POLITICS AND WAR.

Congressman Bailey, OF Texas. leader
Of the Democratic minority on the floor
Of the House. Is reported TO have said in
Pittsburg the other night that he wished
to Heaven that he was empowered to de-
clare war. That If so, his first call would
raise a vast army Of volunteers and that
within forty days he would have the Stars
and Stripes floating over Havana.
mo one had imagined" says the
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald, that the Democrats would
drift into the position OF demanding war,
whether the circumstances demanded war
or not-of showing the country into war
over the Maine disaster, or the Cubans
or anything coming along that might
furnish a pretext. Yet that is Mr.
Bailey's attitude, as understood here now.
and Mr.. Bailey is credited with making
the Democratic policy in the House"
The Republicans say, therefore that
until Mr.. Bailey is repudlated, the Demo-
cratic party must be understood to be in
purpose Of carrying the fall elections.
1t is said that the Republicans are also
playing for political effect.
We know not how this may be. The
idea Of dickering with a question Of this
character for partisan advantage is so
abhorrent to us that we turn in disgust
from the whole wretched business.
But there is this one thing that the
nation cannot get away from. There is
such a thing as international law and the
United States cannot depart one jot or
one title therefrom and maintain it's
position Of honor among the great nations
OF the earth. Those who seem to be so
Jealous OF the nations honor should have
a care to this phase of the question.

WHO'S AFRAID OF THE FACTS ?

We observe that the yellow journals
and some Of their friends are in great
glee. because Of the recent statement Of
Senator Proctor. of Vermont. with re-
ference to the condition Of affairs in
Cuba The yellow journals and their
friends aforesaid, are now saying that
they. and they alone had been telling the
truth about Cuba, while other journals
had been muzzled by the money pow
er" and compelled to suppress the facts.
Now, they tell US, Senator Proctor has
come forward with statement which
completely yindicates the yellow jour
nails.
We are at a loss TO understand this
There has certainly been no doubt in the
mind Of every reader of American news
papers that the suffering in Cuba was
something terrible and that it were hard
to overdraw the picture. II there has
been any disposition on the part OF any
American newspaper to suppress these
facts. we have failed TO observe it, True
the statements Of the yellow journals
have taken with a grain Of salt for the
reason that these more-or-less esteemed
contemporaries are so in the habit of
exaggerating. that they do not get proper
credit. even when they do tell the exact
truth. But the situation is bad enough.
Heaven knows. without exaggeration,
and Mr.. Proctors statement on the floor
OF the Senate came, not as a sensational
revelation, but simply In confirmation OF
reports that had been printed in the aews
papers generally Of the United States.
The idea that any attempt at suppress
sion had been made is on all fours with
other absurd statements that have been
made from time to time in connection
with this matter. The mere fact that SEN
ator Proctor. close friend Of the Ad-
inistration. went TO Cuba on a tour Of
investigation, and that with the entire
approval of the President has made
known the true situation. there and pic
tured tho horrors of Cuban distress In
their true colors. is evidence on its face
that the Administration was not afraid
Of the facts, or DESTROYS that they should
not be told.
We deplore the spirit that has bean
manifested In regard TO this Cuban af-
fair 1t is not a thing OF partisan poll
tcs. It Is q matter OF national concern.

common many people neglect taxing

ton for many incurable diseases. NO

THE IDEA Is SPREADING.

The Times feels very proud OF being
the pioneer with the idea that If there Is
to be a great war in the future it is to DO
between England and the United States
acting together in defence OF Democratic
principles. against the despotic mon
arches OF Europe seeking 10 suppress
free institutions and principles When
Olney, nearly three years ago, was max
ing the United States ridiculous by swag-
gerng around and threatening England
about a piece of Venezuelan marsh. that
concerned US in no way whatever. The
Times lifted its voice In protest, and
pointed out that IL we were ever engaged
in war with England II would be a war
In which the two countries were fighting
together to preserve that freedom for
mankind that Anglo-Saxon institutions
have blessed the world with.
From the time The Times exploited this
theory 1t has been securing more and
more attention. until now IL is taken
up and discussed almost as a matter
OF course upon both sides of the Al
lantic. and the whole world is beginning
TO recognize that the struggle OF The
future Is one in which England and
America will be practical allies instead
OF foes.
