V. World. THURSDAY APRIL 14. 1S9S THE PRESWEXT. A great deal of this criticism gcing on auous r-resmem .ucrnn.ey mere twaddle. "We cannot see what . 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. project is under way to have The Dalles lighted by the new goso Ike light manufactured by a com- J yaay iu Goldemlale.
