goes out toward the man who has
the courage to be called coward in
the interest OF humanity.
There is something sublime in his
fixed purpose to draw thesword only
as the last resort. He seemed know
he would be accused ofbeingin league
with the money power, as the Savior
was accused of being in league with
Beelzebub. He seemed to know that
his patriotism would be in jeopardy
every hour ii he did not call down
fire from Heaven upon the cruel.
blood-thirsty Spaniards. But ms
presidential prospects two years
hence could not defect the compass
needle of his soul. Thepolitical CAPT
tai manufactured out OF his course
bv those who would use the ruins OF
his administration rs foundations
of another, could not veer him from
the pole-star of his purpose, not to
plunge the nation into sea OF blood
until the interests OF humanity lie
manded it. To violate international
laws and precipitate a war OF the
world would only hasten the destruc-
ton of the Cubans and invert the
order of converting the swords into
plowshares and the spears into prun-
ing hooks
Sayages love war. Barbarous ma
tions are cruelty jealous OF their ma
tional dignity; cheap patriotism
runs to the mouth; a man with a
cold heart and small head can grow
red in the face and win clap by per-
sonal abuse, A railroad engine
belches and Kisses when it ceases to
draw it's train. 1t is the silent light
ming aud not the clamorous thunder
that does the business. 1t has SEEM
ed to be apparent to President Nc
Kinley that Spanish tools OF torture
would soon cease to cruelty liberty
and the long suffering Cubans would
be free. 1t is question how the re-
suit can be composed with the least
possible cost OF pain and blood.
The question is many sided and by
dra-headed. The man at the head
OF a nation that looks into hot fur
mace of such a question is entitled to
candid treatment.
Looking out upon the four quar-
tiers OF the earth from the gllded
dome of our nationalcapitol; feeling
as he does that the destiny of ma
tions is posing in the balance; know
ing as he must that blunders OF igno-
rance and decisions OF prejudice Will
bring woes whose name is legion.
he ought not to be nettled by the
buzz of small critics and the abuse OF
those whose range of vision is in in
verse ratio to their readiness to con-
denim.
Let war come il it must. 1t is far
better than tyranny, rapacity and
bondage. Let the Cubans be eman-
cipated even if the fuse must be held
at the cannon until it becomes so
hot that it melts every fetter OF lib-
erty. Let the cruelty that will learn
nothing and forget nothing be driven
like the swine into the sea and sink
to rise no more. But after it has
been done and the smoke OF battle
has been driven before the rising sun
OF a better day, let not the critics OF
our president mount the band wagon
and shout, Didn't we do it,

DR.. LAGARDE'S OPINION.
Yellow Fever Having Heen Anticipated,
Preparation should Have Been Made.

Yellow Fever Having Been Anticipated,
Preparation should Have Iseen Made.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-Major La.
garde continued his testimony before
the war investigation commission con.
corning the conduct Of the war from a
medical point of view. He devoted con.
siderable time to yellow fever and said
that the outbreak having been proph.
esled by the surgeon general more al.
equate preparations should have been
made in the way of immune nurses,
medical supplies. etc.
DR.. Lagarde expressed the opinion
that If the soldiers had been fully
equipped there would have been less
sickness among them, and he thought
that much Of the trouble was due to the
fact that the soldiers were compelled to
lie IN the ground without cover.
Colonel j. w. Jacobs, who was chief
quartermaster of the Fifth CORPS al
Tampa and in Cuba, testified that Gen.
eral Humphrey had been in charge OF
the embarkation of troops at Tampa,
and that no order specifying what YES.
sells they were to occupy were issued.
In reply to a question from Governor
Beaver, he said the embarkation had
been a haphazard affair-''decidely So
He also thought there was a great de.
ficiency in the provisions for disembark-
alton, as only two lighters were provided
and one of those was lost on the way
over.

Now that election is over the Argus
Leader coolly admits that the Dingley
law as a evenue producer is q failure:
that we will have to go back TO free
trade or the taxing OF the ne%cessaries Of
life. and that corporations ought to be
made pay their share Of the wal tax.
This is strange doctrine for a republican
paper to preach and sounds just like the
national election. Here is what it says:
At the coming session Of congress 1t
will be necessary to make some revision
OF the revenue laws. Many Of the war
taxes will be repealed, some will be re-
tanned, and possibly . tax will be placed
on tea and coffee. The decreased i'm
ports have resulted in decreased gus
toms receipts. This is a good thing for
the country for it increases the trade
balance in our favor, and keeps our
money at home, but it is hard 90 rev.
enue. 1t takes money to run q govern
ment like ours, and where there'is a
falling of on customs receipts, there
must be q corresponding increase in
internal and stamp taxes. 1t is to be
hoped that the stamp taxes may be
| taken from the checks as this is an ia.
cressing nuisance, which is not compen.
ssted by the secured. II
would be a good plan to retain the tar
on telegraph messages, il q way could be
devised to make thew estern Union pay
1t. Otherwise, this tax should be aba.
ted also as 1t is vexatious and annoying
TO the extreme.
