RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOR-
RORS OLE WAR.

We lament more than ever. that every
member. Of Congress who voted for the
present war Is not with our troops in
Cuba and on the picket line. II these pre-
clous "humanitarians' had known that
they would have TO undergo the dangers
and the priyahons and the sufferings
which they so gaily and cheerfuliy voted
for others, their enthusiasm for the flag
and their devotion 10 the Cubans. would
have been considerably moderated. There
is not drop OF blood OF an American
soldier shed I'm this war which IS not on
the hands OF the men who brought II
about. There IS not an eye glazing IN
death that should not be turned reproach-
fully upon the reckless demagogues VINO
voted for war because they desired not
10 vindicate the honor Of this country,
but believe 1t was necessary TO keep their
seats in Congress.
And no comes o special horror one
which neither side had 10 endure I'm the
war between the states. Hunger was felt
AZ yicksburg and Port Hudson and else
where. but never hopeless thirst-the
most agonizlng Of all suffering. Our gem
erals have felt called upon TO cut the
water pipes which supply the town Of
Santiago with that essential OF life and
helpless old men and women and children
along with the Spanish soldiers are hay
ing that acute horror OF war brought
upon them. while Foraker and Thurston
and Grosvenor and Proctor and Bailey
and all the other humanitarians are en-
toying icy drinks and sherbcts, beneath
electric fans, I'm the marble halls OF
washington. The wretched reconcen-
tradoes, whose sunerings were depicted
in such giarlng colors by the oiiice-seek-
ing rhetorcians. have been left TO perish
when it was perfectly competent to have
made provisions TO protect them. As one
Of the stage settings most effectively

not hated. by the Spaniards, and their
blood. too. IS upon the heads of the sell
fish politicians who thought that nothing
but war would get them back TO their
places fan Congress.
However much good TO mankind, under
the providence of God. may result from
the herolsm Of the American soldiers in
this war, there is one class Of people who
deserve the execrations OF mankind, and
they are the members Of the Senate and
the House of Representatives of the
United States who as remorselessly as a
Jenries or an Alva, have voted for war
from a selnshness which with most or
them was unreleved by one spark of pa
triotism or humanity.
A more alarming instance Of the reck-
lessness OF our National Legislature and
OF the lack Of balance I'm the methods
whereby the great forces OF this country
are aroused and projected. was never
developed. We may well be alarmed
when we consider the facility with which
this country may be plunged into a pro-
digious war, by selfish and ignorant poll
ucians. but even more the awful conse-
quences which may befall us IL the tre-
mendous problems which this country
viii inevitably meet. are committed 10

cotton mill at Concord shall be sue
cess. Nor do we see any reason why it
should not be. Before and during the
war the colored women were proverbially
fine spnners and weavers. and we be-
lleve that they will make good operatives
In a cotton mill. The only thing that Is
necessary to the complete success Of this
enterprise at Concord is that the colored
people themselves shall have entire con-
fdence in 1t.
