Prepared by Right and Might.

Events are rapidly carrying this u
try into war with Spain. This is plain
ly to be seen by the activity of the lat
ter country in making additions to her
navy, the purchase of large supplies of
ammunition in English markets and the
sending of more troops to Cuba. 1t
would be folly for the people Of America
to ignore these preparations on the part
of the Spaniards, and the expected ac-
ton of the house of representatives in
passing the Cannon bill, which appro-
priated $50, 600, 900 for the defense of the
nation, will also prove a wise move.
There has been much talk of the UNI
protected condition of our seaboard and
the smallness of the navy, but recent
%utterances of the army and navy author
tiles go to show that these necessary ad-
%juncts of war are not in very bad shape
after all, while comparisons with the
armament of Spain makes it very
clear that the United States is the SUI
perior of that country in every particu-
lar. The time that has interviewed
since the wrecking of the Maine has not
been wasted, and while the delay in de-
claring war has given the Madrid gov
eminent an opportunity to strengthen
its position and navy, this country has
been benefited in the same manner The
war, if it comes, cannot be of long dura-
ton, but it will be terrible in the loss of
life and destruction of property. To
this those who have been so anxious for
the conflict must make up their minds
at the beginning.
The action of this government in pa
tiently awaiting the report of the naval
board of inquiry before taking any ac-
ton in regard to the Maine disaster has
placed the %sympathies of the entire
civilized world with the United States,
and Spain will have to pass through the
struggle unaided, which would have
been the case even had not the compli-
cations arisen between Russia and
Japan over the eastern question. BE
sure you are right, then go ahead" is a
saying worth remembering, and in the
Cuban question its close adherence has
placed the United States in a position
where we command the respect of all
nations.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND
SENATOR HANNA
Not the Alter Ego Of the President-The
Course Of the Yellow Journals An In
justice and a Detriment.
Washington Post. }

1t is unfortunate, both for the admin.
istration and for himself, that every ut
%terance of Senator Hanna is seized upon
by the public press and paraded as hav.
ing been inspired by the president. We
do not believe that Mr.. Hanna occupies
the position or discharges the functions
of Mr.. Mckinley alter ego, neither is it
conceivable that he has ever, in the
most distant way, pretended to do so.
But the use that is made of his words
from time to time is in the last degree
deplorable. 1t is embarrassing to him
and to the president, and it leads to
false impressions upon the mind of the
people.
No one who knows Mr.. Hanna will
imagine for II moment that he in
tended to express anything more than
his personal opinion when he said in
New York the other day, that there
would be no war. He thinks there will
be none, and SO think several millions of
intelligent and thoughtful men in this
country; but he knows that no one. not
even the president, can speak with alb
solute authority in the premises. In
deed, the president is the last source to
which such a declaration should be
ascribed, since congress, which is now
in session, has supreme authority in that
respect. But, even were the case other
wise and even were the executive
charged with the power and RESPONSE
bility, it would still be true that
neither the president nor any
member of his cabinet is in a position
to say with confidence what is to be the
outcome of the existing situation. 1t is
true that the situation is a very delicate
one. and that it is fraught with unhap-
ply possibilities, but Spain is still n
friendly power, there is not so far an
iota of evidence upon which to base the
expectation of a change in our internat-
ional relations, and the president or
any other member of the administration,
should see fit to comment publicly upon
the existing state of things, would, for
obvious reasons, do so in the line of
peaceful prophesy.
What Mr.. Hanna really said in New
York was, after all, discreet enough. 1t
was simply this.
"a serious condition is confronting
us, but so far as | know there will be
no hasty action.
"The policy of the administration
seems to be wisely conservative. | cam
not say what congress will do in the
event of decisive action by the president,
but as for myself he will have my en-
thusiastic support"
If he had pretended to speak for the
president and by authority, the criticisms
we see in the newspapers would be amply

Solicitor General Bartlett.

In appointing Edward L. Bartlett
Esq, to be solicitor general Of the terri
tory to fill a vacancy existing in tn
office, Governor Otero has acted well
wisely and for the best interests of tn
territory.
General Bartlett is too we'll know
throughout the territory to need an,
extended introduction at the hands 0
this journal. He is a lawyer of fin,
ability and attachments, a mar of homo
and probity, a public-spirited and exem
plary citizen. He has already filled the
important Office of solicitor general fol
nearly six years from 1889 to 1895 and
performed its duties with ability, dill.
gence, care and success. During the
years, in which he served the territory
as solicitor general, he was uniformly
successful in all cases, wherein he ap-
peared for the territory, either in the
territorial or United States Supreme
courts. The law makes the solicitor
general the legal adviser of the execu-
tive and of all the other territorial Off
GERS, and General Bartlett will be found
in the future, as he has demonstrated in
the past, to be a safe, competent and
fair legal adviser.
From q party standpoint Governor
Otero certainly did the right thing in
the right place. General Bartlett has
been a consistent and loyal Republican
since his residence in the territory, which
he took up about 10 years ago. He has
been a member of the Republican terri
torial central committee for many years
and its chairman for the past five years.
He has given his time, work and ex-
perience freely, and without cost to the
Republican party and has labored for
the party's principles and victory during
all these years.
The selection is all the more compli-
mentary as it was made by Governor
Otero upon his own judgment and
responsibility. General Bartlett had
been a candidate for an appointment on
the territorial supreme bench and had
most creditable support. He was not in
any sense of the word a candidate for
the Office Of solicitor general and no
pressure was brought to bear on his
behalf. In looking over the names of
the men, eligible and competent for that
important office, Governor Otero con-
that General Bartlett was the
proper man in all respects and named
him. That the governor did absolutely
right in the premises is apparent to all
rood citizens OF the territory, and the
MEXICAN is absolutely sure, judy
ng from past experience and knowledge
II oil concerned, that the governors
election will prove highly credItab bic
md very beneficial In every direction. '

THE Detroit Free Press makes the
following sensible and timely remark as
to the position of President Mckinley
in the Spanish-Cuban matter:
"All good Americans, regardless of
party bias, will be gratified to observe
the fine s%elf-control and calm dignity
with which President Mckinley is bear
ing himself in the present crisis in the
nations foreign affairs. Not one single
word has he uttered calculated to add
to the tension of the situation, not one
mistake has he yet made destined to in
crease the difficulties which threatens
to involve us in val with SPAIN"
