that doing so would be q reflection.
upon the Naval Court of Inquiry. If
so, Spain has been casting reflections
upon that Court quite mum erously dur
ing the last few days. But, as matter
of fact, would it be any more reflection
to ask for the money from Congress to
make proper and needed preparation
for war, than it is to be secretly making
conditional contracts for the same
thing, in anticipation of appropriations
that Congress has not even yet been
asked to make? There is probably not
man in Congress who would ask that
a gun be fred in advance of the verdict
of the Court Of Inquiry, but in as much
as everybody now thinks that that YER
dict will show that the destruction of
the Maine was not an accident, there
is little doubt that q majority of Con
gress would like to see the administers
ton openly making ready to fight ai-
ter that verdict is rendered.

Czar Reeds latest ruling, that demo-
Gratis shall NOT when in the house as a
Committee Of the whole 'critizise the
administration, the republican party
or any indiviual republican, is another
step towards the absolute throttling of
free speech in the House, and is Just as
outrageous as any of those in the same
direction which have precededit. From
the birth of Congress the custom has
been to allow the very widest latitude
to members who made speeches while
the House was sitting as the committee
of the whole, but this new autocratic
mumbo jumbo says that no democrat
will be allowed to make political
speech, except when the bill under con
sideration is purely political. This
muzzling rule would be outrageous
even if it were made to apply imparti-
ally to all members of the House. but
when applied, as it has been. solely to
anti-republican members it is more
than outrageous; it is dcpriving the
representatives of the people of their
Constitutional right to be heard at all
times.

Governor Taylsr.


that he will finally and forever retire
from politics at the conclusion of his
present term of governor comes as a
general surprise-though it will be
more surprising to some than to Others.
He was to have opened his campaign
for senator in q speech at Trenton, in
West Tennessee, next Monday, and it
was understood that he would canvass
the state between now and the election
of governor and members of the legisla-
ture next November.
Nearly year ago Governor Taylor
announced his intention to retire from
politics and his purpose to resign from
the Office of governor. Friends urged
him to reconsider his decision and he
was besieged so earnestly and urgently
he consented to remain in the office to
which the people had elected him. He
became candidate for senator at the
recent extra session of the legislature,
and when the contest was over he an
nounced that he would be a candidate
to succeed Senator Bate, whose success
sor is to be elected by the next legisla-
ture Now he announces his determi-
nation to retire from the arena of peli-
tics. This announcement is final. It
is an announcement which he could not
withdraw, even if he would. For some
years Gov. Taylor has cherished q
worthy ambition to represent his state
in the United States senate-an honor
worthy of any mans ambition. But
Bob Taylor has not been a slave to this
ambition. 1t has not been the consum-
ing desire of his life. He has deliber
ately debated with himself whether an
election to the senate would be M ore to
his advantage and the interests Of his
family than his withdrawal from poll
tics and devotion to private business
which is more congenial to his nature,
more independent in character and
more remunerative in results. Tie
senate has been merely his preference
of public offices, but to the field of poll
tics is not attractive. To a man of his
nature responsible pHblic Office is OPP
pressive, vexations and peace-destroy-
ing. Strangely enough, his generous
impulses and sympathetic nature make
him as many enemies as friends, per
haps. In spite of his varied experience
in public life, he has never become
hardened to abuse or misrepresentation
and he keenly feels unjust criticism.
The constant appeals for sympathy and
mercy by those who seek executive
clemency touch him deeply, yet he does
not shrink from his duty as he under
stands it in such matters, and he has
not been more liberal in the exercise oil
the pardoning power than his prede-
cessors of the past six years. Those
who know him can understand that he
speaks sincerely when he declares thai
he is tired Of the toll ard turmoil and
struggle and narrowing antagonisms
of political life and that he will gladly
welcome the peace and quiet Of private
life.
Had Gov. Taylor remained in the
senatorial fight he would have made &
strong race. Senator Bate would have
found him formidable competitor
The senator's friends will welcome tht
governors withdrawal, but there are
many democrats in Tennessee who will
regret Gov. Taylor's determination tt
retire from politics. Knoxville Trib

There is no denying that the present
policy of administration is aggrava-
ting and CALLING to the average Ameri-
can, regardless of his political utilization.
1t is difficult to understand, when
Spain is moving heaven and earth to
borrow money and to buy warships to
fight us, why we should not be openly
preparing for war having Congress- APP
prepriats the money needed to buy ad-
ditional warships and to put us on
war footing generally, instead of pre-
tending that the preparations for war
which the administration is making,
not only to the extent of available APP
preparations but in anticipation of APP
preparations, are merely rotine pro-
ceedings. We are not fooling Spain,
and it seems nonsensical trying to fool
ourselves. Mr.. McKinlsy knows just
as everybody else knows, that there
isn't one chance in ten that war will be
avoided. He knows that the accep-
lance Of blood money from Spain will
not be countenancsd, and that peace
at any price policy would have no sup
porters outside of Wall street and its
connections. Knowing these things il
is his duty to ask Congress to make the
necessary appropriations to put the
country in proper condition to enable
it to give Spain the threshing it has
been itching for during the last year or

Few men in Congress are willing to
believe the rumors connecting Mr.. Nc
Kinley's name with the scheme to buy
Cuba from Spain. Some of his advi-
sers may be in the scheme. but Mr..
Mckinley ought to know the people Of
this country we'll enough to know that
they would bury every man out of sight,
politically speaking, who dared to sup
port the necessary legislation to make
this country guarantee the payment of
Cuban bonds, which would go to the
present holders of Spanish bonds. If
this scheme is seriously pushed, it will
soon be discovered that the universal
sentiment of our people is, millions for
the preservation of our national honor,
but not one cent for Spanish bond
holders.
