treated worse by this country
than Weyler treated the Gu
bans, they say. tits sad, and l
sympathize with those who
suffered. But what was there
to prevent anyone foreseeing
how it would pan out? The

I know it's the fashion to sing

how you feel. And how won
derfully the dailies of all shades
of politics twisted themselves
into corkscrews hurrahing for
war, while some were villify-
ing the political party in pow

New York Journal, the circula-.
ton of which, throught the.
war, has passed the million
mark; its pages are still smear
ed with soldier talk, as a horse
paper is with horse. It fairly
wallows in the muck of the:
camps. It is frantic for expan-
sion, while roasting the imper-
ialists, and would favor the an
nexation of the whole tarantu1a

tarantulas could SUBSCRIBE!
Now we have a big war of
words at home, and first thing
we know. the people will be
fighting among themselves
about whether Alger, Mckinley

last war when we starved. our

ing Spaniards; but we must be
ready for the next, they tell us.

DULUTH Nd SUPERIOR,
Rockefeller's ore trains are
running all day Sundays to
prepare for the demand for
armor plate which the fore
taste Of war, it was intended,
shall create.
Before this up-to-date war
began, the people who were the
first to sicken of it wanted to
mob that element of our popu-
lation who talked mildly in fa-
vor of neutrality. It did no
good to show them figures OF
the war of the rebellion. 1t did
no good to quote Gen. Grant,
whose greatest utterance was:
LET us have peace" 1t did no
good to cite James Russell
Lowell, who said: "War is
murder" 1t did no good to in
woke the shade of w. T. Sher-
man, who said: "War is hell"
The war spirit had been cult
waited ever since the Pittsburg
strikes, in 1877, and the occas-
ional slaughter of a squad of
unarmed laboring men had not
been enough to satisfy the
thirst for blood. The humane
societies expostulated in vain.
"Let us abolish the whipping
post and the. stocks in Dela-
ware said they; "lets. us cease
to auction off white and black
convicts, in Florida; let us end
the practice Of burning offend
ers at the stake, without trial,
in our Spanish-Anerican Gulf
States; let us stop white-cap-.
ping, lynching, incendiarism,
bank wrecking and suicide at
home, before going abroad to
civilize the bull fighters; aye,
even let us take a reef in the
dear; delightful game Of foot
ball, that hair-brained fetish
of our dude-d -deteriorated univer-
sities!" x
And the socialists Clipped in:
"Liberate Cuba?" said. they.
"Liberate the United States
first! Throw open our doors
and let the Cubans come here,
if they prefer Mark Hanna,
Carnegie and Rockefeller to
Gen. Weyler! That is the ut
most that we can do, in the
name OF Justice, at present.
Let the brave Cubans come
here, where votes may yet be
substituted for machetes! They
should make good socialists,
those starved and mangled Gu
bans! They have the courage.
of their convictions, and many
of our own people may learn.
from them what the spirit of
independence is! If Spain
should be whipped, who will
get the spoils? Not the Cubans.
Syndicates! Syndicates made
up of men like Alger, and like
Whitelaw Reid (of the peace
commission) who believes we
want a king!" And the result
shows that the socialists were
correct. p
If the Spaniards can excuse
their atrocities on the ground
that it has been the policy Of
their government to keep them
in ignorance, what apology
have the American people for
voting the Alger crowd into
power? Haven't we public
schoo1s? Can't we read?
Haven't we newspapers, like
the Labor World, and naga-
zines like the New Time. to
"put us on?"

The goldbugs care not for
the millions who are out of en-

so much time to read and pom

Ohio Legislature, all they need
is a bare majority. Keep those
who are employed and the
small business men busy hust-

and the intimidated farmers
tipped the scale for Mark
Hanna's crowd at the last cleo
ton. Since then many small
business men and small far
mers have been forced into the
reform ranks. But annexation
of foreign territory will keep
up the balance of power. The
Cinnamon and the wild tribes
of the Philippines can be en-
franchised and voted in droves.
It is the last hope, and it recalls
the expansion policy of Napo-
