Mark Hanna’s Aphorisms/ j Those who have watch d tn«i course taken by Mark Haim i-. for the last fifty days have had; their vocabulai y enriched by some choice aphorisms. Wh- li the Maine was blown | up Mark Hanna came forward; with the positive announce-; ment: “It was an accident. ! When doubt- were thrown, upon this theory bv evidence) in the case, Mark Hanna said :j : “v\ hether it was an accident; I or not, the cr- w were to blame j i for not being more caieiti;. | I Later on when it became | Sure that treachery cans d toe, explosi n, Mark Hanna said: “Why didn’t Sigsbee reporu an internal explosion,aun sa \ e us all 1 his trouble?” When the hearts of Americans were fired with patriotism and the probability of war with So. in was greeted with unive sal approval, Mark Hanna sa.d: „ “There will be no war When Thurston and Gultiuger described the sufferings of t e rec uicentrados, Mariv Hanna said: # P ’■‘They are making loom cu the in solves.” And yet Mark Hanna is a 3nat or of United States, i nd not a member of the Span-

, )!i cortes. ~ , Whatever may be the out--4 ome of the present situation, whether the United States backs down and accepts the insults of *Bpain, or, with patriotic spirit, resents these msu ts and liumbles the dons, Mark Hanna’s aphorisms will remain as the concrete express «ion of the sentiments held by the money powu'.—Ex.

DEMOCRATS ARE RIGHTit is highly gratifying that while the dispatches repor the republican side of congress ic a chaotic s 1 ate over the Cul-an question the democraic members are in _e Mo

parties in 1896 - Senator G ray who is spoken of ss “tne only democratic senator who now appears willing to join with the republicans in eliminating the .eeognition of the Cuban republic,” is a gold bug. and, of cours \ is not bound by he democratic platform. So far as appears from the reports i he democi its present an unbroken trort for ‘he recogni iion of tiie indopei deuce of Cuba and armed intervention for the expulsioi of the Spanish troops from the island.— Tlii.i is as it should be, for the reason t l \at the democratic platform was explicit on this subject and political parties ought to keep faith with the people. Moreover it is the ri lit thing to do at he present time by every rule of humanity and justice and by all the precedents of American history. The action of Grant and Cleveland in regard to C nba was under different con-

editions. Tlmre was no recoilcentration tilt n and i.o ican warships had been blown no. These additional points o emphasis to tee situation were lacking, it they he con* sidered no more than that. On the other hand, the republican forces seem to he in a statli of hopeless state of confusion, not becan e the major* ity of he members are not clear in their judgment as to what ought to be done, but because the doing 1 hat means a break with the president and possibly a factional split in the party, i here is no room to question this. The insurgent spirit, has been open and the pressure it has brought to bear on the" president to secure a

more decisive line of policy is known to everybody. The effort has failed. J lie influences that have controlled the administration from the firs! have been too strong for the patriotic members of the republican party, who hoped to see their party stand on this question as its platform pledged and as reason and justice deman-i it should stand. * The question now is whether the right-mind -id republican congressmen will submit to the; administration’s dictation, or!

will put country and honor above party considerations and join in a declaration for Cub n independence, and for its enforcement by the United States. We trust that Americanism may prove stronger than republicanism in this struggle.—lndianapolis Sentinel. .
