PEACE IS PREFERABLE.

Peace is always preferable where it
is possible to maintain it consistently
with honor and duty. War, even to
the victors. is sad punishment 1t
means the death of human beings, the
wrecking Of thousands of homes, the
destruction of vast values of property
the stagnation of trade, and the depre-
citation abroad Of the credit of our en-
terprises, private and national, and re-
sumption of a vast Indebtedness by the
Republic.
1t is therefore with more than salts
faction that the consistent and right
thinking American citizen hears what
he trusts is verify, that the present
outlook concerning the relations be-
tween this country and Spain is more
peaceful, and assuring of peace than
at any time before for many weeks. 1t
Is telegraphed that this result is due
TO the recent prompt and patriotic ac-
ton Of Congress, and to the no longer
,disguised sympathy with us Of one and
perhaps two of the greatest Powers on
1earth. The belief is now entertained
THAT hostilities between America and
Spain are not imminent, that we may
mot feel obliged to purchase warships
abroad, nor to proceed with extraordi-
gary haste in putting our defenses into
.qd order.
thahat is TO say, the belief is obtaining
emit the United States will attain lis
GUS relating to Spain and Cuba with
ma drawing the sword, or sacrificing
h,tonal honor. or avoiding the call of
Sumanity. If this last is not includ-
ed in the speculations of our states
men, then there viii be sincere sorrow
and pronounced protest on the part of
the great body of our people. Spain
must not only do justice to the United
States but must deal with Cuba merci-
fully and humanely.
The verdict of the thought Of this ma
ton is that Cuba should be of right
free and independent. that she should
not be restrained of that right because
Some or many theorists hold that her
people are not ready for. or are incap
able of f-government. 1t is their
right to make the effort Precisely
the same plea was raised against the
demand of the American colonists for
freedom and selfgovernment. The
Cubans have demonstrated their abn-
ity TO hold a great nation at arms
length for years, and to match steel
for steel in the contest of arms. Sucls
q people have proved their right to try
the experiment which We entered upon
in the last century and brought to sue
cessful conclusion.

Riverside Enterprise: The passage of
the S50,000.000 appropriation bill will
have a moral effect. and Will reaSSure
the country al large that Congress IS do

that the Maine would be. still afieat.

brought up that S50000.000 national
defense appropriation yesterday. Tne

| passed proved indeed that Americans
are patriots first and partisans after

NO BONDS, BUT CASH.
Visalia Delta: The appropriation OF
this sum Will call for no issue of bonds
It will simply be taken from the ma
tional treasury without interfering il,
any other way with any other appro-
priation made by Congress, and there
is more to be used the same way If
necessary The administration in its
firm attitude is sustained by all the
parties in Congress, by the press every
where. and by the whole people. If
war comes justice will be on our side,
and the wealth and strength of every
State will be at the country's disposal.
There can be no question as to the out
come of a struggle with Spain, one
gratifying result of which will be that
! Cuba and Porto Rico will be forever
freed from Spanish tyranny, cruelty
and rapacity
ALL VOTED RIGHT.
Stockton Independent: Even the three
Representatives who voted against the
artillery bill voted willingly yesterday
for the bill to place $4,000 600 at the
disposal of the President as an emer-
gency fund. While Americans are di-
vided on questions of policy, they are
unanimous in matters that involve the
exercise of patriotism. They are parti-
sans among themselves, but as against
! all corners they are Americans.

RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERING.

We concur with the Los Angeles
Times" in the expression that the SUI
fering people of Cuba, which is our near
est neighbor, should be relieved from
American largess to a greater extent
than has yet been done. If one-half
the stories told of the suffering by want
OF food and medicinse, shelter and cloth
ing, be false, and the other half be rea-
sonably correct, then we have not done
our full duty. The relief-goods sent on
have been but drops in the bucket to
the volume Of comforts and necessities
the American people should forward. We
should show that while humanity calls
upon US we have no deaf ears, no mat
ter from what source the appeal comes,
or By what means the misery was
brought about We cannot forgive our
selves If we fail to do our utmost TO pre-
vent women and children dying of star
walton in the streets of the towns of
Cuba. and to save the sick from the hor-
rors of death without attention or kindly
ministration.

AMERICAN AND CUBAN INDEPEN-
DENCE.

If it is true that half a million Gu
bans have died as the direct result OF
the war for independenceof the isle; that
the bullet, the maehete, starvation and
cruelty have put that number out OF
the way, who else would have lived
out the lease of live in peace, then
Cuba has suffered more than did the
thirteen colonies of America when they
reballed against England. Washing
toms total forces never exceeded 24O,UOU
in our revolutionary days as is now
reported from Cuba.
The British did not starve our fore
fathers as a means of war. They put
them into prison ships, It's true; they
cruelty treated not a few of them.
They hanged some and executed others
in other ways. They laid on onerous
taxes and refused to us the choice of
our own Governors. But they did not
herd US in towns to die of starvation.
They did not forbid us to cultivate the
fields. albeit they took the crops when
their need was, and spared nothing
from the torch that the necessity OF
war demanded.
But if the half that is told is to be
believed, the Cubans suffer ten-fold more
than our patriot afthers did, and they
are making war against Spain with
fewer resources, and under more trying
circumstanc than environed the rev.
dictionary men and women of Amer
lea in their struggle for freedom. Ii
the thirteen American colonies We're
justified in striking as they did tor
freedom, we cannot understand Why
the Cubans have not equal justihcatlon.
1t will not do, in denial of it, to say or
them that they are incapable OF sell
government. That cannot enter into
the question of their right to try it, nor
can it justify Spain in holding in BOND
a people who have sufficient lntelil-
gence and courage to assert their rlght
to set up a government for themselves
Tray are contending for precisely the
same principle that underlaid our de-
mand for complete separation from the
mother country. That they may make
a failure of the experiment even II
freed has nothing to do with the alb
stract question of their right to enter
upon the experiment and be, as OF
right they are, free people. To Spain
Cuba has been but means, vehicle,
an instrument She has never consid-
cred her a ward deserving of tender
and stimulating treatment. For the
matter of that, we know of no colony
of Spain that has been held in any
other light than that of an eve to be
MIXED, but that must feed itself
When our own demands and success
are considered therefore, We cannot fan

American people are partisan in The

Thousands of people have come TO

who declare that our silver dollar is
