M'KINLEY FELL. !. DOWN
That is the Verdict on the
Cuban Question.
MUST LOOK TO CONGRESS
Presidents Position In the Crisis Generally
Denounced In This City by Republic
cans and Democrats, Who Want
Freedom for Cuba.

Until yesterday President McKin-
ley's Cuban policy was unanimously en-
dorsed by the public, but his last move
has been denounced as weak and lack
ing the true American spirit
So long as the President stood firm
and pursued vigorous policy he had
every Ans rican at his back. Party
lines We're wiped out and sections were
forgotten: the people had united to
wrench from the band Of tyranny a
long-suffering people and give to them
the ENJOYING Mt of sels-govegnment. Not
only does this nation syHfpathize with
the struggling Cubans. but i'm, the bosom
OF every American there wran mikes a r.
vengeful spirit for the destruction of
the battleshbp Main--. and the wholesale
Slaughter of American ks4amen This
was thought to be sufficient casus
heili. and the people wanted to hear the
eagle scream.
Said q well Known gentleman to a re-
porter for the Daily Press yesterday:
Il have admired President Mckinley
for the course he has pursued since this
trouble began, but l must say he fell
down at the critical moment. The eyes
os the world Gre upon US. and VIZ. have
the right on our side. 1t is time for us
to act!
What is the result Of McKinleys de-
mands?
II! is simply this: Spain grants us
PERMISSION to feed her starving subjects
ioi Il ptElpO OIL SIX months.
Great diplomacy! Ye gods!
We don't want to feed the Cubans.
what we want is 10 plant the Stars and
stripes on the island and let the Cubans
feed themselves by the sweat Of their
.hrows. Free Cuba and Cuba will take
care or herself. That's what we want
ara mat s all we will be satisfied with"
Those who are more conseI vative and
are hopeful that war may he avr. rt ed
oonorab bly, do not approve Of the Pres
ident's policy. They arr no, in favor of
an armlstice to last six months. If the
rll,e "a, states IS ever to Interfere they
lold that now is the time to recognize
me independence of Cuba
am not an ardent admirer of thu.
tFeSliemt said une gentleman. but l
| believe he is conducting this affair in a
stateSmanlike manner: in other words
the President knows what he is doing
and when the time comes he will act.
Mr. Mckinley is k eplng coil and he has
his eyes wide open. and I think Con
sress should stand by him. for he has
some deep laid plan. We do not want
TO rush into war unprep&red believe
the President realizes that Uncle sam
IS not ready for conflict. Let us not
denounce the President while excite
ntnt is running high"

for one cent. You can get "a
candle power for five feet of
gas properly burned in a good
burner. This makes you a
first-class light Of "a candle
power for tive-siNths cents per
hour, Or light equal to an
average electric light for
about ! sent per hour. Again,
take an improved Welsback

Just think, All so candle pow

Ponder this over. 1t is the

agent known. If you are not
convinced, call at the Gas Or
flee. 2713 Washington avenue,
and we will prove it to you.
AS to cooking. gas at 81 per
thousand is not half as ex-
pensive as coal at $3.50 per
ton, or wood even at the pres
ent prices. Coal oil and gaso-
line are not to be mentioned
in the same week as gas for

ga Minister of the World.v

"A Minister of the World" is a story
by Caroline Atwater Mason, withou.
either color or form. If we remember
rightly 1t appeared some time ago in
monthly paper that reaches a vast
number Of homes and is noted for the
inrocuous character of its serials. We
recognize "a Minister of the World" as
belonging to the Mellins Food variety
OF literature, and as such we acnnowl-
edge it's far-reaching influence and
await with certainty the testimonials
it will receive.
1t is not bad story. but then neither
is it good one, though it's hero is
minister and it's heroines belong to the
class of young women who fall in love
with ministers on principle and usually
in focks.
Stephen Castle is a young divine
whose lot is cast in a small town where
his influence is great. Persuaded to
transfer his powers to the uplifting Of
a city parish he finds himself dragged
down by the very influences he scorned.
He loses faith in himself and his work
among the rich and turns his attention
to the slums, and finally takes from
out his rather large following OF
maidens the one best adapted to carry
iEg on his chosen work. There Is moth
ing particularly moral about the plot
and there is nothing particularly con-
vincing about the handling of it. 1t is
