The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1898-04-19

William Jennings Bryan reached
Washington here this afternoon. He i,
already regarded, even by many Repub-
leans, as the next President Of the
United States. There is not Il man who
voted for him who has not supreme
faith that if he were our chief executive
he would have Il clear and distinct and
manly American policy. Looking both
ways is as impossible to him as it is
natural to Mckinley, not that Mckinley
means to play Il double game. | do
not think that bad of him. lie is
a yacillating man and therefore not the
sort of man able to lead the American
people in Il great crisis. He listens
and listen and listens. and the trouble
is that some Of his advisers are not the
kind of men who are entitled to hold
so important a place. AS far as | can
judge, while at bottom, not wanting war
and feeling no resentment at the catas
trophc to the Maine. Mckinley has tried
to take Il course which would enablc
him to say This is my policy whatever
course is taken. If there is war. he can
say Read my message III which l said
tie condition in Cuba was uncomfortable
and must not be permitted to exist,
If there is no war. he can say. Lee. |
saved the county from Il sea of blood
That he is taking this course is appar-
ent. from the fact that on the floor OF
the House. GrOsyenor declares Mckinley
will free Cuba while Hanna SAYS that
he has never believed there was DANCE,
of war. With TWO such Interpreters *
it any wonder that Mckinley has lost
the confidence of the country j. D., in
The News and Observer.

If Washington could vote" said Il
well informed gentleman to-day, "it
would lie nine to one in favor Of
war Outside Of influences at work
elsewhere there is another strong in
tluencc here that makes war sentiment.
This is the home of very many Of the
retired officers of the army and navy;
the headquarters of an army post; the
centre of army and navy influence.
There are thousands of people here
who come n contact with officers, active
and retired, and who are influenced
largely by the sentiment that prevails
in the circles of these officers. There is
said not to be an officer of the army
or navy who does not believe that the
Maine was blown up by the murderous
hands of S%pan;ards high in authority.
1t is also said that these men, whose
lives are in jeopardy for the protection
Of American interests. are SO indignant
and outraged over the conduct Of the
government with reference to the blow
ing up Of the Maine that the oaths
of those who are given to ever mild pro-
family are so violent that the angel whu
should attempt to blot out the record with
his tears would have to be a whole reg
iment of Niobes. The retired officers.

Human nature demands Il hero in al
crises, II will have him if he is to bt
had. Up to date Fitz Lee has come out
the hero of all our Cuban negotiations.
MOI IL word but that of praise and adj
miYation should be said concerning him.
ana his triumphal progress to Washing
ton was Il beautiful and wholesome
sight for the American people to see.
But whether General Lee has the quail
ficarions necessary for the Presidency of
this country is Il question that should
not. specially now, take away from the
pictureSqucncsS that cnvelops the
Southern soldier. There will be plenty
Of time yet to talk about Presidents
meanwhile let us behold with pride and
joy the soldier and gentleman and Amer
lean in his highest DEVELOPMENT as OK
pressed by Lee in Cuba. Besides Nir-
ginia claims the first honor Of sending
him to the United States Senate.

We have before taken occasion to re-
fer to the availability of Rev. DR.. James
Atkins for 4 Bishopric in the Methodist
church, and in this connection add what
is APPLY said by the High Point Enter
prise. as follows:
Is common consent. we believe.
there Is at present only one piece of
Bishop timber in North Carolina. and
this is DR.. James Atkins. at present the
Sunday School editor of the Southern
Methodist church. He is admirably fitted
for his present position. and is filling it
to the utmost satisfaction of the whole
churcl,. W9 have many other table

! them or to their country. not Il WORD
escapes them that could be construed
into criticism WHICH the press could
quote. But their ~ncighlors and asso.
ciatcs know. without exactly under
standing how they have learned it,
how they feel about the whole affair.
This knowledge perlneates this whole
city az it permcates 10 other city. Il
cannot be carried because no expression
can be quoted. You feel it here rather
han see il or hear il.
There is much public expression like
tiis: De LONE was given his letters
and sent home because he was q small
politician" That was right.
De Lone ought to have been sen,
away for telling 4 disagreeable truth
about our clief-executive. It is 4 right
that Americans exclusively have to tell
the plain truth about Their public SER
wants. Many Of McKinley's warmest
supporters are outspoken III criticism of
his message because it did not recon-
mend some direct action. Those who
are opposed to war under any circum-
stances, are not pleased because he
gave reasons that Justify var while
winding up for peace. Those who be-
licve nothing but wal will settle the
trouble blame him for not vigo-
rouSly taking ground for it. Nobody is
pleased. Congress takes up a whole ia,
debating what the President fayors anc
after his message nobody is any the
wiser.
This ought 10 surprise nobody. Mr..
Mckinley has never given but one clear
note III all his political l;fe-and that was
for protection. He has been consistent
in nothing else. His attitude on the
money question tells the man. He SIM
ply does not know where he is at"
There is no sin or crime in that. it is
just Il weakness that is inherent III the
man. He listens to all sides. He writes
Il message that j~ustifies war; he stops
short of his logical conclusion. If Jack
son or Bryan were in the White House,
liz totlt III ~ u VI lI1il BOSl"
ton. If either one believed the con.
ditions did not warrant war, he would
say SO plainly and without q chance OF
being misunderstood. If either believed
in war, there would be war if a vigorous
and able message could secure the ap-
proval of Congress. Something would
lie settled, and settled without all the
'hemming" and ''haWing" that makes
people tired. If there is to be war, it
should be sharp, short and decisive. If
there is to be no war. then the interests
Of the country demand that it should be
made known. Mr.. Mckinley lost the
opportunity of his life when he failed
to take u firm position. He would have
led his party then. Now, though he
may lead by indircction. he has lost the
opportunity to show that he is the man
able to cope with the critical condition.
