THE PRESWEXT.
A great deal of this criticism gcing

. a - . 1 a r T . I I
great harm hns been done throush
the president s notion. It is true
opinion mar differ as to the wisdom
of his judgment in treating the de
struction of the Maine as an incident
-and not as a cause of war; but under
the findings of the naval board it
would have been hard for the presi
dent to force war on an issue which
a board of inquiry bad not been able
to find chargeable to Spain. Still,
we believe it would have been bet
ter bad the president done so, and
an expression of difference of opin
ion upon the part of the press and
people is perfectly in order. But to
charge the president with being un
patriotic and vacillating when he has
shown a firm and dignified purpose
throughout, reverts more on his de
tractors than the executive himself.
It was an exceedingly trying and
difficult position, and we believe
3icKinley has conducted himself as
well as any other man could have
done. He has placed the responsi
bility of declaring war where it be
longs with congress, and if it want
war, congress can so declare. The
president does not run the country ;
He is only a factor m it, and though
a potential one, he can do nothing
More in thts instance than to lay the
whole matter before congress for
such action as that body thinks. To
criticise is easy, but how many ot
those who criticised could have done
As well under the circumstances?
Tne sailing of the flying squadron
under sealed orders is tantamount to
a declaration of war. Undoubtedly
the purpose of the American fleet is
to meet the Spanish flotilla some
where off Porto Eico and intercept
it The Spaniards have been rein
forced by a couple of battleships,
and when Commodore Schley's ves
sels meet them the first great naval
bmttle of recent years will be fought. 1
There may be other orders contained
in the sealed directions toCommo- ,
dore Schlev, but it seems reasonable !
to believe that the American ships
have gone to meet the Spanish ves
sels. While from a national stand
point the interest in the coming en
gagement is intense, it will also be
watched with absorbing attention by
the civilized world. It has never
been demonstrated how the new bat
tleships will act in an engagement.
That the conflict will be deadly all
will agree, but our confidence in
American brain, brawn and patriot
issa leaves no doubt in the mind
where the victory will lie.
