The Washington end of this nasty
Spanish business is now in a fairly sat
factory condition. Since Congress
placed $4,000, 900 at Mr.. Mckinley s
disposal, the administration has come
out in the open with its war prepara-
tions, and no time is now being lost in
getting together the fighting material
that will be necessary to enable lis to
drive the Spaniards off every foot Of
American territory Although Mr..
Mckinley deserved criticism for wait
ing so leng to get started along the
road, it is overlooked now, and he is
given the praise he deserves for the en-
ergetic manner in which he is pushing
things. The country is rapidly being
put upon a war footing; the people
have been on war footing for some
time.
