot. They hold him respon-
sible for the crushing defeat of their
eountrymen. Perhaps any other COM
mander could have done no better.
Baratieri held a council of war and his
subordinate generals favored unani-
inously the attack which ended in the
humiliation of the italian army en-
gagged.
1.-THE people of Italy were to refer the
disaster to Its true cause they would
ind it in that greed of dominion which
induced Italy to try to establish itself
in kbyssinia, where 1t had no more
rights than 1t has in the moon.

would try her hand at the same busI-
ness. II she could recall her Abyssin-
ian history she would be very far from
going into that costly and humlliating

MADRID, March GAS a result OF

Spanish minister at Washington mad

Cleveland would veto any Cuban reso-

from an authoritative source as to the

that up to the present time the minis

that the President will veto the CUBAN
resolutions, nor Is he informed, so far
as the government knows, what the tu-

at Washington will be.

Is no doubt that In one or the other
form the two houses will speedily agree
upon them as n result OF the conference
that was ordered yesterday. 1t re-
mains to be decided whether or not they
require the Presidents approval or are
subject to his veto.
But whatever the decision on that
point may be. the resolutions call upon
the President for action. In the name
and by the undoubted will OF the Ameri.
can people they call upon him TO recoS-
nize the belligerent rights OF the Cuban
patriots, to strengthen the cause OF lib
erty in the island with the assurance
Of American, sympathy, and TO use
every good office Of our government TO
secure for this neighhoring people the
recognition OF their right to self gov

President going 10 do about It? That
question is anxiously asked in every
quarter OF the Union.
There are uncomfortable rumors on
the subject. II is reported that the
President Is not In sympathy with the
country on this matter.
The Language OF his message OF last
December Is quoted-though not con-
clusively-in support OF this assertion.
II Is further said that the President has
gone so far as to assure the Spanish
government that nothing Will be done

But what is the President going TO

imous declaration of both houses oil

that he shall so stulufy himself after

II there was a shadow OF excuse for MS

The President has been aroused by
the publication Of the recent statement
purportIng to represent the views of the
administration on the Cuban question.
He says that he knew nothing OF the
statement until he saw It in print, and
that he usually has no difficulty in ad-
dressing the public in his own way.
The Presidents reputation OF the
statement must be accepted, All the
same that statement was given by
somebody in authority who thought he
wns speaking for the President, at leust
rejecting his view. But the whole
thing Is easily. arranged to the public
satisfaction. All that the President
has to do is to act in response 10 the
wish Of Congress and the people.
The Cuban question is easy to under
stand. The right thing to do is easy to
know. Congress- and the people know
what the right thing Is. The Cubans
are making nm heroic struggle TO be free
from oppressive rule. The American
colonies made the same fight With
friendly aid they won their fight.
The least that this country can do for
these deserving nciGhbors is TO recog-
nIze what they have accomplished. In
a years fighting they have brought
about state of public war. When this
exists the parties to It are bclllgerents.
This Ia the fact which the United States
should recognize, no matter who OBJ
iects.
