suAFTER,s REVELATION.

General Shafter has turned at last and
stung hard and home. In speech he
made at a banquet in New York, Friday
night, he said. among other things:
at was the expressed intention Of the
President. and he told me so himself, 10
delay the war until after that season,
no matter what the public clamor was.
He would not send volunteers into Cuba
during the sickly season.
No one who has followed President
McKinleys record will be surprised at
this statement. The President seems to
be a man Of good and sound impulses,
but he cannot stand the pressure exerted
on him by certain interests and in
fuences in his party. on occasions he
has shown that he would. If he could,
rise above party considerations, but al
ways the sequel has proved that he
couldn't. His record is one of Hopping
Of swearing he would ne'er consent and
conserving
At one time he was silver man and
even after he was nominated for the
presidency he made speeches that some
of the gold organs construed into evidence
that he was still little tainted" But
he was taken in hand by the nigh priests
who mnistered TO the St. Louis golden
calf, and 1t soon became apparent that
his conversion was complete. During the
agitation preceding the outbreak Of our
war with Spain he several times held out
the promise that he would resist the
jingoes TO the bitter end, but finally he
went over to that element with a rush.
We do not say that he could have pre-
vented the war, but we do say that he
did not justify the confidence the con-
servative people of the country, regard
less of party. placed in his stability of
purpose in the matter of trying TO pre-
vent it.
After the protocol was signed Mr.. Nc
Kinley was repeatedly quoted, on the
best of authority, as being opposed to the
annexation Of the Philippines, and the
reasons. II was said he gave in support
Of his position on that question, were
strong ones. But when. In the opinion
OF Hanna & Co., this sort OF talk had
gone far enough, the President was dis
"a.
was stamping the West in the interest OF
imperialism.
In view Of these facts General Skaters
statement is revelation that might have
been expected. We all know that when
war was declared vigorous protests were
made in many quarters against COM
mencing a campaign in Cuba until the
sickly season was over, and that for
awhile hopes were held out by the adj
ministration that these protests would
be needed. But the case Is only another
instance OF the Presidents "cavng."
None the less, the revelation Is full Of
significance. Il does not relieve the
war Department in the slightest from the
odium of. and the responsibility for,
the mismanagement of the campaign. II
does not In the slightest excuse Alsersm
as represented in the unnecessary suffer
Ing OF our troops. Therefore. it does not
