Length of the Ultimatum
The disposition to criticise the presi
dent because ho gave Spain until Sat
urday noon to make reply Is petulant
and unworthy. The president, not the
mob, s now responsible for the hand
ling of this matter and he is entitled to
have his way. The citizen who snaps
nt chances to cavil at him Is lucking in
that sense of discipline which Is es
sential in time of war and 1b moreover
deficient In common sense. The presi
(1. nt knows the status of all the factors
Ir the problem, and his curbstone as
sailant doesn't for certain know a
thins about one of them.
As a matter of fnct the president
wanted to give Spain only 4S hours In
which Id make reply, but he was juir
suaded to extend the time by the repre
sentations of Secretary Alger, the most
aggressive member of the cabinet, that
n it bofoie Saturday noon would the
army he in condition to make that ef
fective movement upon the enemy's
works which must follow Immediately
the receipt of Spain's expected refusal
ti evacuate Cuba. To assemble the
i'i tsulat nrmy fiom nil parts of the
T'nlttd Slates at points within short
p.'i'i i.i Havana, and to arrange Innu
merable details preparatory to an em
barkation of troops for a campaign of
in' aslon upon a foreign soil Is much
Tiioie easily and quickly Imagined than
accomplished. If delay is necessary nt
all. It might hotter he before the lives
of our soMlus are exposed to an
enemy's lire or to the risks of a dan
gerous climate than after they have
been put at the mercy of mischance
abroad. Prepaiedness Is ninety per
ce.it, of military success.
This Is a good time to abandon the
eensoilous attitude and rally patrioti
cally to the suppoit of the constituted
authorities of the land. Vnpld street
corner criticism will not accomplish
anything, anyhow, save perhaps to
disgust the Judicious. As commander-in-chief
of the army and navy or the
t'nlted States and chief magistrate of
Its people with three years more to
serve William McKlnley Is In a position
to do as ho ch oses whether Tom,
Dick or Harry on the sidewalk likes
H or not. Hut us a high-minded and
patriotic ofUclal striving with all his
might to do the best he can the presi
dent deserves the fullest support of the
people nnd will succeed or fall accord
ingly as it Is given or withheld.
Senator Elkins saw the president
sign the ultimatum. Let us hope the
pectocle Invigorated his Americanism.
Our Debt of Honor.
That certainly was a neat feat of the
London Mall In collecting opinions from
nearly every part of the British Em
pire on the attitude of the United
States toward Spain and Cuba. From
Canada, British China, India, Austra
lastnj. Jamaica and taHa expressions
come unanimous in their approval of
our aroyernment's coutse.many of them
Including euch passages as this from
Sydney, N. S. XV.: "One hundred New
tfouth Wales men have visited tho
American cousul and offered to enlist
In the service of the United Slates."
Perhaps no moro significant answer
t tliih warm heart Wit of Anglo-Saxon
kinship could be made than to quote
from' a paper contributed by ex-Secretary
Mcliard Olney to the Atlantic
Monthly. Mr. Olney, tho pugnacious,
saysr "Family quarrels have been
heretofore and doubtless will he again,
and the two peoples, at tho safe dis
tance which the broad Atlnutlo Inter
popes, take wlih each other liberties
of speech which only the fondest and
dearest relatives can Indulge In. Never-th'-lcr-s,
that they would ho found
stuntlliig together against uny alien foe
by whom either waa menaced with de
struction o irreparable calamity It Is
not pennlKSlble to doubt. Nothing less
could he expected of the close commun
ity between them In origin, speech,
thought, literature, institutions, Ideals
In the kind and degree of the civiliza
tion enjoyed by both. In that same
community, and In that co-nperatlon
In good wotks which should result from
It, it Is not too much to say, lies the
best hope for the future not only of
tlin two kindred peoples, but of the
human race Itself."
We belle.vo that the American peo
ple, whatever their former prejudices
may have been, nre prepared to
recognize the obligation under which
England and English kinsmen are now
placing them as an International debt
of honor a debt to be repaid with In
terest, In kind. It should mark tho be
ginning of u new era in civilization.
H would not take a foreign war to
elect William Council governor of
Pennsylvania.
The Franklin of Cuba.
