Truthful friends of W. C. Gilbert earnestly protest that the story of his big trout catch is no joke.

To Find the Spanish Fleet The Times has been/censured by Some of its republican jontempora- Ties, who permit their judjzment to be. drives of the several concerns from | temporarily paralyzed by their partisan ship, for its comments on the conduct of the war, They imaginethey are the only patriots, when they are only partisans. ‘The slightest criticism of the conduct of the war throws them into a frenzy of rage, because such criti- cism seems to bea reflection upon the preternatural wisdom and courage of their demigod, the president. Such devotion to a party leader, which they call loyalty, 1s merely a sign of weak- ness or partisan slavishness. The president 1s only a man. His election to the presidency did not im- part to him new intellectual gifts, or spiritual seership, or infallibility of judgment. He still remains human and liabie to err. ‘The Times has pro- ceeded upon this theory in saying that the coxduct of the war is difficult to understand, in view of the avowed purpose of it. How _ the reconcen- trados aro to be saved from starvation by capturing the Phillippine islands or sinking a Spanish squadron five thousand miles away from Cuba,’ ‘The Times has found it difficult to com- prehend, and has mildly and deferen- tially said so. There has been no thought of wounding the feelings of the most sensitive McKinley adorer. But those thin-skinned republican editors, most ot whom are postinas- ters, of the beneficiaries of séme other form of federal patronage, will be shocked to find that The ‘Times’ opinion is shared by a good many re- publican leaders. For example, 1n congress last Monday, Representative Dolhver of Iowa, perhaps the most eloquent republican orator in that body, had the temerity to say: The way to find that Spanish fleet, from my point of view, is to concentrate Sampson aud Schley at Havana, Put wn army across into Cuba and let the Spanish know that we are out tor business. If that Spanish fleet wants to fight, it will then find itself. Now this 1s rank impiety. What does Dolliver know about war? It is effrontery, almost blasphemy, to criti- cise the conduct of the war by the in- spired general-in-chief of the army, and Dolliver ought to know it. Isn’t he aware that when a man 1s elected to an office on the republican ticket he 1s inbued with supernatural wisdom and that a Pentecostal gift of infalibil- ity is bestowed upon~ him? Then there is Speaker Reed, who is report- ed as making the following sarcastic remarks: The administration is engaged in giving a stable government to Cuba. Th what congress authorized. But like the sage fel- tow who fi wanted tto try it ona dog, the administration wants’ to give an object lesson in stable government, in the Piilippines and Porto Kico, in order that the Cubans may contemplate it before hav- ing it triedon tiem. Meantime the recon- centrados for whom we so vehemently sym- pathized are being fed to buzzards. Now, it is for saying just these things that The ‘Times has been roundly abused by the postmaster and other esteemed obsequious parti- san editors. It 1s very evident that the view of the situation expressed by The Times and _ the two distinguished republican ‘eiders quoted above is shared by a large number of persons who voted for President. McKinly and that number 1s increasing. Send anarmy into Cuba! One ought to have been there three weeks ago. Let Sampson’s guns pound Morrow Castle into the ground. ‘hen if the Spanish fleet wants to fight, or ever intends to fight, it will know where to find our fleet. Ifit prefers to remain in hiding on the other side of the world, there is no need for us to object. We have undertaken to free Cuba and put an end to Spanish deviltry on the island Let usdo that at once. ‘hen, if it appears necessary for our own * wel- fare or the peace and civilization of this hemisphere that Spain should be driven out of the Pacific ocean, let us do that. But first of all, we should capture Havana and stop feed- ing Weyler’s buzzards with the Cuban reconcentrados,—Munneapolis ‘Times.
