intentions, it is to be hoped that he will
carry them out. We assure him of
a cordial and enthusiastic reception.
He may have anything he wants-ex-
cept the cup. We will fete him with
any kind of a fete he may indicate. The
new fall styles of American fetes are

America one continued merry-go-

From the Washington Post.
Mr.. Mckinley has returned from a
swing around the circle, in good health
and excellent spirits. We congratulate
him upon the sincere and profound en-
thusiasm with which he has been well
coined everywhere by his fellow cit
liens.
1t Is to be hoped, now, that the pres
ident will at once attack the problems
which are vexing and distressing all of
us-the miserable tangles in Cuba; the
futility the waste, the disasters in Lu-
zon These abhorrent difficulties must
be smoothed and cured. The country
has endured much as the result of the
incompetency and the stubborn blum
dering Of Brooke and Otis. In neither
island can we discern the smallest
progress in the direction of our solemn
promises or our proclaimed intent. In
Cuba there is still a military autocracy
and a popular discomfort which grows
in bitterness with each succeeding day.
In Luzon, there Is bloody war: a ha-
tired on the part of the natives such
as was never visited upon Spain, and
wanton and fruitless sacrifice of life.
Towns are taken and the event Is her
aided as a glorious victory. Soon the
towns are abandoned and nothing is
left to illustrate our prowess but the
martyred dead and the swiftly grow
ing list Of victims. We have attacked
SO times. on each occasion with more
or less loss of life and limb and conse-
quence of suffering and disease, and
we hold to-day just six of the zap
tured" points. Our gallant soldiers are
hurried from this place to that, faint
ing under tropic suns, ILL., enfeebled,
done almost to death, and the next act
in the tragedy is their recall 1t is

political future, he must replace i'm
becility with brains and vigor. The
people are worn out with failure, be-
wilderment and disaster Humanity
demands a cessation Of the lnurderous
bunglng in Luzon. Good faith and
national honor require the pacification
of Cuba and the political rehabilitation
of the Cubans. This tragedy must end,
and end soon. Six months more Of
such miserable failure as we now have
in Cuba and the Philippines will con-
denim his administration, even in the
judgment of those who love him best,
and make it's repetition an impossi-
bility.

Leaving the merits of the Transvaal
controversy entirely out Of view, the
course suggested by Mr. Breckenridge
would be an act of sheer national in
sanity. 1t would be better that the
whole of South Africa should be sunk
five thousand fathoms deep in the sea
than that the United States should
light the flames of a worldwide war
which would cost billions Of treasure

perhaps. checking the onward march
of civilization for century to come.
The plea SO frequently made of late
that we should tie ourselves exclusive
| yto England at the risk of mourning
the hostility of all the other great
powers has neither reason nor justice
to sustain it. The plea rests upon
three misconceptions: first, that En-
gland is peculiarly our friend; second,
that she is necessarily right in her ac-
tons toward other states, and third,
that we are all Anglo-Saxons together.
The facts are that England never ex-
hibited any especial friendship for us
until the outbreak of the Spanish war
in which. by the way we were amply
capable of taking care of ourselves.
In the great civil war, when we were
engaged in a struggle for our very
existence, she was peculiarly and dis
tressingly unfriendly.
AS to the merits of her international
disputes, England is just as likely to be
wrong as any other nation. We have
had some trouble with her ourselves,
and We have always looked upon her
as being on the wrong side of the con-
troversy, whatever it may have been.
Finally, there is not shadow of
foundation for the clai n1taht we should
stand together as "Anglo-Saxons." 1t
is true that we speak the English Ian
guage, which has resulted entirely
from political conditions. but it is en-
tirely within bounds to say that a
clear majority of the American people
has no Anglo-Saxon blood in its
veins. Even in revolutionary times
there was a large fraction Of other ma
tionalities among the colonists, while
since then probably ninety per cent
of our immigration has come either
from ireland or from continental Eu-
rope. But even If we We're unques-
tionably Anglo-Saxon, it would be the
worst kind of policy to attempt to
array England and America against
all the rest Of the world, for 1t would
just as certainly cement all the rest
of the world against us. Friendly re-
lations with all, entangling alliances
with none was Washingtons advice
and it is even sounder to-day than
when he gave it

Misapplied Sentimentality.
