THE NEXT STEP.
Eroin the PhilAdnlnhin Drnss-

From the Philadelphia Press.
President Mckinley launches the coun-
try on the path which leads to war BY
signing the resolutions passed by con-
grcss and acuuainting Spain with their
character and contents. Decently and in
order, without haste and without delay,
the president will take the next step in
the great drama which closes IN blood
shed and war four centuries Of Spanish
rule in the New World. Rocking with the
excitement of opening war, the country
nay well remember and regard the mo-
mentous and difficult task before the
president in executing the will of con-
gress and the country. The Spanish army
has to be expelled from an island which
needs a large land force to hold and TO
occupy. Our good name must not be dis
graccd by massacre during a military in
ter-regnum. The starving must be re-
lieved and fed. Order must be restored
over 1900 square miles and 100000 Of
population, scourged for three years by
internecine strife. \ stable and civilized
government must be organized i'll an
island which for generations has known
only Spanish cruelty and corruption
President Mckinley enters on this task
enjoying the confidence of the entire
country, and all its conservative forces.
Independent of party, will rally TO his aid
and support. Nor is there, we believe,
anywhere any sober and rational Amer
lean who is not convinced that this task
is II duty the United States was bound tn
discharge, though war lay in the way aud
which it could not either in honor or in
humanity avoid and which it assumes
only when delay became disregard of the
claims Of mercy and civilization. War Is
the last and worst of human evils, but
even war must be accepted when 1t be-
comes necessary to protect the weak, to
succor the starving, to free the oppressed

Length of the Ultimat um

The disposition to Criticise tho presi-
dent because he gave Spain until Sat
urday noon to make reply is petulant
and unworthy. The president. not the
mob is now responsible for the hand
linG of this matter and he is entitled to
have his way. The citizen who snaps
at chances to cavil at him is lacking in
that sense of discipline which is es-
sential in time of war and is moreover
deficient in common sense. The presi-
dent knows the status of all the factors
in the problem. and his curbstone as
sailant doesn't for certain know a
thing about one of them.
AS a matter Of fact the president
wanted to give Spain only As hours in
which TO make reply, but he was pur-
suadcd 10 extend the time by the repre-
sentations Of secretary AlEer. the most
aggressive member Of the cabinet, that
not before Saturday noon would the
army be in condition to make that ef-
fectirc movement upon the Cncmy's
works which must follow Immediately
the receipt Of Spain's expected refusal
to eVacuate Cuba. TO assemble the
regular army from all parts OF the
United States at points within short
raii Of Havana, and 10 arrange innu-
merable details preparatory to an EN-
harkatlon Of troops for a campaign OF
Invasion upon d foreign soil is much
more easily and quickly imagined than
accomplished. If delay is necessary at
all, ii might better be before the lives
Of our soldiers are exposed to an
encmy'S fire or 10 the risks Of a dan
Gerous climate than after they have
been put at the mercy Of mischance
abroad. Preparedness is ninety per
cent. Of military success.
This is a good time 70 abandon the
censorlous attitude and rally patrioti-
Cally to the support OF the constituted
authorities of the land. Napid street
corner criticism will not accomplish
anything, anyhow, save perhaps TO
disgust the judiCious. AS commander
in-chief Of the army and navy Of the
United States and chief magistrate of
its people with three years more Ia
serve William Mckinley is in position
to do as he CHI oses whether Tom.
Dick or Harry on the sidewalk likes
il or not. But as a high-minded and
patriotic official striving with all his
might to do the best he can the pres
dent deserves the fullest support OF the
people and will succeed or fail accord
ingly as it is given or withheld.

The Franklin of Cuba,

An effective answer to the ISLANDERS
put i'll circulation against him by the
peace. at-any price crowd during their
recent, fight against Cuban independ-
en,e has been made by the Cuban dele
gate, Tomas Estrada Palma. After
| publicly returning thanks TO the Amcri-
can people and press for their invalu-
! able cooperation in Cuba's behalf dur
! ing the hours of her crisis at Washing
! ton. he says that just as soon as the
new government in Cuba shall become
| iirniN established he intends to retire
| from the field of active politics in Gu
! tan matters and resume his residence
| in Central Valley, n. y, there to pass
| the remainder of his days in peace and
| quiet with his family.
General Palma has shown by his con-
! duct during the mast three years that
! he is a statesman and diplOmatist Of
| tho first rank. Called tC the diplomatic
| leadership of the Cuban cause by the
! death of Marti, after having fought for
| tlitt cause during the Ten Years war
and sacrificed to it his mother, his
| princely estates and seven years in a.
| Spanish prison, he took hold of the
work with the skill of a Franklin, the
sagacity of an Adams and the indom-
| table will of a Washington. During
| the few years prior he was only quiet
| school teacher at Central Valley, known
! tC few outside the circle of his fellow
| cOuntrymen. From that peaceful vo-
| cation he vent to New York, organ
| ized the junta, perfected the vast sys-
tenn Of revenue collection among the
| Cuban eXiles IN this country, France
| and Italy which has supplied most of
the financial support of the insurrec-

