Rev. George NJ. Smith Speaks of the
Results of War.


Rev. George M. Smith, pastor of Hall
place NJ. E. Church, yesterday morning
spoke, in part, as follows:
This Easter morning finds the public
mind in an intensely feverish state. While
we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord,
we are waiting with almost bated breath
the revelations of tomorrow. The Easter
hymn has an undertone of sadness. The joy
of to-day is subdued in a measure by the
anticipations of tomorrow. / am not an
advocate of war, only as last resort in
defense .of a righteous cause. have hoped
for righteous and honorable adjustment
of our national difficulties without blood
shed, and / shall not give up that hope I'M
til the guns are firing.
THE President has won the respect and
confidence of all right-thinking people by
refusing to rashly precipitate war. Should
an honorable peace be established, the wis
dom of his course will become more APP
parent when the heated passions of the
present time have subsidized. But should the
calamitv of war prove unavoidable, his
tory will tell to future generations that
every resource of diplomacy was exhausted
before the administration appealed to arms.
We cannot have war without it's conse-
quences. The church will at once feel it's
evil effects. Religious and educational
enterprise of the church will suffer AL
though the state and church are distinctly
separate, yet their interests are mutual.
The church in this country has always been
a loyal supporter of the government. We
speak with pride of our own denomination.
Abraham Lincoln said at the close of the
civil war that the Methodist Church sent
moro soldiers to the field, more nurses to
the hospital and more prayers to heaven
than any other church, Methodsm would
be no less loyal to-day if the old flag was
imperied. Persons who talk fiippantly of
war and urge hostiities are either ill
advised or unpardonably rash. Spain,

And Would Now Like to Undo the
Effect of His Words.

New York Evening Post.
Horatio S. Rubens, counsel for the Cuban
Junto, has been in hot water ever since his
declared inspired and official declaration OF
yesterday. Just what effect he expected it
to produce-if, indeed, there was any de-
liberation or calculation about tit is rath-
err difficult to tell, but certainly, it is ad-
mitted, 1T was not the effect which 1t did
produee-asto constituent and reaction OF
sympathy throughout the civilized world.
From all that could be gathered to-day,
it appears that Mr.. Rubens's idea was that
a prompt ultimatum to President Mckinley
and Congress would be Immediately fol-
lowed by an alteration in the federal policy
in harmony with Cuban views and de-
mands. Another view is that the Junto has
become thoroughly accustomed to regard
ing this country as its cats paw to pull
out of the Spanish fire the chestnuts of in
dependence power and bond issues
The mistake of the Junto had been well
borne in on Mr.. Reubens when he met the
reporters again this morning.
He tried, as yesterday afternoon, TO soft
en- the sharp edges of his unmincing de-
fiance of this country in its humane inten-
ton of restoring peace. order and a stable
government in Cuba. He did not point out
wherein he had been misunderstood or mis-
represented, but said vaguely that he had
been. The truth is, those who, heard him
say that Mr.. Rubens was only too we'll
understood, for his present peace and COM
fort; hence his distress.
He said to-day, among other things, that
the statement made by me yesterday was
based on the proposition that the United
States government would seek to annex
Cuba" The proposition before Mr.. Rubens
When lie talked so boldly yesterday was
simply the alleged intention of this country
to intervene first and decide subsequently
whether to recognize a Cuban republic
That was the text of his remarks. He was
asked explicitly and especially whether the
Cubans would not accept the welI-known
sympathy and sentiment of this country as
a guarantee of American recognition of Gu
ban independence after the expulsion of the
Spanish and occupation by the United
States. TO this question, put with all possi-

the eXplicitness he could command, that the
Cubans in iunto, provisional government
and army would assuredly refuse to accept
it as such a guarantee.
The proposition of annexation was sug-
gested by Mr.. Rubens himself as among
the dire results which he thought might fol-
low the dreaded result OF the United States
submitting to the Cuban people a right to
choose their own form of government. The
mere notion of plebiscite in which the
majority or plurality would rule appeared
to give him a shock

The Important Rubens.
Chicago Post.


1t is our impression that this government
should take no further steps until 1t finds
out what Rubens wishes. Rubens is the
chief of the law department of the Cuban
Junto, and a loquometer hung directly UNI
der his chin will easily demonstrate that he
holds both the time and long-distance record
for talking. When Rubens speaks tho wall
paper curls the breath of the simeon per-
vades the atmosphere, the allied powers OF
Europe scuttle for their holes and the Cabi-
net at Washington sits limp and powerless.
1t is really the duty of the government to
send for Rubens and respectfully solicit him
to map out a, policy which he himself will
indorse. For IF Rubens is going to lead the
insurgent troops of Cuba against the United
States we might as we'll throw up our hands
a once and beg him not to shoot, as well
come down. We should like to know how
the good and pious woman" proposes TO
bring beautiful message of peace to
Cuba?'' Has she made any arrangements
with Rubens? Has she taken Rubcns into
account?
