THE PRESS FOR FREE CUBA.

Our columns are too crowded to give
full extracts from the press of the
country on the Cuban question. Tine
New York Times says we can now
take no backward step in regard to
Cuba. The island must be free. If
the President can peacefully gain the
Independence of Cuba me will win the
gratitude Of our own people and of the
Cubans and the world. We can put up
with no arrangement that would give
Spain the right of an overload to main
tain war feet in the waters of the de-
pendent State" The Times would favor
some compensation to Spain.
The Washington Star says nothing is
plainer than that this government can
not afford to permit the present war
to go on indefinitely. Spain is response
BILE for the peace of Cuba. But is peace
possible with her flag flying over the
island? Peace for Cuba is the great
end in view. Spain has made the island,
with it's almost matchless possibilities
for happiness and prosperity, a waste
and plague spot, and not while a YES
tige of her authority remains will peace
be possible. The only proper ending for
this war is the ending of Spain's power
in Cuba"
Tie Wilmington Star does not believe
that Congress will uphold 1.-THE Presi-
dent in such q cowardly surrender to
those who proclaim that a righteous
war would disturb values 1t declares
that the ''temporizing policy of the Pres
ident must be abandoned" and that ''no
settlement of this question must be en-
tertained that does not include the indie
pendence of Cuba"
The Washington Post congratulates
Congress upon its ''heroic spirit of self
restraint" and says the facts justify
awaiting with composure the result OF
further elaboration, and adds:
1T is comforting and reassuring tic

DEPENDS ON WHOSE OK is GORED.

A judge ought to be very discreet.
Congressman Mccall of Massachusetts.
has introduced a resolution to impeach
Judge Bradley, of the District of Co
lumbia. because he used these words
with reference to the sentence of a negro
for the murder of his common-law wife:
Il do not know of case in which the
government should be more deeply con-
graduated in being rid of such a man as
that. Lynching probably would be bet
ter than putting the government to the
expense of keeping and hanging that
BRUTE
The Springfield Republican calls at
tention TO the fact that this is the same
judge, who, on one technicality and
another, let off the sugar trust magnates
and brokers who refused to testify be-
fore the Senate Committee on the sugar
trnst-tariff scandal. but there was no
talk Of impeachment for that. OF course
nor He was then doing what the trusts
and syndicates want done, and Massa-
chnsetts Congressman applauded. II
was only when he imprudently seemed TO
lean towards lynching that impeachment
is suggested
1t depends now as in the blue back
spelling book very much on whose OK
is gored.

out of the control of the representatives
of the American people and turn 1T over

criminal were left to choose the
grounds, the time and the manner OF ms
prosecution. We hope Congress viii NOT
blindly accede to this astonishing poll
cy."
The Norfolk Pilot says:
"The President members of his cabl-
net and others, still express the nope
for peace, while others, restrained 10y no
official obligations. and yet possessing
special means of information, declare
positively that there will be no war. Inc
Pilot has expressed great confidence
that there will be peace lat any prlce,
because the money power, which desires
peace. if not able to dictate 1T. Is able
TO pay any price for it. But The Pilot
has never ceased to insist from long
before the Name was blown up. that the
situation from any point of national hon
or. duty and interest demands interven-
ton by the United States, and since the
Maine incident. and the finding of the
Court of Inquiry, this demand is all the
stronger. and if there be no Intervention
it will be sooner or later disclosed that
the money-power and it's money and in
fluence will have furnished the 'consid-
Grafton that shall have prevented it."
The New York World says:
"Forty-one days ago the battleship
Maine was blown up and destroyed in
Havana harbOr while peacefully an
chOred at a moOring selected by the
Spanish authorities
s'FOr forty-one days the American pep
pie have been waiting. with a patience
and calmness that would have been pos
sible in no other country in the world
in similar circumstances. for the Off
cial determination of the cause of the
catastrophe.
"The destruction of the Maine in the
manner and the circumstances of her
taking off was an insult without prece-
dent, an outrage without parallel,
crime without comparison.
IF President Mckinley does not feel
this to the depths of his soul the out
burst of indignation in Congress and
the country viii instruct him.
"There is a patience that is pusillani-
nous. There are delays that are not
only dangerous but weak.
''There is no disposition among the
people to hasten the government unduly
in its action. But there are unmistaka-
BILE signs that neither Congress nor the
country will view with patience any fur
Their delay in taking the right position.
This is a government where the will of
the people is the law of the land. And
the will of the people Enthusiastically is
that Spain shall he required to make
the only PREPARATION adequate for the de-
struction of the Maine, and to give the
only sure guarantee of peace now and
overwhelmingly, Freedom and indie
pendeDce for Cuba
+ Nothing short of this will serve
Democracy is more powerful than di-
plOmacy. Freedom is stronger than ty-
ranny. Love is more potent than hate.
Sympathy with the oppressed is force
too vital to be smothered in the subtle
ties of International law.
Peace if possible. Peace if Spain will
yield. Peace with but!
eI Cuba must be free."

cures of these diseases, over a large part

giving accounts of it's good works; of
the aggravating and persistent coughs

ABOUT THE DEFICIT.

The Springfield Republican calls upon
Congress to provide new taxes and at
once. There is no sort of hope that the
Dingley law will prove a revenue suffi-
cheney. Customs receipts are again fall
ing off, while expenditures are rapidly
increasing. 1T is certainty that the
deficit will continue and in growing mag
nitude." But for topper Shiras, the de-
felt could be met by an income tax,
and there would have been no deficit in
the Wilson bill.
During the past four yeans we have
spent S15S,000,000 more than our in
come, and at this time the expenditures
are at the rate of two million dollars n
day, while our income does not exceed
81 100000 a day. Cleveland's unneces-
sary bond issue is keeping mp the drain
but it will not last always.
