If anyone ever doubted that Presi-
dent Mckinley is absolutely con-
trolled by the money power, his
policy as outlined by his recent
message to congress upon the Maine
catastrophe should convince them
of their error. While we recognize
the horrors of war, and no good
citizen desires it without sufficient
cause, it is really a shame that our
brave seamen's death, murdered as
they were like rats in a trap, should
be passed over in the manner in
which Mr.. Mckinley does in the
above public document. The dignity
and honor of a nation must be up
held and maintained even if in do
ing so war with all its terrors and
accompanying ills be the result.

plan is we are not at liberty to say,
but we are satisfied. He gave US his
positive promise that by Monday at
latest and probably earlier than
that, he would either stop the
Cuban war by diplomatic negotia-

by force. Definite and final action

wait for the president until Mon

| Speaker Reed proved Wednesday
that he still holds his Republican
minions well in hard. They may
fume and threaten ba- when their
master cracks his whit all thoughts
of patriotism and homo. are scared
out of their shallow heads and they
think only If doing his bidding, liz
matter how contemplate and dis
honorable his wishes may be. There
can be no war unless the Republican
members break away from bondage
to Reed, and this they show not the
slightest inclination to do.
