The Washington Post, goldite, wants
Mckinley to place a colored man in his
Cabinet. Nothing could be more ap
prOpriate, and be should be a yellow
man. A gold administration should
match itself in every particular. We
presume that 95 per cent. OF the negroes
voted the gold ticket, and that means
one-sixth of the entire gold vote. Ger
tainly a yellow man should be placed
in the Cabinet to offset the vast num-
Der of green men who voted along o.
Wall street.

WAR PREPARATIONS, BUT NO
WAR.

Just now the United States Govern
ment is exceedingly active in getting
ready to whip somebody. though there
is no enemy in sight. We learn from
private sources that, in addition to the
strengthening Of our navy, which has
been going on for years, stupendous
work is being done on coast defences.
Boston and New York ere well nigh
impregnable, guarded by forts and
heavy guns AID torpedoes under water,
and work is now being done at Balti
more and on the Potomac below Wash
ington. Charleston will come in for
her share. We hope Fort Macon, near
Beaufort, will be opened up for bust
ness to protect the Atlantic Hotel and
DR.. Blacknall, for the doctor cau'G
eff Ird to miss his surf bathing next
summer. The Florida coast will be
we'll fortified end plans are on foot to
make it impossible for any feet toenter
the Mississippi river and destroy the
important cities on that river and it's
tributaries. San Francisco and Gal
weston will cOme in for their share. Il
is said that at soma points work is be-
ing carried On day and night.
The plain meaning Of all this is that
the "'old country" ideas are to be a
ried out in this country so far as war
preparations are concerned, and every
little rumor Of war is seized upon to
f1d excuses for the immense outlay of
money. We have no idea that Spain
will attempt to fight this country. If
the Cuban Insurgents are not defeated,
Spain may get up a rucus wish this
country ST for 8n excuse TO abandon
the Cuban war. If Spain and her 2OO,-
600 troops and navy can'5 whip Cuba,
an Island emsller than the Safe Of
N0rth Carolina, with rot over 40. O0O
available soldiers, poorly armed. she
need not make faces at the United
States. So there is no danger from
that quarter. Our financial interests
are SO i~nterlocked with those Of Eng
land, France, Germany and Italy, that
there is bus little prospect of war in
that direction.
The UnIcCd States have SO much ga
coast and such o large number of
navigable rivers, that it Is no5 possible
to support q navy strong enough to
protect our shores if a large feet were
to attack Us st different points at the
same time, and they might destroy
some important citieR, but no country
earth can whip us.
From Portland, Maine, there is an
immense mileage Of coast to the Gulf
of Mexico, and then tine entire Pacific
Ocean coast on the west side. But we
but little to fear from cur far
Western neighbors. However. our
Yankee ingenuity wou!d enable Us TO
make il warm for any foreign feet ct
any point on all coast. But we
don't want any war nor umo Of war,
and we still cling to the idea that the
quickest way to get into war is TO be
we'll prepared for it, and, for that
reason, as well as others, We regret so
much preparation Of a war like 6
