MR.. CLEVELAND SPEAKS.

Mr.. Cleveland was to have spoken
in Chicago on the 23d instant, when
it was expected that he would deliver
an address on the issues of the day,
giving particular attention to the
currency question. But he will not
deliver his address. He has sent a
telegram to the Iroquois club asking a
postponement of the banquet until
after the present war disturbances
shall have subsidized. The reason he
assigns for requesting a postponement
is that he does not believe in partisan
political discussion at a time when the
nation is engaged in serious interna-
tional difficulties.
Mr. Cleveland's attitude on this
matter will generally be commended,
though we doubt very much if any
thing he might have said would have
received any more than the most per-
functory notice, unless he should have
plunged into a discussion of the Cuban
question and been pronounced for
peace or war. In that event his words
would have attracted more attention
than those of any other American citi-
zen. But it makes no difference
whether anything Mr.. Cleveland might
have said would have had a tendency
to accentuate party differences or not,
and so in a measure divide the people;
the sentiment that prompted him to
request a postponement of the ban
quet was an eminently proper one.
At this time every political question
is subordinated to the question
whether we are going to have war
with Spain.
Until that is settled the people will
give small heed to any other, no mat
ter how important it may be in itself.
Today the people will listen TO any
thing that tends to make the country
more united, but they do not care to
listen to anything that has not di-
rect tendency to unity.

Henry Watterson, commenting on
the presidents message, says: 'Ev-
cry word of praise of the presidents
message from European sources is a
stab at the honor of America. We
have no friends in Europe. To the
extent that the president seeks
European applause he is false to his
own country. Mr.. Mckinley knows
little of the world across the sea. If
he did, he would dismiss at its proper
worth the opinions even of the Eng
lish and German press. knowing the
press of Paris to be the merest crea-
ture of purchase. There is not a gov
eminent in Europe which does not
dread the power of the United States,
which does not detest the people of
the United States. The whole warp
as we are concerned, is hostility to
us. The undercurrent of popular feel
ing. where it is not hostile, is con-
temptuous. To be sure, the American
tourist is largely at fault. But pack
of the American tourist stands the
American republic, perpetual peril
to monarchy; whilst the resident
Americans abroad constantly mis-
represent us to such European society
as they are able to enter We should
eliminate European opinion altogether
Republicanism, like charity. should
begin and end at home. To submit
the Maine disaster to European arbi-
tration is in advance to invite de-
cision against us"

An Ohio scorcher having run down
and killed an Ohio editor, the class TO
which the infuriate wheelman belongs
comes in for renewed local animad-
version, which it well deserves, says
the New York Tribune. In Gloucester,
England, recently, it was declared that
there would be no relief from the
crowd of bicyclers making city and
suburban avenues almost impossible,
till one of them had killed bishop.
But perhaps merely destroying an edi-
tor may work some relief in Ohio. sub
DUNG the impetuosity of the local
scorcher and teaching him the lesson
of his obligations to his fellow man.
The worst of them would not like to
earn the epitaph suggested by Dean
Stanley for the Hon. Bob Lowe:
His heart was cold as an icicle,
And he killed a man with a bicycle.

1.-The Register viii say that it breads
war" says the Des Moines Register.
THE editor of this paper spent nearly
four years in the army. He knows what
it is to go TO war. He wants the young
rpen of this generation to be spared
the necessity of offering their lives
That is why the Register has upheld
the president throughout this long con-
troversy. War must come only as q
last resort. That last resort now seems
at hand. We regret it, we still pray
that it may not come, but if it does
come, let there be no mistake about
the size or the nature of the blows we
can and VIII strike
