substitute for Senator Teller's kite

is the financial policy of the United
States to maintain the gold standard

at st. Louis in June. 1896. and at the
polls, with the Endorsement of the ma

CONSIDERING that he il a republican
and Gen. Lee a democrat, the sugges-
ton by Gov. Atkinson, of West Virgin
ia, To the governor of old Virginia, that
the volunteers of the two Virginias be
consolidated into one brigade and the
president be requested to appoint Gen.
Lee as its commander, is az praise-wor-
thy as it is an unusual action in these
partisan days. Gov. Tyler concurs most
fully in the suggestion and it is very
likely that the troops of the two States
will be united under the gallant Lee.

OUR dispatches in last issue received
up to p. NJ. Monday told of the dead
lock between the Senate and the House
on the resolutions and the appointment
of conference committee. This com =
mittee held many conferences, but no
result was reached till 2:l5 A. NJ. Tues
day, when Congress, which had remain
ed in session and rejected several prop
ositions from the one body 10 the other.
agreed on resolutions declaring that
the people of Cuba ''are and OF right
ought to be free and independent, de-
manding that Spain withdraw from
Cuba, directing the president of the
United States to use the army and navy
if necessary TO enforce this demand,
and pledging the United States to leave
the people of Cuba free, after the ex-
pulsion of Spain, to establish their own
form of government. The resolutions
are given in full elsewhere. They were
adopted by the Senate IL TO 30 and by
the House 80 to 8. The fight was over
the recognition of the Cuban govern
ment and the result is victory for the
administration, as no reference Is
made to the present government, the
resolution simply saying that Cuba> is
and of right ought to be free. Tuesday
at 1906 Mr.. Speaker Reed attached his
autograph TO the resolutions; Vice
81 af
and by 100 p. NJ, they were in the
hands of the president.
Though sent TO him Tuesday, the
president did not sign the resolutions
till IL A. NJ. Wednesday, at which time
he sent an ultimatum to Spain, giving
her till 6 A. NJ. Madrid time, Saturday,
to comply with the demand. The pres
ident plead for more time, but the cab
met thought that even too much. If
Spain fails TO accede. then the Flying
Squadron will steam out from Hampton
Roads for Port Rico and the North At
lantic Squadron will depart from
Havana for Key West. All trains
South are loaded with soldiers and the
present plans provide for an army of
100000 men.
At this writing it looks like Spain
will not wait till Saturday, but will
make an immediate move TO convince
our procrastinating, dilly-dallying pres
ident that he was TOO generous in the
time given her Our dispatches indi-
cate that war will commence in earnest
even before Sunday.

If Mr.. Thompson is laboring under
the impression that he makes friends
for himself by bullragging Gov. Nc
Creary as he did at Danville Monday,
he should disabuse his mind OF such a
delusion at once. That may take with
the underlings and bring him applause
from the galleries, but the sober sided,
conservative element look on with a
tired feeling, IL not with absolute dis
gust. II Mr. Thompson wins the NOM
ination, it will be on his own merits
and not on the dement's. il he have
any. OF Gov. McCreary. Neither can
he successfully work the bluff, as the
result at Danville should convince him.
Though not fighting man, Gov. Nc
Creary will not be run over and though
he may be slow by anger, when that
anger is aroused, ne is not afraid to
smite his antagonist fore and aft. no
matter how many hackers ne may have.
As friend of Mr.. Thompson, who is
personally a most clever and compan-
ionable man, we utter this warning,
that he will hurt himself more than
any one else, if he seeks to conduct the
canvass except on strictly first-class
principles. The people want Information
and if Mr.. Thompson can give better
reasons why he should be made the
standard bearer of the democratic par
ty than Gov. McCreary, he ought to
secure the honor, and will 10 so with
out resort to banters or bluffs. in both
of which he may expect TO be called
down.

SENATOR FORAKER is the lion of the
U. S. Senate. His aggressive fight for
a declaration for Cuban independence
and his strong speech for it, has made
him many friends, not only among the
democrats, but among his own party,
which now sees its mistake in not max
ing him president. II he was the chief
executive, the war would have been
fought and won, Spain would have
tucked its cowardly tail between its
legs and got off the Western world,
the Maine horror would have been
avenged and Cuba would be free. But
alas, Mckinley and not he is president,
and here we are giving Spain all the
time she needs to get ready TO fight us.
