CONGRESS AND WAR.
Taken altogether, congress baa
acted with a great deal of patriotism
ia the Spanish trouble. Barring a
lew indiscreet speeches and uncalled
for criticism of -the president, the
nembcrs generally have acted in a
conservative, dispassionate manner.
The senate and house have agreed
upon a resolution which amounts, in
Its purport, to a declaration of war,
aw) this resolution the president is
expected to sign today. u
This completes the second stage
ia the affair, the first having been
the diplomatic negotiations carried
on between Washington and Madrid.
As has been frequently said, un
less Spain completely back down,
"war is a certainly, and it is gratify
ing to note the ease and quickness
-with which the United States hns
prepared itself for the conflict. We
do not believe that the struggle will
continue long, nor that much blood
will be fched. Spain may put up a
show of resistance, but it is written
to the fate:1 that she is a moribund
country,. and unable to cope with the
fresh vigor of the West.
"Whatever may come, this nation
will have the consolation that it did
nothing hastily, but only resorted to
arias after provocation unendurable.
THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
War or peace alike demands a
final settlement of the financial prob
lem which has vexed the people
since the agitation for free silver ob
tained a foothold in the federal leg
islature, says the Independent. We
cannot count upon always being the
creditor of the outside world; on
having famines abroad and surpluses
-at home ; on keeping at home the
;ge3 .produced from our mines and
hrmging here stores from the vaults
of Europe. The great gold stiength
of the national treasury, built up
since the sound mency victory of
189G, .must be conserved. The bank
Jag facilities, of the country need en
largement in some directions and
noie elasticity throughout. War
should not blind us to the imperative
need of currency reform; peace
should be utilized for the greater
facilitating of the work.
The hope of international bimetal
lim must be deferred by its advo
cstes for a long time. It is obvious
ly impracticable when the trend of
events and influences in the British
Umpire is pointing toward the prob
ably introduction of the gold stand
rd in India boiore many years
perhaps months. The rising of the
Cuban specter brought to a halt the
efforts of the party iu power at
Washington to devise an acceptable
plan for securing the foundations of
our financial system.
Yet the duty oflthe nation in this
regard should not be wholly aban
doned under any stress. The gov
aranent and the people must spare
WK '.time 'from the forging of can
nm md ithe buying of warships to
it .domestic problems. of rail

as passed is eminently a wise one,
and is completely in accord with
President McKinley's views. What
the American people have long de
sired has come, and Spain will be
hurled from off the Western Hemis
phere because of her utter inhuman
ity. The United States can well be
called the foremost exponent of
