One of the most remarkable things
connected with the Tory attempt to
cripple the nation in the Pacific Ocean
Is the argument that to bring the
question forward now will have ten
dency to prolong the present session OF
Congress, the bellwethers Of the ma
jority in the House desiring to secure
an early adjournment.
Nothing could be much more ridicu-
lous than such a proposition. The
American people will be heard from
in an unpleasant way at the first sign
that Congress has any idea of deserting
its post under present conditions.
While the country Is now inclined to
trust the Administration to prosecute
hostilities against Spain with a vigor 1t

peace making power of the nation may

1t is obnoxiously noticeable that
those who are plotting for an early ad-
journment are the same men who have
all along fought against Hawaiian an
nexation: were formerly known as
friends of Spain and peace-with-dis
honor men. and, Furthermore, have been
considered as in alliance with those
sordid interests which for a year infiu-
enced the Administration. to its detri-
ment. Their motives in trying to get
rid of Congress need not be much of a
mystery. Evidently, they believe that.
