President Mckinley gave to the country
ample evidence of his courage in assuming
to hold Congress back from the overt act OF
war and, at the time, gave way only when
he saw that his administration would be
discredited before the people by Congress
taking the matter into It's own hands, either
ignoring or directly rebukIng the admins
tration for what the hot heads were disposed
to term its apathy.
President Mckinley can scarcely be blamed
by any fair minded man, when the then
condition of manufactured public opinion is
recalled for deciding to hold out against
Congress no longer, but to hand matters
wholly over TO them. This he did and no
more than proper time was taken in which
to put matters in such shape that war be-
came the inevitable result.
Well; who was right, in the light OF subse-
qrent events-President Mckinley, who
gave ample evidence of desire to gain time
in which t. become better prepared for war,
or Congress, who wanted war a month or
more before it got itf
Were we ready?
Has the prompt arming and equipping of
less than quarter million of troops followed
as promptly as we were given to understand
would be the case, by the war orators of
Congress?
Have we nearly accomplished in sixty
days the results promised in thirtyf
Which today is credited with the more
perfect knowledge-the greater wisdom
Pres. Mckinley. who would have deferred
the opening of hostilities until we were
really ready; or Congress, who has adver-
tised the jingoiatic faculty ola people, that
like the French in 1870, made war before
they were ready!
When Congress assumed to say to Spain,
"Get out of Cuba" it should have been ready
not within two or three months-but ready
instanter, to thrust her out. The President
assuredly saw 1t in that light and today
everybody sees it in that light; Europe as
well as we of America and while no one
doubts that we will drive her out, it would
have been much better for US, had we, re-
versing the conditions, been able to do as
Germany did with France in 1870, invade
the enemy's country within twenty and
virtually end the war within ninety days;
that is what could and likely would happen
had we been as we'll prepared as it was the
intention of the administration that we
should be, when the final word was spoken
to Spain. ordering her to leave Cuba
We are hot critcising the conduct of the
war: it has been, SO far as we are able to
Judge, prompt, efficient and intelligent; it is
the preciptatng of the war, against the
very patent disnclination OF President Nc
Kinley, by Congress, and without due
sense and sufficient knowledge of the time
required for efficient preparation.
Congress knows better now!

Private A. L. Quinn of Company A has
been discharged by an order from General
Miles and has been sent back to his home in
Frederick. When the regiment was mus
tered in Quinn enlisted and said he was Of
age A few days later his father appeared
in Camp Wilmer and declared the boy was
not Of age, and had enlisted without his con-
sent. As he had been sworn in he could not
be discharged by Colonel Lane. so the father
carried the case before General Miles, who
agreed to discharge the hoy. Aspecial order
ordering Quinn's discharge, on the ground
that he had enlisted under false pretenses
was sent by mistake to the Fifth Regiment
