Making Him Ridiculous.
From the Philadelphia Record Oem).

According to the latest version of the
Presidents Cuban policy" he proposes
to buy the island for 100000. The beaut-
full simplicity of this proposed solution of
the Cuban problem is complicated by two
formidable preliminary difficulties. In the
first place, who is going to furnish the
purchase money? This question being an
swered, the next would be: How can a
thing be bought which its owner declines
to sell? Does it never occur to the ofhcious
friends of the President. who are trying
to make the country believe that he has
matured something brilliant in the line OF
"Cuban politics" that they are merely
making the administration ridiculous by
their absurd forecasts?

From the New York Times (Dem.).

The sane and sober part of the American
people look to see Speaker Thomas B. Reed
sit on the Morgan beligerency resolution
with the full weight of his 275 pounds and
his down-east common sense. His famous
rules give him the power, his pounds and
inches give him the courage, and his sound
judgment will, we doubt not, give him the
inclination to crush the life out of that
silly and dangerous measure before it does
any further mischief.

II is perfectly clear that war is the pur-

Spain would fight u.s. but Il runs all
