THE MIDDLE OF THE readers
MISTAKE.

Those Peoples Party papers which op
pose fusion are fond OF asserting that &
"Midde oi the Road Populist" is one
who will not surrender principle for the
sake OF getting into power and a chance
at the luxures OF the pie counter. In
this the3 overlook the somewhat imroft-
ant fact that it is impossible 10 accom-
plish anything in the way OF reform
without getting into power. 1t takes
-'power" to work out results.
Ii political reform meant nothing more
than an academic discussion OF abstract
principles, the Middle OF the Roader'
might be justified in mounting y lofty
pedestal of superiority and refusing 10
come down 4 single step. He could with
propriety insist that he was right and
refuse to yield point, because by doing
so he would injure nobody. But the
struggle in which We are now engaged
involves the happiness, the prosperity,
and even the industrial freedom Of the
American people. In the midst Of NC.
Kinley prosperity" millions of them are
in distress because Of . monetary system
which is robbing the debtor and the pro.
Queer for the benefit OF the money lender
and the non.producer.
The silver Democrats. silver Republi.
cans, and probably four. Of the Pop
uists have joined hands to give them re.
lief along the lines OF monetary reform.
The Middle OF the Reader" processes to
4 good one. but.he says that it does not
90 far enough. He wants some other
things also. and unless the allied forces
accept the whole OF his creed, he insists
upon going it ne-keepng in the
"Middle OF the Road. His POSITION is
analogous to that OF a hungry man who
refuses 10 accept 4 meal cf beei>teak, po-
tatoes and bread or permit others t.
accept it,. because Of the. absence from the
table OF some other things which he likes.
This is not only unwise, pu. tits uniu..
tifable. Its unwsdom and impropriety
cannot be concealed by questioning the
motives OF other people. When the
"Midde OF the. Reader" finds himse
abandoned by iour-fi,hs and, perhaps.
nine-tenths OF his former party associates.
instead OF challenging their honesty, lie
should Indulge in little serious refiec.
ton as to the. correctness Of his own
course.

t.ons On any question Of principle He

The President aud Ills Cabinet Con.id-
sriAg what Must Be Done.
Washington, March 23.-The cabinet
meeting yesterday was devoted exclusiv.
ly TO the Spanish situation In general,
and 70 the forthcoming report Of the
Maine court Of inquiry In particular.
The tone OF the discussion was very
firm and determined that there must
come an end to the present state Of AZ.
fairs in Cuba.
While the cabinet associates Of the
president maintained their usual reserve
as to the exact character Of their deliber.
atoms, yet IL Is conceded that the dis.
cussion proceeded ON the theory that
the coming report would show that the
Maine explosion was not the result Of
mn accident, but due 10 an external cause
There is no doub, that substantial una.
nimity exists on the part Of the prcsi.
dent and all his cabinet, both rs to the
Maine question and the general subject
OF Cuba.
The possibility Of recourse TO inter.
vcntion In case Spain declined TO make
suitable response 10 the representations
we will make after receiving the Maine
report has been fully discussed, although
necessarily IL has bcen an abstract dis
cussion thus far, and no conclusion has
been reached. nor is IL possible until the
vital question as 10 the courts findings
Is before the president and cabinet At
the same time there II a very evident
intention 90 consider all eyentualities,
including the recourse TO Intervention.
the recognition Of independence aud
other methods watch appear 20 suitably
meet the requirements Of such condi-
ton. II il believed 70 be the intention
Of the president TO bring about mate.
rial and satisfactory condition. In Cuba,
by which shall seem 10 b. the best and
most practicable method Of obtaining
this end. It Is the hope Of the admin.
istrution that Spain will 80 far rcalizs
the situation as TO see the necessity Tor
such radical action ON her part with w.
spect TO Cuba as shall command the ap.
probatioE Of this country aud thus put