An effective unswer to the slaiidPrs
put in circulation against him by the
peace, at-nny-price .rowl during their
recent, fight against Cuban Independ
ent e has been made hy the Cuban dele
gate, Tomas Khtrada Palnm. After
publicly returning thanks to the Ameri
can people and press for their invalu
able co-operation In Cuba's behalf dur
ing Hie houis of her crisis at Washing
ton, he says that just as soon as the
new government In Cuba shall become
firmly established ho intends to retire
from the field of active politics In Cu
ban matters nnd resume his resldencj
In Central Valley, X. V., there to pass
the- remainder of his days In peace and
quiet with his family.
tleneral Palnm has shown by h's con
duct diirinu the past three years that
he Is a statesman and diplomatist of
the first rank. Called tr, the diplomatic
loudeishlp of tho Cuban cause by th"
death of Marti, after having fought for
that cause dining tho Ton Years' war
and (.neilllced to It his mother, his
princely estates nnd seven years In a,
Spanish prison, he took hold of the
work with tho skill of a Franklin, the
rngaclty of an Adams and the Indom
itable will of a Washington. During
the few years prior he was only a quiet
school teacher at Central Valley, known
tc lew outside Iho circle of his fellow
countrymen. From that peaceful vo
cation he went to New York, organ
ized the Junta, perfected the vast sys
tem of revenue collection among the
Cuban exiles in this country, Franco
and Italy which has supplied most of
the financial support of the insurrec
tion, superintended the complicated net
work of filibustering' activities and,
without recognition by any govern
ment on earth and in the fa. e of a
prejudice sedulously fostered by the
Spanish agents In this country, set out
to combat, the polished diplomats of
Madrid in their campaign of deception
and Intiicuo at Washington.
This little old man, and we use tho
rhrnse with the utmost respect, had
ob'itacles in front of him compared with
which the task of Franklin in France
was esiy. but he quietly worked on.
Ills record in the last three years will
be scanned In vain for evidence of a
single ei ror. Only once did he formally
address the American people, and then
his s-olomn. almost pathetic words
pledging resistance to Spain to the last
man and the last dollar commanded the
public's unreserved sympathy. And
now, with victory almost won, his
thought Is not of glory or of gain,
but of that loyal family In the little
ork state village which has sustained
him through all these ttlnls, though
often lacking the necessaries of llfj
while ho served the cause of his native
land without paj and turned every
penny of his personal Income Into the
tteasury of the revolution.
Th.) henchmen of Mark Hanna and
his ilk may slander this noble old pa
triot by ..ailing him a bond speculator,
but those who know him know better
and history will yet throw the libel
back with shama upon Its disseminat
ors. When the queen spoke of the "honor"
of Spain she should have submitted a
diagram.
War Taxes.
The people are ready to osstime what
ever financial burdens may be neces
sary to carry forward the purpose of
the Cuban resolution. Their patriot
ism reaches into their pocketbooks as
well as Into their lungs. The man who
grumbles at the prospect of war taxes
is as much the enemy of clvUizutlon as
Is the uniformed representative of ty
rannical and perfidious Spain. War tax
ation, moreover, should be sufficient to
make possible the prosecution of a
short, sharp and decisive campaign.
The harder the initial blow, the greater
the economy and the more probable an
early peace.
The Ways and Means committee of
congress, with which revenue legisla
tion must originate, is proceeding dis
creetly in considering as subjects for
Increased taxation those articles which
can bear It with least injury to gen
eral business and with the most eqult
ablo diffusion of the burden. A tax of
1!5 cents a barrel on crude petroleum
would yield $15,000,000 a year and add
not more than half a cent a gallon to
the retail cost of tho refined oil. This
would seem to be a judicious form of
emergency taxation, as would a tax on
chewing gum. A tax on tobacco should
be preferred to a tax on tea and coffee,
und a tax on beer to either. But a tax
on tea would probably prove beneficial
In the long run, Inasmuch as it would
stop tho importation of tho cheaper
grades, which ure lurgely adulterated
und unfit for consumption at any price.
A tax on telegrams and commercial
paper would be preferable to an ln
coino tax, Inasmuch as It would be
moro likely to dlsappearafter the emer-
gency which necessitated It had sub
sided, An Income tax is vicious In prin
ciple because It Is essentially n class
tax. Hut oven an Income tax will bo
borne In patience If necessary. The
Popullstle demagogues who clamor for
It will not be permitted to claim ii
monopoly of the patriotism of the
country.
