How Did II Get by John Hay?

President MCKlSLEys recommendation
concerning the Pacific cable will meet with
acceptance and hearty approval on the
part Of all Americans; but how did 1t ever
get past the Hon JoHS HAY?
The line Of electric communication that
shall link us 10 our possessions in the Pacific
Ocean must bc an American line whether
II is built by the United States or by an
American company subsidized by the
United States, In either case. this Gov
ernments control Of the cable IN time Of
war will I've absolute II will be impossible
for any enemy To employ il to our dlsad-
vantage. or 10 the advantage Of that en-.

That this should he 50: that altrustc
sentiments should not enter into the man
agement Of the cable; that the druationali-
zation Of the cable in time of war for the
benefit OF the worlds commerce j. too
absurd To be considered. that il is l~rher
our duty nor our proper policy To invite
the other great powers 10 join us in the
ultimate supervision Of the cable and in a
guarantee Of it, neutrality all these propo-
sitions are trusms requiring no elucidation.
No two Americans think differently about
them. President MCKINLEY was one of the
first Americans 10 urge their vital impor-
tance and he has not changed his mind
In special message sent TO Congress
on February 10, 1899, the President said:
"Such communication should be ests sbls shed In
such way 10 be wholly under the control Of the
United States whether IN time Of peace or Of war"
In his annual message of last December
he renewed this recommendation Of ex-
elusive American control Of the Pacific
cable. without asking the cooperation or
consent OF any other nation. and yesterday
Mr.. MCKINLEY again renewed it,
The President is right The cable must
he wholly American. There must he no
partnership with Great Britain or Germany
or France. or any other power which might
profit by it's naturalization The idea
OF neutrality as against ourselves is not 10

Hints 10 Voters.

Don't belong to political party sim.
ply because your father belonged to it
Use your own judgment He's probably
dead and it's your duty to be alive.
Don't vote for phrty this year, sim
ply because you voted for it four years
ago. Don't be slave but free man.
Every election has its own questions
and its own responsibilities.
Don't be afraid to break away from
your party, if you think it's wrong in
platform or candidates. Vote for your
convictions. The party is nothing to
you, but the welfare Of the republic is.
Don't believe what the party organs
say--thcy'rc bound to argue for their
side publicly, regardless of the private
convictions Of the writer's. There arc
plenty of Democratic editors working
on Republican journals and Of Rcpub-
lcan writers grinding out editorials in
favor Of Democratic policies. If you
can afford it, take papers on both sides
and form your own opinion.
Vote as patriot and not as parti-
san, for the good of the country-Cath-
