WILLIAM SAYS WAIT.


1t is asserted that the president is
making close study of the Cubah sit
uation now, and will continue to do
so until his departure for Nashville on
the 10th, when it is expected that there
will be some definite deliverance to the
country. There are two things that
the American people can rely on:First,
that the president is an American in
all his sympathies and feelings, warm
ly devoted to her interests and Keen
ly alive to her advantages. Second, that
he has the absolute courage of his con-
victions and will not hesitate to carry
out any measures that in his opinion
and that of his advisors is for the
good of the nation. He is too well
poised to be hurried into any course
that his judgment does not approve,
and too humane to hesitate to inter-
pose for the oppressed of Cuba when
ever he feels that he can do so effec-
lively without prejudice to the peace
and good of the republic to which his
first duty and responsibility is due. The
general expectation seems to be that
something definite will unfold within
the next sixty days, and 1t Is to be hop
ed that the effort, whatever it is, will
be successful in freeing Cuba from the
brutality and destruction and outrage
that has cursed the government there
for many years. Cubans have rights
that other nations should respect, and
if her mistress has no soul Of Justice,
no bowels Of compassion, II her task
master is determined to grind out her
blood and bones in the mill OF greed,
then it is proper for the stronger gov
ernments to make such representations
to Spain as will compel her to halt and
do substantial justice to Cuba. This
appears to be largely the thought in
the mind of the president and he will
carry out whatever plan he decides up
on,in giving it expression; i'm his own
way. There is no other course open
but to be patient and wait. 1t is plain
to the man up a tree that President
cannot be forced hairs
breadth beyond the line that his per-
sonal and official judgment concludes
safe and right, and it is only wasting
breath to criticse his fnaction. Per-
haps it were wisest to initiate his own
reticence and while looking into all the
facts wait for their clearer unfolding.
