WHAT THEN?

Without voicing regret that congress
and independence of the provisional gov
ernment of the insurgents, no harm can
come from a contemplation of possible
eventualities, based upon the assumption
that war with Spain shall follow the
official announcement Of the action of the
American congress. The declaration
finally agreed upon is, in broad terms,
patriotic. disnterested humane. 1t is
pose. But, after all, the ultimate results
depend wholly upon the fidelity with
which the president uses the discretion
that has been placed in his hands, the
good faith with which he will enter upon
the discharge Of the trust, the vigor of
his action, and the wisdom of his man
agement of the case. 1t Is now wholly
in his hands, as commander in chief of
the army and navy of the United States,
charged not only with the expulsion of a
foreign power from the island of Cuba,
but with the pacification of its people
after that power shall have been ex-
peled for the refusal of congress to ac-
knowledge the existence there of an or
derly and decorous government presup-
poses the necessity that will arise for
subsequent pacificatory measures.
Assuming that the Spaniards are
speedily expelled from the sland-what
then? The United States is for the time
being the supreme authority on the
island. Its sovereignty will extend to
every part of it. 1t will, to all intents and
purposes, be annexed to the United
States. If the president, in his wisdom,
shall at once direct that popular cleo
ton be held with the view Of taking the
sense Of the people as to whether they are
satisfied with the provisional govern
ment established by the insurgents, or
whether they desire another form of gov
ernment, and the result of that election
uninfluenced by the civil or military rep
resentatives of the United States. shall
be to sustain the provisional govern
ment-what then?
VIII the president be satisfied with
that expression of the popular will, at
once withdraw the federal troops from
the island, and hand it over to the local
government?
The constitution of that government is
limited in duration to the time when
the Spaniards shall be expelled from the
island. The re-enactment of the present
constitution, or the drafting of another,

THE LONG ROLL

The diplomats Of two continents de-
clare that the signing of the joint resolu-
tions by the president will constitute an
act of war.
The opinion is held in European courts
that Spain will not wait for further
communications from the United States
after being officially notified Of the ac.
ton Of the executive.
1t is understood that the resolutions
and ultimatum will be signed this morn
Ing, and telegraphed to Spain, with a
demand for an immediate response.
The federal navy is in position, and the
army is being rapidly modified on tbs
Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
A call for $4,000 volunteers has beer
prepared, and will be promulgated i'm
mediately upon the declaration of war
or the breaking out of hostilities.

SECONDED BY MR.. THIRDS

The present situation, no matter from
what view,
Amt very satisfying to either me or you.
The lower house, "cavortin' " and tearing
up the dirt,
And the argufying senate that waves the
bloody shirt,
But we don't get down to fighting, the
which we ought to do,
So I say the situation don't look right to
me or you.
Let's stop this chin, chin, Ginning and dc
the fighting act,
For that's what's surely coming, you can
bet that that's fact.
So the sooner we commence 1t the sooner
Wen get through,
And things IL be more cheerful and look
right to me and you.

CALLED DOWN AGAIN

yellow journalism in San Francisco
has received another rebuke. The Call of
Monday says:
General Shafter has done well to fol-
low the suggestion made in the Call
yesterday, and so order the arrange
ments made for the departure of the
troops from the Preside as to permit
them to march through the city on their
way to the front The people desire at
this iuncture to salute the army and
the flag. They desire to bid Godspeed
to the boys in blue and cheer them
with an outburst of patriotic voices
as they bear old glory to the front,
where battle waits and honor and JUS
tce call.
That was fine to be sure, albeit a bit
croupy and hysterical. But General
Miles spoiled it all. The story goes that
General Schafer wired General Miles, ask
ing permission to march his men down
Market street to the ferry, and that, he
got the following answer:
This is no picnic; take your men to
Oakland by the most direct route.
Probably General Miles did not know
that the suggestion came from the Call,
or he would not have had the temerity
to make the reply he did. The Call hav-
ing undertaken to run the affairs Of
Los Angeles and San Jose and made ali
awful mess of the job, has had no better
luck in it's efforts to conduct the affairs
of the regular army. 1t will have to

THE PRESIDENTS DUTY

During the past four weeks there have
been numerous appeals, some of them
more or less frantic and hysterical In
character, to "stand by the president"
Congress and the people have stood

had his way in the letter IL not In the
spirit. Both the friends of the admins
tration and those opposed to it's Cuban
policy have made concessions. The issue
is Joined and the did ii cast.
1t now remains for the president to
stand by the people. The policy Of wob-
BILE and vacillation will not be toler-
ated further by a people whose patiencR
has already been tried almost beyond the
point of endurance.
The president, In his message to con-
gress. virtually pledged himself to act
along such lines as should be indicated
by the resolutions adopted by that body.
Should he not fulfill that pledge he will
have proved himself unfit to occupy the
chair honored by Washington, Lincoln.

NOW ARE WE ALL DANES

In the only way possible under our
form of government, and by more or
less leal Difference to the genius Of our
institutions, a great national question,
. upon which men honestly differed, has
been determined to the measurable sat
isfaction of all patriotic people. Every
consideration of the national welfare die
tated a speedy concurrence in some plan
for maintaining the dignity and the
honor and the pride of the republic, and
for the vindication of the enlightened
and humane impulses of its people. 1t
was reached after memorable struggle,
not less bitter and acrimonious than
might have been expected under the cir
cumstances, but relieved by sponta-
neity Of patriotic enthusiasm we'll cal
culated to warm the cookies of loyal
hearts everywhere. The achievement
came in the only possible way, by the
only feasible route, through mutual con-
cession and compromise. Since the
foundation of the government all of the
great problems that have confronted US
as natlOn nave Deen determined IN thai
way. All the great problems of the
future must be submitted to the same
process. 1t is the antithesls of the one
man power. 1t must be regarded as tn :
composite judgment of seventy millions
of people. 1t is accepted as the law and
the gospel. Every loyal citizen must
now say: "This is my will"
In his great speech on the Cancellation
of America, Burke declared that "all
government-indeed every human bene-
fit and enjoyment, every virtue and every
prudent act--is founded on compromise
and barter" The closest analysis of this
proposition will scarcely disclose a vul-
nerable point.
The only element in peoples parlia-
ment of more than four hundred souls
which has yielded nothing and gained
nothing in the struggle is the peace party
contingent, composed of men who, how
ever sincere their convictions, may truly
be said to be without constituency, for il
is self-evdent that no congressional dis
trict in the United States would today

A WISE MOVE

The Fiesta committee wisely decided
last night to postpone the annual cele-
bration which was arranged to take place
the week after next. AS pointed out
In yesterdays Herald. as long as we are
facing such a grave national crisis,
which is hourly expected to plunge the
country into war. such festivities would
be ill-timed. The committees action will
meet with general approval and will be
relief even to those who were most
looking forward to the event. La Fiesta
will lose none of its lustre by this post
ponement. With peace once more as
sured, the celebration may in due season
reflect the glories of national triumph.
