Haste VS.. Delay.

Some papers are now moralizing on
the impatience of the American pub
lie in crying. "On to Havana!" They
remark that there was a great cry in
the first years of the civil war, 'On to
Richmond" but it took about four
years for the Federal army to reach
that city. They say that the public
mustn't be so impatient and inconsid-
crate; it will all be done in good time.
1t is the opinion of some men who
saw the civil war through that on few
occasions the progress Of officers in the
field was greatly retarded, not to say
stopped, by orders issued. under mis-
conception, from Washington They
think it quite possible that had the gem
erals on the field been left to manage
matters themselves, the whole business
would have been over in about half the
time that 1t actually consumed. This
may be so, or 1t may not. No one will
ever know. But it is absolutely certain
that the American people do not want
this war to last four years, and cost
millions OF dollars, If there is any way
to avoid 1t. Immediately after the de-
struction OF the Maine it was pointed
out that the taking Of Havana would
be matter Of comparative ease. The
men who had had experience in the af-
fairs Of war declared that a short, sharp
and aggressive campaign would settle
the whole matter in short order. But
the Administration thought differently.

The reports of the committees show

For Very shame.

Nothing is more noticeable today
than the kindness of the national press
in not Offering unpleasant remarks on
the subject of Sampson and Cervera.
With such an example before US, our
lips are sealed, too, and we refrain
from saying the least word that might
be construed into criticism. This,
however, does not prevent us from re-
marking that the cheerful graveyard
whistle of Mr.. Secretary Long will not
scare away the ghost of an ugly inves-
tigaticn which the public will indulge
in, if CONGRESS does not, the object OF

LONGER elude him. He will be off about
his country's business, and very likely
be knocking a northeastern town into

mud turtles wobble around to where

We have always wished to be kind
to Mr.. Mckinley. He has thwarted US
sometimes. without intending to, per-
haps, but very effectively, just the
same. But We have not minded it, be-
cause We always knew that if CHM
