Just what reason some senators sod representatives may have for criticism of President McKinley's aacasage is n little hard to sec. The president undoubtedly remembers that it is congress which has the sight and privilege to declare vrui, ud tbe executive at best can only recommend. In bis message the president has made a full and correct statement of tbe present situation, and now congress has the power to declare war if it like. 3IcKinlcy Jim made laudable efforts to settle tbe difficulty without resort to war. Seemingly bis labors in this direction have been unavailing, and the onh thing remaining to do was to lay the whole matter before congress and al low it to take such action as it see fit- The president bas done this, .and congress is in control of the sit uation. TJpon the face it looks as if certain senators and representatives see iu attack! ug the president's motives their only opportunity to achieve notoriety, and tbcj eagerly grasp tbe chance. President McKinley has not been direlect in his duty ; be has pot tbe nation upon a war fooling, and while tbe diplomatic negotia tions were going on, there was no doth in preparing means of defense for tbe nation. Let congress go ahead and declare war; but let it also cease trying to make political capital out of the president's action when no wrong can be found therein. Tbe secretary of the interior has sent a report to congress asking an appropriation of 8,000,000 to sup ply the deficiency in the amount of money required for the payment of this year's pensions. In 1890 the list of pensioners contained 538,000 names. It now contains 1,000,000 names; at least, a month ago it con tained with 400 of that number. Tbe appropriation for pensions in 1890 amounted to 72,000,000. For tbe present year $148,000,000 will be required to pay the army and navy pensioners. The increase in the number of pensioners and in the amount of tbe pension appropriation since 1890 is about ninety per cent in each case. President McKinleys desire to settle the Spanish difficulty without resort to arms bns led him to be im posed upon by the Madrid govern ment. Spain's latest proposal for an armistice is simply a ruse for gaining time, but in this instance it will avail nothing. The Rubicon bas been crossed, and nothing but a com pletc back-down upon the pait of Spain will avert war. Which of two evils, turmoil at home or strife abroad, Spain may take is a matter of conjecture yet; but it looks as if aothing would do her but a severe drubbing by this country, and she -will get it. no mercury, and is taken internally, act ing directly upon the blood and roncons surfaces of the system.
