PRESIDENTS
CUBAN POLICY.
Philadelphia, February q.

| phia admirers. OF course, there are
those who do not comprehend why the
President insists upon any policy at all
in the handling of the affairs of the is
land, and because of this political strab-
ismus, these individuals are disposed not
only to shrug their shoulders at Mr.. Nc
Kinley. but to squirt in most deplorable
way when the names of their Senators
are mentioned in connection with the
affair. 1t was stated by these curious
composites of the human kind that Mr..
Mckinley was demanding entirely too
much, and that his claims would not be
tolerated by the gentlemen who make the
laws. There was Il curious TRANSFORMED
ton of thought in the minds of these
DIRECTORS, when it was observed that
Congress intended to ask for more and
really did go farther in its demands.
No one who has studied the President
can call him inconscrvative or impOlitic.
He possesses the singular ability of
measuring the wishes of the people be-
fore taking any definite step in important
Matters and especially in such matters
rs effect the whole country.
| Conscry atism frequently bars pro-
greSs, but as adopted by the President
it becomes sort of lubricator for the
most progressive stride towards great
ness ever seen in this country. Mr..
| Mckinley's last act in reference to
Cuba has, therefore, won him hosts Of
| admirers, even from the ranks of those
who have heretofore classed him as I'M
progressive and too strongly Republican

1t is this broadncss of the man that is
| giving his admirers SO much real pleas
ure. as only the narrow minded indi-
viiual who, possibly cannot name the
! Presidents of the United States in
successive order without first consulting
authority, are the persons who are dis
posed to protest.
| Ignorance is noisy. administrative and
troublesome. but no trouble is feared
regarding Mr.. McKinley's much dis
cussed Cuban policy, for the very excel
lent reason that Congress has surpassed
him and may ultimately demand more
| than he has asked.
The yellow journals whose chief bust
ness it seems to be is to find fault with
everything and everybody, show their
poisonous fangs in discussing Cuba and
our treatment of her, but their editorial
broadsidcs can do no harm. The conf
nonsense people read them and accept
them for what they are worth, often
forgetting the venom in the burning col
umns before they take up the depend
| able, sober minded papers from which
to draw deductions.
An extra session of Congress no
doubt will be called to dispose Of this
! important question, whether the yell
low journals deem it proper or not, as
it is understood MIR. Mckinley is en-
trvmply anxious TO come to al early
understanding of our exact attitude TO-
ward the young Republic.
Indications point to an interesting pas
sage of arms between the lcgitimate
clubs and the Law and Order Society,
i all because the representatives of the
society persist i'll spying and crying
whenever they can possibly do so, under
the guse of reform. The clubs insist
that they will not stand the inquisitorlal
methods of the agents, whom they charge
with distortions and unbecoming pro-
crrdings.
