III Means War.
NO DEFENSE FOR N'KINLEY,

/ Presidents Supporters Listen TO SenE-
tor CockrelI Arraign HIS Course.
! Washington, d. c., April 19.-Sen'
ator Cockrell attacked the policy Of
the president in scathing terms on
the floor of the senate to day. His
remarks were provoked by a state
ment made by Senator Hale to the
effect that congress had not acted
with proper respect to the presi.
dents wishes. Senator Cockrell an
alyzed the message OF the president
and attacked him severely for his
policy of Implicitly which has been
manifested by his action during the
Spanish crisis.
None of the presidents support
ers made any attempt to defend bis
course.
Senator Cockrell's attack On the
administration precipitsted lengthy
debate between party leaders. There
were many sharp controversies be-
tween the independence aud anti.
independence factions and finally
the debate became so complicated
that there was considerable disagree
ment among the republicans. Many
of the latter made lengthy speeches
attempting to justify their position
on the vote taken last night.
Senator Cockrell sturdlly held his
ground and maintained by the state
ments of the republican senators
themselves that they had bsen co.
creed in a questionable manner.

The greed of gain, hyena-like, fol-
lows in the wake of the FIRE of pa
triotitm which is blazing the way to
war with Spain. First we hear of
immense coal contracts awarded to
HaDna, Elkins & Co., at one dollar
per ten more than market price.
Now comes the mule buyers of ST..
Louis and Kansas City, who control
the markets of the west On that use
full animal, and form a trust raising
the price 25 FER cent to the govern
msnt. The commissary department
will be assailed by these human
hyenas all along the line, and private
fortunes made, where patriotism
would dictate should be public gain
But this is one of the prices a nation
has to pay for the privilege of vindi-
eating it's honor and defending the
lives and property of it's citizens in
foreign countries. It is a great pity
that law can not be made to cover
the case and give such sharks their
just deserts.

OF 1900

OF 1900.
Washington, d. c., April 14.-In
the house yesterday Dir. Hartman of
Montana furnished amusem ent for
the democrats and populists by
reading a sarcastic "foreeas:" of
what he claimed would be the rspub.
lican national platform in 1900 Some
of his "forecast" is as foilowf:
We cordially ipdorse the admins
tration of our great leader, Marcus
Aurelius Hanna, President de facto
of the republic, which has so sacred
ly kept faith with the trusts and
corporations by generously rtimburf-
ing them with legislative and e1ecu
tive f4vors for the enormous sums
so literally and periodically contrib
uted by them to the republican
party in the campaign OF 1896 to
"preserve the honor and integrity
Of the nation"
We heartily commend the repub-
lican national convention, which met
at st. Louis in 1896, in declining to
condemn or eriticise trusts, and we
hereby declare it to lie the present
and future policy Of the republican
party to foster and encourage trusts
to the end that further and greater
contributions may be secured with
which to enable Us TO "purify the
ballot and "preserve the honor and
integrity of the nation"
The republican party is unreserr
eddy fer "sound money" We said
so in 1866, but most Of us did not
know what We meant by it then But
the bondholders, creditors and bank
ere, who know all about the science ef
money, have told US that we meant
the gold standard, greenback retire
ment and bank issue and control of
paper money.
In unmeasured terms We express
our utter detestation and disgust
with the rspu blican national conven-
tions of 1888 and 1892 for the wild.

listic, socialistic, communistic Ian

is supposed by some i'll informed |
people to be presidsnt Of the United |
States, was chairman OF the platform
committee OF the convention OF 1888 |
and permanent chairman Of the coa-
vention OF 1892, and We do not de-
sire 70 seriously embarrass him. We
further declare that the republican
party haz not changed it's platform

The ultimatum of the United States
to Spain will be sent to Madrid
to morrow morning. It will name
6 o'clock Friday night as the time at
which the United States will expect
a reply. The Hltimatum consists of
the resolutions adopted by congress
this morning together with brief
memorandum stating that congress
has acted and has placed the author
ity in the presidents hands to use
the navy and army of the United
States to enforce the terms OF the
resolution, unless Spain chooses to
make that unnecessary by peaceful
compliance with the demands con-
tanned therein.
It was originally intended to re
quire an answer from Spain to our
ultimatum by 6 o'clock Thursday
night, but it was agreed to give the
Madrid government two full days in
which to consider our demands and
as the ultimatum will not reach Gen.
eral Woodford in time for him to
lay it before the Spanish cabinet
until tomorrow night Madrid time),
the hour at which the reply must be
made was postponed until Friday.
