there is to say, and most or 1t Twice at

is made up of men who are under sucn

anomalous position, for they are IN
honor bound to vote for the best man

Spanish The people appeared to be behind it.
and prudence in forecast and careful counting OF the
cost in advance were not in public favor Now,
however, the leaders who were hoarsely shout
ing for the taking of the first step are
not so much in evidence. The auxiaries
of the Cuban Junta in all, Our large cities
and the young ladies in the New York Art School,
who wired the President "To hell with diplomacy"
are at present indifferent spectators of the compca-
tions and the waste of national wealth and energy
preciptated by their unthinling rashness The mi
norty in Congress, including that verbose and vocal
warrior, Lentz of Ohio, boasted that it had forced
the President and the Republican party into war
Less than a year ago they were shouting in Con-
gress, This is our war; it is Democratic war "
AT present they engaged in viewing with alarm
the fact that their war has cost lot of millions and
promises to cost great many more overrunning the
of the treasury under our present rate of
taxation That they had Interior motives year ago
is proved by their current threat that there will come
another Congress like the Forty fourth which will
apply the pruning-knife to taxes
1t is not far cry back to the Cleveland admins
tratlon when these same in the majority in
the House and were rabidly trying to force Him into
this same war. Had an incident like the destruction
of the Maine occurred that time they would have
then lighted the bale-fres from ocean to ocean.
The war for which they shrieked is still on and is
growing more costly, and while one wing of them at
tacks the administration the score of expense the
other reddens its neck and yells every time the ad-
minStration shows signs Of hunting place to stop.
Dealing with such minority and saddled with daily
increasing costs growing of the war; the Repub-
lican party needs the wisdom of its wsest to steer
safely through the complications that are upon it
1t is well to face at the situation If the rev.
deficient, the amount required to meet ex-
penses should be estimated and immediate provision
try may know at the measure of its burden.
Nothing but harm of indecsion or trusting
to luck counting upona sustained war enthusiasm
These wanted the United States to be "a
world power year ago, and they are now biting
their thumbs at the Republican party on account of
the cost of dancing, in that set Cool men foretold
what is now upon Porto Rico, Guam the Philip
pines, regarded valuable national possessions
by these critics Of the administration but cool men
knew that these could not be coined into cash to put
tto the treasury That must be replenished by taxes
laid upon people, it must be let go empty and

the plan, provided Mt. Pleasant

They want the line extended to
