II wondher what in all ails Mckinley"
What about?' demanded Mr.. Dooley.
THAT he don't open up war again Spain, "
said Mr.. Hennessy.
II don't know, I'm sure" Mr. Dooley re-
Joined He'd ought to- that's sure. Here is
Cuba bein' depop' lated an rooned an here
ARE we smokin' cigars made in Wisconsin
an our commerce bein' destroyed an all
tn big type in tn newspapers wearin' out
an yet 20 fight. 1t can't be that he's afeerd.
We wud ate Spain up in day, we Wcu m
deed. Look at our raysOorces. Look at IN
men we cud put in tn field: Fitzsimmons,
tn Boston baseball nine, TIL Clan a-Gael
Gya-ards, tn Englewood Cadets an Joseph
NEEDLE, tn editor iv tn Thrybune. Cud
amy totterin' dynasty Nv Europe overcome
that martial array as tn fellow says.
Yes, know they have some braye editors
in Spain-as gallant lot iv la-ads as iver
slung a pen. But they're not In tn same
class with our sojers. TIL columns iv their
pa-apers amt so long. They can't do tn
sthrat-ee-gee that q good American editor
is brought up on.
Mckinley ought to rely upon thin more
thin he does. He's not got tn thrue spirit
an they're tn la-ads to give 1t to him. He
wastes too much time in palaverin'. He
snds over Gin raj WooCford to say to tn
Queen iv Spain: Madam, tn President pre-
sints his compliments to We an wants to
know If We won't be so kind as to come to
some arrangement in Cuba he says Thin
iv'rybody takes a fresh light an waits.
Bimeby tn Queen comes in an says she:
'Presint to Msther Mack renewed assur-
ances iv me mos distinguished con-sidera-
ton an tell him to go to blazeS, she says.
III communicate ye'er Inajestys roar at
WanSt, says WOodford. Whtn he rayturnS
he says: TIL Prisidint desires me to con-
vince we iV his more thin fatherly affection,
to assure We that ye'er tn on'y girl he liver
really cared FIR, but he's sorry fr to tell We
in reply to ye'er rayquist Nv even date that
he has other engagements thatn prevint
him firm acceptin. An so 1t goes an nav
thin Is done.
they'd be no small talk Woodfordd go
over to tn widow woman with wan small
child an him King, an he'd say: Look
here we don't want no more nonsense, see
Will We give us Cuba, or will we take ii off
We? An if she rayfused, thin tn Prisidint q
call out tn Mulligan Gya-ards an tn Auro-
IA Zouaves an Father Macchew's Fife an
Dhrum Corpse an tn Civic Featheration
an tn Womans Club an all tn r-rest iv
our ightin' strength, an he'd confront tn
Spanyard with solid, warlike columns iv tn
Thrybune an he'd nail Cuba an in a few
years we'd have tn island prosperous an
happy an d be raisn' our own supplies iv
yellow fever stead iv importin' thin FIR m
what cud Spain do? Wan good editor
