A PEACEFUL NATION
Bishop McCabe Says Chauncey De-
pew Misrepresents Our Attitude
Toward England--M. E. Church
Prosperous.

P1TTsBI-RG. Pa, May 2E-Bishop C.
C. McCabe. probably better known as
Cbaplain McCabe. of thu Methodist Epis-
copal church, was among the travellers
at the Union station.
In speaking the failure to adopt the
arbitration treaty, Bishop McCabe scored
Congress. and said that great chance for
the American people to set an example
to the world in the general movement for
international peace had been lost. 1T is
deeply to be regretted" said he. such
an opportunity for planting seeds Tor the
abolition of wars among the civilized ma
ticns of the globe should not have been
passed by.
"Chaurcey Depew, in his speeches
seems TO be giving the impression that We
as a nation. are hostile toward the Eng
fish. This is certainly an impression the
neonle of the United States do not de-
serve, and it places them in the wrong
light. OF course. there are many persons
who do not feel kindly toward England
but they DO not compose the better classes
of oux citizens nor are they in the major
itv I have written letter TO Lord Sails
bury upon this subject, and have IN
formed him that Mr.. Depew's remarks DO
not represent the sentiment OF our glorious
and peace-loving country"

unable to accomplish and reward her
for shifting it to our shoulders.
There is but one course for the United
States TO follow in this matter. That
course is to do what is right in view
Of all cur obligations. We should pro-
tect our own interests and demand
that Spain act in accordance with
treaties. international usages and the
laws of humanity. We should demand
that she cease her wanton assaults
on property and commerce and her pol
lev Of starving and butchering nom
combatants. We should recognize the
belligerency. or the independence Of
The Cubans whenever we are convinced
that the proper time for such action
has arrived. The ultimate fate of Cuba
is an after consideration, in which the
will of the Cubans should be a prime
factor.
It is the part of cowardice to fail TO
do what we ought to do, and it is both
unjust and impolitic to override the
rights of a people and burden ourselves
with entanglements to save a tyrant
from the consequences of his folly and
impotence.

INV PrECHA~F PROPOSITIONS.

Pr sideut McKinley's proposition TO
end the Cuban difficulty by the purchase
If the island from Spain would have
met with serious objection in the Uni
-ed states even had Spain netpromptly
turned it down.
Under the law of nations SPANS
right to hold Cuba is dependent on her
power 10 exercise sovereignty and to
enforce laws for the preservation OF
order and security. If her course has
been such as to ALLEVIATE the Cuban
people and so weaken ner hold upon
them that she finds it impossible to
assert her sovereignty, she has for
feited her right to do so.
But finding herself unable to main
tain her sovereignty and TO crush the
insurrection Of Cubans. Spain is vio-
lating the laws Of humanity and civili-
zation 10y practicing barbarities upon
the peaceful population and trying to
bring about the determination Of the
people and the ruin of all commercial
and property interests on the island.
The proposition to end these atrocities
and the state of war by purchase is a
proposition TO pay Spain to stop barbar-
titles we have the right to demand that
she stop and the ability to force her
to stop. We propose also TO pay her for
something she has lost through her
own folly.
But there is another aspect OF the
purchase plan which makes it par
ticularlv Objectionable to Americans.
from the standpoint both Of justice
and of policy If we guarantee the
purchase for the Cubans We assume re
sponsibilities not in keeping with the
sound policy of avoiding foreign en-
.anglemeuts to which We have adhered.
We shall be compelled to assume pro-
,ectorate over Cuba to the extent Of
enforcing the convention and Of restor-
ny order. II we purchase Cuba from
Spain We buy from her something she
mas no right 10 sell and violate the
fundamental principle of our own insti-
buttons that government should rest

What a year ago was characterized
by our Republican friends as an out
burst Of American feeling representing
the patriotic and liberty-loving con-
vict,ons of the people, namely, the
passage of the Cuban recognition res
olution. is now called brow-beating
and intimidating the President. Nc
Kinley deplores the action Of the Sen
ate. but we are assured he will not be
bulldozed. We are also assured by the
New York Herald. which claims to
speak 10y authority. that he is not nego-
.iating for the independence Of Cuba
as has been stated in the House and
oy his worried organs, generally. Nc
Kinley is said to regard the whole
,bfng as a Democratic trick to put his
administration i'm a hole. But ne
won't be bulied or brow-beaten and
Cuba may go to the dogs. The Nc
Kiulay backbone is up.
