Here, Too.

And now the editor of the Butte,
(Mont.) Times has been arrested for
sending violent and obscene matter
through the mails during the late
campaign.
This very point occurred to the
JOURNAL on several occasions during
the year concerning several issues of
the Forum.
The JOURNAL believed then and be-
ieves now that they were not legally
mailable.
Without alleging "obscenity," much
OF the matter was 'violent" enough
for the government to step in and de-
cline to become its carrier.

A letter. addressed "Mr. Santa

the JOURNAL. 1t is a claim upon the
bounty of the patron saint of little

Washington, April 7.-Swift as can
mons flash changed the Cuban situa-
ton yesterday. The galleries of con-
gress were crowded, senators and rep
resentatives were anxious and agitated
and even the diplomatic corps was in a
ferment awaiting message from the
president that might mean war, when,
with excitement at the very highest
like an electric flash, the word passed
that there would be no message. Its
suddenness stunned the public, which
heard the news in distorted forms, and
amazed veteran members of congress-
Ultimately it became known that there
would be no message this week, and
that it was at least a possibility that
the message written and approved
might never go to congress at all.
The first reason for the delay was
that the administration received ad-
vices from General Lee, at Havana, in
dicating that all Americans could not
be gotten off the island at once and
would be in grave peril if the message
preceded their departure. The second

BRYAN for Intervention.

William J. Bryan on April 1st made the
following statement for the Associated
Press in answer to the question whether in
his Judgment the time had arrived for the
United States to intervene in behalf of
Cuba and bring the war to an end -
Yes, the time for intervention has ar
rived Humanity demands that we shall
act Cuba lies almost within sight of our
shores, and the sufferings of her people
cannot be ignored unless we, as nation,
have become so engrossed in money max
ing as to be Indifferent to distress Inter
vention may bo accompanied by danger
and expense, but existence cannot be
separated from responsibility, and resp0n
sibility some times leads nation as well
as an individual into danger. A neighbor
must sometimes incur danger for a neigh
Dor aud a friend for a friend. War is q
terrible thing and can not be defended ex-
cept as q means to an end, and yet it is
sometimes the only means by which
necessary end can be secured. The State
Furnishes it's own citizens by imprisonment
or even death when counsel and persuasion
fail. War is the final arbiter betweea
nations when reason and diplomacy are of
no avail. Spain might not resist interven-
ton; it is to he hoped that she would
recognize the right of the United States TO
act and Immediately withdraw from Cuba,
but, whether she resei is intervention or
not, the United States must perform plain
duty. Spain has only herself to blame for
the condition of affairs in Cuba. If she
denies to her former subjects the rights of
war and calls the Cuban army a mob. let

What means all this foolish talk by
Secretary Long to the effect that, in buy
ing foreign warships and other material.
the money will go about twice as far If
they are admitted free of duty Doesn't

100 per cent duty, would not such being
the case, the importation of $4,000 000
worth of ships and material put s. 000, 900

out of the Golfers Of the foreigners. thus
really enabling Uncle Sam to get his war
supplies for nothing The conclusion is
Inexoraele from the premises.

every $5,000,000 purchase. the : foreigner

only get his warships for nothing but
would rake in $5,000,000 in clean cash be-
side This unpatrIOtIc scheme to relieve
the foreigners from taxation should be-
visited with the severest condemnation
If the protection theory be sound, there
is no reason in the world why the for
e1gners should not be forced to pay all the
taxes for the support Of the Federal Gov.
eminent In recommending the remission
of tariff taxes on warships and other
material, Secretary Long shows that some
enemy of the McKinIy system of e external
taxation" has iDsidiously indoctrinated
him with the rank and pernicious heresies
of free trade-oEe of which is that the
home buyer, not the foreign seller, always
pays the tariff taxes.

The manifestations of patriotic indigna-
tion all over the country during the present
week at bis recent course on the Cuban
question must have convinced President
Mckinley that he is not the master but
tue servant of the people. The intensity
of the feeling at Washington is thus por-
trayed by friendly correspondent
The capital city of the nation Tuesday
night last was like convention town when
an adjournment has been taken between
ballots. It has smashed its idol. The
idol was William McKinles. Listening to
the crowds in the hotel corridors, in the
streets and at the theatres one could scarce
" convince ones self that he was not
dreaming. The Mckinley who was being
denounced was the same Mckinley who
only two weeks and q half ago stood on q
pinnacle, with a solid vote of Congress to
sustain him, and over $4,000 900 thrown
at his feet without conditions. What was
the matterp Were we becoming as volatile
and tickle as the French, to be tossed this
way and that? Would the next step be the
putting up barricades in the streets Were
we growing as excited as the Austrians
over the question of language in schools,
and would the cavalry from Fort Myer be
riding us down 1t seems strange that
from admiration to denunciation had been
such short step, yet the people of Wash
ington last night-Senators. Congressman,
Government clerks, car drivers lobbyists,
contractors. camp followers. and even level
headed and respectable men-were ready
to go up to the White House and ask Nc

General Lee did not come. There is
great excitement here. Every state

Intense disappointment was exhib-

read the dispatch with eager interest,
after which it was read at the messes.
He believes that there is still chance
that the American navy may have an
opportunity to show what it is made
of, but he regrets the delay, which
will probably enable Spain to bring her

these waters. All the high naval au-

should not be allowed to bring her
forces over pending settlement

Madrid, April THE official state
ment that affairs have taken a pacific
turn has not yet become generally
known, and public opinion remains
much excited. The bourse has de-
clined heavily, owing to the belief that
there is dissension in the cabinet
which, however, the ministerial sup

ing stronger. 1t is reported that the
basis of an armistice in Cuba have been
arranged. If this be true a royal de-
cree will appear in The Gazette today
or tomorrow announcing the conclu-
sion of an armistice.
The Madrid correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph telegraphs his
paper: 81 am able to assert that in
the opinion of more than one European
government, peaceable settlement on
the basis of Spanish concessions could
easily be secured if little time were
allowed for reflection and discussion,
but the rapidity of events at Washing
ton is the most dangerous element of the
situation. It is questionable whether the
Cubans are ripe for independence"
