WILL 1T BE WAR?

Will III BIZ WAX
Shall the most dastardly piece of
treachery perpetrated in the nineteeth
century be condoned for cash consid-
Grafton? That is the question Mr.. Nc
Kinley raised whom he sent Secretary
Sherman-at last the old man is given
something to do, but it was nauseat-
ing iOb-to circulate among his former
colleagues of the Senate, for the pur-
pose Of informing them that the ad-
ministration had decided, if the naval
court reported that the Maine was
blown up by intention, to demand a
cash indemnity of Spain. If Mr.. Sher-
man correctly reported some of the re-
marks made by Senators with whom he
discussed the matter, Mr.. Mckinley
must have blushed.
Ever since it has been practically
known that the court had found unmis-
taxable evidence that the Maine was
wrecked by treachery, the administra-
ten has been gradually, through di-
verse newspaper interviews, end by
other methods, preparing the public for
this indemnity business, by dropping
hints about the Injustice of holding
Spain responsible when it disavOwed,
the crime or any knowledge of it, and
of the probability that the crime was
committed by some SpaniarfwhO was
an enemy of the present Spanish Minis
try, ETC., etc. The Spanish charge
d'affaires in Washington also took a
hand in the attempt to have his coun-
try let down easily by officially stating
that no mines or torpedoes have ever
been planted in the harbor at Havana.
The fact that this fellow was assoeia.
ted with De LONE was enough to pre-
vent belief Of any statement he might
make.
There is net the slightest doubt tina
AN overwhelming majority Of Congress
: believes with majority of the people
Of the country that Spanish blooC
should be shed to avenge the poo
devils who were the victims of Spanisl
treachery in Havana harbor; but ther
is also strong desire in Congress t.
act in concert with the administration
= if possible. in order that it cannot b
said by the Spaniards, or other for
eigners, that there is a division o
sentiment in the United States. Thi
desire may result in Congress allowin
the demand for money indemnity t
be made on Spain, but it will be, eve
then, largely because of the belief ths
Spain could not pay the indemnity, an
would not if it could, and that wa
would be the result, anyway.
Although Mr.. Mckinley continues
talk peace, his actions. through his sal
" ordinates, show that he believes, ;
} most everybody else, that war wit
Spain is inevitable, and, to his cred
y be it placed, he is taking vigorous stel
= to see that we are fully prepared to 1
= our share of fighting when it once ge
y started. The more promptly and vi
orously he acts upon that Maine repol
which is expected this week, the bett

A Fair Complaint
people.

Mr. Lyle I want to enter my pro-
test against the quarantine. Mama
brother, little sister and I were going
to the country to visit grandma and pa
and cousin Willie and his little sister,
and what good time we were going to
have. They have horses, COWS, pigs
and chickens, and what fun it is to feed
the chickens and hunt eggs, and they
have such good Geld milk to drink.
Willie has so many walnuts, and how
nice it is to eat them, Now isn't it too
bad the quarantine has caused us to
have to stay at home two weeks, when
there is no school and we could have
had so much fun at grandpa's. And
we expected to visit our other Grand
parents, where we expected another
good time, as my aunt lives just one
mile away, and she has several little
girls and boys, and lovely home, and
such nice lawn to play on. Now we
can have lots of fun there, as they have
horses and we get to ride, as!we enjoy
itIso much. Our grandmas and pas are
SO good and kind and do everything
they can for our pleasure, and wo enjoy
visiting them SO much. Now don't you
think to go and quarantine and keep us
shut in here two whole weeks when We
could haye had such good times, is toe
bad? There is no danger of taking
smallpox from us. We haven't been il
a mile of it, and in fact would not know
smallpox was here if you did not heal
