The President and Congress.

Every hour of to day is freighted
with words aud weighty with deeds
of tremendous import. The crisis is
upon US The future looms immi-
nent, holding behind its veil, about
to be withdrawn, the revelation of
peace or war And behind that al
tentative there is known to be one
certainty-the freedom of Cuba

thrown their shadows of doubt and
gloom over the perplexed and angry
nation. President Mckinley stands
calm. but active, figure heroic, not
a statue, but living, moving, saga
cious statesman His far seeing eye
not only commands the day aud the
hour, but peuetrates the months and
the years to come He realizes that
his responsibility is not only of to-
day, but of many to-n,orrows With
comprehension as wide as it is keen,
he waivesi the passions Of the mo-
ment and he measures. with long
perspective, the coming position aud
obligations in history of the nation
TO whose honor and veal be ls the
consecrated servant. With cables
pnlsing every moment between the
shores of the United States and Spain,
with a Congress and q people indig-

with the words of his friend, the i'm
petuous Mason. "there can be no
peace while Europeans own and
butcher their slaves on the same con

hysterical newspapers publishing in
fammatory misinformation, the Pres
ident maintains mistaken his firm
purpose to restore permanent peace
in Cuba and to avert, if the stupidity
of Spain will permit, sbe calamity of

Let no one imagine. in these hours
of excitement. that the President is
striving for any peace that is not sane
tilted with honor. Let every one
remember our strength and greatness
and recall the wisdom of continued
dignity and forbearance toward
rotten monarchy fast moving to Its
doom and nation condemned by its
