THE DEMOCRATS AND WAR.
Political Mnlcontents Who 0bstruss
National Progress for PART
isnn Purposes.


Every democrat in congress voted for
the appropriation of S50,000,000 TO pre-
pare the army and the navy for the war
with Spain then imminent. That una
nimity justified the hope that party
lines would not be drawn In the pros
ecution OF the war. and the measures
incident 10 IL. But this anticipation
has not been realized. The organ OF
the democracy ut the national capital.
the Washington Times, declares in an
editorial on Democratic Folly" that
the democrats in congress have COM
mitted about every error possible since
the war began.
This is not the accusation OF n polit-
ical opponent. on tho alert for some
thing TO condemn; nor Is il the accusa-
ton of n newspaper dependent upon
press reports for It's information. The
Times has the advantage of observa-
ton at close range. In support of this
general accusation and its political re-
suit. the same paper adds:
Giving a grudging support 90 the va
rious imperative measures which followed
the original appropriation OF $50 600. coo for
the national defense. they lined themselves
up almost soldly against the war revenue
bill and capped the climax by casting tho
bulk or their vote I'm opposition tc the an
nexation OF Hawaii. n contamination de-
vouty desired by a two-thircr majority IN
both houses OF congress and four-fifths OF
| the American people without regard to
1 party.
THE result is plain. What was intended
/ TO be and what was originally purely
American war has degencrated In the eyes
/ OF the country into n republican war, with
| all that that implies"
This is strong language but, consid-
ering the votes in the house cast under
the leadership of Bailey, of Texas, and
the attitude of the democrats in the
senate, under the leadership % White
and Jones, IL is none too strong AS the
Times truthfully remarks: THE re-
publican president stands before the
world to-day rs one pursuing patri-
otto policy in the teeth of unreasoning
democratic opposition" Following this
clear and exact statement OF fact, the
Times concludes with these prophetic
words:
when victory comes 10 him and Spain II
humblod IN the dust when Americas pos
sessions are enriched by the addition or
Hawaii. the Philippines Puerto Rico. and
perhaps the Canaries. Mr.. Mckinley can
truthfully say: This - my work-mine
and tho republican party's. As we saved
the union In 1861, so now do we glorify IL
with victory. ours the triumph, ours
the spoils. including a majority in the new
house OF representatives.
"And the people on the Sth day OF Novem-
Der will cry; Amen"
1t remains TO be seen whether the
party in the senate will heed these time
~ words of warning. The people, ire
spcctiye OF party, are patriotic and will
show their patriotism at the polls. IL
a majority Of the democrats in the sem
ate repeat the ineffable folly of the
house democrats this rank and file OF
the democracy will disregard party bar
riers and give TO the republican presi-
dent and congress an Endorsement jus

ten minutes the soldiers had formed

soon the .ircmen were ut work trying
70 quench the flames.
Almost Immediately after the explo-

After the explosion there was some
talk Of Spanish spy being implicated
in the attempt to destroy the powder
mill. but the theory OF the men con.
nected with the works Is that grain
of gravel or sand got into some pow
der which WIS in process OF handling

went through the machinery the for

which ignited the explosive.
