Mckinley Drifting.

Reports of d~issension among the pow
ers in China and evidences of Russia's
bad faith suggest some very grave
questions.
Do we want to participate in q gen.
eral war over China2
That such a var is imminent Ia ap-
the powers will act together merely
for the restoration of order is wildly
improbable. When they fall out, are
we to take sides and involve the nation
in q long and desolating conflict in
which we have comparatively little in
terest, q conflict the end and conse-
quences OF which cannot be foreseen?
Mr.. Hay is fruitful of fair words.
Technically and formally his attitude
10 perfectly correct. We are assured
the United States is determined to re-
main aloof, that partition is not desired,
that only equal trade advantages are
claimed.
Mr.. Mckinley has undertaken to pi-
lot the country Through the troubled
sea of diplomacy without the aid of
Congress. Mr.. Hay says we stand
aloof. but Mr.. Mckinley is sending
troops to China by the thousands, and
preparations for a great struggle are
visible in the War Department. Heis
pushing into the thick of the conflict.
How are the acts of the President to
be reconciled with the professions of
the Secretary of State? Nobody GEN.
sures the President for doing all in his
power to protect American interests in
China, but he seems to be drifting into
actual war. Is this desirable? Are
we prepared to sacrifice thousands of
American lives, waste enormous treas
ure, pile up another war debt and as
sumo a pension roll in addition to the
$3.50. 600, 900 we are already paying?
And for what? Where is the gain in
glory, national profit or commercial
advantage?
Will Mr.. Mckinley let the nation
drift down the rapids? The edge of
the abyss is not far of.-The Post-Das-
