IS III A COSTLY Rrnrnra

president Mckinley has set the coun-
try to guessing as to his purposes. II
he does not intend to fight Spain, he
has set up the biggest bluff OF the
nineteenth century; and, II he does in
tend to tight her, he has wasted a lot
OF time which has been of much more
beneft to Spain than 1t has TO us.
Millions OF dollars have been spent
in the purchase OF ships, arms and
other equipment at war prices. A great
deal has been wasted II the admins
tration is merely setting up a game OF

II is time 10 do something positive
by means OF diplomacy or the appli-
