Public opinion is naturally divid ed on the policy of President McKio ley's administration as expressed in his message to CoDgress, yet his course haying been foreshadowed by press dispatches made up from interviews of those nearest him in an official ca pacity, the public mind was prepared in advance for an opinion that, while it would mean war if necessary, should not carry with it a recognition of the independence of Cuba at the start. The President believes that the best interests of the Cuban peo ple as well as our ewu can best be served by such a course. His idea is to stop hostilities at once and give the sufferers a chance to recuperate, then if found expedient, to establish Cuban independence.freedom and Iran quility on .the Island. In other words, to compel a complete cessation of hoe tili ties and bring about the desired results with as little bloodshed as possible. Whether Congress will agree to this is gravely doubted, but whether it would not be, after all, the best policy, is another question the determination of which may dawn upon the American people when too late. What the American people do mand, after all, is Spain's evacuation of the Island and adequate repara tion for the Maine outrage, aud Dott ing short of that will srtisfv them. And this will come assure as the sun rises. y . ,. " The establishment of the Republic of Cuba, free and sovereign, will lead ti peace, and it is the only road open. Spain is at liberty to treat direct with the insurgents for their inde pendence. That sensible course would be a legitimate subject for pride. The "news from balloonist Andre" fake was a long time in showing up, but it came just as sure. The puz zling part of it is how it was kept in the background to long. Austualia is about toship 8(3,100, 000 more gold to the United States. The financial philosophers who have been harping on tbe cowardice of gold must own up to another fallacy. The discovery, of a copy of tbe Declaration of Independence in Jef ferson's own handwriting is an inter esting event. But the Virginia slates man's draft of a Popocratic platform is still missing. The Rev. Dr. Swallow is to be nominated by the Prohibition party for Governor on the platform : "Thou (halt not steal." Why not go a little farther, quoting from same chapter: "Thou ebalt not bear false witness." If it should happen, when the Stale convention meets, that Hon. C. W. Stone, of Warren, had enough dele gales to nominate him fur Governor, the voters of Jefferson county, al though tbeir first choice is Hon. W. A. Sluue, would uol be inconsolable. They recoguize iu the Warren Stone a diamond of the first water. Itnx'y Spirit. Gun. Rtf.wakt L. Woobfokd, our Minister to Spain, came very near being the President of tbe United States on one occasion. In 1K80 Gen. Woodford was at one time practi cally decided upon as Gen. Garfield's running mate, but at the last mo ment he was set aside in fovor of Ar thur iu order to placate the Conkliog element in New York. ' THE PRESIDENT'S WAR MESSAGE. The President's message on the sit uation of afflurs with Spain was read in Congress on Monday. The Presi dent prefaced the message with the statement that he sends it because ot the intimate condition of tbe Cuban question with our Union. He showed that the present aud similar revolu tions present one. scene of a ravished island and paralyzed commerce. We have been obliged to police our waters; trade has suffered; our people have lost temper, forbearance and capital, and have been sorely tried. A perilous unrest is begotten. My predecessor iu 181X5 tried to ef fuel peace through mediation for an honorable adjustment, but failed, Spain refusing. Message then recites the prog res of the war, the terrible waste, the horrible tales of starvation from re concentration. This is not civilized warfare, he says, but extermination, lie praises the relief work, says forci ble intervention would check the hopeless sacrifice of life, and would be justifiable on rational grounds and humanity. We owe protection to our citizens in Cuba, and should stop the serious injury to commerce. The elements of danger are intensified by the trsgio destruction of the Maine, fill ing the uation with horror, and show ing that Spaiu cannot protect prop erty. The message asks Congress to em power the executive to take measures to secure a full, final termination of hostilities between the Government of Spain and the people of Cuba, in order to the establishment of a stable government, capable of maintaining order, observing its international ob ligations, insuring peace and tran quility, aud the security of its citi zens as well as our own. To t his end be asks such use of tbe military and naval forces "of the United States as uiuy be necessary for theso purposes. After recommending that the dis tribution of supplies (o tbe non com batants in Cuba be continued, the President closes: "The issue is now with Congress. It is a solemn re gponsibility. I have exhausted every effort to relieve tbe intolerable condi tion at our doors, and am prepared to execute every obligation imposed by the constitution and the law. I await your action." In the message the