IF WE SHOULD GO TO WAR.
Tfcis from the Oregonian gives an
excellent resume of the military sit
uation of this country regarding
Spain:
-'We are ready for war today. In
that event, our first step would be to
blockade HavaDa. This would con
fine the 00,000 Spanish troops now
in Cuba to the island ; would cut off
M hope of reinforements from Spain.
Spain would thus lose its Cuban
base, with no power or opportunity
to secure an American base which
could be successfully held and util
ized. The Spanish ships would thus
be deprived of the means of coal
.tag unless by tenders accompanying
rfjj&m, which are always liable to de
-vstruotion or dispersion. We would
i At.once seize some minoi seaport on
the Cuban coast, comcSunicate with
'Ihe insurgent forces, which are not
less than 40,000 etrong, supply them
rannmij small arms, ammunition and
.aCfcary supplies of ' all sorts, and,
without the landing of a single
American soldier in Cuba, the Span
ish army, which depends for Its sup
port entirely . upon provisions im
ported from abroad, would soon be
starved into surrender.
'The Spanish army fn Cuba today
gets rice, beans and flour from Spam ;
meat from Mexico and Florida. The
city of Havana, with its 200,000 in
habitants, gets its milk in condensed
form from the United States; its
eggs and vegetables from Florida.
If food imports' were stopped, the
food supply of Havana would be ex
ftansted in a week. In short, we
should only need to blockade, the
Spaniards oy sea, give tue insurgents
all the rifles, cartridges and cannon
thej- need, and the Spanish armj-,
bottled up in Havana and the other
imporfnt seaports, xwould have to
choose between tbe increasing devil
of jjerfectly equipped rebel army in
front and the deep sea of starvation
behind. ' The Spaniards would, of
-ourse, try with their navy to break
our blockade, but this attempt wouhd
be hopeless with our naval base of
supply at Key West, only eighty
..miles, and that of the Dry Tortogas,
. only sixty, miles from Havana. Porto
Siee, of course, would be included
an oor blockade. -
"Our own seaboard is safe against
any force that Spain could bring
agamst it. Spain would doubtless
iresort to privateering, bnt our mer
cantile marine is mostly coastwise,
and we should make the war so short
and sharp that our commerce could
not suffer much injury. Besides our
cuormuos superiority in men and
t. a I
money, we wouiu uave me enormous
advantage of beiBg able to sit sti'l
and wait for' an attack on us by an
assailant who will be obliged to cross
the Atlantic. There is not the
slightest probability that Spajn could
break our blockade of its present
Cuban base, could seriously threaten
our Atlantic seaboard cities, or in
jure our coastwise commerce to any
considerable extent. With the
blockade of Cuba maintained; wp.b
the insurgent array fully armed and
supplied with munitions of war,
Spain would surely lose Cuba within
sixty days after our bloskade was
complete and our communications
with tbe Insurgent army fully se
cured." . V '
THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WAR.
The responsibility upon President
McKinley and his advisers is some
thing terrible. War is a fearful
thing, even when waged in a right
eous cause, and it is but natural that
the president should seek every hon
orable means of avoiding such a con
dition. It should not be thought be
cause President McKinley is anxious
to effect a peaceful settlement of tbe
Spanish question, tljat he docs not
feel the full force of patriotic 'im
pulses, or tha.t he is any less a lover
of his country.
It will be a disappointment to
man7, perhaps, that tbe adrcimstra
tion did not demand reparation for
the destruction ot the Maine imme
diately upon the finding of the naval
commission's report. This was what
the nation expected, and was a course
if action that undoubtedly would
have proved popular.
But the administration is upon an
other tack, which will be as effica
cious in bringing Spain to a realiza
tion of her own infant, and at the
same lime place the actions of this
government upon a higher ground of
civilization. It is plainly to be seen
that intervention in Cuba by this
government is but a few days re
moved. The statements made by
Senators Proctor and Gallinger, and
the pathetic eloquence of Thurston
have removed all doubt but that it is
the duty of America to intervene,
in the interests of Christian human-
it , and stop the Spanish slaughter.
And this tbe administration will do.
Those who are clamoring for war
will get it, since nothing but a com
plete abandonment by the Spaniards
of their present diplomatic position
will prevent it. . But the casus
belli will be more favorably received
in the eyes of the World when it is
placed upon the ground of humanity
rather than that of revenge.

tended ' to be for peace at any price,
but they were really for secession at
any price. But there is today no
sentiment in favor of Spain and
Spanish infamies. It is safe to say
that, if the president only succeeds
in convincing the congressmm with
whom he confers that the- independ
ence of Cuba enters into his general
plan as the end in view, he will have
iheir undivided and enthusiastic sup
port, without haggling and quibbling
over minorietails.
The report that Weyler is about to
supersede Blanco as captain general
of Cuba must tend to biing the pres
ident and
mony, for it intensiGej the feeling
that Cuba must be free. If Spain
wants to make its pwn loss of the
island a. foregone conclusion, without
the shadow of uncertainty, let it put
that butcher back in . Havana. It
would serve notice on the United
States that there must be no more in
terference with his policy of starva
tion, and that, in turn, would re
move any and all barriers against
prompt action by congress and the
president. -
: . ,
Fusion in name and in fact are two
differen things. While it has been
comparatively easy to divide the
offices among the various political
bodies representing fusion, ii will be
far more difficult to hold the different
elements together election day. The
Republicans need not fear the fusion
ticket, if only the dissensions within
oiir own organization can be made to
cease. Now is the time for the Re
publican .'eaders to display some un
selfishness and give and take enough
to effect a compromise whereby the
full party support can be assured for
the convention's nominees. Simon
men and anti-Simon men should re
member that individual ambitions'
should not count when tbe common
good is threatened.

THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS
It is now evident that one of the
leading features of President Me
Kinley's Cuban policy is to bring
congress into harmonious under
standing. At tbe bottom there is
no conflict of opinion. Everybody
is horrified by tbe starvation tactics
of Spain in Cuba, and wants the war
stopped, abd that not temporarily
but permanently. Such being the
case, the problem is greatly simpli
fied, and its solution, says the Inter
Ocean, becomes 'largely a matter of
what might be called domestic di
plomacy. President McKinley is peculiarly
well tilted for such a task. Every
inch a partisan, without oie drop of
mugwump blood in his veins, and a
thorough believer in party organiza
tion, he is also eminently free fiom
partisan auimosity. No man ever
rose to prominence in public life who
was -Letter fitted tor. the particular
duty now bn hand. It may well be
doubted if there is a single man in
either tbe senate or the house who
does not feel kindly toward William
McKinley .and to whom he cannot talk
as one friend with another. His
prominence in politics has been along
lines of unimpassioned statesmanship,
and his way of treating public ques
tions, always has been respectful to
tbe opposition. The .current of
events could not have been herein
more favorable to the attainment of
what seems to be the especial object
now in view. . .
It is not often that the situation
balls so distinctly for this line of pol
icy. When Abraham Lincoln came
into the presidency he tried to avert j
war by appeal to the conservative
and pacific sentiment of the whole
country, but there was no response.
Not only was the South determined
to go out of tbe union, but there was
a large element at the North in sym
patby with the rebels. They pre-
The prospects for Republican suc
cess in the' coming county campaign
are excellent. All that is needed is
for tbe Republican convention to
nominate a representative ticket,
composed of men in whose honesty
and efficiency the people have con
fidence. The conglomeration which
goes under the name of the fusion
ticket does not appeal to the major
ity of voters as being remarkable for
strength, and already there lias de
veloped in the ranks of the fusionists
an idea that defeat is more than a
probability. The Republicans chosen
at the primaries Saturday as dele
gates to the county convention can
be counted upon to use every en
deavor to select worthy nominees,
and The Chronicle is willing to
make the prediction that every can
didate upon the county Republican
ticket next June will be elected.
Those who are hasty to criticise
President McKinley because be does
not rnsh war with Spain to an imme
diate issue, should remember that
there are facts and conditions known
to the president with which tbe coun
try at large is not, nor can be, ac
quainted. It is easy to remember
with what violent criticism President
Lipcoln was assailed because he did
not do all thiDgs at once, and yet
history shows how far-Seeing and
wise were his acts. President Mc
Kinley can be trusted to do everj
ihicg that is best - for tbe nation, and
to dp it in good time. He is a. pa
triot without one drop of crowardly
blood, and when the iron is hot he
will strike the blow.

A marked interest was taken in tbe
primaries, and active work was done by
the partisans of tbe different tickets.
In one of the main street, of Shelbyville,
Indiana, resides Mrs. Emily Edwards and
her seventeen year old daughter, Cora. The
young lady is one- of the charming misses oi
the city, she being known for her beauty,
and perfect health.
"Although enjoying good health now,"
said her mother to a reporter recently, " she
has not always been so fortunate. I suppose
Cora, until two years ago last March, was as
healthy and. strong ns any girl of her age.
She was attending school and was studying
hard. ' Perhaps she was too studious, for we
noticed t hat the healthy color in her cheek was
rapidly disappearing, and she was becoming
pale and sallow.- Dark,, swollen circle, be

became worse. We were living in Franklin,

was almost continually in pain. Nothing
which we did for her seemed to do any good.
"Different physicians treated and pre
scribed for her, but she kept getting worse.
She had formerly weighed 10? pounds, but
during her illness her weight had dwindled
down to 79 pounds. We began to.thinl'
there was nothing we could do for her bene
fit, when I happened to notice an article in
a paper regarding the merits of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. I thought that
if there was ever a pale person it was cer
tainly Cora, so I decided to bay a box of
the pills and let her try them. It wag the

the middle of June when she stopped using

predict that before tbe century closes

nations once so great, but exist no
longer.

the pills. The first dose helped her, and
after the first box had been taken, she was
a different girl. She continued with this
medicine and when she had taken eight
boxes a complete cure had been effected.
She is now stronger, can eat more, sleep,
better, and weighs more than she did before
she was taken sick. I am sure too much
cannot be said about Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People in her case, as they
undoubtedly saved her life. We have re
