“1 reacbery once makes treachery easy again.—Judge i ykeman be fore Democratic gathering, /anu* a ry Bth, 1898. _ x Tbeie is one kind of diplomacy in which Spain will have no ad* vantage over the American repre* s ntatives, and that is gunpowder diplomacy. Every democrat in +he house ot representatives voted to recognize the independence of the Guban republic, and every republican but three voted against it, Orders to move troops make the outlook warlike- Mobilization will take place at Ne.v Orleans, Mobile and Tampa- Thousands of troops to be assemoled at these ci'ies at once. Gliickamauga field will be usee for a camping ground.

It is reported that the president is “mucii diepleased” that the word “independent” was placed in the house resolutions. That is just like McKinfev gives the whole snap away after Grosvenor had demonstrated that “independent’* was exactly what the president wanted.

Every democrat in the housevoted for the minority resolutions, recognizing the independence of Cuba, showing their readiness for to vote for war on that ba*<is. There were only three men who voted against both resolutions.. B mtclle of Maine, Johnson of Indiana and Loud of California—all republicans. The main negative vote was simply a condemnaton of the failure to recognize Cuban independence.

The intervention proposition “involves” says the President, in his message “hostile restraint upon both the parties -o the contest as Well *o enforce a truce as to guide the eventual settlement ” In other words, the insurgents in aim , as well as the Spaniards, are to be “restrained”*. by United States forces operated in Cul a. course! If “hostil e restraint” does not mean that, what in the name of Hanna and his satellites does it mean ? Taken in connection with the President’s avowed antagonism to Mdepondence and his refusal to demand of Spain the evacuation of Cuba this declaration to impose “hostile restraint” upon the insurgents nns a significant sound. The more the message’s studied the more disappointing it is shown to be. It is li f tie wonder that a natiou weary of incapacity and ambiguity, faintheartedness and indecision, looks to Cong ess for deliverance.