The main point to be considered Is
to raise sufficient tcventie at the very
beginning of the hostilities to equip and
operate tin army capable of crushing
tho enemy In short order. With Spain
bankrupt and at the end of her ropo
this ought' not to be as difficult as It
seems.
It Is very unsafe to take without dis
count the estimates of a prominent
man's character supplied by that man's
political opponents. Perhaps no man In
Pennsylvania has been more flagrantly
abused and slandered than Senator C.
L. Mngee: yet on the occasion of his
fiftieth birthday a few daya ago the
best citizens of Pittsburg turned out to
do him honor and spoke so well of him
that political slander must hereafter
fall harmless. In fact It Is almost safe
to honor a public man in exact propor
tion as he Is assailed, on the principle
that the more virulent the detraction
the loftier the target.
The war department displays good
judgment In deciding to offer every
possible facility to wnr correspondents.
The vocation of tho war correspondent
Is as legitimate and useful as Is that
of the soldier, nnd In a popular gov
ernment It Is due from rulers to people
that the people should not be handicap
ped In their quest of information.
Munitions nnd supplies for Gomez
should be the first step. One experi
enced nnd acclimated Cuban properly
armed would be worth for Immediate
results half a dozen tender American
volunteers.
Inviting a licking from Uncle Sam In
preference to taking one from the Carl
Ist hotheads at home may prove to the
Spanish government to be a case of
jumping from the frying pan into the
open fire.
The duration of the war will probably
depend largely upon tho skill with
which Spain can evade Uncle Sam's
clutches. It is hard to whip an enemy
you cannot got hold of.
Senor Polo took hold too, late. Per
haps If Spain had had a gentleman as
her minister at Washington earlier In
the game the ultimatum stage would
have been averted.
Perhaps Mr. Wanamaker shouldn't
say much about a muzzled press, con
sidering his own control over the
Philadelphia dailies that carry his ad
vertisements. Five thousand American Cubans have
already proffered their services to the
government. They evidently have no
desire to be deadhead patriots.
Tho queen regent is correct in calling
Spain's future "dark and gloomy." But
It is a future strictly in lino with
Spain's past. It is self-made.
The London press seems to dislike
our blunt ways, but had the action
been England's, Spain would have been
kicked out months ago.
It is possible that France will live
to regret her present partisanship for
Spain.

Three Months of
History Making
From the Philadelphia Press.
THE PAST thrco months have ben
filled with events of which history
will not fall to tako note. They
have succeeded each other with
such sturtllng rapidity that even
well-Informed people have lost track of
tho thread and it may bo well to trace Its
course. The following is a record of the
leading occurrences which have, happened
In tho three months ending last Monday
night:
o
Jan. 1 The house of representatives de
feated an attempt to force a recognition
of Cuban belligerency.
Jan. 21-Uruiser Maine ordered to Hav
ana. Feb. 9 The De Lome letter published.
Feb. 10 De Lome resigns and his jcblg.
nation accepted at Madrid.
Keb. It-The Maine blown up In the
harbor of Havana.
Feb. 21-Court of inquiry begins inves
tlgulion at Havana.
Feb. 28 Evidence grows strong that tho
Maine was blown up by a mine or tor
pedo, Murch 6-Sptln tries to secute the fecall
of Consul General Lee.
March S-Congrets votes unanimously
for a defense fund of J50.OUO.000.
March 13 Scnutor Proctor makes a sis
nlflcant speech in the senate on the con
ditlon of Cuba.
March II Spain's toipedo fleet sails for
the Canary Islands.
March 10 Maine coutt of Inquiry fin
ishes Its work.
.March 2S The president sent the report
of tho Malno court of Inquiry to con

April 20.
April 16 Senate passes Cuban recogni
tion resolution.
April 18 Coneres agrees on a.rekolu.
tlon to Intervrnn tit the affairs of Cuba,
but not recognizing tho Cuban republic,
Is tlilrty-thne years rIiico three
months In American history have con
tained so many stirring events. To equal
them It Is neresary to go back to the
spring of C when Gencial Sherman
having marched through Georgia was ad
vancing through the Atlnutlo Const
states gaining victory after lctory, and
Genernls Grant and Sheridan were ham
mering at the gales of lllchmond. A
generation has passed away since that'
day and a new generation has come on ,
tlin stage. Youths who recollect the war
for the Union only ns n distant echo
they could scarcely define nro now ap
proaching middle ago and arc likely to
read again of war.
Till'. NK.YT STEP.