President ac knowledges the receipt of information that Spain has granted a suspension of hostilities in Cuba, and savs: "If this measure attains a successful re suit, then our aspirations as a Chris tian, peace-loving people will be real ized. If it fails, it will be only an other justification of our contemplat ed action." The President argues that the wreck of tbe Maine in Havana harbor shows conclusively that Spaiu was not able to guarantee the United States or any other nations that security which their vessels have a right to demand, The message strongly opposes tbe recognition of'Cuban beligerancy, as inexpedient, and also opposes the rec ognition of Cuban independence at this time. 1 he message sets forth that Spain herself first suggested tbe desirability of an armistice, and signified her as sent in advance, asking that tin United States use its good offices to secure a like assent from the insurg ents. This request was denied. The Clarion Jacdsonian, one ol the leading Democratic papers of this district, gives this frank utter ance of approval of our Congress roan's attitude on the Cuban question: "Hon W. C. Arnold, our present Congressman, has freely expressed his sympathies with the oppressed and starving people iu Cuba. He is one of the few who have for the past two years remaiued true to the prom ises of the party platform and stood ready to do sumethiog for Cuba, aud he deserves credit for it. His speech ou the Cuban question was clear and unmistakable in its tone. The peo ple of his district appreciate his ac tion on this affair." The N. Y. Herald correctly says: With tbe storm in the nsccudaot we are one with the President. Wherein has Ihe President lacked firmness? His annual message was a profound discussion of Cuba. Believing in tiecs manly Americanism, he re turned him to Havana, Democrat as he was, and declined to recall him at the demand i f Spain He sent tbe indiscreet DeLome pasports without delay. lie treated the Maine ex plosion as a call to arms. By day and by night, under his strenuous, masterful leadership, the country has been preparing for war. Should the blow fall it will be due to the cour age and foresight of the President that it falls upon an armed and pu issant nation. Under the menace of war we are one for the President APRIL AS A WAR MONTH. It is a remarkable coincidence, says au exchange, revealed through historical facts, that the month of April is the war month of our coun try. .During other months of tbe year we have had war and rumors of war, but, strange as it may seem, they generally found their beginning and oftimes their euding during the month of April. Tbe war for American in dependence had its beginning ou the battlefields of Lexington and Con cord, April 19, 1775, and Gen. Wash ington announced to his troops the suspension of hostilities April 10, 1783, just eight yeara later. The first blood shed iu the Mexi can war was ou the 26th day of April, 184(5. General Taylor had sent a force of tiO dragoons nnder Captain Thornton to reconciler the Mexican lines The dragoons were surprised anil lost 1(5 killed. The remainder were taken prisouers. Thornton alone escaped. The first gun in the late civil war was the shot that was heard arouud the world on the 12th of April, 1861, when Ft. Surnpter was fired upon; and on April 15 President Lincoln issued bis proclamation calling for 75,000 men. Iu response to this call the Logan guards of Pennsylvania arrived at Washington on April 18, being tbe first volunteers to report at the defense of the capitol. On the llUh the Sixth Massachusetts regi ment was fired upon in the streets of Baltimore. That night the Norfolk navy yards were burned and Har per's Ferry arsenal was taken. Richtuoud fell into the hands of our troops AJiril 3, 18(55. Gen. Lee surrendered on the 9th aud on the 12th "tho Army of Northern Vir ginia, formed in divisions for the last time, and marching to a designated spot, near Appnmatox Court House, laid dowu its arras and disbanded," occurring just four yeara from the time Ft. Snmpter was fired upon. Johnson's agreenieut to surrender was signed April 18, just four years from the time tbe first troops armed to protect our capitol. President Lincoln was assassinated April 14 and died on the 15th, four yesrs from the time he issued the call for troops. The Washington Post very prop- erly says: There is not, there should not be, a thought o mere party ad vantage in this matter. The South is as loyal as the Noith. The Demo crats are as patriotic as the Republi cans The issue touches on, lovVof country, not the elections of next November. The crisis embraces all of us with equal force. He who would seek to extort a personal or a partisan benefit from an emergency involving the national welfare, (he honor of the flag, the spotless glory of our 'scutcheon, is no true son of the Republic. He who would make these sacred things the material of sordid barter and vicious calculation is a traitor to the country's fame. There is only one proper cause of em ulation among patriots at such a time, and (hat is the dignity, ihe glory aud the honnrble repute of the Union ww love so well. West Point Cadet.
