The Press on Foreign Intervention.
LONDON, April 16 The St. james
Gazstte this afternoon says "If q new
holy alliance attempted TO coerco
America in respect to matter in which
our sympathies were with America, it
would no doubt find Great Britain q
strong ally of the United States"
The Pail Mall Gazette says "The
sympathy of the continent is no doubt
with Spain. But between sympathy
and action great gulf is fixed. The
time has gone by even for European al
tempts at mediation"
The Westminster Gazette says there
need be no alarm about anti United
States movement, adding at is per
fectly certain that no British govern
ment will be consenting party to any
sort of intervention which is hostile or
even hampering, to the United States.
The only way out is to compel Spain to
accept the substance of the American
demands while she has yet chance OF
saving her sovereignty in Cuba. While
we do not fear the European concert
will coerce the United States there is
still, we hope, a possibility that COL
cert will persuade Spaiu."

THAT FREE institutions have reached

THAT FREE institutions have reached
low stage in this country is proved by
the fact that U. S. Senators say, pri-
yately, that there is no justifsble or
even reasonable cause for war with
Spain, but that they will vote for it be-
cause it would be useless for them to at
tempt to ssauage the war craze in its
period of exaeerbation, and that other
members Of that body and of the House
ct Representatives, in open session, ap.
ply the epithet liar to their colleague S
and dare each other to step outside in
order to use knives and pistols. In
deed many intelligent people have be
gun to look upon free institutions only
as easy means for promoting bribery
and corruption, and as conducive to the
robbery of the many for the benefit Of
the few.
