1T Is WAR.

The Presidents message is a fine
pieee Of English composition. The
greater part Of it is strong recital of
the barbaRties practieed by Spain on
Cuba, bat the country was well ac'
auainted with all of these facts before
the President's message was delivered.
But one sentence in the whole message
receives the applause Of the whole
country, viz: 1.-THE wsr in Cubs must
stop" The President tells how
be proposes to stop iris war, he
meets with opposition. He wants 2u-
thority to stop it, and stop it by force.
he does not specify whether he will
compel the spaniards or Cubans to
lay down arms. It is impossible to
say whether or not the Presidents
policy is to wage war against the in
surgen,s or the Spsniards. He merely
asks for the authority and power to
stop the war. He is opposed 10 the
recognition Of the belligelsnt rights OF
the Insurgents, and his recommends
tious are 80 ambiguous that it Is lla-
possible to tell whether he is friend
to ~free Cuba" or not. He refers to
the destruction of the Maine as an
incident of tie intelerable conditions
in Cuba, apo We lieve that 3 great
maierity of the American people con-
slider the Maine disaster our strong
ground for declaration ofwac against
Spain. They believe that, instead Of
making it an ssincident Of 'sthe intolera'
Bile conditions" it should be brought
prominently to the front. The failure

f his conduct in Conduct: but in

of his conduct in Conduct; out in
holding him up to the scorn OF history
we should not forget that his plans for
the subjugstion Of Cuba were fashioned
upon the models furnished by our
own Sherman and Sheridan. We do
not justify him on this grourd-we
simply say that those of our country
men who worshipped Sherman aud
Sheridan cannot fairly regard the inno-
cent Weyler-innocent only by COM
parison--ss a iend iuearnate. We pity
the Cubans in their distress, but they
have something to be thankful for in
that the atrocities of Wsyler were but
the bungling work Of a Spanish J.
tator, and no: the finished product OF
true American experts.

THE SHERMAN OF CUBA.
N.ws and Courier.


Some days ago the New York Even
ing Post said that the methods Of Wey
Ter in Cuba were not more crimina
than the methods of warfare adopted
by Sherman in Georgia and by Sheri
dan in the Shenandoah Valley. In s
later article the Post suggested that
possibly the battleship Maine was
blown up by the Cuban patriots, and
in still another article, asking "What
are we to fight for?' the Post szid:
ssThe explosion of the Maine is s
third cause assigned for war. Some
Senators and Representatives say that
we should fight Spain because one Of
our war vessels met with destruction
in the harbor of Havana. That is
simply to say that one of TWO parties
to controversy is to decide it ahEo-
lutely, and enforce bis conclusion upon
the other. Everybody would recog'
1ize the outrageous injustice of this
course between two individuals, Gnd
it would be equally unreasonable and
indefensible between two nations. All
that we have now is ths' reeult Of a
secret, e1 psrts investigs: By men
who have the strongest possible mo-
lives to exculpate the officers Of an
American vessel, their verdict being
that the ship was destroyed by SUD-
marine mine, but that mo evidence
had been obtainable fixing the respon-
sipility for the destruction Of the
Maine upon any person or persons.
These several statements of the
miserable old &agwum2 Post lave
given great offenco to some of the
jiDgo newspapers and politicians. The
New York Sun, for example. de-
nounces the Posts comparison Of HeY-
Ter to Sherman and Sheridan az an
Insult s'to the army Of the United
States" and characterizea the Posts
statement about the destruction of the
Maine IS can insult to the American

editor of the Post, sis a worse ensmy

it is not fair or just to ask thst "one
of two parties to controversy is 10
decide it absolutely, and enforce his
conclusion upon the other" That was
all, and even If Godkin is disgrace
to his country, which we DO not feel
called upon to deny, and does admire
Weyler, as he possibly does in view OF
his aduirstion Of Weyler's studies in
the American art of war, this does not
