Very happily, the influence of a
mnn or newspaper decreases just
in proportion as that man or news
paper throws off the restraints of
decency. If the law of nature
were such publications waxcd in
influence in proportion as they
became more obscene, more GRIM
inal, more reckless. in proportion
as they achieve their ideal, in
short, they wouldsbe monaco;
and in that event tho publishers
ofthese sheets would long since have
begun to learn some useful trade
within the c!oistered shades of II
state institution. But the law OF
nature being that their influence
narrows in the ratio that they
achieve their ideal of sensational
ism, they are harmless. In the course
of time their pages will be o:cu-
pied by one long shrek and their
circulation afiiduvits, and then, il
is fair to assume, they will cease to
alarm even the most timid citizen.
All of which makes it proper to
remark that this is good time to
remember thnt We arc big coun-
try and strun. people; TINT gad-
flies may buzz of war, but TINT
they can not maze il; that our
ideals are high and our striving
toward them constant and earnest; ;
that we would fight with all onr
hearts and all our strength if We

Me0IaS Intervention.

A
If the matter and the peculiar
timelincss of Senator Proctor's
gre: t speech on the Cuban stu
ati' n may be accepted as in any
degree significant, President Nc
Kinley expects the report of the
Naval Board of Inquiry to be of
+; n most startling nature, and is pre-
pared to appropriated, act upon
that report.
Senator Proctor's speech calls
for intervention in Cuba as clear
ly and as loudly MS it is possible
for the voice of nan to call. If,
with his words still ecloing in
American hearts, the report OF the
Naval Board of Inquiry now comes
to hand plainly proving that the
American warship Maine was
treachorously blown up by Spau-
iards in Havana Harbor, inter-
vention, under the pressure of
national demand, will be we'll nigh
inevitable.
Senatnrsproctor is close friend
of President Mckinley. He went
to Cuba with the1PScsidcnt's ap-
proval. Returning, he has made
hissepochal speech in the United
States Senate with the Presi-
dents knowledge and consent, The
President read the speech in man-
uscript and eliminated certain
trivialities detract;ng from its in
hercnt solemnity. He cannot fail
TO have fureseon the tremendous
influence which that speech was
sure to have upol American sen,i-
mont.
This Indicated resolve of inter
vention points almost certainly to
the elimination of the existing
crisis to point whcr- war with
Spain is practically foreaone con-
clusion. The administration hur.
ried aid Increasingly vigorous
preparations for war would seem
to show that this is President Nc.
kinley's view OF the situation. Ii

perceive The plain meaning of these
latest dovelopcmcnts, and it is in
cumbent upon the American pco-
pie to such developments with

MCKiNLEY'S FIRST YEAR,

AJO President since the time OF
Lincoln entered Office under
' more andverse circumstance
than Mckinley. The campaign
which preceded his election wa'
one of more than ordinary bitter
ness, aud threatened to .engendei
antagonisms which would outlast
the term of his Presidency. The
business of the country, which had
been bad for four years, was still
stagnant. The revenues were de-
ficient, and n drain Of gold from the
treasury was imminent. His po-
litical opponents had belittled him
as Mark Hanna's man." had d' :
nounced as the ''agent of trusts
and had shown every evidence oi
an intention to harass his admin
istration and assnil his personal
character necessarily SO long as h
remained in office.
He has just completed the first
year of his term and already he
has won the confidence of the
whole people as completely as he
has won that of his party before
he was nominated. Although his
party had control of but one house
of Congress, the Senate having
free silver majority and being op-
posed to his financial policy, he
has succeeded in bringing about
the enactment of tariff which has
restored industry, revived trade
and provided the treasury once
more with IN income equal to the
need of the country.
He has harmonized factions, re-
moved all causes of dissension in
the ranks of his own party, and
hns even succeeded in inducing
the generally obstructive Demo-
cratic and Populist minority in the
House to act with discretion. Hia
appointments to Office have given
satisfaction to the people. His
speeches and his messages to Con-
press have had the effect of nliay-
ing apprchcnsions and encouraging
the business interests of the coun'
try to enter with confidence upon
new enterprise, and, in shoit' al
tho acts of his official life have
been of n nature to silence dema-
gogues. put an end to agisation'
and restore the republic to its nor
mul condition of harmony and well
ordered prosperity.
The Prcident is now reaping The
reward of his It tcmanship, /
tact and patriotism. He enjoy
the fullest confidence OF Congress
and the country. His political
opponents have ceased to vilif,
lin. The mugwumps have ceas:e
to sneer Mt him. No one nov

| administration or denies that III

But the most magnificent part OF the per-

walking to town or crowdlng its way 10 the

OF the barrel poured on the water and
long tongues of fire sprang apparently from

twenty feet in the air: The OIL rapidly

WHAT BUFFALO PROMISES.
VIII Even Spend More Money than
Indianapolis.

The Buffalo delegation remarked last
evening that Indianapolis has spent more
money entertaining than has been put up
by any city since the Inception of national
meets of the League of American Wheel
even more money for like purpose in 80.
The Buffalo cafe at the Denison is going
full blast and. it is estimated that the dele
cation will spend $1,000 in entertaining dur
ing the week.
Regarding the remark attributed to Abb
bolt Bassett. national secretary, at the
press banquet on Tuesday evening. in his
speech in favor of Boston for the national
meet in '99. that Buffalo is conspicuous
by her absence. William H. Baker, presi-
dent of the Associated Cycling Clubs of
Buffalo, N. Y. said: II regret that Buffalo
was not represented at the banquet and the
failure is due to the fact that we have re-

lieve that. The remark called to my at

that time in order to witness one of the

was satisfied is stating it mildly. After the

q go in the prize ring was had between Ed
Bennett and Michael Kelly. In the fourth
round Bennett hoored Kelly. and as the
man was rising in a demoralized condi-
ton, too dazed to defend himself Bennett
hit him a powerful blow that rendered him
unconscious. Kelly remained on the floor a
few minutes in this condition while the Off
Gals talked about something else, but after
a while they grabbed the unconscious man
by the legs and arms and dragged him
away somewhere. The second bout between
John Wessler and Louis Schupp, both of
