AID FOR PLUToCRACY.

Congress. he declared, should act, ana
could better act than the Executive, Tor
mulating his policy at midnight behind
closed doors, with the aid of plutocracy.'
"A stable government-what do you
propose now? Let this Congress give
TO the President the army and navy, ne
said, and l will go over there ana torce
the Cuban patriots, force the Cuban ne
roes to submit to n stable government
at the hands Of Spain, because the queen
Regent has already advised the admins
tration that she has ordered suspension
of hostilities. She cannot order a sus-
pension as against the insurgents. she
has not among all her bull-fighters ana
DULLES manhood enough to order a sus-
pension Of hostilities on the lnsurgent
side. This administration, with all TINS
vacillating policy, which has been criti-
cised by the Chicago Tribune, an admins
tration paper, asks US to put the army
and navy in it's hands, TO go over ana
punish the Cuban insurgents, after over
three years of the most heroic hghting
of any people on the face OF the earth.

cent man."

such policy as little short Of scoundrei-
