AUNITED FRONT.

The Times favors at all times the
largest liberty OF thought and action,
but there are periods where the most
obvious prophecies suggest that indi-
vjduals should restrain their impulses
and act in subordnation TO some
common will. Such a case as that exists
at this time The relations between the
United States and Spain are strained
20 their utmost limit, and the slightest
accident may produce a rupture. AS we
cay elsewhere, It is reasonable TO believe
that spain will yield and throw up the
light when the final issue is made. stll
Il Is not safe to count on this, nor would
a be consistent with our national self
respect 90 crowd her because we be-
itved this. nor would Il be the part Of
prudence or craftsmanship TO risk war
upon the probability that Spain would
not fight. IL Is our duty 70 contain our
elves and TO allow the negotiations be-
tween the two countries to proceed in
en- orderly way until either Spain con-
cedes our demands or the final issue is
made between the two countries.
ew can understand body, resolved, as
Congress is, that spanish rule shall come
90 an end IN Cuba, manifesting signs OF
revolt. when it was given out that the
president was going 20 be content with
an arnistico between Spain and the
Cubans until October. But when it be-
came known that the President had not
given his assent 10 any such idea, the
excitement subsidized and the course OF
effairs was allowed to 80 on as before.
This leads us 10 say that we regret
shat Mr. Bailey should have come for
ward with his resolution for acknowledg-
sng tho independence OF Cuba. The sit
uasion was not one 20 justify IT, AS
matters then stood, the President should
have been left alone. He had been dis

arovensy as would make Cuba free, and

A few weeks ago he accosted the young
lady on the public highway between
Blacksburg and this place. but was de-

by citizens also on horseback.
Great ecitement was caused here When

FRIDAY. APRIL ]. 1898,
WIS OR NO. SPAIN MUST ANSWER.

II wero useless TO guess at conclusions.
This much is certain tho administration has
submitted a proposition 10 Spain contem-
planting the independence Of Cuba, and
there Is TO be no lodging Spain is to
say yes or no and on the answer OF
Spain the issue rests.
The President asks that the country
walt until he can receive a reply and
promises that the reply will come not
later than Monday.
That IS the whole situation in nut
shell. and as 10 the result, one mans
opinion IS as good as another.
The consequences will be lamentable
If Spain refuses 90 accept the inevitable
without war. The American people are
under terrible tension and the picture of
the wrecked Maine projected on the
black ground Of starving women and
children makes the task Of peaceable
settlement very difficult at best
1t would be most unfortunate If the
pcople or Congress should withdraw from
the administration at this crisis the con-
hdence which has permitted Mr.. Nc
Kinley and his advisers to conduct the
negotiations with Spain 50 far with so
much dignity and self possession.
II Congress will take proper time for
consideration and the people do not urge
precipitate action, the issue Of this con-
sroversy. whether peace or war, cannot
but increase in the eyes Of every civil
lied nation the honor and majesty Of tho
American people.
In view of the complications surrounding
The Spanish throne and the peculiar char
meter and temperament Of the Spanish
people. It is quite impossible to predict
what desperate course that government
may be compelled to take.
1t Is the influence Of these considerations
which makes any predictions of the
Spanish reply mere guess work.
TO ordinary sensible people It would
reem plain that Spain had better give up
cuba at once without further expenditure
and receive a large sum FOR giving free
dom and independence to the island. than
10 spend money in a hopeless war and
receive nothing for Cuban independence.

M'KINLEY KISSED: LEE CHEERED

Surely we have fallen upon strange lines
In the Harlem Opera House two nights
ago, during the performance one Of the
actors sang a song in which allusion was
made to President Mckinley. When the
Presidents name was mentioned the au-
dience Kissed so furiously, that the words
Of the song thereafter could not be heard.
The following verse praised Consult Cen
eral Lee, and at the mention Of his name
the audience simply rose up and yelled
with enthusiasm.
Such Is the story related by the New
York Sun of yesterday and we have used
almost the exact words. 1t is a wonder
ful thing. to be sure. that northern au-
dience should hiss the name Of the Pres
ident of the United States. a northern man

tion is no longer a respecter Of persons.
