This strikes a great many people
hard; 1t is from the Dallas News (Dem.):
ut is easier to critlclse a President Of
the United States In such a crisis than to
advise him." Another southern Demo-
cratic paper, the Savannah News. u;ters
this sentiment which some OF the lingo
papers who are SO free with their critl-
cisms Of the President might regard as
too conservative for their readers:
standing by the President doesn't
mean a loss Of national honor. 1t sim
ply an effort to avert war with
out q loss OF national honor" No more
concise and truthful expression of all
that there has been in the Presidents
course, and in the curse of those who
have supported him, has ever been writ
ten than this.

The Delayed Message.

In some respects the Spanish-Amerl-
can situation is less strained, and In
others 1t is quite as uncertain as 1t has
been at any time. Contrary to expecta-
ton by the whole country, the promised
message of the President, which was to
bring to a climax the crisis. was not
sent 10 Congress yesterday. The reason
was perfectly satisfactory 10 the mem
bers OF the committee of congressional
representatives. from all parties sent for
by the President. 1t was 4 request from
Consul General Lee that the ma rter be
postponed until after Sunday 70 prevent
the possible slaughter of 1000 American
citizens in Havana and other points In
Cuba. This made the further delay i'm
fperative. It was more; 1t was n duty.
This incident confirms the confidence all
along expressed that the Presidents
message will take a firm stand. II 1t
were not the case there would be no need
to grant Lees request.
Another feature is the statement that
negotiations which may yet avert war
are still pending between the Spanish
government and Minister Woodford.
Only a b%ackdown on the part OF Spain
and material concessions that might
maintain peace could do this. and in the
news there Is hope OF averting war held
out to the President. but K does not APP
pear that this feature influenced him
materially in his request for the grant
ing of Lees desire that ios:!litles be nor
precipitated until unprotected Ameri-
cans could be made safe.
What the next day or so may bring
forth cannot be predicted. Certain i. is
That the President Is acting in good
faith, and Is retaininS the confidence of
Congress. There Is evidence that COM
ing rents will be satisfactory to the
] country. and that whatever may occur
this nation will maintain lis integrity
and will accomplish what all good citi-
=ens hope 70 see.

from history, in which Lincoln figures,

to repeat It. 1t will be appreciated by
those who have been watching the
course of President Mckinley. in Ray
mond's Life OF Abraham Lincoln. 1. Is
related that at at white house one day
some. gentlemen were present from the
west, excited and troubled about the
commissions or commissions of the ad-

da. Western Canada, before taking up
their home there visited the country as
delegates. They reported TO the Gov
eminent of the Dominion or CANADA
the result of their observations, ana
from this report extracts have peeh
taken, which are published below:
1--WE have visited a number OF most
desirable locations, and are highly
pleased with the country as whole,
II being beyond our highest expecta-
lions. We find here a prosperous and
well-contented lot of people. They
have comfortable homes, and their vast
fields Of wheat and other crops In addi-
ton to their herds of choice cattle, In
dictate prosperity in the full sense OF
the word. In conversation with the
farmers throughout our trip we learned
that the majority OF them came here
with very limited means, and some with
no more than enough to bring them
here. and they are now well-to-do. They
all claim that this is the only country
for a poor man, or one with little
means, to get start and make home
for himself and family. AS you are
aware, we were little shaky and un-
decided before leaving Detroit, but
have determined since that we, with
our friends, will make this country our
future home. 1t is far from being the
wilderness we had pictured it to be; 1t
is, instead, land having all the facili-
ties required by modern civilization,
such as railroads, markets, stores,
churches, schools, etc., in fact, an ideal
home for those having the future well
fare of themselves and families at
heart"
The Messrs. Striovski selected the
Alameda district, but what they say
of it applies in n general way to most
other districts in that vast country.
They speak of the fuel, which is to be
had in great quantities, Of the water
that can be had by digging from ten to
twenty feet, and of the good grazing
land to be had almost everywhere.
There is plenty of wood for building
timber and for fuel, while coal is con-
venient, and sells at low prices at the
mines. In driving through the country
they passed many fine patches of wild
raspberries, and say they can speak
highly of their flavor, as they could not
resist the temptation to stop and eat.

valuable space, / shall defer further