ment on earth and in the face of q
| prejudice sedulously fostered by the
Spanish agents in this country, set out
to combat. the polished diplomats of
Madrid in their campaign of deception
and intrigue at Washington.
This little old man, and we use the
| phrase with the utmost respect, had
obstacles in front of him compared with

| His record in the last three years will
be scanned in vain for evidence of a
single error Only once did he formally
address the American people, and then
| his solemn. almost pathetic words
pI~dSng resistance to Spain to the last
man and the last dollar commanded the
public's unrcserved sympathy. And
now, with victory almost won, his
| thought is not Of glory or of gain,
but Of that loyal family in the little
York state village which has sustained
him through all these trials, though
often lacking the neccssaries of life
while he served the cause of his native
land without pay and turned every
penny of his personal income into the
treasury Of the revolution
The henchmen of Mark Hanna and
his ilk may slander this noble old pa
triot by calling him a bond speculator
but those who know him know better
and history will yet throw the libel
back with shame upon its disseminate

From the Philadelphia Record
Perhaps the most remarkable develop
ment growing out of the elimination of
the trouble between the United States
and Spain has been tho Outspokcn friend
illness of the people of Great Britain. 1t
would be churlish upon our part to at
tribute this symp6 thetic attitude solely
to either selfish commercial or political
motives. Both of these influences doubt
less have their weight. The trade be-
tween this country and Great Britain is
so vast that it necessarily gives color to
the policy of both countries. The grow
ing isolation of Great Britain in Europe
naturally induces her to seek to redress
the balance of power by closer relations
with the United States. But back of and
beyond considerations of threatened trade
or empire are stronger ties of common
lineage, language. laws and literature,
Blood tells; and blood speaks.

1t is thirty-threc years since three

them II is necessary to go back to the

It is very unsafe to take without dis
count the estimates of a prominent
mans character supplied by that mans
political opponents. Perhaps no man In
Pennsylvania has been more nagrantly
abused and slandered than Senator g.
l.. Magee: yet on the occasion of his
tiftieth birthday few days ago the
best citizens of Pittsburg turned out to
do him honor and spoke so we'll of him
that political slander must hereafter
fall harmless. In fact 1t is almost safe
to honor public man in exact propor-
tion as he is assailed, on the principle
that the more virulent the detraction
the loftier the target.

ENGLAND'S JUST CLAIM.
From the Philadelphia Press.

The introduction of a bill by enator
Lodge appropriating $73157 to pay the
Bering sea claim Great Britain has
against this country should receive IA
vorable attention at the earliest mo-
ment that congressional forms OF pro-
cedure will permit.
The claim is a just one. 1t was award
ed by the international commission whose
decision the United States ought in honor
TO accept. The delay already had and
the appearance of unwillingness TO abide
by the terms of the agreement have done
harm and a cause for irritation will exist
until the money is paid. 1t is a just debt
and should be discharged.
Besides, no more appropriate time than
the present for paying it could be had.
The spirit England has exhibited in the
controversy with Spain has been broad
and generous and this country should
reciprocate with like expression Of good
will. We can do this In no better way
than by paying a just claim.

ciple because 1t is essentially a class
tax. But even an income tax will be
borne in patience II necessary. The
Populistic demagogues who clamor for
1t will not be permitted to claim a
monopoly Of the patriotism OF the
country.
The main point TO be considered Is
to raise sufficient revenue at the very
beginning OF the hostilities to equip and
operate an army capable Of crushing
the enemy in short order. With Spain
bankrupt and at the end of her rope
this ought not to be as difficult as it
seems.

The people are ready to essAme what
ever financial burdens may be neces-
sary to carry forward the purpose OF
the Cuban resolution. Their patriot
ism reaches into their pocketbooks as
we'll as into their lungs. The man who
grumbles at the prospect Of war taxes
is rs much the enemy Of civilization as
is the uniformed representative of ty-
rannical and perfidious Spain. War tax
alton, moreover, should be sufficient to
make possible the prosecution of a
short, sharp and decisive campaign.
The harder the initial blow, the greater
the economy and the more probable an
early peace.
The Ways and Means committee OF
congress, with which revenue Iegisla-
tion must originate, is proceeding dis
creetly in considering as subjects for
increased taxation those articles which
can bear it with least injury to gem
eral business and with the most equit-
able diffusion of the burden. A tax of
25 cents a barrel on crude petroleum

be preferred to tax on tea and coffee,
and tax on beer TO either. But a tax
on tea would probably prove beneficial
in the long run, inasmuch as it would
stop the importation of the cheaper
