ENGLISH SYMPATHY
Displayed in Favor of the United
States on Her Contention With Spain

Copyright by Associated Press.)
London, April 9.-If anything was
wanting to confirm the European be
lief that the Cuban crisis has reached
an impasse from which there is no is
sue but war, or the hauling down Of the
Spanish flag, it has been found in
President McKinley's reply to the am
bassadorial note, presented at Wash
ington on Thursday last, so stri1ingly
reasserting the determination that
here is only one way TO prevent the
United States intervening to end the
ntOlerable situation.
As a matter of fact, Nd confirmation
was wanted, for Europe'S only real
hope of a peaceful solution of the Ques
ton was based on the belief that when
they realized the futility of the high
strung talk about their honor, the
Spaniards will accept the alternative
and surrender. Great Britain has moth
ing to thank Spain for. Whenever
commercial questions have been raised
Great Gritian has found Spain obStruct-
i've, intractable and arbitrary, as the
United States finds her today; and the
medium of sympathy found in some
quarters is simply a sort of sentiment
tai pity at the fact that Spain should
One of the few discordant notes in the
paeon of sympathy with the aims of
the United States comes from a quar-
ter it was least expected from. The
Freeman's Journal, the organ OF the
Irish national leader, Mr.. John Dillon,
a paper claiming to represent the Irish
party after fiat foOtedly expressing the
hope that Spain will win in the expect
ed war, says: In our opinion, the
low
ed helping Spain to make autonomy a
success, rather than in forcing a de-
plorable war. The latest advices show
the Americans do not want to deliver
Cuba to the Cubans."
The Irish independent league has
protested against this pro-Spanish de-
claration and has passed a resolution
of sympathy with the United States,
repudiating the declaration of The
Freeman's Journal.
During the course of a conversation,
a high official of the British foreign
Office said: 1.-The presidents policy is
statesmanSlike and essentially hu-
name, and while We may view appre-
hensively the ultimate results to Amer
lea herself of the necessity for intro
ducing order in the government OF
Cuba. the solution of insufferable scan
dal will not ibe too dearly purchased at
the cost OF war. Inc nndlehlceul IuIe
of Spain in Cuba has got to end now,
for neither America nor any one else
will trust her promises, SO often broken,
especially after the tell-tale CORE
spondence which resulted in the recall
of Senior Dupuy de LONE. 'Neverthe-
less" added the foreign office official
america has taken UP an unenviable
task. After driving out the Spaniards
she will nave to send troops to crush
the Culbans who are rebels at heart,
and who will not submit tamely to any
form of government which will deprive
them of their occupation of fighting..

him of dishonesty. Belts ordered him

his captain instructed him TO delay the

When socialism is suggested sapos-
ible remedy for existing ills, some peo-
pie get very much excited and ex-
claim that socialism is visionary and
impractical, and as evidence Of this
they claim that it has proven a fail
urc. Failure! Then is failure to be
taken as evidence that it is visionary?
Well, whatcan be thought about com
petition when every year in the United
States we have more than 10000
failures under the present system. If
socialism is visionary then competi-
ton is at least 1000 times more so.
If socialists chase rainbows as is often
said, then competitors must be chas-
ing films Of light in regions ETHEREAL.
Competitors would best not say much
about rainbows, shadows, clouds, etc,
especially when a socialist is in hear
ing distance.

Cooperation, an Oasis,

Through some good and thoughtful
friend, a sample copy of your most
excellent paper comes to me, like a
rich'oasis in this eastern desert OF cor
upton and capitalism.
The recent elections demonstrate
with awful eXactness and certainty,
the power of concentrated money and
capital, when the mass Of voters are
SO utterly dependent;-more depend
ent, really, than were the negro chat
tells half a century ago.
The time will come, however, when
the people will prove stronger than
plutocracy.
To pave the way for, and usher in
that glorious day, is the work of the
Socialists The responsibility is COM
mensurate with the scope and grand
eur of the work.
Last year we cast the first socialist
vote in this "old historic anti-slavery
town; ''-the count gave us 49, This
year we polled 80 for head of ticket

Those wise and noble rulers of ours
tell us that all our troubles were
caused by over production, and they
tell us that we, the common people,
are the especial objects of their care,
and then they begin to boast that
machinery is startiug up all over the
country, and they grow grandly elo-
quent while debating upon the abund-
ant crops.
Don't it seem a little inconsistent
that so long as we are the objects of
their care and solicitude, they should
bring upon us all the woes of the
damned by another over-production?

The Southern Rurahsts has spasm,

it out will come from the country.

When we condemn present social re-
lations, some of our good people get
excited and shout that ours is the
greatest, grandest and freest country
on earth. Granted, and then what?
Does that prove that we have reached
a state of perfection? If not, then do
you approve of murder, theft and ar
son?
No No, of course you do not, but
then we have murder and other forms
of crime and you seem to approve of
the adoption Of some means to eradi-
cate them, but if the fact that
this is a great, grand and free country
is to shut off reforms in the produc-
ton and distribution of wealth, why
not allow the same fact to be bar to
Improvement in ali directions?
If murder is an evil, let us apply a
remedy and then our country will be
still grander and better, andtif power
