Thehe are hosts of people clamor
ing for war just now with Spain, and
the oulk of tnese brave warriors
would taka the first train for Canada
if war were really declared by the
government. McKinley has tested
war and been in many a hard fought
battle; he knows what it means, and
his wise, conservative course with
reference to the Maine disaster is de
serving of highest praise. Had the
government gone off half cocked like
critics, we would have been the
laughing stock of the civilized world,
with the uncertain standing of the
French republic, which totters every
time a big criminal trial is held. The
European monarchies must notice
that the American government,
backed by 70,000,000 peoDle is solid as
a rock, and that it is not swayed like
a reed by every passing breeze. When
the time comes to take action and
call Spain to time, it will be done with
no flourish of trumpets, but with an
iron hand which knows its power and
with a firmness that commands res
pect even of our enemies. Let tne
board of naval officers make their in
vestigation and if there be any testi
mony proving Spanish treachery, the
old goverment will pay dearly for it,
and that, too, without delay. The
United States advocated autonomy,
that is the independence of Cuba,
which should bear the same relatioo
to Spain as Canada to England. The
Spaniards conceded this, but it has
not been expected, and very soon an
other plan will be offered by the gov
ernment looking to the absolute inde
pendence of the is.HDd.
