PRAISE FOR MCKINLEY.
The London Times Lauds Our Commander
and the Attitude of the Amer
ican People.

London, Aug. 15.-The Times this
generous universal recognition of the
part which President Mckinley has
played throughout the war between
the United States and Spain AID says,
"If foreign observers might presume
to have an opinion upon his conduct 1t
would probably be that President Nc
Kinley has kept his finger constantly
upon the national pulse and has known
how to stimulate and direct ma .lonai
thought witnuut too markedly outtun'
ming its movement
"Everything has been done in the
open, every move has been discussed
as a possibility all over the United
States before the government was ir-
reVoCably committed one way or tin
other, and the result of the cautious,
tentative policy is that where he stands
at this moment the president has th'
whole American people at his back. We
do not know that there can be any
higher statesmanship for n president
governing under the constitution of the
United States.
1T is noteworthy that while the
Spaniards, who are usually regarded as
chvalrous, romantic and medieval
have turned first to the financial as
pect of the situation, the Americans
who are usually supposed to be in
tensely practical, have as yet hardly
given thought to the financial or
economic side of the question. What
occupies the American people at this
moment is not the cost of war; the
value of their acquisitions or the bal
ance of the profit and loss account,
but the moral result of the struggle
and nature of the ideas which it slim
ulates."
