THE SAFER COURSE.

AS the Richmond Dispatch
says, for several days past there
has been talk in Washington of an
early adjournment of Congress
with a view to leaving the settles
ment of the Cuban question and
our other complications growing
out of it entirely in the hands OF
the President and his Official
household.
Congress, as we know, has
proved very conservative since the
blowing up of the Maine and the
Lee incident; but the ACCESSIBILITY
of adjournment is urged on the
ground that something might oc-
that would precipitate a jim
goistic outbreak and unnecessarily
1rritate Spain.
The early-adjournment SUCCESS
tion was finding considerable favor
when the N. Y. Herald, which has
strenuously advocated the going
home of the national law makers,
gave out a little piece OF news
that caused many persons thereto
fore of its way of thinking to be-
come dubious as to the wisdom OF
speedily closing the session. Ina
piece of news was that Marcus
Aurelius Hanna was strongly IN
favor of adjournment and tbs
placing of the responsibility OF
peace or war on the administration
Mr.. Mckinley has been quotee
as declaring that he would rather
his administration should prov
a failure than have an unholy war
and it must be confessed that 81
far he has given US no reason t.
question the sincerity Of that dec
laration. But Hanna is the clos
est friend Of the President. Hi