From the Philadelphia Prc&.
President McKlnley launches thr coun
try on tho path which leads to war by
blgnlng the resolutions passed by con
gress nnd acquainting Spain with their
character nnd contents, Decently and In
order, without haste and without delay,
the president will tako tho next step in
tho great drama which clones in blood
shed and war four centuries ot Spanish
rule In tho New World. Hocking with the
excitement of opening war, the country
n.ny well remember and regard the mo
mentous and difficult task before the
president In executing the will of con
gress und the country. The Spanish nrmy
has to bo expelled from un Isl.ind which
needs a largo land force to hold and to
occupy. Our good name must not be dis
graced by massacro during a military in-ter-regnum.
Tho starving must be re
lieved and fed. Order must be restored
over I1.UU0 sqiuiro miles nnd l,r,iH.000 of
population, scourged for three years by
Interncchio strife. A stable and civilized
government must be organized In an
Island which for wueratlmis has known
only Spanish cruelty and corruption.
President McKlnley enters on this task
enjoying the confidence of the entire
country, and all Its conservative forces,
independent of party, will rally In his aid
and support. Nor is there, we believe,
anywhere any holier and rational Amor
lean who Is not convinced that this task
Is tv duty tho United State. wan bound to
discharge, thotirii war lay In the way and
which It could not cither In honor or In
humanity nvold nnd which it assumes
only when delay became disregard of the
claims of mercy and civilization. Wnr Is
the last nnd woist of human evils, but
even war must bo accepted when It be
comes necessary to protect the weak, to
succor tho starving, to free tho oppressad.
EN'(;r.,VN'I)'S JUST CLAIM.
From the Philadelphia Pres.
The introduction of a bill by enator
Lodge appropriating $173,107 to pay tho
Bering sea claim Great Uritaln has
against this country should receive fa
vorable attention at the rarllest mo
ment that congressional forms of pro
cedure will permit.
The eijlm is a just one. It nas award
ed by the International commission whose
decision the United States ought In honor
to accept. Tho delay already had and
the appearance of unwillingness to abide
by tho terms of the agreement have ilono
harm and a cause for iriitatlnii will exist
until the money Is paid. It is a Just debt
nnd should be discharged.
Besides, no more appropriate time than
the present for paying It could be had.
The spirit England has exhibited in the
controversy with Spain has been broai
and generous and this country should
reciprocate with a like expresMou of good
will. Wo can do this in no better way
than by paying a Just claim.
HLOOI) SPEAKS TO BLOOD.
From tho Philadelphia Hccord.
Perhaps the most remarkable develop
ment growing out ot the culmination of
the trouble between the United, Statc-s
nnd Spain has been tho outspoken friend
liness of the pcoplo of Great lliitaln. It
would bo churlish upon our part to at
tribute this sympathetic attitude solely
to eit.ier Hellish commercial or political
motives. Both of these Influences doubt
less have their weight. The trade be
tween this country nnd Great Britain la
so vast that it necessarily gives color to
tho policy of both countries. The grow
ing Isolation of Great Britain in Europa
naturally Induces her to seek to redress
tho balance of power by closer relations
with tho United States. But back of and
beyond consdde rations ot threatened trado
or empire are stronger ties of common
lineage, language, laws and literature
Blood tells; and blood tpeaks.
TltlJE AMERICAN SI'IUIT.
From tho Illustrated American.
Never in the history of this country has
the true American spirit stood out more
luminously than during the Irritating
period that has brought us to the point
of rupturo with Spain. No American
worth knowing has lost either his poise or
his temper. For this reason it will prove
to be good philosophy on the part ot our
opponents to "bewaro the fury of tho
patient man!"
NAVAL PROGRESS.
Tho new "protected cruiser" cruised upon
the ocean wide
Till a man-of-war espied her and punched
holes into her side.
And the men-of-war continued lor a little
while to float.
Till driven to the bottom by a new torpedo-boat.
Then while the foe triumphant rubbed his
hands and softly laughed,
Torpedo-boat destroyers came and sunk
the other craft.
And as the victor dashed about, through
battle's smoke and murk.
Destroyers of torpedo-boat destroyers
did their work.
Whereat Into the action something new
In vessels came
"Destroyers of destroyers of destroyers"
was Its nume.
Which brings tho matter down to date,
where it will rest no doubt.
Until some ton-times wrecker of desttoy.
ers ventures out.
